port, and the Surprise, of Trenton. At Kingston, on the 7th, ex-Com- 

 modore R. .T. Bell's well known sloop Korah will he added to the 

 racers in the lirpt class, and here on rhe 13th the cuttor Sylvia will 

 make another addition to the second class. Tne circuit will wind up 

 here, let tis hope, in a blaze of glory. 



The only race of the season so far was a little affair over a 3 mile 

 course here on the 22d Inst. The wind was very light. There were 

 three starters, raraeiy, lolanthe, Gracte and Surprise, of Trenton. 

 The race was sailed without time allowance, and the lolanthe won 

 by 2miji. 89sec., while the Gracie beat Surprise by 16sec. Neither of 

 the cuttfr craft was ia racing trim. 



The Gracie, winch was rebuilt and remodeled last year, appears to 

 have been considerably improved. The cutter Sylvia, w^hich lias also 

 been rebuilt, promise.s'to be more speedy than heretofore. Her meet- 

 ing with the otiier craft, and especially with Commodore Mott's 

 (Oswego Y. C.) cutter Cricket, will be looked forward to with inter- 

 est. Meantime all the lake yachtsmen are deeply interested in the 

 cutter Geuesta, and look to your columns for full information as to 

 her doings. Port Tack.

GREENWICH Y. C, JULY 27. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The following-named yachts started in the Greenwich Y. G. re- 

 gatta on the S-'ith inst., at 11:30 A. M.: Class 11., sloops Nymph, Adel- 

 ina and Eleanor. The last-named being of the Oyster Bay Corinthian 

 Club, present by invitation. Class II., catboats 17ft. long and over, 

 Brahmin, Zelda, Wanda, Telephone. Class III., catboats under 17£t., 

 Jennie, Flirt, Louie Belle. The coui-se sailed was for Class I. and II. , 

 from Greenwich Harbor to Matinicock Point and return. For Class 

 III., starting from the same place to make the circuit of the Captain's 

 Islands twice. 



The start was fine, and very pretty work was shown for about an 

 hour, when a squall sti-uck the fleet with great violence. Nymph's 

 topmast was carried away and throat halliards parted. Adelina tried 

 to carry sail too long and finally had to cut halliards to lower sail 

 (piick enough when the wind struck her. Telephone parted peak 

 halliards. Zelda took in all sad and came to anchor. Jennie had 

 already run to shelter. Flirt anchored in lee of Captain's Island. 

 Brahmin kept on her course under shortened sail, and Wanda never 

 flinching carried all her canvas right through the blow. Zelda soon 

 followed Brahmin, having reefed down closely, and as the squall 

 cleared away they found themselves in the wake of Eleanor, all run- 

 ning down to Matinicock buoy right in the teeth of a roaring south- 

 west gale, such as craft of their kind do not often venture to face. 



Wanda had been blown two miles off her course. Adelina, on the 

 approach of a second squall, hove to, so there were but three left in 

 the race. The running of Brahmin and Zelda was, however, of so 

 exciting a nature as to atone for the absence of the rest. Commo- 

 dore Rendle shook the reefs out of Brahmin's sail right in the face 

 of the squall and rushed down toward the buoy like an express train. 



while Capt. Asten did the same for the Zelda, and gradually gained 

 not only on Brahmin but on Eleanor. Those who witnessed the raoe 

 were much surprised at the plucky sailing of the two catboats. The 

 finish was as follows: 



Elap.sed. Corrected. 



Eleanor.... 4 44 29 4 43 37 



Zelda 4 47 (.5 4 40 i3 



Brahmin 4 47 38 4 47 38 



Adelina and Wanda both finished an hour later. Louie Belle was 

 the only one to finish in her class. Thus ended the regatta of the 

 youngest yacht club on the Sound. The judges were Messrs. J. W. 

 Miley and John M. Tracy. Landsman.

GANOEI HANDLING. 



By C. B. VAUX ("DOT"). 



A complete manual for the management of a canoe. The author begins at the very 

 beginning, describes and explains the rudiments in the simplest and plainest way possible. 

 Everything is made intelligible for beginners; and besides this ABC teaching there are so 

 many hints and wrinkles that the oldest canoeist afloat will find pleasure and profit in the 

 study of these. The book is complete and concise— no useless duffle between its covers. The 

 subjects treated are the choice of a canoe, paddHng, sailing, care of the canoe, recipes and 

 rtiles. The text is further elucidated by numerous practical drawings, and the beauty of the 

 book is enhanced by the many ornamental vignettes. Pages 168; uniform with "Canoe 

 Building." Price, postpaid, §1.00.
