FOREST AND STREAM. 



[March 20, 1884. 



MODEL YACHT. -Mr. Daniel T. Hemlrickson. of No. 22 East Me- 

 chanic street, has just completed a miniature model of a modern 

 racing cutter from the line- laid clown in Forest and Stream last 

 summer in illustrating the Neva, of Boston. It is extremely doubt- 

 ful if a similar model has ever been made with such fahbful at- 

 tention to detail and skillful handling of the numerous small parts. 

 The hull is built of white .vood in two pieces, each half being 

 steamed and bsnt into perfect conformity with the framework of 

 ribs. The rail and trimmings are of ma'hoganv and white holly, 

 the hull is black to the waterliue and gilt below. The deck is laid 

 off in seams conforming to the lines of the vessel, and a grating 

 ot mahogany occupies the bow. where also fs a small working cap- 

 stan of brass. A geared steering wheel moves the rudder, and little 

 blocks with sheaves of brass are all in their proper places, and will 

 do their required work. The cockpit is upholstered with velvet 

 seats and surrounded with a coaming of white holly and mahogany, 

 each strip of which is about one-quarter inch wide and an iueh 

 long, and is worked with a delicate bead. From the cockpit four 

 mahogany steps lead down into the cabin, which is housed over 

 and lighted with brass-rimmed ports. The cabin is carpeted, and 

 contains completely furnished bunks and lockets and a d&ing-table, 

 everything made exactly as though intended for the use of a 

 liliputian crew. The whole model is not more than P/,ft. in length, 

 the hull measuring 33m. It is rigged with mainsail, topsail and jibs.

F. W., Paterson, N. J.— Which of the following woods do you con- 

 sider the best for trout fly-rods, viz: Bethabara, greenhart, lance- 

 wood, or snakeroot? Ans. These, woods ah have their advocates and 

 their faults. Lance wood if properly made, so as not to be too heavy, 

 is as good as any. 



E. J. B., Charlottetown, P. E. I.— Are the thread-wound cartridges 

 for long ranges advertised in Forest and Stream really of any use? 

 A friend of mine here tried some of them and assures me that they 

 are a fraud. Ans. We have never used them, but have heard them 

 well spoken of by those who have. 



J. H. R., Scranton, Pa.— Can you inform me where I can find a good 

 assortment of limiting pictures— quail and partridge shooting, etc.— 

 as I wish to purchase a pair of such pictures; size, not over 12x14 

 inches. Ans. Write to J. M. Tracy for catalogue of his pictures. 

 We do not know of many good pictures. 



S. M. N.. New York.— Have the State Fish and Game Commission- 

 ers made a report of the year's doings, or is there any way of finding 

 out what the sectional protectors have done during the past year? 

 Ans. The report of the Fish Commissi or ers ot New York is now in 

 the hands of the State Printer and will soon be issued. 



J. B., Brooklyn. N. Y.— Is the species known as Andubon's warbler 

 extinct (Dendrteca auduboui)'/ If not, is it only occasionally seen 

 and wnat is its habitat ? Ans. A very common bird from the Rocky

 send belongs to the American goldfinch oryellowbird. (Astragalinus 

 tristis. 



C. B., Taunton, Mass.— What is the best way to raise goldfish? Can 

 their eggs be taken and hatched in trays? Ans. Get medium-sized 

 bright nsh and put in a pond where there are water plants and where 

 the water gets warm. They will spawn in May or June and hatch 

 without care. The young are brown the first year, and m some 

 waters longer. Their spawn is glutinous and cannot be handled on 

 trays as some other eggs are. 



Rambler's Club, Cbelsea.Mass. — 1. Which is the. best place in Massa- 

 chusetts, both as regards gunning and fishing, for a party to go 

 camping? 2. Which is the best place in Maine for a party to spend a 

 few weeks gunning and fishing? 3. Where is the best camping ground 

 in New Hampshire? Ans. You give no idea as to the season of the 

 year atwhicu you wish to go, ana it is therefore impossible to answer 



intelligently your questions. In Massachusetts there is fair gunning 

 for shore birds on Cape Cod. Grouse and quail near Plymouth. For 

 information about Maine resorts write to Kennedy Smith, Eustis, 

 Maine. New Hampshire shores of Lake Winnepissaukee or among 

 the Green Mountains; almost anywhere. 



Subscriber, Biunswick, Ga.— 1. Please let me know where I can 

 purchase from 100 to 200 live quail for stocking purposes. 2. What 

 is the largest squid on record? 3. How often does a bitch get in 

 heat? 4. How long from time should she be locked up? Ans. 

 1. Write to Chas. Reiche & Bro., Chatham street, New York. 2. The 

 largest entire squid ihat we know of was in the New York Aquarium . 

 It was forty feet long. It may now be in Coup's Museum and 

 Theatre, Chicago. 3. Generally twice a year. 4. About three weeks. 



G. E. S., Fredericton, N. B.— 1. There is a certain lake not far from 

 this; it is about half a mile long and a quarter long, very pure good 

 water, entirely fed by springs, no inlet and not much outlet except 

 for about three months in the year when the water seems to rise a 

 bit. In about one-third of the lake a line 160 feet long cannot find 

 bottom, the rest of the lake is from six to t\\ elve feet deep. There 

 are in it now some black bass and trout. What would be good fish to 

 stock it with, both in a sporting and "money" sense of the word? 

 The lake, I believe, has a muddy bottom. 2. As I am thinking of go- 

 ing on a trip on horseback in a short time, please send me any in- 

 formation upon bridle, saddle or camping out which might be of use. 

 Ans. 1. We presume that the fish already in the lake will do better 

 than any other kind. Should think that trout especially ought to do 

 well there. 2. Would recommend a heavy leather headstall with 

 rings and snaps at the sides, so that the bit could be taken off without 

 removing the headstall. There should be a ring beneath the jaw to 

 which a rope could be attached. Use a Californian or Mexican sad- 

 dle, but get one that comes somewhere near fitting you. There are 

 many works on camping. See list of books we publish. We have 

 not the space here for an essay on the subject. 



Designer, New York.— 1. Is the rock bass mentioned in your paper 

 the striped bass? 2. Are the parties right who say they are caught 

 with the fly? I remember one day last April catching a fine striped 

 bass upon a hook which had a piece of scarlet worsted, frayed out. 

 tied to the snank, and was baited with clam. The day was 'cold and 

 gray and the water wild*, with wind blowing off shore, tide flood. 

 Writing about bass reminds me of some which I caught last fall, the 

 gills of which contained a hard bony bug, which, when put upon the 

 finger would take a firm hold upon the flesh and were hard to remove. 

 3. What are they? 4. Where can menhaden be obtained in this city? 

 5. The planting of salmon in the Hudson, mentioned in one of last 

 year's papers, was it done, and will they appear in tne Hudson in 

 1885, or will they seek the native stream of the parent fish as the ex- 

 Commissioner of the Canadian Fishculture asserts, and be seen in the 

 Hudson no more? Would they be seen breaking water in the lower 

 Hudson as well as upperpart? Ans. 1. No. The rock bass is a fresh- 

 water fish, seldom reaching a pound in weight. As the striped bass 

 of the North is called rock, and rockfish in the Soutn, the two are 

 often confounded. 2. The rock bass. Ambloplites. takes the fly. 8. 

 A crustacean parasite often found on fresh-water fishes. 4. Of E. G. 

 Blackford, Fulton Market. 5. The salmon were planted and may 

 return. There is no probabilty of their seeking the Penobscot, from 

 which they came. They would be apt to show in the lower Hudson if 

 they return.

F ISHIN G RO DS. 



Having been the pioneers in the manufacture and introduction of Section Bamboo Rods, -we have always 



taken great pride in securing and perfecting every improvement in order to maintain our position as the makers of 



the very best rods. Knowing not only theoretically, but also by long experience, that a properly made round rod 



is the only absolutely perfect rod, we have invariably refused, and still do refuse, to put our name on any but our 



''Best" round section rods. Our prices for these rourid rods average only about 40 per cent, more than the prices 



asked by any other makers, while the rods are widely known to be incomparably superior. While no hexagonal or 



trade ?/Sk "4-K^T MARI< any angular) rod can be perfect, we long believed that with proper work l.anship and material a really good angular 



U ^Jf V roc ^ com< ^ ^ e mac ^ e - Being much easier and cheaper to make than round rods, we hoped to be able to offer to those 



4^0^ M&s. ^^S* anglers who can not afford to pay the price of our "Best" round rods, a hexagonal rod that would be good and 



■^JlgT^ serviceable. at a moderate price. We are more than satisfied with the success which has attended our efforts, for we 



%f are now able to furnish a hexagonal rod that is really worth having, and at a price which is only a trifle in advance 



of that asked by other makers. 



In addition to the many styles of round and hexagonal Section Bamboo Rods, we wish to call the attention '■ of anglers to our large 

 variety of fine Ash aud Lancewood and Greenheart rods. Every rod guaranteed absolutely hand made. 



If your dealer does not keep our goods in stock, or will not order them for you, send us 50 cents for 120-page illustrated catalogue.
