QUAKER CITY Y. C, JUNE 18. 



THE thirteenth annual regatta of the Quaker City Y. C, which 

 was set down for June 18, will have to be resulted on account 

 of the yachts Hot making the race in the time limit of seven 

 hours, the leading boats crossing the line 12m. after the time had 

 expired. The day was faultless in all respects except the wind, 

 ■which was Light from W.S.W. For two hours during the race 

 there was almost a dead calm. Fourteen yachts were at the start- 

 ing point. The start was to be made at 10:30 A. M., hut the wind 

 was so light that, the regatta commit lee decided to wait until 11 

 o'clock, at which hour the starting gun was aped. It was a dead 

 beat to Marcus Hook, the 1 turning point, and even had the wind 

 held right as it was the race would have easily been made, hut 

 unfortunately it soon died out entirely, and sprang up too late to 

 enable the yachts to make the race. 



The regatta committee decided to resail the race on June 30, the 

 day the fleet start on their cruise to Trenton. 



The following is a summary. The elapsed and corrected time 

 was not calculated: Course— Starting between committee boat 

 and flagstaff on shore at Gloucester, to the Horse Shoe buoy, keep- 

 ing it on Starboard-; thence around a station boat off "Marcus 

 Hook, keeping it on port, returning over the same course to point 

 of starting, keeping to westward of Block House Bar and Chester 

 island, both going and returning.

EST No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



C. A. J.— We cannot refer you to any one who has live quail for 

 sale at this season. 



H. B. Southwest.— Emery dust will not injure the barrels, nor 

 will the heating. 



R. C. B., Madison, Wis.— 1. The weight must, depend largely 

 upon your build and the purposes for which the arm is desired. 



2. The tallow method is a good one. 3. The pistol grip affords a 

 better holding of the arm. 



One of Three.— 1. The locality named will afford good sport 



3. The rifle is heavy enough. 3. Write to Game Warden Wm. A. 

 Smith, Grand Rapids. 



J. E. L., Chicago, HI. — 1. What is the hest book on angling, for a 

 novice? 2. What is the best wood for a rod? 3. Isbethabara a 

 good wood and what is a fair price for a rod made of it? Ans. 1. 

 u Ths American Angler's Book," byNorris. 2. Ash, with lnncewood 

 tip. 3. Yes; §8 to SI 2, but this depends much upon the workman- 

 ship and the ferrules. 



M. L. D., Lancaster, Pa.— Please state what article or treatise, 

 if any, you can furnish me giving information upon frog raising, 

 and price of same. Ans. There is nothing published on frog cul- 

 ture. We have repeatedly said that frog culture was a delusion; 

 see answer in our last issue. 



C. B. S., New London, Conn.— 1. Will you kindly inform me 

 where and for what I can purchase alive genuine diamond-back 

 terrapin? 3. Would they breed in this climate? 1 have a pond 

 covering about one acre. 3. At what age will they lay eggs, and 

 how old must they be to attain normal size, i. c, about fi or Tin. 

 long on under shell? 4. Can you refer me to any work on this 



not say. 4. There is no publication on the subject. 5. We believe 

 that it has been tried in Chesapeake Bay, but with what success 

 we cannot, say. It is doubtful if the culture of terrapin can be 

 made profitable. If you try it, Ave would be glad to hear of the 

 result. 



J. C, Black Rock, Coun.— Can you tell me how to raise ferrets 

 and how to stop the mother from eating her young? Ans. Milk 

 is good food for the young ferrets and meat should be fed spar- 

 ingly, as it gives them some disease called "distemper." Once a 

 week is often enough to give meat, and then not in large quanti- 

 ties, until they are four months old. Perhaps a generous diet of 

 meat might cause the mother to stop eating the young, but this 

 does not always work, especially with an old one. If this does 

 not answer try a muzzle and feed her on milk, leaving the muz- 

 zle just loose enough to allow her to lap the milk. 



From the Editor's Sanctum.— When certain results of a desir- 

 able kind are being effected, it becomes a pleasing duty to invite 

 popular attention to the agency accomplishing these results. 

 Tins thought was suggested by the invariably good reports con- 

 stantly reaching us of the curative influences of Humphreys' 

 Homeopathic Veterinary Specifics. -These reports are from the 

 most responsible people, and in every instance may be considered 

 reliable. Time and space will permit us to quote but from one of 

 the many "open letters" received annually, that of W. P. Batch- 

 elor. Chief Clerk Dept. of State, in Raleigh, N. C, who writes 

 thus: "In November last 1 had an opport unity to test your vet- 

 erinary remedies upon the worst, case of chronic founder that I 

 ever saw. The experiment was absolutely sueeesslui. The ani- 

 mal is all right now and rapidly regaining the flesh lost during 

 hsr long illness. The cure is so remarkable t i,at if rav testimony 

 leads to the further adoption of your veterinary system I shaft 

 regard it of greater service to the public thai) to your company.'' 

 So they come by the hundreds. We know from personal experi- 

 ence that these remedies arc unequalled, and the free expression 

 of horse and stock owners throughout the country does not sur- 

 prise us. They possess true merit, and merit will win in spite of 

 prejudice or babbling. Humphreys' Veterinary Manual and price
