BUDD VS. KLEINZ.-J. F. Kleiuz is out with a card telling 

 his neighbors in Philadelphia that they have a chance to see a 

 good match. He says: "The people iu this vit iui' y will he able 

 to witness a contest, no doubt worth lookiugat, at the Gloucester 

 base ball grounds, on Saturday, Oct. 5, between the holder of the 

 American field championship, OB.pt. C. W. Budd, of Des Moines. 

 Ia., and myself, at 100 live pigeons, 5 traps, Hurlingham nibs, for 

 a purse of 8500. Rudd defeated me at Chicago, 111.. 98 to 94, and I 

 expect, either to give him a good shaking up or a defeat. He is 

 considered the champion of tne Western people, and coutem- 



Elates leaving for England with R.Borgan, his backer, of Chicago, 

 II.. to give the people on the other side a chance to meet him at 

 the score this fall." 



BUFFALO, Sept. 12.— Dr. Bartlett concluded successfully his 

 attempt to beat Dr. Carver's record of breaking 60,000 glass balls 

 in six days. Dr. Bartlett began on Saturday, at 6-30 A. M., and 

 continued 22 hours a day. On the first dav he broke 12,020, Sun- 

 day 10.017, Moudav 10,105. Tuestlav 10.591, Wednesday 9.606, I burs- 

 day 11,675. He finished at, 5:30 P. M , to-day, with u total of 04,017. 

 On tne third day he was timed, and he broke 500 balls in 17 

 minutes, and a consecutive 500 m 28 minutes. Then he made a 

 spurt to break the record, and he broke 500 in 1-1 minutes, break- 

 ing Oaklej, 's record of 100 in 3 minutes 30 seconds. Dr. Bartlett 

 also achieved the phenomenal record of breaking 20 balls in 8 

 seconds. 



TORONTO, Sept. 14.— The Stanley Gun Club members shot for the 

 thirteenth lime to-day for the handsome gold watch presented to 

 the club by its president. Quite a handful assembled, and the 

 shooting all through was fair. Mr. Eraond topped the list with 22 

 out of 35. This is nis second win. Already twelve other mem- 

 bers have their monogram engraved on its case. The shoot was 

 on McDowall & Co.'s gr muds at 5 traps. Several sweeps at sin- 

 gles and douoles followed.

"West India Hurricanes and the Great. March Blizzard.'''' By 

 Everett Ha yd en, U. S. Hydrographic Office. Large quarto, With SS 

 lithographic plates. Price $1. Contains full history of the great 

 storm of March, 188S. with practical information how to handle a 

 vessel in a cyclone; use of oil at sea, etc. 



THE STORM ON THE COAST. 



THE yacht clubs and owners here suffered severely from the 

 storm of the past week, the greatest sufferers being the 

 owners of small yachts. The 1-rger craft have ridden out the 

 storm in the principal harbors between Oepe Ann and Cape May, 

 but the small craft have been badly damaged. The tides on 

 Staten Island have been higher by a font than at any time iu a 

 dozen years or more. At Harlem. Port Morris, Cow Bay, Cum- 

 munipaw, and many other places yachts have been carried away 

 and wrecked. At Whittstone the sloop Saracen, Mr. G. R, Bur- 

 rows, Atlantic Y. C, went ashore, but was hauled off with some 

 damage. On Thursday the sloop Defiance, N. J. Y. O., owned by 

 Mr. Letts and Richard Bartley, went ashore at Ihe Atlantic 

 Highlands, being a total loss. Two sloops were thrown ashore m 

 Llojd's Harbor. On Monday as the cuiter Kathleen was coming 

 from Larchinont to Bav Ridge with Mr. Whitlock and a man and 

 boy on board, she picked up a young man from a capsized cat- 

 boat, where he had clung for three hours. The cathoat, Gussie, 

 was 25ft. l.w.L, with a 35ir. mast, and in eailing her alone in the 

 storm she capsized off Execution. The ht avy sea made it a diffi- 

 cult mat ter to rescue the man, Mr Whitlock Dually rowing off in 

 hi? yawl for him. At Atlantic Basin the schooners Marguerite 

 and Monte uk were in collision, also the sloops Ariadne and An- 

 nie. The regatta of the Columbia Y. C. set for Sept. 14, was in- 

 definitely postponed. 



A CRUISE IN A 15FT, BOAT. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The Anderson is a cat-rigged oppn boat, 7ft. beam, 31in draft, 

 ballasted with 6001 bs. of iron low down amidships uuder the door. 

 W. J. Harlaud and W. W. Ashuurst wrote me from Cape May, 

 and on their return left me the inclosed outline of their trip. The 

 average ace of these gentlemen scarcely reaches 21 years. They 

 had never cruised in Delaware Bay before, but are fond of sating 

 and handle tne suck admirably, with no lack of grit and pluck, 

 as their log attests. You will probably surmise by their notes that 

 they read the Forest and Stream as to small cruisers, which, no 

 doubt, suggested this trip. Taking into consideration the unset- 

 tled state of the weather, etc., the cruise was a remarkable one, 

 inasmuch as not even a rope yarn was broken. 



R. G. Wilkins 



We started from Cooper's Point Wednesday, Aug. 7, at 12 M., 

 and nothing of importance having occurred all day anchored oft 

 Deep Water Point at 7 P. M., where some people trom Wilming- 

 ton wt re camping on shore; weighed anchor at 10 P. M. and con- 

 tinued our course until we reached Ray Side at H A.M Thursday, 

 where we mailed letters. Leaving Ray Side immediately, we con- 

 tinued our voyage without accident or event of any kind until 11 

 P. M., when we st ruck a shoal near shore off Davis Creek; the t'de 

 was nearly out, so soon alter the turn we were again afloat, but 

 the wind, which had hitherto been always light and fair, was 

 now becoming so high tnat we decided it was best to anchor a 

 little further off shore and wait lor daylight to continue our trip. 



Early the next morning we started, and iu a short time made 

 Fishing Creek, where we ran in to wait for the tide: the crew of 

 the. sloop yacht Restless, formerly Sunbeam, first class sloop, 

 Quaker City Y. 0., three Philadelphians. very kindly offered to 

 tow us down to the Cape in the morning from their anchorage off 

 Fishing Creek, as they expected to rejoin t he well-known steam 

 yacht Restless, owned by Mr. Singerly, proprietor of the Phila- 

 delphia Record, awaiting their return off Pond Creek at the 

 steamboat lauding on Cape May Point. We left our anchorage at 

 the time agreeo upon, hut for some reason or other tne Restless 

 could not get off, and we were ooliged to sail down alone, making 

 Pond Creek just, in time to get iu with the falling tide, where we 

 were given a warm welcome and partook of the hospitality of 

 Capt. James Murray of the keel sloop Razzle-Dazzle am dpt. 

 Charles Sims of the sloop Dolphin. Saturday we spent most of 

 the; time in Cape May City, returning to the Anders m by the last 

 train. Sunday was passed very pleasantly aboard of the two 

 sloops in Pond Creek, and with t ne evening half flood tile we left 

 our anchorage, and having rounded the Cape, turned and started 

 up the bay, hoping to make Egg Island Light, for which we made 

 directly, steering by compass. The weatuer had promised to be 

 fine, but before we had gone half the distance, about twenty 

 miles, the wind began to rise; the tides carried us further and 

 further out into the bay, in what direction we had no means of 

 ascertaining. The lights in sight were those of Caps May. Cross 

 Ledge, Brandy wine Shoal and Egg Island Point; these did not 

 help us, as we could not determine which was which; we did not 

 know whether one of the lights toward the north was at East 

 Point (Maurice River) or at Egg Island Point: whether another 

 toward the. northwest was Cross Ledge or Egg Island L^ght; 

 whether another toward thesoutn was rienfopeu or Brandywine 

 Shoal. The wind was rising from N. N. W. making it impossible 

 to reach land nearer than about twenty miles; the Anderson car- 

 ried a double reef quite well and did not ship any water; we kept 

 the lead going and when on the extreme edge of the o\ ster region 

 found about 3J-S fathoms and dropped anchor; to steady the boat 

 we were compelled (o keep the centerboard down and sit on the 

 bottom. The wind was now blowing a stiff breeze and the waves 

 were about 8ft. high. We exp?eted every moment to be swamped, 

 but the Anderson during the whole night never shipped over half 

 a bucketful of wter; we had the rudder unshipped and every- 

 thing on board made fast and taut; we thus passed the night. A 

 drag was improvised m case the boat did not hold ou. 



Next day the wind veered to S. and S. W. and we made for Egg 

 Island Point. We sailed on until we reached Pennsgrovy at tj p. 

 M. and made fast to the Ar adne of Portland; in half au In air the 

 tide wa° in our favor and we made up the river to Cherry Island 

 flats where we anchored at 2 A.M. Tuesday. At 6 A.M. again t c 

 tide, we started up the river and continued until we reached 

 Philadelphia at 3 P.M. 



On the way up the wind, sometimes strong, sometimes light, 

 was in our favor; we encountered a squall off Red Bank hut con- 

 tinued our course, merely dropping our peak. There wa? very little 

 rain during the whole trip and the weather on the whole was very 

 ™ood; we took on water at Deep Water Point and Cape May 

 ^oint, in both going and coming, easily making the distance, 103 

 miles, in a day and a half. Every one assured us that ours was 



the smallest craft that had ever ventured so far down the bav; in 

 every way the Anderson was worthy of praise, tailing well in all 

 kinds of winds, riding beautifully over the waves in storms and 

 behaving in every way as well as could be desired. 



IS MINERVA A RACING MACHINE? 



" ir pHE Minerva is simply a racing machine,' said Mr. Burgess 

 J- to the writer a few days ago. There was Ao mistaking his 

 language, and he evidently men nt what he said. Such a criticism, 

 coming from the source it did, must necessarily have great 

 weight with yachtsmen, and the statement should be eareiully 

 and impartially weighed. In making such a criticism the well- 

 known designer puts his own boats to the test, and they are to be 

 judged alongside the Minerva. A 'racing machine,' as 'commonly 

 understood among yachtsmen, is simply a shell with no inside 

 filings, no living accommodations— in fact, a boat in -which every 

 comfort is given up for racing. In the Minerva one finds every 

 comfort for cruising. Sue has proved her seaworthiness in mak- 

 ing a trip across the ocean in fast time, encountering several 

 gales on the way. She has a good after stateroom and cabin, 

 wash-basin, water tanks under the cabin floor, and one of the 

 best forecastles in any of the forties. Her deck plan is all that 

 could be desired. She is easier handled, has lighter rig, and 

 would outlive the Verena, Cbiquita or Nymph in a hard time. 

 Take the Tomahawk, one of the costliest of Mr. Burgess's boats, 

 and compare her with the Minerva. She has practically no in- 

 side fiittiugs, no wash-basin or water closet, no ice chest and no 

 inside ceiling, in other words, she is simply a shell with big spars 

 and sails. Her spar and sail plan are too large for cruising pur- 

 poses, and under reefed sails she would not be as handy as the 

 Minerva. Under her working sails, and in a passage across the 

 water, the Minerva would make the best, weather. 



"The Scotch cutter has taught us a valuable lesson, and one 

 which comes at the right time. American designers have gone 

 to boats of great power, hard forms to drive, with great sail 

 plans. The races of the Minerva have shown 1 hat the brute 

 boat does not move the fastest. Where flukes did not control, 

 hut where the races were sailed under even conditions of wind 

 and handling, the Liris and Kathleen did not suffer when com- 

 pared with the Tomahawk, Maraquita or Saracen. One thing 

 must be admitted, and that is, the handling of our forties, with 

 the exception of the Pappoose, has not been first-class. The 

 regular skippers were not up. consequently aR t he speed was not 

 gotten out of our boats. Mr. William Gardiner, in a recent con- 

 versation, said: 'It I were to design another forty, I would not 

 design her with so much beam as the Liris. I could make a 

 faster hoat with less beam and sail.' This clearly indicates 

 that Mr. Gardiner believes that the Minerva type of boat, isthe 

 faster. Already there is talk of another forty comiug over, 

 built from the lines of William Fife. Jr. It is known that an 

 American yachtsman, who has been visiting abroad, has called 

 on Mr. Fife, and had quite a talk with him, and the designer of 

 tho Minerva gave assurances- that he could design and build a 

 boat to autsail the Minerva."— Boston Herald.

Mignou was badly beaten, and did not finish. The champion- 

 ship in fourth class was won by Myrtle, and in the fifth by 

 Mosca, in former races. In these classes Lassie and Edith each 

 received cash prizes. In sixth class this race gives championship 

 to Josephine, and Nonpareil takes second prize. The judges 

 were Vice-Corn. 1. S. Palmer and W. I. Palmer. 



MINER VA AT MARBLEHEAD.— The circumstances attending 

 the first day's racing for the Weld cup were as follows: the cup 

 was sailed for under the E. Y. C. rules, which require a finish 

 before sunset in order to make a race. The finish was made very 

 close to sunset, and before deciding whether a race had been 

 made the judges wrote to Harvard Observatory to learn the exact 

 time. The reply was that sunset at Marnlehead occurred at 6:28:- 

 56. As Minerva had finished at 6:30:37, or lm. 41s. later, the com- 

 mittee could do nothing but declare the race a failure. The rule 

 in itself is bad and illogical, and cannot be changed too soon. If 

 a time limit is necessary it should be made in some other way 

 than by sunset, as there is often safe sailing for hours after, and 

 no account is taken of the time of start.
