FOREST AND STREAM. 



347 



with 16 points. Oharlee, an up-to-date sharpie, also designed, buil* 

 and sailed by her owner, H. E. McCormiek, being second, with 11 

 points for the season's work. R, G. Fleischmann's Tadpole has 9 

 points; and Pluto and Olie, owned respectively by Lloyd Titus and E. 

 W. Crittenden, have 4 points each. There were five races for the 

 record, first place counting 5 points, second 3 points, and third 1 point. 



Olie won the special race of the Riverton Y. C. for canoe yawls on 

 July 18, with Feather-, F. W. Noyes, second. Feather also won the 

 last record race on Oct. 5, but not having been in any of the previous 

 record races, Noyes did not claim any points. Feather is probably 

 our fastest canoe yawl, but she has been at Atlantic City nearly all 

 summer, so has not been thoroughly tested against the other boats. 



The contest for the record sailing prize for canoes, given by our 

 quartermaster, J. E. Murray, was not nearly as interesting as that of 

 tbe yawls. Capsizes, breakdowns and various mishaps, causing with- 

 drawals, were frequent, and only too certainly seem to verify the fact 

 that the old style canoe with comparatively long cockpit, as most of 

 ours are, is not a fit craft to sail races in, with anything like a decent 

 Bized rig and slider to correspond. 



Commodore Fenimore won three of the four canoe record races, 

 and was second once. His boat is the bathtub cockpit sharpie canoe 

 Smuggler, Bomewhat of the Battledore type, and she was sailed for 

 all she was worth, finishing one race all alone in a heavy wind and sea, 

 with all her forward deck and about a foot of her mainmast under 

 water, almost completely water-logged. Fenimore was perched on 

 the after deck to keep her from diving clean under every sea. 



J. M. Hamilton, with Fineen, a St. Lawrence Co. boat, somewhat 

 like Bat, with a canvas bucket cockpit of the Yonkers C. C. style, won . 

 one race and was second twice. M. D. Wilt, with Her Name, an old 

 Lassie model Everson lap streak 15ft. canoe, was second once. Total 

 points: Fenimore 18, Hamilton 11, Wilt 3; Osceola, Omar Shallcross, 

 and Kie Loe, H. M. Rogers, no points. 



In the special race for canoes in the Riverton Yacht Club regatta, 

 July 13, Smuggler won with, Her Name second. In the race for the 

 club sailing trophy for canoes, on the fall regatta day, Sept. 14, Smug- 

 gler and Her Name again finished in the same order. 



We have given both the triangular and straightaway and return 

 courses a very fair trial during the summer, and aside from the con- 

 venience of the triangular course from the spectators 1 point of view, I 

 think almost all of our sailors prefer the windward and leeward 

 course. 



The river is almost a mile wide for a considerable distance above 

 and below the club house, and several of the races were sailed over a 

 triangular course under very favorable conditions; but the other one, 

 around a permanent channel buoy, about three miles above the club 

 house, had the call. The prevailing summer winds on our river 

 almost always made this latter course a beat and run, with sometimes 

 a very close reach one way. 



The fall regatta and camp-fire on Sept. 14 was a success in every 

 way. We had plenty of entries and nearly every race was very close. 



Yawl race: 



Nixie, H. E. Bachmann 1 



Tadpole, R. G. Fleischmann 2 



Pluto, L. R. Titus 3 



Olie, E. W. Crittenden, and Hadji, C. B. Keen, also sailed. 



Sailing race for canoe sailing trophy: 



Smuggler, A. S Fenimore 1 



Her Name, M. D, Wilt 2 



Fineen, J. M. Hamilton 3 



Kie Loe, H. M. Rogers 4 



Single paddling, decked canoes, about \i mile: 



Ithanel, M. A. Freeman 1 



Her Name, M. D. Wilt 2 



Osceola, F. M. Crittenden , 3 



Tandem paddling, decked canoes, about V3 miles: 



Ithanel, M. A. Freeman and L. LeRoy , , 1 



Osceola, F. M. and E. W. Crittenden 2 



Enid, F. L. Wise and H. Blumner 3 



Kie Loe, M. D. Wilt and H. M. Rogers 4 



This race was the prettiest and closest race of the day, inches only 

 separating first and second, and all four crews finished with not over 

 a length between first and fourth. 



Tandem paddling, open canoes, yi mile: 



Gyp, F. M. and E. W. Crittenden 1 



Wandering Willie, M. D Wilt and H. M. Rogers 2 



Chiquita, F. L. Wise and H. Blumner 3 



Won by a length, half a length between second and third. 



After the regatta supper was served, and after supper a roaring 

 camp-fire was started on the beach and all hands had a eood time. 



Vice-Corn. Hand, of the Atlantic Division, and G. V. Parker, of the 

 Island Canoe Association, were honored guests. Mr. Hand said he 

 came to talk shop and have a goori time. He certainly did both, and 

 as a result the Red Dragons all want the Atlantic Division meet for 

 1890 on the Delaware. We have several good camp sites, good sailing 

 water and lots of room for miles up and down the river, and splendid 

 facilities for transportation and supplies. 



We have gotten the half-rater fever pretty badly. Several of our 

 members were over to see the Spruce-Ethelwynn races, and after a 

 good deal of informal discussion pro and con — mostly pro— it was de- 

 termined at the last meeting of the club to have a 15ft, racing class in 

 the club. Two or three of the yawls will be altered to the siugle-stick 

 rig, and probably three or four new boats will be built for the class 

 during the winter. 



Altogether things are very prosperous with the Red Dragons.

Revolver Shooting 1 in England. 



London, England, Sept. 27.— Very few members shot at the disap- 

 pearing target at tbe North London Rifle Club on Sept. 21, as they 

 have completed their scores in that competition for the revolver 

 championship of the club. The following were the scores shot:

It will be noticed that Major Palmer has come up into third place. 

 Many of the members are following Mr. Winans's example and using 

 Smith & Wesson revolvers andTJ. M. C. ammunition. 



The revolver championship of the South London Rifle Club has been 

 won by Mr. Walter Winans with a total of 324, Mr. Rand being second, 

 and Capt. T. W. Heath third; details not yet to hand. 



A Revolver Shot Abroad. 



Lieot. Sumner Paine sailed from New York on the Lucania Satur- 

 day for a long absence on the Continent. He will go at once to Paris, 

 where he intends to supplement his studies begun at the Harvard 

 Medical School by a course in the city hospitals. 



Mr. Paine takes with him two revolvers— a Colt's and a Smith & Wes- 

 son—and also two target pistols, and he will no doubt find time to 

 give the Johnnie Crapauds points on the niceties of target shooting 

 with their favorite wea pons, 



Lyman Rapid-Fire Target. 



The Lyman rapid-fire rifle targets are finding much favor. They 

 are in two sizes, for 25yds. and 50yds. The smaller one sent post-paid 

 for 15 cents a dozen, the larger one for 25 cents a dozen, by the Forest 

 and Stream Publishing Co.

The Brooklyn, N. Y., Eagle of Saturday, Oct. 12, contained the fol- 

 lowing in regard to the proposed interclub live-bird tournament at 

 Dexter Park, L 1 : "A dozen delegates, representing as many clubs, 

 held a meeting at Dexter Park yesterday afternoon and completed ar- 

 rangements for the Dexter Park live-bird championship tournament, 

 which will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 29 and 30. 

 Samuel Lyons, of the North Side Gun Club, was elected Chairman, and 

 H. S Lippack Secretary. A majority of the delegates were opposed 

 to any outside clubs entering in the tournament, and it was decided 

 that none but clubs shooting regularly at Dexter Park be admitted." 

 The rules provide that the teams shall consist of five men, each man 

 firing at 20 birds, entrance $10 per team, birds extra. The cup, pre- 

 sented by H. S. Lippack, will be first prize; the second, third and 

 fourth prizes will be respectively 50, 30 and 20 per cent, of entrance 

 fees; class shooting. Ties for the cup will be shot off at 25 birds to 

 the team, but money ties may be divided. Shooting will commence 

 each day at 10 A. M. prompt. Further particulars can be obtained by 

 writing to the secretary. If the above is correct, the New Utrecht, the 

 Ridgewood and other Long Island clubs that do not shoot at Dexter 

 Park will be ineligible to compete for the cup. 



Mr. H. E, NortoD, president of the Iron City Gun Club, Ironton, O., 

 under date of Oct. 12 sends us the following in regard to his club's 

 holiday tournament: "The holiday tournament to be given by the 

 Iron City Gun Club, Nov. 27 and 28, will without doubt be one of the 

 best shoots ever given in the State. The grounds are fine ones to 

 shoot on. Five expert traps will be used, known traps, unknown 

 angles, A. S. A. rules to govern. The club house is inclosed and 

 heated, and the management pledge themselves able to give a first- 

 class tournament. From four to six squads will be in attendance, 

 with more to hear from. The programme, so far as is known now, 

 will be as follows: Ten events each day, 15 bluerocks, SI. 50 entrance, 

 targets 2 cents, money divided 40, 30, 20, 10 per cent., club to adl $50 

 or §100 to ten highest guns. There will also be a team race of tour or 

 six men 25 targets per man, entrance $2 50, club to add $25 to the 

 purse in case two or more teams enter. All correspondence answered 

 promptly, information cheerfully given, and programmes sent, by ad- 

 dressing H. E. Norton, Box No. 275, Ironton, O." 



The Colt Gun Club, of Hartford, Conn., held its annual meitiDg on 

 Saturday, Oct 5, the following officers being elected: Presidmt, J. A. 

 Pitkin; Vice-President, C. E. Willard; Treasurer, W. R. Hopkins; 

 Secretary, M. F. Cook; Assistant Secretaries, F. Green and Albert 

 Cook- Instructor, Fred Risley; Executive Committee. J. A, Pitkin, C. 

 a WUlard, W. R. Hopkins. M F. Uook and L. C. Grover. The reports 

 of the various officers showed that tbe treasury was in good sMape 

 and that tbe list of members had. been increased by the addition of 



fourteen new shooters. After the meeting the regular shoot for the 

 medal at 25 targets was held, and the following scores were made: C. 

 Vibberts 22. McGinty 22, E. Goodwin 22, J. Pitkin 21, C. Burbridge 21, 

 0. Willard 20, F. Green 20. A. Cook 19, M. Cook 18, H. Nichols 17, C. 

 Bailey 17, A. Bailey 16. J. Peard 15, L. Thompson 15, W. Johnson 15, J. 

 Alger 14, F. Olmsted 13, C. Olmsted 11, F. Foster 11, E. HosktaB 9, 

 Carver 9, F. Storey 5. Vibberts, Goodwin and McGinty will shoot off 

 their tie for the medal at the next shoot, which will be Oct. 19. 



In a letter to the Pittsburg (Pa.) Times, under date of Oct. 11, John 

 G. Messner makes the public apology to J. O'H. Denny and to the 

 members of the Pittsburg Gun Club referred to in Drivers and Twist- 

 ers in our last issue. The letter reads as follows: "In the issue for 

 September 7 you published a note from me, headed 'Messner Chal- 

 lenges Denny,' in which I challenged James O'Hara Denny to shoot at 

 live birds or targets, and, incidentally, made statements which 

 offended that gentleman and displeased members of the Pittsburg 

 Gun Club. In extenuation I wish to say, publicly, that the state- 

 ments were based upon fault-finding criticisms repeated to me, partly 

 in letters, disparaging me as a 'shot.' Believing that the detraction 

 had been in fact uttered, I dashed off the unparliamentary sentences 

 referred to, my normally cool reason being overmatched by incensed 

 feelings and by a little wounded pride. After investigation I am of 

 the opinion that the stories which exasperated me were exaggerated, 

 and that I owe an apology to the gentlemen named, Individually and 

 collectively." 



Isn't there room in San Antonio for two tournaments and for two 

 gun clubs to exist without recriminations? The quarrel between the 

 two organizations promoting tournaments in that city is one of long 

 standing and we can hardly think that it will help matters to rake 

 over old scores. The sport of trap-shooting and its ultimate success 

 in any locality depends entirely on harmony between clubs and indi- 

 viduals. Matters have probably gone too far in San Antonio for the 

 tomahawk to be successfully buried; still, both the tournament of the 

 San Antonio Gun Club, which commences on October 27 next, and the 

 midwinter shoot of the Texas State Sportsmen's Association, to be 

 held on Jan. 9-11, 1896. under the management of Joe George and O. 

 O. Guessaz (Texas Field), would have brighter prospects if the 

 batchet was carried in the belt instead of being waved in the air. 



Trusting to one's memory is treacherous work, no matter how good 

 that memory may be. In reading over our account of those present 

 at the recent tournament held by the Rochester. N. Y., Rod and Gun 

 Club, we discovered that the name of the only Paul North had been 

 omitted. The omission is all the more extraordinary from the fact 

 that it was due to Paul to a great extent, that those who had the 

 pleasure of being present at the reception given by Mr. W. C. Hadley, 

 on the second evening of the shoot, went to bed with a conviction that 

 they had laughed harder on that night than for many months. When 

 Mr. Hadley and his violin, accompanied by Rolla Heikes on the piano, 

 rattled off the "Arkansas Traveller," Paul North showed that the 

 manufacture of blue rocks and electric pulls was not his sole accom- 

 plishment. 



H. M. Federhen, Secretary of the Boston Shooting Association, has 

 issued the programme for the Association's annual tournament at 

 Wellington, Maes. The dates chosen are Nov. 7 and 8. On the second 

 day the tie for the class C badge of the Massachusetts State Shooting 

 Association will be shot off; this contest will be an ioteresting one, as 

 there are no less than nine men tied for tbe badge: Rogers, of the 

 Marblehead Club; Warren and Pray, of the Boston Shooting Associa- 

 tion ; Baxter and Weatherbee, of the Lyndhurst Club; Newcomb, of 

 the Lexington Club; Doig, of The Lynn Fish and Game Club; Prescott, 

 of the Hingham Club, and C. W. Walls, of the Worcester Sportsmen's 

 Club. Snooting commences each day on the arrival of the 8:20 train 

 from Boston. The programme for the first day calls for 200 targets 

 with a total entrance fee of $14,50; on the second day, 215 targets and 

 $16.30 entrance money. 



Capt. Money, aided by J. T. Mascroft, blossomed into a poet dur- 

 ing the Newburgh (N. Y.) tournament last week This is how it 

 happened. Capt. Money was assigned the adjoining room to the 

 one occupied by the "Mayor of Sutton." During the night the New 

 England gentleman's nasal organs got to work in such shape that the 

 Captain could not sleep; he declares that the rhythm of the snores 

 made a capital accompaniment to the tune of "Pull the man down," 

 an old-time song. What with thinking about E C. powder, the words 

 of the above song running in his head, and Mascroft's bass accompani- 

 ment being kept prominently before him, he very soon produced three 

 stanzas and a chorus, all eulogizing E. C. We may shortly look for 

 them in sheet form, with the air attached. 



At the annual meeting of the Parkway Rod and Gun Club, of Brook- 

 lyn, N. Y., the following officers were elected: President, James 

 Bennett; Vice-President, Henry Bram well; Secretary, David J. Cutn- 

 mings; Treasurer, Elias Helgans; Field Captain, Henry J. Selover; 

 First Assistant Field Captain, Joseph Wooley; Second Assistant Field 

 Captain, Thomas Short; Steward, H. S. Lippack. Executive Com- 

 mittee: Henry J. Bookman. August Lehman and Archibald Andrews. 

 The team selected to represent the club at Dexter Park on Oct. 29, 30, 

 is as follows: Lee Helgans, James Bennett, Anthony Botty, Henry 

 Bramwell and Henry J. Bookman. 



The announcement that J. L. Brewer and T. W. Morfey will shoot a 

 100 live-bird race at Dexter Park, L I , in the near future (date not 

 fixed at the time of writing) has created a good deal of comment. 

 The conditions are 100 live birds per man, $1,000 a side, Brewer at - 

 33yds., Morfey at 30yds. If the birds are a really fast lot, Morfey 

 should have a very good chance of coming in first. It is reported 

 also that Brewer is after Collie Cockburn, of Toronto, Can., with 

 a view to getting on a match at live birds under the Old Dominion 

 rules. 



Louis T. Duryea (Davenport) recently defeated O M, Chapin in a 

 100-bird race at the Carteret grounds. The return match is to be shot 

 on the Westminster Kennel Club's grounds, Babylon, L. I„ but no 

 date has as yet been set. That Duryea is shooting now as well as ever 

 he did is evidenced by the way he defeated C. Furgueson, Jr., at the 

 New Utrecht grounds last Saturday, the score of which match is given 

 elsewhere. 



The Ridgewood Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y., held its regular 

 monthly shoot at live birds in WissePs Ridgewood Park on Friday 

 afternoon, Oct. 11, 15 members competing lor the club badge. The 

 contest is at 7 live birds per man. As the birds were a good lot, 

 Henry J. Wiemann was the only one to go straight, winning the badge 

 without a shoot-off. 



The officers of the Harvard Gun Club are: President, C. A. Pierce, 

 '96; Vice-President, W. Byrd, '97; Secretary-Treasurer and Executive 

 Officer, R. D. Sterling, '96; Asst. Executive Officer, G. H. Kinnincut, 

 '98; Directors, S. Hecksher, '96, E. DuPont, Jr., '97, and F. A. Sterling,
