There have been many small boats built
to race during the summer. The Tower

members nave bad ten one design boats

These nave been lL by Thomas Fearon at
Yonkers and cost S. Hc} oh. They are a de-
velopment Of the dory in type. but are
smooth planked and have r''ller bilges and
wider storms. They carry 80 square feet
of canvas in a jb and mainsail.
Another one design class will be raced by
members Of the Port Washington Yacht
Club. Ten boats have been built at a cost
Of S225 each. They are u feet over all, is
feet on the water line, 8 feet Q inches beam
and carry $50 square feet Of canvas. Seven
more Of this class have been constructed
for racing on Lake Sunapee. New H8mp-
shire. and eight are 10 bc sailed by members
OF the Lake Of Woods Yacht Club in Winni-
peg. Canada, so that twenty-five have been
built.
The Babylon Yacht Club members rave
a class Of ten boats that cost $500 zach
which will be sailed on the Great South Bay.
These are "a feet over all. Is feet on the water
line. sfeet beam and isinches draught. They
carry 337 square feet Of canvas. Five boats
Of the same design have been built for MEM
bers of the Northport Yacht Club for racing
on Long Isl.Id ound. Altogether Mr..
Mower has turned out fifty boats al a total
cost Of Sl3, G25, or an average Of about t275

snort.

Trout fycastings for distance are usually
classified 50 as to give the heginne RS a
show. They will begin with one open
only to those who nave never cast more
than sixty feet, the next will he the rs foot
class, the next SIS feet, and so on 10 the
classes for distance open to all.
In the latter class at the Anglers Club

the amateurs, while OF the non-amateurs
r. C.. Leonard had III and Z. j. Mills 107
feet. With an eleven foot ten ounce rod
Leonard has an indoor record Of 100 feet.
and. using a ten and a half foot rod, weigh
ing eight and a half ounces, Mills gained the
same distance in the open air at Chicago.
In the class events for distance at trout

also won the third with 81 feet, The point
to he noted is that in the early sos, when
the experts Seth Green and Reuben Wood
were exhibiting fycasting On the circuit

piece.
There was no such star as Enright at the
last tournament, but two worlds records
were made in the single handed bait casting
for distance. zach having five casts with a
half ounce weight. The lead pellets are
used in ait casting instead of artificial
flies.
The record. made by 4, r. Bartholomew,
at Chicago on the grass. was 19s feet 10
inches. Throughout the West the casting
is in a court marked on the lawn aud with
dry lines. In casting on water theNline is
wet, yet the extra weight must help, for
the longest distances are gained in the
latter form of the sport.
On Harlem Mere r. {, Leonard on his
second trial cast the weight 2O3 feet and
on his fifth he gained PA feet 7 inches.
His average was also a record, la4 feet
7 2-5 inches. In the same competition a
member Of the club. Charles Stepath. made
the new amateur record Of 200 feet.
The distinct ion between amateur and
professional is new in casting. The latter.
according to the rule Of the National Assoc
citation Of Scientific Angling Clubs, is one
who is or has been a teacher Of casting for
pay. one who is or has been a market fisher

Moons sport and make good, comfortable

Seven boats have been built for class S.
This is the class for which Sir Thomas
Upton offered a cup for racing on Graves
end Bay through the Crescent Athletic
Club. These boats have been built from
designs by Henry j. Gielow, Charles D..
Mower and Morgan Barney. The Barney
boat is for B.. V. r. and c. F. Speidel of
the New York Canoe Club and is named
Goblin. There are two Mower boats. one
for {. W. Camp Of the Marine and Field ClJb
and one for a syndicate OF Beusonhurst
yachtsmen, headed by Commodore Childs,
which is named Bensonhurst. The four
Glelow boats are nearly finished. The
Gunda for Charles Lembcke and the Blue
Bill for D.. d. Allerton are finished. The
Nereid and the New Moon for the Crescent
Athletic Club will be out in a few days.
These boats vary in size according 70 the
ideas OF the designer. They are about

Something new in American competl-
tons tried at Harlem Mere was with the
dry fv for accuracy. Trout in England
will take a fy best that is not submerged
or trolled on the surface, and the dry flies,
which are smaller than our artificial lures,
are tied TO match the insects the game is
taking and ficked on the water as lightly
as il the real thing,
In the contest there were floating hoops
If canvas al 20. 80. 40. 30 and 80 feet. The
contestant with no preliminary casts to
fix the distances tried to drop the fly as
nearly as possible to the centre of the twenty
foot buoy. The fly was then permitted
to float for a few seconds and then retrieved
as delicately as possible. being dried in the
air by false casts for the attempt at the
next buoy.
Dry fly fishing is really a still hunt and
the casting is nice work TO watch. II a
hy fell within one foot Of a buoy the cast
was a bulls eye, but there was a dement,
for each foot away. Brotherton, a former
member Of the San Francisco Fly Casting
Club. and La Branche tied with hut seven
dement's each, the former winning the
castof.
Salmon casting is a test on the muscles.
for the eighteen foot rods and the long
lines take plenty of playing in the eight
minutes Of competition. r. c. Leonard,
who had the longest cast Of 1907 feet, is a
six footer and a contrast to f. j. Mills, who
