also capsized; Malta sailed very well in the rough water, now 

 coming along and soon passing Grade, taking first place. Juni 

 caught Grade before the end of the round, taking second place. 

 The up-river sailors were somewhat at a disadvantage, as this was 

 their first experience with the rough water to which the others 

 were weJl accustomed. At the beginning of the second leg of the 

 second round Starlight broke a rudder brace and was disabled, 

 hut her skipper continued the race, steering with a paddle until 

 the second mark was reached, where he lost his grasp on the pad- 

 dle in the rough water. This did not deter him, however, as he 

 lowered the mainsail, turned the canoe around and ran home 

 stern foremost uudc-r inizenonly, steering with his deck seat. 



The limited race was called at 1:25, one round of the same 

 course, hut by this time a very strong flood tide was running, 

 across which lay the first leg, nearly to windward. Nine started, 

 hut only the Grade succeeded in rouuding the first mark, the 

 tide proving too much for the limited sail plans of the others, so 

 they withdrew. The paddling race was called at 3:15, with four 

 starters, Valesca, H. M. Kreamer; Malta, .1. A. Barten; Mermaid, 

 U. S. Fink; Regina, C. Cunuinghaui. The distance was about % 

 mile. Malta led to the turn, but Valesca caught her there, lead- 

 ing homo and winning after a pretty struggle. The times were 

 Valesca, 7m. 25s.; Malta, 7:'>7; Mermaid, 9:28; Rogina, 9:38. Only 

 two teams started in the tandem race, Valesca, Messrs. Bond and 

 Kreamer, Red Dragon C. C, and Malta, Messrs, Barten and Cun- 

 ningham, Quaker City C. C. Valesca again won.

Annual Reoatta, Sept. 28. 

 Only yachts entered for the annual regatta in Juno were allowed 

 in the race of Friday, so the list was the same, with the loss of 

 Anita, Hillman and Iola in the fourth class, and the addition of 

 Minerva in the third. The day was clear, the wind being fresh 

 from N.W., with the tide favorable over both legs of the 36-mile 

 course, from the club house around a markboa t. off Marcus Hook. 

 Besides the regular prizes, there were the Middleton challenge 

 cup for the best corrected time in Class I., the Valletfe challenge 

 cup for the best corrected time in Class 11., and the Ellis challenge 

 cup for the hest elapsed time in any class. The start was given 

 from thcVolante at 10:45, the fleet going over in a string close 

 under her stem, all on starboard tack. The order was Alva, 

 Juanita, Monarch, Minerva, Restless. Consort, Helen, Osceola, 

 Venitzia, Nalvma. All except Minerva carried working topsails, 

 she sailing with housed topmast. The first long leg oh the wind 

 brought them down nearly to League Island, then all were obliged 

 to tack. Restless very so, n took the lead, she and Venitzia leav- 

 ing all the others astern. A long stretch on starboard tack 

 brought them down to Chester, where they were obliged to make 

 several tacks, anally laying a course for the turn off Marcus Look . 

 Restless was timed at 12:46:50; Venitzia, 12:49:39; Helen, 1:05:1X1; 

 Juanita, 1:13:35; Osceola, 1:14:56; Nalvma, 1:16:00; Monarch, 1:16:16; 

 Consort, 1:18:20; Alva was not timed. 



Restless set a iibtopsail at the mark and began to travel very 

 fast with the wind off the port quarter. Venitzia also set a iib- 

 topsail, and when off Chester, the wind coming well aft, dropped 

 her spinakcr boom and ran up her spinaker. She was gaining on 

 the leader until the latter set a spinaker as well, but she carried 

 it only a minute before the halliard parted and it was taken in. 

 Venitzia also had some trouble with hers, and after a short time 

 took it in as well. Off the up jer end of Tinicum Island the wind 

 drew ahead, and with boom in a little more Restless began to 

 gain again on her rival. Venitzia was carrying a large jib-topsail 

 that drew very well, but Restless had a iibtopsail with a very 

 high clew, so that it could not be properly trimmed with the main 

 boom off, thus hurting her considerably. With boom in and top- 

 sail sheet led further aft she promised easily to repeat the victory 

 of the previous day, but about 2 P. M. there came a little rain 

 with some heavy puffs, in one of which her topmast went just 

 above the cap. The iibtopsail was quickly cleared, but no attempt 

 was made to lower the wreck and she sailed home with the top- 

 mast and topsail hanging to leeward from the gaff end. Venitzia 

 at once took warning and lowered jibtopsail, also dropping the 

 head of her topsail for a time. 



Off the mouth of the Schuylkill the puffs were very heavv and 

 at first Restless hardly missed the extra canvas, but near home 

 the wind was steadier and Venitzia, with jibtopsail set, began to 

 overhaul her very fast. Minerva was passed here, coming home 

 under two reefs and the remains of her jib, but a hard puff 

 cruelly robbed her of the last rag of headsail, leaving her to 

 work in under mainsail only. Off League Island Venitzia caught 

 Restless, and as the wind dropped and the course opened freer 

 at the same time, she rapidly left her rival. In the last couple 

 of miles Venitzia increased her lead, but still was enabled to save, 

 her timo off of Restless, in fact only the loss of her topmast pre- 

 vented Restless from winning on elapsed time and taking the 

 Middleton cup, which now goes to Venitzia for the second,, time. 

 The result of the two races has been to show that the alterations 

 to Restless have improved her very much indeed and given Ve- 

 nitzia a more dangerous rival than she has ever had before. The 

 full times were:

MIG-NON,— Mr. Babson's cutter will be altered this winter by 

 an addition of Win. freeboard a.midship and Sin. at each end, a 

 flush deck being laid in place of the present cabin house, a small 

 steering cockpit being retained. A ton of lead will also be trans- 

 ferred from inside to the keel. Mr. Babsou now offers to make a 

 match with Saracen for three races, to be sailed in June or July 

 next, for $500 per side. 



ADELAIDE.— The wreck of the Adelaide was examined by a 

 diver last week and a contract was made with the Chapman 

 Wrecking Co. to raise her for $1,000. On Tuesday she was hoisted 

 by Chapman's derrick aud beached opposite to where she sank. 

 She will be repaired so as to allow her to be towed to City Island.

THE GRAYLING-SACHEM MATCHES. 



UNLIKE the owners in some of the other classes, Mr. Fish of 

 the Grayling and Messrs. MetCalf and Owens of the Sachem 

 were not content with the flat and inconclusive events of t his 

 season, hut proposed to settle the question of the Superiority o% 

 their yachts by a series of three private matches, the stakes being 

 $1,000 per side. The arrangements were made a few weeks since, 

 Newport being agreed on as the location of the courses, the first 

 13 Knots to windward and return, the second a triangle of 12 knots 

 on a side, and the third, if necessary, the same as the first. The 

 dates were set for Oct. 1, 2 and 3. both yachts hauling out in the 

 meanwhile for a thorough overhauling. On Oct. 1 the weather 

 was cold and rainy, but with a strong S.E. wind. The tug B. T. 

 Haviland was seiit away to log off the course, while the judges 

 were on the torpedo boat Stiletto. 



Shortly after 10 A.M. the racers worked out to the start, off 

 Brenton's Reef Lightship, where the gun was fired at 11:25, the 

 start being at 11:40. During the quarter of an hour interval the 

 two yachts maneuvered for place. Grayling finally coming out 

 ahead, crossing at 11:40:42 to windward on starboard tack. Both 

 carried working topsails, Grayling having also a baby jibtopsail. 

 Sachem was timed at 11:41:35, 53s. astern of Grayling. The first 

 tack was a long one, Grayling gaining steadily. At 12:30 she went 

 on port tack, soon after crossing Sachem's bows, the latter tack- 

 ing to windward of Grayling at 12:23:30. Another long tack fol- 

 lowed, Grayling going on starboard tack at 1:18, followed by Sa- 

 chem at 1 :21. The markboat was turned as follows: 



Grayling 2 3115 Sachem 2 23 03 



Grayling bad thus gained nearly a minute. She jibed her boom 

 to port and started on the run home, being a little slow with her 

 spinaker through something fouling aloft. She had it drawing in 

 about four minutes, and then began to leave Sachem, the latter, 

 using au extension spinaker boom, being nearly a quarter of an 

 hour setting the sail. Both carried main clubtopsails and balloon 

 jibtopsails on the run. Sachem gained a little but was beaten by 

 2m. 30s. corrected time, the summary being: 



Start. Finish. Elapsed. Corrected. 



Grayling 11 43 42 3 39 20 3 58 38 3 57 02 



Sachem 11 41 35 3 41 07 8 51 32 3 59 33 



Mr. Burgess sailed with Capt. Hansen on Sachem, while Mr. 

 Fish and Capt. Terry handled Grayling. 



Tuesday morning was hazy, with a strong S.W. wind, but by 11 

 o'clock both yachts were beating out to the start, off Brenton's 

 Reef Lightship, carrying both working topsails. At 11:45 the pre- 

 paratory gun was fired, with the start at 12 o'clock. Grayling led 

 over the line by 56s., on port tack, set ring her baby jiptopsail, 

 while Sachem set her maintopmaststaysail. For nearly half an 

 hour the pair held on port tack toward Narragansett Pier, Gray- 

 ling laying closer to windward, with Sachem going ahead faster. 

 At 12:25 Sachem tacked. Grayling following soon after, and then 

 lowering foresails and running for harbor under mainsail and 

 headsails, having sprung her foremast. 



Sachem continued the course alone, the sea being very high and 

 (he wind strong. As it is too late to replace Grayling's mast this 

 B eason the match will be abandoned. 



CATBOAT RACING AT NEWPORT— On Sept. 29 a race was

SMALL CRAFT IN NEW YORK WATERS. — The number of 

 small sailing boats of various kinds, canoe yawls, Whitehall 

 boats, snealtboxes and other eraft, bias increased very rapidly 

 within the last three years, aud there are now a great mam 

 about New York. Statcn Island and the end of Long Island Sound. 

 An effort is now on foot to gather as many as possible from the 

 latter part into a club, under the title of the Huguenot Mosquito 

 Fleet, the headquarters being near New Rochelie. Any one desir- 

 ous of taking part in the movement may learn more of by address- 

 ing J. W. Gibson, 757 Broadway, New York. A meeting for 

 organization will bo called soon. 



Answers to fUgomspandmtg. 



T. K. L., Red Bank, N. J.— A canoe 15x28x10 will answer best 

 for your use, a model with nearly flat, floor. Such a canoe will be 

 too heavy to carry alone for any distance; but for ordinary handl- 

 ing and paddling a few pounds more will make no difference. 

 Tne Shadow is no longer used and the Rob Roy is but little used. 



W. W. L.,Minneapolis.-Please give me a (1.) list of the best works 

 on practical trout culture. I have Stone's "Domesticated Trout," 

 Green and Roosevelt's "Fish Hatching and Catching," and J. H. 

 Slack's "Trout Culture." 2. Would a spring brook three mileslong, 

 ten feet, wide, average brook depth (tour or five feet in the holes 

 and as many inches on the rapids) a natural trout stream, on 

 which I can fill a 12-pound creel any day, support without being 

 fed fifty thousand quarter-pound trout? 3. Is Livington Stone's ad- 

 dress Charlstown. N. H.? 4. Does he still operate the hatchery there? 

 Do you know of auy trout stream stocked and operated for market 

 purposes exclusively, aud are they a pecuniary success? Ans. 1. 

 Vou have the best already. 2. No. 3. He may still have an inter- 

 est there, but is superintending a hatchery for the United States 

 at Clackamas, Oregon. 4. No, hut there are streams which yield 

 a revenue from the fishing. We know of a man who sells spawn 

 and lets anglers fish in the stream, gets up trout suppers for city 

 parties and lets his grounds for picnics, and by all t his makes a 

 living. We have had practical experience in trout culture, and 

 would not encourage any man to try to breed trout for market, if 

 he has to feed them, and it requires unusual facilities in the way 

 of natural food to make it profitable to let the fishing. Your 

 stream seems to be a good one, and to keep it up to its present 

 standard should be stocked with fry every year. Tbe price for 

 fishing in New York State is usually one dollar per pound for the 

 catch. 



H. F. H., Ontario.— While sailing in my yacht in Lake Ontario 

 a few days ago, I noticed that, several eels, on the average of 

 about two feet in length, kept clinging to the iron rudder. They 

 seemed to attach themselves by the head ami throat in some way 

 and would not let go tneir nold until struck with a stick. At least 

 a dozen must have done this at various intervals. It was in the 

 afternoon toward evening that this occurred. Is not this unusual? 

 Ans. They were lampreys; creatures somewhat resembling the 

 eel in general appearance, but belonging to the Pttromyzontidce. a 

 family of fishes so very low in the scale that some naturalists are 

 unwilling to have them classed among true fishes. They are semi 

 parasitic in their habits, fastening themselves on sturgeon and 

 other large fish, and sucking their blood. The arrangement of the 

 mouth gives the clue to this peculiar habit, it is perfectly circu- 

 lar, with a fleshy lip covered with tentacles and supported by a 

 cartilaginous frame work. The whole interior of the mouth is 

 covered with strong teeth arranged in concentric circles, and even 

 the tongue has serrated teeth, the whole structure constituting a 

 powerful sucker. The lampreys are known in Europe, and several 

 species arc common to our Atlantic coast, tbe New England 

 rivers and the Great Lakes; some of them are migratory. They 

 are born blind, and bury themselves in the mud as soon as they 

 escape from the egg, and they are said to be four or five years in 

 reaching maturity. As a food fish they have a good local'reputa- 

 tioii in Connecticut, where the lamprey fishing is still carried on 

 and the fish salted down in barrels. They are a rich, oily fish, 

 and were formerly very highly esteemed in Europe. King Henry 

 I., of England, is said to have died of gorging himself with 

 stewed lampreys, a. dish of which he was inordinately found. The 

 term Petromyzon is ascribed to the order from their peculiar 

 habit of adhering to stones. They are supposed to do this in 

 swift currents to prevent being carried away. It is probable that 

 when thus engaged they are generally feeding on the minute 

 organisms adhering to the stone. But it appears that they are 

 able to transport stones with which they fortify their hiding 

 places.
