Charles Day Rose. 



Thk following interesting particulars of the latest Oup challenger, 

 Mr. Charles Day Rose, are given by the Sun. There is not much of 

 yachting in Mr. Rose's experiences, but all that is yet to come. 



Although it had been surmised that the sportsmanlike tone of 

 Charles Day Rose's challenge to race the Distant Shore for the Amer- 

 ica's Cup was due to his intimate knowledge of the characteristics of 

 Americans, formed during close business and social relations extend- 

 ing over many years, it is not generally known that he was born in 

 Huntingdon county, Proviuee of Quebec, in August, 1847, and had at- 

 tained early manhood before leaving Canada. The old Rose home- 

 stead is located on the Chateaugay River, which has its source within 

 30 miles of the border in the Adirondack Mountains. Here he passed 

 his boyhood and later attended McGill College at Montreal. 



Athletics had a firm standing among the Montreal students long 

 before track events were taken up by American collegians; in fact, in 

 those days the only general sport at Yale or Harvard was rowing. 

 Sprinting, long distance running and snowshoe running were the 

 leading Montreal sports, and Rose was proficient in each. The best 

 Montreal amateur of the old times was the late C. D. Armstrong, who 

 was one of the fleetest men who ever sped on the snow crust, yet Rose 

 could hold his own with him. He was equally good on the ground, 

 especially as a Btayer in heat races, when none of the collegians could 

 outrun him. 



William Rose, C. D. Rose's grandfather, emigrated to Canada when 

 quite a young man. His son, Sir John Rose, made his first start as a 

 school-teacher in the village of Athelstan, Huntingdon county. He 

 was born in 1820, and in 1843 married Charlotte, the daughter of 

 Robert Emmett Temple, of Rutland, Vf., who died in 1S33. The old 

 schoolhouse is still standing, although it has long survived its useful- 

 ness. Before his marriage John Rose went to Montreal to study law, 

 and soon after was admitted to the bar. He rose high in the legal 

 profession, and in 1857 was elected a member of the Maedonald Carter 

 administration. He held important cabinet appointments both be- 

 fore and after confederation., being Finance Minister under the Mac- 

 donald Government. In 1869 he left Canada for England to become a 

 partner in the London house of Morton, Bliss & Co., the Arm name 

 being Morton, Rose &, Co. He was knighted for his Canadian services 

 andbecamein 1883 Receiver-General of the Duchy of Cornwall, which 

 brought him into close personal relations with the Prince of Wales. 

 He died seven years ago, having been created a baronet in 1872, and 

 was succeeded in the title by Sir William Rose, the elder brother of 

 Charles Day Rose. He is a barrister, while 0. D. Rose is a banker and 

 the London representative of Morton, Bliss & Co. Sir John Rase left 

 further a younger son and two daughters, and divided a large fortune 

 by will among the five children. Charles Rose is married and has four 

 children, one of them an officer in the Royal Horse Guards. 



Hitherto Charles Day Rose has been more prominent as a turfman 

 than in yachting. His colors, blue, black sleeves, and a red cap, have 

 flashed first past the post in many of the great races of the English 

 turf, and he has the reputation of having both luck and sound judg- 

 ment. He bought Bonavista, the half brother to Sir Visto, from Lord 

 Rosebery, for 1,8EQ guineas, as a yparling, and won the Two Thousand 

 Guineas with him in 1892. The same year he brought out one of his 

 own breeding, Ravensbury, w r bo, but for Isinglass, would have been 

 the great three-year-old of 1893, running second to him in the Two 

 Thousand Guineas, the Derby, and St Leger, a trio of the "classic" 

 events. He sold Ravensbury to Oapt. Maehell for £5,000 



Like the late David Dunham Withers, Mr. Rose's ambition has been 

 to win races wit h horses of his own breeding and representing his own 

 ideas in blood lines. His Cup hunter is named after one of bis mares, 

 Dist ant Shore, bred in 1880 at Queen Victoria's stud farm, and, like 

 Penitent, Ravensbury's dam, stie is by the great Hermit, her dam 

 being Land's End, by Trumpeter; second dam Faraway, by Young 

 Melbourne. Distant Shore has been lucky enough in the stud to merit 

 the honor of being godmother to a Cup challenger. Her first foal, by 

 John Davis (1884). is the dam of this year's crack three-year-old 

 Whittier; in 1885 Van Dieman's Land, by Robert the Devil, was a good 

 racehorse; in 1886 Gulliver, by Galliard, raced well, and is now a 

 promising stallion in France. To follow out the list, Arcadia, by 

 Isonomy, was foaled in 1887; the colt St. Daurien, by St. Simon, in 1889 

 ("having missed in 1888): Liberia, by Galopio. in 1890; St. Hilaire, by St. 

 Simon, 1891; Chimera, by Sheen, sold for £2.000 as a. yearling, in 1892; 

 a bay colt by Donovan. 1893; a bay filly by Donovan. 



In the Rose Stud now are the following mares: Agnes Court, Hamp- 

 ton—Orphan Agnes; Arcadia, Isonomy— Distant Shore; Distant Shore, 

 Hermit— Land s End; Lorette, Galliard— Penitent; Magdalen, Hermit 

 — Vaga; Monotony, See Saw— Orchestra; Penitent, Hermit— Stray- 

 Shot; St. Kynan, Hampton— Land's End. 



Mr. Rose owned Lady Abbess, the dam of his good racer Bel 

 Demonio, but sold her in 1891. 



Fifteen or Twenty Feet. 



Since the certainty of further small class racing was assured by the 

 challenge of the Royal Canadian Y. O, as well as one from Mr. Brand, 

 for the Seawanhaka C. Y. C. International cup, the question has been 

 mooted of abolishing the 15ft. class and transferring the racing, if 

 possible, to the 20ft., arguments on both sides having appeared in some 

 of the daily papers. We do not know what the feeling of the Seawan- 

 haka race committee is in the matter, and this will have an important 

 bearing on the question; but so far as our own observation goes, we 

 are strongly against such a change. 



The one great point is that the 15ft. class is now in existence and 

 the subject of general inquiry and approval among yachtsmen in all 

 parts or the country, it is already well known through the late Spruce- 

 Ethelwynn races, two challenges are in hand, the Montreal men are 

 already at work with plans for building and extensive racing prior to the 

 selection of a challenging yacht, and one new yacht has already been 

 ordered for the defense. Coming in without introduction, at a time 

 when the attention of all yachtsmen was riveted on the Defender and 

 Valkyrie III., of a smaller class than ever before known in American 

 yachting, the 15-footers have met with an exceptionally promising 

 reception ; and have been most successful this season. With all this in 

 their favor, and with the proverbial fickleness and instability of 

 yachtsmen in regard to new classes, it would be most foolish to dis- 

 card this class in favor of some other, as yet unknown and not in 

 existence, but which may or may not be better. 



Ab far as the merits of the two classes, ISft. or 20ft. racing length, 

 are concerned, there is comparatively little choice; the models would 

 probably be identical, of the knife centerboard type, one sailed by two 

 men and the other by three, the dimensions and Bail plans being 

 directly proportioned to these weights of live ballast. The difference 

 in size and power would be bo little that where the 20-footer would go 

 the 15- footer would follow; neither is dry or comfortable in bad 

 weather, and neither is fit for cruising and seagoing such as the old 

 canoe-yawls do; but, as the races this year have shown, the 15-footer 

 can go to windward in a good breeze and sea; and at Oyster Bay at 

 least a suitable course could be laid on almost any day in summer, 

 barring a heavy gale, in which even much larger yachts would not 

 care to race. 



In power and ability, and in room, there would be little to choose be- 

 tween the racing 15-footer sailed by two men and the racing ^0-footer 

 sailed by three; but there is a difference which is greatly In favor of 

 the 15-footer. The size is materially less for purposes of transport — 

 some 5ft. less over-all length and 2ft. of beam, with much shorter 

 spars— in fact, the 15-footer is quite as large a boat as can be con- 

 veniently shipped by rail without a special flat car, or transported by 

 wagon. Just now this quality is a valuable one. We hope that, in the 

 event of the Royal Sc. Lawrence challenge being accepted, the 

 trial races of next year will serve to bring together not merely a fleet 

 of a dozen boats from about the Sound, as this year, but a truly rep- 

 resentative fleet, such as has never been gathered together before, 

 from all parts of the country; from Minnetonka and the other West- 

 ern lakes, where there are many fast open boats; from other inland 

 points, where local yachtsmen and designers are anxious to test their 

 skill against the salt-water cracks. To this end it is desirable that the 

 size, the first cost and the crew be kept at the lowest point; in short, 

 that, as opposed to the syndicate yacht of untold expense, or even the 

 modern racing 40 or 50-Iooter, the trouble and expense be minimized, 

 so as to make the class a popular one, rich in ideas and experiment. 

 The cost of i he 20-footer will be about 50 per cent, more than the 15- 

 footer, say $900 instead of 8550 as the outside limit for each; the ex- 

 pense and trouble of transportation will be much greater, and the 

 necessity of finding two companions instead of one, as with Mr, 

 Brand this year, will add to the difficulty of bringiug a boat from a 

 distance. 



As regards the Royal St. Lawrence Y. C, since 1890 it has been the 

 policy of the club to encourage the building and racing of the small- 

 est effective two-man boats under a racing length measurement, and 

 the challenge is therefore the legitimate outcome of this policy. The 

 limits of this class as originally laid down were carefully drawn with 

 the idea of securing a small, cheap and effective craft that could be 

 easily handled by two men, and that would not depend on a ballast 

 crew or hiking for stability. The limit adopted was 18ft. racing 

 length, with a two-man crew, sail being measured by the Seawanhaka 

 rule. The boats were to have either a beam of one-third their l.w.l. 

 length or 301bs. of fixed ballast per foot of such length, and there 

 were no restrictions on sails. The first boats built under the rule 

 were compromise sloops of about 16ft. l.w.l. and small cai boats. Then 

 came Bug-, phenomenal except in one or two instances. These condi- 

 tions became so apparent after the season of 1894 that notice of mo- 

 tion for a reduction of the class limit after the season of 1895 was 



given, it was. tie toteotioo ftl> tbig time to reduce the Until to about 



During the past summer the good work done by the 14-raters in 

 Great Britain, and the advantages of working on parallel lines with 

 outside clubs, created a strong feeling in favor of transforming a 

 class that has never filled into a 15ft. class, and thiB movement has 

 found expression in the challenge for the Seawanhaka cup. 



A modern 18ft. racing length boat, judging by successful modern 

 boats of this class in other waters, would be a boat of 27ft. over all, 

 8ft. beam, 16ft. l.w.l. and with 400sq. ft. of sail, and such a boat ia a 

 big boat for two men to handle, an expensive boat to build and keep 

 up, and if the work done by Spruce and Ethelwynn in their last two 

 races is any criterion of the serviceability of the p raters in a sea- 

 way, then it is doubtful whether the 18ft. boat, or the 1-rater, is so 

 much better a boat than the p rater as to justify the difference in 

 cost. Another Btrong point in ravor of the J^-rater is the comparative 

 ease with which she can be handled ashore and in transit when com- 

 pared with the 1-rater. 



There is every prospect that as a result of the challenge for the Sea- 

 wanhaka cup being accepted, there will be a class of seven to ten 

 p raters racing on Lake St. Louis next season. Whether the club 



nd Mr. Duggan could be induced to go down with a 1-rater instead of 



J/3-rater is questionable, but it is doubtful in that case whether more 



ban two boats will be built. 



Preserving Sails. 



Thb following method of cleaning and preserving sails was given to 

 ub by Dr. 0. Brewster, of the sloop Maud, Royal St. Lawrence Y. O: 

 To preserve sails from mildew and to restore the original whiteness 

 spread on a clean grass plot and wet thoroughly, then take pipe clay, 

 which is sold very cheaply at all pipe works (the common "potter's 

 clay" of American potteries) and mix it with water to almost the con- 

 sistency of milk. Spread over the sail and rub in well within old 

 broom, then turn the sail and repeat the process on the other side, 

 after which the sail should be hung up to dry. This is best done in 

 the fall before the sails are stored, as it will keep out vermin, and the 

 sails will come out clean and fresh in the spring. The process will 

 make the sail look like new, and as the pipe clay is little affected by 

 rain, the effects of the process will last through the season. 



YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 



The Spalding St. Lawrence Boat Co. (formerly the St. Lawrence 

 River Skiff, Canoe and Steam Launch Co., of Clayton, N. Y.) have re- 

 moved their entire business to Ogdensburg, N. Y., their reason for 

 this change in location being their desire to benefit by the superior 

 building and shipping facilities the latter city affords. This com- 

 pany's new plant is probably the largest of its bind in the world, any 

 is equipped throughout with machinery designed and made especially 

 for the business. Although the name of the concern is changed, tby 

 principals and management remain the same, and the pick of iheir 

 force at their old Clayton quarters move to Ogdeosbuni with them. 

 As heretofore, the Spalding St. Lawrence Co. will make a specialty of 

 the famous St, Lawrence. River skiffs, and will build high grade pleas- 

 ure, racing and cruising craft of all kinds. 



The regatta committee of the Atlantic Y. C. announce the following 

 racing fixtures for 1896, subject to ratification by the club at the 

 annual meeting in February next: Saturday, May 30, Decoration 

 Day excursion and regatta of the A. Y. O. fleet; Saturday, June 6. re- 

 gatta for special classes over courses in Upper Bay; Saturday, June 

 13, regatta of special classes over club courpe; Tuesday, June 16, an- 

 nual regatta over club courses; Saturday, June S!7, regatta for special 

 classes over courses in Upper Bay; annual squadron cruise of the 

 club in July, the date to be fixed at the annual meeting. John L. 

 Bliss, chairman regatta committee, 128 Front street, New York. 



A prominent steamboat excursion company at; Jamestown, N. Y., 

 has closed a contract with the Marine Iron Works, Chicago, for two 

 exceptionally fine, flush-decked steam yachts, for use next season 

 on Chautauqua Lake, each boat to be 51ft. long, and 10ft. beam, The 

 general arrangement, deck plan, engine house, toilet room, etc., is of a 

 character that will render them not only attractive, but very con- 

 venient, and yet leaving a surprising amount of deck room. Each 

 yacht will carry 75 passenge.s comfortably and safely, and in addition 

 there is space' arranged for a dozen musicians on the forward upper 

 deck, with neat swinging awning suspended above this "band deck." 

 The contract was given after inspection of a similar steam yacht 

 which the same company recently completed for St Louis parties. 

 Delivery will be made via Chicago & Erie Ry. to Jamestown, N. Y., 

 on special cars, equivalent to six ordinary flat cars, and is the largest 

 single shipment of the kind, height and width considered, to New 

 York State from Chicago by rail. 



Messrs. L. Prang & Co. have just added to their yachting series a 

 very spirited picture from a painting by J. G. Tyler, entitled "Plying 

 Defender." The yacht is shown under spinaker and b«lloon jibtop- 

 sail, poised aloft on a wave, disclosing her bronze hull against ihe green 

 sea, while astern is the following fleet. 



A new type of naphtha launch, the invention of Mr. Feodor Hirsh, 

 was successfully launched and tested at Port Morris on Oct. 18 The 

 machinery is below the floor, the casing projecting only 8 to 9in. 

 above, while the engine is contrr lied by a lever in the pilot house. 

 The yacht, owned by John C. De La Vergne, of Orienta, was christened 

 Mongoose by Miss De La Vergne. After the launch she started for 

 Larchmont, of which club the owner is a member. 



The Seawanhaka Cor. Y. C. has secured temporary quarters in the 

 old Jockey Club house, 60 Madison ave., which were opened Oct. 21. 

 Wednesday night will be club night through the winter, and the pop- 

 ular mess dinners will be held as usual. 



The many friends of Mr. Arthur Binney will be pleased to learn of 

 bis engagement, just announced in Boston, to Miss Daisy Harvey, of 

 that city. Mr Binney was for some years associated with the late 

 Mr. Burgess, and more recently has carried on the business of yacht 

 designing alone. 



The large steel steam yacht designed by Lewis Nixon, the keel of 

 which will be laid this week, is Baid to be for P. A. B. Widener, of 

 Philadelphia.

Hudson Rifle Club. 



ITS HISTORY AND PROGRAMME FOR ITS ANNUAL SHOOT. 



During the winter of 1887-88 some young men in Marion, N. J., 

 talked of organizing a rifle club for the advancement of the sport and 

 sociability in that portion of Jersey City. Thev found ready listeners, 

 but very few followers. By persistent urging'and coaxing they man- 

 aged to collect together thirteen persons on tbe night of Feb. IS, 1888 

 and organized a club to be known as the Hudson Rifle Club of Jersey 

 City Heights, N. J. 3 



The first six months were devoted to getting a headquarters and a 

 range. They found a place suitable for the purpose in an unused cel- 

 lar; this they transformed into a one-tunnel shooting gallery, and for 

 months the members strove hard to make a success of the new club. 

 They gradually increased in membership and soon had enough in 

 their treasury to warrant changing their headquarters to Schmidt's 

 Hall, Marion. Here they were able to have two tunnels to shoot 

 through. 



Nearly two years were spent in this place, when the membership and 

 interests increased so much that they were compelled to loon for 

 larger quarters. A joint meeting was called and the proposition of 

 building a club house was heartily endorsed. Subscription lists were 

 started, and in a short time the organization was ready to proceed 

 with a building. One of its originaf members offered to lease a lot for 

 a term of years: this offer was cheerfully accepted, and a building 

 was erected at 35 Giles ave., Marion. Tbe membership still increased 

 and three tunnels were found to be insufficient for tbe demand. Two 

 years ago the fourth hole was cut through the club house in order to 

 give the members a chance to improve their marksmanship. It was 

 about this time that the club remodeled its system of books, etc., and 

 a board of officers was elected to take full charge of the club's inter- 

 eats. The new board rooted out all dead wood and offered great 

 inducements to new members. Team matches were indulged in, and 

 individual matches made things lively and instructive. —^3 

 Still the cry came that more room was wanted, and on Feb. 18, 1895, 

 the clu'o was Incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey 

 and bonds for several thousand dollars were issued to the members. 

 These found a ready sale, and in May, 1S95, ground was broken for a 

 large two-story club house at 31 Marion place, Jersey City, N. J. This 

 building is 22x100, and every inch of spaoo has been fully utilized. A 

 booting ireo» 10X-25 has been fitted up with six ooannels to shoo 



through. A macadamized platform for tbe shooter to stand on in- 

 sures a steady footing. This also prevents any jarring from persous 

 walking or jumping on the floor of the room. This room is devoted 

 exclusively to snooting. The second floor, consisting of a meeting 

 room same size as the one before mentioned, will be supplied with all 

 the necessary equipments to make it attractive and comfortable for 

 the meoibers. A refreshment room is also on this floor for the ex- 

 clusive use of members. The main building consists of a hall 22X70, 

 with tbe best of maple flooring, suitable for dancing and holding en- 

 tertainments. In tne rear of the hall will be the targets, which arts 

 onera'ed 1'iom the top, and visitors can view the shooting without the 

 slightest annoyance to the markers or shooters. The entire building 

 is uuistied throughout with the best selected yellow pine, and the dec- 

 orations will be elaborate. 



The annual prize shooting festival and opening takes place Monday, 

 Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 18, 19 and 20, andlt is hoped that every 

 rifleman will avail himself of the opportunity of visiting the largest 

 and grandest building of its kind in the United States. 



The Hudson Rifle Club has started from the bottom of the ladder 

 and climbed up until it is second to none, and a hearty and cordial 

 welcome will be extended to all who visit them in their new home. 

 The programme shows that the boys intend to make their new home 

 attractive to all who come. 



The programme includes shooting on the ring target, bullseye tar- 

 get and target of honor. On the first two targets the events are open 

 to all; on tne honor target only members can compete. Shooting 

 take3 place each evening from 7 o'clock until midnight. The bullseye 

 target, closes on Wednesday evening at 8 P. M. ; the honor target on 

 Tuesday at 10 P. M. The premium list is a large and attractive one. 

 Shooting committee is composed of Messrs. Charles Hutch, A. W. 

 Stuber and John Rebhan. The new club house is easily reached by 

 Pennsylvania Railroad trains to Marion, or by trolley car to West Side 

 avenue crossing. 



The club extends a cordial invitation to all rifle clubs, and states 

 that it will be prepared to accept challenges for matches after Dec. 1, 

 '95. An enjoyable evening will be guaranteed to all who may enter its 

 headquarters. 



Any information as to dates, etc., will be cheerfully given by address- 

 ing Oapt H. Mahleiibrock, Tonnele and Magnolia aveB., Jersey City, 

 N. J.; or Chas. E. Bird, Sec'y, 161 Astor St., Newark, N. J

Revolver Shooting in England. 



Owing to a p-otest having arisen to the last score made in the rifle 

 championship competition of the South London Rifle (Jlub, none of 

 the winning scores of either the revolver or rifle championship of this 

 club have yet b.een published, although the shooting has now finished 

 for the season. 



The only score certain at present is, that Mr. Walter Winans has 

 won the revolver cbampionsnip for the eighth year with the below 

 scores: 



Twenty yards, 42, 42, 41, 41, 40; 50yds., 40, 39, 39; total, 324. 



He used Smith & Wesson revolvers, both military and target, and U. 

 M. C. ammunition. 



Mr. Rand is second, but his score is not yet given. 



He uBed a Colt revolver and Eley's ammunition. 



Capt. T. W. Heath is third with a Colt revolver and Eley's ammu- 

 nition. 



On Oct. 2 there was more than half a gale of wind in London and a 

 full gale on the coast of England, so no good scores were made at the 

 North London Rifle Club in revolver shooting. 



Mr. Winans has now practically won the revolver championship of 

 this club also, but as will be seen below there will be a close race still 

 for the remaining prizes: 



Oct. 2.— Twenty yards, stationary target: 



Walter Winans 775677—39 T Knapp 677347-34

Rifle Notes. 



The Miller Rifle Club, of Hoboken, N. J., has enrolled nine new 

 members recently: H, Wolter, J Schulties, Frederick Boordman, E, 

 Arndt, Duncan Bryan, Otto Dehmcke, Louis Wolter, Henry Bishop 

 and Theo. Buttenbaum. 



There ia some talk in the cities of Syracuse and Rochester, N. Y., of 

 a meeting between the Syracuse Indoor Shooting Club and the Roches- 

 ter Revolver and Rifle Club. It is proposed that each club shall shoot 

 on its own range, the scores being telegraphed at ti e end of each 

 round. The targets will, of course, be also exchanged by mail for the 

 purpose of checking the scores sent by wire. 



The Syracuse Indoor Shooting Club holds shoots during the winter 

 every Tuesday atid Friday night. Its club rooms are located in the 

 Sabey block, and have been elegantly refitted during the summer. 



The Droposal to form a revolver club in connection with the New 

 Manhattau Athletic Club, of New York city, seems likely to bring- 

 forth good fruit. An international revolver contest would stimulate 

 pistol shooting in this country. Mr. C. T. Adams is chairman of the 

 committee appointed to bring the matter zo a head. 



Tbe committee appointed by the New Manhattan Athletic Club, with 

 a view to gathering together tbe best revolver shots in this country, 

 will hold its first meeting within the next week. At that meeting a 

 committee will be appointed to draw up rules and elect officers. 



Columbia Rifle and Pistol Club. 



San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 13.— Shell Mound Range to-day was

Miller Rifle Club. 



Hoboken, N. J.; Oct. 9.— At the weekly shoot of the Miller Rifle Club,
