two or^hree centerboard boats without deep keels, but still with 

 outside lead ballast. 



As to rig, there are two or three sloops on the list, but practi- 

 cally all the fiinglestiekers are cutter-rigged. Of the schooners, 

 Mr. Morgan's craft is; rather large for racing as it is done nowa- 

 days, and should practically have a walkover in all of the summer 

 regat tas. Some speculation has already been indulged in as to 

 what she will do in the Goelet cup race, but if she is as good as 

 she should be, the only result of the entry of such a large craft 

 must be to kill the interest in the race entirely, as boats 20ft . 

 shorter can never hope to make an exciting race with one of her 

 size. The other schooner will be more properly a racing craft, 

 going into the class that now has the cream of all the races in the 

 larger sizes, where she will meet Grayling, Sea Fox, and perhaps 

 Sachem, though we do not know whether the new owner of the lat- 

 ter proposes to race her. The greatest novelty on the list is the new 

 steel yawl, the first of the rig built in America. Several yachts 

 of moderate size have been converted into yawls, and several 

 imported craft are well known here, but this will be the first 

 yacht, built for the yawl rig. The deep and impenetrable veil of 

 mystery that surrounded Iter ownership has at last been pierced, 

 and it is known that she is building for Mr. Ronald Thomas, of 

 Newport, who will use her for cruising. The two small schooners, 

 one of 01ft. l.w.l. for Mr. Frederick Grinnell, and the other 65ft. 

 l.w.l. for an unknown owner, are of a size not very common hero, 

 but nevertheless very handy; they will both be cruisers. It is

now known that the anonymous owner of the steel Burgess 

 steamer is Mr. Daniel Ford, of Boston and Marblehead, for whom 

 Mr. Burgess designed the Hauniel. The latter yacht has lately 

 been sold, and Mr. Ford will replace her with the larger boat. 



Nowhere in the list is there any indication of life or vitality in 

 the larger classes of singlestickers: the Yolunteer class is very 

 quiet, with no prospects of any racing this season; the 70ft. class 

 is apt to be lively enough with so many matches arranged be- 

 tween existing boats, but no one seems anxious to add to the 

 class. One yacht for the now 61ft. class is already talked of, but, 

 if built it will not be until next winter. Nothing is doing in the 

 53ft. class, one or two boats have been projected, but they are not 

 likely to be built. In the 46ft. class also there is little prospect of 

 new racers for New York or the East, the two on the list going 

 one to New Orleans and the other to Philadelphia. The bulk of 

 the building is in the 40ft. class, and it promises to be the main 

 feature of the coming racing season. The dimensions, and also 

 the ownership of many of the boats are as yet in the dark, but 

 there will be enough of them to make good racing from Sandy 

 Hook to Cape Ann. The speedy growth of this class is a most en- 

 couraging evidence of a general interest in racing among yachts- 

 men at large, not merely the few who can own the largest sizes 

 of racing cracks. Just now the tide seems to be setting in the 

 direction of the smaller sizes for racing, which means more 

 races, more boats, more interest in yacht racing, and more re- 

 cruits for the sport. 



[.Ian. 24. 1889, 



THISTLE.— From late advices we can den y positively the reports 

 that Thistle has been sold to Mr. Coats, that she has been or will 

 be altered, or that there is any prospect of a second challenge 

 from her. She is still owned by the syndicate that built her, and 

 she is laid up for the winter with no definite plans for next year. 

 There is every reason to believe that all the reports of Thistle's 

 alterations and second challenge originated in Now York among 

 sensational reporters of the same type as that one who per- 

 petrated the bottle hoax in connection with the lost Cytbera. It 

 is from similar sources that the rumors of a 90-footer for Mr. 

 Jameson, and a challenge from her have emanated. We have had 

 letters lately from several racing yachtsmen in England and 

 Scotland, all expressing the same opinion of the new deed of gift, 

 and agreeing that there is little prospect of a challenge so long as 

 it is retained. From a private letter received this week we learn 

 that Thistle was at her moorings in Gourock Bay on Jan. 6. 



AMERICAN Y. C— The annual meeting of the American Y. C. 

 was held at Delmonico's on Jan. 15, with Com. Starbuck in the 

 chair. The reports showed that the new club house at Milton 

 Point has been paid for except $35,000 in bonds at 4 per cent. The 

 following officers were elected; Com., Wm. H. Starbuck; Vice- 

 Corn., Cbas. H. Osgood; Rear-Corn., F. R. Lawrence; Sec'y, H. A. 

 Taylor; Treas., Wm. B. Dowd; Fleet Surg., Chas. 1. Pardee, M.D.; 

 Meas., Chas. II. Haswell. Trustees-— J. P. Kennedy, H. A.Taylor, 

 F. R. Lawrence, Jos. Stickney, Wash. E. Connor, Maturin Ballou, 

 Wm. B. Dowd. Regatta Committee— Geo. W. Hall, Thos. I;. 

 Scovill, Ed. S. Canet, Ezra S. Connor, Wm. Weeber. Arrange- 

 ments will be made to run a steamer between New York and Mil- 

 ton Point during the season. The club has a membership of 250 

 and a fleet of 68 vessels. Nothing has yet been heard of a chal- 

 lenge for the new $10,000 cup. 



VOLUNTEER.-Capt, Henry Haff, the skipper of Volunteer, 

 has not been engaged by Gen. Paine this season, but will go with 

 Mr. Iselin in Titania: and it is probable that Volunteer will not 

 be in commission. 



ALERT.— The missionary yacht Alert, Capt. Lane T which does 

 noble work in summer among the islands of the New England 

 coasT, will soon start on a similar cruise in Southern waters. 



ANOTHER YISIT FROM GALATEA. — Lieut. Henn proposes 

 to visit America again, and will sail with Mrs. Henn in season to 

 join the New York cruise in August. 



GITANA.— Com. Weld's schr. has completed her fitting out and 

 will be docked this week at Simpson's, in Boston. She will sail 

 on Jan. 38. 



CLARA.— Mr. Chas. Sweet has sold his cutter Clara to Dr. J. C. 

 Barron, formerly owner of Blanche, Wave and Athlon. 



WENDUR, yawl, Mr. T. B. C. West, sailed from Southampton 

 for the Mediterranean on Dec. 25.

C. J. H., Lawrence, Mass.— For game laws of Massachusetts 

 write to Mr. Arthur W. Robinson, Sec. Mass. Fish and Game Pro- 

 tective Association, No. 33 Winter street, Boston, Mass. 



W. F. D.—l. The two guns, generally speaking, would be about 

 equal, but it would be impossible to determine their actual merits 

 without a test. 3. The 10-gauge would be a good all-round arm. 



C. E. B., Wilkesbarre, Pa— The Maine commissioners are E. M. 

 Stilwell, Bangor, Me., and Henry O. Starley, Dixfield, Me. The 

 publication you name contains the full set, but not always cor- 

 rect. 



S. T. H.— If "S. T. H." Alabama, who makes inquiry in Forest 

 and Stream of Jan. 17 in regard to tents, canvas boats, guns and 

 camp outfit, will give me his address, I can be of service, having 

 had much experience.— E. S. W. 



T., Glen Cove.— Can you tell me the best way to clarify or refine 

 seal oil that has been tried out and passed through flannel to 

 remove impurities? Should it be heated to a high temperature, 

 or is it merely necessary to heat the fat sufficiently to liberate 

 the oily Ans. After the oil has been rendered out, it is further 

 puritied by the addition of a small quantity of sulphuric acid (oil 

 of vitriol) which carries all impurities to tiie bottom with it. The 

 oil must be maintained at a temperature high enough to keep it 

 fluid the while. 



H. C, Hyauuis, Mass.— We can supply the new book "Modern 

 Shotguns." Hammond's "Training vs. Breaking" is confined to 

 pointers and setters among field dogs. The cockers and field 

 spaniels are used in the same way in the field. At, bench shows 

 (while field and cocker spaniels properly differ in head) the two 

 are interchangeable, the distinction being that of weight; spaniels 

 under 281bs. are shown as cockers, over 281bs. as field spaniels, 

 and certain specimens which have been shown as cockers have, 

 after attaining increased weight, been shown as field spaniels. 

 Many give tongue unless otherwise trained. Some are black, 

 red, liver and other colors. Most red spaniels are of lighter 

 shade than the Irish setter red. Flat-coated are those whose hair 

 lies close to the body without wave or curl. Some 36in. barrel 

 guns shoot as well practically as those of longer barrels; choose a 

 12-bore; the larger bore would give an increased killing circle; 

 the longer barrel will give the greater recoil; the choke will give 

 more than the cylinder.
