Thk two hundredth regatta and Buzzard's Bay championship was 

 sailed at Monument Beach Aug. 5, The day opened with a pouring 

 rain and a very Ught northeasterly air. About as poor weather as 

 could be found, but by noon the wind went round the compass to N 

 W., and at starting time blew a strong whole-sail northwester, which 

 during race backed into N. E. and increased in force till all but the 

 first and second class boats and P. D. Q. were forced to tie down two 

 or three reefs 



First and second classes ran down to Scraggy Neck buoy, beat back 

 to Dry Ledge, ran back to Scragg}' Neck, beat back to Dry Ledge, had 

 a beam wind to Pines and a beat home, fourteen and one-half knots, 



Third class sailed same course, omitting the second run back to 

 Scraggy Neck, nine and one-half miles. 



Fourth class sailed a seven and one-half mile course with plenty of 

 beating, and fifth class a three ard three-quarter mUe course. 



In second class Mist led off close pressed by Gj'mnote and Anonyma; 

 Gymnote took the lead, but soon after hauling on the wind her mast 

 went at the deck. Agawam drew out of the race and towed her home, 



In third class Nobska sailed a most remarkable race. For the first 

 time she pointed well and kept up her remarkable speed; she led the 

 class ten minutes. 



Fourth class, as usual, was led by Fin, with Dawelle first of the 

 catboats, while in fifth class the little P. D. Q, designed by her owner, 

 did exceedingly well. 



In the race to Scraggy Neck and beat to Dry, about seven knots, 

 Nobska gained two minutes on the second boats, 20 per cent longer 

 than she is.

Navahoe. 



The news of Navahoe during the week has been of a very discour- 

 aging character, as she is not only sailing badly, but there are reports 

 of dissensions within the ship, one being to the effect that Capt. Barr 

 has left her to return home, his place being taken by Capt. Diaper for 

 the present, and further that Capt, Aubrey Crocker, the skipper of 

 Shadow and Puritan, will go out to saU her in the remaining matches. 

 Seven tons of lead have been added inside, increasing her rating. On 

 Aug. 10 slie sailed in the regatta of the Royal Victoria Y. 0. for the 

 town cup, the course being from off Ryde around the Warner, back 

 and around a markboat off Cowes, and home, two rounds, making 40 

 miles. The day was fair, with smooth water and a light west wind, in 

 which Navahoe was expected to show her best. 



She made a good start, Satanita being first, then NaTahoe, Britannia, 

 Calluna, Lais and Columbine. Britannia soon passed her and Satan- 

 ita, but Navahoe held second place through most of the first round, 

 the times being: 



Britannia 12 32 07 Calluna 13 28 50 



Navahoe 12 28 50 Lais 12 42 26 



Satanita 12 28 53 Columbine 12 46 23 



On the second round she lost considerably, the finish being timed: 



Britannia 2 21 26 Navahoe 2 36 38 



Satanita a 21 33 Lais 8 04 19 



Calluna 3 36 03 Columbine 3 08 57 



I After this race Navahoe went into dock and did not sail in the race 

 around the Isle of Wight on Friday in which Britannia won as fol- 

 lows; 



Britannia 3 21 11 Calluna 8 37 28 



Satanita 3 24 33 Lais 



Valkyrie has not sailed during the week, but has been fitted out, and 

 wUl saU for New York the last of this week, which, with a good pass- 

 age, should bring her over by the second week in September. 



During the week an interview with Mr. John B. Herreshofl has been 

 pubUshed in a number of papers, and the New York Herald, of Aug. 

 8, publishes an interwiew with Mr. Carroll by one of its foreign cor- 

 respondents. Mr. Herresholls statement is as follows: 



■The statement of the London Knies," he said, "chat Navahoe is un- 

 manageable, not able to carry her present outfit, and that her sails 

 must be clipped, sounds absurd in view of the fact that the yacht was 

 sailed across the Atlantic, 3,000 mUes of rough water, in sixteen days. 

 At no time during that trip across was she unmanageable. It is not 

 likely that she will prove so, or has proved so, in the sheltered waters 

 where the English yachtsmen sail their races. In the Royal Yacht 

 Squadron to-day, Navahoe finished last, it is true, but according to the 

 dispatches, she did so because her skipper made two tacks while the 

 other three boats made but one. The fault was certainly with the 

 sailing ability of the captain, and not with the racing qualities of the 

 boat. The owner, air. Carroll, is properly the captain of the craft, 

 according to the ethics of boat saUing. and is to be held responsible for 

 her action. Everybody knows that Mr. Carroll is not altogether an 

 expert yachting officer, and then his skipper, Capt. Bai-r, is a young 

 man, accustomed only to much smaller boats than Navahoe, and he is 

 competing with the oldest and most experienced j'achtsmen of Eng- 

 land. 



"As for yesterday's race for the Town Prize, the mishap which 

 befell Navahoe was to her mainsafi. The canvas was not strong enough 

 for the stiffness of the boat in the increasing breeze and the skipper 

 was not equal to the emergency when he allowed a squall to strike his 

 boat in such a way as to keel her over. So much for the English criti- 

 cism. 



"Now, as to Navahoe herself. She is not an ideal racing boat by any 

 means. Mr. Carroll called for a craft which he might use for cruising 

 purposes as well as racing, two objects which must of necessity con- 

 flict. He required that she should not draw more than ISJ^ft., and 

 much against the will of the Herreshoffs, she was built accordingly, 

 instead of with a draft of 16 or 17ft., the proper depth for a racer. 

 They dislike now, as designers and builders to be held responsible for 

 the whim of the owner ot Navahoe. Mr. Carroll was told when he re- 

 ceived the boat that he must not expect to have the old-time English 

 yacht to contend with, but new and faster ones which would require 

 the sacrifice of everything to speed. Before Navahoe went to England 

 Mr. Herreshoff told her owners that he would uot all her to leave this 

 side until she had been carried down three or four feet." 



The interview with Mr. Carroll, which was probably called out by 

 the above, is as follows: 



Jfr. Carroll said; "I think some of the newspaper reports regarding 



the Navahoe" are grotesque misrepresentations. I have in mind es- 

 pecially the London Times'' leader on Saturday, 



"The Navahoe was not unmanageable, nor did she get any serious 

 injury in the accident during Thursday's race, I discovered, however, 

 soon after the start, that the after cloth of the mainsail was splitting 

 across just under the first reef cringle. 



"As it was probable that the split would go right across the sail 

 from leech to luff, I considered it prudent to give up and sailed for 

 Southampton to have the sail repaired in time for the next day's race. 



"The mishap was discovered just as the Navahoe was hit hard off 

 shore by a squall, and she was thrown up in the wind while the dam- 

 age was being examined. 



"Then she got in ii-ons, which is not an unusual result of stopping a 

 vessel with her head to the wind when coming to; in fact, the Calluna 

 got in irons in Friday's race. 



"The report about the Navahoe nearly capsizing and narrowly es- 

 caping foundering, as published in the Times, was absurd." 



"Yes," said Mrs. Carroll, as her husband concluded, "and there was 

 not a word of truth in the report that the Navahoe gave up Thurs- 

 day's race because I was thrown across the cabin from one sofa to 

 another when the Navahoe was heeled over by the squall. I was on 

 deck the whole time and did not consider that anything unusual oc- 

 curred, except the splitting of the leech of the mainsail." 



London, Aug. 14.— The regatta of the Royal Albert Y. C, of South- 

 sea, took place to-day. The Albert cup was the prize for yachts above 

 40 rating. Navahoe, Britannia, Satanita and Calluna started. 



The course was from a markboat oft Southsea to and around Nab 

 Beacon, then to and around the West Middle Buoy and back to the 

 mark boat, sailed over twice. There was a good sailing breeze. 



Satanita was first away, followed by Isav.ahoe, Calluna and Britannia 

 in the order given. Tfiis order was maintained without material 

 change until the Nab Beacon was rounded. The yachts then set their 

 spinakers and Britannia soon took the lead, with Navahoe following 

 close behind. 



Britannia sailed the first round in 2h. 6m. Is., Navahoe in 2h. 11m. 

 17s., Satanita in 3h. 23m. 4s., and Calluna in 2h. 3am. 9s. 



In the middle of the second round Satanita took first place, but 

 Britannia soon caught up. Navahoe, which had lagged far behind, 

 gave up the race before reaching the West Middle Buoy. Calluna went 

 ashore near Osborne Bay. Toward the finish the wind was very light. 

 Britannia won in 6h. 41m. 34s. Satanita's time was 6h. 43m. 40s. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



There are a large number of nautical novelties which will certainly 

 arouse great interest among those who have a taste for sea life. The 

 exhibition is arranged on the schooner Daphne which is a yacht past 

 her sailing days, but she is a commodious craft, and her spacious deck 

 and roomy saloon afford facilities for displaying a collection of 

 curiosities very rarely brought together at one time. Paintings, 

 models, ships' tackle, photographs, inventions and numberless other 

 things worth seeing are displayed on the deck and below, and the 

 whole is covered in with a water-tight roof affording a capital light. 

 Among the coimtless exhibits is a model of the famous yacht Arrow, 

 kindly lent by the Royal Southampton Y. C, and a painting of the 

 same" yacht winning the cup of the Royal Clinque Ports Y. C. in 1,876, 

 and carrying away her spinnaker boom with Florinda and Cuckoo 

 astern. Very convenient arrangements are made for reaching the 

 Daphne from the shore, as a steam laimch runs to and fro from the 

 steps opposite the Gloster 'B.otel.— Field. 



The Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. hns arranged the following pro- 

 gramme for the remaining races of the season: Saturday, Aug. 19, 

 two cups, value S50 and $85, handicap, two classes. Class I., yachts 

 42ft. and not under 28ft. l.w.l. Class IL, yachts under 28ft. l.w.l. 

 Course: Starting from north to south of line between two marks south 

 of Moses Point, thence to Cold Spring Light, keeping it on xJort; thence 

 to Center Island Buoy, keeping it on starboard, thence to Lloyd's 

 Point Buoy, keeping it on starboard; thence to Cold Spring Light, 

 keeping it on starboard; thence to finish, crossing line from north to 

 south, keeping to north of black buoy at mouth of harbor going and 

 coming. Saturday. Aug. 26, Bullock cup, handicap, for yachts 33ft. 

 waterUne and under. Bell Buoy course. Saturday, Sept. 2, third Rouse 

 & Wetmore cup. time allowance, for yachts 32ft. waterline and under. 

 Bell Buoy course, postponed July 15. All these races will be started 

 as near 10:30 A. M. as practicable from one-gun start. 



"Sketches of Yachting Life" is the title of a clever little book by Mr. 

 Julius Gabe, who assuming the role of a landsman on a yachting 

 cruise narrates a number of amusing incidents and occurrences con- 

 nected with yachting. Mr. Gabe writes in a light, pleasing vein, with 

 no attempt to do more than amuse, and in this he is quite' successful. 

 The scene is laid aboard a cruising schooner yacht, whose owner has 

 a fondness for company which brings aboard a varied assortment of 

 odd characters. The book is veiy neatly made up and is published by 

 the Yachtsman, London. 



The new 60ft. double-engine naphtha yacht Truant, has just been 

 delivered to her owner, Jlr. H. L. Terrell, who will use her on the 

 Shrewsbury during the balance of the season, and send her to Florida 

 later on. She is a marvel of comfort and elegance, and completely 

 fitted for extended cruises. Her builders, the Gas Engine & Power 

 Co., claim she made over ten miles per hour on a long trip. Her 

 power is two 12 H.P, naphtha motors. 



Commodore Starbuck's steam yacht TUlie, American Y. C, is laid 

 up at the Gas Engine & Power Co.'s basin, Morris Heights. Mr. 

 Starbuck will use the steam yacht Shearwater for the balance of the 

 season. 



On the night of Aug. 4 the steam yacht Aida, W. P. Douglas, broke 

 her shaft off North Hill, Fisher's Island, and was to'ved into New 

 London by the steamer Munnatawket. 



Secretaries of canoe clubs are requested to send to Forest and 

 Stream then- addresses, with name, membership, signal, etc . of their 

 clubs, and also notices in advance of meetings and races, and report of 

 the same. Canoeists and all interested in canoeing are requested to 

 forward to Forest and Stream their addresses, with logs of cruises, 

 maps, and information concerning their local, waters, drawings or 

 descriptions of boats and fittings, and all items relattog to the sport.

TsB American Canoe Association is at a standstill. Some of the 

 divisions have increased their membership a little, others have sus- 

 tained a slight loss. The racing interest is not nearly as keen as it was 

 five years ago, nor are there as many racing men as there were then. 

 The same thing is true of the Western Canoe Association. 



Many of the men who made the A. C. A. what it is have retired from 

 the field, and others as public spirited have not taken their places. 

 The W. C. A. shows a Uke record. 



There never was any good reason for the existence of two such or- 

 ganizxitions— at any rate since the A. C. A. was separated into divi- 

 sions. Is it not therefore a good time to talk over the formation of an A. 

 C. A. Western Division? Would not such an outcome solve some of the 

 problems that the W. U. A. are now trying to work out? Are there 

 any good reasons why such a union should not be formed? The 

 A. C. A., as an association, has nothing to gain thereby except greater 

 usefulness, and the W. C. A. would lose nothing and gain much. It 

 would retain its cups, itsidentitj^ its history, and would come in for 

 its share of all the A. C A. has to give. It is a good time now to 

 think the matter over, and for some of the members to say what they 

 think. 



Associations may come and go, but canoeing cannot wither or fade 

 away. Racing may stop, the meets be discontinued, but you can^t kilj 

 the canoe. Therefore cherish it, and get all the fun and health you 

 can out of, or rather in it. 



The a. C. A. meet Is now being held, the fourteenth camp and 

 regatta, and the racing will begin next Monday. The rule in the Year 

 Book which defines what shall constitute a canoe eUgible to enter the 

 A. C. A. races is incorrectly printed, and was so printed in the 1893 

 Year Book. A literal reading of it as printed would rule out all, or 

 nearly all, of the canoeg that will enter, and consequently no attention 



will be paid to it. We earnestly urge upon those who will enter the 

 races to bring this error forcibly to the attention of the regatta com- 

 mittee, and so irnpress them with it that they will take the trouble to 

 have it corrected and the correction called attention to in their annual 

 report, to the end that the secretary to be elected for 1894 will have 

 the data before him for a correct rendering of the rule in the 1894 

 Year Book. The rule (No. 1) as printed in the 1891 Year Book is cor- 

 rect. There are several typographical errors in the rules, and it 

 should be a part of the regatta committee's business to see that they 

 are marked for correction and the corrected copy given to the present 

 secretary to turn over to his successor. Of what value are rules if 

 they are allowed to be incorrectly printed in the official book? The 

 A. C. A. meet of 1894 comes to the Atlantic Division. The commodore 

 and secretary will be elected from this division, and it rests largely 

 n-ith those members who attend the meet from this quarter whether 

 capable men are chosen. There has been little talk as yet in regard 

 to this important subject, and no candidates are in the field, so far as 

 we know. The last meet held in this division was at Jessup's Neck in 

 1890, and, In spite of Bave's poor food and some slight transportation 

 difficulties, it was one of the most popular, largely attended and gen - 

 erally successful meets ever held. It "set the pace" for the 1894 event 

 and it depends upon the oflacers elected whether a success or failure 

 will be scored. 



Glenwood— Electra. 



Editor Forest and Stream.: 



Some years ago you discussed. I believe, the propriety of giving 

 different canoes the same name; Nautilus for examjjle, and designat- 

 ing the succeeding boats by numbers; Nautilus No. 9 or 10, as the 

 case might be, and the conclusion reached was that it would be better 

 to give every canoe a name, different if possible from all others, and 

 let that canoe keep its name to the end of the chapter. The name of 

 a racing canoe identifies it, and confusion is avoided and endless ex- 

 planation when one name is given and retained. I see that yoti men- 

 tion editorially in your issue of Aug. 5, that the canoe Electra, which 

 sailed at the W. C. A. meet, is really the 1892 International cup winner 

 Glenwood. Your correspondent evidently did uot know this fact as 

 he credited a Detroit builder with the honor of producing this fast 

 boat, when every canoeman in the country knows that Capt. Ruggles 

 built the Glenwood. The new owner may have thought it a good joke 

 to palm off on his fellow club men as a new production of a Western 

 builder, a canoe having a world wide reputation and built by a New- 

 York man, but it seems to me to be a very questionable proceeding to 

 try to deceive the whole W. C. A. and the canoeing public as well. 

 This matter would not have attracted my attention had your cor- 

 respondent omitted his most flattering account of th» qualities of this 

 canoe, and suggested that she had probably made a record for not 

 only the W. C. A., but all associations. She has. C. Bowyer Vai-x. 



rin justice to Mr. Hough, we can state that he is responsible for 

 only a portion of last week's report. The statement was made in the 

 FoRBST AND Stream last spring, by a We.stern correspondent, that 

 Electra was a new canoe, just completed for a member o( the Mahn- 

 a-wauk C. C, and Mr. Hough like many others has probably been 

 misled by it.] 



Ked Dragon C. C. 



Philadelphia, Aug. 13.— The summer races of the Red Dragon C 

 G. were held on July 29 off the club house at MissuiomiDg. A feature 

 in the imlimited sailing was a chanp;e in the course from a mile and a 

 half triangular to a mile and a half straightaway and return. The 

 entries and order of finish were: 



Pirate, H. E. McCormick, sharpie , ,j 



Smuggler, A. S. Fenimore, sharpie 2 



Nacoochee, D. A. McCormick ! ,'8 



Kie Loe, F. W. Noyes ] iDiskbled 



Hername, M. D. WUt Withdrew 



Jack Pot, L. Titus Withdrew 



In the maneuvering race th»re were two entries, Smuggler, A. S. 

 Fenimore, and Pirate, D. A. McCormick, and they finished in the order 

 named. 



In the swimming race the entries numbered about eight. Mr. John 

 Van Dusen was the successful competitor. The absence of a number 

 of the canoeists to Chicago and the mid-summer cruises accounted 

 for the small entry list. 



On the 5th an unfinished race between the Pirate. H. E. McCormick, 

 Smuggler, A. S. Fenimore, and Kie Loe, F. W. Noyes, took place. 

 There was a whole sail breeze, the course being to Bridesburg, 

 miles, and return. The canoes finished, Kie Loe a good first. Smug- 

 gler second and Pirate third. F. O. G.

CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



The following report of a recent gathering of canoeists is from the 

 Trenton Oazette. It is not intended to be funny: "The Park Island 

 C. C. have bean entertaining prominent officers of the National Canoe 

 Association and representatives of the Philadelphia and New York 

 canoe clubs, at their club house on Park Island. On Saturday night 

 the island was illuminated and made brilliant by a liberal display of 

 fireworks. Among those present were C. V. Winnis, commander of 

 the American C. C. ; William Wackerhagen, of the Boston C. C. ; Phil. 

 Butler, Brooklyn C. C. ; Robert Wilken, M. Brokaw and Harry Ward, 

 Knickerbocker C. C. of New York; James K.Hand, Jerome Simpson 

 and John Moflett, ArHngton CC of New Jersey; J. C. Dorian, of New- 

 ark; Barron Fredericks, S. Farmer, H. Farmer and George Lockwood, 

 Bayonne C. C. ; a delegation from the Red Dragon C. C, of Philadel- 

 phia, and Harry Fenmore, of Albany. Commander E. C. Hill, of Al- 

 gonquin Club, of Trenton, gave the visitors a reception at his residence 

 on Saturday night, after which there was 'a smoke' at the Algonquin 

 club house and the party proceeded to the island." 



New Jersey Schuetzen. 



The ninth annual prize shoot and festival of the New Jersey 

 Schuetzen Gesellschaft of Hudson county, N. J., was held in Arm- 

 bruster's Park, Greenville, on Monday, Aug. 7. There was a large 

 gathering of shooters, both Germans and others, in fact, it was a reg- 

 ular family affair, and everybody seemed bent upon extracting his fiul 

 share of pleasure from the day's outing. Among the prominent rifle- 

 men we noticed M. Dorrler, L. P. Hansen, John Rebhan, A. Brown, 

 Wm. C. Collins, Jos. Dodds, C. H, Chavant, Aug. Meyns, David Miller 

 and Wm. Weber. 



On the prize target, open to the public, there were 14 prizes, from 

 £15 to $1, three shots per ticket. Scores: M, Dorrler 73, W. 0 Collins 

 70, Geo. Schlicht 70, L. P. Hansen 09, G. W. Plaisted 67, D. MUler 64, 

 Jas. Dodds 64, J. Rebhan 64, Aug. Mevns 62, Wm. Weber 62, Fred 

 Zeugner 61, C. H. Chavant 60, Laughagen 59, Peck 56. 



Medal target, open only to members of the association, three shots: 

 Wm. Weber 68, L. P. Hansen 67, Aug. Meyns 63, Peck 61, L. Haas 57, 

 M. Lutjen 56, H. Benechke 56, D. Neebe 55. 



San Francisco Rifle Shots. 



San 'Francisco, July 31.— Editor Forest and Stream: One of our 

 oldest local rifle-shooting organizations has appointed a committee to 

 consider the advisabflity of holding a somewhat comprehensive shoot- 

 ing festival in this city during the continuance of the California Mid- 

 winter Fair next winter and spring. This organization is a responsi- 

 ble one, and while I think the affair should be undertaken by conjoint 

 action of all our local rifle clubs, stUl if the aforesaid club undertakes 

 the enterprise it will be a success, as the club has a plethoric treasury 

 and contains many enthusiastic and experienced rifleroen. 



The second series of contests for the Siebe State champiou.ship 

 medals for the year 1893 was completed yesterday at the Shell Mound 

 Park. The entries were not so numerous as at the first contest nor 

 were the scores as high as was expected. Sevei-al competitors are 

 holding back for the October and December dates, as a competitor is
