LENORE.— A new yacht by this name has just been added to the 

 fleet of the Royal Nova Scotia V. S., being designed by her owner. 

 H. C. McLeod, who also designed the Meteor, a very successful 

 boat. The dimensions of Lenore are: 



Length over all 32ft. 6in. 



Length on waterline 27ft. 



Breadth on waterline 7ft. 5in. 



Greatest breadth 7ft. llin. 



Draft of water 4ft. tiin. 



Area load water plane 129sq. ft. 



Area wetted surface 261su. ft. 



Area lower sails per sq. ft. of wetted surface. o.Oasq. ft. 



Displacement 10,8001bs. 



Ballast on keel (lead) 5,8211bs. 



Mast from fore side of stem 8ft. 



Mast, deck to hounds 21ft. Cln. 



Pole of mast 13ft. 



Diameter of mast at dock 5^in. 



Main boom 29ft. Gin. 



Main gaff 18ft. 6in. 



Bowsprit outboard 13ft. Gin. 



Area of mainsail 560sq. ft. 



Area of jib 230sq. ft. 



Area of topsail 150sq. ft. 



The Lenore was built by Messrs. Chambers, Turner & Layton, of 

 Truro. She made her first race last week, but was beaten, having 

 lost her bobstay by collision with a rowboat before the start, and 

 so being unable to carry full sail. 



FORM OF YACHTS— Extracts from Prof. R. H. Thurston's 

 article in the June Fxmim are remarkable for the coincidence of 

 their conclusions with those set forth at length by Mr. C. P. Kun- 

 hardt in "Small Yachts," especially the conclusion that no "best" 

 proportion of beam to length exists, but that beam should vary 

 with, depth or with displacement dependent thereon. Prof. Thurs- 

 ton further concludes that one type is as capable of speed as the 

 other, just what Mr. Kunhardt has strenuously insisted upon 

 throughout in the pages of this journal as well as in the books he 

 has written, having for a long time been the only person to take 

 this stand. As to the comparison with fishes, we cannot place 

 much weight upon the deductions, because fish are modifications 

 upon the form of least resistance in consequence of the structural 

 demands created by propulsion by the tail and after body. Hence 

 in fish the great est, section is further forward than it should be in 

 yachts. Apart from this, the causes of resistance to progress of 

 wholly immersed fish and semi-immersed vessel are different and 

 demand different solution. Questions of stability, etc., other 

 than those of resistance must receive consideration in the vessel 

 but not. in the fish, so that the analogy should be accepted with 

 great caution. We welcome Prof. Thurston's article because it is 

 such absolute substantiation of the position takeu by this journal 

 for many years, and will tend to enlighten the public, as we have 

 been seeking to do. 



LORNA-NAHLI MATCH.— A third match will be sailed to-day 

 between the open boats Lorna, E. J, O'Gorman, and Nahli, W. E. 

 Conner, from Sand's Point, 10 miles to windward and return, with 

 Capt, Geo. Mackey as referee. In the first race, sailed last fall, 

 Lorna only won by 2-5s., and it was agreed to call it a draw and sail 

 again, which was done, Nahli losing her sandbags and Lorna 

 winning. The two are very evenly matched, Lorna being 24ft.5in. 

 l.w.l. and Nahli 21ft. 3in. The former will be sailed by Captain 

 Samuel Tra vers and a picked crew of boatmen from Cow Bay, and 

 Nahli by Captain Samuel Seaman with crew also from Cow Bay. 



PAPPOOSE.— This new cutter by Burgess captured the Globe 

 cup last Friday and is now the talk of Boston. Possibly she is the 

 forerunner of a new lot of similar craft. 



"GLOBE" DAY.— The entries for the prizes offered by the Boston 

 Globe will run above one hundred and a big match and evening 

 fete may be looked for Saturday. 



REGATTA AT BAR HARBOR.— The date of the open regatta 

 at Bar Harbor has been fixed for Aug, 25, and §1,150 will be given 

 in prizes. There will be two classes for schooners, prizes $250 and 

 $200, and four classes of sloops, prizes $250, $200, $150 and $100. 

 The details are in the hands of Admiral Padeiford, Cor. Y. C. 



HALIFAX REGATTA.— A meeting was held at Halifax on June 

 11, at which it was resolved to offer a cup to cost $750 for a race 

 to be sailed between Aug. 1 and 15, open to all yachts from the 

 United States and Canada. Galatea and Stranger will be present 

 and other yachts from the States are expected. 



ATLANTIC— The pride of Bay Ridge was hauled outat Mumm's 

 Inst week for more lead on her keeL Her joiner work will also be 

 completed before she leaves the basin, as thus far she has been 

 but partly finished inside. She will not meet her class before the 

 cruise of the Atlantic, or perhaps the New York Y. C. 



THE JUBILEE RACE.— Since the start on June 14, the fleet has 

 been lost in fog and little is known of the loaders though it is sup- 

 posed that Gencsta is ahead. The English yacht Dauntless, ketch 

 rigged, one of the competitors, was run into by the steam yacht 

 Pandora and disabled. 



VIXEN. — The Vixen, well known as a fast sloop, has become the 

 property of W. G. Loriag of Boston. Vixen was originally a Bob 

 Fish model, but has been raised in the side. She is probably as 

 smart as anything of her length, and about a match for the 

 Fanita. 



BAY VIEW (MASS.) Y. C— Match last Friday in light wind. 

 In first class, over 28ft., N. &S. won in 1.52, corrected time, beating 

 Jennie, Trio and Hager. In second class, under 20ft., the catboat 

 Flash won in 1.27, beating Alice, Annie, Dolsie, Kit and Goat 

 withdrawn. 



DAUNTLESS.— This American schooner is not sailing in the 

 Jubilee race around Great Britain. The Dauntless, reported run 

 into by a steamer, is an English yawl of 163 tons. 



MELUSINA.— Horace Binney's cutter, previously illustrated in 

 this journal, has been launched after being two years on the 

 stocks, her owner having been in Europe. 



IREX AND THISTLE. — In the match at Liverpool on Saturday 

 Thistle beat lrex easily in light weather. The details of tho race 

 have not yet come to hand. 



WHISTLEW1NG.— This Hamilton cutter has been purchased 

 by Andrew Rutherford, of Toronto. The T. Y. C. now has the 

 largest fleet on the lakes. 



SHEERWATER. — This is the name »f the new steel steamer 

 built for John M. Forbes by the Atlantic Iron Works, of Boston. 



UN DINE.— This old-time New York sloop will be sold at auction 

 Saturday, at Lawley'a, South Boston. 



TORONTO Y. C. will arrange a jubilee race at Niagara, July 2, 

 open to all over 25ft. sailing length.

Flash, the finely-bred setter owned by Dr. C. A. Packard, 

 of Bath, has a favorite house in the city which he often visits. 

 The other day he was there at the dinner hour, and, civil 

 dog that he is, he waited till the family rose from the table, 

 when he made his presence known and was at once admitted 

 as a welcome guest. One of the family, a lady, is very fond 

 of Flash, and he reciprocates the kindness shown him. The 

 lady is a great knitter, and as soon as Flash entered the hall- 

 way he passed to a room, secured the lady's knittiug work, 

 and brought it to her. Finding that the ball of yarn was not 

 with it he at once returned and secured that also, and then 

 laid himself at the lady's feet while she went on with her 

 work. — Brunswick (Me.) Telegraph.

W. H. B., Nashua, N. H— A friend has a litter of pointer pup- 

 pies one week old. one of which is entirely white, not a mark or 

 spot of any description. Is not this unusual? Will his coat change 

 as he grows older? Ans. It is not very unusual. He will prob- 

 ably show ticks as he grows older. 



P. P. L., Morgantown, N. C— Please inform me as to the best 

 bait and methods and time for catching German carp. I am 

 living near a large pond which was stocked five years ago. Few 

 have been caught, some weighing as much as 10 to 121bs., but they 

 were in shallow water. I have caught a few with angle worms, 

 but they were small. Ans. Carp will take boiled peas, potatoes, 

 flour worked into wet cotton, and other baits. See account in 

 this week's issue of taking them with bread crust.

PATENTED MAY 4, 1886. 



With the exception of our Patent Compensating Reels and Section Bamboo Rods which we introduce to the public, 

 this fly, invented by Mr. Wakeman Holberton, is unquestionably the greatest and most radical improvement in fishing 

 tackle ever made. The chief points of manifest superiority of this method of tying flies over the old-fashioned way are: 

 1st — The vr onderfully life-like and fluttering motion this fly has when moved on the water. 

 2d — The fish is almost certain to be hooked if it touches the fly. 



3d— Any of the present favorite combinations of color and form can be tied in this way. Thus, those who believe 

 that fish are attracted by particular colors or forms of fly, can have their old patterns in the patent style. 



4th— These flies not only offer less resistance to the wind in casting, but more resistance to the water in drawing. 

 Hence one can do as good work with a small hook tied this way as a large hook tied as before. Experience proves that 

 flies dressed this way can be tied on hooks two sizes smaller than one would use on old-fashioned flies. 



We take this mejns of notifying dealers and fly-tyers that we shall prosecute any infringement of our rights under 

 this patent to the fullest extent of the law. Our course, in regard to the protection of our patents and copyrights, is 

 known to some people. We assure such people that the same old course will be pursued by this firm. 



We add a few extracts selected from the numerous and unanimously complimentary press notices of this fly. We 

 the fluttering fly. could add many letters from well-known and expert anglers if we were willing to drag the names of private gentie- 

 paiontoa mjj ith, ism. men into our advertisements. 



Scientific America^:: "When so arranged the wings offer less resistance to the air in casting. As the fly is slowly drawn toward the angler the wings 

 expand, and give it a fluttering, life-like motion, much more alluring to the fish." 



Forest and Strea7>i: " * * * more like a natural insect lhan the old patterns whose wings close when being drawn through the water. * * * 

 Great merit lies in its superior hooking qualities. A fish cannot nip at the wings or tail, but swallows the hook before any part of the fly." 



American Angler: "There is no question as to the killing qualities of this fly. All flsh are attracted more by the action of the fly than by color or form. 

 * * * This fly will certainly, when drawn against the current or over a placid pool, seam the surface with an attractive wake, and its expanded wings will 

 create a fluttering motion, assimilating the struggles of a live insect. * * * We are told that few flsh are lost by those who use this fly. We do not doubt it.'
