Massachusetts— Boston, March 27(?t. — The competition in 

 Everybody's Match took place to-day at Walnut Hill. The at- 

 tendance was large, there being 105 entries. The morning opened 

 lair, the sun shining at intervals, and a thin haze produced a per- 

 fect light, which presaged large scores. The wind at the opening 

 of the match indicated Upon the wind dial 6 o'clock, decidedly 

 "fish-tall" in its character and easily controlled. In the early 

 part of the afternoon the sky became entirely overcast, which 

 produced a peculiar and pleasing light. The wind changed and 

 became somewhat intensified in its velocity, but it was easily 

 handled by the riflemen, and big scores were the result, notwith- 

 standing a brisk snow storm which set in and affected sighting, as 

 tho cool atmosphere did elevations. All the marksmen were 

 shooting in good form and seemed to control the changes with- 

 out difficulty. Capt. Jackson was in the best trim, and sent 10 

 bullets into the eight-inch bull, making afull score with his sport- 

 ing rifle, which has been made before only (with this arm) by Far- 

 row and Sumner. Continuing in his re-entrees, he made 17 con- 

 eoutive bull's-eyes, the largest number ever made in a match at 

 ■Walnut. Hill. With this achievement, and his four full handicap 

 scores with a military rifle, he stands at the head of all comers in 

 this match. Mr. Sumner, the reliable, made the best 49 possible, 

 starting in with a center and winding up with nine bull's-eyes. 

 Mr. Cram, from the Kennebunk Sporting Club, Maine, did good 

 shooting, and proved himself a capital shot, finding 47. Tho sum- 

 mary will show the best shooting of the season p-

AN EASTERN BRANCH OF THE N. Y. A. 



Salem, Mass., March 33d. 



THE convention for organizing the National Yachting Associa- 

 tion, which met in New York City, March 3d, 18S0, resolved 

 that the United States be apportioned into uistric ,111 depart- 

 ments, in which the yacht clubs belonging 1 hereto should have 

 control of the National Union Regatlas held in such district b 

 respectively. 



The carrying out '.if this plan necessitates the formation of 

 associations in each district of yacht clubs therein to secure united 

 action in the management of such union regattas, and such aux- 

 iliary associations will greatly aid in securing the objects of the 

 National Association. 



The territory comprised between Eastport, Me., and Cape Cod 

 was, by the resolution in the National Yachting Association Con- 

 vention, assigned as ono department. The olubs belonging to the 

 National Association in that department up to the present time 

 are the Portland Yacht Club of Portland, Me., and the Salem Bay 

 Yacht Club of Salem, Mass. 



The undersigned, delegates of these clubs, by and with the ap- 

 proval of the clubs, respectfully beg leave to bring to your notice 

 the proceedings of the National Yachting Association Conven- 

 tion as set forth in the report of the Secretary and the copy of 

 the constitution herewith inclosed. 



And we hereby cordially invite you to unite with us in organiz- 

 ing an auxiliary association lor our department of the country, 

 and to unite with the National Yachting Association to carry out 

 the purposes of that organization. 



Tho purposes of such auxiliary organization will be the same, 

 viz.:- 



1. A more intimate acquaintance of yacht clubs with each other. 



2. Uniform sailing regulations and rules to be adopted for the 

 general use of yachts and yacht clubs at their option. 



3. Aiding In the collection of correct lists of members of yacht, 

 clubs and their yachts, together with dlaieusious and description 

 and a correct and official collection of records. 



4. The best and most suitable method of classification and time 

 allowance. 



5. Superintending the conduct of national union regattas in this 

 department, and the granting of official certificates to the owners 

 of yachts winning prizes in such regattas, when sailed under tho 

 rules of the National Yachting Association. 



6. The establishing of prizes for competitors in seamanship who 

 enter their yachts to compete for such prizes under the rules ot 

 the National Association. 



ft will be perceived from the above that the advantages of the 

 National Association, as felt through the auxiliary organization 

 proposed in this department, are great, aud will be of permanent 

 benefit to all yacht clubs uniting in the movement here. 



A regatta of the National Yachting Association will be held by 

 the clubs belonging thereto at some time during the coming season 

 In this department, at which prizes will be offered for competing 

 yachts worthy of the occasion. 



We have no desire, however, to confine the competition for 

 those prizes to the Portland Yacht Club and the Salem Bay Yacht 

 Club, or to confine the benefits of the National and Auxiliary 

 Yachting Associations in this department to those olubs. 



nu may unite with us 

 jonveuriou to be held 

 D. 1880, at 7.30 o'clock 

 iliary National Yacht- 

 ;, and take part in the

We therefore respectfully

j ! .. 11 ; - seen that the joining of this or the National Associa- 

 1 Ion liy any yacht club does not impose upon it tho nocessity of 

 adopting tho National rules and regulations upon all occasions, 



11 regattas Of the club, but only m such as the club may 



decide upon. It is hoped and intended that the rules of the Na- 

 tional Yachting Association will be such as to commend them- 

 selves by their fairness and equality, and thus insure Ihcir adop- 

 tion by the respective clubs. It is hopeless to attempt by any 

 mere local association to accomplish these benefits unless it is con- 

 nected wbli a national association of permanent character, be- 

 cause such independent local association must be of temporary 

 duration, and It can provide no independent tribunal of appeal to 

 which disputed questions may be referred and the decision bo 

 universally acquiesced in. 



On the other hand, the rules of the National Association will be 



such as to encou 

 and its Executivi 

 mand the respect

 cannot be suspeoted of 



eamanship and sea-worthy yachts, 

 tt.ee as a tribunal of appeal will eom- 

 ifldenca of yachtsmen universally, bo- 

 niire yachting fraternity, its decisions 

 ,y partiality from local prejudices. 

 A call has been published iu the newspapers from the Dorches- 

 ter Yacht Club looking to a local organization for obtain] 

 of the bouciiis above mentioned, but as neither the Salem Bay 

 Yacht Club nor the Portland Yacht Club have been included in 

 the call by receiving a copy of the same, or in any other way, we 

 cannot respond to such call, and we believe its limits too circum- 

 scribed and its purposes less definite than "those of the National 

 organization, or of an auxiliary association connected w 1 1 h if. 



It is perfectly practicable, however, to unite these movements, 

 since, so far as published, their purposes are identical. Will you 



favor us with a report of the action of your club upon 



ter, and greatly oblige? 



Communications should be addressed to George W. Mansfield, 

 Assistant Secretary of National YTachting Association, Salem, 

 Mass. We have the honor to subscribe ourselves.
