HULL Y. C. CRUISE.— The fourth annual club cruise, which started 

 on Jul.y 11, was hardly a success in point of numbers, as of the 13 

 yachts which started only the flagship arrived at Boothbay. On July 

 11. at 10:30, the Commodore reviewed the fleet fi-om the Silvie. the 

 following yachts passing in line: Sloop Hera, sloop Viking, Dr. L. D. 

 Shepard; sloop Cricket. C. F.Adams, 3d; schooner Dorothy Q., Ed- 

 mund Quincy: yawl White Cap, D. Hall Rice; schooner Vanitas, A. 

 S. Wattles; sloop Optic, G. S. Hutchinson; schooner Tempest, H. F. 

 Whittier, and steamers Annie S,, Fred Pope, and Barracuda, B. Frank 

 Dutton. Sailing for Marblehead in a light wind. White Cap was first 

 to pass the rock. Only five yachts reached Gloucester that night, and 

 at Portland on Tuesday only Silvie, Cricket and Viking were on hand. 

 The three contmued to the eastward, anchoring at night at Harps- 

 well, where the schooner Aida. flagship of the Jeffries Y. C , joined 

 them. Stopping at Herring Gut, they reached Rockland on Thursday 

 night, where the Tempest was at anchor. From here the Silvie con- 

 tinued alone to Bar Harbor, arriving at 5 P. M. on Friday. Spending 

 Satm-day night at North Haven and , Sunday at Boothbay, Silvie con- 

 tinued the cruise home alone. 



A CRUISE ON LAKE ERIE.— The schooner Alarm, of the Buffalo 

 Y. C. left at 3 o'clock on Ju].y 26, for her annual cruise up Lake Erie. 

 She will touch at Port Colborne, Port Maitland, Port Dover, Long 

 Point, Erie and possibly Cleveland. The following erentlemen are on 

 board: Commodore J. S. Provoost, Capt. Harry D. Wilhams, J. E. 

 Bergtold, Andrew E. Latz and George Robinson. 



. JURY OR ORLHSING RIGS.-JS;d«or Forest and Stream: In your 

 issue of July 16 a correspondent, signing himself "B.," takes excep- 

 tion to the Genesta crossing under a ,iury rig. Without going into the 

 iiuestion of the character of this so-called jury rig and asking whether 

 nought not rather to be called a cruising rig, as distinct from her 

 racing fit out, I woidd merely remind "B." that the America herself 

 crossed over (and that on an easterly passage, a very different affair 

 from going west, as a general rule) under what he would be pleased 

 to term a jm\y rig, and shipped her big spars ib a French port. Com- 

 ment is needless.- Henry E. Bayly (Exmouth, July 29). 



CLARA IN PORT.— After a passage of 39 days from England, the 

 20-ton cutter Clara arrived at New York on Sunday night, and ran up 

 the North River, anchoring off pier 16, the skipper not Imowing the 

 harbor. She was built by Fife, of Fairlie. and is 9ft. wide and nearly 

 54ft. on waterlioe, with 20 tons outside. Clara is the first yacht of 

 her size and extreme type to cross the Atlantic, and though her pas- 

 sage was a long one, she carried her racing spars. She is now lying 

 off TompkinsviUe, and her crew are fitting her in racing shape. 



A TRAP CAPSIZED.— In the afternoon of Aug. 3. while it was 

 blowing heavily from the east, the open boat Three Brothers, of Com- 

 munipaw, capsized off" the New Jersey shore, fifteen men and boys 

 being thrown into the water. All were rescued bv an oyster boat. 

 The same afternoon a sailboat, with two boys and two girls aboard, 

 was capsized off Bedloe's Island, all beiog rescued bv Officer Ganley. 

 The boat was lost. ' 



CARMELITA.— The voyage of this yacht to San Francisco has been 

 stopped by a verj- sad accident. Last month, as the wife of her 

 owner, Mr. J. Y. Coleman, was unimcking a valise, a revolver fell out 

 and exiJloded, the ball killing her instantly. In consequence of this 

 calamity Mr. Coleman has ordered the yacht to return to New York 

 lor sale, while he will travel for some time in Europe. 



HUDSON Y. C. REGATTA.-The faU regatta of the Hudson Y. C. 

 takes place upon Sept. 15. The start and finish will be made off Oak 

 Point, and the course will be to and around Sands Point, a distance

 McAlister, J. W. Graff and R. F. Baxter. 



LYNN Y. C. CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHBS.-The Lynn Y. C. wil 

 sail three regattas on Aug. 14, 29, and Sept. 12. open to second and 

 third class yachts, the boat whining two out three to take the

 races wUl begin on Aug. 20, The com'se for each day has not yell 

 been announced.

 cruise on Aug. 24, to continue for one week. 



BRUNHILDE.— Mr. J. J. Phelps' schooner Brunhilde has arrived at 

 Cowes after a passage of 26 days. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



Kanuck— A letter for you at this office. 

 C. & H.— See Game Bag and Gun columns. 



J. W. T.— It is usedjwith satisfaction, and while we do net vouch 

 for it, it is probably all right. 



C. H. S,— The trigger pull is ascertained by force measured in 

 pounds. To determine it use a spring scale. 



M. L. A.— For open seasons see shotgun columns. Try the vicinity 

 of Meacham Lake. Write to A. B. Fuller at that address. 



W. H. G., Baltimore.— AVhat is the best baitfor German carp? Ans. 

 Boiled peas, worms, and a paste made of flour worked into wet cotton. 



E. F. P.. New York.— Where can I obtain the best bass fi.shing? 

 Ans. St. Clair Flats; Kelley's Island, Lake Erie; the St. Lawrence 

 River from Alexandria Bay up to Cape Vincent; Bice Lake, Ontario, 

 and Pelee Island, Lake Erie. 



N. W. A. St. Albans, Vt.— Does Norris, in his "American Angler's 

 Book," give descriptions of the standard salmon, bass and trout flies? 

 Ans. He gives descriptions of ilies for salmon and trout, but when he 

 wrote the black bass had not risen to its present importance as a 

 game fish, and few or none fished for it with the fly. 



T. W., Leesburg, V^a.— In "Nature's Serial Story," by E. P. Roe, one 

 of the characters says a gray eagle is a young bald eagle, and that 

 we have onl.y two specimens of genuine eagles in this country, the 

 bald and the golden or ring-tailed. Is this correct? Ans. Yes.' The 

 two eagles are the golden or ring-tailed {Aqidlu chrysaetus) a.uA tiu' 

 white-heaaed or bald {Balicetus leucocephulus) . The bald-headed 

 eagle is black-plumaged the first year, gray the second, and attains 

 the whiteness of head and tail only in the third year. 



The Troy Fox-Hunting Arena has proved a dea6 fail- 

 ure. The "American Gentleman" who got up the scheme 

 made a great mistake about the public appreciation of the 

 sport of chasing boxed foxes in an inclosure. If they are 

 still ambitious to provide a gory spectacle for the people, let 

 them tind some larger game. A circus company in New 

 Hampshire the other day found it no trouble to collect a 

 crowd of two thousand people to witness the shooting of 

 an elephant. Mr. Bergh is perfectly right when he claims 

 that the bull fight would prove popular in this country , 



Angling is becoming quite the correct thing for public 

 officials of high degree, whose vacations are given up to the 

 sport. Readers of the late George Dawson's "Angling 

 Talks," which were publislied in this journal, will not fail 

 to understand the charm that a trout or salmon stream has 

 for the weary maa of office.

THE FAIRY'' MINNOW. 



iMBRiE's Fairy 7. 



This is by far the best artificial minnow ever made. It 

 is a great improvement on the "Phantom," which has 

 long been considered the best of all minnows. When put 

 into the water it almost immediately becomes as soft as 

 velvet and as tough as leather, besides having the exact 

 appearance of a real minnow, even in the matter of 

 scales. Our Phantom has been imitated, and so, no 

 douljt, will this be. Anglers will find our name on every 

 box containing one of these minnows, and our well- 

 known trade mark on the card to which each muinow 

 is attached. 



The above minnow is No. 7. The following are the various sizes we keep in stock. 



• Nos. - - 4 5^ 6 7 8 9
