AN INGENIOUS TRANSFORiVrATIOlSr.-We noticed some lime 

 since a picture of Priscilla leading Puritan around the L.i^Iitsbip in 

 the (then) comins: trial races, painted by the eminent marine artist, 

 Mr. E^anklyn Bassford. Owinf^ to a combination of unforeseen 

 circumstances, the principal one being the extra speed of the Boi^ton 

 boat, the trial races did not terminate Just in the way expecteci, and 

 •whatever its artistic merit, the historical value of the picture was 

 somewhat impaired The artist, however, proved equal to the 

 occasion, and the picture now graces a Nassau street window, but in 

 a|new guise. The leading boat (Priscilla) now has housed her top- 

 mast, her sheer and overhang are greater, and a broad wliite bulwan? 

 has been added, changing her into Puritan. The other boat, less 

 plainly shown, has dropped her white coat for a Ijlack one, and with 

 verr slight alteration her stern does fairly well for Genesta. Of the 

 artistic merits of the painting we do not feel competent to speak, but 

 we can at least compliment Mr. Bassford on his ingenuity. 



THE DINNER TO SIR RICHARD BUTTON.— On Monday week the 

 New York Y. C. gave a dinner to Sir Richard Sutton, at the club 

 house on Madison avenue, the repast being served by Delmonico, in 

 the large model room of the club house. Sir William Levinge and 

 Mr. J. Beavor-Webb were also present, besides a number of the club 

 members. After dinner the various challenge cups were placed on 

 the tables, prominent aiuoug them being the Brenton's Reef and 

 Douglas Cups, which were presented to Sir Richard Sutton by Vice 

 Commodore Douglas, who presided. A number of speeches and 

 toasts followed, after which Sir Richard Sutton was unanimously 

 elected an honorary member. On Saturday both he and Sir William 

 Levinge sailed on the Etruria for Liverpool, ft! r. Beavor-Webb will 

 remain in New York for a few weeks. Those desiring to consult him 

 in regard to sailing or steam yachts can address him at No. 7 Bowling 

 Green, care of Anchor Line. 



PURITAN.— Col. C. J. Paine, of Nahant. owner of the schooner 

 Halcyon, is the purchaser of Pm-itan. Last Thursday she left New 

 York and towed through the Gate for Marblehead. On her arrival at 

 a A M. on Sunday she anchored quietly, but by daybreak her 

 presence was made known on shore, and by noon hundreds of people 

 from Salem, Beverly, Boston, Lynn, Swam pscott, Nahant, and all the 

 surrounding country were pouring into Marblehead on foot, in car- 

 riages and wagons, and in the horsecars. to see the victorious yacht. 

 On Monday night a huge bonfire was built on Bartoll's Head and the 

 town was enjoying a general jubilee. A dinner to Mr. Burgess and 

 the owners of "the Puritan will be given in Boston. Puritan will 

 winter between the bridges at Beverly, going out of commission at 

 once. 



LAID UP FOR THE SEASON.— The South Boston Inquirer ends 

 its yachting reports for the season as follows: Hurrah, Puritan 1 

 Hurrah, Burgess! Hiu-rah, Lawley! Hurrah, Crocker 1 Hurrah. 

 South Boston! Hurrah, Everybodj^l Hull Y. C. regatta to-day. The 

 yachting season is about over. Alter this date our yachting depart- 

 ment will be suspended for the season. 



A KEEL SLOOP FOR SALE.— In another column will be found an 

 advertisement of the sloop Albaire, a fast keel boat that has raced 

 very successfully in the South Boston Y. C. She will make a good boat 

 either for cruising or racing. 



A NEW MARINE GLASS.— A very convenient and powerful glass 

 has lately been introduced by Norie & Wilson, 156 Minories, London, 

 under the name of Regatta and Race glass. It is a 12 lense glass with 

 bending bar, fitting it to any width .between the eyes, and its compact 

 shape makes it easy to carry and allows it to be held steadily on 

 board a rqlling vessel. The price, including case, is three guineas in 

 England. 



LLOYDS.— We have received the first supplement to "Lloyds Yacht 

 Register," containing alterations and additions in the lists up to .luly 

 24, 1885. We have also received a very ha,ndsomely made book, the 

 "Annals of Lloyds Register," a history of the society from its found- 

 ation, which we will notice at length shortly. 



ACCIDENT TO THE PURITAN.— "That was a great gale yester- 

 day," said Captain Burtis. "I was surprised to hear how quickly the 

 yacht Puritan was knocked dowm." "Knocked down? I did not hear 

 of it," said hia surprised friend." "Yes, knocked down for $1.3,500. 

 An auction gale, you know."— JVefw York Herald. 



BEVERLY Y. C— The protest of Witch vs. Peri in Beverly Y. C, 

 second championship race, July 35. is not allowed. That of Peri vs. 

 Witch is allowed; this gives Fad first and Caprice second prize in 

 second class keels. Protest Niobe vs. Zantho m the lOtith regatta is 

 not allowed.

C. S. M.— To bark a squirrel is to strike the bark or limb on which 

 the squirrel is resting, in such a way that the shock of the concussion 

 wfi] kill it. 



F. P., Newark. N. J.— For the Sunday shooting law apply to the 

 New Jersey Fish and Game Protective Society, Geo. P. Suydam, 

 counsel, Plainfleld, N. J. 



B. G., Galveston.— Where and at what price can I obtain the con- 

 vey glass frames under which dead game is mounted. Ans. The 

 frames are made by H. E. Chubb, Cleveland, O. 



B. R , Penn Yan.— 1. In using a ..32-cal. rifle that is reamed for the 

 extra long carti-idge, could I, by using wads in the center fire shells, 

 shoot any amount of powder I hke? 2. How would round balls shooi 

 in a shell loaded in that way? 3. Would it be advisable to use patches 

 for either round or pointed balls? Ans. 1. You cannot get good 



sho'Sting with shells that are too short for the chambers. You may, 

 in the long shells, luit a thin wad over powder, then fill up as neces- 

 sary with bonedij'^t. 2. As good as round balls in any weapon, 3. 

 Yes, if properly applied.

R. II. D , Silver Cliff, Col.— I would like some information on the 

 making of trout ponds, raising trout, etc. You will greatly oblige 

 me and the neighborhood by sending me same. Ans. From your 

 question we think you want a volume on trout culture. In former 

 years we published many continued articles on this subject which 

 were of interest in the early days of fishculture, but would not be so 

 now. Get "Domesticated Trout," by Livingston Stone, price f2. We 

 can furnish it.
