The keel cutter Enterprise wins the Livingston Memorial Prize 

 in Class 5, for best elaused time. On the first half of the course 

 Gravling beat Miranda by 36m., but over the second half Miran- 

 da beat Grayling by 25m., the figures in either case being of little 

 value, owing to the fluky weather. Hildegarde sailed very well, 

 being with Grayling and Shamrock all day and getting much the 

 same wind and tide as they. The keel cutter Pappoose was not in 

 the same class with the new centerborder Eurybia, but she is 

 only one foot longer. A comparison of the times show that she 

 heat Eurybia by over 13m., wliile the old centerboards, larger and 

 smaller, that sailed the same course with her, were all badly 

 beaten. In the two classes between 30 to 46ft. the leading boats, 

 Pappoose, Banshee and Eurybia, are all of large displacement 

 and with outside lead, while the last in the race were the old 

 boats of light displacement and inside ballast, and this in the 

 lightest of flukv weather. 



The race was managed by Messrs. G. W, McNulty, J. T. Van 

 Wyck and J. H. Gielow, in whose hands everything passed off 

 well. Next Thursday the New York Y. C. regatta will be sailed, 

 and on Saturday, June 23, the Seawanhaka Corinthian. 



THE AMERICAN Y. C.'s new club house will be formally 

 opened at Rye, Milton Point, N. Y., next Saturday.

HARLEM Y. C— The opening regatta of this club on June 12 

 was spoiled by lack of wind. The result was not known up to the 

 time of goingjto press, but there was probably no race made. 

 Twenty-seven yachts started in the morning. 



THE NEW YORK STATE CANALS.— Capt. Howard Patterson 

 is now on a cruise on the Erie and Oswego canals in the steam 

 yacht Skylark collecting information concerning these water- 

 ways. 



Jb., New York.— We know of no one who trains spaniels. 



C. H. M.— For map write to Colton Bros., William street. New 

 York. 



W. J. M., New York.— We will publish the desired list in our 

 game columns next week. 



A. E. D., Worcester, Mass —Flirt Warren is by Dash III. and 

 out of Matchless, she was whelped Feb. 12, 1884. 



B. S. T., Dorchester, Mass.— It is impossible to give a scale of 

 weights for puppies as health and food have much to do with 

 their growth. 



G. G., New York.— You will find in the Catskills ruffed grouse 

 in season and bears. There is excellent fishing for trout in many 

 of the streams. 



G. A. S., Beaver, Pa.— The hunting hatchet used and recom- 

 mended by "Nessmuk" and described in "Woodcraft" is a small 

 double-blade weighing; 18oz., handle included. 



W. E. H., Stamford, Conn.— For trout fry address one of your 

 Fish Commissioners, who are Dr. W. M. Hudson, Hartford; Hon. 

 R. G. Pike, Middletown, and James A. Bill, Lyme. 



Lo, Newfield, Me. — What kind of a bottom is required for a 

 trout pond, and also for white perch? Ans. — Trout need gravel to 

 spawn in, and also to rub themselves on, but will live over any- 

 thing, if the water is good. White perch will thrive over mud 

 but require weeds to spawn in, as their eggs are attached to weeds 

 near the surface. 



W. S., New York.— Where can I find good trout fishing within 

 six hours' ride from New York city? Ans. None that can be 

 called very good. There are some fair streams in Ulster and 

 Sullivan counties, or try the streams about Lacka waxen, on the 

 Erie Railway, or about Maunch Chunk, Pa. There is sometimes 

 fair trouting at Smithtown, Long Island, early in the season. 



U. U. C, Damariscotta, Me.— Where can I get mirror carp? 

 Ans. Write to E. G. Blackford, Fulton Market, New York, who 

 distributes carp for the U. S. Fish Commission in October. Be 

 sure to designate the kind you want, for the varieties come all 

 together and the applications are generally for "carp." It is 

 doubtful if these varieties will always breed true to kind, as they 

 are all from the same parent stock. 



J. M. C, Staunton, Va- Will you put me in communication 

 with some one who can give me information as to the culture of 

 frogs or is there any publication on the subject? Ans. Allaccouuts 

 of "frog farms" are mythical. No man has bred frogs for market 

 and in the present state of our knowledge it is impossible. He 



can breed and raise tadpoles in great quantities, but the young 

 frog feeds upon insects, which it catches on the wing. The ene- 

 mies of the frog are numerous, among them are large frogs, ducks, 

 fish and wading birds, both diurnal and nocturnal, and these, 

 without considering snakes and minor enemies, are enough to 

 prevent success unless they could be reared under cover and the 

 different sizes kept separate. 



W. G. F., Unity, Me.— What has become of the salmon in the 

 following instance? Nine years ago Winnecock Lake, in Unity, 

 was stocked by Commissioner Stilwell with black bass and land- 

 locked salmon, ten thousand fry of each. For the past three years 

 bass have been taken in abundance, but no salmon have been 

 seen. The lake is admirably adapted to salmon, having numer- 

 ous springs, and is fed by two large streams with rocky bottoms. 

 The former fish were pickerel and white perch, with occasionally 

 a large trout. Since the bass came to maturity the perch and 

 pickerel have decreased very rapidly. The lake covers an area 

 of about twenty square miles, bottom rocky and beaches sandy. 

 Do you think it possible the salmon still exist without being seen? 

 Ans. At this distance it is impossible to speak positively on this 

 subject. If the salmon are still there they should show up in the 

 spawning season. Look for them near the outlet of the lake in 

 the fall. 



L. J. Q., Carmel, N. Y.— Lake trout were put in Lake Glenada 

 about fifteen years ago, and have never been seen since. At the 

 same time they were placed in several lakes in Putnam county, 

 including Mahopac. This spring one of 9>&tbs. was found dead in 

 the latter lake. The water is very deep there, 100ft. in places, and 

 we would like to know what kind of a trolling spoon to use for 

 them, and what kind of bait to offer them when still-fishing. Can 

 you tell us? Ans. The dead trout is presumptive evidence that 

 there are living ones. Troll for them with any good spinning 

 spoon or minnow; weight it with from 2 to 2% ounces of lead and 

 let the boat move at the rate of three miles an hour. This, with 

 from 150 to 175ft. of line out, should let the lure down 50 to 60ft. 

 The fish will readily see the spoon at 20ft. above the bottom, and 

 you must gauge your sinker and speed by the depth at which you 

 wish to troll. If you bring up weeds you are trolling too deep 

 and must use less lead or more speed. This is a point on which 

 you must use your own judgment. For still-fishing take a boat 

 and sound tne depth of a chosen spot. Then anchor a buoy there 

 to mark it and scatter chopped minnows about it for two or three 

 days before fishing it. By this time the fish will have found it a 

 good feeding ground, and you can try them with alive minnow. 



Companion Wanted.— Philadelphia, Pa.— Wan ted, a companion 

 or two camping, hunting and fishing for health and pleasure in 

 Idaho, Washington Territory or British Columbia, to start about 

 the latter part of A ugust.— H. R. S., care Fohest and Stream. 



A Volapuk Dictionary.— C. N. Caspar, of Milwaukee, Wis., 

 announces the early appearance of a Volaphk-English and English- 

 Volaptik dictionary in two parts at the very moderate price of $2, 

 cloth $2.75. Judging from the sample page which we have re- 

 ceived with the prospectus, the new dictionary is the work of a 

 scholar, and indicating as it does the origin of the Volapuk roots, 

 will greatly facilitate the acquisition of the language. The only 

 Anglo- Volaplik dictionary now in the market was hurriedly pre- 

 pared by a Frenchman, who labored under the disadvantage of 

 having only a superficial knowledge of English.

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 



Dfuskallonge, 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 ean 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 limit the liability of kinking the line.
