BUFFALO C. C, 



THE last race of tuis club was sailed Sept. 5. from the canoe house 

 to Townsend's. on the west side of Grand Island, just below the 

 Falcoawood Club House. The wind was dead ahead as usual, and 

 blowing rather brisk at times, dying out entirely before the last 

 canoe finished. No topsails or jibs were carried on this day, as they 

 would have been of no advantuge in working to windward. Elf 

 carried his cruising lugs, for he had none larger, and as formerly 

 was left far in the rear. Helene was unfortunately absent, which 

 caused many expression* of regret, for she was the favorite with 

 many for second pnze. Otter and Nellie kept very close together all 

 through the race, except on the last port tack, when Nellie made the 

 dock without altering her course, while Otter was obliged to come 

 about to clear an obstruction. 



The order of the canoes as they finished was as follows: Nellie, F. 

 E. Wood; Otter, William Lansing; Elf, E. L. French. The first prize 

 of the series was won by Mr. Lansing with a score of eleven. The 

 second by Mr. Wood -n ith nine points to his credit. The third by Mr. 

 Campbell, who secured five points, although entered in only two 

 races. The paddling lace did not occur, as the regatta committee 

 have not seen or heard from the paddle wnich was offered as a 

 prize some time ago. 



THE REGATTA COMMITTEE FOR 1886.-Com. Rathbun has

LAKE ST. LOUIS C. C. ANNUAL REGATTA. 



THE first regatta of this young and flourishing club was held on 

 Aug. 29 at Lachine, Canada, in the presence of a large number 

 of spectators. The events were as follows : 



1. Sailing race, course one mile and a half with turn. B. W. Rich- 

 ards, Commodore Brockville Club, W.Barry, W. Girdwood, St. Anne's.

 St. Anne's. Shaw and Shearwood paddled in their new racer, which 

 they received a few days ago. Johnston and Chrysler used double 

 paddles in a very fast canoe, while Auldjo and Howard found it 

 impossible to use their new racer, not being able to sit her, it only 

 having arrived on Saturday morning, and had to use their English 

 canoe. The Girdwood brothers also used their English canoe. The 

 four canoes got into line. The latter had the advantage if anything. 

 For a quarter of a mile neither crew gained any advantage on the 

 others, but shortly after this point, Shaw and Shearwood gradually 

 drew away, and at the tm'ning buoy led by about two lengths, and 

 came home winners by about four lengths. The cheers and shouts 

 were deafening a? Shaw and Shearwood came in, and at the presen- 

 tation of prizes in the evening, three hearty cheers were given for 

 the winners of th» "ChaUenge Cup."

7. Boys' race, single, under 18 years, half mile, three entries, G. 

 Barry, W. Harrison, F. W^ Stewart. From the start to the turning 

 buoy Barry and Stewart kept on about equal terms. Stewart, who 

 had the_ new racer, and had never sat in her before, was making 

 strong efforts to overtake Barry, w^hen he suddenly upset. But for 



this he would have taken second place. Barry first, Harrison second .

IW No Notice Taken of Anonymous Oorreapondents. 



G. E. R., Flemington, N. J.— Write to J. Adamson, Whippany, N. J. 



V. L. S.— The Connecticut law forbids the killing of high holders 

 and meadow larks except on shooter's own property. 



G. S. S., Middletown, N. Y.— Where can I get bethabara wood? 

 Ans. Write to our advertising dealers in fishing tackle. Some of 

 them import it. 



Skeptic, Oroveton, Tex.— 1. Have lived in Southwest Texas, where 

 quails are very abundant. They have no dews there, nor were 

 lyuere any streams or waterholes nearer than several miles. Do these 

 birds live wichout water, or do they go this distance for it? 3. Do 

 foxes ever climb trees? A man from Virginia tells us that some 

 time since, in his State, the hounds were after a fox. The fox ran by 

 him and climbed 30 feet up a perpendicular pme. He shot at the 

 fox and knocked him out, and the animal then climbed about the 

 same distance up another tree. Is the fellow lying or not? Ans. 1, 

 The birds do not live without water. • 2 We have recorded numerous 

 nstances of foxes climbing trees; it is not an uncommon occurrence.
