Philadelphia, June 29, 1874. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
After the excitement of the regatta of the 17th and 18th, 
things along our river front seem very dull. However, 
last week, found the river well dotted with single scullers, 
getting ready for the local regatta, which was set down for 
next Saturday, July 4th. 
Three or four four-oared shells make their regular trips, 
and one of them, the Quaker City, was doing some right 
pretty work. 
On Saturday however, the Naval Board held a. special 
meeting, and at that late date saw the error of their ways, 
and altered the date at which we may contend for the Navy 
flags to September 26tli. 
Now the boys can row to the Falls for their customary 
Fourth of July breakfasts, and have their races at a time 
when the thermometer is not so likely to be in the 90’s. 
Truly yours, Sculls. 
Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., June 2. 
Editor Forest and Stream :— 
Our Saratoga crew have been hard at work at their 
quarters for about four weeks now, and to all appearances 
they will be ready to put in a strong—at least a heavy — 
claim for recognition on the 16th of July next. The crew 
is formed of the following men : Ring, Corwin, Garvin, 
Clark, Southard and Ostrom, with Henderson and Myres 
for subs. They are all, with one exception, large, strong, 
and hardy men, and will undoubtedly do enough extra 
work to more than offset their extra weight. Y"our infor¬ 
mation in regard to our stroke being changed was not 
correct. Mr. King acts in that capacity at present, as he 
did last year, and as he undoubtedly will in the race._ The 
crew will leave for Saratoga next week, if possible ; if not, 
then immediately after commencement, which tades place 
July 2d. J* 
Secretaries and jnends of Athletic, Base-Ball, Cncket and other out¬ 
door Clubs 'will kindly mail their contributions not later than Monday in 
each week.

went in first and scored 75, of which T. Hopwood contri¬ 
buted 22—not out—and T. Warren 11, Lindley taking the 
majority of wickets. St. Geojge then went in and ran up 
60, of which Houston’s 11 was the only double figure 
score contributed, Caddick the most wickets. In the 
second innings of the St. Louis eleven, Grayson made 21, 
and Whittaker and Warren a dozen each, the total being 
63, Lindley again leading in bowling. The St. George 
then went in to get 79 to win, but they were disposed of 
for 40 only, Houston leading with 12, and Simpson making 
11, Grayson bowling the most wickets. This is the second 
defeat for the St. George team. 
—The St. George and Manhattan Clubs played their first

—On the occasion of the Second Annual dinner of the 
employ&s of Messrs. Wynkoop & Hallenbeck’s establish¬ 
ment, two nines were formed, respectively, “Monitor” and 
“Wild Oats.” The “Wild Oats” were sent to the bat, 
followed by the “Monitors.” After playing five innings, 
the score stood 22 for “Wild Oats ” to 16 for the “Moni¬ 
tors.” 
The Live Oaks at Lynn. —The strongest amateur men 
in New England, played a match with the Chicago pro¬ 
fessionals last Monday, the latter winning by 12 to 4 only. 
—The Maple Leaf Club, at Guelph, Canada, and the 
Easton nine, are to be among the contestants for the $500

—In the grand match, North vs. South, on June 4th, in 
England, the North won by three runs only; G. F. Grace’s 
57 and Lockwood’s 58, were the best scores on the North 
side, and Tupp’s 52 on the part of the South, W. G. Grace 
scoring 29 and 37 for the South. The score was North, 
251; South, 248. 
—On Saturday last, Hugh Donahue completed at Spring- 
field, Mass, the astounding task of walking 1,000 miles in 
1,000 hours, a feat only accomplished once before, and 
that was by Captain Barclay. The time seems to have 
been accurately kept, commencing May 16th at 3.40, and* 
ending on June 27th, at ten o’clock A. M. A medical man 
in attendance vouches for the facts and assures us that 
during the time of the walk Donahue never used alcholic 
stimulants, nor had any medicine administered to him. 
Seven persons, swear that at least two of them were always 
present during the arduous walk. Donahue is a mill spin¬ 
ner, and in this business thirty miles walking to and fro 
with the machines is an every day task. We have so far 
every reason to believe that the performance was a bona 
fide one. 
—The Yale College nine defeated the Princetons by 16 
to 1 on June 29th, at Hartford. The latter were short their

4th of July by Our metropolitan'clubs. The grand game of 
the day will he Atlantics m vs. Mutuals on the Union 
grounds. 
New Haven, June 27, 1874. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
The Base Ball tournament between the Freshmen nines 
of Harvard and Yale, June 22d, Harvard, 10; Yale, 4. 
June 28tli, Yale., 28; Harvard, 14. June 29th, Harvard 16; 
Yale, 7. Although the series was won by Harvard, the re¬ 
sult cannot he otherwise than encouraging to the Irale 
University nines, when it is taken into consideration that 
three of Harvard freshmen nine also belong to the Uni¬ 
versity nine of that college, while Yale has none thus 
situated. If under these circumstances the Harvard Fresh¬ 
men nine can only with difficulty defeat the Yale Freshmen 
nine, Yale must appear to stand the best chance in the 
coming contests in Saratoga. It will be seen that Harvard 
made 40 runs in all, while Yale made 89. This afternoon, 
(Saturday,) the Club plays a match with an amateur Club 
in Hartford, instead of with the professionals of that city, 
as announced last week, and on Monday, instead of Thurs¬ 
day they play the Princeton nine in that city.

—Among the novelties to be indulged in by our friends 
at the “Hub” on Independence Day is a timber race at 
South Boston. The contestants are to use forty-five feet 
pine logs, planks and squared logs; distance for men a 
mile and a half; for boys, half a mile.

BOOKS RECEIVED. 
1840 to 1870. Agricultural Products of the United States 
and Territories. By Samuel B. Ruggles, of the New York Chamber of 
Commerce. New York: D. Appleton &Co. 
This work at the present time affords much valuable informaton upon 
many subjects known but little, if, indeed, many of the facts here stated 
were known at all. Mr. Ruggles’ book comes to us as a reminder that 
this continent, by the force of its great agricultural expansive power and 
the native energy of its productive element,is destined to feed and clothe 
not only its own rapidly increasing millions of human beings, but mil¬ 
lions of people who now dwell m the old world, or upon the islands of 
the se^. We would gladly quote from this epitome of the agricultural 
population of America, and notice many very grave as well as interesting 
facts in relation to the productiveness of this country; such facts as 
this: “That ten States, in 1870, produced more than 21,000,000 tons 
avoirdupois of cereals alone, and at .the end of the century these products 
are estimated at 40,000,000 tons annually.” This is by no means a dry 
book, but one rich in the kind of knowledge that coins gold. The price 
of ttiis little work is only 50 cents. 
Field Ornithology. Comprising a Manual of Instruc¬ 
tion for Procuring, Preparing and Preserving Birds, and a Check List 
of North American Birds. By Dr. Elliott Coues. Salem Naturalist’s 
Agency, 1874. $2.50. 
We have in this book a companion indispensable to every one who has 
read carefully Dr. Cones upon North American Birds, and who has seen 
and examined his “Key” to the same. Every reader will be impressed 
with the great value of this wo k to every student of ornithology. Want 
of space in Dr. Coues’ other works induced him to devote a special vol¬ 
ume to the topics embraced in “Field Ornithology.” Young ornitholo¬ 
gists will be specially repaid in the careful perusal of the first portion of 
the book, which treats upon the collection, preservation and prepara¬ 
tion of birds. Chapter 3 is of great value to those who use the dog as 
an aid to their success in the collection of .many kinds of birds, whose 
habits render them difficult to take. The “Hygiene of Collectorship” is 
very valuable, as the writer can personally testify, for we have often lost 
fine specimens of birds from a lack of the very knowledge so pleasantly 
and plainly imparted by Dr. Cones. We have lost buds, both live and 
dead, for the simple reason we did not know how to manage them. We 
have learned much from the careful study of Dr. Coues’ books, and de¬ 
sire to impress their great value on all who love the sports of the chase, 
or the study of ornithology. 
The Three Judges of Charles I. By Israel P. Warren, 
New York: Wyman & Warren. 
This is a very well written work upon the existence of the regicides 
for some considerable time in tUe State of Massachusetts. There are 
persons even at the present day that would, if they could, deny the very 
existence of Washington; who see nothing venerable and truthful in 
many old historicalfacts that are as true as the existence of the world. 
Such men are of no benefit to society, do but little good, and believe but 
little of anything. We like men who candidly and for truth’s sake ex¬ 
amine all the old traditions and without captiousness seek after and give 
utterance to great truths, especially the facts of history and biography. 
The work before us is a biography that belongs to the times of the early 
Puritans, and the existence and residence of these men have always been 
received as one of the great facts that make the names of the famous re¬ 
gicides, Whalley, Goffe and Dixwell, like our most cherished household 
memories. 
Lake Superior Guide. With Township Map, including 
Lake Superior Region and Northern Minnesota. Philadelphia: J. 
Distnrnell, 1874. 
In a convenient form this Guide book embodies the geography and to¬ 
pography of the Lake Superior Region. Routes and distances are given, 
and all objects of Interest indicated to the traveler. The Neepigon 
River and the explorations in that region are embodied within the “Lake 
Superior Guide,” and the book will be found useful to travelers who 
may take a trip to our great inland seas. 
Guide to Moosehead Lake and Northern Maine. 
With Map. T, W. Ripley. Boston: 1874. 
This is an exceedingly compact little book, having no end of useful iu- 
formation in it, not only as to the lay of the land, the routes, the rail¬ 
roads. steamboats and stopping-places down East, but contains a great 
deal that is instructive about the animals, the canoes, guides, outfits, and 
the general expenses of the tourist in Maine. The map of Moosehead 
Lake, with the countless other lakes that cluster round it is quite a good 
one, and will be found immensely serviceable to those who fish or hunt 
in this most magnificent region.

Knobnoster, Mo., June 12, 1874. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
Although a stranger to you, I must take the liberty of writing to tell 
you how thoroughly we in the western country appreciate your eminent¬ 
ly successful efforts in starting a paper which is just what We have 
worked for for years. But few could perform the difficult task of pleas¬ 
ing sportsmen, rough trappers and hunters upon the frontier, and yet 
never introduce a single word or allusion -that would be found objection¬ 
able for family reading for our wives and daughters. Indeed, I think 
the ladies of my family would sooner give up their fashion magazines 
than the Forest and Stream. If you can but arouse in them sufficient 
enthusiasm for out of door summer life to induce them to give our fash¬ 
ionable resorts the “go by” and confine their dissipations to the win¬ 
ter alone; then will yon have deserved the blessing of scores of papas. 
We wish, too, that you would urge our anglers to be less selfish and 
choose for the summer sports localities accessible to ladies. It is a 
mighty selfish thing lor us lords of creation to go where we can’t take 
our wives and daughters. Again, you don’t blow your own trumpet half 
enough for the present times. Remember, my dear sir, stranger to you 
as I am, that “whosoever oloweth not his own trumpet, the same shall 
not be blown.” James Alexander, Jb-
