RfaJnesdaji morning was cold and cloudy, but the birds were 

 moie abundant than on the previous days, and then the dogs were 

 superior in paint of training ; the consequence was they did good. 

 work aiid afforded better apoit than bad been had the first two 

 days. The first dogs put down were Erin and Coin to finish their 

 scores commenced the day before. Erin rnado another flush and 

 was taken up. Coin made bis 5 points, and wasfollowed by Paris, 

 Maida relieving Erin. Neither of these did anjtbing, and were 

 soon called up, and Gladsione and Breckenridge were cast off. 

 Gladstone disappointed bis many admirers by making two flushes 

 after having scored I hree points. Breckenridge was taken up and 

 Bob put down, and Bow relieved Gladstone. Bow, after making 

 four pc ujts. scored a flash and was taken up. Ho is a splendid 

 dog and will no doubt make a great name for himself. Nicholson's 

 Jet relieved Bow aud made his five points ; bis many friends are 

 sanguine that bu v, ill v.in the race. Dan followed Jet, and Clip 

 relieved Bob. They wore shortly called up, and Lincoln, worked 

 by J. H. Dew, and Borneo were let go. Lincoln was a great 

 favorite with many, but ho disappointed his friends. Borneo made 

 his five points and was followed by Nellie, Joo Jr. , replacing Lin- 

 coln. Joe- Jr. made his five points in a very short time, having 

 been fortunate in finding birds. He is a fine dog, very fast and 

 stylish : the knowing ones think him the winner. Buck Jr., an- 

 other favorite, was called up, but too late to do anything. 



Dr. Rowe was thrown from the mule he was riding and severely 

 shaken ; he was uneoutcious for a few minutes, but fortunately 

 escaped any serious injury.

Tni Dtjpokt Brace Stakes were the next on the programme, 

 and for which there were 11 entries. Mr. M. C. Campbell's Joe Jr. 

 and Buck Jr. were the first brace down, and were great favoriteB, 

 but were soon taken up as thev both scored a flush aud Buck Jr. a 

 false point. L. II. Smith's Paris and Clip came next. They 

 started badly with two liuHh"a, aud were taken up for the time 

 being. Adams' Drake and Dash IH were now called ; they did 

 Borne excellent work and soou scored their five points. Bryson 

 and Den's Gladstone and Lincoln followed, and did some beautiful 

 work. They soon mado three points, and seemed the likely win- 

 ners, but Gladstone made a flush. Jet and Bolle then came upon 

 the field and did some pretty work, but Belle made a flush and the 

 brace were taken up. Clip and Paris were again put down aud 

 made their five points. This closed the Brace Stakes, and the 

 judges awarded Adorns' Drake and Dash III the first prize ; Bry- 

 Bon and Dew's Lincoln and Gladstone, 2d prize ; and L. H 

 Smith's Paris and Clip, 3d prize.

CONDITIONING DOGS. 



WINTEK3ET, la., DOC. 1, 1S7S. 

 BMTOR FOKBST AND Stkkam : 



In your Issue of Nov. 14 1 liuil quite a long article on " Conditioning 

 Dogs." Reading it over 1 gat the impression ttiat your dogs In the 

 East were "qnittera," and had to be •' fitted" before they could hunt 

 even a whole day. Now, as I think I have a prodigy In the way of en- 

 dnraucc, 1 will give yon a description of his " stay Ing " qualities, In 



the flrat place he 1b a small dog, a oroas between a pointer and cooker 

 spaniel, liver color, and weighs jmr, thirl L aunch, and 



worka with head and tall very high, and rnus remarkably swlrt i 

 ranging close or far oft as you may wish. I have often sst on the 

 fence and had him hunt a forty-acre Held thoroughly, and almost as 

 quickly as I could direct him from one quarter to another, lie will 

 run at bl8 lightning gait from early morn until late at night without 

 the least appearance ot fatigue. I have never Known him t.) lie down 

 or even Bit down while I held a gun In my baud, hut always looking 

 into my face with 3 nervous wag of the tall, ready to be off with my 

 nrst motion. 



I go nut very frequently, generally from eight to twelve miles, and 

 the dog always goes afoot, and, after hunting all day he will, in coming 

 home, hunt all the fields along the road ahead of me ; and as I have ai 



excellent roadster and light buggy, I n 

 to ten miles per hour, so you can ece dial 

 would carry htm always ahead, while the 

 ven keep up. I have hunted him wlu 

 early and late, and have the first time yet t 

 worried. I have bunted him with fine bred polni 

 seen or heard of one that would conipan 



drive, less tha 

 i mean ,-. 



igsarehlghi;

endurance. I never knew a dog of just his breeding hefore, and as >' 

 haa an excellent " none," perfectly staunch (I have had him Etand a f ul 

 half hour on trial), a beautiful worker, and, by the way, unexcelled for 

 duck Bhootlng, as well as for hunting quail, why wonldn'c it be to the 

 advantage of those wanting doga for all purposes to make tiiia cross in 

 breeding 7 He has the best disposition of any dog I ever knew, and litsl 

 fiends (they are every one in town) call him very handsome. T'ae clog 

 came from Algona, this State, owned by the landlord of the hotel at 

 that place, where he has often been hunted against as many as six dogs 

 from the East, always coming home fresh aud afo_;. wnile the others 

 had to be taken la the wagon. Possibly some of yonr readerBhave 

 heard of him, or It ts not altogether improbable that Borne of them have 

 hunted with him, as the above-mentioned place 18 n I g

THE TREASURY REGULATIONS.— No. 2. 



THE question of calling upon Congaess during the present 

 session to so modify existing laws and regulati 

 cerniDg yachts' official papers, as to carry out the Intentions of 

 the original framcre, has been taken up in earnest by the Sca- 

 wanhaka Yacht Club, an organization which has taken the 

 lead of the older clubs in this as in many other maLters affect- 

 ing the welfare of the fraternity and the progress of the sport. 

 The points made by the Flag Officers' Committee, appointed 

 a short time ago for the purpose, cover the grounds of com- 

 plaint in as thorough a manner as can be wished, and it there- 

 fore only remains for us to call the attention of all yacht 

 clubs to the changes proposed, SO that they may aid in their 

 passage through Congress in atlising their signatures to Che 

 memorial about to be presented them by the committee of the 

 Seawanliaka Club. The memorial in question seeks relief in 

 the regular manner, first: from the necessity of having bail 

 ing ports and names on the counter in flaming letters of cer 

 tain sizes. Second : The extension of licenses to all yachts 

 of 5 tons and over, instead of limiting the privileges and im- 

 munities of such licenses to vessels of over 20 tons as at prea 

 ent; and, third : A repeal of the presen reguthstiona reJrquSai 

 the annual renewal of licenses and tho rami: 

 provision to a renewal, whenever a yacht changes hands, us 

 the oath of an owner once affixed to the paper is binding for 

 all time and not for one year only. 



The memorial covers the above much needed reforms iu the 

 acts of Congress and the Treasury Regulations 

 thereon, and we have little doubt that the desired relief will 

 bepvomptly granted by our wise ]■; Represent 



head of the Treasury Department, who is fully alive to 

 benefits to be realized by the couutry from a libers I 

 mehtof a sport like yachting, which does so nine 1 

 a taste for the sea and all the nobler and mare manly qualities 

 of its devotees. Prompt co-operation of oilier clubs aud a 

 little necessary "coaching" of the petition will see the next 

 season upon with the laws relating to yachts' paper? in such 

 shape that they will serve to encourage the sport as intended, 

 aud not to hamper it. 



YACHTING HEWS. 



Coltjmbia Yacht Cltjb.— The following officers 

 elected for 1879 : Commodore, Robt. McWhinney, of the 

 Journeyman ; Vice-Corn., Abner B. Inglee; Sec, John Prick; 

 Treas., Joseph A Weaver; Meas., W- J. Greacen ; Steward, 

 Pb. Houseman j Trustees, John Flick, chairman ; Col. A. 

 H. Rogers, Dr. J. C. Perrine, Louis P. Wiegman and Jos. A. 

 Weaver. Last Bummer this club bold one of the best sailed 

 and most spirited regattas of the season. We learn with 

 pleasure that the outlook for the future is extremely favorable 

 and that the fleet of the club will be materially increased. 

 The present Commodore has held office for a number of terms, 

 and is deservedly popular among the members as a Corinthian 

 sailor. 



CuiOAGO Yacht Cure.— Officers for the season have been 

 elected as under T M. Bradley, Com.; B. H. Fleming, 

 Vice-Corn.; J. Triges, Hear- Com.; C. E. Erenier, 

 W. 8. Brawley, Treas.; J. Q. Fergus, Measurer; Executive 

 Committee, W. E. Barnum and J. Q. FergtiE ; Regatta Com. 

 mittee, T. Thompson, G. E. Wier, F. B. H. Bonter, W. D. 

 Payne and John A. Farrow. 



Doeouestbe Tacht Cltjb.— The new club bona 

 at Commercial Point. Harrison Square, is nearly ready for 

 occupancy. The building measures 40 by 20 feet, is two 

 stories high and commands a fine view of the harbor. 



Seawakhaka Yacht Cltjb.— We have referred in out- 

 leader to the praiseworthy promptness with which the Sea- 

 wanhalfa Yacht Club has made a move tow; 

 tion of yachts' papers and other matters iu conned i"u with 

 the regulations established by the Treasury Department. 

 The committee of flag-officers having the drawing up of the 

 petition in charge reported at the last regular quarterly meet- 

 ing substantially as above and reeeived the thanks of the 

 club for their labor. The committee on "over all dimen- 

 sions " reported in favor of taking length measurement from 

 a point perpendicular to the forward end of the load-line at 

 the upper end of the planksheer to the after side Of the 

 planksheer at the middle of the stern. In other words, over- 



hang forward, due to a raking stem, will no longer be 

 counter aft will be included as 

 heretofore in obtaining the length over alias one of the factors 

 of mean length. On motion of Yice-Commodore Cromwell it 

 was resolved to admit spinnakers in the sailing regulations as 

 a racing sail. This we presume will not in any vi a 

 with the. custom of limiting yachts to ordinary fore-and-aft 

 sail during Corinthian matches, for, upon motion of Mr. 

 Uoon jibs were prohibited in such races in the 

 future. A series of interesting lectures for the coming season 

 was also provided for, and a revision ot the club book was 

 ordered. 



New Yachts.— Among the Corinthians quite a large de- 

 e for small, able cruisers, and a cumber are already 

 - all or these a disposition to arrive d 



i?r can be noticed. 

 Depth, keels aud ballast are much more conspicuous by their 

 than by their absence as in former practice. Es- 

 pecially do these remarks apply to the Eastern community, 

 which is quicker to appreciate the necessities demanded by 

 rqugh watec thai) yachtsmen about New York, to whom the 

 placid Sound offers strong inducements to adhere to the racing 

 model with meagre cruising qualifications. Lawley & Son, of 

 South Boston, have in hand a couple of interesting and promis- 

 ing schooners for members of the Boston Yacht Club. One 

 of them will be 40ft. over all, 40 on water-line, 14ft. Bin. beam 

 and 6ft. 6in. draft of water. The second one is smaller and 

 will be a very roomy craft, judging from her dimensions, 

 though we think it an open question whether she might not 

 have profited had some of her bulk been disposed in length 

 nnd not in excessive beam. But as she is to satl under lengtfl 

 measurement, the shoo pinches in tl.at direction, and her de- 

 signer finds himself compelled to put his power in beam. We 

 trust that a reformation in tbia crippling system of allowance 

 will soon be in order, so tint fine, easy models will not be 

 taxed for their superior design as thev are under length 

 measurement. This schooner is to be 36ft. over all, 30 on 

 water-line, 18ft. Gin. beam and 6ft. draft. Both will be keel 

 vessels, and carry something likea ton andahalf iron shoe. At 

 Tslep, L. I., Alonzo Smith basin frame a wholesome little 

 sloop for Mr. John J. Prague, of this city. She is 8Mt. Bin. 

 iu keel, 37ft. ewer all, 14ft. Gin. beam, and 5ft. ljin. deep, 

 eight with a hat on below her trunk. John 

 the foot of Court street, Brooklyn, has in hand a 

 new racing sloop for Dr. Johnson, of the Atlantic \'. C. She 

 will be about 50ft. long. Mr- Dion Boucicault is said to have 

 signed a contract with Ward & Stanton, of Newburg, N, Y., 

 for a new steam yacht, 126ft. on water line. 26ft. beam, and 

 l:*ift hold. The' Josephine, formerly of the New York Y. O. , 

 lias been sold as a fruiter, and the sloop Addie V. has goue 

 into Boston hands. We understand that Mr. Iselin is to have 

 a cutter afloat early next spring. Builders have had numerous 

 nd have furnished estimates for many craft, rang- 

 ing mostly from 30ft. to 50ft,, so that we look for a material 

 increase in the number of Corinthian cruisers with the open- 

 ing of the season. 



For the Common Good.— Admiral Paris, of the French 

 navy, is engaged upon the publication of an interesting series 

 of plans illustrating mainly those classes of vessels which are 

 disappearing before tho encroachments of steam. Hhould any 

 of our readers be pofl 

 once typical of cei 

 pleased b i 



published in single r 

 that purpose 

 be found will be 

 represented in the 



I iS6 in Fbanok.— Our enterprising contemporary, 

 •.vlu'ch is to French yachtsmen wbat the Forest 

 •i is to American, published recently the lines and 

 sail plan of a roomy little boar, of handsome model, one likely 

 to suit those in search of :: "big little boat." She is 29ft. Sin. 

 on deck, no counter; 29ft. water line; beam, 8ff. 2jin . 

 draught forward 1ft. lOin.; aft, 3ft Din.; depth amidships, 

 4ft. Ij-ie.; freeboard forward, 3ft. Tin.; ai't, 2ft. ■iMn,; ballast, 

 G.050 lbs , of which 2.000 is iron on 1 1 I rig, main- 



sail 346 sq. ft, hoist 20ft.; "foresail,' 110 tq. ft.; jib, 174sq. 

 : or dandy, 140 sq. ft.; bowsprit outboard, 13ft. 

 iiu. ; centre of Bail, 4jin. abaft that of the longtitndinal 

 Bection. This litll imtnm, has given a good 



account of herself in matches with lichen boats, and having 

 only moderate dead rise, with ample freeboard, v. 

 good height in cabin. She would be improved iu appearance 

 If a couider were added, and by placing the mizzf 

 aft, could be given more sail. With some few mot 

 to suit our fashions, she would make an excellent ' 

 CI Uiser, and could be driven with 25 per cent, less canvas than 

 an excessively broad vessel Of the same length, and that with- 

 out sacrificing any useful room below. With low ballast and 

 small canvas and high freeboard, she would probably heel no 

 more than the broad centre-boauler.

make the following corrections and additions ! Clara B, won 



one 5th prize, Kestrel and Lark one 2d, Lena and Leonora 



each two 2d prizes, and Kathleen, La Belle, Laurel and Lenoir

 boata in all iinds of weather, I am able to form a pretty correct 

 opinion of their merits.
