Hull Y. C. Regattas. 



HULL — BOSTON HARBOR. 



July $k, 25. 26. 



The Hull Y. C. sailed a series of three open regattas on July 24, 35 

 and 26, with a large number of entries and well-filled classes, includ- 

 ing many of the best boats of the large and growing fleet about Boston 

 harbor. The races were open to all yachts of under 37ft. sailing 

 length, enrolled in an organized yacht club and regularly entered with 

 the secretary of the local Congress of Regatta Committees, which was 

 recently organized to secure harmony in the racing arrangements 

 among the clubs. The Hull Y. C. made every effort to entertain visit- 

 ing yachtsmen, and the three days' racing passed off most successfully 

 save for the lack of wind on the final day. The presence of the 30- 

 footers Salmon and Ashumet from Buzzard's Bay, the former sailed 

 by Messrs. H. J. and Ward Burton, owners of Onawa, with such boats 

 as Harbinger, Beatrice. Satanic, Gleaner and Rooster, made keen 

 racing in every class. The first race, on July 24, was sailed in a rather 

 light S.W. wind, the times being:

Revolver Shooting at the Bialey Meeting* 



London, England, July 22.— The Bisley meeting finished on July 20. 

 There was no rain all the meeting till the last day, and then it made 

 up for it by raining hard most of the day. 



The meeting was one of the most successful that has been held 

 there. There was a great deal of wind almost the whole fortnight, 

 which prevented the 50yd. revolver scores equaling those made by Mr. 

 Winans last year, when he had two consecutive scores of 41 in the 

 military and target revolver series. Still several records were broken. 

 Below are details: 



Military revolver, series 1, target moving at the rate of a slow walk 

 at 20yds. distance, 2in. bullseye: The former best on record was 41 

 out of a possible 42. Mr. Winans was leading for this with a score of 

 40 until the last day, and then finding that he needed 2 more points to 

 put him ahead for the military revolver aggregate prize (having made 

 a bad score in military series 4), began shooting again and made the 

 first highest possible ever recorded in any of the moving or disappear- 

 ing targets at Bisley. 



We inclose the full-sized diagram of the score with 7 shots on the 

 bullseye, the seventh shot being fired after he had won the competition 

 in order to make a record of as many bullseyes as he could consecu- 

 tively; his eighth shot was a 6, so he stopped shooting. The bullseye 

 he made after winning is the highest one on the diagram. 



Military series 2, target appearing and disappearing at intervals of 

 3 seconds at 20yds., 2in. bull, was won by Mr. Winans with the best on 

 record score of 41. 



For series 3, 6 shots in 12 seconds at 20yds. on a 2in. bull, Mr. Winans 



SCORE 



was leading with a score of 38 out of a possible 42, equaling his last 

 year's best on record, but as said above, in order to improve his 

 military aggregate scores he shot again, first making 39 and then a 

 still better 39, all the shots being in the bull or almost touching it on 

 the right edge. This won the prize and is the best on record for this 

 series. 



The next military series 4, 6 shots at a stationary target, only two 

 entries allowed, was won with a score of 42 by Oa-pt. Heath, Mr. 

 Winans having a blow-off on account of wind, which spoiled his scores. 



Military series 5, 50yds. target, was won by Mr. Winans with a score 

 of 40. 



Target, or "any," revolver series 1, at a moving target, was divided 

 between Mr. Joynt and Mr. Winans with equal scores of 40. 



In series 2, disappearing targets for any revolvers, no less than 

 three competitors made a score of 41, Messrs. Winans, Joyni and 

 Pritchard, they dividing first prize. 



For any revolver, series 3, 6 shots in 12 seconds, Mr. Winans put all 

 except his fourth shot in the bullseye, scoring with that a 5, total 40 

 out of a possible 42— the best on record. 



Series 4, stationary target, 20yds., only two entries allowed, Lord 

 Cairns won with a highest possible score. 



Fifty yards, target revolver, was won by Lieut. Pritchard with a 

 score of 39, two points less than Mr. Winans's record score, the latter 

 scoring one point less. As said before, the wind was too high for good 

 scoring at 50yds. 



The military revolver aggregate was won by Mr. Winans with a 

 score of 193, Mr. Joynt coming next with one point less. The any re- 

 volver aggregate was won by Mr. Winans with a score of 196, Mr. 

 Joynt being second with six points less. The revolver grand aggre- 

 gate, constituting the revolver championship of England, was again 

 won by Mr. Walter Winans with a score of 389, Mr. Joynt (the revolver 

 champion of Ireland) being second with seven points less. 



The only score of 42 made in revolver pools this year was made by 

 Mr. Winans, who also made top score at his first entry in the Winans 

 competition for revolvers at an advancing taxget. This ran from 50 



p to 15yds., the six shots to be fired during the run. Mr. Winans 

 thought this would be a practical shoot, so gave the prize. He shot 

 the first entry at it ever fired, scoring a 6 at the first shot and all bulls- 

 eyes the remaining shots, scoring 41, which remains the best on 

 record. This trophy was won by Lieut. Chitty (champion revolver 

 shot of India) with a score of 39, Mr. Winans waiving his claim to tak- 

 ing a prize in a competition given by himself. 



The great feature of this year's revolver shooting has been the num- 

 ber of Smith & Wesson revolvers used at Bisley. 



Till the present year there were not more that some three compet- 

 itors using that make of revolver, but this year, although the actual 

 number will not be know till the report is published— about Christmas 

 —it is known that many, if not almost all, of the top scores were made 

 with them, all the best shots using them almost without exception. 

 Mr. Winans used a Smith & Wesson and U. M. 0. ammunition: Mr. 

 Joynt a Colt with Eley's ammunition, both black powder. Lord 

 Cairns used both a Colt and a Smith & Wesson: we believe his highest 

 possible score was made with the latter. Liet. Chitty used a Colt. 



There seems to have been some danger in using smokeless powder 

 in rifles at this meeting. One competitor using Cannonite in a Lee-Met- 

 ford rifle burst the breech and injured an eye. It is thought he had a 

 bullet strip and leave its envelope in the barrel the previous shot. A 

 competitor with a double-barreled hunting rifle, who won the cup for 

 that style of shooting, had a striker blow out with Cordite powder, 

 the striker passing through the brim of his hat, and another badly 

 strained the breech of a similar rifle in the same competition. 



Hay Hurst, of Canada, won the Queen's Prize for rifle shooting. As 

 the party of Canadians carrying him shoulder high in a chair passed 

 Mr. Wioans's cottage, they cheered the Stars and Stripes fluttering on 

 the gable. The cheers were returned with interest by Mr. Winans's 

 party, who were sitting on the piazza watching the finish of the com-' 

 petition.

Pacific Slope Riflemen. 



San Francisco, Cal., July 28 —The attendance at Shell Mound Range 

 to-day was light. It was "bullseye day" with the Schuetzen clubs.

 dale Park, L. I., were present and receiving the congratulations of 

 their shooting friends. Following are the scores of the Columbia Club

Revolver Shooting in England. 



London, England, July 26.— Owing to the Bisley rifle meeting, no 

 scores of any account have been made at either the North or South 

 London rifle clubs' revolver competitions lately, so they are not worth 

 detailing. The totals for the revolver championship of the North 

 London Rifle Club are not made up yet. For the South London the 

 following are in the lead: 



Walter Winans 319, Knapp 290, T. W. Heath 305, E. H. Howe 280, J. 

 Howard 271.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 

 these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 



Saturday afternoon practice shoots are common enough in the vicin- 

 ity of this city, but such shoots rarely bring out the members of the 

 different clubs in any sort of shape. Why don't more clubs follow the 

 example of the Peekskill and Newburgh Gun Clnbs, of New York State, 

 and of the Passaic and Maplewood Gun Clubs, of New Jersey? With 

 such clubs as the Climax of Plainfleld, South Side of Newark, Bruns- 

 wick of New Brunswick, Boiling Springs of Rutherford, Elizabeth of 

 Elizabeth, Endeavor of Jersey City, Union of Springfield, etc., all in 

 New Jersey, series of inter-club team contests should be more numer- 

 ous than they are. A team contest, 10 or 12 men a side, forms the 

 nucleus for a good day's sport, besides creating more enthusiasm 

 among club members than a dozen practice shoots.
