INTERNATIONAL SKIFF RACING. 



Editor Forest and Stream 



In your edition of Nov. 7, in giving an account of the sailing race 

 atPrescott, Canada, between Yukwa and Evangeline, both Cana- 

 dian built skiffs, you say, "They are undoubtedly the fastest design 

 of boats for their size that are sailed on an y water." Tins we deny, 

 and claim that the Clayton design of St. Lawrence River skiff, as 

 built bv the St. Lawrence River Skiff, Canoe and Steam Launch 

 Co., familiarly known as the "Bain boat" is the fastest sailing boat 

 of its size built, and this is admitted by all aquatic sportsman, 

 and proved by actual contests, times without number. We are 

 the original builders of the present design and style of boat peculiar 

 to the St. Lawrence River, and have kept the lead in improve- 

 ments. Others have followed and imitated. Theseboatshad.no 

 notoriety until taken hold of by our Dr. Bain, when they were 

 known as the "Bain hoat" until he gave them the name of "St 

 Lawrence River Skiff." Skiff sailing was first introduced at Clay- 

 ton, and the. first folding centerboard with watertight trunk was 

 manufactured at Clayton and put into a Bain boat, owned and 

 used, by Dr. Bain for nearly two years before any others were used, 

 or w T ere on the market. There have been more skiff races, both 

 for honor and money, sailed at Clayton, than at all other places 

 put together, and These races have always been open to the world. 

 None from Brockville or Prescott has ever offered to enter one 

 of these contests, and Mr. Wallace of Montreal, the owner of 

 Yukwa, admits they could not compete successfully with us, when 

 he writes to Mr. Sauve, ordering another boat, and at the same 

 time expressing the wish that "she might be fast enough to enable 

 him to carry out his long cherished idea of crossing the line and 

 doing battle with the Yankees." (See Brockville Recorder, Nov. 

 28). At the A. C. A. meet at Stave Island last summer, Mr. Ford 

 Jones, winner of the A. 0. A. trophy, and also one of the Yukwa 

 crew, was telling the boys that he had, with his canoe, beaten all 

 the Brockville and Prescott skiffs, and though he could beat a 

 Clayton skiff, and would like to try it for $100 a side. Mr. Praser, 

 book-keeper to the St. L. R. S., C & S. L. Co., heard of the conversa- 

 tion and immediately offered to accommodate him,;and put up the 

 money right there, and arrange the details of the race to Mr. Ford 

 Jones's convenience. Mr. Gto. C. Forrest, another crack canoeist, 

 who was of Mr. Jones's opinion until a week or two previously, 

 when he had come in contact with the Clayton boats a few times, 

 advised him to keep his money in his pocket, so there was no race. 

 The Clayton boys are never backward in accepting challenges, 

 and when Mr. Wallace "crosses the line" with his new and tast 

 skiff, if he comes to Clayton, be will find our boys with their 

 "lamps trimmed and burning," and their sails ready to unfurl to 

 give trim a lively race. A. Bain, Manager, 



St. Lawrence River Skiff, Canoe and Steam Launch Co. 



"ILL-CONSIDERED RULES." 



"CLASSIFICATION BY CORRECTED LENGTH WOKKS BABXiT." 



"rVESIGNER BURG-ESS made a little haphazard drawing last 

 XJ week, which turned out to be an effective commentary on 

 the system of classification by the corrected length, proposed to 

 the New York Y. C. He took the Baboon's sail plau, placed the 

 mast a trifle further forward, and then erected a sail plan which 

 would measure the same as the Baboon's by the proposed rule. 

 He drew a mainboom of the same length as Baboon's, a gaff one 

 foot longer, a mast one foot longer, and a topmast two feet longer. 

 The new sail plan had a larger mainsail, a considerably larger 

 topsail, a slighty smaller foresail, and even a larger jib than 

 Baboon's. The proposed sail plan contained IQQft. of effective 

 sail more than the Baboon's, while measuring the same by the 

 proposed rule. 



''While this sail plan was not as good as the Baboon's for all- 

 round work, it is the one which will be used by our racing craft 

 if the rule proposed is adopted. By placing the mast further for- 

 ward a designer can add 100ft. of sail without extra tax, or can 

 add a foot to the length of his boat and still put on the same sail 

 as he had on the shorter boat with the mast further aft. 



"Mr. Burgess recently got a letter from a gentleman in Belle- 

 ville, Ont. This gentleman ordered a 80ft. centerboard yacht 

 before the recent change to a corrected length classification in 

 the Lake. Vacbt. Racing Association. After the change was made 

 he countermanded his order for a centreboard boat, as he knew 

 that such a craft could not win under the new rules. He then 

 thought that he would build a cutter, but found that she would 

 cost so much more than the centerboard boat that he gave it up. 



"He now writes that since the rule was passed there is a great 

 deal of objection to it in the Hamilton Yacht Club, and a move is 

 to be made, to go hack to the old rule. The members are finding 

 out that they have made their whole fleet obsolete. 



"A 30ft. centerboard boat, with the usual sail plan, would just 

 come into the 36ft, racing length class proposed for the L. Y. It". A. 

 Such a boat would stand no show at all against a 33ft. cutter," 

 with smaller sails racing at the same rating. The gentleman 

 referred to writes that he expects the rule to be changed back 

 when he will goon with the centreboard boat, which he wants." 



The Bosto n Globe, in its zeal to defeat the proposed change of 

 rule, lately printed the above article and heading, which have 

 been copied into oiher papers and have turned up in the Canadian 

 papers in the guise of special correspondence from Boston. The 

 statement in regard to Baboon's sail plan was made by Mr. Bur- 

 gess to the committee of the New York Y. C. when on a visit to 

 New York recently as a representative of the E astern Y. C. Mr 

 Burgess did not even show the sail plan, and the figures which he 

 gave were so obviously incorrect that they convinced none of tho 

 committee. The effect may be as he states, but men will not be con- 

 vinced by mere statements when it is so easy to show the actual 

 drawings and calculations, which has not yet been do ae. Even 

 if it is true that the new sail plan is inferior to the old one, which 

 is as yet very uncertain, the most that can be proved from it is 

 that the details of the method of measuring sail are as yet im- 

 perfect; and not, as the Globe would infer, that the principle of 

 classification by length and sail together is entirely a false one. 



The latter part of the Globe's story reads very prettily and con- 

 tains the following premises aud conclusions: A centerboard 

 yacht of 30ft. cannot race against a keel yacht 2ft. longer of the 

 same corrected length; the keel yacht costs so much more than a 

 centerboard that none will be built; consequently the new rule 

 kills racing. If Mr. Burgess now thinks that, the centerboard has 

 no chance with a slightly longer keel boat, he did not. think so 

 two years since, when he designed the centerboard Merle, 31ft 

 l.w.l., for Lake Ontario under the same classification by corrected' 

 length that has just been re-adopted there. Ue had "the option 

 then, as now, of taking length in place of sail, but did not do so 

 Merle has been a very successful boat for three soasons and' 

 though she might be outbuilt, now by a longer boat with less sail 

 there is nothing in her record, or in the racing elsewhere to 

 justify the assumption that she has no chance in racing against 

 a long, narrow keel yacht with small sails. Keel boats have always 

 been in great favor on Lake Ontario, but there has been, and still 

 will be a large number of centerboards. 



Tfie statement that the keel boat will cost more than the cen- 

 terboard is one that can easily be disproved; boats such as Nvmph 

 and Baboon cost practically the same, the keel craft being if any- 

 thing cheaper through the absence of the centerboard and trunk 

 and of a cabin house; in fact, the whole structure is less compli- 

 cated and costly than a centerboard boat, while the latter now 

 must have practically the same lead keel as the keel craft. The 

 keelhoat that would be built under the Lake Y r . R. A. rules for 

 the 35ft. class would be 32x9ft.X6ft. Gin., with l,444sq. ft. of sail 

 and this boat would cost no more, if as much, as the centerboard 

 30xllft. 6fn.X», with l,600sq. ft., that would race on even terms 

 with her. 



"We nave assumed thus far for the sake of argument that the 

 GfWoe'S statements were facts, but a careful i uvestigation leads to 

 the belief tnat they are all without foundation. The Belleville 

 Intelligencer prints the above story with the following editorial 

 note: -'ihe above item is erroneous m that no person in Belleville 

 has ordered or is likely to order a yacht from Mr. Burgess If is 



able and persevering exertions of Mr. Jarvis.' 



The following letter in the Toronto Empire settles the Hamilton 

 matter, and is corroborated by similar information from other 

 sources to the effect that the new rule is generally satisfactory to 

 lake yachtsmen: 

 Editor Empire: 



In your issue of the 4th inst. you publish information received 

 from a correspondent in Boston, who gives you a gist of an inter- 

 view he had with Edward Burgess, to the effect that the members 

 of the Hamilton Y. C. are objecting to the new classification rule, 

 and that a move is going to be made to go back to the old one. 1 

 beg to say that your correspondent has been wrongly informed as 

 to the feeling of the members of the club. Up to date I have not 

 heard a member say he was dissatisfied with the new rule; on the 

 contrary, those to whom I have spoken on the subject are all of 

 the opinion that it is a just and fair one, and that it was passed 

 lustmtime to stop the introduction on our lake of a class of 

 boats that would be very expensive and unwieldy, on account, of 



their extensive sail spread, etc. In reference to our members 

 finding out that our fleet has become obsolete, I think Mr. Bur- 

 gess's informant, is also wrong. The following is a list of yachts 

 that shows in what manner the H. Y. C. fleet will be classified 

 next year under the new rule, which classifies them as almost 

 every member of this club says, "in much fairer form than what 

 they were under the old rule:"

committee which proposed it great praise for suggesting a rule 

 that compels yachtsmen to build boats that cost less and carry a 

 sail spread within reason and common sense. 



J. H. Fearnsiue, Hon. Sec Hamilton Y. C. 

 Hamilton, Dec. 5, 1889. 



The Hamilton Evening Times of Dec. 5 reprints the Globe's story 

 with the foUowing comments: "Surely there is some mistaKe 

 here. No rule that has ever been adopted has been more univers- 

 ally acceptable to the members of the Hamilton Y. C. than the 

 classification hy corrected length. Instead of making the fleet 

 obsolete it has classified them in such a manner that far better 

 racing must ensue. The Belleville gentleman who keeps Mr. 

 Burgess posted about the H. ¥. C. must be anxious to furnish the 

 d.esignor with material for his fight against the new classification 

 in the East, but why should ha not stick to facts?" 



Perhaps we can enlighten the Globe as to the real facts in the 

 case. Some time since a Lake yachtsman, but not of Belleville, 

 wrote to Mr. Burgess on the strength of Merle's success for a de- 

 sign for the SOft. l.w.l class. Mr. Burgess recommended a center- 

 board yacht 30ft. l.w.l., and the owner decided to build for next 

 year. When the classification was changed Mr. Burgess advised 

 instead a keel boat of 33ft. l.w.l.. whereupon the owner counter- 

 manded the order because he preferred to go to Fife or Watson 

 for a craft of that kind. Apart from any other considerations a 

 32ft. keel yacht can he delivered from England on Lake Ontario, 

 for less money than a 30ft centerboard boat from Boston, while 

 she would be as much superior in finish and outfit as Minerva is 

 to most American forties. The owner in question is himself in 

 favor of the change, just made, and will probably have a new 

 yachl for the 35ft. class this winter . 



A SHORT TRIP ON THE PACIFIC. 



WHILE attending to my usual routine of business, the mail 

 brought me a note, the stamp on which— a tiny flag — sent a 

 ray of sunshine into my duty-burdened mind. Said the note: 

 "You are ordered to report on board the Aggie Friday morning, 

 for a trip to San Diego." 



The days passed slowly until I met our generous host, D. A. 

 MacFarland, the owner of the Aggie, and the rest of our jolly 

 company at the depot early on Friday morning. 



Arriving at San Pedro we saw the beautiful Aggie lying along- 

 side the wharf. Our traps were soon aboard and we left the har- 

 bor at 11:30 for Catalina Island, course south by east. 



As we got outside the harbor we were delighted by a view of the 

 seaside hills; back of them the fields of grain; then orchards, and 

 beyond aud over these the lofty Sierra Range, with old snow- 

 capped Mount. Baldy oyertopping all. A distinctive feature of 

 southern California in the dry season is the brown and yellow 

 color of its hills, which in the distance have a lovely appearance. 



When outside we threw lines over, and were soon fast pulling 

 in the bonita, a gamy fish averaging from 10 to 151bs. in weight. 



Getting beyond the fishing grouuds we had leisure to look over 

 the Aggie. She was in line shape as usual. Everything tirst class 

 above and below, and a new set of sails made her look more 

 beautiful than ever. You maybe sure we did not overlook the 

 well-stocked larder, which promised good things for the sailor's 

 appetite. 



An easy breeze brought us into harbor at Avalon, a pretty ham- 

 let on Catalina Island, in good season. The bottom is bold close 

 too, and we anchored within 200yds. of the shore in 20 fathoms of 

 water. Some of us took the tender, and rowing to a point were 

 soon catching smelt, sheepshead, perch, bass, and a peculiar- 

 shaped flat, brown eel. The fish called smelt here are not like 

 those with which we are familiar in the*East, of the salmon 

 family, but are evidently of the herring tribe. 



The little harbor of Avalon is a paradise for yachtsmen, water 

 wondertully clear and mild in temperature, while shoals of fish, 

 gulls, seals, etc., give life to the place. We were too early for the 

 jewfish, which are caught in good numbers here in season, some 

 weighing over SOOlhs. 



Saturday morning saw us on deck early enjoying the magnifi- 

 cent weather. Our brother yachtsmen of the East never kuow 

 how the wind will blow or whether the day will be fair of foul. 

 Here the days are always sure to be clear, and the breeze as suie 

 to blow from the same quarter as before, the southwest, and to 

 commence at. a certain time. 



After a fine breakfast of rock bass we again tried the fish with 

 good success. A native was seen coming from the hills with a 

 wild mountain sheep which he had shot, both goats and sheep 

 running wild on the island. 



After a row about the harbor, which is like an aquarium on a 

 grand scale, we left Catalina at 3 l J . M. Our course wan laid for 

 San Juan, distant thirty-three miles, east-northeast. Being near 

 the high hiUs of the island the wind was light, and droppsd away 

 at sundown to a zephyr. We dropped anchor off San Juan on the 

 following morning near Dana's Point, a place made known in 

 Dana's "Two Years Before the Mast." 



A Spanish barbecue was to be given at San Juan on this day, 

 and our host, the Commodore, and through him our company had 

 been invited to go ashore and enjoy it. 



I am reminded just here of an amusing incident which will not 

 be forgotten while I am capable of Smelling cheese. A good friend 

 once said to me, "I have heard that Lirnburger cheese is not con- 

 sidered to be in prime condition until its odor can be detected at 

 least one mile from the factory." His statement seemed a little 

 wild at. the time, but I now think the distance under-estimated. 

 While enjoying the sleep of innocence as the yacht was rolling 

 between Catalina aud San Juan, one of our company became 

 slowly and painfully conscious of a most overpowering and lone- 

 some sensation. What could be the matter'/ 1 Had any old Bah 

 been stowed near his berth V Pillows and bedding were hastily 

 examined and no cause found, And yet the thing was terrible 

 and constant in its assaf cetida-like odor. In despair he happened 

 to push up his mustache, when, heavens! his defeat was complete, 

 and he was struck by somethi ng worse than a squaU, and returned 

 in haste to the wash room. To explain, a sportive companion had 

 anointed said moustache with Lirnburger cheese. 



Breakfast over, part of our company remained onboard. The 

 rest were landed through the surf at the point where Dana once 

 scaled the hides down from the high cliffs and lowered tallow 

 down on a "riata." 



Our host for the barbecue, Don Marco Foster, a wealthy ranch- 

 man, met us and drove us to San Juan, some three miles distant. 

 On the way a runaway horse was seen coming toward us. A man 

 and wife had stopped at, a brook and unloosed the horse to driuk. 

 Our company being gallantly inclined, jnmned from the wagon 

 and formed in line across the road. One was lucky enough to 

 catch the animal, and feeling quite elated by his success, and 

 sure of Iris bold, he cried exultantly: "Now go, you devil, go!" 

 The beast, a powerfull spirited mare, had evidently heard the 

 word go before, for giviug a quick turn to her head, and taking 

 in the vain man at her halter at a glance, she gave a bound and 

 was off like a deer. Her woulk-be captor held on, but his feet 

 were more in the air than on land, and things grew more squally 

 fast. So all sheets were let go and the beast was off. The yachts- 

 man came to anchor suddenly, while his companions rolled on 

 the ground in laughter. 



Arriving at the barbecue, we were at once placed at tables 

 loaded with the best of eatables served in Spanish style. Near us 

 were holes, in which were hot fires each tended by a Spaniard, who 

 spitted the tender meat and delicious ribs of beeves and roasted 

 them in a style far superior to anything cooked in an oveu. 



Dinner over, Don Marco had us driven back, loaded with good 

 things for those on the yacht, the band playing "La Paloma." 



Leaving our anchorage at 3 P. M. we sailed for San Diego. Be- 

 fore breakfast the following morning and just outside of San 

 Diego Harbor we caught 22 bonita. We passed the light at 12 M. 

 and went, up the harbor with a fine breeze aft. J. A. Osgood. 



LOS ANGELES, Cal. 



In this city and surrounding country are a large number of 

 gentlemen who, in the seasons for field sports and angling, are 

 worthy disciples of Niuirod and Walton. Some of them have 

 Forest and Stream, that elegant caterer to the enjoyment 

 found in handing the rod and gun, but not all realize the pleasures 

 which its weekly visits afford to those who are its constant 

 readers. This publication has such a fascination about it that 

 when its broad pages — diversified in every department of its class 

 of literature, embracing much history and many sit etches of 

 life as it is found in the forest, the field, the seaside, and along 

 the streams — are opened, they are not closed till all are taken in. 

 —Staunton Spectator, Staunton, Va., Dec. U. 



The list of officers and directions for joining the A. C. A. and 

 W. C. A. will be found in the first issue of each month. 



A FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILE CRUISE. 

 With the new year we will begin the publication 

 of the log of a solitary cruise of 1,500 miles, 

 made in a 14— foot Adirondack boat, on the Erie 

 Canal, Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, and 

 other waters. The cruise began at Albany, fin- 

 ishing nearly two months later at Philadelphia, 

 and the narrative includes exciting and danger- 

 ous episodes. The chapters will run through sev- 

 eral issues. Cruisers should not miss this serial. 



THE RACES OF THE A. C. A. MEET. 



All EPORT has been received from the ?89 regatta committee, 

 which was forwarded to Com. Rogers too late for the meet- 

 ing of Nov. 23. As it contains merely a summary of the races and 

 prizes we do not publish it. The following complete record of all 

 races, similar to that published in former years, was compiled In
