one for fish of all kinds. The blue fish appear to he gorged 
with food. Weakfish are coming now, several having been 
taken to day. This season is what n sportsman generally 
terms ‘'between wind and water," or, in other words, just 
between the first run of fish and the general arrival of nil 
kinds for the Summer. We expect better luck next week

TROUT FISHING AT BAYFIELD, LAKE 
SUPERIOR. 
Bayfield, Wis., May 28th, 18.-5. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
By general consent BayOchl Is the most (Ulractive point on I.ako Su- 
perior for pleasure and healili seekers. Beautiful ami picturesquely sit- 
uaied behind the Apostle Islands, which land-lock i> const of over fifty 
miles, where boating in smnll boats Is a mutter of entire wifely, and with 
the incomparable heolthfulness of climate, pure water, amt delicious Osh 
of various kinds com nine In uffordlng attractions iliat can only lie ap- 
preciated by those enjoying then). The special feature among the at- 
tractions of Bayfield Is the numerous trout streams ami the trout fishing 
along the coast in the vicinity. There ore between twenty-five mid fitly 
streams running into the lake within the limits of the coast protected by 
the islands, which sccin to possess cxbnustlcss numbers of brook trout, 
nnd it) addition the fishing along the coast for the whole distance (About 
fifty miles) is unexcelled. The “rock fishing," ns tills const fishing i» 
termed, tin# afforded yoor correspondent more genuine spurt than lie re- 
ceived from nil other sources combined. Tins Is said, too, with a two 
years' experience in the Rocky Mountains wall rillcnnd rod iu “foresi 
nnd stream'’ of that wild region, where only the feet of hnntsmnn and 
savage have pressed the rock-ribbed wastes I cannot go into the details 
to give your renders n description of the feelings of pleasure experienced 
in inking clghiy trout, averaging two pounds cacti, in a single day where 
I here was an open field for fish nnd fisherman to each display their dex- 
terity nnd skill. 
Boat* leave almost dnily from Buffalo, Cleveland. Detroit, and Chi- 
cago for this place; also from Duluth, which is reached by rail via St. 
Pant. The Wisconsin Central from Milwaukee to Ashland (eighteen 
miles distant from Bayfield) has not yet been completed clear through, 
nnd i«, therefore, not in a condition for persons to reach here by that 
route. The accommodations here have never been cqnal to the demand. 
This season, however, considerable oddiiional sccommodmions have been 
provided by several hoarding houses being fitted up. J, B. Bono can 
comfortably accdlnmodute twelve persons; George Stark can do the 
same; N. La Boota fonr or five; William Herbert seven or eight; Mr 
Millignu, on the Bed Clifl Iudlun Reservation, where be is beautifully 
located, can accommodate several, and so can Cot. E. E. Henderson on 
a farm eight miles from here, and where one of the fluest trout streams 
to bo found in uuy country runs throngh the yard. These are all, in ad- 
dition to Smith’s Hotel, which can accommodate about one hundred per- 
sons. We have here three steam yacht# that can be hired at any time at 
loiv rale«, in addition to any Bomber of small boats suitable for boating 
and fishing purposes. Tho yachts ore owned by lion. S. S. Vaughn, 
l.'npt. S. W. Tanner, nnd Cnpl. -James Chapman. The loiter gentleman 
Is the “crack fisherman" of this section, nnd tho times are comparatively 
without number that the writer hereof and " Chap" have vied with each 
other, with a seal worthy the cause of the statesman or philanthropist, 
to outdo each other in reeling in the speckled beaut. cs. lie is entitled 
to the prise Isaac H. Wing, Enq., Receiver of the Unitea Stales Land 
Ofiice. Is no "e-touch" of a fisherman, and rounds up his pile at sunset 
In proportions ihm rile np the bile of jealousy. Copt. T. J. L. Tyler is 
pretentions, and with bis Jong, jointless bamboo maungea to "make it 
hot" for the “hoys." The Bayfield Sportsmen's Club is kept np with 
the offices perpetuated lu the persons of John H. Knight, President; B 
B. Wade, Esq,, Secretary, and Col. J. D. Crittenden, Treasurer. I 
onght to add that those who enjoy trolling for the large lake trout, angling 
for perch, eunflsh, pickerel, Ac., can bo more amply accommodated here. 
Tins is the finest country for camp life Hint I ever tented In, null during 
the nine year# I was iu the army certainly four of them were passed iu u 
tent, so that I ought to be a judge of ihut sort of life. Trout raising 
could be most profitably carried on here, for tho expense of preparation, 
stocking, Ac., would he a mere bagatelle. Persons desiring any Informa- 
tion about lids section will receive It upon dropping u iiue to any of the

The Sf.awaniiaka Schooner Race. — When at the early 
hour of seven o'clock the members of the Seuwnnhaka 
Yacht Club and their guests assembled on board the good 
steamer Cyclops, at the Battery, there was but little up- 
pearance of their long-looked-for schooner regalia proving 
the success it afterward became. Arrived at Stateu Island 
the Ariel and Peerless were picked up and towed to the 
llook, where the other entered verbis were found. Willi 
the consent of t lie owners of the Idler and Palmer, the 
only two yachts entered in the lir-l class, the Comet, though 
only measuring 82 feel, was rated at 00 feet and put in tliat 
class. The entries in the second class were the Triton, 
Peerless. Restless, Meta, and Ariel. The start was from 
buoy No. 5, aod the course twenty miles t» windward from 
that point. The Palmer was llic first to cross the line at 
12h. 30m. 2s., followed by the others in quick succession. 
The wind was row blowing with a freshness which gave 
the yachts all they wanted, and snug canvas was the order 
of the day. The Cyclops steamed oil to windward until 
she hud logged the required twenty miles, and then an- 
chored to await the racers. They rounded her iu the fol- 
lowing order:— 
It. M. S I II. M. S. 
Palmer. ...a 24 50 Peerless » 41 H3 
Comet. -I ia 40 Id hT 4 uti it 
Rrnlli-M -1 -II Oil Meta 5 Oil 46 
The Ariel and Triton hud found the heavy sea too much 
for them and returned to the Hook. By the time the Cy- 
clops had picked up her anchor the yachts had oblniued 
such a start that she could not catch up with them, and the 
yachts were obliged to take their own time. The Palmer 
wins the prize in the first class, and the Peerless in the 
second. 
Atlantic Yacht Cum Regatta. — This interesting 
event was sailed on Tuesday of last week, hut our report 
came to hand too late for that issue of our paper. The 
day, as far as wind was concerned, was almost more than 
could be desired. A heavy southeaster was blowing, pre- 
venting the smaller yachts from proceeding further Ilian 
t lie Southwest Spit. The schooners and the Undine of the 
first-class sloops rounded the lightship, and the run home 
wits very interesting. The following is the result as far ns 
the yachts which completed the course are concerned:—

— Very praiseworthy in the owner of the Comet to put 
his schooner in the first class in order lo make a race in the 
Seawanhaka regatta, but unfortunate ns far as winning was 
concerned. The Fulmer was too many guns for her. It 
would have been pleasant to have secu the Magic and 
Comet together on Thursday. 
— Sag Harbor is to have a gala day on the 5th instant — a 
boat race, tub race, foot race, bag race, greased pig, an 
oration, dinner, nnd a regatta. A very elegant silver urn,

Tho Clytie, when passing t lie line, lost her bnlloon jih booming pole 
overboard, but returned for it nml her time was retaken. The race in 
the second class schooners was a foregone conclusion, and though a very 
pretty rnco was expected between the Clyde nnd Nimbus, as well as be- 
tween Iho Coining and tho lending schooner, tho point of grouted in- 
terest lay with the antagonists of last year, the Halcyon and Foam. Tho 
Foam was sailed by tho Vico Commodore himself, who uiukos It a rale 
always so sail his own boat, nnd yesterday lie certainly sailed tier very 
well. It would he hard to find the place where a professional sailing 
master could have improved upon him. The Halcyon lm* clmngcd 
hands since last season, nnd is now the property of Mr. Charles Whit- 
ney, lute of llic Julia, who made his first trip iu her yesterday. 
After rounding the spindle, balloon jibs and staysails were sent aloft, 
though the first class schooners agreed not to carry big gall 
topsails. Here the Coining atiot ahead of the fleet, nnd Pd off nt n great 
jMice, with a broad space of clear wntcr between her and the rest of tho 
fleet. The Halcyon, In the meanwhile, wa* running through Iho fleet, 
nnd after rounding the Pigs winged out her foresail and started for tho 
Coming. The Foam also was sailing very well and looking very hand- 
some, hut got mixed up with the Brenda, so that her sutls were partially 
blanketed. The Imogen here hauled out of tho race, while the Commo- 
dore was slipping throngh the water nt 11 very good pace close after tho 
Halcyon. Half Way Rock was rounded n« follows, tho boats hauling 
up for a dead heat to the Hardings:—

Neither the Coming or Halcyon had gained on each other. Once on 
the wind the two big schooners were off with 11 Jump, the Foam picking 
up quickly on the Rebecca and Azalia; all the fleet at first stocking out 
011 the starboard tack. Coming was the first to go about, Halcyon fol- 
lowing her loud, when she got a little to the windward of her. Azalia 
stood out longer and seemed to have lost by It. as (lie was not up to her 
usual place In tho line. Coming stood way In shore, and went out of 
sight from the steamer, in the haze, for n time. Hulcyou stood in n lllllo 
way, then tacked out agoln, all flic time steadily gaining on the whole 
fleet nnd slipping very prettily, while Foam was coming jitong after her, 
having disposed of Azalia. After a good tack In tho direction of Mi- 
not's, Halcyon went about and headed for the Hardings. Coining now 
appeared on t of the haze, headed out on tho starboard tuck abend, but 
to leeward of tho Halcyon. For a time It seemed doubtful from the 
steamer whether Halcyon would cross Coming’s how. But all doubt 
was aeon at rest when Halcyon went ahead of the sloop, which tacked 
nml headed for the Hardings, n half mile behind the schooner. 
At 3:11:40 Halcyon bore away round the Harding's Buoy, at lire same 
lime sending up bnlloon jib and staysail The time of the others was 
not taken, as the steamers Imd lo start for homo Immediately, III order 
lo keep np with the Halcyon, who was now going through the water 
beautifully, with every Inch of caiivus drawing well. Tho Foaiu 
rounded Harding's third, the Coming being socoiul. The run home was 
niude in quick lime, the breeze having freshened up so that Brenda was 
down to three sails while on the wind. Tho following Is the summary —
