CORINTHIAN MOSQUITO FLEET.— A special meeting of the 

 Corinthian Mosquito Fieet was held on May 11, at which the fol- 

 lowing important changes in the rules ,vere made. The classes 

 were changed to boat smaasuring 21ft. to2fift. l.w.]., 18ft. and under 

 21ft. l.w.l.. 15ft. and under 18ft. l.w.l., und<3T 15ft. l.w.l. Boats ex- 

 ceeding 25Ct. l.w.l. hut not exceeding 25ft.' corrected length shall

 new class which exceed 85ft. l.w.l. hut are u^ider 25ft. corrected

 Larohmont allowance tables was adopted, the measurement re-

 of the occasion. Com. Gerry presided. Lieut. Henn was present, 

 responding to the toast to the America's Cup.

A. P. E., the fast Cape cat, has been purchased by Mr. Simmons,

 Roosevelt. 



HULL Y. C— The new house of the Hull Y, C. was opened on 

 May 9. 



GENEST A, cutter, has been recently altered to a yawl. 



It is an old saying "that what everybody says must be true." 

 and on that principle the Miller specialties are second to none of 

 the day, for every horseman, stable keeper or hostler who has 

 used them pronounce in their favor. For many years Frank 

 Miller's harness dressing has been the favorite in our stables, be- 

 cause it is not only a preservative hut a beautifier of the leather. 

 This dressing gives the harness an excellent finish that does not 

 peel, crack, smat or harden the leather, and so assert ftll who 

 ave used \t,-~ACiv.
