BOB 



SHAMROCK.— Mr. J. R. Maxwell's sloop is now hauled out on 

 Wintringham's ways, where sbe will be materially altered, the 

 greater part of the planking will he stripped off and the frames 

 will he hipped from the turn of the bilge up, while at the same 

 time the waterline will be lengthened 2ft., and the forward deck 

 3ft. The beam at waterline will be increased about 8in., and the 

 forebody, from the chainplates to the stern, will be filled out 

 considerably, the entire forward waterline being made straighter. 

 The hipping will be carried aft, each frame in the counter show- 

 ing a slight increase. The displacement will be about 5 tons 

 greater. The sail plau will be practically unchanged. Mr. Win- 

 tringham made all the drawings for the alterations. He has now 

 planked and decked two new compromise boats of his design, one 

 being 44ft. over all, 35ft. l.w.l., 13ft. 9in. beam, and 5ft. Sin. draft, 

 with 5 tons of lead on keel and 2 tons inside. The other is 31ft. 

 over all, 24ft. 8in. l.w.l., 9ft. lO^in. beam, 4ft. draft, with 3 tons of 

 ballast, all of which may be put in the keel. Both boats are of 

 the fashionable type, with clipper stems and very nice looking 

 counters. They will have centerboards and trunk cabins. Kath- 

 leen, now hauled out on Wintringham's ways, is having her after 

 cabin remodelled, a watercloset being added. A scag has been 

 lately added to the heel of keel to improve the steering. 



INTREPID.— The schooner Intrepid, now lying at Tebo's wharf, 

 has lately be^n altered on deck af l, the officers' quarters and part 

 of the after cabins, below a flush deck, having been removed, and 

 a deck house, from bulwark to bulwark, the top level with the 

 rail, has been built in their place. This house, which is entered 

 from the after deck, near the wheel, makes a very light and com- 

 fortable saloon.

 answer your purpose.

H. W. S.. Toms River, N. J.— You can reach Georgian Bay bv 

 rail from Toronto, Can. The latter point may he reached by rail 

 from New York or by cruising over the route now being described 

 in "M.'s" cruise. The best plan would be to buy a cheap canoe in 

 Canada. 



A. G. B., Holland, Mich.— Brass shells do not injure a gun, but 

 if the shell is so thin that the shot strikes the shoulder of the 

 chamber, you should have the chamber shoulder reduced by bor- 

 ing out the barrel, so that the shells will fit snug. The objection 

 to brass shells is the difficulty in keeping the charge properly 

 wadded. 



W. W. B., Boston.— The following case actually occurred; please 

 decide: 1. Four men shooting one pair each, two moneys. Three 

 men break 1 each, one man breaks none, who wins second money? 

 2. Also six men shoot same terms, four break 1 each, two break 

 none; three moneys. Who wins second and third ? Ans. 1. Ties 

 of 1 divide first and the fourth man takes second. 2. Ties of 1 



divide first, ties of 0 shoot off for second and third, If in each 

 case it is class shooting. 



A New Subscriber, Providence, R. I.— Among tbe many good 

 points for black bass in Florida are Homosassa, on Homosassa 

 River, where a record of Hi bass, weighing i 81bs., in VA hours' 

 fishing, is published. The largest of these weighed 7Mlbs. En- 

 terprise, on Lake Monroe, is another famous resort. In a little 

 over three months at tbat place a New York gentleman eaught 

 7,2871bs. of black bass, the daily average being 86J^lbs. In 1886 

 Mr. Benson took nearly three tons during the wlater in this lake, 

 the largest of them 13>4lbs. The upper St. Johns, the tributaries 

 of Indian River, the Kissimmee, and the streams ani lagoons of 

 the southwest coast are all full of black bass, locally known as 

 trout or black trout.
