SINGLE GUN STARTS.— The matchei 

 30, will mark an event, worth special re, 

 to a single gun. All time taken from gun fire, No period of ten 

 minutes to wake up. We predict that tho life, bustle, exciting inter- - 

 est and display of smart Balloring the simultaneous st.ua .-. di pr., ■ ■!■■•■. 

 is certain to become popular in Boston, where the uuiner. 

 tuiau tars know a bit ot quick-witted seamanship when t i.es see it and 

 appreciate it, too. "Tunc from gun tire" is tne start of the smart 

 yachtsman and tho start for the public to witness. The hired louts 

 m Now York waters do not fancy live business. Too much work for 

 the pay. But New York has condescended to follow Boston in the 

 matter of keels, outside weights" and depth, and no doubt will quietly 

 accept the Boston get-away too, good for the Dorchester. The regatta 

 committee consists of the following well-kuowii yachtsmen, who leuow 

 their business from hawspipe up: C. 11. Whiting, F. E. Peabody, E. 

 B. Clark, G. H. L. Sharp, and L. M. Clark. Bane: There goes the 

 gun; and see the break; all hands will make for the line, and watch 

 how closesome fellows have hit off the time to a nicety, nnd how the lot 

 gets over in a bunch I No hack acting figuring to do, but simply apply 

 the allowance known to be due from one to another at any point of 

 the course, and you have the winner sure. It will be simply placing the 

 yachts during the race, and the whole business becomes mote intel- 

 ligible to the onlooklng crowd, from whom fresh blood is to be re- 

 cruited in the future. 



SAN FRANCISCO YACHTING. -At the opening cruise over 5lK> 

 guests assemlil it a I he cat. ii,vi:-:e at raa'.v Saneeiico to see I he fleet 

 off for the cruise to Vallejo. Light and variable winds wai

 the schooner Aggie will follow the fashion and add a .. i a I , 1 

 Over twenty yachts beat down Pablo Bay iu a bunch and t:. n , 

 season yet known to San Francisco is expected. In fact, vachting is 

 growing to he, par excellence, the sporl of the city, and 'this is due 

 entirely to the exertions of the officers and individual members of the 

 S. F. Y. C. Dr. Merritt's large Oilfc. schooner Caseo is to have three 

 tons more lead in tho keel. 



AI.IUNY YACHT CLUB.— Editor Forest and Stream: The follow-

 ing condition. "Wo have seventy -live members who possess some 

 good and fast boats— tho Cynthia, Artful Dodger. Coquette, JEh' >i, 

 Breeze, etc. We own our club bouse, built last year, situated on the 

 Greenbush side of the river, opposite the city", and the latch-string 

 always hangs on the outside for any visitors who may pay a visit to 

 the capital city.— G. 



5TA.WLS.— A. correspondent •writes from Newport: "As soon as my 

 sloop is sold, 1 propose building a larger yawl, as 1 am convinced 

 by your able articles that it is the proper rig for it craft for single- 

 handed cruising. I can handle a larger boat u yawl-rigged and gain 

 not only comfort, bin a greater degree of speed, with ao more tttfn- 

 culty in handling than in: pres, a " [; a, id as I always 



keep afloat rather late in the season, having seen snow on deck more 

 than ouco, 1 feel sure the advantages of reducing sail in tho yawl will 

 be just tho thing." 



a. DIFFERENT TUNE,— A glance a* the Sunday papers tells how 

 the wind is blowing. When a yacht is advertised tor sale, particular 

 stress is laid upon ber being a keel, having outside ballast and being 

 a deep, safe boat. The very points which a few years ago woidd have 

 been Kept, dark in deference to popular prejudices, are now held forth 

 as chief recommendations to facilitate a sale. Fortius revulsion in 

 feelings Forest and Steeaii may claim the credit. 



PERIWINKLE.— A strange craft made her Appearance in these 

 waters, and brought, up oil' West New Brighton in ihe kills last Sun- 

 day. She is a yacht modeled and rigged after the Block Island boat 

 style andhails from New Bedford. Sue is bound on a long cruise for 

 the summer. About 38ft. long, witb over lift, height in cabin, and 

 drawing6ft. of water. Rigged as a double eat, one mast iu the eves

HULL YACHT CLUB.— At last meeting twenty -niue new members

 veniences and forward bulkhead, the intention being to cruise to 

 Mount Desert, possibly with a lady on board,
