 a cruise around the world. Captain Frederick Evans will command

YACHT RACING ASSOCIATION.-Owing to some small errors in 

 the time scale a new edition of the sailing rules has been issued. We 

 have before spoken of these rules as containing much that is of value 

 to youug yacht clubs, being the result of many seasons' hard sailing 

 and practical tests. Copies may be obtained of the publishers, Har- 

 mon A Sods, St. Martin's lane, Londo:i, England, their price being 

 1 shilling each or 9 shillings per dozen.

 thorough overhauling. Rajah, Commodore Beecher, and Zephyr, 

 Vice-Pommodore Dudley, are in fine condition^ The club list includes 

 the Wild Duck, Alexander Lutz, whose spars and canvas have been 

 increased this year; the Ceres, J. H. Parrishf Thistle, Mr. Zeigler;

 citing feature of this yeor's work will be the ocean race around Block 

 Island, the date for which is not yet decided on. 



YACHTING AT SALEM.— Edit or Forest and Stream: Yachting 

 matters are looking up just now. Capt. J. W. Collins, of the U.S. 

 Fish Commission, U now at his home in Gloucester, where I believe 

 he is to superintend the building of a schooner after ideas of bis own, 

 one good point of which will be an honest under- water body. Being 

 a thoroughly practical man, we shall watch developements with 

 interest. When completed I think she will be used to further advance 

 the most efficient work of the Fish Commission.— X. Y. Z 



SILVIE.— The new canvas of the Silvie. schooner. Com. C. V. 

 Whitten, Hull Y. C, will measure 5,948ft,, divided as follows: Main- 

 sail. 2,122ft.; foresail, 1,085ft.: jib, b72ft.; lining jib. 630ft.: staysail, 

 59hft. ; topsail, S41ft. This area is more by l,690}£ft. than her old jib 

 and mai> sail when sloop rigged. Her new topmasts are 38J^ and 37. 

 As already noticed, she has had her deck sheathed and many altera- 

 tions made below. 



QUINCY Y. C— All the dates for the club and championship 

 matches of this club have been settled upon, and the racing courses 

 have been laid out nearer the shore, so that the entire course is in 

 view of the spectators. Another innovation is the adoption of the 

 flying start instead of a start from anchor. The membership has 

 lately been increased to 14. 



LARCHMONT Y. C— The season at Larchmont was opened on May 

 2, when the first monthly meeting was held, a number of members 

 being present. Sixteen new names were added to the roll.

The "Mayer" Minnow Casting and Trolling Rod. 



This rod is made from specifications furnished by Professor Alfred M. Mayer, who with this rod and an lmbrie Black Bass Reel 

 won first prize for black bass casting at the tournament of the National Rod and Reel Association, Oct. 23, 1884. 



Its proportions were reached after a long series of experiments, the object of which was to obtain a round section bamboo rod of 

 about 9 ounces that would feel light in the hand, be so well balanced not to throw off a delicately mouthed minnow in making long cast3, and 

 finally after striking the bass would have enough spring and flexibility to afford the angler the same pleasure as that given him when 

 playing a bass on a fly rod. 



The rod has two tips, one 6 inches shorter than the other; the shorter tip is used for trolling and in casting when wading. 



This rod has been thoroughly tested in both lakes and quick water, and anglers who have used it are unqualified in praises of its 

 staunchness and the delicacy of its action. 



Our rods have taken the highest prize at every tournament in which they have been used.
