any advantage to our correspondents, of horses on heavy work 

 only getting one meal a day and doing well. There was a 

 case of a man, lately recorded in the public prints, who never 

 ate but one meal a day, and was well and happy, Still, such 

 a condition we consider as abnormal. 



A Dastakdlt Outbage.— The poisoning of dogs seems to 

 be on the increase. Wo call attention, to an advertisement in 

 our paper, where $50 is offered by Dr. Stub, of 136 Dean 

 street, Brooklyn, for the discovery of the malicious person 

 who poisoned a fine Newfoundland dog. This case seems to 

 be a most, aggravated one, as the dog was known to be kind 

 and gentle. A good sentence, with a term of imprisonment 

 if a heavy fine were not paid, would inculcate a good lesson. 



The Shkep CjTJgKROjJ— Mr. Editor : In reply to your 



query, Will female dogs worry sheep.?' I must say they will. 

 A very fine pointer bitch owned here by Thomas Baetie was 

 shot while fastened to a sheep, so there could be no mistake 

 about it, as both bitch and sheep were killed by the same dis- 

 charge. In defence of the bitch, I must say that her educa- 

 tion had been sadly neglected. J. Q. F. 



An Admikw. op Poooebs— Savannah, Oa., July 2§.—Mr. 

 Editor : I have read with great pleasure in your paper of July 

 4 a Idler from " Podgers," of San Francisco. I would like 

 to meet this gentleman and be able to "talk dog" with him, 

 I have owned dogB from childhood, and never saw anything 

 in print or heard any oue say before what so exactly met my 

 views of our four-legged friends as does " Podgers." I now 

 own a Gordon and a pointer, both trained by me, audi under- 

 stand them and they me in every word nud look. My dogs 

 icy broken, but for hard woTk and good results 1 do 

 not think many can Ileal, them. We often talk together, and 

 every night my pointer, Punch (who has his liberty at night, 

 being mOW ■-'• '' thtin Don, the setter, and not so much 

 given to roaming), comes to me on the piazza and we have a 

 little talk. Very few men know what they lose in not treat- 

 ing their dogs more like friends, and very often they are 

 h-her friends than humans. Thanking " Podgers '' for the 

 great pleasure 1 took in reading his letter, I remain yours 

 truly, G. L.'A. 



Always be Polite. — A brave, active, intelligent Terrier, 

 belonging to a lady, one day discovered a monkey belonging 

 to an intinerant organ-grinder seated upon a bank wnthin the 

 grounds, and at once made a dash for him. The monkey, 

 ;,Ki red in jacket and hat, awaited the onset, with 

 such undisturbed tranquillity, that the dog halted within a 

 few feet of him to reconnoitre. Both animals took a long 

 steady stare at each other, but the dog evidently was recover- 

 ing from his surprise, and about to make a spring for the in- 

 truder. At this critical j_ nurture the monkey, wbo had 

 remained perfectly quiet hitherto, raised his paw, and grace- 

 fully saluted by lifting his hat. The effect was magical : 

 the dog's head and tail dropped, and he sneaked off and 

 entered the house, refusing to leave it till be was satisfied 

 that 'his polite but mysterious guest had departed. Dis 

 whole demeanor showed plainly that he felt the monkey 

 wbb something "uncanny, " and not to be meddled with. —

FACETING NEWS. 



Bkooeja'n Yacht Club. — At a special mealing of this club, 

 hold July 31, it was resolved to start on a cruise to the East- 

 ward August 88. The rendezvous is to be Glen Cove. Com- 

 modore Lester Wallack spoke on the necessity of the club 

 making a good display, and he hoped that all craft that could 

 get: away would join, while there was a probability of several 

 yachts enrolled 'in other clubs joining in the cruise if in- 

 vited. Authority to extend invitations was erauicd the com- 

 modore. The course laid out is to Black Hock, New Lon- 

 don, Greenport and New Bedford. 



Emi'ike Yacht Cum.— Four yachts entered for the match 

 of this club on the llarlem August I, and sailed for the Har- 

 lem River challenge cup. presented by Mr. Dowling. one of the 

 owners of Emma J). Course, from 104t.lt street," East River, 

 to stake-boat offl Ward's Island ,• thence to Eighty-ninth street 

 and return, Jour times around. Tide was ebb and the wind 

 fresh from the southward. It was a free wind up to the first 

 mark, which was rounded by Emma D. in the lead, Mary I). 

 second. Dowling & Ruth's boat was well handled by Ed. D. 

 Meat anus and his regular crew. Her only rival was Mary D., 

 Camel, built some twenty years ago by the famous 

 Archie Smith. On the second round Cora, up to this time 

 i . took third place, with Joe Egan astern. 

 The wind in the meantime had come out. puffy, accompanied 

 by squalls and rain. Ou the third round Mary D., when her 



winning were fair, was struck by a squall and put 



on her beam ends without further ado. Egan withdrew, and 

 the race finished by J'hnma D, winning in lb.; 58m. 45s., cor- 

 rected time, beating Cora D. 7m. 40s. The ' challenge cup 

 foes to Emma Lh, this being the second time she has won it. 

 f successful once more the' cup becomes her property, in ac- 

 cord with the deed of gift. 



Match Among the Small Fey. — Mr. J. M. Sawyer, of this 

 M ,;,, i:o'i unection with other yacht owners, has been making 

 arrangements for an open race for boats 23 to 20 feet in 

 length. Entries .$100 each, first boat to take the entrance 

 foes, second to save hers. Martin M. and Nellie were the 

 only entries made up to August 2, but others are expected. 

 Course to be same as that for New York Bay Regatta. 



Qcakek City "Yacht Club.— The ocean match of this 

 club was sailed off Cape May, Del., July 27. Course from 

 Denizot's Pier around lower buoy on Eph's Shoal, thence 

 around the upper buoy on same shoal, rounding these buoys 

 twice and return home, distance twenty miles. Entries ; La 

 Belle, Captain W- E. Reisky; Stella, Captain Chas. B. Magee; 

 M. S. Quay, Captain Thomas Klose; Phantom, Captain 

 Charles Seline; While Tying, Captain Taail Klotz. They all 

 crossed the line under plain sail, the two sloops of -the first- 

 claas having top-sails set. La Belle, Stella and Phantom 

 hoisted jib topsails on the run down to the buoy. The latter 

 was rounded by M. S. Quay first, Stella, La Bells, White 

 Wing and Phantom following. The latter two went off to the 

 northeast, having mistaken their sailing directions. On the 

 stretch between the two buoys La Belle overhauled the Quay, 

 and Stella brought up the rear. There occurred another dif- 

 ference of opinion at this point as to the true course, for 

 while the Quay went around the two buoys a second time, the 

 other two yachts resailed the whoje course. The Quay 

 finally changed her opinion, and followed the others around 

 the whole course a second time. On rounding the lower buoy 

 again, La Belle led, Quay second, and Stella third. On the 

 run homo Quay parted her topsail halliards and doused the 

 saiL La Belle crossed the line in lh. 57m. 30s., Stella lm. 

 32s. later, and Quay in 2h. 0m. 27s. Wliite Wing and Phan- 

 tom not timed. The match was sailed under the auspices of 

 the following gentlemen : Judges— General J. T. Owen and 

 Harry Jackson ; referees, Thomas Magee, G. P. Agar and A. 

 A. Hyneman ; starter, John Hockley, Jr. 



Bound fob the Laejts. — It has been mooted that several 

 yachts of the Brooklyn squadron will, after the termination 

 of their cruise, make for the lake region via St. Lawrence 

 River. Mr. W. II. Wood, a member of the Brooklyn club, 

 is now in Detroit trying to arrange a series of matches 

 with local yachts from Detroit to Cleveland, races to take 

 place in September. 



AMonsteb Safely Docked, —The beautiful Imuan Line 

 steamer, City of Clutter, was successfully docked on Wednes- 

 day last, in the large sectional dock foot of Rutgers street. 

 It was at first, doubted whether any dock in New York could 

 lift the big ship, but as it was absolutely necessary to replace her 

 broken propeller with a spare one borrowed from the Algeria, 

 the attempt had to be made. The City of Chester is the 

 longest ship of the Inman Line, with the exception of the 

 monster City of Berlin. She measures 475ft. over all, and 

 displaces, when light, 5,500 tons. The steamer was docked 

 "bows out," and her immense hull towers high above the 

 neighboring shipping, She has an extremely handsome 

 model, her bows being almost those of a yacht in fineness and 

 beauty. Her midship section is easy, with moderate "tum- 

 ble home," and her run is remarkably clear. She represents 

 a model in which there is a uuison of lines noticeable through- 

 out, the design to a greater degree than generally met with in 

 ordinary Atlantic steamships. Like all vessels of the Inman 

 Line, she is full ship-rigged, and is able under canvas as well 

 as under steam. She will be delayed only a day or two 

 by the docking, and will sail immediately for Liverpool in 

 command of Capt. Brooks. Messrs. Dale & Inman deserve 

 credit for the energetic manner in which they have had the 

 vessel fitted again for duty. 



The Plague ot British Yachtsmen. The inventive 

 Yankee is a veritable nuisance to staid John Bull across the 

 water. No sonnet has he lulled himseU into the belie! that he 

 has reached perfection, when up starts some pestiferous 

 Yankee, and beats him out of sight, inflicting a rude awaken- 

 ing upon his phlegmatic constitution. The latest, that has 

 turned up to plague him is the catamaran. A veritable Her- 

 reshoff double- huller sailing around the British fleet, at the 

 Royal London, ou or off the wind, or as Land and Water has it: 



• riie Yankee nondescript twin sailing boat was out trying 

 with, the yachts, and went along as if she had a Bteam engine 

 in her. She easily passed the racing boat on all points of sail- 

 ing; but such a craft has no pretensions to be Btyled a yacht - 

 she is a mere sailing machine." 



Atlantic Yaoht Club.— The annual cruise of the Atlan- 

 tic Yacht Club of Brooklyn, set down for Aug. 8, brought 

 together a fleet of eight yachts off Baylis Dock, opposite 

 Whitestono. on the evening of that day. The Triton, Com- 

 modore Thayer, is the flagship for the occasion, and Peerless 

 and Visum, with the sloops Orion, Dolphin, Imperia, Tntrepid 

 and Nomad., formed the fleet. Thistle, lately from Boston 

 also accompanied the squadron. In company they made sail 

 for Glen Cove with a leading wind. Thistle, famous in Bos- 

 ton waters, but recently outmatched by the wind-iammer 

 Undine, showed the good stuff she has in her, in spite of her 

 defeat by the New l r ork built sloop. She showed her stem 

 to Orion, and as she is a weatherly craft likewise, there will 

 be some close work ahead for Commodore Cooper's able 

 Orion. The fleet made harbor with Triton leading, Thistle 

 second, Orion third, Peerless, Dolphin, Intrepid, Imperia., 

 Nomad and Vision in the order named. A large accession to 

 the fleet will be made at an early day, as the craft now cruis- 

 ing fall in with the flag-officer's command. Lizzie L., Alma, 

 Aleta, Undine and others are axpected to join, and the fleet will 

 probably number twenty sail by the time Greenport is reached. 

 There the open regatta, already announced in our columns, 

 will bring together a very laige fleet of cabin yachts, and a 

 spirited match is expected. On Sunday divine service was 

 held aboard the flagship, the Rev. Dr. W. H. Thompson, 

 chaplain of the club, officiating. New Haven, New Loudon 

 and Greenport is the order of the cruie as far as settled yet. 

 At the latter port further instructions will be issued to the 

 captains. The cruise has commenced under the most favor- 

 able auspices, and bids fair to maintain the high reputation 

 this club has acquired for the zeal and drive its" members put 

 into the sport, and for the Corinthian character of the yacht 

 owners sailing under the while and red. 



Bbveelt Yaoht Club.— The forty-first regatta of this club 

 will be held off Couit, Mass., August 16. Open to all yachts 

 under 35ft. on water line. Only one class. Prizes in money. 

 Club time-allowance. Start flying. No restriction in regard 

 to sails. Two meu allowed for 13fi. and under, three men for 

 13ft. to 17ft., four for 17ft. to 21ft,, five for 21ft. to 26ft., six 

 for 26ft. to 30ft., over 30ft., seven men. No trimming by dead 

 weights allowed. These last two rules accord so entirely with 

 our own views concerning the proper limitations to be set 

 upon crews and the abolition of sand-bags that we are glad to. 

 notice the strict enforcement of these rules by the Beverly Yacht 

 Club, and only wish that tho matches among open boats 

 in metropolitan waters could be carried on in the same sports- 

 manlike spirit. Entries must he made by August 15 to Mr. 

 John T. Coolidge, Cotuitport, Mass. Regatta Committee- 

 Messrs. G. P . Gardner, J. G. Minot, J. T. Coolidge, G. P 

 Uphani, Jr., and W. Lloyd Jeffries. Judges— J. T. Coolidge, 

 A. L. Lowell, F. C. Lowell and G. Crocker. For the forty- 

 second regatta of the same club, to be held the day following, 

 there will be two classes, yachts over 17ft. and under 30ft., 

 and yachts of 17ft. and under. Regatta Committee same as 

 before. Judges— G. C. Lowell, G. "P. Gardner and J. T. 

 Coolidge. The yacht Elsie, B. Y. G, will serve as judges' 

 boat for the occasion. 



Bobstat Falls.— There seems to be considerable trouble 

 among English cutters with parting their hobstay falls. Have 

 they never tried reeving off wire ? The Muriel has a flat- 

 cheek block of iron at the end of her bobstay-rod, a single 

 block at the bowsprit end, and a pliable wire rope rove 

 through, the standing part, being secured to the block at bow- 

 sprit end, then rove down through the lower block, back 

 through the upper one and inboard to the winch. 



Sale or the Sloop Anna. — Mr. Thomas Manning, yacht 

 broker, 53 Beaver street, has sold to Boston parties the C. B. 

 cabin sloop yacht Anna, 43ft. 6in. over all, built by Kirby in 

 1869. While flying the Atlantic Yacht Club burgee she won 

 seven regattas and has never been beaten. She will be added 

 to the fleet of the Eastern Yacht Club, and as soon as she 

 reaches Boston will go on a cruise with the Wayward, which 

 has been chartered for the season. Mr. Manning has been 

 appointed honorary agent of the Royal Canadian Y T acht Club. 

 Challenge to Jib and Mainsails. — Mr. Taylor, of Jersey 

 City, will match the Addie Taylor against any 22ft. boat for 

 $250, or will take part in any sweepstake race for $100 

 entrance fees. 



Lono Cruise. — The yacht Okanesta., of Cleveland, O., ar- 

 rived at Charleston, S. O., July 31, via the Gulf of Florida. 



OAR AND PADDLE. 



Return of the Shob-wae-oae-mettes. — The Monroe crew 

 returned from their visit to Henley, England, in the steamer 

 Utopia of the Anchor Line. They arrived in New York, July 

 31, and were met by delegates from the Triton and Eureka 

 clubB of Newark, who invited them to become their guests 

 and be present at the coming regatta of the N. A. A. 0. It 

 is not probable that the invitation will be accepted, as the 

 members of the crew desire to remain at homo a while, and 

 the distance from Michigan to Newark is too great. They 

 will attend the coming regatta of the Northwestern Associa- 

 tion however. Concerning their visit to Henley, they say 

 that, though well treated by the townspeople, they did not 

 receive that attention or courtesy which was their due, and 

 which would have been extended to English crews visiting 

 ub. But for the sickness of Mr. J. Nadeau, they feel confi- 

 dent they would have won. Mr. Lee, who returned in the 

 same steamer, was given to understand by Mr. Brickwood, of 

 London, that he could enter for the champion race from Put- 

 ney to Mortlake, and even went so far as to send his boat to 

 the club-house of the London Rowing Club, and was only then 

 informed that it had been decided not to allow visitors to enter. 

 He repudiates the idea of tne London press that he was used 

 up, and says, very truly, that it is ridiculous to suppose he 

 could not pull one or two strokes mora when leading Moss, 

 but that he had been distinctly instructed to stop at the 

 stump, and when he did so he was under the conviction that 

 he had won the race. Moreover, when he passed the slump 

 the flag was dropped. No explanation was given him of this 

 doubtful proceeding. Moss himself considered Lee the win- 

 ner, and Mr. Play ford assured the American that he had an 

 easy thing of it and was a sure winner. Altogether, the ac- 

 ijun of the judges at Henley betokens either a sad amount of 

 indiscretion and incapacity, or something much less excusable. 



Hanlon-Ross Raoe. — After five postponements Hanlon 

 finally met Ross at St. John, N. B., July 31, and the race ter- 

 minated in an unsatisfactory manner. The water was smooth, 

 and everything favorable to the match. In the morning 

 Robs objected to row on account of the water not suiting
