SMALL YACHTS. 



Their Design and Construction, Exemplified by the 

 Ruling Types of Modern Practice. 



The FoTiEST and Stream Publishinc4 Company takes pleasure in announcing the publication of a magnificent quarto volume, bearing the above title. This book covers the 

 field of Small Yachts, with special regard to their design, construction, equipment and keep. The opening chapters are devoted to a consideration of the model and the draft, their 

 relations to one another, and the purposes which they subserve. Full directions are given for producing the plans of a yacht with reference to the chief points in design, and the method 

 of taking off the lines of a boat already built is likewise described in detail. 



All elements entermgiuto design, such as Resistance, Stability. Balance of Rig, Handiness, Displacement, etc., are dealt with in separate chapters. The rules necessary for the 

 mathematical computations, and a review of theory and practice close the first division of the book. 



The second portion comprises the description of the Plates, covering the whole range of type in small yachts, from the shoal catboat and American centerboard sloop to examples 

 of the narrowest and deepest British cutter yet built. These yachts have their lines, build and fittings depicted in the Plates, which are drawn to scale. With their aid and the specifi- 

 cations presented, the reader is placed in possession of accurate information concerning the mould, accommodations, rig and characteristics of all styles of yachts which have received 

 favorable recognition. Sporting boats, combination row and sailboats, and various examples of special form are introduced. 



The third division offers a comprehensive review of single-hand sailinff, to which small yachts are especially adapted. Directions are given as a guide in selection of type and sail 

 plan, and subsequent equipment and proper management. 



The iron work of yachts, their gear, yawls, stearing apparatus, boat building and much other closely related matter is entered upon. The new I nternational Rules of the Road, 

 Signal Service, and a bibliography appear in the Appendix. 



The work is profusely and handsomely illustrated with 150 illustrations inserted in the text, besides the sixty -three plates as follows:

DOG TRAINING. 



BY S. T. HAMMOND. 



HE was a promising puppy, and when you turned him over 

 to the breaker to be educated, you thought he was 

 bound to make "the best dog in the world." And you'll not 

 soon forget how disappointed and disgusted you were when 

 the dog, the breaker and the big bill— aU three turned up 

 together, and you saw that the animal's spirit was broken 

 and It would take a steam calliope to make him mind. Now, 

 this could not have happened if you had been wise enough to 

 buy a copy of Hammond's book, and in your odd leisure 

 moments train the dog yourself instead of having him 

 broken by some one else. We are selling edition after edition 

 of this book, and it is revolutionizing the system of preparing 

 dogs for work in the field. Price $1.00.

ANGLING TALKS. 



BY GEORGE DAWSON. 

 S a political writer of conceded power, Mr. Dawsoo 



wielded a trenchant pen; when he terned from the 



conflict of parties to the praise of the favorite pastirae of 

 "simple wise men," his essays, limpid as the crystal streams, 

 are aglow with the soft summer sunlight and melodious with 

 the songs of birds. When angUng was the theme, he wrote 

 from a full heart and in closest sympathy with the scenes and 

 pursuits described. These "Talks" are brimful of manly, 

 wholesome sentiment; there is in them all not a particle of 

 cant. Their sincerity and overflowing spirit at once win the 

 reader, and he perforce shares the author's enthusiasm. The- 

 effect is magical, like that of the mimic players in Xenophon'S' 

 Memorabilia: he who reads, if he be an. angler, must go 

 a-fishing; and if he be not, straightway then must he become 

 one.— Extract from Publishers' Preface. Cloth, price 50 cents, 



CANOE "AURORA." 



BY DR. C. A. NEIDE. 



A CHARMINGLY written and always entertaining account 

 of a canoe cruise from Lake George, New York, down 

 the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to the Gulf of Mexico, by the 

 Secretary of the American Canoe Association. To read the 

 cruise of the "Aurora" is the next best thing to having made 

 it; and the reading is decidedly more pleasant than would 

 have been participation in some of the misadventures related.
