THE DISPUTE ADJUSTED.— It is said of the late Senator Nye of 

 Nevada, that he would demolish a two hours' speech of an opponent 

 with a two minutes 1 story which could not be met with facts nor argu- 

 ment. This was well illustrated at the Exeter, N. H., Club, June 12. 

 A dispute arose whether a bird was scored or lost, and opinions 

 flowed in thick and fast. The judge was evidently lost, if the bird 

 was not, and things looked a little squally, when P. of the Worcester, 

 Mass., Club, who never gave much attention to the classics, but who 

 is fond of using big words, and withal, is a right good fellow and 

 splendid shot, rose from his seat where he was chatting with J. of the 

 Exeter Club, concerning their recent shoot at Chicago, and raising 

 his voice above the din of words exclaimed, '"Say, you fellers, don't 

 disintegrate that judge there '.'• This was too much, and while the 

 rain came down in torrents, and the '-boys" roared, the judge found 

 his bearings, and, thanks to P., everything was again lovely.— Clay- 

 Bird.

NEW ORLEANS, June 18.— This evening a number of sportsmen 

 assembled on the prairie near Marengo street, for the purpose 

 of taking part in the bat shoot for the "Scooler Trophy." The 

 attendance, would have been much larger but for the ram and wet 

 condition of the ground ; however, there was an abundance of fresh 

 breeze, and all participating in this cheap amusement found it a de- 

 lightful pastime and one worth tasing advantage of. A great deal of 

 skill was required to kill the birds, and the shooters with good scores 

 had reason to be proud of their prowess. The hat contest first took 

 place. Twenty bats were shot at iu doubles at 25yds. rise. The scores 

 made were as follows:

 shotgun day of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, and a liberal

 especially the "walk up" matches, affording the contestants ample 

 delight and satisfaction. Another especially pleasing and agreeable

 most w'holesome, charmingly rustic and picturesque playgrounds in 

 New England— particularly enjoyable to those who had the pood for- 

 tune to be there yesterday' while their less fortunate fellows were 

 sweltering in the sultry, stifling air of tfie city. Following are the

P. S. -Iu your issue of the Pith inst , you make us say in our re- 

 marks regarding shoot of the 4th inst, that, "with the exception of 

 about half an hour, the entire dav was spent eating baked beans,'' 

 which, while we frankly acknowledge to a free indulgence in that 

 luxury, was a trifle overdrawn, it being our intention to have said 

 that with the exception of about half an hour devoted to the agree- 

 able entertainment of bean eating, the remainder of the day was 

 snent in clay-bird shooting.— F.

NEW JERSEY Y. C. 



THE New Jersey Y. ft, although their fleet numbers only small 

 boats, have taken a stand on the questions of shifting ballast 

 and limited crews that puis them in I he rank of yachtsmen and 

 Cor'nthians, and the club offers greater inducements to the lovers of 

 small yachts than any similar organization about New York. While 

 their boats are still, of necessity, of the small type of centerboard 

 craft used here so long, they are so rigged and fitted as to be easily 

 handled by a small crew, and safe in case of a capsize, and should the 

 club continue in its present course, we may hope to see some day a 

 numerous fleet of sate and wholesome boats under its flag. 



Their 19th annual matches took place on the river and bay on 

 Thursday, June 19, the course being tor Classes A and B, from a line 

 off the club house, Hoboken. down past Bobbins Reef buoy, and 

 around Buoy 13 on the AVest Bank and home, finishing off the Com- 

 munipaw coal dock. Jersey City, the smaller class only going around 

 Bobbins Reef buoy, while Class C rounded Fort Lafayette. Tne 

 boats starting, all of which were sailed by their owners, were:

The propeller John Lenox having on board the judges. Meesra. T.P. 

 Rogers, T. Bretts and Geo. E. Gartland, besides members and gui 

 was ready at the line by 10:30 A. M., there being then but little wind, 

 with a warm, clear day. 



The first whistle sounded at 10:55 and the second at 11 A. M The 

 ebb tide drifted the boats down on the line in a most laughable 

 fashion, some going over crabways, others stern first, none with 

 enough wind to give steerage way. and most of them using sweeps 

 above the line, Katie was over first at 11:04, Senator, Eagle '.Ving, 

 Lottie M. following. 



They went down under the Jersey shore in a long line, booms to 

 port or starboard, what wind there was being north. Lily R leading 

 the way. As she. passed the coal docks she caught a new breeze from 

 the south, and stood down and across on port tack, each boat as it 

 reached the same point catching the breeze and following her until 

 ah were Strung m hue across the river, beating down. 



Ac noon the Bay above the Narrows was hidden by a thick smoke 

 or haze, in which the yachts were shrouded, but it soon cleared away, 

 leaving it hotter tha'u before. Lily R. was still leading in the beat 

 down. The times at Bobbin's Reef were:

Dare Devil, Meteor and Rambler rounded together and were soon 

 after the Lily, all on starboard tack, soon working short tacks down 

 the middle in a fresh breeze. At the forts il fell cairn aud continued 

 so for some time. Lily R. went off into Graveseud Bay, and after a 

 time found a breeze there, that brought her up w r ell ahead to Buoy 13 

 at 2:32:25. Dare Devil also followed the same course, though well 

 astern. 



Now came the most exciting part of the race, as Meteor came down
