There was considerable adverse comment on the con- 
ditions of the casting at the tournament of the Sports- 
men's Show. While there was every intention to so 
frame the conditions that the tournament should be suc- 
cessful, the work of doing this was put into hands which 
appear to have been inexperienced. The fly-casting limit 
—75 feet— was made far too short, for the purpose of 
barring out the professionals, but this short limit also 
barred out a considerable number of experts — not pro- 
fessionals—who should have had an opportunity to cast, 
both for their own pleasure and for the pleasure of the 
spectators. The very short limit really confined the com- 
petition to novices and young people, for whom there 
might have been a special class. 
The competition in one class — open to all competitors — 
was limited to 4^-ounce rods, which, of course, are 
lighter than those used by many anglers. 
It would seem, however, that the fly-casters themselves 
are in some measure to blame for the lack of success of 
this competition, since the conditions were announced 
some little time in advance of the opening of the show, and 
proper representation to those in charge of the matter 
might have resulted in making the conditions such that 
the fly-casting tournament would have been a credit to 
the show. 
It is understood arrangements have been made for 
next year which provide against the recurrence of such 
mistakes.

put in another, and so on, taking them out and keeping 
them warm as they get cooked. You may serve them 
up with a lemon cut in halves, or with any sauce you 
most fancy, ©o not make your cakes too thick. Serve 
quickly, as this fish requires it. This mince, without fry- 
ing, makes an excellent stuffing for any large fish you 
wish to bake or roast, either fresh-water or sea fish of 
any kind. — Fishing Gazette.

N. B. — Contest No. 4 will be held next Saturday and 
Sunday, March 22 and 23, instead of the scheduled dates, 
March 29 and 30. Postponed Saturday contest No. 2 will 
be held March 29. 
Minced and Fried Fish. 
To mince and fry fish, fillet and thoroughly extract all 
bones from your fish, and cut them across in two-inch 
lengths, wiping them clean, but never washing them. 
Throw them into a deep dish or basin. Then boil half a 
pint of strong vinegar with half a pint of water, pepper 
and salt, thyme, bay leaves, parsley, a sliced onion, with 
a couple of cloves; pour it, while boiling, over your 
pieces of fish. Turn them over at the end of a quarter 
of an hour, and at the end of another quarter take them 
out and mince them fine. Mince separately some mush- 
rooms (sold in tins) and sweet herbs (or use the dried 
herbs sold in bottles), and add this to the fish, Soak 
some crumbs of bread (about one-third to a half of the 
bulk of your fish) in milk and squeeze it half dry again; 
season it with pepper, salt, and nutmeg, and mix it up 
with the fish with the yolk of an egg or two. Make out 
of this mass some little flat cakes like biscuits, which 
you can egg and bread crumb or else dip in thinnish 
batter, and fry them in plenty of very hot fat or oil. If 
your grease is not hot enough your cakes will be flabby 
and greasy, but if it is they will be crisp, and of a golden 
color and excellent to eat. You should only put in one 
cake at a time, as it will reduce the temperature of your 
grease too much if . you put in more. In less than a 
minute it wiU have recovered its. heat,, and then you can.

Dog: Training* as Others See It. 
"What to do with our sons," even though so many of 
them have unfortunately found their fate in' South Africa, 
is still a cry in many quarters. With the increasing value 
of dogs in all connections, a parent might do much worse 
than bring his son -up to a knowledge of their points 
and attributes, and have him educated in their training 
and in their treatmerat. The demand for skilled breakers 
and trainers quite exceeds the supply as at present, and in 
America especially there are many openings for suitable 
men, who obtain a high rate of wage — salary if you like — 
and are treated more as the equals of their masters than 
is the case with the keeper or breaker in this country. To 
our personal knowledge during the past few years several 
well-educated young men of good family have gone to 
the States and done well enough to remain there as ken- 
nel managers. An instance could also be given of a 
well-paid commercial traveler, giving up his appointment 
here as such, to take a situation as kennel manager for 
a wealthy New York gentleman. His knowledge, too, 
was in the main limited to the care and treatment of 
terriers, still he did wdl in his new home, and flourished. 
To one skilled in sporting dogs the possibilities are 
great. Take this advertisement, for instance, which ap- 
peared only last week: "Wanted, in America, sober and 
reliable kennelman and trainer of pointers, setters, and 
retrievers; 25 to 40 years of age; must thoroughly under- 
stand breeding, rearing and breaking in of these dogs, 
and showing them on the bench in most up-to-date man- 
ner; gilt edge reference required and given; must be in- 
dustrious, and a gentleman. Apply, pic," This may be 
rather a tall order to supply, still there is no reason why 
such a "gentleman" should not be found, and although 
the salary is not named, we imagine it will be of an 
amount to astonish some of our employers of dog t ain- 
ers. Not long ago it was stated that one of our well- 
known dog exhibitors refused an offer equal to £600 per 
annum to look after and manage a kennel of dogs on the 
other side of the Atlantic. Special knowledge even as to 
the management of the common dog is a valuable asset, 
and is likely to continue so in the future. — London Field.

We know that the many friends of _ Alexander Mac- 
kenzie Hughes, will feel profoundly grieved on learning 
that he died on Sunday last. For many years prior to 
seven or eight years ago, he was an active bench show 
devotee, and was well known to the canine fancy. Since 
1895 he was superintendent of the Society for the Pre- 
vention of Cruelty to Animals' dog shelter in Brooklyn. 
He died at his home, 56 South Elliott place, Brooklyn, in 
his fifty-sixth year. 
Take inventory of the good things in this issue 
of Forest and Stream. Recall what a fund was 
given last week. Count on what is to come next 
week. Was there ever in all the world a more 
abundant weekly store of sportsmen's reading?

wanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
To be Known as the Seawanhafca I5-Fooltrs. 
The competition is open both to amateur and profes- 
sional designers. Three prizes will be awarded for the 
best designs of a yacht conforming to the following con- 
ditions : 
t A keel sloop to measure 15ft. racing length under 
the club's new rule. 
IT. Sails: Mainsail, jib and spinnaker. The area 
of the mainsail and jib shall not exceed 35° sq. ft., 80 per 
cent, of which shall be in the mainsail. 
III. Planking shall not be less than J^iii. in thickness. 
IV. Spars shall be solid, and the mast shall be of 
sufficient strength to be used without runners or pre- 
venter backstays. 
V. Cockpit shall be open, and bulkheads or air tanks 
are to be provided sufficient to insure the boats being 
non-sinkable. 
VI. The boats shall be capable of carrying full sail in 
ordinary summer breezes on Long Island Sound. 
VII. Construction shall be strong and durable. • 
VIII. All competitors must furnish a drawing of the 
lines, which will also show the position of the lead keel, 
and a table of calculated weights, which will give dis- 
placement, weight of lead, weight of hull, weight of rig, 
center of buoyancy and center of lateral resistance, center 
of effort and center of gravity of the lead keel; also a 
sail plan, on which the diameters of spars and sizes of 
rigging shall be marked; also a deck plan and amidship 
section, which will show height of cockpit seats and floor, 
and height of coaming. The midship section must also 
show the construction, 
The following prizes will be awarded: First prize, 
$100 ; second prize, $50 ; third prize, $25. 
In the event of one of the prize designs being selected 
by the club and yachts being constructed therefrom, the 
winner, in lieu of the cash prize, may furnish the neces- 
sary additional plans and specifications and supervise the 
construction and receive $25 for each yacht built. In 
awarding the prizes, speed will be the first consideration, 
but appearance, construction, simplicity of rig and con- 
venient arrangement will also carry weight. 
Sail plan, y 2 'm. scale. All other plans, iin. scale. 
Tfie designs must be received at the office of Forest and 
Stream, 346 Broadway, New York city, not later than 
May 15, 1902, and should bear a nom-de^plume only. A 
sealed envelope containing the designer's nom-de-plume, 
together with his own name and address should accom- 
pany the designs. The right is reserved to publish any or 
all of the designs. Those desiring the return of their 
drawings should inclose the necessary postage. 
The designs Will be judged by a committee consisting 
of Messrs. John Hyslop, A. Cary Smith, J. Rogers Max- 
Avell, Jr., and Clinton H. Crane, and the result of the 
competition will be announced through these columns in 
the issue of May 24. 
The club's new rule referred to in Paragraph I. is as 
follows.: Yachts shall be rated for classification and time 
allowance by racing measurement, which shall be de- 
termined by adding to half the load waterline length, 
half the square root of sail area, and a quantity expressed 
as L, and by dividing the sum of these quantities by 1.1. 
% LWL + Y 2 VSA+L ^ RL 
1.1 
The quantity L is to be obtained in the following way : 
B is breadth of load waterline plane at % of its length 
from forward end. 
B' is breadth of load waterline plane at x /% of its length 
from after end. 
B" is. breadth (greatest) of LW plane. 
C is any excess of (B+B') over B". 
D is draft at MS+2-5 of any greater draft aft, and all of 
any greater draft forward. 
E is any excess of (B"+D) over 3 1-3 VMS submerged. 
C+E=L. 
Designing Competition* 
Third Prize Winner, 
The winner of the third prize in our designing compe- 
tition was Mr. Harold W. Patterson, of New York city, 
the plans submitted by him appearing in this issue. 
The plans are carefully drawn and the design shows a 
well-turned boat of easy lines and sections. She is quite 
roomy, both on deck and below. The rig is well propor- 
tioned, but is, if anything, a little large. 
The cockpit is watertight, and is 7ft. long and 6ft. 6in. 
wide. The boat steers with a wheel. Under a cabin 
house 13ft. long and gin. high at the side there is the 
required headroom of 5ft. 
Against the after bulkhead of the cabin are two lockers 
on each side for hanging clothes, etc. The transom on 
the port side is 6ft. 6in. long, and 2ft. gin. wide. For- 
ward on the port side is the toilet room, 3ft. square, with a 
patent closet and folding wash basin. A linen locker is 
located in this room. One corner of the skylight that is 
pyer the main cabin extends over the toilet roorn, gpvtn^
