LAUNCH OF THE SCHOONER ORIOLE.-On Aug, 7 the ■ae^r 

 Bohooner Oriole, built ior Mr. George Gooderham, of Toronto, 

 from designs by Mr. A. Cary Smith, was launched at Toronto. The 

 Oriole is 87ft. 6in. over all, 73ft. load waterline, 20ft. 3in. extreme 

 beam, 7ft. 9in. draft, 2ft. 9in. freeboard and lift. 6in. overhang aft. 

 On her keel are 18 tons of lead, with 17 inside. The headroom is 

 6ft. 2in. under deck beams. The room below is large and well ar- 

 ranged and the Oriole is the finest yacht of her rig on the lakes. 

 Most of the building was done under the supervision of J. J. Dris- 

 coll, of New York, who went to Toronto for that purpose. As the 

 schooner touched the water Miss Violet Gooderham, aged seven, 

 broke the wine over t]\e hows. 



BEVRRLY Y. C— The races of Aug. 7 and 14 were postponed to 

 Aug. 31. when the 112th and 113th regattas will be sailed. On Sept. 

 4 the ll4th regatta will be sailed, followed by the great open re- 

 gatta, 115th on tlie same day. 



SLOOP vs. cutter.— To those who while not thoroughly con- 

 versant with the technicalities of yachting, are still interested in 

 the great races soon to take place, and wsh to understand more 

 about the issues involved, we can recommend the little pamphlet 

 lately published by Vincent & Joy, New York, entitled "Sloop vs. 

 Cutter." The author explains clearly, by means of simple dia- 

 grams, the differences in hull and rig of the two classes, and a 

 short history of the races of last season are also appended, with 

 dimensions of the large boats of this year, making a very compact 

 and useful little handbook. 



A RACE AROUND BLOCK ISLAND.-On Aug. U a race was 

 sailed betwean two catboats, Puck, 27ft. long, and Lookout, 28ft., 

 over a course around Block Island._ Capt. "VV . T. Dodge sailed the 

 Puck and Capt. David Rose the ijookout. There was a strong 

 breeze and Lookout soon carried away her f orestay and later on 

 her gaff gave way. Puck won by 3m., her time being 2h, 28m. An- 

 other race will be sailed. 



A VERY LIGHT DRAFT LAUNCH.-Messrs. Chas. P. Wil- 

 lard & Co., of Chicago, have just completed for J. E. Porter. Esq., 

 Ottawa, 111., fcr use on the Illinois River above the head of navi- 

 gation, a twin screw launch 33ft. in length by 8ft. beam, which 

 draws, loaded, only 14in. of water; is fitted with a vertical steel 

 boiler, two 4}^X5 engines, and two 20in. propeller wheels, which 

 are only a little more than half submerged. The arrangement of 

 the machinery is rather exceptional, the engines being placed for- 

 ward of the boiler, and the propeller shafts passing on each side. 

 She is built on a guaranteed speed of 9 miles an hour when draw- 

 ing 14in. of water, and on trial fulfilled the conditions in every 

 particular. These liglit draft boats are extremely useful for hunt- 

 ing purposes, where they are compelled to run up little streams. 



YACHT RACES AT NE^rPORT.— The citizens of Newport have 

 subscribed nearly $2,000 to-\vard prizes for races to be sailed nest 

 month by the large yachts off that port. A committee has been 

 appointed to confer with the N. Y. Y. C. and arrange the dates and 

 course. 



THE SHREWSBURY RIVER.— On Aug. 13 the last race of the 

 series was sailed on the North Shrewsbury in a good south wind. 

 The winners were: Class I.— Etelka, F. Degraw; Nestle Nigh, Dr. 

 Boyd. Class H.— Little Spot, Ferman Smith; Ettie R., C. James. 

 The winners in the series of races are: Class I.— Etelka first, Nestle 

 Nigh second, Maud I. third prize. Class II.— Pern first, Little 

 Spot second. The champion pennant of the river was also sailed 

 for in the final race, being won by Red Head, J. P. Smith. 



THE CAPE MAY CUP.— On August 14, Irex and Genesta start- 

 ed for the Cape May Cup won by the latter last year. The full de- 

 tails of the race have not yet been received here, but Irex won 

 easily by four hours. The weather was light vnth calms. 



GEVALIA. — Mr. Winslow's schooner made her way to Boston 

 with a mainsail purchased from a fisherman, after her collision 

 vidthPriscilla at Newport. She is now at Lawley's for new goff 

 and boom, while Wheeler & Gurney are making a new mainsail. 



AN EXCITING CRUISE.-The schooner yacht Rambler has 

 been chartered by Mr. E. A. Buck for a month's cruise in which 

 he will be accompanied by Mr. Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry. 

 The yacht will he accompanied by a tugboat which will take her 

 in tow whenever desired. 



JERSEY CITY Y. C.-On Aug. 14 the Jersey City Y. C. fleet 

 sailed down the Bay with a party of ladies on board, returning to 

 the club house for a supper in the evening.

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 hve. 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 awa;^ the big and wary fish by a 

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