DETROIT, June 14.— The Terra Cotta Club, a recent organization 

 are having bi-monthly shoots for a medal, to become the personal 

 property of any member winning it three consecutive times. The 

 first shoot was won by Win. H. W. Avery, who broke 19 out of 20 

 clay-pigeons. Mr. A. E. Brush won second, scoring It; out of 20. The 

 third snoot takes place next Thursday at Monroe, Mich., whither the 

 club proceed upon the invitation of Hon. Harry A. Conant, Secretary 

 of Stale, whose guest the club <vill be. The trip to Monroe will b*e 

 made on Mr. Brush's elegant steam yacht Lillie. There are several 

 crack shots yet to be heard from on the medal question, notably Mr. 

 Geo. E. Avery, and young Mr. Gaylord. The latter shoots in fine 

 form. He has not participated in the last two meetings, but is now 

 on deck. - Delta. 



SAN FRANCISCO, Gal., June 8.— The much talked of match be- 

 tween Fay and Burbank. for $100 aside, at 50 single birds, 20vds. rise, 

 and 80 fall, was finally settled at the Oakland race track to-day. The 

 day was a won disagreeable one, there being a nasty, soaking rain 

 all day, which not only made it bad for the visitors, but also prevented 

 the birds from flying. The confidence displayed by Fay's friends in 

 his capability of winning the present match was chiefly based upon a 

 fine practice score he had made at San Bruno on Friday last, when 

 he killed 40 out of 43 fast, strong buds. Slade acted as referee, and 

 the veteran Rice pulled the traps. The following was the score:

MERIDIAN", Miss.— A tournament has been arranged to take place 

 here on June 17, 18 and 19. The various matches are open to the 

 world, and will be shot under the auspices of the Meridian Gun Club, 

 under standard rules. A full aiteudance will be on hand, principally 

 rural shots from the surrounding count: >-y, with delegations from 

 Selma, Montgomery, Mobile, and from New Orleans. On the first 

 day there will be two matches at live pigeons, one at chimney swal- 

 lows, one at clay-pigeons aud one at glass balls. On the second and 

 third days the erratic bat will be substituted, and the majority of the 

 boys will get "left" while trying to draw a killing "bead." No such 

 shooting has ever been done on bats as right here at home by mem- 

 bers of the Louisiana Gnu Club, who ought to put in an appearance 

 at Meridian and show the boys how to kill bats 



NEW ORLEANS.— Mr. Scooler, the jeweler, has donated a hand- 

 some silver bat, to be contested for in a series n.f two matches at. the 

 erratic "leather wing." The first to take place on Wednesday even- 

 ing, June 18, an I the second on tne 35th, on Marengo street, back 

 from St, Cnarles, shooting to be under ru^es of the Louisiana Gun 



Club, at handicap distances, from 20 to 25 yards, 20 bats (10 doubles) 

 to be shot at in each match, and highest total score iu both matches 

 to fake the handsome and very appropriate prize. Matches are open 

 to all comers, and no entrance fee will be charged.

CONNECTICUT RIVER MEET, MAY 30. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The second annual meet of the Hartford and Springfield eanoe clubs, 

 held at Calla Shasta Grove, six miles south of this city, May 30, 31 

 and June 1, 1884, was in every sense of the word a success. Thursday 

 night three S. C. C. men and a cook went into camp, but in the morn- 

 ing we found an intruder occupying considerable room and, generally 

 speaking, a perfect nuisance, by name Jack Frost. 



Friday, at D A. M., we. saw our guests, the H. C. C, sailing before a 

 stong northwest wind, coming under the south end bridge, making a 

 beautiful picture. Nothing unusual in the trip, except an upset, 

 which was promptly attended to. Breakfast was served and from 

 this time until sundown members of each club were arriving at camp 

 until our shore was lined with thirty-five canoes, a fan- showing for 

 two clubs. 



The camp photographer was early at work and many fine views ob- 

 tained, especially the "first breakfast." Dinner having been dis 

 posed of the national game of base ball was set in the field, with 

 very damaging results to some. 



Owing to the strong northwest wind sailing races w T ere postponed, 

 and at 6:30 P. M. the paddling race was contested, five men from each 

 club entering. At the finish. Messrs. G. L. Pratt and Paul Knappe, of 

 the S. C. C. were declared winners of first and second prizes. It was 

 none the less interesting to see Commodore Jones trying to defeat 

 Yice-Conimodore Hubbell, both H. C. C. men, for third place; but it 

 was a cold day for the Commodore. 



After supper, a regular old-fashioned camp-fire was held, around 

 which a jolly crew of canoeists told stories, joined in a grand chorus, 

 related their varied experience in canoeing matters, listened to the 

 banjo conceit by members of H. C. C, which was first-class, enjoyed 

 every moment until the long hours closed in and good-night was 

 sounded. 



Saturday morning early the campers were up and preparing for the 

 day's sport. First the cook favored us with hot beef tea: later a 

 breakfast was served— coffee, oatmeal, potatoes, beefsteak, mutton 

 chops, ham and eggs, etc. Then another game of base ball, at which 

 lawyer Clark, of Hartford, astonished the natives with his scientific 

 pitching, so that one, two, three and out was in perpetual order. 

 Next came trials of speed— running, jumping, hop, skip and jump, 

 throwing the weight, vaulting and general gymnastics. We must 

 confess that Hartford is about one foot ahead. At 10 A. M. twenty 

 canoes set sail for Springfield and enjoyed an hour in the city. 



After then return and dinner served, the wind had dropped to 

 southwest, coming up river a perfect gale; light canoes were soon 

 ashore. Then Hartford sent out one of her men, only to he fohowed 

 by an S. C. C. man to pick him up. Then an S. C. C. man viewed the 

 bottom of his canoe until rescued. On account of the fury of the 



tale, all sailing races were postponed, and Com. Jones presented with 

 rst sailing prize. 



At evening we were busy with our large craft bringing in men from 

 the. opposite shore, who came from Hartford by train to remain in 

 camp over Sunday. A large company sat at table and enjoyed a 

 hearty meal. Then camp-fire again, and canoeing in all manner of 

 shapes was talked over. Considerable interest was manifested in 

 the annual meet of the A. C. A. at Grindstone Island, and we hope to 

 forward ten men from each club. Then three cheers were given for 

 the second annual meet and for the success that has come from the 

 original local meet in '83 by the same clubs, which has met with 

 universal favor throughout the United States. 



The Hartford men have made rapid progress in the management 

 and equipment of canoes, are thoroughly interested in the sport, 

 make a ran every Saturday afternoon and camp until the following 

 Monday morning. For this Com. Jones should receive all praise; his 

 energy and enthusiasm has been adopted by his club. A Hartford 

 man retired after otuers in the same tent. He was talKative, 

 you know how that is, his bedfellow was sleepy and did not enjoy the 

 story, so he made his wide a wane partner a lemonade, adding a few- 

 drops of chloroform— really you can't imagine how quiet that tent 

 was in less than five minutes. Good scheme boys, book it. 



Among those who ai rived this P. M. was the famous Hartford pho- 

 tographer, Mr. Charles F. Stewart, and assistant, Mr. Graham. They 

 brought a canoe camera, the plate-holder of which is 26x32m., and 

 the camera— well, it would make a first-class Clyde tent. He proposes 

 to take in the camp, ele., if it's possible. 



We had all kinds aud models of canoes. One Racine (which is for 

 sale), a large number of Eushtou, Stephens, Eversou, Joyners and 

 other makers. There were St. Pauls, Shadows, St. Lawrence, Rob 

 Roy, Clyde, Stella Maris, Grayling, Springfield, Ellard, Princess, 

 double cruisers, and last, but not least, a Rushton sneakbox, which 

 did not outsail any canoe that we know of. 



This afternoon we received a call from two canoeists, one of the N. 

 Y. C. C, the other a K. C. C, who had been to Springfield in their 

 double canoe and were homeward bound. Sunday A.M. opened up 

 fine as silk; warm, pleasant and agreeable to all bauds. After break- 

 fast Mr. Stewart erected his double-decked, fore-and-aft, three story 

 camera, mounted a ladder at the back door, and had hard work 

 getting the focus of Mount Tom. twenty miles away. This having 

 been accomplished, we were "sot" in position, and natter ourselves 

 we formed a pretty fair picture. 



Camp was lively all day, until the latter part of dinner, that solemn 

 hour glides silently in every encampment when the time for saying 

 good-bye arrives. It was then the fun was over and we all realized 

 that the best of friends must part. Lawyer Clark, in a lively speech, 

 congratulated the S. C. C. on their entertainment:, and promised them 

 a "bang up" time in the fall. The S. C. C. responded through the 



N' 



Commodore of the A. C. A. who can vouch for the hospitality enjoyed 

 at the hand* of the H. C. C. 



At 3 P. M. the fleet started for Hartford. The almost deserted 

 camp was soon made lively by arrival of friends overland from 

 Springfield, and they were favored with a regulation camp lire. Mon- 

 day, A. M., the S. C. C, broke camp, returned home only to find the 

 shore side of their canoe house three feet out of water on the river 

 bank. 



Several hours' work with jacks and timbers placed her safely in the 

 water. The thorough method of its construction proved 'itself a 

 valuable investment in tLis case, for it withstood the terrible strain 

 and is in good condition. Now prepare for the August meet of the 

 A. C. A. at Grindstone Island, Aug. 1 to 15. Everybody on deck.

KNICKERBOCKER C. C. REGATTA. 



O day could have been more admirably adapted for this occasion 

 than Saturday last. The sun shone brilliantly, but there was a 

 cool, invigorating vitality in the air that is as rare as it is delightful 

 at this advanced season of the year. The neighborhood of the club 

 house, always attractive, was at its best, and there are few more 

 charming spots ou the Hudson. To the north lies the boldly-jutting 

 point crowned by the mouldering ramparts of Fort Washington; ex- 

 actly opposite, the gray, spectral Palisades keep their eternal watch 

 and ward; lower down are rhe picturesque bluffs and shaggy wood- 

 lauds of Fort Lee, while the eastern bank is dotted with villas whose 

 greensward creeps down almost to the water's edge. Through the 

 midst 



• " The river nobly foams and flows, 



The charm of this enchanted ground," 

 winding its stately way from storm-swept mountain, quiet islet and 

 rippling brook to the great unrestful city that seethes and labors at 

 its mouth. 



That river was ruffled by fierce but intermittent blasts from the 

 northeast. Close inshore it was in comparative calm, alternately 

 blackened by passing catspaws and gilded by the sun. but out in the 

 middle the surface was constantly torn and whitened by the gusts, 

 and along the further shore the white caps tipped angry, 'formidable 

 seas. 



Long before the appointed hour the river was dotted by canoes 

 driven sturdily along by the paddle or wheeling in graceful curves 

 beneath their snowy sails and the tiny flags that burnt in vivid tongues 

 of color at their mastheads, each little craft experimenting in the 

 varying and complex problem of wind, tide and current before its 

 anxious captain. 



A large number of spectators watched the races from their car- 

 riages or from the end of the adjacent pier. Here the resources of 

 the club house were taxed to the utmost to provide camp chairs 

 whence "ladies' eyes rained influence" on the contestants. ± hearty 

 welcome was extended bv the K. C. C. to a representation of the Nep- 

 tune Club, of Newark; to Messrs. Childs and Root, of eenterboard 

 fame; Mr. L. W. Seavey, of the Kit Eat Club, and other well-known 

 canoeists. 



The first race of one mile paddling was called at at 3:30 by Mr. E. A. 

 Hoffman, who officiated as clerk of the course in the unavoidable ab- 

 sence of Mr. C. G. King. It was hotly contested, Messrs. Greenleaf 

 and Griffin coming in ahead of their respective classes. 



When the sailing race for Classes A and B was announced, the wind, 

 with the historic perversity of regatta weather, was hauling round to 

 the south, and seemed to blow in sharp, fitful puffs from every quar- 

 ter of the known world. The course was laid to windward and return. 

 and seven canoes started, presenting almost everv diversity of build 

 and rig, from the Shadow to the Racine and from' the balance lug to 

 the leg-of-mutton. The race was a pretty one, the two rival Netties, 

 sailed respectively by W. L. Green aud E. Fowler, crossing the home 

 line considerably in advance of their competitors. 



In consequence of the lateness of the horn* the combined paddling 

 and sailing race was omitted. There were three entries for the 

 tandem race, which was won. after and exciting mile dash, by Messrs. 

 Greenleaf and Green. Subjoined are full particulars, with corrected 

 time-

 enough to tear the meat and allow the juices to escape. Wipe a grid- 

 iron clean, heat it well over a bed of coals, and then put in the steak. 

 Turn often, and if the drippings escaping into the fire cause the lat ter 

 to blaze or smoke, withdraw the gridiron for a moment. Season, 

 after it is done, with pepper and salt, aud if a gravy is desired put. a 

 half teaspoonful of salt, half as much pepuer. and a piece of butter 

 or fat as large as a duck's egg into a hot dish, and add two table- 

 spoonsful of boiling water. Pour it over the steak slowly, so that 

 every part of the latter will be moistened. 



Broiling in a Frying-pan.— Broiling can be done as well with a fry- 

 ing-pan as with a gridiron, and all the juices are preserved. Heat 

 the empiy pan very hot first, then put iu the meat to be broiled, cover 

 over with a tin plate, and turn tne meat often in the pan. 



Boiled Meat.— Put the meat into enough boiling water so that the 

 former will be a little more than cove) ed. Cover the pot and boil till 

 cooked, which will take about fifteen minutes for every pound of 

 meat. Skim constantly while boiling, and turn the meat several 

 times. Replenish when necessary with boiling water. One teaspoon- 

 ful of salt for each five pounds of meat should be put into the pot a 

 short time before the meat is done. If there is a layer of fat on top 

 after the meat is cold, remove it. Beef or venison fat may be used 

 tor frying. 



Baked Deer's Head.— Build a fire in a hole iu the ground. When 

 it has burned to a good bed of coals put in the deer's head, neck 

 downward, with the skin on but the eyes and brains removed . Cover 

 with green grass or leaves, coals aud earth, and build a new fire ou 

 top of all. In about Six hours exhume the head, remove the skin, 

 and the baking is complete. This method of baking applies as well 

 to the head of any animal. 



Fried Salt Pork {or Bacon).— Good salt pork is smooth and dry. 

 Damp, clammy pork is unwholesome. Slice thin, put in frying-pan 

 with cold water enough to cover, let it come to a boil and boil two or 

 three minutes; then turn off the water and fry brown on both sides; 

 or, soak one hour in cold water then roll iu bread or cracker crumbs 

 and fry with a little butter or lard in the pan. 



Broiled Salt Pork.— Slice thin, and broil same as steak on a gridiron 

 or on the end of a green switch held over the coals, using extra care 

 that the smoke and flame, from the drippings do not reach the pork. 



Boiled Pork.— Soak over night in cold water and put into a pot of 

 cold water over the fire when the boding begins. Boil same as other 

 meat and save the cake, of fat that rises when it is cold for frying 

 puiposes. Turnips, cabbage, potatoes and greens are good boiled 

 with pork. (See table, for boiling vegetables in u future paper). 



Baked Fork and Beams.— A. camping friend of mine takes two nights 

 and a day to bake pork and beans, and as his beat any "Boston 

 Waked beans" that were ever canned, I give his method. In the 

 evening he picks over, say, two quarts of beans, washes them, and 

 soaks Them in cold water until the next, morning. Then he parboils 

 three pounds of salt pork and cuts it into thin slices. The soaked 

 beans are drained and put into a pot with enough cold water to cover 

 them and a teaspoonful of soda, the pot is covered, and they are 

 boiled briskly for a quarter of an hour, the scum being removed as it 

 rises. Then 'the water is poured off, fies-h boiling wafer is put in ihe 

 pot, and they ai e boiled with the cover ou till tender. This is the time 

 when I get tired and hungry, and eat the beans and pork without 

 baking, but my frirnd digs a hole and builds a fire iu it. as for all 

 camp baking, puts one-balf the beans into the bake kettle (or bake
