Loo. 
Philadejlphia, Pa. — Editor Forest and Stream: My 
Irish setter bitch Loo died last week. She had other 
friends beside myself, even in the ranks of the English 
setter and pointer advocates, and they too will be inter- 
ested. I think she might justly be termed a good field 
Irish setter. When my fellow members of the Philadel- 
phia Kennel Club were kindly blackguarding me for 
keeping Irish setters she came to my rescue by winning 
the Members' Stake in 1895 against their Llewellyns and 
pointers. 
Prof. Osthaus will certainly remember how on that 
occasion she picked up point after point on birds in the 
woods. He was judge. Again, a year later, Mr. Frank 
H. Fleer was asked to run a dog in the Members' Stake 
of the Eastern Field Trials. He said his dogs were not 
in condition; then they said get a dog, and he said he 
would run Dr. Davis' Irish setter bitch Loo and they 
laughed him to .scorn; but next daj' she went out and 
won first prize. I was not there, but every one I talked 
with said she won it fairly. In 1895 she also won first 
at the Irish Setter Trials. Irish setters have been said 
to be hard to break, but I took her out absolutely un- 
broken and shot over her alone for a whole week. The 
first afternoon she pointed four coveys. Her only fault 
that needed correction was an occasional breaking shot 
and in a few days she stopped that. 
She was kept down in Newton, N, C, and after the 
trials were over the judges, Mr. Bradley and Mr. Merri- 
.nian, used to take a day's gunning over her and her 
^ sister Maud. Several other members of the Eastern 
Field Trials Club also gunned over her and will miss 
her as well as I myself. 
She was whelped on May 30, 1893, being seven years 
old. She had been ailing and died after whelping a litter 
to Dr. Lacock's Fred Elcho. She was by Finglas, out 
of Currer Bell IV., she by Tim out of Currer Bell III. 
Her mother divided third in the Irish Trials in 1892 and 
won first in the Irish Setter Trials of 1893. She too was 
good. When less than four months of age the man who 
raised her took her under his arm, carried her a mile 
and put her down where a covey used. She pointed and 
he killed three birds over her points and then put the 
birds in his pocket and the pup under his arm and walked 
home; and yet Irish setters are said to be lacking in 
natural field qualities. I trust the day is coming when 
some man with some brains and a little money will take 
the breed up for field purposes. I am sure just as good 
dogs are to be found in its ranks as in those of the more 
fashionable Llewellyn. It only needs brains and sand 
to bring them forth. G. G. Davis.

The following, from the European edition of the New 
York Herald, is probably quite as true as most of the 
exclusive information pubHshed on this side as to the 
intentions of Sir Thomas Lipton. The political outlook 
at the present time is by no means favorable to an imme- 
diate challenge for the Cup, and with the war not yet 
ended in Africa and the probability of serious trouble in 
China, it is quite possible that so shrewd a business man 
as Sir' Thomas Lipton will be in no serious haste to enter 
on such a costly enterprise, involving the building of one 
challenger and the rebuilding of another : 
London, July 19. — Sir Thomas Lipton, who is now 
cruising on the Clyde, says there is no foundation what- 
ever for the report that he has sent another challenge 
for the America Cup, or is having another yacht built. 
When Shamrock was beaten he expressed his un- 
willingness to accept one defeat as final, and promised to 
make another attempt soon to lift the Cup, but many 
things have happened since then, and his plans have un- 
dergone some alteration. 
His idea of sending another challenge is not abandoned, 
but there is nothing to gain and everything to lose by 
undue haste. 
It will probably be a:t least twelve months before any- 
thing is done in that direction. 
Next year Shamrock will be raced all through the sea- 
son, and the experience thus gained will be of great as- 
sistance when another challenger has to be designed and 
built. 
The fact that Mr. Iselin has sent orders to Hawkins' 
Yard to have both Columbia and Defender painted in- 
side and out has served to stir up a ripple of conjecture 
as to his intentions. There is no racing in which these 
boats could take part, either on this side or abroad, during 
the balance of the season, and it is quite plain that there 
is nothing more to the order than a desire to preserve 
the boats from corrosion. 
Quincy Y. C. Challenge Cup. 
Third Annua Match, 
QUINCY — BOSTON HARBOR. 
July 16, 19, 21. 
The third series of races for the Quincy Y. C. challenge 
cup for yachts of 21ft. l.w.L began on July 16 off Quincy. 
with four yachts entered — Hostess, the defender of last 
year, and the three challengers, Pompano, Lookout and 
Tashamoo. The four, already described, are Skows, ex- 
cellent examples of the machine type which is doing so 
much harm to yachting. Hostess was sailed by H. M. 
Faxon, who has her in much better shape in her second 
season by reason of careful working up and continued 
handling. Pompano, rebuilt from last season, was steered 
by John T. Cavanagh, owner of Erin and Beatrice, while 
the two new boats were steered by their owners. The 
course selected was No. 2, around the Seal Rocks buoy 
and return, nine miles, sailed tAvice. The wind at the 
start was S.W., but very light and variable in force. 
The start was made at i :45, all going off before the wind 
and crossing the line in a bunch. Pompano jibed and 
kept away from the others, which were in such close com- 
pany that Tashamoo protested Hostess for fouling. Pom- 
pano soon had a clear lead of the fleet. The wind was so 
light and variable that there was much handling of 
spinakers, but after a little time Hostess sent up a club 
topsail, which pulled her up on Pompano, while the breeze 
came in fresher. The two leaders went well off their course 
in a luffing match, but still they reached the turn ahead of 
the others, the times being : 
Hostess • ? 1^ 
Pompano 'i}lrf 
Lookout • f ii'I 
Tashamoo i 15 lb 
Hostess chose starboard tack and Pompano port. The 
latter was doing well, and there was a promise of a close 
race, when her masthead carried away and she was com- 
pelled to withdraw. The wind now came in fresh and 
Hostess turned in a single reef, a matter of but a few 
seconds, as she had a special reefing gear. The end of 
the round was timed: 
Hostess 2 47 25 
Lookout ; 2 5110 
Tashama <5 5fa 4o 
On the leg down Lookout acted badly, and it was dis 
covered that the canvas with which her bottom is covered 
outside the planking had been torn and was dragging a 
part of the bay in a big pocket, so she withdrew. Tasha- 
moo's hollow mast, in the fresh breeze, began to perform 
some peculiar antics, taking the shape of a corkscrew, so 
that she had to be nursed home very carefully for fear 
of serious damage to rigging and sails. The times were, 
'=45: 
Hotsess, Henry M. Faxon 3 50 14 2 05 14 
Tashamoo, J. S. Lawrence 4 07 14 2 22 14 
Lookout, A. H. Higginson Disabled. 
Pompano, W. E. C. Eustis Disabled. 
Hostess' reefing gear stood her in good stead, as she 
shook out a reef in beginning the second round and took 
it in again in a very short time for the final windward 
leg. As the fleet was in need of general repairs after 
two hours' sailing in a moderate breeze, the second race 
was postponed to Thursday. 
Second Race— Thursday, July ig. 
On Thursday morning Pompano came to the line with 
her mast spliced, while that of Tashamoo was strength- 
ened by trussing. The day was clear with a fluky and 
variable wind, from W. to N.W., at times very light and 
then of whole sail strength. Course No. 5 was selected, 
around the red spar buoy in Hingham Channel and the 
Quincy Y. C. barrel off the Government Wharf, Ped- 
dock's Island, two rounds. The start was made at 3 
P. M., down wind, Lookout being first over, with Pom- 
pano, Hostess and Tashamoo in order. Hostess carried 
her club topsail and a spinaker, but did not gain on the 
two leading boats. The Hingham Buoy was timed : 
3 22 02 Hostess 3 22 45 
..3 22 10 Tashamoo 3 25 45 
Lookout 
Pompano 
On the beat to second mark both Lookout and Hostess 
picked up the Hull Y. C. barrel in place of the Quincy 
Y. C. barrel, and sailed some distance to windward of the 
true mark. Pompano picked up the Q. Y. C. mark as the 
others were at the other mark, and thus turned first, 
the times being : 
Pomoano 3 54 4() Hostess 3 5.t .50 
Lookout 3 55 27 Tashamoo 4 03 30 
The last leg was quickly covered and the first round 
was finished : 
Pompano 4 06 05 Hostess 4 07.50 
Lookout 4 06 35 Tashamoo 
Pompano tried a spinaker, but it did not help her. The 
wind was now light and fluky. Lookout took thp lead, and 
at the Hingham mark Pompano was second. There was 
more wind on the windward leg, and Lookout met with a 
serious mishap, the jaws of her gaff slipping so that the
