BISCAYNE BAY NOTES. 



THE Biscayne-Bay Y. C. has elected the following Government 

 officials to honorary membership: Superintendent U. S. 

 Coast Survey, Supi ri utendent V. S. Fish Commission, Superin- 

 tendent of V. S. Lifc-savinor Service for the Seventh District, and 

 Inspector U, S. hiclitlioii.se Department Seventh and Eighth Dis- 

 tricts. 



One of the most closelv-contr sfed races ever seen in Southern 

 waters was sailed on March 8 between the schooner yachts Alla- 

 patta, Kirk Mimroe owner, and Nieketti, Jean de Hedouvillc 

 owner, for the possession of the championship Class C pennant of 

 the Biscayne Bay V. C. The course was triangular, starting from 

 a stakeboat anchored off the club house at Cocoanut Gro\e, 

 across Biscayne Bay to the inner channel buoy off Cape Florida, 

 thence to and around a buoy in mid-channel off Bear Cub, 

 and thence to point of dep rture, 14 miles in all. The first 

 leg of tbis course was a run dead before the wind, during which 

 the two yachts kept side by side, neither gaining a foot on the 

 other, the entire distance of six miles. They turned the first 

 mark together with Nieketti inside, and started on a beat for the 

 second. At ihe end of the first tack Allapatta held the lead; at 

 the end of the second and third Nieketti held the lead; at the end 

 of the fourth Allapatta had regained her position and turned the 

 second mark a few seconds in advance of her rival. The tuii 

 home was made on a single stretch, with both yachts close hauled 

 and jammed into the eye of a breeze that came in spiteful trusts 

 offshore. During it Allapatta steadily increased her lead and 

 came in winner, beating Nieketti !Ym. 45s.. or with time allowance 

 deducted, 5m. 38s. Several challenges are already awaiting the 

 winner, and some more lively match races are in prospect. 



The steam yacht Narod, from New York for a West Indies 

 cruise, anchored in Bisc-ryne Bay during the night of March 7.

Geo. Creasey, ex-Com. H. D. Basler, I. Sharp. Jos. Stephens, V. 

 V. Dory, Frank MaxweJl, Geo. Lance and Julius Hoffman. The

 prosperous condition financially. 



THE NEW BURGESS FISHERMAN. — Mr. J.Malcolm Forbes, 

 owner of Puritan and pari owner of the new Burgess fisherman 

 Fredouia, now about completed, is arranging for a trip from 

 Boston to Faya.l and perhaps Madeira in the latter vessel, starting 

 May 20 and returning about July 20, in season to fit out Puritan 

 tor the New York Y. C. cruise. The object would be mainly to 

 test the new vessel at sea. as she will sail in the ordinary working 

 trim of a fisherman. Oapt. Chas. Herty, of Gloucester, will be in 

 command, with mate Ryan, of Puritan, and ihe latter's crew, 

 making two mates, two quartermasters, six seamen, a cook, 

 steward and a cabin boy. Capt. Francis Stone, of New Bedford, 

 will be the navigating officer. The Fredonia is building by Adams, 

 of Essex, Mass., and will be 108fr, over all, 95ft. l.w.i..' 23ft. 9in. 

 beam and 12ft. draft. She will be fitted with housing topmasts, 

 quarterlit'ts, and a stationary jibstay, though the jibs will be set 

 frying. The bobstay will be of chain and wire rope set up with a 

 turphuckle, while the. jibstay, instead of leading through the bow- 

 sprit to the stem, will be shackled into the cranse iron on bow- 

 sprit end. The vessel will be temporarily fitted below as follows: 

 The main companion will be well aft, just forward of the binna- 

 cle. The companion will be placed on the port side so as not to 

 interfere with the binnacle. On the starboard side of the com- 

 panion will be a water closet and wash room, and on the port side 

 a small room in which charts will be kept and oilers hung up, etc. 

 The companion stairs lead to the gentlemen's quarters, a large 

 cabin the width of the boat, with two lengths of transom berths 

 and lockers on either side. Forward of this is the main saloon, 

 12ft. long, and the width otthe boat, with ample sofas ou each side. 

 Forward of the main saloon are four large guests' staterooms, tw o 

 to starboard and two to port. This ends the guests' quarters, as 

 the galley is just forward of the guest staterooms. On the star- 

 board side of the galley is a stateroom which will be occupied by 

 the sailing master, and on the port side a stateroom for the two 

 mates. The crew's quarters are entered from the deck by a fore 

 hatch. There are two spaces partly partitioned off from the main 

 forecastle. The starboard one will be occupied by the cook and 

 steward, and the port by the two quartermasters. Forward of 

 these is the forecastle proper, with bunks for the crew. 



WHIM, schr., Mr. C. W. C'hapin. reached New York on Nov.26, 

 after a passage of eleven days from Key West. She encountered 

 very heavy weather off the coast, but came through it in safety, 

 carrying three large boats on deck besides a naphtha launch.

 new yachts, of which twenty-one are already entered for the first 

 race. The 35ft. class, iu which are the sloops Turk, Kras, Lulu 

 B. and Alert, promises to give some specially lively racing.

The United States Cartridge Co. 



State of California, / 

 Adjutant General's Office, V 

 Sacramento, Nov. 27, 1888. \ 

 Lowell, Mass.: 



Gentlemen— It affords me pleasure to inform you that the fifty 

 thousand rounds of ball cartridges recently purchased from you 

 through Messrs. Chas. Sonntag & Co., of San Francisco, were 

 used in the annual target practice of the National Guard of this 

 State. They gave perfect satisfaction, the powder was good, the 

 balls of uniform weight, and the shells strong and suitable for 

 reloading. The percentage made was higher than that made in 

 the preceding year. Our most experienced officers have in- 

 formed me that they were the best cartridges ever used here. 

 Very respectfrrlly, your obedient servant, 

 —Adv. (Signed) R. H. Outon, Adjutant General.
