close fiddling it is rose nobles to dimes on the "crew" of the Nautilus. 

 It may be remarked that oil the Saturday preceding the Nautilus 

 beat the Pearl under very similar conditions of weather in an equally 

 decisive way, and she may therefore be regarded as the crack of the 

 Royal C. C." 



BROOKLYN 0. C. SECOND CHALLENGE CUP RACE.-On May 

 15 the second race for the Brooklyn C. C. challenge cup was sailed, 

 Minx being the challenging boat. A new course has been perma- 

 nently buoyed off Bay Ridge, where the club have now a permanent 

 location in the Atlantic Y. C. Basin, the course being triangular, half 

 a mile on each side. The wind was unsteady and squally from south- 

 east, with rain toward the latter part. The entries were: Guenn, Wm. 

 Whitlock, holder; Minx, M. V. Brokaw, challenger; Tip Top, R. J. 

 Wilkin; Evangeline, C. Y. R. Schuyler. A tug followed the race with 

 the time-keeper. With a free wind Minx led at first turn. Hauled 

 on the wind on the second leg Guenn pulled up, but soon carried 

 away the jaw of her boom, and had to retire. At the second mark 

 Minx led, with Evangeline second and Tip Top third, the latter with- 

 drawing after the first round. Evangeline finally finished first, but 

 not being sailed by her owner she could not take the cup, which goes 

 to Minx. Juanita, Mr. Sinclair, sailed over with the races, but being 

 outside the limits, 16x48, she could not compete for the cup,

CLUB MEASURERS— PRIZE FLAGS.-Oswego, N. Y., May 10.- 

 Editov Forest and Stream: The Regatta Committee desire, through 

 your paper, to call the attention of all canoe clubs to the fact that 

 very few of them have sent in the names of their official measurers. 

 As it is desirable to save time and trouble at our meet in August by 

 having canoes measured beforehand, I have to request measurers 

 who have blanks to send me the measurements of all A. C. A. canoes 

 in their clubs. Those not having blanks will be furnished them upon 

 application to me. I desire also to call the attention of all canoeists 

 or those interested in canoeing to the fact that we have not had as 

 liberal a response to our request for flags to be given as prizes as was 

 expected.— J. B. McMurrich, Chairman Reg. Com. 1886.

tSW No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



W. H. C, Richmond, Va.— We have no picture of the dog men- 

 tioned. 



S. M., Brooklyn — There is much game and fish in the Puget Sound 

 country. There are no hostile Indians there. 



H. C. M.— Jacking deer in New York State is permitted in season 

 The Governor has signed the bill permitting hounding. 



O. E. B.. Fall River, Mass.— We do not know of any dealer in 

 feathers for fly making. The tackle men, no doubt, get their supplies 

 from various sources. Some are obtained from dealers in game. 



H. J. B., Hamilton, Canada.— Can you inform me how salmon roe 

 is kept preserved or made up for use as a bait for fishing? It is (or 

 used to be) for sale in England, but I am not aware that it can be 

 procured in this country. Ans. It is not on sale in America and is 



not used that we know of. We think it is merely salted. Its use in 

 England is looked upon as a species of poaching. 



C. P. R.— I have a pair of puppies which I am determined to break 

 myself this fall. What work wou Id you recommend me to get from 

 which to get advice and points? Ans. Hammond's " Training vs. 

 Breaking" is the best book. 



W. H. B., Gloversville, N. Y.— What is the best way to keep trout 

 for two or three days while in the wood without ice? Ans. Clean 

 them and wipe them dry and sprinkle them inside and out with either 

 coffee, sugar, or pepper, or a mixture of all. Wrap each fish sepa- 

 rately and keep in the coolest place. 



Reader, Please nlville, Pa.— Please inform me when is the proper 

 time to dock a setter's tail to avoid being whipped off in brush shoot- 

 ing? Ans. A setter's tail should never be docked unless absolutely 

 necessary to save the animal from suffering. In such case it may be 

 done at any time. 



J. E. J., Waterbury, Conn.— You should visit some fishery where 

 trout are raised and see the ponds. Go to Plymouth, Mass., to Ply- 

 mouth, N. H., or to the New York State hatchery at Cold Spring 

 Harbor, Long Island. In this way you can learn more than in any 

 other. We can send you "Domesticated Trout," by L. Stone, for $2, 

 or "Practical Trout Culture," by Dr. Slack, for $1, 



M. M. O, Corning, N. Y.— What is the best-sized hook to have trout 

 flies tied on, the flies to be used in streams of Northern Pennsylvania 

 and Southern New York, for trout one-quarter to one pound weight? 

 Ans. This is, within certain limhs, a question of taste or judgment. 

 Most anglers prefer a hook as large as a No. 4 sproat, and a few like 

 them as small as a No. 12. A medium would be a No. 6 or a No. 8, 

 We like to use small hooks, and if the water is clear enough to per- 

 mit a small fly to be seen, they are most killing on many streams. 

 A general rule is large flies for Maine and small ones for New York; 

 but many Adirondack fishermen use large flies, and believe them to 

 be the most killing.

This cut shows No. 1-0 (or Black Bass size) with living Minnow attached. 

 MANUFACTURED IN ALL SIZES FROM No. 5-0 TO No. 4, SUITABLE FOR 



Muskallonge, Pickerel, Black Bass, Lake Trout, Etc., Etc. 



All have patent treble hook with baiting needle, adjustable lip hook and treble swivel, and best silk metal wound gimp. 



This is the most ingenious invention and radical improvement in trolling tackle yet made. Its manifest superiority to all gangs now in use is evident 

 to every expert angler. A few of its peculiar excellencies are:— It is the only gang on which a bait can live. It is the only gang which can be adjusted to 

 any sized minnow instantly and perfectly. It is not only the simplest but also the strongest gang made. It does not scare away the big and wary fish by a 

 long array of treble heoks. The treble swivel insures perfect revolution of bait and reduces to the lowest possible point the liability of kinking th» line.
