FOREST AND STREAM.

DELAWARE RIVER.— Editor Forest and Stream: Mr. Howell's 

 little cutter behaved admirably on her trial trip May 1, heeling 

 gently to the northwester and poking her nose almost into the 

 wind's eye. I watched her first go about with some little anxiety, 

 hut she looked up and filled away handsomely, while the two tons 

 of lead on keel kept her moving while in stays. She looks odd to 

 local eyes. Mr. Work's keel yacht Gretchen is out with a new 

 suit of sails, sloop rig, and while having an advantage under the 

 new measurement rule, will have a lively time in her class (4th) 

 among the cutter breed. The little cabin yacht Faust has been 

 purchased by Philadelphia parties, Loland & Co., and will proba- 

 bly join the Q. C. Y. C. in the fourth class. She is in cruising rig 

 and has an able, comfortably look. The Cooper's Point Corinthian 

 Y. G. sailed their first race this season on May 3, starting from 

 abreast of club house at 2 o'clock P. M.. to sail to Horseshoe Buoy 

 and return. The following boats started: Humes and Fitch, first 

 class; Wilkins and Allmond, second class; Cook and Anderson, 

 third class; wind light N. E. Time at Shoe buoy: Humes 3:30, 

 Wilkins 3:32, Allmond 3:33, Cook 8:37, Fitcl 8 VndVreon 3:43 The 

 beat up against the wind and tide tested the skill of the captains, 

 and as the wind freshened made the race more exciting. Time at 

 home flag boat: Wilkins 6:32, Capt. H. C. Funk; Humes 7:39, Capt. 

 C. T. Humes; Fitch 6:54; Allmond 7:12; Cook 7:14, Capt, W. G. Cook; 

 Andersou 7:35. One thing the Corinthians have learned and in- 

 tend to adhere to in the future. The boats participating in the 

 race must start promptly on time, as in the present instance, or 

 be ruled out of the race." The next race will take place on May 17, 

 and the laggards are now forewarned. "Time and tide wait for 

 no man," and many a fine race has been utterly spoiled by un- 

 necessary delay. Some of our old clubs might profit by this Cor- 

 inthian hint.— R. G. W. 



SANDY BAY Y. C— This club will sail four races this year 

 one each month from June to September. The prizes for the 

 annual regatta are the Rockport Cup for first class boats, the 

 Mackay-Bennett Cable Cup for second class boats. Mackay- Ben- 

 nett Cable Cup for third class boats. Should only three boats 

 compete in each or any class, only one prize will be given; six 

 boats will insure a second liberal prize in cash, and a greater 

 number a third liberal cash prize in each class. There will also be 

 a dory sailing race for fishermen around an inside course, the 

 prizes being donated by the Mackay-Bennett Cable Co., as follows: 

 For dories over loft, in length, $10; under 15ft., $5. The prizes for 

 the other regattas have not been selected. 



MORE LEAD.— Hope Leslie, schooner, is out at Burnham's 

 Railway, Boston, for lead in keel — Atlantic is on Mumm's ways, 

 where her fore and after deadwoods have been cut away and re- 

 placed with lead. The lead keel now extends to within 3ft. of the 

 sternpost — Jane, cutter, J. S. Poyen, is out for two tons on keek 

 ....The new catboat, 28ft, over all, 24ft. L w. 1., that Wood Bros, 

 are building, will have 4,5001bs. of iron under her. 



MR. COLT AND CAPTAIN SAMUELS.— The following letter ! 

 from the owner of the Dauntless to Captain Samuels, who sailed 

 her in the ocean race, should put an end to the newspaper canards , 

 concerning a disagreement between them: "Southampton, on 

 Board Dauntless, April 23, 1887.— Dear Captain Samuels: I am | 

 very glad to hear that you arrived safe and sound at home and 

 found your family in good health. ■ I wish to thank you for your 

 prompt and vigorous denial of the unfounded rumors of difficul- 

 ties and disagreements between us during the trip across. I fail 

 entirely to understand how such malicious reports could have 

 been circulated, considering that we 'pulled ropes' together for 

 the good of the ship with the most hearty good will. And I am as 

 certain as you are that these reports originated from neither of 

 us, but were made up of whole cloth. I wish I had boon with you 

 on the arrival of the Adriatic to add my denials with yours. If 

 your business engagements should permit, I only hope you will 

 pay me a visit on board this summer after I return, and only wish 

 that you would make arrangements to come over as my guest 

 and watch some of the English yacht racing, and return with me 

 on the yacht. All on board join with me in good wishes to you 

 and with kindest regards to Mrs. Samuels. Believe me, most sin- 

 cerely, Caldwell H. Colt." 



YACHT RACES AT MARTH A'S VINEYARD.— At its last 

 meeting the Martha's Vinvard Club almoin ted a committee of four 

 to arrange for races to be sailed annually by yachts of the Atlantic 

 coast, in Vineyard Sound. It is proposed to offer several cups (to 

 be made by Tiffany & Co.), to be raced for every year at the visit 

 of the N. \. and E. Y. C. squadrons. The courses suggested are 

 for first class sloops, from Nobsque light 1o flag boat off the west 

 end of Squash Meadow Shoal, thence E. by S. % S. to Cross Rip 

 Lightship, thence N.W. by W. )4 W, 6 miles to flag boat, thence W. 

 by S. 6 3-5 miles to stake boat off East Chop, or, with an east tide, 

 to start from East Chop down the sound to the Sow and Pigs and 

 return. Second class from stake boat at Oak Bluffs S.E. by. E. ^ 

 E. miles to flag boat off Hawes Shoals, thence N. by E. 314 miles 

 to flag boat, thence W. by N. 7 miles to finish at East Crop. These 

 cups will add greatly to the interest and excitement of the cruise, 

 following closely on the Goelet Cups at Newport, and it is proba- 

 ble that a few seasons will see more of such racing, the fleet mak- 

 ing a regular round with a race at every port. 



CORINTHIAN Y. G— The annual meeting of the Corinthian 

 Y. C. was held on Mav 3 at Delmonico's, last year's officers being 

 reelected as follows: Admiral, E. M. Padelford; Secretary, M. 

 Roosevelt Schuyler; Treasurer, E. M. Clark. June 13 was set for 

 the annual regatta, and the opening of the season will be on Dec- 

 oration Day. At the regatta it is proposed to offer two prizes for 

 different allowances in the same race, the object being to test the 

 different systems. The club resolved to offer to Mr. Bell the use 

 of the club house and landing stage during the stay of the Thistle 

 at New York. 



THE PaLATKA COLORED Y. G— This club was organized on 

 May 5 of this year at Palatka, Fla., with twenty-six members and 

 six yachts. A regatta will be sailed on July 4, to be open to col- 

 ored yachtsmen of Palatka, St. Augustine and Savannah. The 

 latest addition to the fleet is named the Mayflower, and was 

 launched on May 4, a centerboard boat 23x8ft,, built by E. F. Gil- 

 liard and A. H. Fiuley. 



SOUTH BOSTON Y. C. OPEN REGATTA.— The Regatta Com- 

 mittee of the South Boston Y. C. has changed the published rules 

 for the open regatta May 30, so as to conform with the rules of the 

 New England Yacht Racing Association, of which the club is a 

 member.. A new circular will be issued during the coming week. 

 These rules do not allow of shifting ballast, and place some restric- 

 tions on sails. 



MONTAUK.— On May 4 Montauk left Bay Ridge for Norfolk, 

 but in consequence of a fog she returned. In working to her an- 

 chorage she touled the schooner Avelon, of Philadelphia, carrying 

 away the main boom of the latter and tearing her own mainsail. 



HILDEGARDE, schooner, lately purchased by Mr. George 

 Gould, will sail for New York from Cowes this week. Hildegarde 

 was built by Camper & Nicholson in 1874, and is about 100ft. l.w.l., 

 by 21ft. beam. 



A MATCH BETWEEN CRACKS.— A private match has been 

 made between Atlantic and Pocahontas, over the N. Y. Y. C. 

 course, for $250 a side, Atlantic to allow Pocahontas 30 minutes' 

 time. 



SUSQUEHANNA— The new steam yacht for Mr. Jas. F. Stick- 

 ney, now building by Harlan & Hollingsworth, will be named 

 Susquehanna, Her length on 1. w. 1. is 150ft. 



FORTUNA.— Ex-Corn. Hovey, E. Y. C, will sail for England in 

 the Fortuna about June 1, returning before the fall races. Mr. 

 Chas. Longfellow will accompany him. 



JERSEY CITY Y. C— A planked shad dinner with Oswego flap 

 jacks as accompaniments, was given at the clubhouse on May 8. 



ROUND BOWSPRITS. — Gitana, Palmer, Rebecca, will all come 

 otit with round nose poles this year. 



ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



The Lambs, New York.— A. wagers B. that there are more 

 setters than pointers used in the United Stated for shooting pur- 

 poses. Will you decide this and oblige J. M. ? Ans. Probably 

 more setters, but nobody knows. 



The Travelers of Hartford advertises what it has DONe, not 

 what it is going to do; it has paid over $11,200,000 to Policy- 

 holders in settlement of claims. — Adv.
