A PRIMER OF FORESTRY.

The United States department of agri-
culture has in press and will soon issue
bulletin No. "a, Division of Forestry
The bulletin is the first part of paper
entitled "A Primer of Forestry" and
was prepared by Clifford Pinchot, fores-
ter of the department, who lectured here
recently at Yale Art school. 1t deals
with the units which compose the forest,
with its character as an organic whole,
and with ite enemies. 1t is divided into
four chapters.
The first chapter treats Of the life Of
the tree 1t describes its three parts
roots trunk and croWn-ts food, COM
position of wood, brea thing, transpira-
ton, growth, structure of wood, annual
rings and heartwood and sapwood.
The second chapter is devoted to dis
cussion of the various requirements of
trees-heat, moisture. and light-their
rate of growth and reproductive power,
pure and mixed forests, and reproduce
ton by sprouts.
The third chapter gives the life his
tory of a forest, showing the help and
harm which the trees receive from one
another. This history embraces the life
of community of trees, the life of a
forest crop, the seven ages of tree,
the beginning of a forest crop, the for
est cover established, the beginning of
the struggle, growth in height the
struggle continued, natural pruning, the
elimination of growth, the end of the
struggle, and death from weakness and
decay.
The last chapter deals |ith the en-
emies of the forest, of which fires and
reckless numbering are classed as the
worst. In the United States wind and
sheep grazing come next. Cattle and
horses do much less damage than sheep,
and snow breakis less costly than wind
fall Landsldes, floods, insects, and
fungi are sometimes very harmful. In
certain sections numbers of trees are
killed by lightning, which has also been
known to set woods on fire, and the for
est is attacked in many other ways.
The bulletin is illustrated with forty
seven plates and eighty-three text fig

TRANSFER OF A PAGER.

"A Fast Horse That May be Faster in
the Future-Full Brother to Monopole,
2.Os1b-Particular of the Two Pac-
ers.
George G. Nesbit of this city has pur-
chased of his brother, James L. Nesbit,
the chestnut -colored PAGER that won the
first money in the 2:50 class at Bran
ford last Saturday, where he was en-
tered as Tom Nolan. This was the first
race for the PAGER and probably the
first time he has been called on to show
his speed in company. He has had sub
stantially no training, but has been con-
sidered very promising. A natural pac-
err. with remarkably smooth and easy
gait. it is presumed that he will If prop
erlv trained and raced, become very
fast.
Manv .horsemen are not aware of the
excellent pedigree of Tom Nolan. Re
garding his breeding the following, pub
1ished nearly two years ago among the
New Haven news in the American
Horse Breeder. is evidently authentic:
"Janes L. Nesbit of this city drives a
chestnut PAGER that shows an inclina-
tion to go fast, which is not surprising
when his credentials are considered. he
was sired by Leicester, 2:l7A, and MS
dam was Robin, by Abraham, son OF
Daniel Lambert-grandam by Daniel
Webster. Mr.. Nesbit's PAGER is full
brother to Monopole 2:14A.'

wear. when he won large amount OF
money and closed the season with the
very creditable record of 2:0S12. He

PECK AND PURITAN COLLIDE
NEW HAVEN BO4T COMES OUT IN
INJURED IN A CRASH YESTERDAY.
Made Her Return Trip as Usual to This
city Last Night-AImost Panic On
Board Both VesseIs-Camc Together
Nenr City Island.

The steamer Richard Peck of the New
Haven line, which collided with the Pu-
ritan of the Fall River line yesterday
morning, made her regular scheduled
trip from New York to this city, appar-
emily in an uninjured condition. The
steamboat authorities said last night
that the Peck was not damaged to any
extent, and that probably no repairs
would be necessary. A few splinters
were knocked off the bow but the big
steamer was more fortunate than the
Puritan, which had big hole punched
in her starboard side.
The accident occurred near City Isl
and about o'clock and considerable eX-
ctement prevailed among the passen-
gers on board both boats When the
steamers backed off it was quickly seen
that the damage was not sufficient to
prevent them from proceeding to their
piers, and their captains gave orders to
do So Immediately.
AS soon as the Peck tied up at her
slip Captain Hardy reported the accl-
dent to the general officers of the New
Haven line Captain Hardy says the
Puritan was wholly responsible for the
collision, and the government inspectors
may be called to act.
The passage to He'll Gate is narrow
one, and it is alleged that the Puritan
officers were croWding the Peck on APP
preaching the Gate, and owing to the
shoal water and sunken reefs it was
impossible for the Peck to alter her
course. Captain Hardy in his report
to the officials says he had the right of
way and can see no excuse for the ac-
ton of the Puritan captain.
a big cash in the Puritans side was
discovered just aft of the paddle-wheel

THE SHAMROCK WINS AGAIN
OUTSdILS THE BRITANNIA IN THE
SECOND RACE.
Course Not Completed Owing to Am
Engagement of the Prince of Wales
Who Was On the Defeated Yacht
Shamrock Grounds But Is Easily Got

CoWes, July 19,--There was beautiful
| weather to-day for the second trial of
Shamrock against Britannia, and there
were big crowds, both ashore and afoat,
to witness the race. The course to-day
was Yesterdays course reversed, the
starting point being off the Royal Yacht
Squadrons house, around the Solent
Bank buoy, thence to the Nab lighthip,
finishing at the Sput buoy off Ports
mouth. The Prince of Wales boarded
the Britannia shortly after the start
There was a good southwesterly
breeze blowing all the morning, but it
softened considerably toWaIds the time
for the starting of the race. Both yachts
carried club topsails. A 6ood start was
effected al 1912 a. M, Shamrock cross
ing the line half length ahead of her
competitor, being very smartly handled.
She had a new spinnaker set for the
run to the Solent Bank and her sails
seemed 10 sc, better than yesterday. The
breeze almost died out as the yachts
stood along shore, and the boats housed
their spinnakers
Shamrock then headed for the center
Of the channel to avoid becoming be-
Gained on the lse of the island, Britain
MIA following. There was but little air,
and the yachts practically drifted dur
ing the next half hour. The breeze then
revived, and Shamrock, which mean
while had slightly increased her lead,
secured a start, widening the gap that
separated her from Britannia, and
rounded the Solent Bank buoy at 11:17:-
90 Britannia rounded the buoy at H.:
PIES
The boats returned clos hauled on the
port tack. There was only the fantest
breeze and Britannia was getting the
best of it, slightly reducing the gap,
Nearing Cowes, however, the breeze
freshened considerably, and the beat to
the Nab lightship promised to show bet
ter time.
Shamrock passed Ryde, going towards
the Nab lightship, a mile and a half
ahead of Britannia, and finally won cas-
lily
The course as originally planned was
not completed. When off Southsea Bri-
Wales had an engagement in London,
and requested that the race be consid-
cred over, as he must return to Ports
mouth. Shamrock was then twelve to
fifteen minutes ahead. She was imme-
diately turned homcwards, and directly
afterwards grounded on a bank outside
Horsefoot Fort She remained fast for
ten minutes whsn she was safely and
easily towed off and back to Southamp-
ton.
As was the case yesterday, the Sham
rock showed her superiority. Beating to
windward, she ran away from her OPP
ponent to the Nab lghtship and again
put about in ten seconds, thu Britannia
twelve seconds in the man.
ouvra The whole performance again
showed that the challenger is far ahead
of the Britannia, although the unfortu-
nate becalming of the boats pr9cluded
the finishing of the course before the
Prince of Wales was obliged to start for
The Shamrock was apparently not
by grounding.
