as to the number of hooks used. 
In New Jersey the law, as amended in 1903, reads ; "It 
shall be unlawful to put, place, use or maintain in any of 
the waters of this State inhabited by pickerel, pike, pike- 
perch, black bass, Oswego bass, white bass, calico bass, 
perch or trout, any set-line or set-lines, or to use upon a 
line for the taking of fish in such waters any contrivance 
having more than three hooks, or more than one burr or 
three hooks attached thereto, under a penalty of twenty 
dollars for each offense."

Reliance was given her first trial under sail on Sat- 
urday, April 25. The boat was tried on every point 
of sailing, and the spin proved to be a very success- 
ful one. The wind was very light when Reliance got 
up anchor, about half past nine, and she drifted slow- 
ly with the tide away from Bristol and down Narra- 
gansett Bay. After drifting about for an hour or more 
a little southwest breeze helped matters some, but it 
was still too light to heel her down. However, the 
breeze gained strength, and was soon blowing seven 
or eight knots, and in the smooth water Reliance 
moved along very smartly. 
It was just after noon when Reliance reached New- 
port, and the anchor was dropped, and all hands had 
an opportunity to get some luncheon. Early in the 
afternoon Reliance was again taken out, and by this 
time the breeze was blowing about ten knots. 
There was a little jump of a sea on, but as she beat 
out to Brenton's Reef lightship it did not seem to 
bother her in the least. She pointed high and footed 
very fast, although Captain Barr pinched her so that 
the head sails were constantly fluttering. After trying 
her at reaching she was put dead before it, and the 
spinnaker was set, which she was able to carry nearly 
all the way back to Bristol. Reliance made very, little 
disturbance in moving through the water and she left 
it very clean. 
The boat handled perfectly. The sails that were per- 
fect at the start stretched out fast and seemed to be 
a bit big for the spars. The headsails were only fair 
and will have to be recut. Altogether the results were 
more than satisfactory.

plans of a centerboard 15ft. knockabout that was designed 
by Mr. William H. Hand, Jr., New Bedford, Mass. 
Phinney & Co., Monument Beach, are building two boats 
from the design; one is for Mr. E. F. Atkins and the 
other is for Mr. H. O. Underwood. These gentlemen 
will use the boats for racing and day sailing at Nantucket. 
In general appearance above the waterline these boats 
strongly resemble the one-design keel 15-footers now 
building from Mr. Hand's design for members of the 
New Bedford Y. C. 
The dimensions are as follows : 
Length — 
Over all 25ft. ij/^in.

Overhang — 
Bow 4ft. 8 in. 
Stern 5fl. 5j4in.

Bow 2ft. 2%.m. 
Stern ift. 7 in.

Extreme 2ft. 2 in. 
Lead keel 1,000 lbs. 
Displacement 2,750 lbs. 
Sail area —

Total 341 sq. ft. 
Boston Letter. 
Boston, April 27. — The Regatta Committee of the 
Eastern Y. C. has prepared its list of fixtures for the 
coming season. The list is a very good one, and in- 
cludes races for yachts of all sizes, from the i8-footer 
to the big 90ft. sloops and all of the larger sloops 
and schooners. The events are so divided that con- 
siderable interest should be shown in each. In re- 
soonse to an invitation of the New York Y. C, the 
Eastern Y. C. fleet will join in the annual cruise of the 
former, meeting the New York Y. C. fleet at New 
London. From there the cruise will be a joint one. 
Squadron runs will be made from Marblehead to New 
London, and at the close of the joint cruise, a race 
will be given off Newport by tht Eastern Y. C, open 
to the yachts of both clubs, including 90ft. sloops. The 
complete list of fixtures is as follows: 
June 19, Friday. — Open race for small classes. 
July 3, Friday. — Open race for small classes. 
July 4, Saturday.— Open race for small classes. 
July II, Saturday. — Squadron run to Gloucester. 
July 13, Monday. — Annual regatta. 
July 15, Wednesday. — Annual cruise; squadron run, 
Marblehead to Vineyard Haven. 
July 16, Thursday. — Squadron run; Vineyard Haven 
to Newport. _____ 
July 17, Friday. — Squadron run; Newport to New 
London. 
July 25, Saturday. — Open race, Newport; open to 
E. Y. C. and N. Y. Y. C. 
Aug. I, Saturday. — Squadron run; Marblehead to 
Gloucester. 
Aug. 3, Monday. — Open race for small classes. 
Aug. 15, Saturday. — Squadron run; Marblehead to 
Gloucester. 
Sept. 4, Friday. — Open race for small classes. 
Sept. 5, Saturday. — Open race for small classes. 
From the programme of the annual cruise, it will 
be seen that the Eastern Y. C. fleet is expected to ar- 
rive in New London Friday evening, July 17, and will 
be off the Pequot House when the New York fleet 
arrives on Saturday. When the two fleets meet con- 
siderable cannonading may be looked for. 
A meeting of the Boston Y. C. is to be held at the 
Rowe's Wharf Clubhouse on Wednesday evening, at 
7:30, when several proposed amendments to the by-laws 
will be acted upon. The Membership Committee re- 
ports the following recent elections to membership: 
Full membership, Allen J. Litchfield, William B. Brint- 
nall, Edward M. Oilman, James G. Casey, Sumner E. 
Brown, Charles A. Campbell, Beverly R. Wood, Will-' 
iam S. H. Pease, Charles Henry Davis and Samuel 
N. Braman; Dorchester division, Thomas F. White, 
Louis A. Radell and John J. McCormack. It is an- 
nounced that the non-yacht owner membership limit 
of 750 is about reached. 
Messrs. Burgess and Packard have just designed for 
a syndicate of the San Francisco Y. C, headed by_Mr. 
John W. Pew, a racing machine of extreme dimensions. 
She will be 70ft. over all, 28ft. waterline, 15ft. beam 
and 2ft. 9in. draft. With her centerboard down she 
will draw about gft. The forward overhang is 26ft., 
only 2ft. less than the waterline length. Her ends lay 
very close to the water, so that she will use very near- 
ly all of her over all length when she is heeled. While 
she is a cabin yacht, she will be no less extreme than 
the Quincy cup defender, Outlook. There will be a 
vertical bridge truss above the deck and running 
through the cabin, from a little abaft the stem to a 
little forward of the taffrail. The after part of this 
truss is latticed. The steering gear and wheel are set 
up on top of it. She is of the scow form, her forward 
end being di'awn in somewhat more than in the Out- 
look. She is designed to race for the San Francisco 
challenge cup. 
Mr. E. A. Boardman has sold the 21-footer Gadfly, 
owned by Gilpin Lovering, to Mr. W. H. Trumbull. 
He has an order for a iS-footer for Mr. William 
Parker, of Halifax, N. S. The 22-footer, designed by 
Mr. Boardman for Mr. George Lee, will be built by 
White, of Manchester. 
Messrs. Small Bros, have an order for an auxiliary 
cruising yawl for Mr. H. E. Pratt, of Los Angeles, 
Cal. She will be a keel boat, 35ft. over all, 27ft. water- 
line and 5ft. draft, and will have a very moderate sail 
plan. They have sold the 21-footer Thecla, owned by 
Mr. C. W. Chapin, to Mr. William Claflin. She will 
be raced in Buzzard's Bay. These designers report 
that work is progressing on the auxiliary 85ft. schooner 
for Mr. W.' A. Gardner. The hatches, combings, sky- 
lights and companionways are being made in Neponset.
