CAPTAIN KENDALL'S CRUISE. 



NEW SMYRNA, Fla„ May 23.-Editwr Forest and Stream: This 

 9hould bo called Old Smyrna, for it is of a decidedly ancient 

 pattern, old houses and ruins do most abound. Made a big run 

 yesterday through a perfect wilderness of mud flats, over oyster 

 bars, narrow and intricate channels, etc., and the whole domin- 

 ated by the ever-present mosquito. 



The greatest novelty I can think of ie wo have have not seen a 

 bird hunter for two whole days. People who have not been 

 through this section ^an form no estimate of the extent to which 

 plumage birds have been slaughtered. We have met the hunters 

 everywhere, often two or three families living together, their 

 whole business being to get plumes for market. One man told 

 mo the other dnv that "it paid better than farming." Sa id he, "1 

 was out just nine clays last mouth and cleared $94. Got into a 

 big rookerv where the birds were nesting and shot all I could 

 handle." And so we find them on the whole of our cruise, all 

 bent on wiping out the plumage birds, and J guess t hey will do it. 



1 believe my last letter was written from Fort Lauderdale. We 

 left there on May 11, got as far as Hillsboro Inlet, headed off by 

 northeaster, ran in and worked up through to Lake BocaRatone, 

 where we made a portage of 30yd b., and on May I t we paddled up 

 to Lake Worth. Hillsboro Inlet is the place where Hamilton, the 

 mail carrier, was lost. Mr. Coman tells mo that he (Coman) found 

 the carrier's clothing and mail bag on the bank and his boat was 

 adrift on the other side of the river. He may have been eaten hy 

 sharks, he may have been drowned; no one knows any more than 

 this. 



Mosquitoes are far too many and I fear they may drive us out 

 vet. We shall complete the circuit of Florida at all events, what- 

 ever we do afterward. But. "I am tired now and sleepy too," so 

 I'll tell you about BocaRatone in my next. Tarpon. 



THE ATLANTIC DIVISION MEET. 



A MEETING of members of the Atlantic Division was hold in 

 New York on June 11, Vice-Corn. Stanton presiding. The 

 committee on camp site made a report, after which a motion was 

 made by Mr. Stephens to the effect that whereas it was uncertain 

 as to how many members could be depended on to attend the 

 meet, and any permanent camp must involve a large expense for 

 floats, steamboats, etc., owing to the difficulty of securing a, suita- 

 ble place within easy reach; that a cruising meet be held in the 

 waters about New York, Staten Island and Sandy Hook. This 

 motion was carried unanimously and vote was taken as to the 

 date, the decision finally boiug that the members should rendez- 

 vous at the Passaic River camp on Newark Bay near Bayonne on 

 July 4. and that, the cruise should start next day. The route pro- 

 posed is through Staten Island Sound to Raritan Bay, thonce to 

 the Shrewsbury River. Canoeists from the Delaware can come 

 by rail to Perth or South Amboy, or to Bayonne. Acommitt.ee 

 including Messrs. Stephens, N. Y, C. C, Cox, Essex C. C. and 

 Brokaw, Brooklyn C. C, was appointed to arrange the programme 

 for the cruise, which will be published as soon as possible. The 

 idea of a cruising meet was favorably received by all present, and 

 there is every indication that it will be a success. 



THE A. C. A. MEET. 



THE below named members are appointed a committee on 

 cruising arrangements and on competitions for cruising 

 canoes for the meet of 1888. They will prepare and publish a 

 programme and will award prizes. Special prizes offered by

LARCHMONT SPRING REGATTA, JUNE 9. 



THE first of the larger races was sailed successfully on Saturday 

 over the new courses of the Larchmont Y. C; the day, in spite 

 of the bad beginning, being all that could be desired. In the early 

 morning there was a dense fog and no wind, but about 11 A. M. 

 the breeze came in from the south, and for the rest of the day it 

 blew from about S.W. with force enough to make a good race, 

 while the fog soon cleared before it and left a warm aud delight- 

 ful June day. Unfortunately there were not entries enough, in 

 any one class to make a close race, while in several but one yacht 

 was entered, so that she was compelled to start in the class above, 

 assuming a handicap thereby. The regatta was open to neigh- 

 boring clubs, but in addition to the tegular prizes a pennant was 

 given to each yacht of the Larchmout Y. C. which won in her 

 class or sailed over in the event of uo competitor; this pennant to 

 he held subject to challenge during the season from other yachts 

 of the club. The starting line for all the courses was plainly 

 marked out in the harbor by two boats, each with a large club 

 flag, while a sloop carrying the same colors was stationed at each 

 of the other points. The first of these, at Hempstead Harbor, was j 

 turned by all classes; from there the large sloops went to a mark 



off Stamford Light, thence back to Hempstead and home, 27 miles; 

 the others turned a mark off Captain's island, from which point 

 the classes below No. 7 came directly home, making 16 miles, 

 while the schooners and the other classes of sloops turned Hemp- 

 stead mark again, making 20 miles. Tiie entries were: 



Class D— Schooner Clio, E. 0. Moffat, 72ft. sailing length. 



Class F— Schooners Agnes, J. L. Winslow, 57ft. 3in.; Leona, J. H. 

 Sterling, 49ft. 



Class 3— Sloops Shamrock, J. R. Maxwell, 71ft. 8in.; Fanny, Fiske 

 Bros., 03ft. liin.; Huron, Bloodgood & Kellv, 68ft. 10m., and Ana- 

 conda, J. G. Prague, 64ft. 3in. 



Class 6— Sloops Daphne, Com. Lowery, 48ft.; Adelaide. R. T. 

 Inman, !6ft, 2in., and Nymph, F. W. Flint, 45ft. 



Class 8— Sloops Euryhia, Com. Pryer, 36ft. lin.; Ariel, Dean 

 Bros., 31ft. flin. 



Class 9— Sloops Kangaroo, Franklin Beames, 27ft. 11 in.; Amazon, 

 Dr. Lewis, 26ft. 4in. 



Class 15— Cittboats Lorna, E. J. O 'Gorman, 24ft. 5in.; Shrew, R. 

 H. Chittenden, 25ft. 6in. 



Class 15-Catboats Fairy, F. Towle, 21 ft. 9in.; Olive, N. F. Noxon, 

 22ft. 8m. 



Class 16— Cathoats Kid, Barnard Thayer, 18ft. 7in.; Narriocli, 

 Lieut. Pitcher, 18ft. 6in. 



The above measurements are by the club rule, the length taken 

 parallel to the waterline and at a height of 2 per cent, of its 

 length above it. Anaconda and Nymph were each obliged to 

 enter a higher class at an increased measurement. It was ex- 

 pected that Pappoose would start, but she was on the ways at City 

 Island and did not get off in time. The now courses are very 

 much better than the old, but still it is impossible for one steamer 

 to time all the yachts at each turn, and in this race no attempt 

 was made to get the official times except at the start and finish. 

 In the future it will probably be arranged that a time keeper 

 will be stationed in each stakeboat. After some waiting in the 

 fog the tug B. T. Haviland came in with the cutter Huron in tow, 

 and soon started out to the line with the regatta committee. 

 Gradually the fog lifted, until when the preparatory gun was 

 fired at. 11:4nt promised to trouble the yachts no longer, and iu a

rock and her little sister. Daphne, led the line, with Nymph in 

 company with them. 



Spinaker booms were lowered to port as tlie fleet neared the 

 tnarkboat in Hempstead Harbor, and soon all were winged out 

 before a freshening breeze, and with a good ebb under them. 

 Shamrock, of course, led the procession, but Daphne hung closely 

 to her. Once round the mark Shamrock headed down the Sound 

 and drew away from Huion, her nearest rival, who thus far had 

 led Fanny some little way, but with sheets off the latter soon 

 passed her and held the second place. Shamrock managed to 

 carry her spinaker to port until well up to the second mark, but 

 the others all ran by the lee, and had to take in spinakors a nd 

 finally to jibe some time before the mark was readied, jibing a 

 second time at the mark. The third leg from Stamford Light, 

 and also from Captain's Island, was to windward, the fleet now 

 being well scattered. As they neared the Hempstead mark 

 Daphne was well in advance of the entire fleet, while. Nymph came 

 up at a rapid pace close in under the Long Island shore. The 

 boats came across to the finish with a beam wind, the little fel- 

 lows, from Captain's Island direct, finishing just ahead of the 

 others. The times were:

Though Shamrock was never hurried she sailed very fast, and 

 from all appearances has been improved by the alterations of the 

 winter, beating Fanny very easily. She divides the honors of the 

 day with Mr. Maxwell's other venture Daphne, now the flagship 

 of the Larchmont Y. C. The latter of 46ft. l.w.L beat the Ade- 

 laide, of the same length, by over 8m. Nymph, the new Burgess 

 boat, had no suitable competitor, but sailed very well with 

 Adelaide, being within 2m. of her time, thought nearly 7ft. 

 shorter. As the arrangements were all in the hands of the regu- 

 lar regatta committee, Messrs. Willard, Greacen and Scott, it is 

 needless to say that everything passed off well, without any 

 hitch or misunderstanding. 



The Larchmont Y. C. will offer prizes for a race of the 40ft. 

 class iu the fall regatta for the purpose of bringing together all 

 the boats in this class, and the presence of aU the new Boston 

 boats of Mr. Burgess's design has been promised. There will be 



enter with the rest, making as fine a representative fleet as has 

 ever been brought together on an American course. 



The following amendments were adopted by the L. Y. C. at a 

 meeting on June 2: 



"By-laws, Chapter X., regattas.— To be amended by substituting 

 the word 'spring' for the word 'pennant.' Chapter XL, prizes.— 

 Section 1 to be amended to read as follows: At all regattas a prize 

 shall be offered in each class, and in each class in which four or 

 more yachts start a. second prize shall be offered. And the chapter 

 to be further amended by adding to it the following two sections: 

 Section 3— The regatta committee shaU have power at any regatta 

 to offer iu any class a special prize for yachts originullv built be- 

 fore a certain date, which date shall he determined by the regatta 

 committee. Section 4— The regatta committee shall have power 

 to offer individual prizes for amateur members of a winning crew 

 in any special race. 



"Sailing rules, entries.— The last paragraph to be amended to 

 read as follows: At all regattas the flag officers and regatta com- 

 mittee may invite entries from such other yacht clubs as they 

 shall deem proper." 



SOUTHERN Y. C. REGATTA, JUNE 5. 



THE spring regatta of the Southern Y. C. was sailed on Juno 5 

 in a strong breeze, the starters being as follows: 

 Schooners— Frolic 37tt. 4iu„ Viola 37ft. Sin. 

 Cabin sloops— Zoe 31f t„ Susie B. 32ft., Stella 33ft. 4in. 

 Open sloops— i.udy Sarah 21ft. 9in. 



Catboats— Evelvn 27ft., St. John 26ft. Sin., Dora D. 28ft., Fatna 

 25ft,, Pansy 33ft., Minnie S. 19ft, Sin., Anna S. 25ft. 9in. 



Anna S. did not cross the line properly and was not timed. The 

 corrected times are: 



Viola 2 45 57 Lady Sarah 3 09 13 



Susie B 2 33 04 Evelyn 2 55 48 



Zoe 3 37 00 Fatna 2 .55 15 



Stella 2 50 31 Minnie S . ..3 14 53 



The St. John carried away her mast, Dora D. and Frolic col- 

 lided and both gave up, and Pansy tore her sail badly. 



The prizes were: For schooners, a pair of marine glasses, 

 specially imported; cruising sloops over 30ft., cruising rig, club 

 pennant and the historic S, Y. C. solid silver prize of 1853, pre- 

 sented by Mr. John Astredo: first-class sloops, clock, compass, 

 barometer and thermometer in stand; second-class sloops, silver 

 wine cooler; third-class sloops, clock and barometer; cat-rigged 

 boats, first prize 820, second 85. 



The officers of the day were: Judges, Alex. Brewster, Win. 

 Lynd, O. F. Yallette; Timers, H. Bonnabel, A. Mi Aucoin, Jos. 

 McNeil; Regatta Committee, C. L. DeFuentes, chairman, P. La- 

 bouisse, A. Brewster, J. M. Rourge, C. P. Richardson. 



A hop was given in the evening. 



The club fleet will soon receive a most important addition in 

 the shape of a new Burgess boat 50ft. over all. built in Boston for 

 Mr. Chas. Richardson, owner of the Susie B. She is built from 

 southern oak and cyprss, shipped to Boston for her. 



ROCHESTER Y. C. OPENING CRUISE. 



THE opening cruise of this club which occurred on May 29 was 

 a most successful event, and one which will long be remem- 

 bored by those who were fortunate enough to participate The 

 only thing to bo regretted was the absence of a good wind iu both 

 going and coming from Sodus Bay. The fleet started at 11 A M 

 under command of Commodore. Newell, all headed due north' 

 This course took them well out into the lake, and gave the fleet 

 an excellent opportunity to execute several naval maneuvers 

 which proved highly satisfactory. It was 4 P. M. before the 

 signal "sail at will" was given, when each yacht was pnt on her 

 course for Sodus Light, which was just visible. The wind was so 

 light that the yachts made very poor time, and the first to reach 

 port, the Florence, did nor, a rrive until 1 A. M. The rest came in 

 at intervals of a few minu tes, and all had arri ved at 3 A . M. The 

 Oswego fleet, also arrived at this time, accompanied by the cutter 

 Madge on her way to Rochester. The day was spent in the ex- 

 change of greetings between the Rochester and Oswego yachts- 

 men, and during the afternoon Commodore McFarlane, of the 

 oswego Y. (J., assisted by Commodore Newell, of the Rochester 

 Y. C, reviewed the fleet. The yachts of the Rochester fleet made 

 a very creditable appearance, and Commodore Newell is to be 

 congratulated, as it is largely due to his untiring efforts that the 

 club has attained its success. The yachts returned in groups of 

 three, or four and came into port in about the same order as they 

 left Sodus Bay. The new yacht Majel did not show as much speed 

 as was expected. She is no doubt a heavy-weather craft. Madge 

 was sailed with her smallest canvas, and in spite of Capt, Gould- 

 ing trying to hold her hack she outsailed both the Ella and 

 Crickett in the run from Oswego to Sodus. 



The Madge has been given tier trial trip under her new owners, 

 and proves herself worthy of all that has been said regarding her. 

 Her owners are more than pleased with her, and are only waiting 

 for a chance to try her with some of the favorites. 'The Merle 

 arrived from Oswego Saturday night, and Viee.-Com. Ames was 

 an interested guest on board the Madge Sunday. The first prac- 

 tice sail and drill will occur on Thursday, the 14th, and a goodly 

 number of the yachts are expected to participate. Ladies' day is 

 set down for the 21st inst,, and a most enjoyable time is antici- 

 pated. Tlie Majel has not distinguished herself so far as a, "flyer," 

 She will no doubt do good work in heavy weather, and is certainly 

 a handsome craft. —X. (June 11).

DEATH OF COM. HENRY CLAY FUNK —Editor Forest and 

 Stream: H. Clay Funk, commodore of the Corinthian Y. C, died 

 on May 35. His quick decision, firmness and self-reliance made 

 him eminently qualified to lead, and though then very young, he 

 fought in the rebellion to perpetuate the Union, with a spirit and 

 steadfastness akin to the patriots of '76. He was the pupil and 

 friend of that venerable yachtsman, Benjamin Wilkin. By strict 

 practical attention, and study of cause and effect applied to 

 matter in hand, he rapidly advanced in the mysteries and deep- 

 hidden secrets of the noble sport until he took his proper place ■ 

 among the best. He was not a professional, never having sailed 

 a race for pay. He accepted the position of commodore in the 

 Corintniau Club that the enthusiastic but untutored might 

 profit by his experience. He was a prominent and highly respected 

 member of the Quaker City Y. C. A proof of his prowess as a 

 yachtsman was given in the annual regatta of that club last year 

 when with a puroly Corinthian crew selected from the club of 

 which he was the head, he distanced every yacht in his class 

 (second) and closely contested first place in the race, Socially he 

 was a genial, whole-souled gentleman, as a friend, firm and un- 

 flinching; but it was in the home circle the real value of the man 

 was most felt, His death is not only a great loss to his family 

 aud friends, but to the yachting community.— Corinthian. 



COOPER'S POINT COR, Y. C.-The 5th race of the Corinthian 

 Y. C. was sailed on June 5, tlie regular race being postponed on ac- 

 count of the burial of H. Clay Funk, Commodore of the club. 

 The start was made from Cooper's Point at 2:26:30 P.M. The 

 course was to Horseshoe buoy and return. The following boats 

 were in line; first class— Humes, Fitch and Adonis: second class 

 —Item, Wilkins and Almond; third class— Cook and Anderson. 

 The Humes and Wilkins turned tlie lower buoy together, closely 



Anderson was not taken. The race was less spirited than usual 

 on account of the death of the club's most prominent member. 

 The wind was fresh from southwest and as much as the boats 

 could stand up under with full sail. The next race will be oyer

AN OLD-TIME SANDBAG RACE.— On June 7 a race was 

 sailed off the Mill Rock Cottage, foot of Ninety-second street. 

 East River, the prize being $20 in gold for the first and a silk pen- 

 nant for second. The course was a triangle of about one mile, ten 

 rounds, and the wind was strong from the north. The entries 

 were: Julia, 17ft, Urn., sailed by Alfred Wright; Jessie A„ 15ft. 

 9m., sailed by James Auld, and Triad, 16ft. Oin., sailed by William 

 Rogers. Before the start Triad capsized and Jessie A. carried 

 away her throat halliard block, and when both were finally ready 

 the skipper of the Julia had withdrawn his boat. At last the 

 Clipper, 13ft. 6in., was entered by W. Henry, and at 4:06 P. M- the 

 race was started. Clipper capsized during the race, while Jessie 

 A. twice was in trouble with her halliard block and once luffed 

 into a canal boat and parted her forestay. Triad won first prize 

 easily, but the others repaired all damages and sailed the race to 

 a finish, the times being:

 in the second class "duckers" from 42ft. to 52ft., and also a great 

 interest taken iu the third class "tuckups." These tuckups in 

 this class are undergoing a change of rig which is unlimited. 

 This class contains the champion boats of the Delaware River.
