NATIONAL GUN ASSOCIATION.— The following letter was 

 written in answer to one fronta target manufacturer, complaining 

 of the bad treatment of the National Gun Association as a subscriber 

 to the stock of the Association.— Macon, Ga., June 18, 1886.— 



Mr. Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the 15th, to Secretary Elh- 



ridgc, I would call your attention to the fact that the Association in 

 all applications for tournaments under its auspices by any ol its meni- 

 bers,h;tsnot the authority nor will it undertake to dictate to the club 

 organizing such tournaments, their programme, except in the use Ol 

 inanimate targets, the manufacturers of which are not stockholders. 

 This is the only authority the Association can or will assume. Any 

 dictation beyond this would be manifestly unjust, and presumptuous 

 to the gentlemen arranging these tournaments. They arc supposed 

 to know what will be attractive and entertaining to 'those thoy ex- 

 pect to attend, and most advantageous to themselves. The Associa- 

 tion cannot and will not champion any special target, hut will leave 

 Its members to select for themselves, alter placing at their disposal 

 all targets of such manufacturers as have complied with the require- 

 ments of the Association, to wit: to subscribe to twenty shares of 

 stock payable in their targets at jobbers' prices. Under the present 

 management the Association has faithfully carried out this contract 

 with all such target manufacturers, your statement to the contrary 

 notwithstanding. Your targets have been on the ground and in the 

 hands ol the managers of every tournament under the auspices of 

 the Association since you became a member as a target manufac- 

 turer, and such wilt be the case with every manufacturer who does 

 subscribe. "S our charge "that your interest has not been unbiasedly 

 looked alter" is without foundation and untrue, as the facts above 

 stated will show. We have something over five hundred of your 

 targets on hand, but if you have improved them as you state, and 

 will finish your subscription by sending them to the Association, we 

 wid hold the old ones subject to your orders and send out the new 

 ones. I do not question your assertion "that you have done consid- 

 able for the Association," and would like you to continue in the 

 good work, but cannot accept your proposition to pay for goods sent 

 out as a stock subscription, and allow you to return the stock. We 

 prefer a full compliance of the contract on your part, as we have on 

 ours. Respectfully, Matt R. Freeman, Vico-Pres. and Gen. Mgr.,

THE JUNE REGATTAS AT NEW YORK. 



'X^HE^promised competition of the four new boats has given a special 

 X. klcerest to regatta week this year, it being generally expected 

 that they would make their first trial at that time, as they have done. 

 After seeing the three contests, unsatisfactory as they were, it is im- 

 possible to look back even a very few years at the regattas without 

 feeling very strongly how much yachting has been advanced, and 

 how very far the cracks of to-day are from the old time favorites of 

 a few years since. Several of the latter here sailed during the past 

 week without attracting any special notice, nor was there any reason 

 from their appearance or performance why they should. A new 

 order prevails, a new standard of size and beauty, and their day is 

 over, 



Of course the chief interest centers in the large single-stickers, 

 while the large schooners, especially in the East, claim a part of it. 

 The 70ft. class is small this year, Bedouin and the rebuilt Gracie being 

 the chief competitors. Bedouin has had a new mast since last season, 

 a much needed improvement, her copper has been partly renewed, 

 and, like Galatea, she carries a lighter boom and laced mainsail. Her 

 performance has certainly been far above that of '85 and more like 

 the previous year, when she swept the field. The race she sailed on 

 Thursday, though hardly noticed in the daily papers, was a wonder- 

 ful piece of work, and though she gained on Priscilla at time a 



by luck, she fairly won her place beside her by good sailing. Priscilla 

 went very fast at many times during the day, but Bedouin, 25ft. 

 shorter, was never far from her. On Saturday she fared worse with 

 the rear division, and was not in with the big ones, but taking the two 

 days, and with a liberal allowance for flukes, she has left her class, 

 Gracie, Fanny and Thetis, miles asteru. Gracie is certainly greatly 

 improved in looks, but thus far little caD bo said of her speed, as she 

 has been beaten by Thetis twice, and compared with the pack in the 

 three races has by no means done well. However, she is virtually a 

 new boat, and when in shape may justify the expense of her alter- 

 ations, though we doubt it very much. Fanny sailed a race on 

 Thursday, the first for two years, and in her wind and water only 

 served to show how easily a good cutter of 17ft. less length and less 

 than half her beam, can beat the old type of sloop in light weather. 

 Her day as a racer has passed away, and there were more of the tribe 

 in last week's races that can go on the same list. 



From the tone of the daily papers, as well as some whose judg- 

 ment should be of a little more value, one would have supposed last 

 fall that the "cutter craze" had come to an untimely end, and 

 that the voice of the "cutter fiend" would be heard no more in the 

 land, while an era of so-called American boats would follow. Leaving 

 out the four big boats, all cutter rigged, and three with lead keels, 

 it still seems as though the cutter was a pretty lively corpse, and apt 

 to give.troubl e yet to some of the volunteer mourners who wept 

 crocodile tears over Genesta's last race. 



Certainly Bedouin has opened the season with a boom in her class, 

 outsailing it so far that times are hardly worth taking. She was 

 simply ahead, the rest nowhere, while she played with all but Pris- 

 cilla on Thursday. This is a good deal, but not all nor half of it. 

 What she has done speaks in a measure for beam, but there is a 

 narrow boat still to be heard from, one of the narrowest of her 

 kind. Undoubtedly the honors of last week belong to one boat, 

 though one may look in vain for any mention of it in the daily 

 papers of New Yerk nod Boston, except a few brief notices and a 

 line in the tables Of times. No big type and headlines call attention 

 to her work, but to any one who reads Uie times carefully it 

 speaks for itself, thus: 



Tuesday. Thursday. Saturday. 



Clara 7 16 37 6 32 42 7 31 19 



Thetis 7 17 55 6 47 39 .... 



Gracie 7 13 59 6 46 09 7 55 18 



Fanny 6 46 28 



Athlon .7 28 49 7 03 12 withdrew. 



Thistle 8 08 24 



Bertie Not timed 



Cinderella 7 33 19 6 49 48 7 45 35 



Vivid 8 34 36 Not timed 



Roamer 7 34 56 



Daphne 8 10 45 7 09 16 7 49 19 



Whileaway Not timed 



Regina Not timed Not timed 



These are the elapsed times, and it must be remembered that 

 Tbetis, Gracie and Fanny are from 11 to 17ft. longer and twice as 

 wide as Clara, so the corrected times would show still more in her 

 favor, while they would reduce a little the time of some of the others, 

 but the result is near enough. Here are ten sloops, among them the 

 fastest we have, aggregating 23 starts in the series of three races in 

 light weather, and beaten in even time, irrespective of size, in every 

 case but one, by the narrowest cutter we have yet had here, and in 

 this one case the cutter wins by a big margin on time allowance. 



With such an average as this there can be no claim for flukes, as 

 the chances or' the 3 days were 23 to 3 against them, but if the above 

 is not conclusive there are 2 more wins to add, that at Larchmcnt and 

 the S. C. Y. C. on May 31. Not only has Clara proved herself far and 

 away faster than any of the old boats, but she has beaten five times 

 this season, besides one scrub race not on record, the very promising 

 boat of the new centerboard keel type, Cinderella, the handsomest of 

 the class yet built. A study of the above table will show pretty con- 

 clusively that for speed the centerboard sloop must go or rather has 

 gone. It may be a very nice boat to go sailing in. with a fine large 

 cockpit and nice cabin house to sit on, but when racing is considered 

 —ana all these boa ts are or once were racers— their shortcomings are 

 too numerous and too radical to be made good by silver bottoms and 

 lead keels at the eleventh hour. Whether or no Galatea is a match 

 for the newer type remains to be seen; she has not yet fulfilled the 

 hopes of her friends this season, and is still behind Irex, but these 

 races can have little bearing on the case of Clara vs. the sloops. She 

 has beaten them all, large and small, good and bad, in their own 

 waters, and thus far has shown herself much more than a match for 

 the newest and best, Cinderella. 



Taken in detail, the work of the four large boats was neither satis- 

 factory nor conclusive, but considering the whole series of three 

 races, they may be summed up about as follows: Mayflower has 

 suffered some from causes which we note elsewhere, but she has 

 done some very fast sailing, and we look upon her as the coming one 

 of the quartette. Puritan has not been as well sailed as usual, but 

 has had the best luck of the week from flukes. In new hands she 

 will probably be below last year's form, though the boat is as good 

 as ever. Priscilla, on the contrary, has been vastly improved in hull 

 and rig, and has showu the value of such improvement, as well as of 

 her owner's care and skill in the way she has sailed in every race, 

 and bids fair to take second place this year. Atlantic thus far is 

 a failure, her shortcomings to windward being very evident, 

 and while there, is much room for improvement in her crew 

 it is doubtful whether the boat can be improved to an extent that will 

 put her on a level with the others. Her best worn has been off the 

 wind thus far, but we have not seen her in a blow, and her perform- 

 ance in the slight tumble of Tuesday near the lightship, when Priscilla 

 crossed her bows, argues badly for her speed in a seaway. She is 

 now at Mumm's fc a general alteration, lighter spars, probably a 

 shifting aft of her mast and the stopping of a serious leak in her Hull. 

 The others >vil meet on Tuesday next at Marblehead, when a better 

 opportunity for a trial will be given than has yet occurred, should 

 there be any weather, as the course is on the open sea. 



NEW YORK Y. C, JUNE 17. 

 The second great race of Regatta week was served as badly as the 

 first, as far as weather goes, while it was no more of a real test, 

 though the prizes were fairly won in spite of all fluking. With 35 en- 

 tries there were enough good boa ts in each class to make an inter- 

 esting fight, and nothing was lacking but wind. Boston was well 

 represented in the entries with five yachts, three of them the finest 

 in their class. The entries were as follows:

FOURTH CLASS SLOOPS. 



Espirito Richard B. Hartshorne 47.08 11 33 



Bedouin is entered in second class, but a remeasurement proves 

 that she is less than two inches over the class limit of 70ft. as made 

 last spring, so that she is really in the class with the big boats, 

 where she was never intended to go, but where her grand sailing all 

 day seems fairly to put ber. The matter has not been brought be- 

 fore the club yet, but will probably be settled by placing her in class 

 2, in which event she takes first prize in her class, while Priscilla 

 wins in class 1. The race was over the usual course of the N. Y. Y. 

 C, from the judges' boat, anchored off Owl's Head. Long Island 

 shore, about one-quarter of a mile south of buoy No. 18, and a mark 

 boat anchored inshore from the tugboat; thence (keeping outside of 

 Fort Lafayette) to and around buoy No. 10, passing to the west and 

 south of it; thence to buoy No. 8^, passing south Of it and north of 

 buoy No. 5, off the point of Sandy Hook, to and around Sandy Hook 

 Lightship, turning it from north and east, and then returning over 

 the same course to the westward of the home stakeboat, which will 

 be anchored abreast of and to the eastward of buoy No. 15. All 

 yachts must pass to the eastward of west bank buoys Nos. 9, 11, 13 

 and 15, both going and returning. 



In case the j udges' boat, from any cause, ia not back at the finish- 

 ing line in time to act as stakeboat, yachts will pass bet w een a stake- 

 boat flying the club flag anchored there and buoy No 1 5. 



The usual prizes were offered in each class. Espirito being the 

 only boat in the fourth class, entered the third at the minimum inea- 

 suiement to make a race. 



The morning was cool and cloudy with a S.W. wind, but by 10 A. M 

 the sun was shining. The Luckenbach was at the start at 10:40 with 

 Messrs. E. E. Chase, A. M. Cahoone and F. T. Robinson, of the re- 

 gatta committee on board. When the whistle blew at 10:50 there was 

 but a light southerly wind coining in the Narrows, whil e the tide had 

 been ebbing for a short time. Half a mile above the line was May- 

 flower, looking very handsome and hard to distinguish from Puritan, 

 half as far off to the northwest. Near the east end of the line were 

 Clara, Daphne and Gaviota, and as the whistle blew at 11 A. M. the 

 little cutter shot across, after standing along the line for some dis- 

 tance awaiting the signal. The fleet went over in two lines, one led 

 by Clara, rounding close to the stakeboat at the east end with 

 Espirito after her, while the others, headed by Thetis and Puritan, 

 came from out in the middle of the upper bay, turning short around 

 the Luckenbach and crossing on starboard tack. As Puritan went 

 over Bedouin passed between her and the tug, then Priscilla, Ghana, 

 Republic, Dauntless, Grayling and Fortuna, followed by Whileaway. 

 Mayflower and Atlantic were still above, but the latter came down 

 very close to the tug on starboard tack, while Mayflower crossed near 

 the middle of the line, near Gaviota. The times were: 



Clara 11 00 27 Fortuna 11 05 09 



Thetis 11 00 28 Whileaway 11 05 12 



Espirito 11 00 30 Regina 11 05 24

Gracie 11 04 33 Montauk ...11 08 42 



Gitana 11 04 33 Speranza 11 10 00 



Athlon 11 04 34 



Clara was first boat and began to get to windward in the light 

 breeze, with her special rival, Cinderella, J4 mile to leeward. The 

 latter soon made a cast in toward Fort Hamilton, but most of the 

 fleet went down on port tack, with a fleet of vessels of all sizes from 

 the Grand Republic and Atalanta down to the little canoe Guenn, fol- 

 lowing them. At 11:45, oif Norton's Point, Clara led, with Bedouin 

 next, both far to windward, then Thetis, Gracie and Fanny, with 

 Espirito well over to the middle of the Bay. The wind held light, 

 but it was astonishing to see Clara, off for buoy 10 and far to wind- 

 ward all the time, in fact, she stood up so far as to Jose first place at 

 the buoy to Bedouin, passing even with Priscilla on the latter's 

 weather. All but Clara were carrying jibtopsails at the buoy. All 

 passed No. 10 on port tack, luffing around buoy 8^ as follows: 



Bedouin 12 39 50 Fauny 12 50 25 



Priscilla 12 40 20 Atlantic 12 53 50 



Clara 12 41 20 Espirito 12 51 30 



Cinderella v. .... 12 43 50 Bertie 12 55 25 



Mayflower 12 44 00 Fortuna 12 56 15 



Thetis 1-2 45 05 Vivid 12 56 20 



Puritan 12 45 40 Montauk 13 57 55 



Gracie 12 47 07 Grayling 12 58 18 



Daphne 12 49 12 Whileaway .12 59 10 



Athlon 12 50 05 Gitana 1 00 30 



Gracie had to make an extra tack to weather No. 10, and Puritan 

 and some others only got by through some very sharp luffing. 



At 1 .-SO all were outside in a good breeze bound for Sandy Hook 

 Lightship on the starboard tack, Bedouin and Priscilla to windward 

 and a mile ahead ef Mayflower, then Puritan, next Clara half a mile 

 astern of the latter, then Thetis, another half mile back, with Cin- 

 derella following, then Gracie, Fanny, Atlantic and Daphne. At 1 :35 

 both Cinderella and Fanny lowered their jibtopsails, Atlantic, Puri- 

 tan and Clara having theirs in before this, while Thetis and Gracie 

 held to theirs. Clara and Cinderella had also come down to work- 

 ing topsails. 



Priscilla was first at the lightship, luffing round and setting balloon- 

 jibtopsail, while Bedouin came next, with balloon foresail and bal- 

 loon jibtopsail set. The times were not taken accurately, as the tug 

 ran in with the leaders, but were approximately as follows: 



Priscilla 1 39 30 Puritan A 55 00 



Bedouin 1 42 45 Atlantic 1 59 50 



Mayflower 1 50 00 Clara 2 04 00 



When the leaders were off the Scotland a heavy rain squall struck 

 them from N. W., but Priscilla held on to her canvas and stood on 

 through it, finally lowering clubtopsail, while Bedouin took in bal- 

 loon foresail. At 2:10 a calm followed, Priscilla feeling it first and 

 lying idly off the Hook, while Bedouin still worked up with a little wind. 

 Both now stood over to .the east on port tack, sailing very slowly , 

 while the rain hid all the others. Mayflower had heen seen to take 

 in her kites when the squall struck. It was 3:40 when Priscilla passed 

 in by the Hook on starboard tack, with clubtopsail and jibtopsail set, 

 and at 3:43 she went on port tack for Buoy 8^3. It was just at this 

 time that a snap forward gave notice that something had parted, 

 which proved to be due to the failure of a pin in her bobstay shackle, 

 the bobstay dropping under her forefoot. For a time nothing could 

 be done save to ease the headsails, but the bowsprit of yellow pine 

 stood the strain nobly. At last the bobstay was fished up and a 

 tackle clapped on, but no balloon jibtopsail was set. Bedouin was 

 some distance astern at the Hook, and as the others were made out 

 in her wake it was seen that the Atlantic had come to the front in 

 the squall, passing both Puritan and Mayflower. Just how it was 

 done could not be seen in the rain, but from being lOmiu. astern of 

 Mayflower at the ship she had so bettered her place in the squalls 

 and calms as to be far ahead of her at the Hook. Beside her was a 

 White yacht, soon discovered to be Puritan, while a little to leeward 

 of the latter a small triangle of hempen canvas showed up, the 

 blooming Clara again, miles ahead of her own class, and also of all 

 the class above except Bedouin. 



Up the Bay came Priscilla and Bedouin, the former with spinnaker 

 to port as she came in the Hook, but the iron boat carried no big 

 sails on her bowsprit, though a balloon jibtopsail would have helped 

 her had the bowsprit been able to carry it. She finished about 5rain. 

 ahead of Bedouin. Atlantic came up with clubtopsail, balloon jibtop- 

 sail and spinnaker all drawing, the latter stayed forward on port side, 

 with Puritan next and then Clara. The finish of the others was de- 

 void of any interest. The wind at the finish was very light from 

 S.W. Gaviota was passed down the Bay coming up in sorry guise, her 

 mainboom broken directly below tnegaff end, her mainsail badly torn 

 and starboard spreader gone. The mainsail was tied about the broken 

 boom end so that the leach was vertical, while her ensign was set on 

 the jackstaff. She came alongside the tug and entered a protest 

 against the Republic for fouling her while she was on starboard and 

 the schooner on port tacks. Fortuna wins in her class, Grayling in 

 hers, Bedouin, as we have stated, really wins in first class, with 

 Thetis in second, Clara in third, beating Cinderella 18rn. 27s. The full 

 times were:

The race was very well managed on the part of the committee, and 

 as usual with the New York club, the tug was so handled as to give 

 the best view of the race. It is becoming a serious question to those 

 who attend ah the races as to what can be done with the average 

 steamboat man, and also the "give her a toot" fiends in the clubs, 

 in the matter of whistling. Every time a boat passed a buoy, though 

 she may be last of the lot, whistles are held open and tooted in a 

 manner that is perfectly deafening, and that adds much to the con- 

 fusion and possibilities of some accident, as nothing can be heard. In
