In thp evening a clinnpr was giv n at the handsome elub house 

 of the Royal Canadian Y. C , on the island, with Com. B >swell in 

 the chair. Speeches were made and toasts drur.1t until a late hour. 

 The proposed regatta of the Queen City Y. C. was abandoned, and 

 on Saturday the fleet sailed lor Cobourg, where an extra regatta 

 had be.-n arranged for Monday. 



The course was fr<>ni a starting buoy moorel a quarter of a mile 

 south of the barhor, to a buoy five miles southeast by south, 

 thence to a l uoy about five miles west of the south bony in a bne 

 with Gull Island lighthouse, and ihence back to the starting buny. 

 The first class vachts sailed twice over the course. The second 

 class went .once arou-d, and thence to the southeast buoy and 

 back to the starting buoy. The third class -boats went once around 

 the course. 



A temporary classification was adopted to allow all the vachts 

 to enter, White Wings being classed with the larger boats and 

 Cyprus with lama. In the second class was a new comer. Gold- 

 spur, by a local builder, Donclaus. of Brighton, sailing her n>st 

 race. She beat Merle badlv and made a very good snowing. The 

 wind was moderate from S. E. The full times were:

CORINTHIAN MATCHES, AUG. 18, 19 AND 20" 



AGAIN the Corinthian Y. C. of Marblehead was successful in 

 its midsummn series for forty and thirtv footers, a repetition 

 of the racts originated last year. Three days iu succession of very 

 good racing served to place Minerva at the top of the forties and 

 Sal aim ahead of ths thirties. The pnz s were two a $300 up fcr 



was arranged some time since, all the forties an. thirties b- ine 

 invited to enter, but only the above boats started. The first race 

 was sailed on Aug. 18. the course being over a 4-knot triangle includ 



nig Marblehead Rock as the starting point, the Graves Whbtlinr- 

 Huov, and a sea mark 8 knots EJ^N from the Graves. The wind 

 was fresh from N. W. at the scan, the forties carrying club and 

 the thirties working topsails and all reached oil very fast The 

 hi art was a very elo<e one, he in* timed: 



Mariquita 11 00 17 Saladiu ]l 05 49 



Gossoon 11 00 38 Almira u 06 10 



Minerva 11 00 40 Hawk 11 06 20 



Ventura 11 00 44 Shark n 06 29 



Minerva held the otht-rs, Ventura dropping astern. Shark led 

 her class for a tune, but S-iladiu pissed her, while. Almira .dropped 

 astern of the fleet. The firs' mark was timed:

Ihe nest leg was also a reach, and *ti<'r iini ig Minerva and 

 Mariquita fell iivo * luffing match. Gossoon meanwhile running 

 by both, while Ventura was so far astern that she had nothing to 

 oo but to steer a straight course for the next, mark, leaving the 

 fighting to the others. The wind had now drawn so far to the 

 westward that sp'tiakers would draw, while it lightened rani Uv 

 giving every chance for flukes. Saladiu dmw an -ad of her class 

 While Gossoon and Ventura gained on the other two, who had lost 

 much rime by In fling. The second mark was timed;

Almira was not timed, as tne wind fell entirely before she reached 

 the'ma.rk. There was a deal of fluking on the hist leg, Mmerva 

 and trossoon standing to the south in the very light air, and finally 

 being caugnt when the breeze did come by Ventura and Mari- 

 quita. the latter pair getting an easterly bree/.u that tooK them

Ihe race was a pure fluke, as all her previous sailing has shown 

 that Ventura nas no business with Gossoon. Saladiu beat Min- 

 erva on elap-eo time. 



The second day brought a strong S. E. wind, with a sea aud a

The thirties were not tiimd. but the order was Shark,' Aim ra 

 Salad tn and Hawk, Mignon withdrawing. Almira was sailing 

 excellently and give Shark and Saladin all toey wanted to beat 

 her. Kj aching oft on the second leg, in a good sea and a strength- 

 ening breze, balloo-i iiotopsails wi re set ou the forties. Gossoon 

 gamed a. few seconds while Minerva and Mar.quita sailed verv 

 evenly, Ventura losing a couple of minutes. The times at the 

 Gravt s were: 



Gossoon 1 47 33 Mariquita 1 51 13 



Minerva . . . . ..1 48 4: Ventura 1 -4 48 



The order of the thirties wis only handed by Saladin passing Af- 

 ura near the Graves. Minerva was hurt by her big balloon jto- 

 topsatl, which lost her some time in jibing at the mark and finally 

 sprung her topmast so badly wnen ab ni- 6 miU.es from home that 

 the spar was saved with difficulty from a total wreck, and no iiu- 

 topsail could be carried after the balloon was EHken in. The finish 

 was very close, the corrected times show that Mmerva won bv 

 only two seconds. The full time were: 



!™ s U e £ 1led on tho following day, Wednesday. The wind was 

 N.N.W., so a course 10 knots S.S.tt. was determined on, but the 

 yachts were not notified of the exact direction until thev were 

 cross-ng the line, so that it was impossible to tell on wh'ch svle 

 spmakers should be carried. After some delay in setting spe- 

 akers when the course was known, they settled down to work 

 with clnb topsails set, booms to starb-ard and f-piuak- rs to pnrt. 



Mmerva got, well away, as did Salad n, but Ventura bad a bad 

 start, and -Shark was handicapped. Mmerva held her lead for a 

 time bat the wind lightened and shifted to north, sa that bal- 

 loon jibtopsatls were set instead of spinakers, when Ventura ran 

 ahead to leeward of Minerva, Saladin also dropping Shark, there 

 being too much sea for the wide boat. The wind continued to 

 lighten and draw ahead, until wheu half the leg was covered it 

 was right ahead, and toe boats were beating for t he outer mark 

 Mmerva began at once to beat Ventura and was soon in the lead, 

 showing a great gain at (he turn, while Saladin bad caught 

 Ventura on elapsed time. The turn was timed:

On board of Minerya was Mr. Will Fife. Jr., who arrived in 

 New York on .Sunday for a short visit to America. He also sailed 

 m the race of the following day, having with him Mr. G o. Adams 

 of Gossoon. After the races Mr. F'fe returned to New York 

 leaving on bundav night for Oswego to <ail a race or two in Yama. 

 Shark was very well sailed by Mr. Waterhouse, who as usual was 

 handicapped as compared with Saladin by a scratch crew nastily 

 got together. . J 



This race made a sail off necessary between Minerva and Ven- 

 tura in one class and Saladin and Shark in the other, which race

Lancewood, New York-Starting on Sept. 8,1 propose taking 

 a two weeks' pa idle down the Delaware in a portable canvas 

 boat, drawing with my luggage aboard about, flk'n. of water. Mv 

 intention is to commence at. Deposit and work down as far us 

 the Water Gap, fishing along the river in the good places If 

 either yourself or an:, of your readers can give me a few points as 

 to 1 he river, fishing places, and amount of water a - d current I may 

 expect to find on the route— a new one to rne-rhe inform -ition 

 will be gready appr-ciattd. Ans. The Delaware, from the New 

 York line to Trenton. N. J., 13 mainlv a series of Ions pools of 

 varying depths, sometimes scarcely sufficient toil at a skiff con- 

 taining two men, and iu many places exceeding 25 or 30fr. At 

 Laokawaxen. Pa., t here is a formidaole nam, but the riffl-s con- 

 necting this great series of pools usually present no difficult v in 

 going down stream, and fcney furnish the dobsons or helgramites 

 so freely used now in bass fishing on the upper Delaware, as welt 

 as lurking places for the fish. The maximum current in the riffles 

 Of the portion of the river known to us is about tnree miles per 

 hour. Ihe best fishing is usually to be found at or near the foot 

 of the pools and mtneedge between swfft water and the eddy 

 near the he ; d. Off rocky points, where ledges run off into the 

 river, the fishing is good; also ne°r sunken logs n deep water. A 

 beautiful stretcu of water for fly-fishing begins about IU miles 

 below Dtngman's Ferry and extends W 2 miles down the river.' 

 Mr. Eptmg took eighteen fine bass fr.mi tLispie-e of water last 

 year, and it promises equally well this season. You can find good 

 vfitT ftn I T ?Sl an^ybete, beginning at Deposit. Stockport, Lord- 

 ville, Hankms, CaHicoon,^ocher-Lon, a«d P >rt Jervis, in New York- 

 are all noted places. Laokawaxen, Soohola, Milford, Dtngman's 

 ?rTKi De vI a ^ are r Egypt Mills " alld Bushkill, in Pennsylvania, are 

 probably better known at present. Hotels and boardin^ hous. s 

 range trom $1 to S3 per day. The prevailing rate from Dm-man's 

 Ferry to Bushkill is from 87 to $W per week. Catfish, neliramitSs 

 lampreys and crickets are the u-ual live baits, and artificial flies' 

 iSSSSWSS s^ 8 *? 1 -., Catfish cost S3 50, helgramiSs £2 and 

 lampreys S1.50 per hundred, and all except the first, which Is now 

 the best, are readily obtained. "
