worthy, safe and. comfortable yacht than this same little Minocqua. 
Many yachtsmen will remember the northeaster that last'Labor 
Day spoiled the special race of the Indian Harbor Y. C. Out of 
over 20 entries onlyOyacnts in three classes sailed the course. 
The sea was running very high, but in Minocqua I was able to ac- 
company the yachts over the course and take the time of turning 
at each buoy and at the finish, this being the only yacht which 
did this. 
Another good feature is that she does not pound; even m this 
half a gale we were dry and comfortable— two of us. myself and 
my father. 1 would very much like to see Minocqua race with the 
34-*f t. class, if put in racing trim; but unfortunately she has not 
the requisite amount of standing room called for by the rules. 
Yet, by looking over plans and dimensions, you will see she is a 
very comfortable little cruiser. She is a little narrow, but this 
and her fine lines forward prevent pounding, and probably make 
her more speedy. She is made uncapsizeable by 1,810 pounds of 
lead in a shoal keel, through which is cut the centreboard slot. 
As there is enough wood in hull, etc., to float this weight, she is 
uusinkable. 
Beside the cabin, with two wide locker berths, there is a long 
forecastle and a toilet-room, the latter, as shown, to starboard, 
with W. C. On each side of the cockpil under the deck is a 'ong 
locker, opening into the cabin; and under the cockpit, wuich is 
water-tight, is a large drawer running on rollers and holding both 
water and ice in two compartments. The fore end of the cabin on 
starboard side is arranged with shelves aud lockers. The amount 
of space is shown by the sectional view. Another thing in her 
favor is, she can be built for less than §1,500, while one of the new 
34-ft class, could not or will not be likely to be built for less than 
Sj?.5O0. As to rig, Minocqua is perfectly balanced. I have tried 
her often without touching the tiller, and find she can be steered 
perfectly by sails alone. Altogether she is the finest single-hander 
I have e ver seen or sailed on, and why not a good type to encour-

The Huguenot Y. C. Races. 
The race committee of the Huguenot Y. O. have laid out a series 
of events which, to say the least, are novel, and ought to prove in- 
teresting. The first fixture will be in April, when all classes of 
boats in commission will be permitted to enter a cruisers' race. 
The start will be made from an anchor, and the contesting crews 
will have to make sail, cut anchor, and cross a line as soon as'they 
can. The rules will thoroughly test the seamanship of the differ- 
ent crews. In May a race will be held, and none but ladies will be 
permitted to take the helm on any contesting boat. The list of 
features is quite extensive and assures au interesting sailing event 
in each month. _ 
The Huguenots will have their annual regatta on August li , and 
steps are being taken to make this one of the most successful re- 
gattas of the season. 
The Huguenot courses are laid out from the easterly end of 
Huckleberry Island. There are three distinct courses; one is 
square and two are triangles. The small boats will sail a five-mile 
course, and the larger boats an eight-mile course. The regattas 
will all be held in the afternoon, and short courses have been 
adopted inorder to insure'early finishes. The racing will all be 
held under'Seawanhaka Rules. 
The Huguenots now have a good "house, but before spring will 
open their new edifice, which is now being laid out by the archi- 
tects. . . 
There, are now over sixty members in this young club. 
YACHT NEWS NOTES. 
The nrosperous growth of yachting in France, has called into ex- 
ist en i'c anew journal specially devoted to yachting, under the 
title of "lie Yachting," a weekly of good make-up and very at- 
tractive appearance, published at No. 5 Rue Scribe, Paris, the sub- 
scription being 25 francs, §5 per year for France and Algeria, and 
.10 francs for foreign countries. The paper is well illustrated, the 
first, two numbers containing supplemental plates very fineLy ex- 
ecuted, portraits of Rear Admiral Baron Lage, of the French 
Navy, President of the Union des Yachts Francais, and of Eugene 
A. Perignon, the Vice-President of the Union. The second num- 
ber contains the lines of a very successful 7-tonner, by the French 
rule, the Maia, designed and built by M. J. Guedon. The new ven- 
ture has our best wishes for its success.

The Corinthian Mosquito Fleet has been especially fortunate m 
securing a long lease of Harrison Island, in New Rochelle i Harbor, 
where it will in the future be permanently established. The New 
Rochelle Y. C. was also desirous of securing the same location, its 
lease of Echo Island expiring this year, and Mr. C, Oliver Iselin 
declining to renew it. The Mosquitoes, however, as alert as their 
name implies, were already on the spot, with a leuse signed, by tne 
time'that the other club had made up its mind that it. wanted the 
island. 
The new Huntington Y. C, now incorporated, has leased the 
Ketchum dock property, and will build a neat club-house, which

U. S. F. T. Club's Trials. 
Trials B,—(0on tinned from Page 99.) 
A remarkable interest was shown in the club's Trials B, as evi- 
denced by a good attendance of sportsmen, several of them new- 
comers. . „ . . 
P. T. Madison, the secretary-treasurer of the club, was on hand 
bright and early, looking after the business arrangements of the 
trials, and with him came J. E. Horn, of Bicknell, Ind. From In- 
dianapolis came Messrs. H. A. Comstock and S. H. Socwell. Penn- 
svlvania was represented by Messrs. P. J. Dean and Henry Klee, 
of New Castle. From Illinois were Messrs. Jno. Wood and C. M. 
Bowers, of Decatur, HI.; Dr. Grinstead, Cairo, Id. There was a 
good representation from the sectiou south of the Ohio River 
There were Mr. S. L. James, Angola. La.; Philip M. Essig, Natchez^ 
Miss.; Whyte Bedford, Memphis; AV . R. Hodiday, Prairie Station, 
Miss • A. M- Young. J. L. Adams, D. G. Rowland, St. Marc M. 
Mundy, J. N.'Seale, Superintendent of the M. & O. R R.: Mr. Har- 
ris, traveling passenger agent of the same road; Major J. W. Ren- 
froe, and other well-known sportsmen whose names I do'not re- 
call' 
Major Val Young and Capt. Bdly Young, gentlemen famous in 
the guild of fox-hunters throughout the land as eminent in the 
chase and owners of the Waverly pack, were in'attendance, and 
received a most cordial welcome. They gave a few most realistic 
descriptions of some great fox chases 
The judges were: Major J. M. Taylor and Messrs. J. M. Freeman 
and St. Marc M. Mundy. In xhe "All Age Pointer Stake. Mr. 
Mundy. on account of some published matter referring to pointer 
challenges, withdrew. In that stake, Mr. W. W. Titus judged 
The grounds are all that could be desired. Of all the field trial 
grounds so far used, they are much the best. There are in them 
miles of open fields with hardly a fence to obstruct the course. A 
continuous course could be taken with good ground from the start 
to the finish of each heat. There was abundance of room. In re- 
spect to the surface, it is mostly open. The percentage of woods is 
very smad. It is not rough, but is gently sloping ridges and shal- 
low* valleys. Sedge grass is everywhere between the relatively 
smad fields, under cultivation in cotton and corn, which are the 
common crops. 
There were a few patches of sorghum, the seeds of which are 
sought for food by the birds. Heavy rains had soaked the grounds 
so that, on the first two days, they were very heavy and hard to 
work upon. They steadily improved tdl Friday, when a, heavy 
rainfall fell from early morning tdl noonday. No work was at- 
tempted on that day. , 
In respect to the general circumstances which do so much to 
make a pleasant and successful trial, such as a cordial welcome 
and goodwill on the part of the residents, nothing more than was 
extended to the sportsmen at West Point could be asked for. The 
land-owners in particular were noticeably kind and obliging. A 
great deal of praise is due to Mr. Titus for his energy and atten- 
tion in looking after many local details of the trials. His influence 
greatly assisted . The horses were a superior lot. The hotels were 
comfortable, and exerted themselves to the best of their resources 
in making the stay of their guests pleasant. On the whole.'the 
club could not do better than to again select West Point for the 
location of its trials next year, as it did do. 
Some of the stakes did not fill so well as the club had reason to 
expect, but there is an ebb and flow in all matters. It may be 
better next time. As will be seen by the report of the club meet- 
ing, there is quite a distinct change in the personnel of the club, 
particularly in the Board of Governors, and it is to be hoped that 
the change* will be a benefit to the club, that they wid improve, on 
the good and successful work of the previous Boards, and that its 
scope will grow more national than it has ever grown heretofore. 
The trials were wed managed and skillfully conducted. The 
time limit, with its fallacy and its annoyance, bobbed up betimes. 
In suctrinstances as a dog is palpably inferior under the rules he 
must have thirty minutes to show the full measure of his worth- 
lessness. However, the competition was conducted on the true 
theory, that is. each brace was given fidl opportunity in the first 
series", so that the nudges thereby established ample data for mak- 
ing estimates of the relative merits of the dogs. There is some 
precision in making decisions from a competition so conducted. 
THE ALL AGE POINTER STAKE. 
This stake was for pointers which had never won first in an aU 
age stake, in any recognized field trial in America. The prizes are: 
$150 to first, S125 to second, §100 to third, $75 to fourth, and 850 to 
fourth. Total value of stake, §500. 
Mr. W W. Titus judged in place of St. Marc M. Mundy in this 
stake, the latter retiring voluntarily as an incident of the challenge 
literature which has so long regaled the public. 
The competition was quite high-class, and would rate well with 
the best setter work. It established that there is a decided and 
permanent improvement in the breed of pointers 
Delhi, the winner of first, showed an excellent quality of field 
work in all the details of seeking, finding and pointing Although 
closely pressed by two or three others, the uniform excellence of 
his work pulled him to the front. He is a, first-class worker. 
Jingo, winner of second, ran one most excellent heat, but his 
work was not uniformly good throughout the stake, though on the 
other hand there was none of it which could be called poor. He 
was quite successful at finding in his second heat. 
Tick Bov, third, was a close, competitor. His work was quite 
finished, taken as a whole, and there were but few faulty perform- 
ances in it ""He ranges with excellent judgment, is accurate in his 
poinfwork, and knows how to find.. He takes cover unflinchingly. 
Strideawayjran much under the best form he has'shown at previ- 
ous trials, and while he Mid some good work it was mixed with 
much that was fatdty. . , 
Tamarack, Jr., ra.u a creditable race and showed merit, but was 
not a dangerous competitor with those placed over him. 
The stake was, in merit, superior beyond question- 
The dogs were drawn to run as follows:

FIRST ROUND. 
Lady Margaret-Jingo.— They began at 10:52. Jingo began the bird 
work by nicely pointing a ' bevy at the edge"of sedge, and was 
backed. Both were steady to shot. Lady made two flushes. At 
the same time. Jingo pointed, "probably foot-scent. Both trifled 
with a rabbit trail. Lady flushed a bird, and missed several op- 
portunities to point the scattered birds. She also at times tagged 
after Jingo. Lady pointed a bird in a plum thicket, and at the 
same time, Jingo having been working in an opposite direction on 
scent, pointed a single bird. Ladvmade a good point on a bevy. 
Each got two points on the scattered birds. Lady made a flush 
before stopping to 'one of her points. Jingo had a good range; up 
at 10:47. 
Cid— Dogwood. — They were cast off at 10:55. Cid pointed nicely 
a bevy in weeds, and was steady to wing. Next, Dogwood made a 
good point on a bevy at the edge of woods, and was steady to shot. 
The handlers, being separated, were brought together. The birds 
were followed. On one Dogwood pointed well and Cid backed. 
Up at 11 :35. Dogwood had an upheaded, dashing style of going, 
and he beat out. his ground with excellent judgment. His point 
work was quite good. On the whole, he made a good showing. 
Cid also ranged well and showed very good finding and pointing 
abi lilies. Both were independent and industrious workers, though 
Cid showed a lack of finish in his performance. 
King of Lynn— Sam Bang.— They ran a light heat, from 11:38 to 
12:07. Sam pointed a bevy, and was steady to shot. King made 
three flushes in succession, two on singles and the other one on the 
bevy. Sam pointed a bevy in sedge and was backed; both were 
steady to shot. Sam, sent on. found and pointed another bevy. 
Up at 12:07. Sam ranged within narrow limits., and he pottered a 
hit at times. Whfle" he made a good showing in finding birds, he 
did not do so by covering much ground. King's performance was 
inferior. 
. Don— Tamarack, Jr.— They were cast off at 12:10. Don ran with 
little judgment in beating out his ground, and indulged in a great 
deal "of idle wriggling. Tamarack pointed a bird well. A bevy 
was marked down in woods. Don pointed one of the birds, but 
was not staunch. Some work was done on a bevy in woods which 
I could not see. Next, Don pointed, then roaded to a flush. He 
next made two flushes and one point. Tamarack was the better 
in every respect. Up at 1:12. The party went to lunch. 
Lulu K — Little Ned. — Off at 2:04 Lulu was in season. She 
pointed a bevy in sedge, and was steady to shot. On some scat- 
tered birds, Ned made a flush and Lulu made two points. Up at 
2:18. Their work was of an ordinary grade. They were running in 
company and heeding each other quite as much as they were their 
work. Ned ran much under his form of previous competitions. 
Lulu, being in season, was frivolous. 
St. Blaise — Delhi. — The heat began at 2:50. A bevy was soon 
found. Blaise caught scent of it. but withdrew, and Delhi, going 
up a moment afterward, pointed it. Delhi next made three points 
on scattered birds in woods. Up at 3:21. Delhi had the better 
work in every respect. 
Tick Boy — Strati eaway— .At 3:26 they were started. Strideaway, 
at a point of woods, made a slack point, then gave it up and moved 
on. He seemingly disliked to go into the cover. Tick, coming in 
shortly afterward, caught scent near the same place promptly, 
drew into the woods a few yards, and pointed the bevy well. It 
was a good piece of work. Next Strideaway pointed in open sedge. 
Nothing found. In the meantime, Tick made two points on single 
birds. Both pointed in sedge, then moved a few yards and Stride- 
away po ; nted the bevy. Tick backed well. Working on scattered 
birds, Strideaway dropped at the same moment a bird flushed 
close in front of him. Tick pointed: nothing found. Next, he 
flashed a single bird. Up at 4:28. Tick showed groat improve- 
ment in his form over that shown in his last trials. He worked 
prettily to the gun. He took hard cover without flinching, while 
Strideaway preferred the more open going. Strideaway covered 
the more ground, but he did not do it with so much judgment, and 
his point work was far from equal in precision to that of Tick. 
"Selah — SpotS. — They ran from 4:33 to 5:05. It was a poor heat. 
Selah pointed a bevy. Spot was a narrow and irregular ranger, 
pottered much 'and loafed not a little. Selah was irregular in 
range and handled hard. 
Verge ran a hye while the heat last mentioned was run, Mr. 
Titus taking charge of it. The work was fairly good, and Verge 
was retained in the second round. 
FRIDAY. 
Torrents of rain fell in the forenoon. The afternoon was clear 
and pleasant, but the grounds were so wet that it was considered 
inadvisable to start the competition on that day, therefore no work 
was attempted. 
SATURDAY. 
Saturday night, the temperature fell below the freezing point. 
Frozen ground and raw wind. The existing weather conditions 
were unpleasant for field work, but the pointers faced them 
bravely. The oucs which ran in the morning hours had much the 
harder work. Gradually the temperature rose, the ground was 
thawed, and then the conditions for work were fairly good. Birds 
were found in ample numbers. The start was made a short dis- 
tance from town. The work on birds was exceedingly difficult, as 
they ran from the points. ^ 
SECOND ROUND. 
Ten dogs were retained in the competition. 
Dogwood — Tamarack. Jr. — At 8:25, the start was made. Dog- 
wood soon pointed a bevy. Tamarack, coming in nearly across 
wind, ran into and flushed the bow. Sent on. Dogwood soon 
po ; nted again, but up wind of the. bevy. Tamarack, striking in 
behind, drew to an accurate point on it. The credit of the find 
was Dogwood's. Both were steady to shot. Dogwood flushed a 
bevy in open, and did not seem sorrv f or it. At the same time. 
Tamarack pointed a bevy in open sedge. Dogwood backed. Up 
at 8:50. Both "showed a middling range. Dogwood ran under the 
form shown in his first heat. Tamarack required and received a 
deal of cautioning when on point and when the birds were flushed 
to his points. ^ 
Delhi— Tick Boy. — They began a first-rate good race at 9:04. 
Roth pointed on a side hill in sedge. The birds were running and 
difficult to locate. A horseman, after the dogs moved on, flushed
