FOREST AND STREAM. 



[May 30, 1889. 



leading at the start, but finally beinc: badly beaten by Valkyrie. 

 Yarana went on the wrons; side of the mark boat at the finish, 

 and so was disqualified. The iinish was timed: 



Valkyrie 8 It IS Deerhound V 13 15 



Ires (i 38 11 Amphitrite 7 16 19 



Yarana 7 1:2 11 



The Royal Harwich regatta was sailed on May 27, again in light 

 weather, the wind being moderate from E. Valkyrie led all day, 

 wbile Yarana led Irex for a good part of the race. Tbe yachts 

 were timed at the Sunk Light: 



Vsilkyrie 3 31 10 Irex 3 42 30 



Yarana 2 38 40 



From bere in a close reach of 8 miles Irex passed Yarana and 

 gained on Valkyrie. The finish was very slow and tedious, being 

 limed: 



Valkyrie 4 10 03 Yarana 4 29 29 



Irex 4 2.2 55 



Over the 35 mile course Ires allows Valkyrie 3min. SOsee. and 

 Yarana Sniin. 37sec. This race in particular would indicate that 

 Valkyrie, with brand new canvas and untried gear, was in very 

 poor form in the first races, but is improving rapidly. 



The return race to Southend was sailed on Mav'28, Irex beat- 

 ing Yax-ana Vy 21min. 9see., and Valkyrie by 22mm. 8sec. No 

 particulars are yet to hand, but the times indicate that tbe race 

 was sailed in a strong breeze. 



While from such meagre reports of 'flaky and light weather 

 races with larger and smaller boats it is impossible to form any 

 correct idea of Valkyrie's speed; it would appear that she was 

 under the ordinary disadvantages incident to a new boat, and 

 that some of these are disappearing under trial, and also that she 

 is by no means a failure, but a very fast yacht. How she will be 



The starting signal was given at 2:58, Kiowa leading off under 

 three reefs, Eina having in only two. Kiowa soon shook out one 

 reef and Etna got the lead while she was doing so; Kiowa began 

 to gain however and passed Eina off Pine's Buoy. She kept on 

 gaining on the long tack to the Bird Island shore; she seemed to 

 her crew three minutes ahead; here Eina got a slant and gained 

 half the distance; as the wind was a little lighter here, both 

 shook out a reef. 



Kiowa rounded Bird Island Buoy with a lead of lmin. 15sec. 

 shaking out her last reef as she did so; Eina in shaking out her 

 reef tore the sail at the reef cringle. From Bird Island the boats 

 were dead before it. Etna gained but could not catch Kiowa, who 

 won by 48sec. Course, 10 nautical miles, 5 of them dead to wind- 

 ward. Time of race, Kiowa 2:03:04, Eina 2:03:52. X. Y. Z. 



narrow a craft, but still small compared with the American 

 yachts of her class. 



BEVERLY Y. C, BUZZARD'S BAY. 



THE owners of Eina and Kiowa, both dissatisfied with the light 

 wind on which their races of May 15 and 16 were sailed, made 

 a m«tch at that time to he sailed over tbe same course in the first 

 double reef south wester. 



On May 22 it was blowing a three reef south wester and the boats 

 prepared for the race; it was however late before they could meet 

 and after the siait the wind moderated somewhat, still there was 

 a good b. eeze and tbe sea, though not heavy, was much rougher 

 than on the previous days. 



PHOTOS OF NEW YORK YACHTS.— Mr. N. L. Stebbins has 

 met with such success in his useful little volume "The Yachts- 

 man's Souvenir," that he proposes to publish a larger book, in- 

 cluding about 300 New York yachts. His plan is to visit New 

 York, the Sound and the Hudson in his yacht Galatea, about 

 June 10, remaining for several weeks, during which time he will 

 be glad of any opportunities to secure good views of yachts. 



VONKERS CORINTHIAN Y. C— This energetic young club 

 will soon be in possession of one of the handsomest houses about 

 New York. The opening reception in the new club house will be 

 held to-night, and to judge from the hustling the entertainment 

 committee has been doing for some time past the members and 

 their friends are bound to have a "bery large time, sah."

 legs 1ft. long; bill Sin. long, black; legs yellow; eyes black with a

A Reader., New York.— Kindly inform me of the nearest lake 

 in Canada where good fishing is to be had. Please state the route 

 on which it is located, the car fare and also the address of some 

 hotel close by. Ans. A correspondent recommends Lake Sey- 

 mour, in Quebec, one of the lakes on the east branch of the 

 Mastigouche River. The trout fishing is said to be of the best. 

 The route is by the Canada Pacific Railway from Montreal 

 (5 P. M ) to St. Gabriel de Brandon (9 P. M. same night), stop there 

 over night, and leave for the lake (15 miles) next morning. The 

 Mastigouche House, on the lake, is kept by E. M Copeland (P. O. 

 address, St. Gabriel de Brandon); board $1.50 per day, boats 50 

 cents, guides, when wanted, $1.50. 



L. P. N., East Randolph, N. Y.— We have a creek here with lots 

 of trout in its headwaters and the first mile of its length, but 

 there are seven ponds below where the trout are in which they will 

 not stay on account of sawdust. Is there any way of stopping 

 their putting the dust in the ponds? If so, how, and whom shall 

 I see? There are salmon and speckled trout here and lots of them, 

 but thev are growing less every year. The owners of tbe ponds 

 would clean them out and make room for the fish if they can stop 

 their being filled up. If it can be stopped, how much will it cost? 

 Ans. According to the fish laws, sawdust cannot be thrown into 

 any of the waters of the State except in streams which form the 

 motive power of the machinery or manufacturing establishments 

 when it is absolutelv necessary for the manufacturing purposes 

 carried on in such establishments to run the refuse matter and 

 material thereof into such stream. Write to S. A. Roberts, game 

 and fish protector, Buffalo, N. Y., stating the case to him. If this 

 does not come under the esception mentioned you should have no 

 difficulty in stopping the deposit of sawdust without any cost to 

 yourself.
