FOREST AND STREAM. 



This very appropriate nami has been siren him on account of 

 his ability in liftnfiLtng that well-known c noeists' dish, liam ani 

 egg?. (Je probably won't now regret the enormous quantity I 

 ones ate wiien lie innocently offered to fill ras with breakfast. It 

 is a year or two aa;o, but I can almost tas e fie sweet, flavor of it 

 in my moath, once tasted never to be f jrgotten.) The O isf was 

 always a handy fellow to have around ; as a small boy his brothers 

 used to utilize him when they went on foragins? parties to the 

 pantry for reaching' the jam off the top shelf, and up to date he 

 has the record of being the only man who can stand in his canoe 

 and monkev with his topmast. 



Canoeing! Yes, canoeing is boomingin Toronto. The member- 

 ship of the club is now up in the nineties and still coming in, 

 while one of the rowing clubs has forty odd canoes in its racks, 

 and the yacht club is full of 'em. 



One of the latest craft to arrive is the 30ft. open canoe to hold 

 16 paddlers; she looks well, all keeping stroke, and shoots along 

 at a great rate. Vice-Commodore Jacques is captain of her crew, 

 which number from 1 to 16. the writer, on account of the size of 

 his feet, is last on the list, so as he can kick the small boy who 

 tries to nang on, I guess. 



The Boteas has changed hands, did you sav? Bhs is still in the 

 club, though, while Mr. Neilson knocks around the Muskoka 

 lakes with a craft large enough to hold wife and family. 



Among the new craft which are expected to be speedy is a new 

 Hyla from the Ontario Canoe Co., and one of the same model for 

 W. Smith. The secretary now sail'" last year's Hyla. Mr. Wilton 

 Morse now spins around in the '88 Mac under the name of Grweu, 

 while her former owner is getting a new article from Wm. Eng- 

 lish, of Pefurboro. W. A. Leys has disposed of the Da wn to Colin 

 Fraser, Northern Division purser, who i3 re-rigging her. Levs 

 has dropped tailing for a season, and comes out as a single-blade 

 paddler in a new open canoe built, by Geo. Warria, the shell 

 builder, 16x30x12, and weighs 25lbs. The first sailing race of the 

 season comes off .Tune 15. A committee will handicap all who can 

 hoist a rag. Mac. 



Toronto, June 7. 



CORINTHIAN MOSQUITO FLEET, JUNE 8-1 O. 



THE first regatta of the Corinthian Mosquito Fleet was sailed 

 off Horseshoe Cove. Larchmont, on June 8, with an extreme- 

 ly light air, though at no time did the wind drop out. There were 

 fifteen entries received by letter, but light wind and various rea- 

 sons prevented several from being present. The course for put- 

 ters was from starting line— between a stakeboat and the flag- 

 ship Hyacinth— to Gangway Buoy and return, distance sevea 

 miles (short enough for a good breeze, but too long for the brteze 

 that was blowing, for they did nor. finish until after dark). The 

 course for other classes was a triangle formed by Flagship No. 2, 

 spar buoy on Hen and Chickens Bief and a stakebo.it off New 

 Rochelle, sailed twice over, distance five miles. The starters for 

 Gangway Buoy were cutters Nanita and Roamer, sloop lanthe, 

 chased fifteen minutes later by the schooner or yawl Unique, who 

 was delayed in coining from Greenwich by the' light wiad. The 

 Unique raced for fastest time over the course. The starters were-

The special regatta of the Corinthian Mosquito Fleet on June 10 

 for the two cups presented by the Larohmmt ST. C. was sailed in 



a steady sailing breeze from 9.S.W. over a triangular course 

 formed by strip id spar oaoy Mo. 2, o f Lwvhva. >at, s^ar buoy So. 

 2, on Hen and Chickens, and black ssar off Cjustable Point, twice 

 round, making total distance 5 miles. 



Mr. Osgood, of the steam yacht Norwal, very graciously tend- 

 ered his naphtha launch to Mr. Augustus Monroe and Mr. Rus- 

 sel Henderson, who kindly officiated as regatta committee for 

 tne Mosquito Fleet. 



Although the fleet numbers 20 boats only 7 started in this race. 

 The interest of the day was in the yawl class, Lestris, Waif and 

 Gnat, as the other four did not class and only raced for fastest 

 time over the course, which wa9 easily won by cat Belle, outsail- 

 ing everything. The Lestris was sailed by Com. Thornton Smith, 

 her sails being handled by her owner, Dr. Ledyard. The Waif 

 was sailed by her owner, L. D. Huntington. Jr., and tne Gnat by 

 her owner, Vice-Corn. Ciapham. The Lestris chased the Waif 

 once and a half around and gained enough down the wiud with 

 spinakers out to starboard on the second leg to establish an over- 

 lap just at the turn of the black buoy. This gave the Lesti-is a 

 lead, which back on the wind, with both men lying flat on deck, 

 she increased, so making one shore hitch to cross to two tacks of 

 the Waif, and finally winning.

IANTHE C. C. SPRING REGATTA, JUNE 8. 



WHEN the hour arrived for the first event of the spring regatta 

 of the lanthe C. C. on June 8, Mr. W. R. Burling in the 

 Clara R. and Mr. W. J. Stewart in the Scoot were awaiting the 

 starting signal for Class L, paddling, which was won by Mr. Bur- 

 ling. Prize, a canoe lantern. 



The sailing races were next in order but had to be postponed on 

 account of the absence of that most important, factor, wind. 

 Class IV., paddling, record event, was won by B. Fredricks in the 

 canoe Bachelor with L. B. Palmer in Neola a close second. Prize 

 a camp table set in case. 



The junior honors in paddling Class IV. were contested by O. 

 T. Cornier of the lanthe and F. A. Phillips of the Brooklyn C. C 

 Phillips led more than half the distance, but was passed by Con- 

 ner, who won by three lengths. Prize, a book. 



The starters m the standing paddling race were C. V. Schuyler 

 of the Arlington C. C. in Atalanta, W. P. Dodge of the lanthes, 

 canoe lanthe, B. Fredericks, lanthe, canoe Bachelor, and O. T. 

 Conner, ia^the, canoe Anita. The race was a close one, the con- 

 testants finishing in the order named. The prize was a tobacco 

 pouch. 



One of the most interesting events was the tandem paddling, in 

 which four crews started. They were T. Collins and W. Collins 

 of Bayonne Rowing and Athlecic Club, Canoe Water Witch; W. 

 J. Stewart and L. B. Palmer of the lanthe, canoe Neola; W. R. 

 Burling and J. Duguid. canoe Nilo; B. Fredricks and O. T. Con- 

 ner, canoe Bachelor. After an exciting race the Collins Brothers 

 won with tne other crews close behind in the order named. Two 

 handsome silk flags were the prizes. 



A tug of war in < anoes was the next event, and created con- 

 siderable enthusiasm. The contestants were all members of the 

 lanthe C. C. Burling and Duguid in the Nilo drew Fredericks 

 and Conner in the Bachelor about 15ft. in one minute. A folding 

 anchor and a canoe lantern were the prizes. 



By this time the wind made its appearance, though in a very 

 uncertain quantity, and the sailing record and sailing juniors 

 were started together with the following entries: P. F. Hogan, 

 Brooklyn C. C, in canoe Wind; F. A. Phillips, Brooklvn C. C, 

 canoe Cyrus, which is an improved Eclipse; G. P. Douglass, 



lanthe C. C, oanoi NenemiOHka; L. B. Pilanr, Iautha O. C M

 perhaps they were sweethearts, but Hog in seemoi to woo them 

 both very successfully, for he cam-i in first, with D laglass not far 

 behind. Phillips soon cams al ms an.! took the j unior prize, a 

 handsome banner. Hogan and Douglas3 took first and second 

 prize flags for the re -,ord rice respectively. Taj unset sailing 

 race was won by Palmer with Hogan a close second. The evening 

 was spent merrily with supper, songs, etc.

F. C. C— The fishing in Lake George is chiefly for lake trout 

 and black bass.

Here is an item from the Hartford Times, which shows how the 

 dog law works: "It is a serious matter to befriend a dog in New 

 Haven, especially if the friendless brute takes a notion to follow 

 its benefactor. Michael H. Reilly, a jeweler who recently moved to 

 town and lives on Lafayette street, several days ago threw a piece 

 of meat to a wandering dog. Since then he has several times 

 tried to drive the dog away. On Monday he was charged in the 

 City Court with keeping an unregistered dog. He told this story 

 and put on a witness to corroborate. Judge Pickett said he was 

 within the law and fined Reilly $1. The latter appealed." 



The little five year-old son of H. C. Shaw of Gray's River 

 was missed from his home a few days ago and could not be 

 found. Just as his parents were becoming alarmed he came 

 toddling in with a string of forty-eight fine trout which he 

 had caught in Crooked Creek.— Vancouver (.Washington
