instead. It was urged that the silk flags decay in about five years, 

 aud that a permanent trophy in the form of a silver or bronze shield 

 mounted on polished wood would be permanent and quite as valuable 

 as a souvenir. The proposal was favorably received and it was decided 

 to leave to the regatta committee the question of putting it in practical 

 form. Mr. Sparrow proposed that the allotment of prizes for each 

 different event should be made before instead of after the event was 

 decided ; the proposal was favorably discussed, but no action was taken. 

 Rule V., Par. 6, was changed by omitting in line five the words "rig or" 

 and substituting in line ten the word "trial" for "unlimited." All of 

 these proposed changes will be submitted to the entire committee by 

 a mail vote. Vice Com. O'Brien moved that the Canadian journal, 

 Athletic Life, bemade an official organ of the association. After dis- 

 cussion it was decided that this journal, being a monthly, would not 

 be available as a means of giving speedy notice of the names of ap- 

 plicants for membership, but that such names and other A. 0. A. 

 matter might be published. The following was finally passed: "It is 

 the sense of this meeting that names of applicants shall be published 

 in the Forest and 8tream and other official organs." The meeting 

 then adjourned. In the evening the guests were entertained by the 

 Deowainsta C. C. at a dinner in the hotel, followed by a visit to the 

 Rome Club; most of the party leaving on the midnight train for New 

 York, Albany and Boston.

The committee are under obligations to Com. Witherbee for reliev- 

 ing them of the responsibility of securing prizes, which duty he per- 

 formed by personal correspondence. We are aware that it was his 

 intention to write personal letters thanking each one, and should any 

 not have received such, it is due to their gifts having been sent in dur- 

 ing the meet, when the name might accidentally have been omitted 

 from the list. The committee also wish to thank for the Association 

 and for themselves the donors of prizes, as follows: Mrs. H. V. 

 Backus, Mivss Smith, Mrs. R. C. Black, Miss L. Francis, Miss F. Arch- 

 bald, Mrs. W. O. Witherbee, Mrs. Bowman, Misses Braine, Mrs. C. G. 

 Belman, Mrs. W. H. Cotton, Miss E. Draper, Miss F. Dartnell, Mrs. 

 Howard Gray, Mrs. Heron, Miss E. Pauline Johnson, Mrs. Leigh, Mrs. 

 Lawrence, Mrs. F. L. Mix, Mrs. Mather, Miss Wiser. Miss Lillie Sher- 

 wood, Misses McVaan, Miss Scott, Miss M. Leonard, Mrs. McLaughlin, 

 Mrs. Holden, Miss Severance, Mrs. Warner, MissG. Fraser, Mrs. Hittler, 

 Messrs. J. F. Turrill, Robert P. Wakeman, Peterborough Canoe Co., 

 Knickerbocker C. C. and Hotel Champlain. 



In addition to the full official record of the races and donors of prizes, 

 the report of the 1895 regatta committee is as follows: Owing to the 

 absence of two of the regularly appointed regatta committee, Mr. E. 

 M. Fulton was appointed a substitute. Mr. Fulton very kindly placed 

 his yacbt Gadabout at the disposal of tb.9 committee for the entire 

 meet, of which we take this opportunity to express our appreciation. 

 We also desire to thank Messrs. Jameg A. Smith and Percy F. Hogan 

 for their services as clerk of the course and starter respectively, and 

 Mr. Carpenter for the use of his yacht and assistance in logging 

 courses, placing buoys, etc., and the Rochester C. C. for the use of 

 their cannon for starting races. Several letters are herewith sub- 

 mitted, from members who have been good enough to favor us with 

 their opinions concerning a modification of the sailing rules. In con- 

 sideration of these expressions, and of the general sentiment of our 

 members, so far as we have been able to learn, we beg to suggest the 

 following changes: 



First. In Rule 1, lines 7 and 8, strike out words "except the unclas- 

 sified boats, to which class the limits of length and breadth only shall 

 apply." 



Second. In Rule 1, lines 24, 25, 26 and 27, defining the dimensions of 

 cruising canoes, rr ake such changes in size of well and restrictions to 

 canterboard as shall meet the requirements of the improved modern 

 cruising canoe. 



Third. Provide a rule that shall limit the length of the sliding seat, 

 for all races, to not exceeding the beam of the canoe. 



Fourth. Provide a rule that shall make the limit of length and beam 

 of canoes for club fours sufficiently larger than the dimensions of the 

 regular limits to meet the requirements for such races. 



And we would further suggest that the executive committee 

 recommend to the incoming regatta committee that they provide 

 races similnr to event 9 (limited sailing) and event 21 (swimming) on 

 the programme of this year; and that they consider the advisability 

 of continuing the classification as used in events 7 and 8.

Regatta Committee. 



To the report are appended several letters containing suggestions to 

 the committee, most of which were published in the Forest and 

 Stream last spring. The following, however, was not published then: 



Teheran, Persia, March 30, 1895. 

 Chairman Regatta Committee A. C. A.; 



Dear Sir— I have read with much interest the plan of the A. C. A. to 

 revive the sport of canoe racing by a system of handicapping; and 

 although I shall not have the pleasure of taking part in the meet of 

 1895, yet I shall watch closely the events attending your handicapping 

 experiment. 



As I consider it to be the duty of every racing canoeist to give the 

 committee the benefit of his experience or advice, I beg leave to lay 

 before you the following suggestions, in the hope that you may find it 

 of some use in determining upon a system of handicapping. 



My observation in England last summer led me to believe that in 

 canoe and small yacht sailing, as well as in larger craft, the most 

 satisfactory results are to be obtained by a system of handicapping 

 based on length and sail area, and that, except in individual cases, or 

 exceptional circumstances, the handicapping rule should be hard, 

 fast and immovable, in order that men might have a definite standard 

 to build to in planning boats for future racing. Anything in the way 

 of sealed handicapping or temporary guess work is, in my opinion, 

 most injudicious. I would suggest, therefore, that as a basis of your 

 deliberations you take the rules of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 

 of New York, and the Yacht Racing Association of England. For the 

 purpose of canoe racing I think that the Y. R. A. rule is to be pre- 

 ferred, as it is much simpler in form and places a greater penalty on 

 sail area. 



It seems to me that if new men are to be encouraged to take up canoe 

 racing, and the veterans of the sport are to be encouraged to come 

 back and compete with the present day experts, a very considerable 

 tax should be placed upon sail area. Every inducement should be 

 given for the improvement of form of hull ; and to that end I think that 

 hull should not be taxed, lest the racing canoe degenerate into a tub. 



The Y. R. A, rule is as follows: L '^j^ =Rating. This rule ia espe- 

 cially good for small raters, whatever tendencies it may have to pro- 

 duce boats of abnormal beam in the larger classes. It would be 

 difficult to imagine a better rule for half-raters and under. The Sea- 

 wanhaka rule is practically the same, with the exception that it does 

 not place so great a tax on sail area. In canoe racing, if the modern 

 experts desire to carry great spreads of sail, they should be made to 



Eay a heavy penalty for it. In this way we may in time work out a 

 etter all-round racing canoe, that will give every man a fair chance 

 i n most of the A. C. A. events. Mr. Willard Howard.

Zettler Rifle Club. 



New York, Nov. 15.— The winter season of the Zettler Rifle Club 

 was opened this week, 18 members taking part in the opening shoot: 

 Conditions: 75ft., 25 ring target. 



Dr. J. A. Boyken 247, M. B, Engel 247, L. Flach 247, F. C. Ross 247, 

 R. Busse 246, Henry Holges24G, B. Zettler 246, C. G. Zettler 244, P. Fiegel

 G. W. Downs 235, A. Klein 232, William Soli 230, Col. H, Fabrourals 224, 

 F. O. Roidel 206. 



The list of prize winners for the spring and summer season, whlob 

 commenced on April 14 and closed a week ago, is not a large one con- 

 sidering the membership of the club, and the attendance which char- 

 acterized the weekly shoots of the club up to the time of the National 

 Schuetzenfest at Glendale Park ; up to that date the average of attend- 

 ing marksmen for the 13 shoots was 22, a number that shows the 

 members were interested in their work. After the Schuetzenfest 

 they seemed to lose interest and the result was that only ten men 

 qualified for prizes. The Brooklyn Eagle gives the following on the 

 subject: 



"All the shooting in the tournrment was done at the 200yds. range 

 and the main condition was that each man's best fifty scores of ten 

 shots each would count, so that in order to qualify for a prize a mem- 

 ber would have to Are 500 shots or over during the season. Champion 

 Ross made a total of 11,215 points out of a possible 12,500, an average 

 of 224 and a little over for ten shots, and the fine average of nearly 

 22^ per shot for 500 shots. His highest score was 232 for a series, 

 ana at that he was beaten by George W. Plaisted, who made 235 out 

 of a possible 250, the high score of the tournament for ten straight 

 shots. The ten men divided $225 in cash prizes. Besides that, Ross, 

 Plaisted and Gus Zimmermann, with 73 points each out of a possible 

 75, and John Blumberg, w.th 72 points, divided the cash prize of $25, 

 presented by Charles C. Wlssel for the best straight target of honor 

 scores."

 his average per ten shots, and his highest ten-shot score:

Ross-Martin vs. Dorrler-Plaisted. 



New York, No v. 18.— Riflemen in this section will have a chance on 

 Thanksgiving Day of witnessing a good four-handed match at Cypress 

 Hills Park, Brooklyn, between Fred. C. Ross and Ignatz Martin on one 

 side, and M. J. Dorrler and G. W. Plaisted on the other. The con- 

 ditions will be: 200yds., German ring target, off-hand shooting, 100 

 shots per man, Zettler Rifle Club rules to govern; all the contestants 

 are members of the Zettler Rifle Club. The match may be styled 

 Brooklyn vs. New Jersey, as Ross and Martin live in the City of 

 Churches, while Plaisted and Dorrler are both residents of New 

 Jersey. 



The match is for a stake of $200, and is the second that has taken 



glace between the two teams. In the first match Ross and Martin won 

 y 39 points, and this pair are the favorites in the coming contest. 

 Given a fine day and perfect weather conditions, the affair ought to 

 be productive of some fine scores, as the shooters are among the best 

 in the country.
