pace, first one and then the other leading, but Gypsy set the 

 pace during the greater part of the run and caught more 

 turns than Adam. When they were brought back to the 

 weed field both tongued and trailed, but failed to start, and 

 the judges ordered them up at 11:10. 



This finished the running in the first series and the judges 

 after a short consultation ordered down the first brace in 

 the second series. 



Second Series. 



Lady Novice— Gypsy Forest.— These merry little workers 

 were laid on in a weed field at 1:15. Worked away to thick 

 cover a rabbit was started by the spectators. The beagles 

 were called up and Lady caught the scent before Gypsy. 

 Away they went driving the rabbit in hot haste to a stone 

 wall,'whei-e be attempted to find refuge, but no sooner had 

 bunny popped into the wall than he jumped out again, and 

 once more the chase was on and finally the game was lost. 

 Lady had the best of the race, doing more than her share of 

 the leading and working the majority of the turns. It was 

 a very pretty race. The hounds were taken up at 11:46. 



Just as the run was over the lunch wagon came in sight 

 and was heartily welcomed by the hungry crowd of sports- 

 men. While we were eating a party of eleven men straggled 

 by, each armed with a gun, and in the rear of the procession 

 came a mongrel dachshund. We all wondered that there 

 was any game left in the county. 



Adam— Lou.— This couple was cast off at 13:45 at the place 

 where we had lunch. They were worked through a number 

 of open fields to a pasture overgrown with weeds and brush, 

 where a rabbit was jumped by the crowd. Lou led the chase 

 till the rabbit made a fling; then neither could carry the trail 

 further. Adam, as usual, tongued here and there, but noth- 

 ing came of it, and the brace was taken up at 1:35, 



The awards were po.sted by the judges in the evening. First 

 was given to Lady Novice, second to Gypsy Forest, third to 

 Lou, and reserve to Adam. 



Class C. 



For bassets and dachshunds, all ages, $10 to start. First 



?irize, 40^; second prize, 30^, and third prize, 20^ of entrance 

 ees. 



Glenrose Beagle Kennels' Rodeur (Mauprat— Lottie), a bye. 



There was but one entry in this class, Rodeur, and he was 

 handled by his owner, F. W. Chapman. A. D. Fiske offered 

 Lady Novice as a running mate, and theill-a.ssorted pair were 

 cast off at 1:28. A rabbit was seen in its form and started 

 within a few feet of the hounds. Neither of them saw it, and 

 when put on the hot track neither could follow. Both cir- 

 cled, Bodeur casting very wide; but all in vain. Finally the 

 rabbit was discovered by a spectator and the hounds drove 

 him into a wall some 20yds. from the start. This race occa- 

 sioned much merriment, and the judges were so pleased with 

 thegraceand beauty of the "Chapman lope" that they divided 

 first between Rodetir and his owner. 



It was now 2 o'clock, and as the entries in the champion 

 class had not yet been made, further work was postponed till 

 Friday morning. 



FRIDAY. 



The day was the coldest of the week, but the hunting con- 

 ditions Avere good and the running in the champion classes 

 was most interesting. 



The entries in the champion classes closed on Friday morn- 

 ing with six nominations. 



Champion Class— 13 to 1 Sin. 



For dogs or bitches, all ages, 15in. and over 13in., that have 

 been placed first in any open class at any field trial, .^10 to 

 start. First prize, 80$^ of entrance fees and title of field trial 

 champion. 



Middleton Kennels' bitch Snow (Stormy — Lucy) with For- 

 est Beagle Kennels' bitch June Rose (Frank Forest — Juno 



(jlenrose Beagle Kennels' bitch Gipsy (Kenneally's Lee- 

 Tone) a bye. 



First Series. 



June Rose— Snow.— These well-known ^vinners were cast 

 off at 8:20 in Plaisted's pasture, on Huguenot Hill. June 

 was in charge of her owner, H. V. Jamieson, and Snow was 

 handled by Mark Lewis. Both started well and showed 

 hunting sense in their work. In a thicket June trailed to a 

 start and led the race for some distance; checked at a stone 

 wall Snow caught a turn, but June again took the lead and 

 held it till the rabbit went to earth. Drawn away June 

 tongued, Snow harked to her, and they trailed together; \mt 

 before they found the rabbit it was started by a spectator. 

 Both hit the hot scent at the same moment, and away they 

 went at speed, June catching three tiirns while Snow 'had to 

 be content with one. They ran to a loss on the dry grass. 

 Soon after both trailed for some distance on what was prob- 

 ably the feeding trail of a fox. Meantime F. G. Stewart had 

 caught the rabbit which had been driven into the wall, and 

 by order of the judges it was set free on a rocky side hill. 

 The beagles were put on and June did a beautiful piece of 

 work trailing, slowly but surely, over the stones to the wall, 

 while Snow followed. Taken up at 9:50. 



Gypsy — a bye.— Gypsy drew the bye and handled by her 

 owner. F. W. Chapman, was put down at 9:57 to run with 

 Snow. Working in cover Snow gave tongue but failed to 

 start. Then Thomas Shallcross discovered a rabbit in its 

 form. The beagles were called up and Snow taking the lead 

 drove the rabbit quickly to its burrow in a stone wall. 

 Gypsy meantime circled and happened upon another rabbit 

 which she followed for some distance and lost in an open 

 field, this rabbit, however, seeking refuge in the wall close 

 by the place where Snow ha4 driven hers. Drawn away to 

 an alder swamp Gypsy made a start and ran the game to a 

 stone wall. Then in a weed field Mr. Shallcross once more 

 provided a rabbit, and in the run which followed Gypsy's 

 work was superior to Snow's. Up at 11:18. In these races 

 with June Rose and Gypsy A,, Snow did not work as well as 

 she had done at Nanuet, N. Y., and failed to do herself 

 justice. 



Second Series. 



June Rose— Gypsy A. — This brace was put down at 11:25 

 where the last couple had been ordered up. A rabbit was 

 start.ed by Judge Reed, and June got away on the trail be- 

 fore she could be caught, but no harm was done, for Gypsy 

 harked to her and they ran an even, pretty race till the game 

 was lost. Then June jumped a rabbit, but soon lost in the 

 multiplicity of trails with which the field was now covered. 

 Drawn away to new territory Gypsy started a half-grown 

 rabbit; June was on at once and did some fine trailing, catch- 

 ing the turns and leading her rival easily during the greater 

 pa^t of the run. The judges now consulted and finally 

 ordered the beagles on. Mr. Jamieson then borrowed a gun 

 from a spectator that he mi^ht work his beagle as in an 

 ordinary hunt, but on protest by Mr. Chapman the judges 

 directed him to return it to its owner. Soon after this epi- 

 sode Gypsy jumped a rabbit some distance from the judges 

 and ran nim alone, June being too far away to get on run- 

 ning terms with her mate before the game ran into an ac- 

 commodating wall. At 13:50 the judges announced that they 

 were unable to agree and asked that a third judge be selected 

 to aid them in reaching a decision. The owners failed to 

 agree upon a third party and it began to look as if the dead- 

 lock would not be broken. Just then F. G. Stewart joined 

 the party with a rabbit in his pocket and by request of the 

 judges he liberated it in the middle of a large field. Bunny 

 quickly crossed two open fields and disappeared in the woods. 

 The beagles were then worked to the track, June took it and 

 led across the fields to cover, doing all the work and showing 

 her wonderful trailing powers to the best advantage. At 1:08 

 the hounds were ordered up and one of the most eventful 



races in the history of beagle field trials came'.to an end. 

 First was won by June Rose and reserve by Gypsy A. 



Champion Class, 1 Sin. and Under. 



Bradford S. Turpin's dog Clyde (Frank Forest— Sue For- 

 est), with Bradford S. Turpin's bitch Belle Ross (Ross W.— 

 Cricket). 



Rockland Beagle Kennels' bitch Zillah (Racer, Jr.— Nellie). 

 Withdrawn. 



Zillah was necessarily withdrawn. All the others filled 

 and ran. 



Clyde— Belle Ross.— This brace was put down in cover 

 at 1:15, handled by owner. For an hour and a half the beagles 

 hunted withou t finding a sign of a rabbit. Then Belle gave 

 tongue; Clyde harked to her, quickly trailed to a start and 

 easily outstripped his kennel mate in the run to the wall. 

 Belle drove true and steadily, but was much too slow for 

 Clyde. Up at 2:40. Clyde won first and Belle Ross reserve. 



This run brought the trials to an end, as there were no 

 entries in the brace or pack stakes, and but one, Louie Fitz 

 Lee, in the endurance stake. The judges then awarded the 

 specials as noted below.

The record made at the Brunswick Fur Club field trials by 

 Logan, whose picture we print to-day, places him among the 

 notable hounds of the country. His winnings at North Ac- 

 ton, Mass., were first in trailing, speed, tonguing and style; 

 second in endurance and third in hunting. He has won the 

 highest honors in the foxhound world for '93, and his owners, 

 Messrs. A. B. F. Kinney and John M. White, Worcester, 

 Mass. , are to be congratulated in the possession of so fine a 

 hound to lead their well-known pack. 



New York Yacht Racing' Association. 



A MBKTiNG of the New York Y. R. A. was held at O'NeiU's, Sixth 

 avenue and Twenty-second street, on Nov. 10, Com. B. F. Sutton, the 

 president, being in the chair. When the meeting was called to order 

 delegates from the following fourteen clubs were found present: 

 Audubon, Bayonne, Brooklj'n, Columbia, Harlem. Hudson River, 

 Indian Harbor, Jersey City, New Jersey, Oceanic, Shrewsbury. Staten 

 Island Athletic, Tappan Zee and Yonkers Corinthian yacht clubs. 

 The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The 

 report of the treasurer as submitted showed a balance after all debts 

 were paid of $101. 



The resignation of the Bayswater Y. C, of Bayswater, h. I., was 

 read and accepted. It wonld seem that at a meeting of this associa- 

 tion held iust before its Labor Day regatta a resolution was intro- 

 duced and adopted concerning a proposed regatta that was to bo held 

 by the club on Labor Day. The resolution disapproved of such 

 regatta. The resignation was undoubtedly the result of such action. 



The Newark Bay Yacht Club of Bayonne, New Jersey, and the North 

 Shrewsburry Yacht Club of Red Bank, N. J., having disbanded, were 

 dropped from the association. 



The more important feature of the meeting was the report of the 

 Regatta Committee, which was read by its chairman, Mr. George E. 

 Qartland. A synopsis of the report follows : 



The Committee says that •' 141 entries had been received, 12 less than 

 last year ; " that it is to be regretted that the tide did not serve the 

 contestants on their return, that while last year everything was in its 

 favor there being a good southerly breeze and the tide serving, this 

 year although the start was with the tide it did not run long enough 

 to be of much service to the large yachts that were compelled to sail 

 the longer courses. With a breeze the race could have been finished 

 by sunset, but the Committee were compelled to remain until after 

 12 P. M. 



The report also calls attention to the two recent storms just pre- 

 vious to the regatta, asci-ibing to them the keeping away through 

 partial or total loss of at least .35 starters, considering which fact, the 

 actual number of starters, 75, was a very good showing. 



It goes on to say that the preparatory signal was given at 11:40 

 A. M. and Classes A to H, 1 to 5 and 6 to 10 were started at intervals of 10 

 minutes thereafter, the handicap signal being given at 12:20 P. M. The 

 wind at the start was west by north, weather clear, tide last of ebb. 

 The wind gave every promise of increasing, there being a good breeze 

 in the LTpper Bay that completely died out by sunset. It also calls at- 

 tention to the feet that many of the contestants turned the Bell Buoy 

 just below Swinburne Island instead of the Swash Channel red bell 

 buoy, and says that no excuse can he made for this mistake, as the 

 circulars contamed full, clear and complete description and diagram 

 of the course. 



It speaks of three protests having been received, the first by Mr. 

 Louis Wunder, of Vixen, against Lurline, Mr B Barnett claiming the 

 Lurliue did not go the full course. 



The second was by Lizzie F., of the Hudson River Club, againsi 

 Maud M., Harlem Club, in which same claim as first protest was made. 



The third was by John A. Cameron against Clara S., both of Hudson 

 Biver Club, making same claim as two former protests. 



The committee sustained all three protests, and awarded the race 

 and prizes to Vixen, Lizzie F. and John A. Cameron respectively. The 

 committee disqualified the cabin cat Willie K. and op^n cat Little Dean 

 for fouling the stakeboat at the flDish, but says chat the result was not 

 affected by their disqualification. The following were named as prize 

 winners: 



Class A— Com. B. F. Sutton's Loyal over Com. A. J. Prime's Florida 

 by 3h. 7m. 4iioS. 



Class E -Mr. J. G. Meehan's Fair Wind, Brooklyn Y. C. over May B. 



by;3;to 13',oS- 



Class F—Kx-Coni. J. T. Lalor's Peerless, Harlem Y. C, over Henry 

 Ward Beecher by 3m. 12s 



Class 6— Mr. C. Wunder's Vixen over Star by ah. 6m 45»,oS. 



Class 1— Mr. M. Flynn's Lizzie F., H. K. Y. C, only boat sailing

Class 2— Mr J. JlcCarthy's John A. Cameron, H. R. Y. C, only boat 

 sailing- proper course. 



Class 4— Ml- ^V. E Elsworth's Mary. Bayonne Y. C, only boat fin- 

 ishing in this cIa^s, 



Class 5— Vice-Com F. M, Randall's Hit or Miss, Pavonia Y. C, wins 

 from Surprise by aim. STs. 



Class 7— Noraiati. Jlr. George Hansen, H Y C, wins, her competi- 

 tor, Edna, Messrs. Dickson & Kelloek, Y. C Y, C, not crossing fin- 

 ishing line. 



Class S— J. M. Sawyer, Jr.'s, Arrow, Shrewsfeury Y. C, wins from 

 Pa.ullne B. by 13m. IS^ioS. 



Class 9— S. W. Roof, Jr.'s, Gertrude A. wins from Harry C Miner 

 by 18m. 7'ioS. 



Class 10— F. Fabian's Chip, Bayonne Y. C, over Crest by 4m. 45', oS. 



Of the eighteen classes, there were entries in all and starters in all 

 but class B. No boats in classes C or 6 finished, and in c'asses D the 

 Avalon, H the Bessie and 1 Mosquito, sailed over, and under the rules 

 are not entitled to a prize, but the committee have awarded them the 

 pennant in their respective classes. 



The expenses of the committee were §187.42, the principal item be- 

 ing S111.G9 for printing. The total expenses of the regatta were 

 S544 48, receipts from all sources S416, leaving a deficit of 5128.48. This 

 deficit may be slightly reduced. The committee say further that 

 under the conditions this is an excellent showing when we take into 

 consideration the absorbing interest manifested in the trial and inter- 

 naiional races, the general depression of business, and the two severe 

 storms, all of which tended to distract attenciou and lessen interest, 

 and conclude by coograiulatiug the association on the successful ter- 

 mination of its fifth annual regatia. The report was signed by Mr. 

 Garllaud, Judge Charles E. Simms, Jr,, and Wm. Cagger. 



A motion was made to receive and adopt the report, which was 

 amended by adopting all but that part relating to class 7. The amend- 

 ment was carried. The committee were then, on motion, thanked by 

 the Association. 



Com. A. J. Prime, of the Y. C. Y. C , now rose to a question of priv- 

 ilege and made a statement concerning class 7 in which he claimed 



that the Edna had finished properly and that sufficient evidence, in hi* 

 opinion, was presented to the committee to support this statement^ 

 and that notwithstanding this alleged fact the committee had throwni 

 Edna out and awarded prize to another boat, and asked that it be re- 

 ferred to the executive committee by the regatta committee. The re- 

 gatta committee voted to so refer it'and asked that they be notified of 

 the meeting of the executive committee and be allowed to present 

 evidence in the matter, which request was granted. 



Three very important amendments were noticed for action, but 

 because of the absence of two-thirds of all the clubs, it requiring 16 

 and 14 only being present, action was deferred. A resolution was of- 

 ferred by ex-Com. Prime to the effect that when this meeting adjourns 

 it will be to meet on Friday, December 15, 1893, and that the secretary 

 instruct the clubs and delegates. The resolution was adopted. 



It may not be amiss to call attention to the proposed alteration to 

 the Constitution. Article VIII. relating to Assessments, add after the 

 words annual meeting "and any club failing to be represented at » 

 regular meeting of the Association shall be fined the sum of $1.00." 



Also add the following to the clause: "Any yacht club in the Asso' 

 elation giving a race or regatta open to one or more clubs in the Asso- 

 ciation, under any rules contrary to the Association, shall be fined 

 such a sum as the delegates of the Association shall determine." 



We question whether the adoption of the above would be a wise 

 move, as it is certainly an innovation, and tends to conflict -with th» 

 individual rights of the clubs to hold races under special conditions. 



American Model Y. C. 



PROSPECT PARK— BROOKLYN. 



Tuesday, Nov. 7. 



A PAIR breeze of wind favored the model yachtsmen in theirllast 

 races of the season, being from N. E., blowing about eleven miles an 

 hour according to Sergt. Dunn. 



It was evident by the late arrival of some of the yachtsmen that 

 they were detained by voting "late" and often, and great credit must 

 be given to Mr. Thos. Clapham in voting early and not often, thereby 

 arriving in good time to start his boat in her class, it being a long 

 journey from Glen Cove, L. I. His efforts were not without reward, 

 his yacht, a Clapham model through and through, winning in three 

 straight heats. 



Neola proved that she is at the top of the heap, and it will probably 

 be a long time before she will be dislodged from that eminence; it 

 would be worth the while of some of our yacht designers to take a 

 look at her. 



Ampere showed her speed under the skillful handling of her owner, 

 the little Mischief pushing her closely. Taken all in all a very pleasant 

 day was spent. 



Next year the club will have a salt water station where the capabili- 

 ties of the models will be fully tested, and streaky winds will be of the 

 past.

YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



Valkyrie is now lying alongside of Utowana in Tebo's basin, her 

 ballast and all her fittings having been removed. The bottom inside 

 has been cleaned and painted with red lead, and the yacht put in 

 excellent condition for the -vvinter. On the north side of Tebo's new 

 pier lies Colonia, her mast still on end. but slushed down and carefully 

 canvassed. A very large number of yachts, both sail and ste^im, are 

 lying in this popular winter berth, and the adjoining section of South 

 Brooklyn is becoming quite a yachting center. Mr. Bishop, the yacht 

 plumber, and Mr. James Gregory, the brass worker, have established 

 branch stores near Twenty-third street on Third avenue. The new 

 drydock at Tebo"s is now in position, replacing the old one, which has 

 been moved to the head of the slip. The ballasting of the new one is 

 completed and it will soon be ready for service. 



At Wintringham's yard the old building shed originally erected to 

 cover the Yama in building, and also the closed house built for the 

 Norwood, have both been torn down, and a much larger and perma- 

 nent building shed, completely inclosed and well lighted, has been 

 erected on the spot occupied by them. In this shed the cutter Gavi- 

 lan is hoiised for the winter. The first keel laid in the new shed will 

 be for a cutter of the semi-fin Wasp type, designed by Mr. Charles 

 Olmstead. She will be .35ft. l.w.l. and olift. over all. On the railway 

 is the schooner Iroquois, being scaled and repainted. The usual num- 

 ber of yachts are laid up in the basin. 



The Treasury Department has decided in the case of Mr. Geo. H. 

 Thornton, No. 79 White Building, Buffalo, that a sailing skiff 2lx4ft. 

 beam, to be used as a pleasure boat, is, if made in Canada and brought 

 to the United States, subject to duty according to component material 

 of chief value. Such classification is made by the collector of customs 

 at the port of entry, subject to the protest of the importer and ulti- 

 mate decision by the Board of General Appraisers at New York and 

 the courts.— Jlfarine Journal. 



Yankee Doodle, the fast launch buUt by McBride Bros., of Philadel- 

 phia has recently been launched after being on the dock for about 

 seven weeks for important alterations, including a new engine, her 

 wheel is of bronze, three bladed, 34in. diameter, and is expected to 

 make 600 revolutions. 



The wrecked steam yacht Feiseen, recently purchased by the repre- 

 sentatives of the Brazilian Government, has been rebuilt at Wood & 

 Sons yard. City Island, the work being hurried as much as 

 possible, 28 men being employed on her. She is now 7ft. longer, or 

 85fi. over all. She has been flttPd with a steel conning tower of J^in. 

 plates, in place of her pilot house, and on this conning tower a 

 machine-gun has been mounLed. On the deck forward of the tower 

 is a Howell-Hotchkiss torpedo gun, carrying an 18in. torpedo, and on 

 the deck aft is a one-pounder Hotchldss rapid fire gnn, on a cone 

 mount. Provision has been made for carrying two torpedoes in ad- 

 dition to the one carried in the gun. The steam yacht Nada, sister to 

 Feiseen and the Javelin hare also been purchased and will be similarly 

 equipped. In addition to these three a Yarrow torpedo boat is ex- 

 pected this week from England. 



Bouncers. 



RosLYN, L. L, Nov. 9. — Editor Forest and Stream: I notice that 

 several papers, in reporting the fall regajta of the Brooklyn Model Y 

 C. at Prospect Park on Nov. 7, give the name of the winner in Class 2, 

 as "Nameless." I entered and sailed this boat as the Skimmaug. 

 Why she is called Nameless in the reports I do not know. The Skim- 

 maug was built by me last winter from the lines of the Bouncer, which 

 distanced all competitors, and was the first of the ■ shovel-nosed" type 

 ever designed for racing and cruising purposes. The Bouncer was a 

 centerboard boat, and won all her races without shifting ballast. The 

 Rkimmaug was designed to test the Bouncer model with a weighted 

 fin-keel, and her performance of last Tue.sday proves it to be probably 

 better adapted to that questionable method ot acquiring power with- 

 out paying for it than any other form of boat. These boats sail over 

 the water, not through it. The Skimmaug is of the following dimen- 

 sions: Length over all 59in., length on waterline 44in., extreme beam 

 loin., draft of hull proper 2iD., depth of fin 9in She is uncapsizabl 

 and unsinkable. Thomas Clapham,
