Third prize, $20.00. 
Contributions are invited under the following condi- 
tions : 
1. The cruise must be made in waters of the United 
States or Canada in the season of 1902. 
2. The cruise must be made in a sailing yacht, power 
to be used only as an auxiliary, if at all. 
3. The story must be prefaced by a description of the 
boat. Cruises should be treated in as interesting and 
readable a way as possible, but should be practical and 
contain all possible information and data that would be of 
value to men going over the same route. A description 
of the handling of the ship in all weathers will be re- 
garded very favorably in making awards, and it is sug- 
gested to writers that an accurate account be kept of all 
incidents happening while under way. 
4. An outline chart suitable for reproduction, showing 
the Course taken, must accompany each article. When 
possible, articles should be accompanied by amateur photo- 
graphs taken on the cruise, including one of the boat. 
Good photographs will be considered in making the 
awards. 
5. The story should contain about seven thousand 
words, written on one side of the paper only, and must 
be received at the office of the Forest and Stream Pub- 
lishing Company, 346 Broadway, New York city, on or 
before Nov. 15, 1902. 
Mr. T. C. Zerega has very kindly consented to act as 
judge and to make the awards.

New Home of the Manhasset Bay Y* C. 
Saturday, June 7, was the day set by the Building Com- 
mittee of the Manhasset Bay Y. C. on which to turn their 
handsome new club house over to the members. The 
building, which has been described in full in these col- 
umns before, is even more satisfactory than was at first 
anticipated, and although the new house was erected in a 
very short time, still the work on the building has been 
most thoroughly done. 
That the result is so satisfactory is due in large meas- 
ure to the untiring energy of Mr. Edward M. McLellau, 
the secretary of the club, and Mr. Harry S. Fairchild, 
chairman of the House Committee. Both these gentle- 
men gave as much of their time and attention to the erec- 
tion of the splendid club house as if it had been their 
own personal enterprise, and because of their unselfish in- 
terest in the matter the club has the best house on Long 
Island Sound. 
At 2 o'clock the captains met aboard the flagship, Com. 
Roach's Emeline. and shortly before 4 o'clock all came 
ashore to be on hand for the flag-raising. Com. Roach 
said a few words to the members, congratulating them 
on their new home. Ex-Com. Clay M. Greene raised the 
club flag and the large fleet in the harbor dressed ship; 
altogether, the affair was an unqualified success. 
During the evening an excellent entertainment was ar- 
ranged by Mr.' Clay M. Greene. He was assisted by Mr. 
Charles Stevenson, Mr. Fritz Williams and other well- 
known men. 
From a small beginning, the Manhasset Bay Y. C. has 
rapidly forged ahead, so that to-day it is one of the 
-strongest organizations on the coast. Its affairs have 
been carefully and conservatively managed, and its mem- 
bership is consequently of the highest class. 
We have received a copy of the Yachtsman's Guide, a 
most valuable book compiled by Mr. M. J. Kiley, of 
Boston. The volume is filled with information of value 
to yachtsmen, and every yacht should have a copy aboard 
for referencg.
