The fleet of bout* be. longing to theae organizations was also very limited. To-day, l.owever, owing to ?hc Im petus given to Doatlng, through the ex ample of the inter-collegiate conte-ts and from the support and <-ncnu agement that Is given to it by all the ablest of our public teachers, as well as from the heads of families and others having the welfare of the rising generation at heart, this flset lias attained proportions but little dreamed of when boating was In Its infancy. Tnen it was thought a great thing if a club pos aesaed TWO OH THKKK BOATS, such as a scuiilug boat, a four-oared trig and a four-oared barge. Now, every man who aspires to become a sculler is not satlsfled unless he owns bis own craft, while at the same time each club of any pretension whatever has in Its house two or three of each kind of crait neces sary to Insure a fair amount of practice to lta members.

As the days draw oat end the sun gains greater power the fleet will, doubtleas. dally Increase. THE PROSPECTS. From present indications and irons all the Infor mation tbat can be gathered there is every rea son to conclude that the summer of 1875 will be a brilll intone so far as boatiug is concerned. The various clubs are now putting tneir houses in order and reflttlag and fixing up their "atilps." Toe boat builders, too. are as busy as they can be on orders received lor new craft. Home of the clubs ure cetttotr tnelr crews together that are to carry tue club colors at tne regattas to be held on tne Harlem aud schuyiklll rivers anu at Troy. The men lorming cr who expect to form one <>i these crews are already in lair condition, having been steadily at work in the gymnasiums throughout the wiuter mouths, thus Keeping down their avor Mm and brai ing tneir muscles at ?ne and tne sumo time. Miid these tne only thing require! is a lime actual b aling prao ice to put on tue Untitling touches. Toe present season. to?. will oe to ail tue clubs a most important one in view of the international contests to take pace next vear during the Centennial ceieoration at Philadelphia; for it will be necessary that dur. ing ttie next few montni. and in fact np to the cioa.ug time, they should develop ail their strength in order to determine upon the most promising material from which io SELECT KCrRESESrATlTO* whom they can send to compete, with a hope of success, lu some of the contests wim tne ccosen ere?? iroui the English waters, as well as those irom otner citiet In the United >ta;e?. The active members of (he different emus are naturally uux ous to ba the elect of their brethren, and aireaoy mere is some discussion to be neard as to the prot> abilities 01 success in tnis directum. Trie glorious Tlctoiy 01 the Ward Brotneisat Saratoga iu 1*71, when they vat.quished the picked toot ot England as wail ?s the other representative crews wtio were engaged in the same struirgle, will not be soon li.rgotien by the lovers ^nd followers of aquatic sports. If the amateur cluos of America would aspire to vrusp tne laurels In ine races with their transatlantic cousins and seek to emulate the example iriven them oy tne Wards, they have no ime to l?ae, but snoulu do their u most to ac quire orodcieucy oy constant work and practice, so that wnen the time ;or tne final struggle arrives tr.ev uiay be able to bear tne strain with honor to tnem?eivea and to tne nation thev represent.

THIRD COMPETITION FOB PLACES OS THE AMER ICAN KIFLX TEAM? LETTEB JTBOM MAJOR LEECH. The third competition for places on the American International rifle team took place at Creodmoor yesterday. The participant* in tlie content were at the range* in good time to open fire by eleven o'clock snarp. The distances shut Irnm, nature of the ritt-8 and ammunition and a ?o the number of rounds discharged by each competitor wore the tame as those used upon former occasions, winch have been already published. Tne fore part or the day was more lavorablo to good practioa than Friday. The light was more subdued und mellow, but clear and dlstinc'. Tne hlnli nvinjf clouds that scudded across the heavens, while preventing cr rors which are liable to arise from '.he refraction consequent upon a glaring sunshine, llirewsuch a suodued tone of light over the targets und ranges as showed these cxaotl* in their natural position a'id colors. The wlud, too, was more la vorable to good practice than on Friday. Acsier dar it blew gently irom the southeast, veeiltig sometimes a lew points toward the Boutu or ensr, kud llnally settled down nearly due smth. Alter two o'clock, when the contestants bad nearly finished at tne 900 yards lange. it beuau to rain, and continued we' at Interval* daring the remainder of Mie competition. This untoward circumstance spoiled a number of good scoies, amotitf them being those of General Dakiu und t'olouel Uoaiiie, these gentlemen very naturally pre erring not to shoot In the rain, especially when there wus no great need for their doing so, a- they staud oh their last year's record. It ts right to state that some murmurs of dissat isfaction have been heard ajtalnst the method adopted wheretiy the gentlemen formiu.T 'lie American team last year tveio allowed to stand j upon their four splendid scores made la that sea- j son s contests, ending with ttio Bennett match. |i is thought that this (rives fltem a double chance over other competitors, in tue first place, when ? the scores upon which these gentlemen now stand were made, ilie weather was nincli more favorable man at present, and It was at the cio.se of a wnole season's practice, of wnien they had the oeueilt.
