MR. TUCKER BEHIND.—We have received from some one in 
Montgomery, Ala., a photograph which represents a mule making 
great speed with a cart. In the cart are Mr. W. G. Tunstall, who is 
arivying, and Mr, ‘‘Andy’ Meddows, who appears to be using a gun as 
awhip. ‘Cutting behind” is Mr. Tucker, the Parker gum agent, whe 
appears to be “getting left..* There is probably some deep meaning 
to this picture, which was designed and executed by C. E. Wallen. of 
Montgomery, but we shall not attempt an interpretation, 
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON BEFOREHAND.—Moira, 
N.Y., July 15.—Editor Forest and Stream: At a recent shooting 
match two shooters made 20 each, and next highest 19,and soon. I 
contend that the two who tied on 20 should havé shot off for the first 
prize, and that the one beaten on shoot-off was not entitled toany- 
thing, and that the next highest, 19, was entitled to second prize. But 
the judges here gaye first and second prizes both to the two that tied 
on 20 and they divided first and second prizes. Had they either of 
them any right to second prize?—ANxI0vs. 
WILLARD V8. RIVERSIDE.—The seventh match for the Ligowsky 
medal, between the Willard Club of Portland. and the Riverside Club 
of Topsham, was shot at Portland on July 22. The Riversides were 
the challenging club, The match was shot in a gale of wind blowing 
from behind the shooters which accounts for the small scores, many 
of thé birds in the single shooting being on the ground before the sec- 
ond barrel could be used, and the second bird in the double shooting 
often being lost inthe same way. The judges were Messrs. Carter 
and Davis of Portland, Refere=, Mr. Pierce, also of Portland. The 
following are the scores:

KNICKERBOCKER Y. C. PENNANT MATCHES. 
Gieeeevee last, the date of the first pennant matches of the Knick- 
erbocker Y. C., brought a different sort of weather from that in 
which sandbaggers delight, but the cold weather, chilly northeast 
rain, squalls and lumpy sea did not discourage the oil-skinned Corin- 
thians, the turnout of ten boats being quite creditable considering 
the weather, at a time of year, too, when many are off cruising, 
The course was froma line off the elub-house to Throgg’s Neck 
Buoy and return. The start was made promptly on time, the first 
gun being fired at 3 P.M, and the second at 3:10; Bon Ton was the 
first over, with a close reef-and sand to windward; then Gracie, Mag- 
gie, Nellie R., Kittie B., Jean, Gipsie, Lizzie R., Flash and Undine, 
all on port tack, the last two with 54 seconds and 1 minute handicap 
against them. 
The beat across to Fort Schuyler was more work than fun, the 
crews being soaked and capsize imminent, and only avoided by con- 
stant care... Gracie took the lead, which she held throughout, haying 
8 minutes to spare at Fort Schuyler, Kittie B. had withdrawn before 
the turn was reached; but the rest turned in the following order: 
Lizzie R., Nellie R., Flash, Undine, Bon Ton, Jean and Maggie, Now 
the worst was over, and with less wind and sea and a fair tide Gracie 
shook out her reefs and started down wind for home, most cf the 
others increasing sail likewise, all finishing as below:

EASTERN Y. C. CRUISE AND RACES, 
T will be remembered that Fortuna had a sail over on June 27 in 
the matches off Marblehead, winning a prize of $250. Commodore 
Hovey has devoted this sum to the purchase of a cup for schooners, 
giving another of the same value for sloops, both of which were 
raced for on Monday last at New Bedford. 
The course decided on was atriangle of 27 miles,starting from Clark's 
Point. At1P. M., the time fixed for the start, there was a flat calm, 
but in spite of it the starting gun was fired promptly, several of the 
yachts towing to the line, and some drifting back when well over. 
This fun lssted for half an hour, by which time a notheriy wind 
fave promise of a race after all, sending Rover off, with Fortuna close 
astern, and Windward, Bedouin, Huron, Halcyon, Hesper, Wanderer, 
Rebecca, Maggie, Meteor, Ruth, Harbingér. and Gitana in chase to 
the first turn, 8 miles to windward. giving Bedouin a chance to do 
over again what she did so well at Marblehead, she being first around 
with Huron second, then Halcyon, Maggie, Hesper, Harbinger, Ke- 
becca, Windward, Rover, Meteor, Ruth, Gitana and Wanderer. 
By the time that the yachts had turned, the wind had done the 
same, meeting them again on end from southwest, giving another 
beat of fifteen miles, in which the positions of the leaders remained 
nearly the same, Fortuna coming up to fifth place and Rover dropping 
to the rear. The last stretch found matters changed but little, 
Bedouin coming in first. The two sloops Windward and Rover 
were practically nowhere, the honors resting With their long-legged 
opponents, 
he corrected times were as follows, Wanderer and Gitana not 
finishing:

The races were managed by the Regatta Committee of the E, Y, C., 
Messrs. Daniel Appleton, George A, Goddard and E. B. Haven. 
Tuesday morning found the fleet ready fora runto Newport. The 
weather of the previous day had favored the smaller boats, but a 
strong wind from southeast early in the morning gaining strengt 
through the day, gave a chance to the two-stickers to retrieve their 
reputations. As the start was not med closely, the yachts getting 
under way as they could about 10:30 A. M., the results are not accur- 
ate enough for a comparison of the boats. P 
Fortuna was first off, after giving the signal at 10:30 A. M., and 
was first in at Newport at 1:51:30 P. M. Latona, Gitana and Bedouin 
made a late start. the rear guard, Wanderer, Halcyon and Thetis get- 
ting off about 10:40. 45.3 
ff Mishaum Ledge at 11 A, M., spinnakers were set and carried to 
Brenton’s Reef, where sheets came in for a beat up to the anchorage.
