ALBANY, May 18.— The first competition this season in the Capt. 

 John Daly match was shot at Rensselaerwyck yesterday afternoon. 

 Considering the threatening weather, the attendance was good and 

 the entries numerous. The match is somewhat different from or- 

 dinary matches, there, being four prizes, each of which must be won 

 three times, the smallest prize being the first, and the largest the 

 fourth. It is shot at 500 yards, with any kind of rifle, and at the or- 

 dinary military position, unlimited re-entries being allowed. The 

 match was commenced promptly at two o'clock, and from that time 

 until naif -past five the bullets were flying to the targets. Forty en- 

 tries were made, and considering the want of practice the shooting 

 was strong. Every competitor was intent on making the best possi- 

 ble record, regardless of the place he might occupy in the prize list. 

 A full score was the aim of tins marksmen, but the fates were against 

 it, and three of them had to be contented with 49 out of the possible 

 50. The following winning scores were made:

ALL IN THE MAKE. 



npHE Impression that well-setting cutter sails can only be got out! 

 JL of hemp canvas does not, seem to be tenable, judging by the fol- I 

 lowing information furnished us by McManus & Son, the principal ] 

 sailmakers of Boston : 

 Editor Forest and Stream: 



Yon have made many converts for the genuine cutter rig by your 

 persistence and arguments in favor of the fastest and safest rig 

 afloat. We notice in one of your late issues of Forest and StusuM 

 that a New York saihnaker had to import linen duck to make good 

 yacht sails, which is rather rough on our home industry the itunii- 

 Vacture of cotton duel:, acknowledged !>y the world to be the 

 closest fabric for fore and aft sails. There, is very little elasticity to 

 hard woven cotton duck; therefore it does not swell and bag in a 

 breeze: furthermore, a good sailmaker can cut any species of sail 

 out of it, includiug loose-footed mainsails, cutter jibs, etc. If our 

 cutter friends across the water have any advantage over us in speed 

 it: is not because they use linen in their sails: it i- because they have 

 a better method in cutting, better models, and extreme low weights. 



THE RETURN OF COMMON SENSE.— The sloop Vision, Messrs. 

 Alexander, N. Y. Y. O, will receive ah ut three tons of lead on the 

 keel. We note thaL a reporter, writing to a turf contemporary, does 

 not think the change appreciable, a statement which will cause, a 

 smile among yachtsmen. The most ordinary mechanical acquire- 

 ments cannot fail to comprehend the value of shifting three tons 

 from up iu the bilge to the underside of the keel. Lowering three 

 ions gome two feet or more, we take to be a very vital change, and if ' 

 we can judge by the experience of other yachts, tho Vision will not 

 fail to benefit materially by the alteration.
