To Build an Aquarium. 
New Orleans, La., Sept. 11 . —Editor Forest 
and Stream: Fishermen from the Gulf coast 
towns near New Orleans report pretty fair luck 
in the past week or ten days. There have been 
a number of sheepshead, redfish, some pompano 
and a great many speckled trout caught. It is 
stated by those familiar with this sport that the 
fishing is best in September and early October,' 
and it is probable the parties leaving New Or¬ 
leans each Saturday will be largely increased 
from now on. The chief fishing places near 
here are Chef Menteur, the Rigolets, Lake 
Catherine, North Point, Waveland and several 
of the bayous. 
The commission has proposed the erection of 
an immense aquarium in Elks Place, in this 
ciyt which will contain several varieties of Gulf 
water fish furnished partly by the United States 
Government. It is the intention of the commis¬ 
sion to make this a perpetual exhibit and allow 
the public to see the display free of charge at 
any time. It is thought this will prove a popu¬ 
lar move and interest hundreds of people.

Sonder Class Races. 
Joyette, owned by Commodore William LI. 
Childs, of the Bensonhurst Y. C., won the 
President Taft cup offered for the German- 
American match. She also won the Governor 
Draper cup, but as the winner of-the President 
haft cup could not take the other trophy, the 
Governor Draper cup went to Ellen, owned by 
C. P. Curtis, of Boston. Joyette. by her vic¬ 
tory, proved that she is the best all-around 
boat, and she won the last and deciding race 
in what was termed Ellen weather, light airs 
and smooth seas, and she won, too, because 
she was cleverly handled by W. W. Swan, C. 
D. Mower, her designer, and Butler Whiting. 
Phe Governor Draper cup was presented at a 
dinner in the Eastern Y. C. house by Gov¬ 
ernor Draper, and President Taft presented 
the cup named for him on board the Mayflower 
at a luncheon, to which the German visitors, 
the crews and owners of the competing yachts 
and some members of the Eastern Y. C. were 
invited. 
The fifth race of the series was sailed on 
Labor Day. There were three starters, Joyette, 
Hevella and Ellen, the others having been 
eliminated through not having won a race in 
the first four races. The course was triangular 
and the wind was light and sea smooth. The 
wind was W. S. W., and the first leg of the 
course was laid to windward. There had been 
some delay in making the warning signal be¬ 
cause the wind was not steady, and the yachts 
were sent away at 11:40 o’clock. In maneuver¬ 
ing, Joyette stuck to Hevella, and when they 
crossed the line on the starboard tack. Hevella 
had the weather position. Joyette was on her 
weather bow and Ellen was to leeward and had 
her wind clear. Joyette soon drew clear of 
Hevella and worked across that yacht’s bow, 
giving her backwind, so that Hevella took the 
port tack and Joyette and Ellen followed at 
once. All then headed to the west. They held 
this tack for about 25 minutes, and then 
Hevella took the starboard tack and passed 
astern of Joyette. Joyette at once took the 
starboard tack, and both passed astern of 
Ellen. Ellen led at the weather mark by 20s., 
and Joyette was second, 30s. ahead of Hevella. 
The wind had canted more to the south, so 
that spinnakers were carried on the second 
leg of the triangle. Hevella drew up on Joyette, 
and these two had a hot fight, which enabled 
EJlen to draw further ahead, so that at the 
second mark she led by 29s. and Joyette was 15s. 
ahead of Hevella. Booms were jibed to port 
for the reach home. Joyette and Ellen sailed 
very closely on this leg and both drew away 
from Hevella, so that at the end of the first 
round Ellen led by 30s. and Hevella was im. 7 s - 
astern of Joyette. 
All three took the port tack as soon as they 
passed the home mark. Joyette and Ellen each 
made a short hitch. Hevella stood off shore 
at 1:25:00 and later she met Joyette standing 
out as she crossed that yacht, but passed astern 
of Ellen. Ellen led by im. 48s. at the weather 
mark, and Hevella was second, im. 5s. ahead of 
Joyette. Down the wind Ellen was favored, 
getting a steady air all the time, while Joyette 
ran into a calm spot and lost considerably. 
Ellen increased her lead to the second mark,
