 Chispa for $250 per side, which was to have been sailed on Satur-

 regatta, Mr. Carroll challenging Com. Lawton. 



PLEON Y. C, Marblehead.— The first pennant regatta of the 

 Pleon Y. C. was sailed on June 18 with 14 starters in the three 

 classes, the wind being fresh from S.W. The winners were Min- 

 nie in the dory class, Unknown in the 16ft. class, and Mr. Crownin- 

 shield's new Wasp in the smaller class. 



HUBBE'S YACHT AGENCY. — We call attention to the adver- 

 tisemeut on another page of Hubbe's Yacht and Steamboat 

 Agency. Mr. Hubbe has had a long experience among yachts and 

 vessels of all kinds, and is prepared to furnish designs or to buy 

 and sell all classes of marine property. 



YAMA.— Mr. Ames's cutter left Wir.tringham's yard on June 27, 

 being towed to Thirty-fifth street, North River, where she was 

 placed in a tow of canal boats for Troy. She will be fitted out as 

 rapidly as possible on her arrival at Oswego. 



SEAWANHAKA C. Y. C— One of the handsomest of the club 

 books which come to us each year is that of the Seawanhaka C. 

 Y. C, and that of 1890 is no exception. It contains a list of 330 

 members and 140 yachts. 



CORINTHIAN Y. C. OF MARBLEHEAD— The new book of 

 this very successful young club shows a membership of 361 and a 

 fleet of 150 yachts, from Volunteer and Sea Fox down to the 

 smallest cats.

 her centerboard removed, the slot being filled with lead. The

EST* No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



F. Oakdale, Long Island.— The mouse you sent us is the jump- 

 ing or deer mouse, sometimes called the Canadian jerboa. Its 

 Latin name is Zapw hurlsonius. 



B., Brooklyn, N. Y.— Would fish of any size go over Niagara Falls 

 and live? Ans. We can only conjecture the result of such a fall. 

 The probability is that the air bladder would he ruptured and 

 death ensue. 



O. H. B., Manistee, Mich.— Please tell me if there is any way to 

 soften a meerschaum pipe so that it will color again after it has 

 been only partly colored (burnt). Ans. It is commonly supposed 

 that a meerschaum can be softened by bring boiled in wax, and 

 that then it will color again. Just how this is done is, we believe, 

 a trade secret. 



T. A. T., Rhinebeck, N. Y.— Please state where good black bass 

 fishing may be found in the upper part of the Delaware River? 

 Ans. One of the best places known to us is Egypt Mills, Pike Co., 

 Pa., where bass are plentiful, bait abundant and expenses small. 

 Port Jervis (N. Y., L. E. & W. R. R.) is another good point Be- 

 tween that place and the East Branch of the Delaware Pond's 

 Eddy, Lackawaxen, Cochecton and Callicoon are noted resorts 

 for black bass fishing. 



W. H. B., Norfolk, Va.— 1. Kindly let me know if there is such 

 an article as gunning boots or shoes of leather which are abso- 

 lutely water-proof. If so, where can they be obtained? What 

 kind of pants would you suargest to protect one from the briers. 

 Ans. 1. We know of no leather boots that are absolutely water- 

 proof unless constantly dressed with grease or some water-proof 

 mixture. 2. Wear canvas overalls outside your trousers. Nothing 

 will always resist the briers, but the canvas is the best thing we 

 know of. 



J. E. H., New York.— I have a Gordon that, some three months 

 since, dropped a nice litter, and at the end of seven weeks I sepa- 

 rated the mother from the pups. A few days ago I allowed her 

 to get in the pen containing three of them and they tried very 

 hard to get some milk but the fountain was dry. She then seem- 

 ingly with some effort threw up some partially digested food 

 which the puppies at once devoured. I concluded she was not 

 feeling well. The following morning she again repeated the 

 action, and it struck me at once that this was the way in which, 

 when necessary, they could feed their young. She is a fine 

 breeder, and in raising about forty pups I have yet to lose my first 

 one while with the mother. Ans. It is a very common occur- 

 rence for a bitch to feed her offspring in this manner. 



J. Sweetland tells us a funny story of how five Siwasb.es 

 got away with a bear at his camp just across the bay from 

 here. Mr. Bruin intruded himself in among the pots and 

 kettles, picking out a dainty meal. While so engaged he 

 attracted the attention of a Siwash, who at once called his 

 mates to his help. Ground is pretty rocky round the camp, 

 and plenty of loose stones ready to hand. They at once fell 

 on the bear, like the Jews of old did on Stephen, and stoned 

 him to death. He would at first endeavor to follow his as- 

 sailants, but being surrounded a stone in the rear would 

 turn him. So he fain gave himself up to the flesh-pots of 

 the tenas kluckmens.— Union City Tribune.
