buntjns rifle for the variouB parte of the United States. I have 

 not alluded to moose trantrng in Maine, Imowing notliiDg pcraon. 

 ally about it. Bat for the moose, being an inhabitant of tho woods, 

 I should think the rifle deacribed in the first class would be suita- 

 ble. 



I will not enter Into the oomparatiye merits oi: the numerouB 

 lireecU-londiuK rifleH made in this country. Many of them arc 

 hutitniff TiiluHUJtTflyllirough courtesy, being iiothinB but a uiili- 

 Utj vitle iTith tiuf sights put on it ; that in, a rille made to shoot at 

 hnnit'DEc- dJstanccB, which are not needed In huntmg. and svhieh 

 caiTy I'hargba giving " low angles of arrival" at the distance of 

 half of a mile, but have not tho flat trajectory at short ranges bo 

 much needed in the hmiting rifle. 



The breech action should be Btroug, simple and pafe. The ear- 

 Iridgo shell should be easily ejected. The -til/, ' '' ' 

 preferable to tbt- l-ol tJe-almppd tiicll. The J i . 



I cousider better lliaii the patched ball. I li

 hammer much the safest. 1 also like the hammer diiectlr m rear 

 of the breech, histead of on the side of the rifle, which when fall- 

 ing knocks the breech down and to the left, throwing the muzzle 

 up and to the right, more or less according to how firmly the rifle 

 is held when shooting off-hand. 



Well, I liave "said my say," and though many much better 

 isportBmen than niysolf may differ from me, yd: the foregoing if 

 the result of my experience and what I have noticed in the exjiE- 

 rience of others ; and there's hardly a thing men differ eo much in 

 aa the proper weight, caUbro and charge of rifles) and guns.

 as a dispatch vessel till the close of the war, and then attached to 

 theTJ. S. Naval Academy, at .UinapoUs, Md., as a practice schooner 

 for the midshipmen. Sh« was bought at auction in 1874 by General

our waters. . ^ , . 



•' We are elad to find that English yachtsmen are again takmg 

 an interest in the cup won at Cowes by the America in 1851. We 

 have been asked several times of late concerning the conditions 

 under which a challenge has to be made, and we feel pretty Hiu:e 

 if it were made certain that two or three single-handed matehes 

 with tho same vessel could be saUod for the cup that some British 

 yachtsman would make a challenge. As the majority of the 

 'present o-miers who iu-e devoted to yacht racing can hardly be ac- 

 quainted with the history of the 'America Gup,' we recapilTilate 

 the chief incidents iu connection therewith. 



•' The .\merica was built in 1849 from designs by George Steers, 

 and launched in 1850. She was, we believe, beaten by the Mai-ia 

 sloop and in 1851 (as previously contemplated) sailed from New 

 York to Havre under snug canvas in July ; she here shipped her 

 racing spars and bent her big Bads, and cleared for Cowes, where 

 she arrived just before the B. Y. S. regatta. On the day of her 

 arrival she had a spm-t with the LaA-rock cutter, and soaked out to 

 ivmdward of that craft so fast, head reaching aU the time too, 

 that those who saw it were aghast. The owners of the America 

 threw dovm a challenge to sad any yacht a match for a sum of 

 from one thousand to ten thousand guineas : but the performance 

 of -teierica on the moment of her arrival had quite convinced the 

 Cow-es yachtsmen that we had nothing that could beat her in a 

 fan- stand-up fight in a good breeze, and so the challenge remained 

 unaccepted until August 17. Our yachtsmen were taunted with 

 aupineuess on all sides, and eventually Mr. G. Stephenson, tvith. 

 more corn-age than discretion, offered to sail his little schooner 

 Titania of 100 tons against the stranger. Meanwhile the regatta, 

 of the Roval Yacht Squadron took place, and on August 22 was a 

 match for" all rigs round the Isle of Wight for a cup presented by 

 the members of the K. Y. S. Time allowance was waived in order 

 to induce the America to en ter, and at ten o'clock on the morning 

 of the 22d a fleet of fifteen besides America started for tho cup. 

 These included Arrow, cutter, 84; Yolante, cutter, 60; Alarm, 

 cutter, 193 ; Freak, cutter, 60 ; Aurora, cutter, 47, and several 

 schooners, all more or less on the cod's head and mackerel's tail 

 principle. There was a light westerly wind, and running from 

 Cowes to the east end of the island the cutters had the best of it. 

 Here the America hauled up for the Whitecliff, but the others 

 kept .away to clear the Nab. This gave the America a conBiderablo 

 lead, but" the cutters worked up to her again, and the Wildfire, not 

 in the match, kept on her weather. The wind was light, the tide 

 strong, and, working along under shore, Ai-row got grormd ; the 

 Alarm and some of the schooners went to her aid, and perhapa 

 were glad of the excuse for retiring from the contest. Volaiito 

 and Freak were close up to the America off St. Lawrence, ^\ heii 

 they fouled in cross tacking, Yolante losing her bowsprit. From 

 this time there was more wind, and making longer boards off, iu 

 spite of the lee-going tide, the America overhauled Wild,'ire off 

 Freshwater. She passed through the Needles seven or eight miles 

 ahead of the nearest of the other contestants, but the wind falling 

 light she did not reach Cowes tUl S;35, and Aurora 8:,55. ll will bo 

 seen that solar as this match went it was an extremely unsatis- 

 factory contest ; nevertheless the America made such a displa%- 

 whenthere was any wind that every one who saw her was convinced 

 that the Enghshvachts had not a ghost of a chance against her. 

 On .\ug. 28, in a tineN. W. breeze, the match against Titania was 

 sailed twenty miles to leeward of the Nab, with a dead beat back. 

 Piunning twenty miles before the wind the America only beat 

 Titania five muiutes, but thrashing back the Yankee had to"makc 

 less than two boards to the other's three, and finally arrived lifty- 

 two minutes before her. These were rather mglorisus contests ; 

 but they made the America's fame, and not another yacht owner 

 could be found who would venture to match his vessel against her. 

 In the same month she was sold to the late Lord De blacquiere, 

 who cruised to the Mediterranean in her. She encountered a ter- 

 rific gale iu February off Malta, and went through it so well that 

 all the objectors to the long clean bow were silenced for ever. 



'-On J lb. 23, 1852, Americacompeted in tho regatta of the Royal 

 Yictona VaVht Club at liyde, and among the other five competitorb' 

 were jVi-row and Mosquito, .-irrow had been lengthened, and her 

 speed was thereby much improved ; still, so far as this match was 

 concerned, there was Uttlc to test the vachts, as tho wind -n-an 

 paltry. The course was round the Isle of-Wight, the piiiie a. 

 Queen's cup, and the yachts got back to Kyde at seven o'clock, 

 nearly abeam — Ai-row, 6.59.110 ; Mosquito, B,59.31 ; and .America, 

 7.1.20. Mosquito should have won but was disqualified for fouling 

 Ai-row. LordDc Blaoquiere had thiown out achalleage to sailany 

 s.'i .iiiiii i.'ib for £1,000, bnt no match could bo an-aiiged, al- 

 ii. I . : . .-ulesborough wil:h Mosquito, and Mr. Weld with 

 \!;, , . . e.^fui-med into a schooner J, were anxious for a fion- 

 ti ■. ',' . . r, on Oct. 12. .\merica waa i 

 Swedish schooner Sverigo for £100. The e- i 

 to leew-ard of the Nab light-ship, for the sal;. 

 in a moderate breeze the Swede ran the .-Vii. 

 the leeward mark vessel. The Swede here 

 a\vay the jaws of her main gaff on rounding, s 

 cont'd not afterward be got to stand properly. The American 

 weathered on her, and eventually arrived at the goal at eight 

 o'clock. lirst by twenty-six minutes ; but Sverige at last lost twenty 

 minutes or so by nver-rcaehing. 



" 'The America sailed ao matches iu 1853, and iu 1854 she -wftS 

 httidedup iu ill-. Pitcher s yard, Northfleet, near Gravesend, for 

 repairs ; but she was so extensively, seized by di-y rot that repair- 

 ing seemed out of the question. In the end Lojd De Blacqniere
