ATLANTIC Y. C. CRUISE. 



ALTHOUGH the carefully arranged programme of the Atlantic 

 Y. C. was not carried out, some important changes being 

 necessitated by the weather, the cruise was a complete success, a 

 goodly number of yachts following Com. Hogau's flagship Cav- 

 alier from Whit estouc to Newport. The original plan was to 

 rendezvous at Whitestone on July 13, sailing to Black Rock next 

 day, Saturday, remaining over Sunday, and running to New Lon- 

 don on Monday, racing to Shelter Island on Tuesday for cups 

 offered by the Commodore: thence sailing to Stouington on Wed- 

 nesday, Newport on Thursday and New Bedford on Friday, dis- 

 banding there. The fleet gathered at Whitestone as per orders 

 and tailed on July 13 with a light S.W. wind for Black Rock, the 

 following yacbts being present: Chispa, Gem, Arab, Mabelle, 

 Fanny, Anaconda, Beatrice, Roainer, Athlon, Republic, Vonitiza, 

 Concord, Mouette. Cavalier, Fearless and Azalea. The run was 

 a scrub race, each striving to be in first, though no prizes were 

 offered. The times of arrival at Black Rock were: 



Fanii y — . , 3 53 00 Concord 3 31 00 



Azalea 3 58 130 Beatrice 3 23 00 



Fearless 2 50 30 Arab 3 34 30 



Athlon 3 01 00 Roamer 3 29 00 



Cbispa 3 06 00 Polly 3 30 00 



Cavalier 3 03 CO Yenitzia ... 3 13 00 



Shamrock 3 12 30 



The flagship Daphne, of the Larchmont Y. C, with the cutter 

 Oriva, now owned dy Mr. C. C. Munroe, Nymoh. Curlew and sev- 

 eral others of the Larchmont fleet were at anchor, being on the 

 club cruise. In the evening a ball was given at the George Hotel. 

 Daisy, Stella and Ulga joined the fleet hero. Sunday was spent 

 in port, service being held by the Fleet Chaplain, Rev. W. H. 

 Thomas. In the afternoon several of the smallest yachts started 

 for the Thimble Islands in order to break the long rxin to New 

 London. 



Monday morning brought such a storm from N.E. that part of 

 the fleet decided to remain at Black Rock, but the little Chispa 

 was promptly away when the signal was given, followed by Ana- 

 conda, Fanny, Athlon, Cavalier, Roainer, Azalea and Yenitzia, 

 The wind and sea increased during the morning until Anaconda, 

 after reeling, was glad to torn tail and run for Black Rock again. 

 Concord also had enough, running hack to the anchorage, while 

 Fanny ran into Bridgeport. The Commodore flndmg the fleet so 

 scattered put into New Haven and set the wires at work to find 

 out how many were safe. Only t wo yachts reported from New 

 London, Athlon and Chispa, the latter a forty, all the rest had 

 given up and ruu lo leeward for shelter. Athlon held on, though 

 the weather was far from pleasant, and Mr. Lawton kept his 

 little ship going under gaff trysail when the big schooners Azalea 

 and FeaiJess had had enough. The fleet was scattered all alon™ 

 the Connecticut shore, at Black Rock, Bridgeport, Morris Cove, 

 Thimble Islands, Sachem's Head and New" London, straggling 

 into the latter port during Monday night and Tuesday morning 

 after the storm had abated. Cavalier and Azalea had a private 

 race from Morris Cove to New London, the latter winning. Gem 

 and Roamer had lost topmasts during the cruise, hut joined at 

 New London after making repairs. The race to Shelter Island 

 for the Commodore's cup was sailed on Wednesday, the start 

 being made at 10:06 A. M. The yachts were close-hauled on the 

 first leg, making several tacks to weather Plum Island. At times 

 there was breeze enough to take the topsails off Athlon and Fannv. 

 The full times of the race were as follows-

In this, her first race, the keel forty Chispa made a very good 

 showing with the large centerboard boats. 



At 5:30 A. M. on Thursday the fleet was under way for New- 

 port, i he wind being very light. After noon it dropped entirelv, 

 and the yachts drifted nearly all night, Roamer, Anaconda, 

 Fanny. Azalea and several others reaching Newport before mid- 

 night, and the rest straggling in next morning. A meeting was 

 held on board the flagship, at which it was decided not to pro- 

 ceed to New Bedford, as the weather was bad outside, and the 

 fleet was formally disbanded at Newport. The last event of the 

 cruise was a race on Saturday from Newport to New London be- 

 tween Anaconda and Fanny in a strong N.W. breeze. Anaconda 

 won. Cavalier and some others will go on to Bar Harbor, sev 

 eral of the yachts have returned to New York, and others are 

 stiR about Newport and New Bedford. 



RHODE ISLAND Y. C. ANNUAL REGATTA. 



THE Rhode Island Y. C. sailed a very successful regatta on 

 July lu, the third annual cnampionship for cups in each 

 class, as foHows: Class A, the Low cup; Class B, the Flint cup- 

 Class C, under 24ft., the Anderson cup; each cup to be won three 

 successive times to become, the property of the winning boats. A 

 prize was also given by Yice-Com. F. P. Sand, to he awarded to 

 the yacht in Class A wiunmg under the sail area and waterline 

 measurement, proposed by Mr. Burgess. The courses were for 

 Classes A and B from between ju.igts'hoat and signal off club 

 house, to and around stakeuoat off Gull Point, mouth of Potter's 

 Cove, leaving same on port, and return to starting point, distance 

 20 miles; Cla«s O, from between judges' boat and signal off club 

 house, to and around red spar buoy off Navatt Point, leavm» 

 same on port, back to starting point, distance 8 miles. All boats 

 to go on channel sides of buoys, beacons and lighthouses, except 

 that can buoy 1 mile south of Oonimicut Light, and spar buoy 

 north of Providence Point, might he ignored. The weather was 

 clear with moderate N.W. wind, but quite puffy during the race. 

 Ihe chief interest was in the performance of the new Burgess 40 

 A wa, a yacht similar to Nymph and Verena. She only left Law- 

 leys's a few days before, and was not yet completed" As she had 

 neither spinaker nor clubtopsail these sails were barred bv agree- 

 ment with her rivals. The summary was as foUows:

Winners- First prize: Class A, Peri; Class B, Diamond; Class 

 C, V tetor; Sand's prize, Millie. Regatta committee, R. H. Carver 

 Owen L. beach, Frank E. White, M m. G. Brennen. 



Peri is an old-style centerboard boat, built by Alonzo E. Smith 

 and is but 37ft. l.w.i. Under Mr. Sana's ownership she has been 

 greatly improved, and is kept and raced in excellent form. Awa 

 was great.lv handftapped by new sails and gear and lack of trial. 

 Peri would have won the Sand's prize, a handsome pair of marine 

 glasses, but her owner was the giver of the prize, so it goes to 

 Millie. The open regatta of the club will be sailed about Aug 27 

 and will be open to the 40ft. class. Awa will doubtless be in fair 

 condition by this time, and a race between her and the keel forties 

 would be very interesting. 



GBM HE AD Y O. CRUISE.-On July 13 the fleet of the Great 

 Head 1. C. visited Marblehead, continuing on the following div 

 to the eastward. 



CANARSIE Y. C— The postponed regatta of the Canarsie Y. C 

 was sailed on July 30 over a 13 mile course from Canarsie around 

 the Rockaway Inlet Buoy and rotnrn. The wind was light N.W.

THE DOUGLASS YACHTS AND BOATS.-One of the largest 

 and most comprehensive catalogues of yachts and boats that we 

 have yet seen is thai of the R. J. Dougiass Co., of Waukegan 111 

 in which is described every sort of pleasure craft from a twenty 

 dollar skiff to a fully equipped keel cut fees costing £2,000 and over 

 besides a large line of steam craft. The firm builds every descrip- 

 tion of rowing boats, hunting skiffs, gigs, dinghies, racing shells 

 and barges, besides which it has established an enviable reputa- 

 tion, especially m the West, for canoes, having introduced some 

 very good models of its own, a number of them being of a class in 

 favor on the lakes, from 33 to 40in. beam. The firm has made a 

 specialty of one class of boat that is a branch of its business 

 wtich is likely to prove very successful. This is the designing 

 and building of cruising and racing yachts rcadv for shipment to 

 any point, the only limit of size being that of the ordinary freight 

 car. Thf s< yachts are of excellent design, with lead or iron keels 

 and any rig desired, but mostly the cutter, and are constructed of 

 the best materials. The smallest size is the 18ft. keel cruiser or 

 canoe yawl, and the largest stock size is keel cutter 34ft. over all, 

 27ft. l.w.l., 9ft. extreme beam, 6ft. 6in. draft, 7 tons displacement 

 aVz ton s ot lead on keel. One member of the firm is a trained de- 

 signer and a practical sailor and cruiser as well, and under bis 

 care the mod e'.s of all the boats built are constantlv tested and 

 improved. W itn new shops and a complete wood-working plant 

 as well as a large stock of seasoned material the concern is able' 

 to turn out a far better craft than the average small builder and 

 at a less cost. The list of steam yachts, screw, sidewheel and 

 sternwheelers is quite a long one, including all varieties of 

 launches for hunting, pleasure steaming or working purposes. 



INDIAN HARBOR Y. C.-A regatta under the auspices of the 

 above club will be sailed at Greenwich on Aug. 3, open to the fol- 

 lowing classes of open boats: First— Jib and mainsail bons 23ft 

 S?" under 27ft. Second— Jib and mainsail boats 20ft. and under

 New York Y. R. A., which allow shifting ballast, one man for 

 every 3lt. of sailing length in addition to helmsman, for crew and 

 regulate the time allowance by the Herreshoff table. The course 

 will be from Rockport Point twice around Captain's Island and 

 return; distance about 10 miles. Suitable cups will be given as 

 prizes to the winning boat in each class in which two boais start 

 and a second prize will be given in each class m which five boats' 

 start. Owners of boats in any class desiring to enter for a sweep- 

 stake of $25 each, to be sailed for in addition to the regular prize* 

 are requested to communicate with the committee on or before' 

 Aug. 1. A fee of §1 must accompany each entrv. Entries will

" YACHT AND BOAT SAILING."— We have received a copy 

 ot the sixth edition of this successful work, containing a number 

 of additions, mostly in the direction of small racing and cruising 

 craft, such as have become so popular wit bin the last few years 

 both here and abroad. The new British rule on the one hand and 

 the latest development of yacht designing in America on the 

 other, have tended to a close similarity of typos, and in the small 

 clauses at least there is now little difference. Such yachts us 

 Minima, by Mr. Arthur E. Payne, Madcap, bv Mr. C. I\ Clavton 

 and the design by Mr. Dixon Kemp for a 5-rater, are not widely 

 different from the new thirties, such as Saracen and Kathleen in 

 model. A class of smrll yachts that is this year in great favor in 

 England, and that would prove equally popular here for young 

 Corinthians, is shown in the Mid cap, a keel cutler, 21ft Pin 'j w 1 

 7ft. 3t4in. beam, and oft. 4>4in. draft. These craft, (if w'h'icfi a 

 number have been built this season, are known by the rather un- 

 dignified title of "hencoops," owing to the fact that they are all 

 raced by ladies. They sail about Southampton and are of 2V, 

 rating, Madcap being allowed 700ft. of sail. Her owner, Miss 

 Mabel Cox, has won quite a reputation as a successful racer and 

 now a number of other ladies propose to emulate her. Avery 

 interesting series of designs by Mr. Watson gives some valuable 

 details of the double-skin construction, the yacht being a verv 

 stylish single-bander, of 20ft. l.w.l. and 6ft. 4'/?in. beam, a minia- 

 ture Thistle in outline and finish. The famous r l hamc« racing 

 gigs are represented by the remodelled Ruby and the Mysti rv 

 the latter a very curious craft with a deep forefoot, and no draft aft' 

 the rudder being very large. Among the other new designs is one 

 V,L the - au ,' her ' Mr - D1x ? n f V, em I J . of a very powerful and handsome 

 H it. gig for rowing and sailing, a class of boat that is adapted for 

 pleasure or racing use in all inland waters. The older portion of 

 the book has been revised and brought down to the present date. 



SEAWANHAKA CORINTHIAN Y. C.-The new club book of 

 the Seawan haka Corinthian Y. C. shows a membership of 310, and 

 a. fle< t ot 138 yachts, including 23 steamers, 27 schootn rs.32 decked 

 keel yachts, 37 decked centerboard yachts, and SO open yachts 

 Among other interesting matter the book contains the new 

 routine for colors, salutes, etc., and a valuable article bv Fleet 

 Surgeon J. West Roosevelt, on the treatment of rmdical and 

 surgical emergencies ou yachts. The private signals arc this 

 year for the nrst time arranged on a new and verv convenient 

 plan, being grouped together by their colors instead or alpha bet- 

 lcaUy. 



JP*2P&i$ July 19 at 2:30 RM - tne steel schooner Yampa, 

 Mr. C. W. Chapin, anchored oil Sta ten Island after a voyage of 

 33 days from Havre, the wind being very light and ahead most of 

 the time, lbe run across was made in bettor time, 9 days from 

 New York to Fayal, whence she proceeded to St. Michaels and 

 Madeira, making.tbe run from the latter port to Cadiz, in 52 hours 

 logging am knots in 34 hours. Mr. Cbapin and his two young 

 daughters visited Paris from Cadiz rejoining the yacht at Havre

"Those were pretty good fish stories published the other 

 day," remarked a Nashville gentlemau, to a reporter of the 

 American, "but there is a moderately young man in the 

 real estate business in this city whose experience can dis- 

 count any I ever heard of. Here, last week, he was fishing 

 down in the Big Harpeth River, and had just settled down 

 to business, when a fish came' along and ran off with his 

 hook and line while he was killing it. He looked into the 

 water and saw his disappearing tackle and saw myriads of 

 fine fish sporting amid the waters. He had to return to 

 Nashville at the close of that day, and it wouldn't do to 

 come without something to show tor his skill. Thouah his 

 line was gone, he had plenty of hooks and bait remaining 

 and a desperate expedient flashed through his mind. 

 Divesting himself of all his wearing apparel except the 

 shirt, he carefully tore the rear of that useful a:arment into 

 strips, and upon each he placed a baited hook. Thus 

 equipped, he plunged in the stream aud boldly made for the 

 opposite shore. It seemed that he never had so hard a swim 

 m his life, but he finally reached the bank and unloaded 

 dozens of the finest fish that you ever saw. When he swam 

 back for his clothes he took of! the hooks lest the accumulat- 

 ing weight of the fish might drown him. Those who are 

 not in the secret regard his lack as phenomenal. ' '—Nashville

Missouri is one of the few States in the Union which con- 

 tinue to pay bounties on wolf scalps. A St. Louis paper ex- 

 plains that during the war men were so busy hunting men 

 tnat they paid no attention to wolves, which increased so 

 rapidly as to make sheep-raising impracticable in some of 

 the southern counties. In five years, from 1870 to 1876, the 

 State paid out $1,500,000 for wolf scalps at *3 per scalp. The 

 St. Louis editor says it will take another million and a half 

 to exterminate the wolves of south Missouri.
