In the Class C race Susie C. won; time, 51m. 
10s. The boats entered against her were with¬ 
drawn. In the Class B race Mack was the win¬ 
ner in 58m. 54s. Treser came second and- 
Darinda third in ih. 2m. 
The first race was won by Blue Wing II. 
Jack Rabbit won second place and the cup in 
ih. im. 50s. Several of the boats in the various 
races broke down and two or three were with¬ 
drawn. The regatta was held at West End 
under the auspices of the Southern Y. C. A 
large crowd witnessed the regatta. 
F. G. G. 
Germany and the America’s Cup. 
. Vice-Admiral Barandon, who is on this side 
with the German Sonder class boats, talked last 
week, while at the Eastern Y. C., about German 
yachting and the America’s cup. He said Ger¬ 
many would challenge some day. When asked 
how soon he said: “Not for six or eight years 
at least. We must have time for German yacht¬ 
ing to grow. We have not as many rich men 
in German)' as you have here, who would pay 
for a racing cutter.” 
“If a challenge were sent, would not the Em¬ 
peror be the challenger? Has he not ample 
means to build a cutter? 
“Yes, he has means, but he has many ways 
of employing them, and he is a very busy man. 
Still, the Emperor is interested in international 
yachting, and no one wants more to see German 
yachting grow. 
“The best yachts built in Germany have been 
schooners designed by Max Oertz, who also de¬ 
signed the little Sonder boats we have here for 
the match. He is a very clever designer. I 
hear he has gone in for aviation and has an 
aeroplane of his own. I am afraid he will break 
his neck. That would be bad for German yacht¬ 
ing. 
“Mr. Oertz designed the Emperor’s new 
schooner Meteor IV. and the schooner Ger¬ 
mania, which was built last year. I hear an 
order may be placed with him for another 
schooner this year. This is Germany’s first fleet 
of large yachts. 
“I understand that an order for a schooner 
will also be placed with William Fife, the 
Scotch designer, for a schooner to race against 
the German yachts. That is a good thing for 
German yachting, for if she wins from them 
we can learn how to improve our designs, and 
if she loses we will learn how much progress 
we have made.” 
After expressing this view of the value ot 
a foreign design to German yachting, Admiral 
Barandon reverted to the subject of cutter 
yachts. 
“We have never built any large cutter yachts 
in Germany, you know,” he said, “and we must 
now turn our attention to a 15-meter class. This 
will give us a chance to develop in the direc¬ 
tion of large cutters. We have only had ex¬ 
perience yet with small boats, like the Sonder 
class. We must progress by degrees. So I say 
that it will be six or eight years before we ar¬ 
rive at the large cutter yacht. 
“You see, conditions in yachting in Germany 
are not the same as they are here. Relatively 
few men go in for yachting with us. We are 
troubled to get skippers who can handle big 
yachts, and until recently have employed Eng¬ 
lish skippers. The time will come when we 
shall have German skippers, but it must come 
slowly.” 
Admiral Barandon was asked if the next 
transatlantic race would be sailed in 1910, in 
accordance with the tentative announcement 
made shortly after the race of 1905, it being 
stated then that the Emperor would again put 
up a cup for such an event. 
“The matter is not settled yet, but I think it 
will be postponed,” he said. “Probably it will 
take place in 1912. It is best to have it go over 
a little. Germany will be better equipped to 
participate in it three years from now than it 
would next year.” 
Responding to the remark that his country 
had made remarkable strides in yachting since 
the last transatlantic race, Admiral Barandon 
said : 
"Yes; we had then but one racing schooner, 
the Hamburg, formerly Rainbow, of George L. 
Watson’s design. In the next race we shall 
have a fleet of German schooners to choose our 
starters from. We have not yet had time to 
find out all that can be done under the Euro¬ 
pean rating rule, which went into effect two 
years ago. 
“Thistle, which raced for the America cup 
in 1887 and was called Meteor by the Emperor, 
is now Comet. She was given by the Emperor 
to the officers of the North Sea Naval Station 
and is kept at Wilhelmshaven. 
“Meteor II., the yawl built from Watson’s 
designs to the Emperor’s order in England, is 
now Orion. She was given by the Emperor to 
the officers of the Baltic Naval Station at Kiel. 
“The American schooner Meteor III., built 
in New York to the Emperor’s order in 1902, 
is now laid up and is for sale. She was de¬ 
signed by A. Cary Smith, and is a very fine 
yacht. The Emperor likes his new yacht better 
because she carries out German ideas and is 
typical of German progress in yachting.”

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm H. Gregg, ot St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings, and 12 colored illustration*. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $ 4 . 00 . 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the molt 
value to the angler who desides to identify the fish he 
taxes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cut* 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.
