FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 9, 1886, 



SH ON A—SHADOW. 

 rpHE races between Madge and Sliadow left the question so far 

 1, , J 5?oPP^i^ one tliat tlie friends of eacli yacht liave for five years 

 held different opinions on the matter. Perhaps a little light' may 

 he shed on the CLuestion by the race of Saturday at Marblehead, iii 

 which another Watson boat, this time a five-tonuer instead of a 

 ten met the bhadow and beat her squarely beyond doubt or ca-dl. 

 bhadow has been generally admitted to be the fastest boat of her 

 size and type m our waters, and her claim to this position cannot 

 be questioned, as Wave's and Schemer's was after their defeat. As 

 well-known she is a centerboard sloop 33ft. 6in. 1. w. ]., 14ft. 4.in 

 beam and 5ft. 4in. draft, ^vMle her rival, a thoroughbred cutter of 

 extreme type, is 33ft. 6in. 1. w. 1., 5ft. 9in. beam and over 6ft. draft, 

 bhadow IS 36ft. Sin. over all, while Shona is 43ft., hence the small 

 boat gives time to the large one under a rule of length plus 1-5 

 overhang. The little cutter, handled by John Barr, beat the fam- 

 ous sloop, sailed by Capt. Crocker, 4m. on even time, and under a 

 length and sail area rule would have made a far better showing. 



LARCHMONT Y. C, FALL PENNANT REG-ATTA.— On Sept. 

 4 the Larchmont Y. C. sailed the annual fall pennant regatta in a 

 strong S.E. wind over the clxib course, from Larchmont to Execu- 

 tion buoy, thence to Matinnlcock buoy, thence to Captain's Island 

 and back to finish, thence to Execution buoy, thence to finish for 

 Glass II., 23 miles. For the other classes from Matinnicock to 

 starting line, thence to Execution and back to finish, 17 miles. 

 Only 8 yachts started as follows:

THE CAPSIZE OF THE FROLIC.-Last week, when bound to 

 Marblehead, the yacht Frolic, lately sunk and raised in Boston 

 harbor, picked up a headless body, supposed to be that of a boy 

 who was lost from her when she sank. We have not yet learned 

 the previous history of this boat. Cannot some of our Boston 

 readers furnish it? 



THE GALATEA'S MONKEY is an expert sailor and "mans" the 

 yaids as well as the captain himself. Landswomen, "when they 

 call on Lieut, ajnd Mrs. Henn, do not know which the most to ad- 

 mire, this cute little beast, the shipshape saloon, or the curiosities 

 de voyage collected by Mrs. Henn and which she kindly exhibits 

 iZlV^2^''^^ monkey, however, is regarded as the 



gieat gun of all, but time will show if he is the mascot the sailors 

 think him when "mug" day arrives.— Boston Herald. 



"I AM Well and Strong and don't need to insure." Queer logic' 

 When you are sick and broken down you can't got insured. Now is 

 the time to msure-in the Travelers, of Hartford, Conn., best and 

 cheapest ot sound companies.—

 this fly, invented by Mr. Wakeman Holberton is unquestionably the greatest and most radical improvement in li^hing 

 tackle ever made. The chiet points of manife.st superiority of this method of tying flies over the old fashioned way are: 

 l9t— The wonderfully life-like and fluttering motion this fly has when moved on the water 

 2d— The fish is almost certain to be hooked if it touches the fly. 



^^1^^^ of the present favorite combinations of color and form can be tied in this way. Thus, those who believe 

 that fish are attracted by particular colors or forms of fly, can have their old patterns in the patent stvle 



4th-These flies not only offer less resistaiice to the wmd in casting, but more resistance to tHe water in drawing 

 Hence one can do as good work with a small hook tied this way as a large hook tied as before. Experience proves that 

 flies dressed this way can be tied on hooks two sizes smaller than one would use on old-fashioned flies 



. We take this me.ns of notifying dealers and fly-tyers that we shall prosecute any infringement of our rights under 

 this patent to the fullest extent of the law. Our course, m regard to the protection of our patents and copyrights is 

 known to some people. We assure such people that the same old course will still be pursued by this firm ' 



We add a few extracts selected from the numerous and unanimously complimentary press notices of this flv We 

 could add many letters from well-known and expert anglers if we were willing to drag tue names of private gentle- 

 men into our advertisements. Ob i:' ^ gClJUlC 



Scientific AmeriMin:: "men so arranged the wings offer less resistance to the air m cisting. As the fly is slowly drawn toward the aneler the wme^ 

 expand, and give it a fluitering, hfe-lite motion, much more alluring to the fish." s^uw.j/ uidwii uuwaru lae angier tne wings 



Forest and Stream: " * * * more hke a natural insect lhan the old patterns whose wings close when being drawn through the water 

 Great merit lies in its superior hooking qualities. A fish cannot nip at Ihe wings or tail, but swallows the hook before any part of the fly."
