CRUISER,— Mr. Alley's challenge, lately published in the 

 Forest and Stream, resulted in throo matches, one on .J une 18 at 

 Larchmont, 7 milos to windward against the Punch, cat rig, 20ft. 

 The breeze was fresh N.E., the course to Captain's Island, Cruiser 

 winning by three minutes. The next race, on June 25, was anainst 

 the Orienta, 21ft. 9iu., cat-rigged, to Gangway Buoy and back, two 

 rounds. Orienta started four minutes ahead, and sailed olf be- 

 fore the light northerly breeze about as fast as Cruiser, rounding 

 the outer mark about four minutes ahead. In beating back the 

 Cruiser gained the four minutes, and as Orienta was standing for 

 the home mark on port tack she fouled Cruiser, the judges award- 

 ing the race to the latter. Each race was for a $50 cup. The 

 third match, July 2, oft Bridgeport, for $250 per side, was won by 

 Americus.

 launch is to have cedar planking, oak frame, copper and brass 

 fastenings, mahogany decks, fancy wood finish in cockpit, and all 

 metal liftings are to he polished and trickle plated. All of the 

 wood work is to be bright except the planking outside below the 

 guard rail, which will be painted white. Alonzo Springstead, of 

 Genera, N.Y., is building for Messrs. Allen & Grime, of Skaneate- 

 les, N. Y., a steam yacht 70ft. long by lift. -tin. beam, from lines 

 furnished by Bowdish & Co. This yacht is designed for speed and 

 will have powerful machinery. 



THE VOGELSANG PROPELLER.— This new propeller, which 

 was first built and tried by the inventor at the Washington Navy 

 Yard, has been tested in Prussia with excellent results, tlie gain 

 in one case, a torpedo boat, being reported as 5 knots, or from 21 

 to 26 knots. The leading feature of the invention is the grouping 

 of two or more blades, spaced at unequal intervals on one side of 

 the hub, the other side being either plain, provided with a count- 

 erbalance weight, or with a single blade opposite the group, no 

 two blades in any case being diametrically opposite. It is claimed 

 that by this arrangement all the blades work in more solid water 

 than if equally spaced. The invention will bo tested on a large 

 scale on one of the North German Lloyd steamers. 



TITANI A— SHAMROCK. — The protest of Mr. Maxwell against 

 Titania for carrying too large a crew was considered by the Re- 

 gatta Committee, on July 6, at Larchmont. Mr. Iselin* admitted 

 carrying 1G men in place of 15, believing tho rule to be one for 

 every 5ft. of deck length, whereas in tho Larchmont Club it is one 

 for every 5ft. of corrected length. On his own admission the rule 

 was not complied with, and the boat was consequently ruled out, 

 Mr. Maxwell has declined to accept the prize and it will be sailed 

 for in the fall regatta. Hildegarde wins in her class, beating 

 Cinderella by 47s. 



HULL Y. C. CRUISE.— On July 9 the cruise of the Hull Y. C. 

 commenced, the fleet sailing at 10:30 and arriving at 1 P. M. at 

 MarDlehead, sailing from there for Portland. The fleet comprises 

 the following yachts: Schooner Silvie, Com. C. V. Whitten: steam 

 yacht Eugenia, Vice-Corn. Harry C. Converse; sloop Carmen, 

 Fleet Captain, B. L. M. Tower; steam yacht Annie C. Fred Pope; 

 schooner Widgeon, A. S. Wattles, and Arethusa, H. M. Savage; 

 sloops, Aglaia (Davis), Hera (Howes), Nimbus (Souther), Echo 

 (Burrill), lone (Poyen). 



VOLUNTEER— The joiners are busy inside of Volunteer and 

 much of the inside work is already completed. The arrangement 

 will be similar to Mayflower but the finish will be in varnished 

 pine, trimmed with mahogany. The sails are ready, and by Satur- 

 day all will be ready for a trial trip. The yacht will be sailed every 

 day to stretch her canvas, and will be docked at Lockwood's by 

 the last of the month, preparatory to the Goelet Cup race. 



E. Y. C. CRUISE.— On July 7 the E. Y. C. fleet sailed from Mar- 

 blehead for the Isle of Shoals, the fleet including Gitana, Mohi- 

 can, Ambassadress, Adrienne, Galatea, Stranger and Wanderer. 



MAYFLOWER.— At 2 A. M. on July 9 Mayflower left Boston for 

 New York in charge of Captain II. C. Craven, formerly of tho 

 schooners Idler, Resolute, Halcyon and Sappho, the sloop Regina 

 and the cutters Viudex and Muriel. Captain Craven will at once 

 ship a racing crow and will race tho yacht for Mr. E. D. Morgan, 

 her new owner. She arrived at Bay Ridge Tuesday afternoon, 

 her crew returning to Boston. 



A WRECK IN GRAVESEND BAY.— The sloop Cloud, Newark 

 Y. C, was wrecked near Bath on July 6, dragging anchor at night 

 and going ashore and proving a total loss. Her crew were rescued 

 by persons on the beach, assisted by the Coast Survey schooner 

 Ready. 



GREAT HEAD Y. C, LADIES' DAY.— The Great Head Y. C- 

 fleet turned out on July 5 in the evening for a sail, each yacht,

 bring away and number of moose and deer you can shoot. Write

Old Colony Club, Plymouth.— We know of no precedent cover- 

 ing such a case, but the most equitable manner of dealing with it 

 is to order the two leading boats to sail off the tie. The question 

 of third boat is already settled, and a re-sail by the first two will 

 settle the question of first and second prize. 



JOHN P. LOVELL'S IMPROVEMENTS. 



The improvements lately made in the already extensive estab- 

 lishment of the John P. Lovell Arms Company will make this 

 store one of the most attractive in tho city. As now arranged, 

 the store has large frontages on Washington and Brattle Streets 

 and Cornhill, and consists of two buildings connected with each 

 other at each story by wide doorways. The rear building is the 

 one that has been so thoroughly changed that it might with 

 almost entire truth be said to have been reconstructed from top 

 to bottom. 



The basement has been enlarged and extended several feet 

 beneath the Cornhill sidewalk. On the Brattle street side an 

 entire glass front has boon inserted and an attractive entrance 

 made, so that people may enter this room, which is devoted to 

 the retail sale of fishing tackle, sporting and base ball goods, 

 directly from the street. On the floor above is a room that is 

 flooded with light, both ends being composed almost entirely of 

 glass. This is the retail gun room, and around its walls are fowl- 

 ing pieces of almost every description. Directly over this is the 

 wholesale department. A part of this story is devoted to the 

 Springfield bicycle and bicycle sundries, of which this house 

 makes a specialty. 



The several stories are connected by a large elevator of an im- 

 proved kind, which is very smooth running. 



Besides their Boston store the company has a large factory in 

 Worcester, in which are employed 400 men, and where they manu 

 facture some of their well-known fire-arms. In addition to their 

 many different patterns of revolvers, they are busily engaged in 

 producing a new hammerless self-cocking revolver, which Is en- 

 tirely new, and which will possess many improvements not found 

 in any other as yet in tlie market. 



They make a specialty of manufacturing Bean's patent police 

 equipments, which are the latest and most improved goods in use. 



The great superiority of these equipments over the old kind 

 consists in their tightness and strength. They have already been 

 adopted by most of tho leading cities in the United States, includ- 

 ing Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington; also by the 

 government for use in the United States navy. Besides handling 

 these sporting and other goods, the company is New England 

 agent for Reach's base ball goods. 



Also sole agent for the United States for the Hunt's patent life- 

 saving gun and projectile, which are now on exhibition in the 

 window at No. 147 Washington street. All interested in naviga- 

 tion should examine them. The small gun in especially adapt ed 

 to the use of vessels, and none should be without one— -Boston

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 wonderfully 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 stvle. 



4th— These flies not only offer less resistance to the wind in casting, but more resistance to toe 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 me ins 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 tae names of private gentle- 

 PatentedMaj 4tb, i88s. men into our advertisements. 



Scientific American:.- "When so arranged the wings offer less resistance to the air in casting. As the fly is slowly drawn toward the angler the win°-s 

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



Forest and Stream: " * * * more like a natural insect than the old patterns whose wings close when being drawn through the water * * * 

 (jreat merit lies m its superior hooting qualities. A fish cannot nip at the wings or tail, but swallows the hook before any part of the fly."
