A Natural Retriever. 
Mv present hunting companion is a fifteen months old 
English setter of good breeding and much sense. The 
man from whom I bought him said he was a ''natural 
retriever." and I guess he knew. 
At first lie ran to okl boots. It was part of my "morn- 
ilig-s devotion" to gather up the accumulation of old 
boots from the lawn. After getting together quite a pile 
of boots, he turned his attention to collecting old hats. 
Where to throw the hats was a' problem, so I cut off a 
small sapling about six feet from the ground, sharpened 
the end and jammed the hats down on it. This was to 
prevent his ringing in the same hat twice on me. Blessed 
if I didn't go out there one morning and find Dash on 
his hind legs trying to put a Derby on the pole. 
His next efforts were given to tin cans, all shapes and 
sizes. This got to be such a nuisance that I was con- 
strained to interview him with a switch whenever a new 
(old) can appeared on the premises. 
Ode day I noticed him coming home with something in 
his month, as Usual. His lips were skinned up and lie 
wore a most disgusted expression, of countenance, all 
caiised by the fumes of a nearly new and recently smoked 
briarwood pipe, which he had "swiped" somewhere. 
Then he brought home a muskrat. a big ( mild turtle 
whose legs wefe sprawling around as turtle's legs Will, 
children's dolls, big rubber balls — hi fact, everything port- 
able that came to his notice'. 
. One day last spring I saw him coming across thesiiow 
bringing something that looked peculiar, which proved 
to be a large fur cape. Jt seems that a neighbor in calling 
at a nearby house had taken off her cape and left it in the 
baby carriage on the piazza. Dash happened along and 
took a fancy to it. 
Last Sunday afternoon while on my piazza lazily dream- 
ing the time away, there came to my vision a woman 
trundling a rosy-cheeked baby. ''The Ghost" (for so we 
call Dash, for short, as he is almost all white) was 
dancing around the outfit, first looking at the woman then 
at the baby in the carriage. The thought flitted through 
my mind that the old lady had better watch out or she 
would lose the baby. And sure enough, in about five 
minutes back came Dash toting the baby in his mouth. 
He had her balanced just right, carrying her by the loose 
folds of her dress, and without hurting her a might. He 
was proud as a peacock, head and tail up and stepping 
high. The stork had always skipped our house, although 
good to our neighbors, and I suppose the dog noticed the 
deficiency and did his best to remedy it. My, but didn't 
that old ladv kick! ' C. E. C. 
Dogfs all Sold, Wants to Head off Letters. 
New Bedford, Mass. — I have sold all of my puppies 
and please take my advertisement from the paper, as it 
keeps me busy answering letters without being able to 
supply the demand. I have had an advertisement in For- 
est and Stream ever since the paper started, and have 
sold over $15,000 worth of dogs. I am entirely satisfied 
with the result of my advertising.

For Cruising Yachtsmen. 
With the purpose of stimulating the interest in cruis- 
ing, and the keeping of a detailed log by cruising yachts- 
men during the- season of 1902, the publishers of Forest 
and Stream offer prizes for the best stories of cruises 
submitted to be published in Forest and Stream. It is 
believed that these will form not only entertaining records 
of pleasant summer days spent afloat along our coasts and 
waterways, but will furnish information of practical value 
to other yachtsmen making subsequent cruises on the, 
same waters. 
Prizes will be awarded to the three best stories as fol- 
lows : 
First jsrize. $50.00. 
Second prize, $30.00. 
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 t 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. 
Messrs. Huntington & Seaman have sold to Mr. 
Joseph R. Grismer, of New York city, the 60-foot cruis- 
ing. launch An Revoir. Her present power is a 16 horse- 
power International gas engine, which is being replaced 
w ith a 25 horse-power motor of the same make. This 
firm has also sold the auxiliary yawl G< -Men Girl to Mr. 
E, Remington, of New York city. 
New Rochelle Y. C. 
NE.W KOCHELLE, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, June 14. 
The annual regatta of the New Rochelle Y. C. that 
was held on Saturday, June 14, was marked by a large 
number of entries, some forty-one boats starting. The 
prospects for a race in the early morning were rather 
slim, as the weather was thick and there was no air 
stirring, but as the morning wore on a little air came 
up front the E.N.E., and continued to increase in force, 
until it was blowing very heavy. There were no starters 
in the 51ft. class, but three boats turned up in the 43ft. 
class. Mira, Effort and Hebe. Dorwina was on hand 
before the race, but did not start. The 43-footers sailed 
three times over a triangular course seven and one-third 
miles in length, making a total distance of twenty-two 
miles. The first leg of the course was a reach, the second 
a beat and the third a reach back to the starting line. 
Effort worked into the lead on the second leg, but when 
she turned the home mark the first time around made a 
mistake. Effort came back and rounded the right way, but 
Mira had worked too far into the lead to be overtaken. 
Effort had to allow 4m. 31s., and she lost by im. 22s. 
Hebe, the third starter in the class, withdrew after going 
around the course once. 
In the 36ft. class Empress, one of the Boston H, O. 
boats, designed by Hanley, sailed against Possum, and 
Cymbra. Cymbra withdrew and Possum beat Empress 
by a very small margin. It was expected that in the 
strong breeze and lumpy sea Empress would have 
everything her own way, but she did not show up as well 
as was hoped. 
Only one of the Newport thirties started, and she took 
a sailover. In the 30ft. class two of the new 30-footers 
that were built under the new rule to race at Bar Harbor 
and Islesboro. were pitted against the Herreshoff fin 
Alerion. Tito, designed by Messrs. Tams, Lemoine & 
Crane, carried away her mast, and was towed to Wood's 
yard, City Island, by the steam yacht Florence. Mimosa, 
the other new boat, designed by B. B. Crowninshield, lost 
her rudder and was forced to withdraw. Alerion was the 
only boat to finish in her class. 
In the raceabout class Mavis (ex Merry wing), who got 
the championship in her class last year, won out, beating 
Jolly Roger, the only other boat that finished. 
Four boats turned up in the Seawanhaka cup trial class 
— Seeress, Massasoit, Nutmeg and Tecumseh. It was 
thought that Seeress would not be in the race with Masso- 
soit in the strong breeze, but to the surprise of every one 
she won out with a good margin to spare. Nutmeg was 
doing better than any race she had been in this season 
when she broke her ' boom and was forced to retire. 
Tecumseh had a very light metal centerboard, and when 
she hauled on the wind it folded up against her bottom. 
Seeress carried a three-reefed mainsail and a No. 2 jib. 
while Massasoit had in only two reefs and swung a small 
jib. It was a reach to the first mark, and Massasoit, with 
her slightly larger sail plan, got away from Seeress slow- 
ly, but as soon as the mark was rounded and sheets were 
flattened down, it was seen that Massasoit could not carry 
her sail. First she took in her jib, but that did not seem 
to help matters, and her skipper worked her into the 
smoother water under the lee of Sands' Point and tied 
in some more cloth. Seeress in the meantime had worked 
well into the lead. She carried her sail well and moved 
verv fast in the lumpy sea. Mr. Herbert Jennings sailed 
a plucky race in Massasoit, and it now remains to be seen 
what Seeress can do with Massasoit in light weather. It 
was rather an interesting and remarkable fact that such 
an extreme racing machine as Seeress should in a strong 
breeze and a heavy sea make the best time over the course 
with the exception of the 43-footers. 
Four of the American Y. C. one-design 21ft. raceabouts 
came down from Rye, and after a good race Howdy won, 
beating Hobo by Im. 49s. 
The Manhasset Bay one-design raceabouts met for the 
first time the New Rochelle one-design raceabouts. The 
Manhasset Bay boats have considerable more power than 
the New Rochelle boats, and i-n consequence had rather 
the best of it under the prevailing conditions. Lambkin 
won in the Manhasset class, while Knave won in the 
New Rochelle class. Some of the boats will have to be 
measured under the new rule adopted by the Y. R. A. of 
L. I. S., and the following summary is given out with the 
understanding that some corrections may have to be made.
