SEAWANHAKA CORINTHIAN Y. C. 



JT fras very unfortunate for the Seawanliaki Y. C. that their races 

 followed so close on the two of theN. Y. Y. C coming in between 

 thorn ami the Lone Island race of Monday. Several oe those who 

 were out on Friday were, disabled, ere .vs were tired out, and on the 

 Others time was needed to prepare for Monday, so that of fourteen 

 entri -s but eight started. The wind an I water were but a repetition 

 of Friday, with addition of a clear sky. Fauuy, Mischief, Ueen, 

 Grayhug, Crustier and Vixen were missing, Isis talcing: the latter's 

 place. 



The course was from Fort Wads worth around Baoy No. 10 and 

 Buoy No. 8><>, thence to and around Sandy Hook Lightship and return 

 over the sa he course to Buoy No. 16, the fourth class sloops only go- 

 ing- around Buoy No. 5 at Sandy Hook The Luekenbach was on 

 hand as usual with Messrs. Bayard, Suydam and De Luze, the regatta 

 committee, on board ; the Sirius carried the members and guests of 

 the club, and Sentinel. Gleam and Marina came out to see the start. 



Topmasts were housed on all except Amazon, one. and on some 

 two reefs turned in, and Ray sent both topmasts ashore. 



The starters were but eight, as follows: 



SCHOONERS. 



Length. 



Clytie 85.00 New York 



Bay 03.00 Seawanhaka 



FIRST CLASS SLOOPS. 



Grade 78 . 02 New York

SECOND CLASS SLOOPS. 



Oriva 00 . 83 Seawanhaka 



■Isis 61.25 Seawanhaka 



KODBTH CLASS SLOOPS. 



Betrel 30.51 Seawanhaka 



Amazon 28.03 Atlantic 



At 11:33 the first whistle sounded, the Luekenbach being then on a 

 line with the middle tower of Fort Wadsworth, and five minutes later 

 the. starling signal was given. Athlon was first to CJOss on port tack 

 under staysail and single reefed jib. "Stand by for Isis," called out 

 the timekeeper, as the new cutter was seen close to the line, but be- 

 fore she could cro^s. Oriva, with one reef and jib, swooped down be- 

 tween her and the tug, and handled beautirully, ran through her 

 weather and crossed ahead of her. Gracie was late, having stopped 

 to tie in *econd reef, having also jib and staysail set. Grayling ran 

 down with the others, but soon turned back." The times at the start 

 were: 



Athlon 11 40 18 Amazon . 11 43 15 



Oriva 11 42 00 Petrel - 11 4? 10 



Isis 11 42 05 Gracie H 50 40 



Clytie 11 42 46 Ray 11 52 50 



The little fellows, Petrel and Amazon, snugly reefed, were bobbing 

 up and down, the former soon ahead. Amazon parted the shackle of 

 her weather shrouds when below the forts, both shrouds coming 

 down. As it was found impossible to repair the damage, the main- 

 sail was lowered, and she ran under head of jib into Perth Amboy. 

 At 12:07 Grade's staysail came down, while Oriva, with tack triced 

 up, was well ahead, Athlon next and Isis third. The bay even here 

 was all in a tumble, with a promise of still more outside. Oil the 

 Upper Middle buoy Isis passed Athlon and led for a short time. 

 Smoother water was found at buoy No. 10, and Oriva and Athlon, 

 after rounding, stopped for second reefs. 



Oriva 12 4116 Athlon 12 44 25 



Clytie 12 46 46 Isis 12 43 52 



Gracie 12 43 40 



While lying under the Hook, Petrel appeared alone, Amazon being 

 long out. She ran under the Point, anchored, repaired a tear in her 

 mainsail, her crew diued, and started on again around buoy 5 in time 

 to go home with the big ones. 



At 1 o'clock Oriva and Athlon were busy with second reefs, while 

 Gracie kept on. passing both and gaining quite a lead on them. 

 Rounding the Hook Gracie was butting into the seas, throwing spray 

 all over her, while Oriva witn a steady swing went through thern at 

 a pace that was taking her rapidly to the front, and at 2:15 she had 

 Grade under her lee, gaining on her steadily from there to tue Light- 

 ship. 



by this t ime there was fun on the tug as the big seas came in, green 

 and solid, on the bar. Down she went and up again, now and then 

 taking a sea over her stern and soaking all on the after deck, and 

 once, with a roll to port, sending stools, tables and pa-;sen;ers into 

 the leefccuppeis, hut once over the bar the seas were longer and less 

 vicious, more attention ,\as paid to the yachts and less to personal 

 interests. Ray had been lo t sight of until now, when she was seen 

 astern, heading up and making good weather of it but going slowly 

 over the ground, evidently bound on going over the course, though 

 all alone, Clytie having turned and given up just before with a broken 

 bobstay. Isis soon followed, seeing which Athlon turnen tail and 

 made for the Hook also, leaving Oriva and Gracie to fight it out 

 alone. It was clear over nead but wind and water were both cold for 

 a June day, and there was no place for any but thorough sailors out- 

 side the Hook. On the beat out all Orira's good qualities were seen 

 and appreciated, as she not only left big Gracie with her 21ft. of 

 extra length astern but did it all in a way that was doubly to her 

 credit. Probably no othe. - yacht in New York waters has been so 

 heartily abused as Oriva, the first large cutt«r built here, and the 

 name she has gained in the past two seasons, wiih the added vic- 

 tories of Friday and Saturday, are due no more to her than to the 

 ca eful handling and thorough seamanship of her owner and skip- 

 per, a true Corinthian in every way. At the Lightship her time was 

 3:06, with Gracie one minute later, the latter jiningat once as she 

 rounded, while Oriva stood in to catch the early flood up the beach, 

 jibing further iu shore and shaking a reef out. Runnmg before 

 wind and tide the seas were hgnter and more to Grade's taste, and 

 size of cour.-e began to tell Oriva was now under single reef, but 

 losi'g ground, rounding Buov No. 10 at 4:24:04, Gracie having turned 

 at 4:22:04. 



Wh.-n last seen Ray was hanging on bravely, still well to leeward 

 of the Lightship. Coming up the Bay, Bedouiu met the leaders, 

 standing up grandly under lower sail, aud looking ready in every 

 way for'Monday's tight. 



Peirel was also sighted, under double reefed mainsail and reefed 

 staysail, going along easily and steadily. Gracie passed the line at 

 5:08:20, Petrel at 5:04:15, and Oriva at 5:12:43, Ray not being tim^d. 



Jerseys and oilers were changed for snoregoing clothes and the 

 lired sailors were picked up by the Luekenbach off Stapleton, but ill 

 spite of frock coats, linen collars and such disguises, it was easy to 

 pick out the sailor men from the crowd on the tug, by the salt-en- 

 crusted faces, aud hands that showed traces of an intimate acquaint- 

 ance with wci ropes. The crews of the winning boats were: 



Sloop Gracie.— J. Frederic Tarns, captain: John E Roosevelt, O. D. 

 Lovell, Sidney Chubb, AVilliam M. Wright, Alfred Roosevelt, W.

SPRING MATCHES ON NEW YORK BAY. 



BESIDES half a dozen matches of the smaller clubs. New York has 

 had during the past week four races, in which most of the larger 

 sloops and cutters, with some of the best known of the schooners, 

 have entered, and the results, though unsatisfactery in some re- 

 spects, must be of value to all yachtsmen. 



Of course the main interest centered on the sloops and cutters, the 

 latter having afar better representation than ever before. Ileen as 

 yet untried, Uedouin and Wenonah altered during the winter. Oriva 

 in good ohape as usual, while the new Isis, which appeared for the 

 first time, has been looked forward to with great interest by yachts- 

 men of moderate views. 



The most important of all the separate points involved in the great 

 controversy that has divided yachtsmen daring the past five years 

 has been, of course, displacement, and intimately connected with it, 

 that of depth as a factor of safety. Moderate, beam, low ballast, 

 double jib, keels, housing spars, loose mainsail, reasonable rig— valu- 

 able as they all are— have, been subordinate to this main point, which 

 is now conceded by almost universal practice as definitely settled, 

 the old u.eories of light displacement and draft being abandoned in 

 New York and still more in Boston. 



The change going on steadily season by season, of lead for iron, 

 outside ballast in place of inside, on ail classes of yachts, decides that 

 point finally ; double head rig is now the rule and not the exception, 

 while less "hoist, move gaff, long topmasts, loose mainsails are too 

 :! ijo excite comment. The actual practice of yachtsmen of all 

 opinions has thus finally decided all the maiu questions at issue in 

 favor of FonrcsT jikd Stream, and the p ork of this season is to decide 

 the minor details, keel or board, moderate or small beam, the pro- 

 portion of draft best suited to our requirements, and various points 

 of less importance. 



While a large number of yachtsmen still sail under the Hag of the 

 thorough cutler, most of those who once stoo 1 up stoutly for the old 

 light displacement boat* have abandoned them and shifted their 

 colors to a new type of craft, deep, wide, large displacement, n ixed 

 rig. eenterboara, low -weights; a type represented in Boston by the 



now Thetis, and in New "York by Athlon, who lias sailed her first 

 races within the laso two weeks, while a large contingent, still further 

 over the fence, have pinned their faith on the cutter Isis, a boat mod- 

 erately wide and deep. 



The presence of so many c steers, and of the two la'ter boats in ad- 

 dition to most of the older sloops, an 1 the Thistle, new in these 

 waters and just rebuilt, had raised anticipations of flue sport, which 

 have been to a certain extent realized, though marred by tho<e acci- 

 dents incident in vacating, and of which the cutters have had their 

 full share. 



Bedouin, of whom so much was expected, has been out of all the 

 races, owing to the death of a child of her owner; Ileen has changed 

 skippers but recently, and her new master, promotea from a ten-ton- 

 ner, has not had time yet to learn his boat, while in Friday's race, 

 being a resailing of the previous day's contest, and not on the pro- 

 gramme, she had no regular racing crew aboard. Wenonah has been 

 equally unlucky, losing topmast ou Thursday and parting her shrouds 

 on Friday, so that the whole burden of the fight has fallen on little 

 Oriva. a task she has accomplished in a way creditable to herself and 

 her owner. Of the sloops, the only mishap of moment was to Mis- 

 chief, who varied her usual performance by starting her port chain- 

 plates in the jump off the Hook ou Friday. 



The paltry winds of the first two days made any real test impossi- 

 ble, while the postponement of the New York race, with Monday's 

 contest so close, prevented several from entering it, and cut down the 

 S. C. Y. C.'s entries on Saturday. The Atlantic Y. C. race was, of 

 course, of less interest than the others,, the boats being centerboards, 

 with one exception, the entries for large -chooners small, and there 

 was little wind. Mischief and Fanny did the best work of the day, 

 being about even throughout, Gracie was hardly iu the race at any 

 time, and Athlon showed up once or twice, noticeably when near 

 home, and Grayling beat her two competitors, no great task. 



The light wind of Thursday, shifting as it di 1, with numberless 

 flukes and no race at the end, gave no test of merit, but some of the 

 individual performances may bi noticed in passing. Ileen at the 

 start showed what she could do in a drift, and promised well until 

 her chances were spoiled by a shift of wind. Athlon followed her 

 for a time, aud though making no hmg off Fanita in their b;at down 

 outside, made a better show in the evenmg when chasing the leaders 

 in a lia-ht breeze. Mischief und Fanny did about as on Tuesday. 

 Wenonah footed well but went out of her course before turning the 

 Lightship and lost her topmast afterward, her sailing when there 

 was a chance justifying her old reputation. Oriva and Vixen were 

 about even all day; Gracie was astern again, an 1 isis did nothing of 

 note, though of course allowance must be made for a boat in it race 

 that was virtually atrial trip. Of the schooners, Grayling did the 

 best, MontauK not having wind to move her. 



Friday's race, with its wind aud sea, sifted out the entries with a 

 rude hand. Wenonah, Mischief and Clio disabled, Athlon and Isis 

 turning back in the face of the beat out, and of those who went over, 

 Ueen, showing what she could do to windward, pointing, footing and 

 going easily through all, beating Gracie and Fanny easily to the 

 Lightshipj leading them to the Southwest Spit, only losing her place 

 after a splendid struggle ou the final run home; while Oriva took 

 good care of Vixen all day. finally beating her home. 



Saturday's work under similar conditions was the same, but even 

 more so. Vixen did not start. Athlon and Isis looked around the 

 Hook and came home. Gracie wen' over the course, led for a greater 

 part of the way by little Oriva, while 28-ft Petrel hammered down to 

 the Hook and home in grand style. Of the schooners, only the little 

 keel Ray went over the course, Clytie, who started with her, turn- 

 ing back disabled, the rest not venturing out. Neither side can thus 

 far claim a decisive victory, but certainly the laurels for the best, if 

 not the only brilliant performance of the whole week, rest with Oriva. 



AROUND LONG ISLAND. 



AS the ability of American yachts to go further and risk more in- 

 creases, the desire to do so will grow with it. While it is true 

 that long and dangerous cruises have been made at times in shoal 

 boats it is equally certain that off shore cruising is becoming mo e 

 common than ever before in our yachting annals, and this year prom- 

 ises to -urpass all previous ones in the matter of long races. 



The first of the series, that around Long Island, was sailed this 

 week, starting on Monday afternoon, fourteen yachts crossing the 

 hue. The prizes are a cup valued at $500 for schooners, presented by 

 W. D. Travers, one of a like amount for first class sloops, presented 

 by ex-Commodore J. D. Smith, and one of $3 for sec aid class sloops 

 presen ed oy Mr. Archibald Rogi-rs and Rear Com. S. R. Piatt. 



The race is a "go as you please." no time allowance and no limit to 

 crews or course after rounding Romer Beacon. The starting line was 

 between the forts i i the Narrows, and the finish on a line from Exe- 

 cui on Light to Sands Point Lighthouse. 



At 4 o'clock on Monday the starters were ready about the line with 

 the steam yachts Theresa and Vision, the catamaran Jessie, several 

 sloops and schooners, and the Luekenbach, with a number of the 

 N'ew York Y. C. members, including Mr. Montant, who had charge of 

 the start, on board. A preparatory whistle was blown at 3:55 P. M., 

 and at 4:05 a second one to start. 



The day was clear and warm, wind light from southwest, and water 

 smooth away out, with an ebb tide. The yachts that started and 

 their time of crossing were as follows: 



SCHOONERS.

Athlon J. G Barron. M. D 4 11 00 



Vixen F. ( 1, Lawrence, Jr 4 06 40 



Oriva C. Smith Lee 4 06 15 



Most of the sloops and cutters had club topsails set, the schooners 

 under full sail, Ileen ran up balloon jibtopsail before crossing. Fleet- 

 wing made a specially fine show with kites set, Oriva crossed first 

 with her old antagonist, Vixen, right on her heels. 



At 4:30 Fanny was ahead. Grayling close after her. Vixen, with 

 Oriva fast on her weather quarter, Hildegarde just under Oriva's lee. 

 with Wenonah astern of the two, aud Ileen astern but to windward 

 of all four. Behind this group was Fortuna. with Athlon astern of 

 her again, Gracie being among the stragglers. 



Soon Oriva aud Vixen had a little bout of their own to windward. 

 Oriva twice luffing up. while the two other twins, Ileen and Hilde- 

 garde were evidently 'happy in each other's company. At 4:42 Hilde- 

 garde went through Ueen's lee; at 4:45 a spinaker boom came out on 

 Fanny's port, ready for the turn at lower beacon, others following at 

 once. 



Fanny passed the Romer at 4:60, the others being timed as follows: 



Graying 4 51 00 Oriva 4 57 00 



Hildegarde 4 54 30 Athlon 4 57 30 



Fortuna 4 55 00 Ruth 4 57 40

Wenonah 4 56 00 Fleetwing 4 59 30 



Vixen 4 5b 10 Estelle 5 00 00 



Ileen 4 56 30 



When off Coney Island at 5:23. Oriva parted her spinnaker halliards 

 and down came the big sail ia the water, just as she was leaving 

 Vixen. A hand was soon aloft repairing damages, and at 5:35 up 

 ■went tne sail again. As the twilight deepened they stood on in about 

 the same order until lost to sight to those on the tug, and the race 

 was fairly begun. 



On Tuesday evening, Commodore Munroe, of the Larchmont Y. C, 

 with the Regatta Committee and a party of the club members, pat 

 off in a tug, iyiag all night on the finishing line at Execution, but 

 nothing was s^en of the yachts, there being almost a dead calm. The 

 schooners Nokomis, Meteor, Tidal Wave and Columbia, with Estelle 

 and Bedouin, were awaiting the finish off Larchmont. 



At 9 A. M. the leaders were reported off Mattinecock Light, and 

 later Fanny appeared first, crossine the line at 11:42 with Grayling 

 just astern. Gracie arrived at 12 :07 and Montauk at 1 F. M. 



WHISPER. — This steam yacht has not had her pressure out down 

 as reported, being allowed 150 pounds, the boiler having stood a test 

 of 225 pounos. Her owner, Mr. F. S Kinney, has made a number of 

 valuable experiments with wheels during the past year, both on her 

 and with small inodds, and she now has a wheel of his own design 

 with two thin steel blades bolted to a cast iron hub. 



MADGE.— After two years of idleness Madge turned up in the Bay 

 lastweek. She must have been astonished at the change two years 

 had made in the fleet, double head sails, plumb stems, longer ov> r- 

 hangs, tall topmasts on every hand, a result for which she may take 

 a large part of the credit. 



INDIAN RIVER Y C. -A yacht dub was organized June 7, known 

 as the Indian River Y. G, of Roekledge, Fla. The officers elected 

 ere: Gardner S. Hardee, Commodore; Lyman Barnes, Vice-Commo- 

 dore; H. S.Williams, Captain; B C. Willard, Treasurer; Barton 

 Smith, Secretary 



| THE SNYDER ENGINES AND YACHTR.-The eteatft vacht has 

 . now passed from the first stages of experiment aud become an ac- 

 complished fact, taking its place no longer as an article, of luxury tor 

 a few, but a necessity wherever water transit is needed, tilling a posi- 

 tion between the towing and sailing boats and larger -teamooats. To 

 meet the increasing demand, the Snyder Engine Company are now 

 building a hue of engines and boilers especially designed for steam 

 yachts, tugs and launches, besides which they also firuish the hull 

 completely fitted up for use For the smallest boats they build an 

 engine 8Mx4}&, 24in. high, and of but 50 pounds weight, with a hotter 

 of 2h'u. diameter and 42in. high, from which they run up to a 12,-12 

 cylinder wil h boiler in proportion. The small sizes are of very neat 

 design, fitted with link and reversing lever, the parts being carefully 

 proportioned and all neatly finished. The boilers are of iron or steel, 

 vertical tubular in type, and are specially designed to be easily cleaned 

 and to do the best possible work with poor waters as is often neces- 

 sary in steam yachts. The company make a specialty of one size of 

 yacht that has been found to meet the popular demand best, the hull 

 being 30ft. x Oft. 6in. with 20iu. draft. The engine is a 3^x5^, with 

 boiler 33x48, vertical tubular, wheel 24in, The hull is of oak.ulaiiked 

 with ceda; , and finished either with awnings or light roof as desired. 

 Besides the above, the company also manufacture propeller wheels, 

 and a large line of portable and stationary engines, ootu vertical and 

 horizontal. 



ANOTHER STEAM YA.0HT DISASTER,— Following close on the 

 sinking of the Stella comes the foundering of the Gaz-dle, a boat once 

 known in New York, but finceused in Florida and later in Baltimore, 

 The Gazelle. 56ft. long, 18ft. beam, and 4]4tt. depth of hold, started 

 out from Baltimore on Tuesday afternoon, June 10, having besides 

 her captain, J. R. Mills, and a crew of five, a party of seventeen ladies 

 and sixteen gentleman, members of the Tuesday Club, besides a Ger- 

 man band, ail bound on an afternoon excursion to Annapolis. They 

 spent some time ashore and started at 9 F. M. to run up, but once out 

 of the Severn River a gale was met from southeast, kicking up a sea 

 that soon had the little craft leaking badly and the situation became 

 quite dangerous. Soon many of the party, though ignorant of their 

 danger, became very seasick. Several of the gentlemen, together 

 with the captain, decided on making for a dredge known to be 

 anchored off the Patapsco River, but on reaching it the sea ran so 

 high that it was almost impossible to come alongside. After great 

 difficulty, however, the ladies were safely landed on the dredge, in 

 spite of the musicians, who insisted on landing first, but were knocked 

 down by some of the gentlemen It was found that the yacht was 

 sinking, so all abandoned her, taking refuge on the scow, and shortly 

 after she disappeared. The ladies were housed in the engine room. 

 while the others had to pass the night on deck in the rain, all being 

 finally taken to the city by a tug the following morning. 



THE PENNSYLVANIA Y. C. held its fourth anuual regatta on the 

 Delaware, on Monday. June 9. The course was from the Kensing:on 

 Water Woiks wharf to a buoy opposite Deianco, N. J., and return to 

 a buoy opposite place of starting. Fifteen boats started. The signal 

 wah given at 11 o'clock exactly. On airival at Deianco the little fleet 

 met with quite a squab, but no accident occurred. Good sailing v. as 

 made the whole way. The crews were favored with glorious weather 

 and light, breezy winds. Considerable amusement was caused by the 

 efforts of one crew to cut out another's boat. The order of passing 

 the home buoy was: First, No. 7, Bessie; owner. J. Leslie Wood; 

 sailed by George Smith; second, No. 5. Joe and Willie Smith; owner, 

 J. Leslie Wood: sailed by John Smith; third, Leonard Stadler, dis- 

 qualified; fourth. No. 13, Mediator; owner. Walter Uildei t; salted by 

 John Armroyd. The rest came in suaggling, The first pr.ze wt.s 

 820 and the champion flag; second, §12; third, §6. The \> in,. er ar- 

 rived at the home buoy at 4:15 P. M. exactly.— Philadelphia Times. 



PROPOSED FLORIDA CRUISE.— Cleveland, O.. June 9.-J, W. 

 Rusk, principal of the Rusk School of Elocution, aud wife are pre- 

 paring for a trip to Florida hi a small yacht. They will ship the vacht 

 via 0. P. R. R. to WelLville, O., thence down the Ohio to the Missis- 

 sippi, down to the gulf aud around the coast to Florida. 1 hey ex- 

 pect to be absent about seven months, leaving Cleve'and about Aug. 

 15. The yacht will be ntted out for comfort and staunchness rather 

 than speed. It is 24ft. by 8ft. beam, cabin l2fc. They will use a 

 Stranahan canvas boat for tender.— Pedagog.

CAPE MAY RACE —But two entries have as yet been made for 

 the race around Cape May Lightship o i M aiday next, Montauk cuil 

 Grayling Tne condition of the race, which is open to all yachts be- 

 longing to any yacht dub, are that it is to be sailed in cians ng trim, 

 wuh boats at tue davits and ancnors on bows. As it is w.ihout time 

 allowance, it is not likely that the sloops and cutters will enter. 



BOSTON Y. C— The annual review of the Boston Y. C. was held 

 on Saturday, June 14. in Dorcuesier Bay. the Adrieuue. Commodore 

 Pfaff's fiagthip, taKing her position off fnorop-on's Island at S l 

 and firing a signal gun. The lieet passed in review with a iresh 

 southeast breeze, each firing a gun to leeward in passing, the smaller 

 ones dipphig their colors. After a sail down the Bay all spent tue 

 evening at the club house. 



NEWARK BAY Y. C.-The winners in the various classes in the 

 opeuinateaes of Monday were: Vixen. 1:26:31; Our Own, 1:30;20W; 

 Ju-t Woke Up, 1:32:50W: Cygnet, 1:35:31; Shadow, 1:32:38, and 

 Teaser, 1:33:11. Wo will give a fuller account next week. 



EAST RIVER Y, —But one boat, the Nettie Thorp, capsized on 

 M'indayin the races of the East River Y. C. The course, was f om 

 tue elub house to and around the Gangway Buoy and hack, the 11. II. 

 Holmes winning, with Snoozer second. 



DAISY.— This cutter, lately purchased by Mr. Maunsell Van Rens- 

 selaer. Jr., of this city, was sailed around from Southampton, Eng- 

 land, to Liverpool, and wid leave on Saturday next for this country 

 on one of the ocean steamers. 



THETIS.— The new one of which so much is expected, was out on 

 Saturday last, on Boston Bay. It is a pity that she was not ready 

 for the Long Island race, but she will make her first appearance at 

 Marblehead soon.

A Woman's Opinion Worth Having.— Williruantie, Conn,— Editor 



Forest and Stream: Permit me lo express my admiration for the 

 publication of a sportsman's paper so pure that the most sen i ive 

 and refined lady can read every line without a blusb. Many of 113 

 can get our outings only through the stories told by om- husbands or 

 brothers, and believe me we appreciate the jokes a great deal better 

 if told in the manly, straightforward way in which your ' boys" tell 

 them. It does not require very deep penetration to distinguish the 

 sportsman from the sporting man, the sportmau's paper from the 

 sporting papers that occasionally find their way into our homes.— 

 A Sincere Aomirer. 



The Great Desideratum— Of late years a new enemy of the health 

 and hapoiness of the people nas appeared in the form of malaria. 

 Not that the thing of itself is new, but the name has a newer defini- 

 tion— so wide that thousands of our people in city and coumry 

 b slieve themselves aftlict-d with it. So physicians tell us. ami per- 

 haps they are right. All chose bad feelings, depression of spirits, 

 coated tongue, capricious or wanting appetite, pain in the head, back 

 or limbs. *\ euro told, are ail due 10 malaria. Ami to cure malaiia 

 the doctors prescribe quinine, and the people take quinine, in -eason 

 and out of season, the high and the low, the weak and the s ck 

 and the well, until everybody is rolling the bitter morsel under tlitir 

 tongues. WeU, does it cure? No. Is it harmless? No. for it docs 

 produce neuralgia and deafness and other disorders, sometimes of 

 very grave character. Is there no better way of treating malaria 

 than this abuse of this most powerful and even dangei ous medieine? 

 Yes, there is; and it is a fact proved by twenty years' use and expe- 

 rience, and thousands of triumphant cures that Humphrey's Homeo- 

 pathic Specifics Nos. 10 and 16 do cure, pioinpilv and permanently. 

 all those cases of malaria, and that with simple,' tasteless, harmless 

 sugar-coated pills.— Exchange. — ^4dt'.
