shot, Dr. Dudley scored a centre, and Holcombe caught a. 
bull. Doth men strung four more bulls, when Dudley 
again made a centre. The total score now stood Hol¬ 
combe, 180 out of a possible 180, and Dr. Dudley, 178 Out 
out of posBiblel80. Holcombe, on the thirty-seventh shot, 
his seventh of the final tie, again scored a bull’s-eye. On 
his eighth he got a centre, closing his score with two 
bull’s-eyes, making in the match 199 out of ft possible 
200. His run of thirty-seven consecutive bull’s-eyes has 
never been equalled, and it stands the best score on record.

Louisiana — New Orleans, Aug. 23.—The riflemen turned 
out in numbers to-day, taking advantage of the unusually 
fine weather, and thronged to Frogmoor, where the pop¬ 
ular Lilienthal Cup match was again contested. The at¬ 
mosphere was rather warm, but very pure, and the wind 
light and regular. The shooting consequently was ex¬ 
ceptionally good all around, especially at the 200 yards. 
The leading score, made by Renaua, stands two points 
ahead of the winning score of the last contest, and more 
than the average in all nine of the contests. The highest 
at 200 yards was made by Bercegeay, and the highest at 
500 by Renaud. 
The record stands : New Lilienthal Cup, ninth compe¬ 
tition, between individuals, under military rules; 200 
and 500 yards, five shots at each, and two sighting shots ; 
three winnings to entitle to possession of the prize. The 
first oontest was won by Bercegeay—score, 4i ; the sec¬ 
ond by Weiss—score, 39 ; the third by Arms—score, 41 ; 
the fourth by Gowland — score, 40 ; the fifth by Arms — 
score, 41; the sixth by Bercegeay—score 43; the seventh

BUFFALO YACHT CLUB. 
The Union regatta Bailed August 26th, under the au¬ 
spices of this club, proved a most successful affair, and 
too much praise cannot be awarded to the enterprising 
committee having the matter in charge, as well as the 
generous support the races received from the public. 
Only two foreign yachts put in an appearance, it is true ; 
but this is a fair* beginning, and we doubt not that the 
success of the matches will do much to induce many 
craft from other ports on the Lakes to show their fight¬ 
ing flags upon a similar occasion next year. The arrange¬ 
ments were in the hands of the Committee, Messrs. Thos. 
Kean, A. W. Austin, C. M, Cordell, Secretary B. Y. C. ; 
W. E. Riggs, Treasurer B. Y. C. ; O. L. Bryant, Ed. E. 
Benedict, J. I. Williams, and E. D. Berry; and the steam¬ 
ers Pearl and R. O’, Stewart were tendered for the use of 
the referee and judges. Race open to all yachts; two 
classes; first, from 35 to 65 feet length ; second, from 25 
to 35 feet. Entrance fee, $10 and $5 respectively. Two 
prizes in first class, $150 and $50; and three in second 
class, $100, $50, and $25. Shifting ballast not allowed 
under any circumstances. A champion pennant was also 
awarded to first yacht of first class, the holder subject to 
a challenge therefor from any first-class yaoth upon pay¬ 
ment of $25, race to be sailed inside of thirty day's. Not 
more than three challenges in a year need be accepted by 
the holder ; season from May 1st to September 1st. Same 
rules to hold good as for the Union regatta. In the races 
of August 26th a novel feature was adopted, the yachts 
being started separately' a t the blast of a whistle at inter¬ 
vals equal to their time allowance. This method we can 
hardly commend, as it must interfere much with the in¬ 
terest of the race and does not give all hands the same 
wind and tide. A flying start we think preferable, and 
more imposing and attractive to the general public. The 
course was for first class: Starting from Government 
breakwater, thirteen and one-half miles west-southwest 
to a stakeboat, and return to place of starting. Distance, 
27 miles. Time of race six hours. For second class : 
Starting from same line as first-class yachts, Six and one- 
half mues west by south to stake boat, and thence south¬ 
east by east seven miles to second stake boat. Distance, 
20 miles. Time of race five hours. 
Time allowance, according to rules of Buffalo Y. C,, 
based on area in first class and on mean length in second, 
14m, to the foot. The wind was rather light and Varia¬ 
ble from N. W., and a little more of the needful would 
have contributed to a more exciting match. It is need¬ 
less to say that the fleet of excursion steamers which ac¬ 
companied the races was crowded to its utmost with the 
best citizens of the good city of Buffalo. Entries in first 
class :

Hattie was sent away first in her class, being the small¬ 
est of the lot, at 2.18, Gann et followed at 2.25,48, Cygnet 
at 2.29.54, and the visitor from Detroit one minute later. 
All carried gaff-topsails, but there was hardly wind 
enough for the Ives, but with a good 6treak of it at the 
the start she began to walk up on the home craft in a 
way which showed that in a breeze she would be a for¬ 
midable competitor. She rapidly dropped Cygnet and 
was hot after Hattie, while Gannet, “the police boat,” 
lead the circus. But Ives got away with Hattie and 
was running Gannet close, A luffing match ensued, but 
tlie Buffalo “peace-makers,” being up to snuff, would not 
let the Detroiter take their wind, but edged him up under 
the lee of theland ; then putting helm up, were off again, 
with the Ives left in a flat cahn under shore. Score one 
for the gallant Capt. Gilroy. Meanwhile the rest of the 
fleet had a chance to close up near the turn. On the 
wind Gannet did not show a good luff. Cygnet doing 
better. The wind fell light and the race was devoid of 
further interest, the finish being made as follows, Hattie's 
time not taken: 
Cygnet, 4h. 42m. 47s.; Ives, 4h, 51m. 52s., and Gannet, 
4h. 57rn. 49s. A protest has been lodged by Gannet, 
claiming not to have received correct time allowance. 
Until decided tlio prizes will not be awarded.

fiawn and Flora failed to como to the line, The rest 
ting away from her rival. Arrow held her lead, Fleet¬ 
wing was smartly handled, and Corsair suffered from 
poorly setting sails. The wind became variable, and 
fluking came into play. Arrow fetched the second mark, 
making a wide hit of’it. Fleetwing followed half a mile 
in her wake and a quarter-mile ahead of Corsair. At the 
mark Curlew cut the latter out and went into third place. 
Petrel and Chiqvita were sailing a stern race, but the 
latter improved on the beat in and saved herself being

Arrow, Fleetwing and Curlew take the purses. A ban¬ 
quet was given by the Buffalo Y. C. in the evening, at 
which the bright future of yachting on Lake Erie formed 
one chief topic of discourse, and toasts were drank to the 
visiting yachtsmen. During the race Chiquita carried 
away her topmast and lost her topsail, whioh muBt be 
taken into account when considering her performance. 
Charlotte (N. Y.) Regatta,— Charlotte, N. Y., Aug. 
21st.—Editor Forest and Steam; — The regatta here which 
commenced yesterday, drew together a very large assem¬ 
blage of people, probably 10,000 witnessing the first day’s 
sport. The published programme was departed from, 
somewhat, and the following order was observed. The 
yacht race was sailed first: open to first class yachts of 
nine tons and over; course, 12 miles ; prizes ; 1st, $65 ; 
2d. $45 ; 8d, $20. Judges : J,!T. Graham, J. G. Crane and 
P. Keon. Time-keeper ; P. McAuliffe. The contestants, 
Ella, of Oswego and Ida, of Charlotte, started at 3:36:30 
and 3:37 respectively. They kept well together over the 
entire course and passed the home buoy in 6h. 14m. and 
(ih. 14m. 18}s.; (lie Ida winning by 111 seconds on time, 
besides having an allowance of 1 minute and 30 seconds 
for tonnage. Then followed the amateur scull race: 
course, 2 miles with one turn. Entrees: Burt Brown, 
Geneva, George Adell and .John Crouse, of Auburn. 
Brown took the lead and won easily in 15m. 30s,; Adell 
coming in 15m, 38s. and Crouse 16m. Is. Next the pro¬ 
fessional scull race : course, 3 miles with a turn. Entries: 
Charles E, Courtney and Frencliy Johnson. The latter 
took the lead by a short distance, pulling 34 strokes to 
a minute followed by Courtney at his clock-work pull of 
28 strokes. When nearing the end, Johnson made quite 
a spurt, but Courtney increased his speed with very little 
outward exertion ana passed the flag in 21m. 05s.; John¬ 
son, 21m. 051s. Rather slow time. 
The second day was again started with a yacht race 
open to yachts under nine tons ;* course, 12 m il e s ; prizes, 
$40, $20 and $10. Judges, same as previous day. Time¬ 
keeper : W. A. Stace. Referee: Capt. C. J. Hubbell. 
The Florence, of Sodus; Mystery, of Kingston, Ont.; Fio- 
nia, of Whitby, Ont.; Phcenix, of Rochester ; and Rosalie, 
Charlotte, started. A very light wind made an exceed¬ 
ingly slow and uninteresting sail. The Florence took first 
money in 3h. 52m., followed by Mystery and Fionia. 
Then followed the amateur single scull row, for the cham¬ 
pionship of the. Genesee. Richard Gallagher, of Rochester 
and John Sexton, of Charlotte entered, hut the former 
refusing to row. Sexton accompanied by John Crouse, of 
Auburn, rowed over the course, one mile and return. 
Time: Sexton, 17m. 20s.; Crouse, 17m. 23s. 
The canoe race, an interesting feature, was over a half 
mile and return. Prize : badge. Four crews, composed 
of A. E. Durable and Wahaslikia, an Indian, B. S. Abrams 
and J. F. Teibel, J. Delaney and George Stevenson, R. M. 
Moore and S. Moore, entered and made the following 
time respectively: 10m. 07s., 10m. 10s., 10m. 22s. and 
10m. 49s. 
The exhibition row between Courtney, Johnson and 
Brown over one mile and return, resulted in a dead heat. 
Time: 16m. 38s. A race for four-oared boats fin¬ 
ished the day. Course : one mile and return. The On- 
tarios, of Charlotte, and Genesees of Rochester, entered, 
but the latter declining to row, the Ontarios went over the 
course alone in 16m. 10)s. AMphjon.

ROYAL NOVA SCOTIA YACHT SQUADRON, 
Saturday, Aug, 28(1, was cahn and foggy. By mid day 
a strong breeze sprang up, and when the preparatory 
signal was made at 1.15 p. m., it was blowing a hard 
breeze of wind from the southwest, with a heav y break¬ 
ing sea. The course was from the Lumber Yard round 
Mar’s Rock and Thrum Cap buoys and baok, leaving the 
buoys to port. The first yacht in saving her time to take 
the Mayor’s Prize ; second yacht saving her time to take 
prize in her class, and third and fourth yachts of differ¬ 
ent classes to take third and fourth prizes. Seafoam waa 
made a hot favorite for first place. The crack Hebe was 
to show what she could do in hard weather, and the con¬ 
test between her and the Petrel was watched with atten¬ 
tion. Hebe sailed a splendid race with Seafoam. Petrel was 
unable to make the first mark, and could not look at the 
wind or sea, hauling down her racing flag, and running 
home from Mar’s Rock. Psyche sailed a game race, and 
but for the mistake of setting a flying jib on the inn 
home, would have finished close to the leaders. Seaf< < m 
had her day at last, and won the Mayor’s Prize hand¬ 
somely. The sea was particularly nasty and heavy, and 
Hebe found it necessary to close reef off York, and off the 
Rock missed stays, being caught each time by big seas 
and foul puffs. ‘ The little three-ton centreboard Arnona 
made a game attempt to sail the race, but was worsted, 
and had to give np, as also did Edith, their skippers ex¬ 
hibiting therein much wisdom, Muta started, and beat
