Marine and Field Club Race. 
On Gravesend Bay, on Saturday, June 13,

ward that sent a fleet of twenty-six yachts 
scurrying around the course in good time. 
Crescent had a sail over in the 27ft class. 
Spider won in Class Q. Careless, M. and F. and 
Slow Poke each won in their classes. The sum¬

Brooklyn Y. C. Ocean Race. 
Mr. T. K. Lothrop, Jr., has notified the regatta 
committee of the Brooklyn Y. C. of his entry 
of the sloop Little Hope in the ocean race of 
the club to Cape May and return on July 4. She 
wil fly the colors of the Corinthian Y. C., of 
Marblehead. Mr. John Newton Porter has also 
entered his sloop, Keego. She belongs to the 
Canarsie Y. C. This makes sixteen entries to 
date. 
Owing to numerous requests to postpone the 
closing of the entries, to enable boats in the 
Bermuda race to enter, the date of closing has 
been fixed for June 30. 
The race is open to sailing craft of any or¬ 
ganized yacht club. Full information may be 
had from Mr. Edson B. Schock, chairman re¬ 
gatta committee, or John G. Faist, secretary, this 
city. 
The yawl Tamerlane. Mr. V. D. Bacon, has 
also entered for this race. 
Bermuda to New York. 
The most natural thing for any yachtsman to 
do when there is another to whom he can do 
it, is to challenge him for a race; particularly 
when both yachts are situated as Zurah and 
Esperanza are. They have both got to sail back, 
so why not race. Zurah crossed the starting line 
off Farewell buoy at 2:45 P. M. Saturday, June' 
13 - Esperanza followed at 2 :50. The first yacht 
to pass by the Scotland Lightship will win a 
$200 cup. 
Yacht Sales. 
Mr. Cleveland Bigelow, of Boston, has char¬ 
tered the auxiliary yawl Miller, owned by George 
H. Miller, of Patchogue, L. I., through the 
Hollis Burgess yacht agency. 
The same agency has also sold the 18-footer 
Comet, owned by William O. Doherty, of Mar¬ 
blehead. Mass., to Mr. John H. Storer, Jr., of 
Boston. 
The Frederic Thompson cups, offered by the 
Atlantic Y. C. this season, should tempt a good 
number of entries. There will be $i,ooo worth 
of prizes for the sailboats and $1,500 worth for 
the motor boat men. The race around Fire 
Island for motor boats is a good opportunity 
for them to show their staying powers. 
Sailors in Port. 
Continued from page 9C6. 
“Muchee agua, no bueno!” said one of them, 
noticing how much we drank; but we did not 
care whether much water was good or not for 
us. We drank all we could hold, and then, with 
the Chilano's consent, filled our water bottles 
and proceeded along the road we had been 
traveling, as the Chilano told us it led to the 
sea and a place called Junin. The road con¬ 
tinued to twist and wind down bill all the time, 
and at one place it was just wide enough for one 
wagon to squeeze through, and here, shoved up 
the steep side so as not to blockade the pass, 
lay the grinning skeleton of a mule with its 
shriveled up hide hanging over the white ribs 
like remnants of old gunny cloth. 
The water put new life into us and made us 
hungry, so we ate and sipped water as we 
walked. Finally we turned a corner of the road 
and emerged from the mountains on to a broad, 
level plain some three or four miles across, with 
the blue waters o* the Pacific just visible be¬ 
yond, and on the edge of the plain just above 
the sea was the town of Junin. 
Although the plain was a table land, as flat as 
a board, yet it was very hard walking, as we 
sank in at every step over our shoetops. It 
was not sand, it was a fine dust-like flour that 
rose as we walked in a cloud behind us. Half 
wav across this plain we met a caravan coming 
inland from the coast that consisted of about 
twenty mules hitched in pairs, one ahead of the 
other, drawing a great lumbering truck with 
broad-tired ’wheels that sank nearly to the 
hubs in the fine dust under the load of bags and 
boxes, and back of this one came another with 
an immense iron tank on the wheels, drawn by 
mules like the first one. Then we met a 
Spaniard mounted on a spirited little white pony 
and wearing a broad sombrero, the rim of which 
was decorated with a great many little round 
buttons. He had on a smart little coat highly 
ornamented with braid, and breeches that 
opened up the sides to the knees, the flaps of 
which nearly hid his small feet but left a wicked¬ 
looking spur sticking out behind. 
As we drew near to the town on the coast we 
saw them blasting out saltpeter in a mine to our 
right. Behind us, a huge wall, the moun¬ 
tains extended north and south to the horizon, 
while ahead it seemed as if we could run and 
jump off the edge of the plain into the sea 
below. As w r e neared the town we noticed 
what at a distance looked like quite a city 
resolved itself into a few rows of miserable 
little huts. The first thing we came to was a lot 
of horses and mules grazing in a large fenced- 
in enclosure, while further on were others under 
a rude shed, harnessed ready for work. The 
shanties were laid out so as to form a street 
running seaward to the edge of the coast. 
A group of ironworkers in a- shed, busy at 
their anvils forging iron, stopped their ham¬ 
mering to gaze at us as we passed. Half way 
down the row of huts was a sign displayed, 
“store.” and into this we stepped. It was a 
dark little box of a place, with only one small 
window to light it, and was piled so full of 
barrels and cases there was hardly room for all 
of us to crowd in. A typical looking frontiers¬ 
man stood behind a counter at our left as we 
came in, just such a looking man as you would 
expect to see in Texas—a big sombrero on 
one side of his head and hide boots up to his 
knees. There was everything imaginable 
packed into his litle shanty, but the most 
noticeable thing of all was the number of flies. 
I have never before or since seen the equal of 
that room. The flies actually covered every¬ 
thing, and when the proprietor moved anything, 
they rose in a swarm and made such a buzzing 
it sounded like a bee hive instead of a store. 
We purchased some eatables and asked the man 
what the name of the town was. 
“Junin.” he answered. 
“How far is it to Pisauga?” we queried. 
“Between three and four miles,” said he. 
“You can make it before dark.” 
“How is the road?” 
“Follow along the edge of the cliff, it runs
