VISITANTS IN CENTRAL PARK. 
New York, March 24, 1914. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I take pleasure in announcing the arrival in 
Central Park, of robins, purple grackles, and 
song sparrows. I saw all of 'them to-day, for the 
first time this season. I also heard the exquisite 
song of the fox sparrow. A few jincos still re¬ 
main, but most of them seem to have gone north. 
Two wild black ducks were flying about the 72nd 
street lake. A few of these ducks return 'to the 
Park each season, and several pairs actually breed 
there. Downy woodpeckers were numerous.

By “Golden Gate.” 
The San Francisco Yacht Club has decided to 
challenge for the San Francisco perpetual chal¬ 
lenge cup, which was taken away from the bay 
last summer for the first time by the Sequoia 
Yacht Club of Eureka. The race will be held on 
Humboldt Bay and will be sailed on May 10th, 
according to present plans. Recently Commo¬ 
dore Pell, of the San Francisco Yacht Club, 
named a committee to select a boat to represent 
the club as follows: George B. Dinsmore, Ar¬ 
thur Stevens, H. A. W. Dinning, James F. Lana- 
gan, W. G. Morrow, W. K. Smith and Clarence 
McCarthy. These yachtmen have since selected 
the Ruby S., owned by Arthur Stevens and built 
last year. This yacht is rated at 22.4 feet under 
the universal rules and has shown splendid speed. 
Mr. Stevens -journeyed to Eureka last week to 
view the course that would be sailed, and is satis¬
