BRITISH CANOEING. 



AS Mr. Walter Stewart has challenged for the A. C. A. trophy 

 this year, all that relates to his new canoe Charm will he of 

 interest. The following from the Field shows that Charm won 

 very easily from a picked fleet of the R. C. C. on June 16: 



The annual race for the challenge cup was sailed for at Hendon 

 on Saturday' last, when eleven canoes entered and started. 

 Throughout the race Charm seemed much closer winded than any 

 of the other canoes, and at the conclusion of each round fetched 

 up from level with the upper set of railings to abreast of the buov, 

 while the others all had to make a board off the south shore. 

 Nina and Kitten both showed great improvement on tteir old 

 form, and Diamond ought to be well in front when her new owner 

 sets more used to her. Vanessa was going well when her rudder 

 carried away, and it is to be regretted that she did not have a 

 chance of sailing the race out. Nautilus will probably want some 

 beating when she. next appears under the balance lug rig, as her 

 owner expresses himself perfectly satisfied with the bilge plates. 

 The sail she carried in this race, however, evidently did not do 

 her justice. The new Atalanta was over-can vased, and it may be 

 doubted whether she can carry the 112sq. ft. allowed in the first 

 class; but with the 75sq. ft. allowed in the second class, for which 

 she was designed, she will probably make her mark. Sabrinakept 

 right side up, hut did not go as she ought to have done for some 

 unexplained reason. 



The race was officered by the mate, Mr. G. Herbert, and there 

 nviv: se veral members of the club and their friends down to wit- 

 ness the race.

The wind at the start was from N.E., with occasional strong 

 puffs, which proved too much for the stability of some of the 

 canoes. Nautilus and Charm, after watching each other closely 

 before gun-fire, trot over the line almost simultaneously; but Nau- 

 tilus, keeping well over to the south shore for breeze, soon got 

 clear of the ruck, and was first round the buoy in the bight, 

 followed by Vanessa and Charm, the others being all in a cluster. 

 After rounding, Atalanta capsized, and Vanessa carried away her 

 rudder, and bot h retired, as did Selene. It was a run down to W. 

 Buoy, and Nautilus kept the lead. In the turn to windward up 

 the lake Nautilus kept ahead, but Nina, Diamond and Charm 

 were pressing her very closely, Nina being abreast of her, but to 

 leeward, when she got on the railings, and hung for a short time. 

 Kitten had also done a good bit of sailing, and was only half a 

 mile astern of the leader at the end of the first round, which was 

 timed as under: 



Nautilus 3 43 30 Nina 3 44 30 



Diamond 3 43 40 Sabrina 3 45 80 



Charm 3 13 50 Illawarra 3 50 00 



Kitten 3 44 00 Severn 3 54 30 



In the second round Charm passed Nautilus, whose new sail did 

 not appear to stand well to windward, the upper half being in a 

 continual flutter. Diamond and Nina rounded together, 30 sec- 

 onds astern of Nautilus, Kitten being -1% minutes behind them. 

 In this round Severn capsized and Illawarra retired. In the suc- 

 ceeding rounds Charm increased her lead steadily, and Nautilus 

 gained on the others. A reference to the times of the various 

 rounds will show that an interesting race went on between Nina, 

 Diamond and Kitten, until Diamond capsized in the last round. 

 Charm finished the course at 5:45, winning the cup after a well- 

 sailed race by 12 minutes. The times of the various rounds were: 

 1st Round. 2d Round. 3d Bound. 4-th Round. Finish.

* Winner of cup and £5 presentation prize. 



The following description of the new Nautilus is also from the 

 Field of the preceding week: 



"The latest addition to the Royal C. C. put on Hendon Lake is 

 the Nautilus of '88, just launched, and as yet not completed in 

 her rigging. The new craft has been delayed, owing to her 

 owner's absence abroad just at the critical time of 'finishing, 

 rigging and fitting,' and it is doubtful if her proper racing sails 

 can be fitted in time for the challenge cup match of to-day. 



"However, she sailed her maiden race in good company on 

 Saturday last, under a suit of old sails rerigged for the occasion 

 and developed quite a high turn of speed, keeping easily ahead 

 from start to finish, and winning by about lm. 48s. 



"Her chief peculiarity is that she is fitted with 'bilge drop keels' 

 instead of the ordinary centerplate, and the practical working 

 result has in every way upheld the designer's anticipations and 

 demolished the criticism. The Nautilus is a comparatively small 

 canoe, her dimensions being: Length, 16ft.; beam, 30in.; depth 

 (gnrboard to gunwale), llin.; sheer, Tin. forward and 5in. aft. The 

 keel, as a keel, does not exist, as it is fashioned off exactly to the 

 slant or rise of the floors. She depends solely on her bilge drop 

 plate for prevention of lateral slip. 



"Her model is actually a cast hack to the form (but not dimen- 

 sions) of the Nautilus of 1879, a model of which is in the R. C. 

 Club room. By contracting the whole of the frames as to beam, 

 leaving the bilge and floor form intact, and so producing the 30in. 

 instead of 33%in., and by extra spacing of the frames so as to 

 obtain 16ft. instead of 13ft. 6in. length, a fine but comparatively 

 powerful model was produced. Some slight variation had to he 

 made in the disposition of the displacement in order to keep in 

 with the 'wave curve' 1 of displacement. 



"The internal arrangements of bulkheads and of hatchways has 



J .reduced accommodations for two men for sailing, for one for 

 ong cruising, and for one for sleeping. The space into which 

 water can find its way in a 'capsize' is owing to the bilge drop keel 

 eases forming water-tight boxes in each bilge, so smaU that, on 

 the canoe being righted, she would be in fair sailing condition, 

 very unlike the water-logged state of most canoes after a capsize. 

 The fore locker and the after locker are completely cut off from 

 the well or main compartment by water-tight bulkheads, and are 



got at through hatches on deck. She is intended to carry from 

 401bs. to 501bs. of ballast as equivalent to an ordinary load of cruis- 

 ing gear, such as tent, stores, clothes, etc. Her drop keels are of 

 the lightest make compatible with strength-?', r., J^in, saw steels. 



"The rig with which she will be raced on the cup dav will only 

 he on its trial, being novel in design, and quite unstreched. It 

 may be described as hoisting battened sprit sails, recfable and 

 lowerable. The sprit being run through a pocket or band on the 

 sail, is a far lighter spar than any yard could be; and the boom of 

 the spritsail not crossing the mast— as in the balance lug rig it 

 does— can be much lighter than a lug boom. The batten reefing 

 gear of the lug is maintained, and the whole sail hoists or lowers 

 with quite as much ease as the lug rig does. 



"There should be some very good racing, seeing the state of per- 

 fection to which many of the competitors have brought their 

 craft both in fitment and handling; and it would not be surpris- 

 ing to some of t he older hands who ha ve been looking on at the 

 past races, if the cup should again change hands this season, and 

 be won by one of the younger members. Notably well bandied 

 are the Vanessa and Diamoud. The Nina, about the most power- 

 ful of the fleet, and going quite in new style, would not be far off 

 being favorite if the piping breezes onlv blow hard enough. The 

 craft, however, about which there has been most talk, but least 

 seen, is the cream-colored Atalanta, which in her silver-fit ted 

 harness looks 'all there, but young, and perhaps skittish.' The 

 Charm, last, year's winner of the cup, has not so far sailed a match 

 this season, hence there is still more room for speculation.

QUAKER CITY Y. C. CRUISE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The Q. C. Y. C. has just completed one of the best events ever 

 ent ered on its log-book. Trenton, the capital of New Jersey, is 33 

 miles up the Delaware River, and heretofore considered impractic- 

 able for large yachts. There is, however, quite a fleet of small 

 craft owned there, and some of the most enthusiastic members of 

 the Q. C. Y. C. hail from that port. The yachting spirit, probably 

 on account of the difficulties of the sport here, reaches its highest 

 exponent so far as the Delaware River is concerned. Notwith- 

 standing the difficulties of navigation and loss of time necessary, 

 the Trenton contingent is always present at all Q. C. Y. C. event's, 

 and invariably carry home all the prizes in the small classes. 



A few months ago its members organized a local yacht club of 

 their own, in no wise antagonistic to the Q. O. Y. C, and it was 

 considered the proper thing for the parent cluh if possible to re- 

 turn them some of their numerous visits to us, so for the trip July 

 i to 5 was set apart. 



The yachts rendezvoused at Bordentown, heretofore the head of 

 yacht navigation, on June 30, at 4 P. M., the fleet consisting of the 

 flagship schooner Helen, Com. Chas. D. Middleton; sloops Mon- 

 arch, Vice-Corn. Chas. L. Work: Minerva, Rear-Corn. Wm. H. 

 Mickel; Consort, Capt. S. B. S. Barth; Osceola, Brereton Pratt; 

 Comfort, John H. Britton; Igidious, Chas. W. Glaser; Alva, Wm. 

 S. Allen; Gretchen, R. C. R. Binder, Jr.: Anita, Geo. Van Sant; 

 Nahma.F. P. Ferry; steam yachts Lillie, Geo. DeB. Keiin; Volanta, 

 Alfred Box; Vinita, Horace F. Smith. There was also a large 

 attendant fleet of small craft from Trenton and vicinity. Several 

 tugs and the steam yachts made fast to the fleet and at 7 P. M. 

 all anchored under Brewer's Bluff, from which a magnificent 

 view of the fleet was to be had. The sloops Monarch and Osceola 

 sailed up, as they desired a little additional credit. 



At 8 P. M. all the visitors as guests of the Trenton Y. C. were 

 invited to a banquet on the bluff, after which the yachts were 

 illuminated with Japanese lanterns, and cannon and fireworks 

 made noise and light until Sundav was ushered in. 



Sunday bright and early all of Trenton seemed to be down on 

 tho bluff. The fleet being a large and handsome one and consist- 

 ing of larger craft than had ever before visi ted the city created 

 considerable excitement. The newspapers devoted whole columns 

 to a description, with the result that all the curious part of the 

 town was there. The harbor was alive with boats, and as open 

 house was kept, crowds were constantly passing through the fleet 

 and examining it. It is estimated that not less than 2,000 people 

 were on board each of the larger yachts during the day. 



On Monday the fleet was dressed with bunting, and a repetition 

 was had of the crowds of the previous day, breaking the hearts 

 of the captains as tbey saw their holystoned decks being walked 

 over, often with hob-nailed boots. In the morning the guests 

 were conducted through the potteries and rolling mills, followed 

 by a banquet at the American House. In the afternoon the 

 Governor of New Jersey, mayor and city officials of Trenton in- 

 spected the fleet, In the evening the yachts were again illumin- 

 ated and cannon and fireworks once more boomed and flared.- 



On Tuesday morning the fleet started down the river and on the 

 morning of July 4 rendezvoused at Riverton, N. J., the guests of 

 the Riverton Y. C. The annual regatta of the R. Y. C. was held 



in the morning, after which a pleasant interchange of visits took 

 place. In the evening the yachts were, again illuminated, and when 

 the candles went out the fleet disbanded, each to return with 

 pleasant memories of one of the jolliest cruises on record. 



The Q. C. Y. C. fleet will cruiBe as far east as Newport this year, 

 and twelve craft have entered for it. Six left at 3 P. M. on Satur- 

 day for Atlantic City, where three more are lving. These will 

 stay there some time and early in August fhev will go up to New 

 York, where they will he joined by the smaller craft, which will 

 go through the canal, and take two weeks up the Sound. Those 

 leaving now are flagship Helen, schr., sloops Monarch, Consoi-t, 

 Anita, Comfort and Osceola. Those already in Atlantic City are 

 the sloops Vesper, W. II. Nickerson; A'initza, M. Colburn; and 

 Restless, Thomas Foster. The steam yacht Volanta is on a cruise 

 down the Cheasapeake. The sloop Minerva down the Delaware 

 Bay. The Eva (sloop) has just returned from Atlantic City. The 

 schooner Rebecca M. has just gone down to remain all summer 

 along the J ersey coast. C. L. Wo i; k . 



BOSTON CITY REGATTA, JULY 4. 



THE annual city regatta was sailed successfully at Boston on 

 July 4 in a strong S. W. breeze, the courses being: For first 

 and second classes, from judges' boat down West Way, leaving 

 Thompson's and Rainsford islands on starboard, Long and George 

 islands and Point Allerton Buoy No. 3 on port, and back through 

 Narrows, leaving Fort Warren, Gallonpe's Island and Nix's Mate 

 buoys on the port, Buoy No. 7, Castle Island on port, to flag boat 

 anchored off Marine Park pier, leaving it on port, passing between 

 j udges' steamer and flagboat; 15 miles. 



For third, fourth, fifth aud special classes, from judges' boat 

 to Cow Pasture Buoy No. 6 (off pumping station), leaving it on 

 port, to flagboat, southeast, leaving it on port, to Buoy No. 7, off 

 Fort Independence, leaving it on starboard, to Sculpin Ledge 

 Buoy, leaving it on port, to Buoy No. 6, lower middle, leaving it

 John Comerford, Edward F. Reilly, Homer Rogers, Edward J. 

 Powers, C. C. Powers. The judges were Messrs. M. J. Kiley, 

 chairman, and William Morris, D. G. Quirk, William B. McClen- 

 nan and F. H. Blaney. Many of the boats mistook the sailing 

 directions and sailed a wrong course, being obliged to return and 

 round the last buoy, off Marine Park pier. Shadow was timed, 

 but her owner discovered after the race that she had not turned 

 the last mark. 



PAPPOOSE AND BANSHEE. 



AFTER the conclusion of the Larchmont regatta Mr. P. S. 

 Pearsall, of the Banshee, challenged Messrs. Thayer ami 

 Simpkins, of the Pappoose, to a match over the same course for 

 $250 per side. Nymph also was allowed to enter, but her mast had 

 proved so weak that she sailed for Boston for a stronger and 

 longer one. Banshee is a compromise boat, 39ft. llin. l.w.l. and 

 41ft. 4in. sailing length, while Pappoose is a keel boat 36ft. llin. 

 l.w.l. and 39ft. 2in. sailing length. Banshee was again sailed by 

 Mr, Smith, and Pappoose by Capt. Nat Watson. The start was 

 given at 11:47, hut boih were handicapped trying to gain the best 

 position for the start, Pappoose going over at 11:51:45 and Banshee 

 at 11:52:33. The wind was light at first from S.W., blowing quite 

 hard at times later in the race, with calm spots between, while 

 rain fell at intervals. The Hempstead mark was timed: 



Pappoose 13 50 00 Banshee 12 52 14 



Jibing round, Pappoose set balloon jibtopsail, while Banshee 

 tried a spinaker, gaining on and passing t) s leader until the latter 

 also set a spinaker. The times at Captain's Island were: 



Banshee 1 49 57 Pappoose 1 50 16 



On the boat back to Hempstead the wind increased for a time, 

 hut finally fell. The times were: 



Banshee ...3 16 25 Pappoose 3 18 15 



The finish was made in a very light air, Pappoose catching a 

 stronger wind near the line which helped her along somewhat. 

 The times were: 



Start. Finish. Elapsed. Corrected. 



Pappoose 11 47 00 3 59 38 4 12 38 4 10 36 



Banshee 11 47 00 3 59 49 4 13 19 4 13 19 



BanBhee was handicapped by a poor fit of canvas, Pappoose hav- 

 ing much better sails. The match was timed by Messrs. Willard 

 and Greacen from the flagship Daphne.
