FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 12, 1888. 



THE KEEL AHEAD.— It seems now as though the sole interest 

 of the present, season was to be centered in the 40ft. class, and 

 that the racing will show a decided triumph for the keel craft. 

 The smallest of the keels, Pappoose, has disposed already of her 

 two New York rivals, and though Nvmnh may be improved by 

 the new rig she will get in Boston, and Banshee would be the 

 better for a new suit of canvas, it would seem from what Pap- 

 poose has done that neither has much show with larger, newer, 

 and presumably faster boats, such as Baboon and Xara. It is a 

 curious sequel to the attempt to popularize the largest class of 

 yachts, both schooners and singlestickers, that the racing is 

 virtually dead in all but the smallest classes, while in these it is 

 specially active. Some sport is promised for the Goelet Cup race. 

 Sea Fox, Grayling and Sachem have a score to settle, while 

 Shamrock and Katrina have yet to meet; but when the record of 

 the season is fully made up it will be seen that the big boats make 

 but a meagre displav and the honors will go to the winning boat 

 of the 40ft. class. 



SOME STATISTICS. — Editor' Forest and Stream:— The new club 

 book of the Corinthian Y. C, of Marblehead presents a remark- 

 able showing of the growth in popularity of cutters and keels. 

 Out of 18 yachts ranging from oO to 109£t., there are 12 keels and 

 only 6 centerboards, of the 12 keel boats, 9 are cutters. In the 

 next class 25 to 30ft. sailing length, tliere are 31 single stickers, of 

 which 2i are keels, and only 7 centerboards. Among the keels 

 are 11 cutters. In the class from 21 to 25ft. length, there are 27 

 single stickers, of these 18 are keels and only 9 centerboards. 

 Among the keels are 9 cutters. The last class from 16 to 21ft. in 

 eludes mainly catboats. Yet even among these 46 small crafts, 

 we find no less than 17 keels, among them 7 cutters. 36 cutters 

 and 71 keels in a single club! Who says cutters and keels are not 

 booming. At the present rate of increase, the centerboard will 

 soon be a thing of the past m such smart clubs as the Corinthian. 

 While we are abandoning the board in America, our cousin John 

 Bull is trying to take up our cast-off clothing as a new and meri- 

 torious idea.— Facts.

Warren Rawson, the well-known market gardener of Ar- 

 lington, has just returned from the Rangeley Lakes, where 

 he spent the last ten days fishing, and he has a fish story to 

 relate to his friends that assures him of an attentive audi- 

 ence anywhere. Hitherto the rule has been that it was the 

 biggest fish that escaped. Mr. Rawson had a different ex- 

 perience, and this is the way he tells it: "The second day 

 after I got up to the lakes I started out about 4 o'clock in 

 the morning to try the trout. It was a good morning for 

 fish, and I got one or two right off. Then I struck a three- 

 pounder on the leader. He was a game fish, and I had a 

 pretty little fight before I got him near the landing net. 

 My guide was just going to put the net under him when 

 away he went again, pulling like a whale, or rather a pair of 

 whales, for just as he went away I got a glimpse of another 

 big fish on the follower. Then I did have a fight. I was an 

 hour and a quarter tiring out those fish, and they hailed me 

 from the hotel and asked me why I didn't tie 'em up and 

 come into breakfast. But I got them to the net at last, and 

 found that I had an eight-pounder on the line beside the 

 original three-pounder. The eight-pounder had taken the 

 hook just as we were taking in the other." Mr. Rawson 

 brought the fish home and had them photographed. They 

 are handsome fish, and Mr. Rawson is very proud of his 

 double catch.— Boston Advertiser.
