FOREST AND STREAM. 



Yachting Notes. Continued from Page 194. 



Thb Eastern Yacht Olub, Boston, takes the lead In 

 Boston waters, and it is now getting in trim for a 

 June regatta, and 1» is not unlikely it will indulge In 

 a second one in September or October. With a full 

 muster of all its craft, would be some of the leading 

 yachts in the country— such, for instance, aa Lester 

 ■Wallnck's Columbia, Mr. Bennett's Dauntless, Com- 

 modore Kingsland's Alarm and Mr. Loubat's En- 

 ehantrcBs. Since the close of last season there hare 

 been several changes of ownership. The Bohnoners 

 Ariel, Flirt, Jnlia and Juniata have been withdrawn; 

 the Lydlft has been changed to the Sylph ; George 

 Peabody Russell has bought the Ermongarda, which 

 was built originally as a steamer by Poillon, of New 

 Tort; C. B. Whlttier has bought the Magic, and 

 Charles H. Joy has come into possession of the 

 schooner Bebecca. The sloops' Gauntlet, Iris and 

 Princess have been withdrawn; W. C. Cabot, 

 formerly owner of the Juniata, has bought the cele- 

 brated centre-board sloop Madcap of New York ; 

 David Sears has entered the Siren, and D. Brooks 

 the Narragansett. The books of the club show the 

 names of HS3 members, 29 schooners, 12 sloops and U 

 Bteamers. 



The Boston Yacht Club, hesldeg its annual cruise, 

 will have a regatta in July or August. Of the old 

 boats in the organization the schooners Elsie, Juni- 

 ata and Enigma, and the sloops Oracle, Clitheroe, 

 Leda, Pert and Ruby have been withdrawn. The 

 Shadow has been sold by Tucker Oeland to John 

 Bryant, tint will remain in the club. Besides the 

 regular regatta there will be several races among 

 the individual members. 



THK SDBTrRBAN CDUBS. 



The Dorchester is probably the largest and most 

 flourishing club In this vicinity next to the two 

 already meulioned. The following members and 

 yachts have recently been admitted: General B. F. 

 Butler, sohooner America; Eben B. Phillips, 

 schooner Fearless ; George H. Tripp, sehooner 

 Betty ; Jntin M. Winslow, schooner Hermes ; John 

 Bryant, sloop Shadow ; H. E. Hibbard, Bloop Effle 

 Mary, and George Lee, sloop Pert. The club now 

 numbers ninety-four members. During the summer 

 there will be a long race to Long Island Sound. 



The Beverly Club, with ninety-six members and 

 Urty-four boats, against two-thirds as many a year 

 ago, will have two regattas in July and two in 

 August. 



The South Boston Cluhhas Increased to forty boats 

 and nearly 200 members. 



The CJuincy Club, uow only four years old, has 

 sixty members and forty yachts. 



The East Boston Club has largely Increased during 

 the year, and will make its displays on Decoration 

 Day, the 17th of June, Bunker Hill Day, and the 

 Fourth of July. 



Now Bedford has only Just turned itB attention to 

 yachting. The club just organized embraces some 

 of the wealthiest and most prominent men In the 

 city. 



The yacht owners In Nahant and Cohasset have 

 organized as the Nahansett Club, and are getting 

 ready for a lively season, as are also the members of 

 the Lynn Yacht Club. 



In Duxbury there Is a lively yacht club of only a 

 year's growth. It has sixty-five members and 

 twenty-four yachts, and several new craft will be 

 finished and launched before the Beason is over. 



The Portland (Maine) Club has increased since 

 last season from 15 110 to, and the number of yachts, 

 which includes two steamers, from fourteen to 

 twenty-five. The annual regatta will come off in 

 Casco Bay on the Fourth of July. 



It Is unite likely that some time during the season 

 there will be a grand ocean race at the Isle of Shoals 

 (off Portsmouth, X. H ), open to yachts from all 

 quarters. These occasions in the past have been 

 among the pleasantest in the annals of American 

 yachting. 



Charles Kinoblev's Love of Animals.— But to 

 epeak of his home without mentioning his love 

 of animals would he to leavs the piotare incom- 

 plete. His dog and his horse were his frends, 

 and they knew it, and understood his voice and 

 eye. He was a perfect horaman, and never lost 

 this temper with his horse, talking to and reason 

 ing with it if it shied or bolted, aa if it had been 

 a rational being, knowing that, from the fine 

 organization of the animal, a horse, like a child, 

 will get confused by panic fear, which is only 

 increased by punishment. His dog Dandy, a fine 

 Scotch terrier, was hia companion in all his 

 parish, walks, attended at the cottage lectures 

 andsohool lessons, and was his and the children's 

 friend for 18 years, He lies buried under the 

 great fir trees on the Rectory lawn, with this in- 

 scription on his gravestones, " Fideli Pideles," 

 and close by "Swoop," a magnificent black re- 

 triever, and "Victor," a favorite Teckel, given to 

 him by the Queen, with which he 6at up during 

 the two last suffering nights of the little orea- 

 ture's life. Cats, too, were a continual delight to 

 him; the stable had always its white cat, and the 

 house its black or tabby, and ho never tired of 

 watching their graceful movements. His love of 

 animals was strengthened by hia beUef in their 

 future state— a belief whioh he held in common 

 with John Wesley and other remarkable men. 

 On the lawn dwelt a family of "natter jackE,"(run- 

 ning toads,) who lived on from year to year in 

 the aame hole in the green bank, which the 

 scythe was never allowed to approach. He had 

 two little friends in a pair of Baud waapa, who 

 lived in a crack of the window in his dressing 

 room, one of which he had saved from drowning 

 in a hand- basin, taking it tenderly out into the 

 sunshine to dry ; and every Spring he would look 

 out eagerly for thorn ot their oluldreu, who came 



' out of, or returnod to the same orack. The little 

 fly-catcher, who bnilt his neat every vear under hia 

 bedroom window, waa a oonBtant joy to him. He 

 had also a favorite slow-worm in the churchyard, 

 which hia parishioners were warned not to kill, 

 from the mistaken idea prevalent in Everaley 

 that Blow-worme were poisonous. All these 

 tastes ho enoouraged in his children, teaching 

 them to love and handle gaatly, without disgust, 

 all living things, toada, frogs, beetles, aa works 

 and wonders from the hand of a living God. Hia 

 guests were surprised one morning at breakfast 

 when hia little girl ran up to the open window of 

 the dining-room, holding a long repulsive-look- 

 ing worm in her hand. "Oh! daddy, look at 

 this delightful worm." He had but one aversion 

 whioh he could never oomruer — to a spider, and 

 it was of himself he spoke in "Glaucua," after 

 saying "that evory one seems to have his anti- 

 pathio animal ; I know one bred from hia child- 

 hood to zoology by land and eea, and bold in as- 

 serting, and honest in feeling, that all without 

 exception is beautiful, who yet oannot, after 

 handling, and petting, and examining all day 

 long every uncouth and venomous beast, avoid a 

 paroxysm of horror at the sight of the common 

 houaespider!" Bat, after all, a bird, ho often 

 said, was to him the most wonderful of God'B 

 creations ; he watched for the arrival of the birds 

 of passage every spring with a strange longing, 

 and seemed lees restless after the swallow had 

 appeared at Eversley. Hia eyeB would fill with 

 tearB at each fresh arrival, and again eac'i Au- 

 tumn as he grieved over their departure. U<: 

 knew their every note, and was never tired of 

 watohing their character anb habits.— GJias.

 Birmingham, who had laid a considerable wager 

 that he walked 1,000 miles in twenty-eight days, 

 finished his Journey with great ease. It seemed 

 as if he had laid by for bete, for in the last two 

 days he had 106 miles to walk, but walked them 

 with so much ease to himself that, to ahow his 

 agility, he walked the last six miles within an 

 hour, though he had full six hours to do them in. 

 1765— In July a young woman went from Blen- 

 cogo, in Scotland, to within two milea of New- 

 castle in one day, which is about seventy-two

 he walked 50 milea in little more than nine hours 

 on the Bands at Weymouth. 1787— September 27, 

 Mr. FoBter Powell, clerk to an attorney in Lon- 

 don, walked from the Falataff Inn, at Canter- 

 bury, to London, and back (112 miles) in 24 

 hours. In 1783, July 15, he walked from Hyde 

 Park Corner to the 50 milestone at Wolverton 

 Hill on the Bath road, and back to Hyde Park 

 Corner in less than 22 hours. In 1790 he walked 

 from London to York and back (400 miles) in 5 

 days, 16 hours and 10 minutes, having bet that 

 he would do it in 5 days 18 hours. He afterward 

 did the same distance in leea than 5 days and 15 

 hours. 1756— June 17, a man, at 8 o'clock, went 

 from Biahopagate and walked to ColoheBter and 

 back to Bishopsgato by 8 o'clock the aame even- 

 ing, the distance was 102 miles, and 15 guineas 

 waa betted that ho did not do it in 15 hours.

 in 7 hours and 57 .oinutes. 1788— July 20, John
