SHIFTING BALLAST -PROFESSIONAL SAILORS. - San 

 Francisco, June 19 —Editor Forest and Stream: The rules of the 

 Corinthian Y. C, of this city, state that no boat shall shift her 

 ballast inside of 24 hours of the starting of a race. A protest has 

 been filed here that the sloop Cyretta shifted her ballast inside of 

 the 24 hours of the start of the race. What she shifted was her 

 cabin fixtures, such as blankets, stoves, pictures, cushions, etc. 

 The question arises, aie the fixtures that she put ashore ballast? 

 Another question which has caused quite a discussion in yachting 

 circles here is the deflnitlon of a professional man aboard a boat. 

 If you could decide the above questions you would confer a favor 

 on a number of "Frisco yaontsmen.— Y'achtsman. [The term 

 "ballast" as used by Eastern yacht clubs applies only to such arti- 

 cles as anchors, chains and the regular lead, iron or stone carried 

 in the bottom of the boat. It does not apply to furniture and fit- 

 tings, bedding, stove, etc., and these are very frequently set ashore 

 on the morning of a race unless special conditions for cruising 

 trim are imposed. The yacht has a right to be measured in sucE 

 trim as her owner desires, and after measurement she Is allowed 

 to decrease her length, but never to exceed it. The term "shift- 

 ing" applies most particularly to moving heavy weights to wind- 

 ward on each tack, and not to the addition or removal of weight 

 of any kind prior to starting. We know of no definitions of a 

 Corinthian or professional which are in any way complete, but 

 there can be no question that fishermen, boatmen and all who 

 sail boats for pay, lure or passenger fares must be classed as pro- 

 fessionals.] 



NEW Y^ORK Y. R. A. CRUISB.-The fleet of the New York Y. 

 R. A. met at tue appointed rendezvous, City Island, on July 4, • 

 where the flagship Edith, Admiral Prime, was at anchor. Oa 

 Monday the fleet sailed for Norwalk Islands, the yachtsmen at- 

 tending a hop in the evening at the Roton Point Hotel. On Tues- 

 day the run was made to New Haven and on Wednesday to Say- 

 brook. On Thursday the run to Shelter Island was made, the 

 fleet disbanding there. 



RICHARD POILLON.— On July 4 Mr. Richard PoiUon, of the 

 firm of C. & R. Puillon, died of heart failure at his residence in 

 Brooklyn, aged 74. The PoiUon family have carried on the busi- 

 ness of shipbuilding for a hundred years at the old yard, foot of 

 Bridge street, Brooklyn, the Irailding for the past thirty years 

 being mainly yachts, among which are Sappho, Fortuna, Mon- 

 tauk, Grayling, Coronet, Intrepid, Noma, Norseman.

Through Vestibuled and Tourist Sltibpers between 

 Chicago and Tacoma, Wash., and Pohtland, Oris,— The Wis- 

 consin Central and Northern Pacific Lines run through Pullman 

 Vestibuled and Tourist Sleepers between Chicago and Tacoma, 

 Wash., and Portland. Oregon. The train known as the "Pacific 

 Express" leaves the Grand Central Passenger stal ion, at the cor- 

 ner of Fifth avenue and Han-ison street, at 10:45 P.M. daily. For 

 tickets, berths in Pullman or Colonist Sleepers, etc., apply to Geo. 

 K. Thompson, City Passenger and Ticket Agent, 205 Clark street,

The fame which Gaptaia Bogardus has won with the gnu 

 is such that anything which he naay write on the subject of 

 shooting is sure to be interesting to those fond of that 

 .species of sport. It is, therefore, little wonder that this 

 volume on "Field, Cover aad Trap-Shoofciag" should have 

 reached its third edition. In the book Captain Bogardus 

 avoids technical terms and relates, in a free and pleasing 

 style, facts gained by him during his shooting tripsin nearly 

 every State of the Union. Besides this, he gives such plain 

 instructions in loading shells in hunting game of ail kinds 

 that any one can understand them. Included in the volume, 

 also, are valuable hints as to the best method of training 

 dogs for the hunting field, interspersed with many pleasant 

 anecdotes anent the'ir surprising instinct. The book is illus- 

 trated by several portraits.— P/i-ilacZeljj/iia Public Ledger.
