Long Island Y. R. A. 
The last of the season’s events of the asso¬ 
ciation came to an end yesterday with a regatta 
at New Rochelle. It was one of the best events 
of the year, there being eighteen starters and 
many close finishes. On board M. W. Houch’s 
Triune, the regatta committee consisted of Theo¬ 
dore Granbery, Alfred Stoddard and R. M. 
Haddock. The winners were Alert, with an easy 
victory in her class of six starters; Mist, which 
trimmed Victory by nearly 2m.; Amorita IV., 
beating Circe by only a few seconds, and Ada, 
a winner by 4m. over John Lambden’s Grace II.

Michicago Comes Back. 
Michicago, recent defender in the interna¬ 
tional races, won handily last Saturday. The 
closing race of the season she defeated the best 
on the lake front in the 15-mile Sir Thomas Lip- 
ton trophy event. Michicago was sent over the 
line alone in the 40-foot class, along with the 
Morgan schooner Natant. She soon passed the 
big craft, for the first leg of the race was a 
close reach. The second leg was a spinnaker 
run and Michicago made good time. The last 
leg was a beat and Michicago again showed her 
speed. Her time was 2.45.04. L. J. Lambin's 
21-foot Invader gave Michicago a hard run for 
the trophy, as she was only a minute and fifty 
seconds behind when the time allowances had 
been figured. Roy M. Barcal’s sloop Illinois cap¬ 
tured the heat from George B. Currier’s Leda, 
E. M. Mills’ Mavourneen and Seeboomook. Wil¬ 
liam Haedtler’s Cherry won the McCormick 
trophy from a fleet of ten boats. The summary:

GAVIAL FROM THE GANGES. 
For the second time in the history of the 
park, we have a gavial. This time the specimen 
is of good size. The gavial is interesting be¬ 
cause of its habitat—the Ganges and Jumna 
Rivers in India, and its striking form. The 
very long, thin snout is like the handle of _ a 
frying-pan. The time was when the gavial 
sometimes played a part in some of the religious 
rites of the Hindus. It is recorded that in times 
past the Hindu mothers did not hesitate to throw 
their tiny babies into the Ganges, as an offering 
to the God of the river. It is a fact, however, 
that the inhabitants of the Ganges-Jumna region 
do not hold the gavial as sacred, for it is a 
matter of record that in 1877 Director Horna- 
day collected twenty-five specimens, great and 
small, without precipitating any trouble with the 
natives.—New York Zoological Society Bulletin.
