MIDDLESEX GUN CLUB— The rernlar semi-monthly shoot «f 

 the Middlesex Club was held at Duneflen N. J., Juno 23 The day 

 was stormv and the attendance, early in the day, very slim, so the 

 bovs had a few swoops at clay birds. Later the gunB began to 

 come in and the sweeps at live birds began. There is some talk 

 of tho State law prohibiting live bird shooting being enforced; if 

 so the bovs will have to learn to smash the crockery. 



First sweep, IS clav birds, 3 traps, all angles:

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.— Since the disbandment of the Cos- 

 mopolitan Club, the onco leading shooting organization in this 

 city, several of the more prominent members have been anxiously 

 lookiue forward to some means by which the club might be reor- 

 ganized and the former members again enlisted in the ranks. 

 And it was decided to give a pigeon shoot, open to all comers, at 

 San Bruno to-day. The reorganized local crack shots were pres- 

 ent in full force, and the weather was favorable for shooting. 

 The conditions of the shoot were : Twelve birds each, 10yds. rise 

 and 80yds. boundary, no entrance fee being charged. There were 

 nearlv twenty competitors, twelve of whom were formerly mem- 

 bers o"f the Cosmopolitan Club. Bowen made tbe excellent score 

 of eleven birds out of a possible twelve. He missed his first bird, 

 a blue rock, by having it drop dead on the outside of the bound- 

 ary. Considering that several of the contestants had not handled 

 a gun for some time and lacked practice, the scores, as a whole, 

 were very good. They were as follows : 



Ault 28-110212201101- 9 Slade 30-111011121100- 9

 others killed ouly four.

THE BOSTON SHOOT.— New York, June 24.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: Tbe Cleveland Target. Co. donated a handsome watch 

 and chain, costing $150, te be shot for at the Boston tournament. 

 The writer, who was present, saw Mr. F. G. Strater (Stanton) win 

 the prize with a score of 20 straight. In your report and all other 

 published reports of the tournament, no mention is made of this 

 valuable prize. The Cleveland Target Co. would like to know 

 what disposition has been made of their watch and chain? And it 

 strikes me very forcibly that if such donations are silently ignored 

 or forgotten, very little encouragement is given to donat<e any- 

 thing in the future.— Chas, Richards.

THE ASSOCIATION MEET. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have just noticed an article written some time since bv a New 

 Jersey gentleman, in which he makes complaint that the A.C.A. 

 meet for tho current year was fixed at such a great distance 

 from Wb dooryard. Seated in my easv chair and musing upon tho 

 article in question. I fell asleen and dreamed a woeful dream. Me- 

 thought in my slumbers that this New Jersey grumbler had torn 

 himself away from his native mosquito land and had moved out 

 here into the wild, wild West, as so many Easterners seem to con- 

 sider the State of Ohio. When the time drew near for the A.C.A. 

 meet he determined to attend. The meet was to be held at a point 

 dimly defined in my dream, but seeming in some unaccountable 

 manner to combine Lake George, Stony Lake, Tho Thousand 

 Islands and Bow Arrow Point all in one. This emigrant from the 

 Now Jersey swamps began to cast about him for the wavs and 

 means of making the trip. He found that the A. C. A. transpor- 

 tation committee, having labored under the impression that the 

 scope of the Association was bounded on the west by the western 

 limits of New York State, had failed to arrange for special rates 

 or conveniences for members residing outside the charmed circle, 

 and therefore he must negotiate for his own accommodations over 

 the 800 miles of railway which lay between him and his Mecca. 

 After paying out a part of his next year's salary for a passenger 

 ticket, he turned his thoughts toward solving the question as to 

 the best manner of transporting his canoe. He interrogated an 

 old hand at canoeing who had made the journey repeatedly, but 

 tho old hand refused to advise. Perhaps the hesitancy of the old 

 hand in giving advice was caused by the remembrance of a 

 time when he himself had shipped his canoe by exnress to 

 the point at which the meet was held, and the fact 

 that when it arrived he found it was damaged just too little to 

 bring suit against the company for damages, but just enough to 

 spoil the looks of his handsome canoo and to keep hia temper at 

 boiling point during the meet. Or he may have been influenced 

 by the memory of the sardonic smile which pervaded the express 

 fiend's face as he handed him a bill for transportation which was 

 marked boldly with the figures 338.45. Then, again, he may have 

 remembered another blessed experience of his when he had 

 shipped his canoe by slow freight three weeks before the time for 

 the meet and it had arrived at the camp two days after the meet 

 was over; and he, poor soul, had been compelled to sponge off of 

 his fellow members for blankets, tent room, etc., his effects having 

 been shipped with his canoe. Is it any wonder that the old hand 

 didn't feel competent to advise? Then the unadvised New Jersey 

 man concluded to take his canoe with him as baggage. After 

 something less than a ton of correspondence with the numerous 

 officials of the various railroads over which he must travel, he suc- 

 ceeded in getting permission to take his craft in the baggaee car 

 over the greater part of the route. Ho started. He had failed to 

 have the word "gratis" inserted in his baggage permit, and before 

 he had journeyed far it seemed to him that the railway corpora- 

 tions of the particular lines over which he traveled had imported 

 all the vampires of South America to act as baggage men on their 

 roads— they bled him so much and so readily for handling this 

 extra piece. He was compelled to travel two nights and one day 

 to reach the meet. In that time he changed cars so often that he 

 lost all sleep, and at each change the new baggage man struck 

 him for from one to five dollars. When he reached the meet ho 

 was worn out from loss of slumber and his canoe was almost a 

 total wreck. 



Then, in my dream, T thought that this whilom New Jersey man 

 turned his eves toward his old homo and went. He remembered 

 how (through arrangements made by the A. C. A. or his club, and 

 without trouble to himself) he was wont to load his canoe onboard 

 the car assigned for that purpose, climbing in his sleeper some 

 pleasant evening, and on the next morning find himself at tho 

 place of meeting, his temper unruffled, his canoe unlnjurod. and 

 withal tho merest trifle expended for fare and transportation. 

 Just as this Now Jersey exile was beginning to realize what a 

 pleasant thing it was to be an Eastern member of the A. C. A., I 

 awoke. 



Yes, Mr. Forest and Stream, we Westerners pass through a 

 great deal of tribulation in getting our canoes to the meet, and It 

 seems as though if any erurabling Is to be done we should bo al- 

 lowed to lend a hand. But when we look at the fact that members 

 come to tbe meet from Montana and other portions of our far 

 West, we haven't the heart to grumble over our little journey of a 

 few hundred miles. This is not a grumble, for I have attended the 

 meet at each and every place where it has been held since the or- 

 ganization of the A. C. A., and am now looking forward to tho 

 privilege and pleasure of taking my canoe under my arm and 

 " stepping around to see the boys " at Bow-Arrow Point next 

 August. 



But. remembering the effect upon the Canadians of holding a 

 meet in Canada. T think it would be beneficial to the Association, 

 as well as to it* Western members, to hold one big meet of the A. 

 C. A. at some Western point': at least as far West as Michigan. 

 There are hundreds of unattached, practical canoeists hero in tho 

 West, and such an action of tho A . C. A . would give a boom to 

 Western canoeing such as nothing else could.

TORONTO C. C. RACES. 



O ATURDAY last saw the following canoes in line ready to start 

 O for the decked aud open sailing medals which go to the com- 

 petitor winning them the most times during the season, the races 

 tor each being limited to 5. 



Dawn W. A. Leys Decked. 



Mac W. G. McKendrick Decked. 



Dottrel D. B. Jacques Decked. 



Acis A. H.Mason Decked. 



Boreas. . H. Neilson Decked. 



Ripple W. A. Cooke 1 Decked. 



Una Colin Fraser Open. 



Worra R. O. McCulloch Open. 



The course was the usual triangular one of 3V(j miles, twice 

 round. The start was made in a moderate wind and the Mac 

 quickly took the lead with Dawn second and Dottrel third. At 

 the finish of the first round the positions were the same, with the 

 Mac about 100yds. of a lead. On the next leg of the course the two 

 leading canoes had to go about three or four times on account of 

 steamers and vachts, and when the buoy was rounded the Dawn 

 had a load of 58yds. The wind continued to fall lighter and lighter 

 and the race was finished in a drift with the Dawn a good first 

 and the Mac 2m. astern, none of the remaining canoes finishing. 

 The Una was leading the Werra when they took to their paddles 

 to get back in time for tea. After a short rest the paddling race 

 was started. 



Dawn W. A. Leys Decked. 



Wanda W. H. Weston Docked. 



Mac W. G. McKendrick Decked. 



Ripple W.A.Cooke Decked. 



Acis A. H. Mason Decked. 



Mojeska W. B. Raymond Open. 



Werra R. O. McCulloch. ... Open. 



Una Colin Fraser Open. 



The Dawn, which has so distinguisned Herself, was designed by 

 W. P. Stephens and built by Ruggles. She was rigged with a new 

 and ill-fitting sliding gunter mainsail of 70sq.ft. and borrowed 

 mizen of 20ft., and if she is as fast in heavy weather as in light, 

 she will soon own all tho silverware of the club. Mac.

AMERICAN CANOEING IN ENGLAND.— The sailing of the 

 new canoe Charm at Hendon last Saturday took the old hands at 

 the sport quite by surprise; but they generously congratulated the 

 owner on his skill both as a designer and sailer. The canoe is said 

 to be on the wave-form system, hut so is the Nautilus, so that 

 beautiful svstom per se could not be the cause of the success of the 

 Charm. No doubt the small hull and sails, well balanced to suit 

 the weather, were the main features which led to her success, but 

 we should not like to go so far as to say that she would not have 

 beaten Nautilus and Pearl in a harder blow. The American stylo 

 of sailing these boats, with the "crew" sitting on the gunwale, 

 and prepared on an emergency to produce a cataleptic back ex- 

 tended to windward, has resulted in some advantages from a speed 

 point of view and portability; but for many purposes the roomy- 

 old Nautilus or Pearl is much to be preferred.— Field, June IS. 



OAKLAND C. C— On June 9 the Oakland C. C. gave a reception 

 in honor of Vice-Com. Richards, now in San Francisco. The fleet 

 turned out for a moonlight sail, each canoe carrying a lady; and 

 after returning to the house at 11P.M., a supper was served. 

 Vice-Com. Richards has taken part in several scrub races at Oak- 

 land. 



SQUAW POLNT.— The ladies are already planning for a big 

 camp at the new Squaw Point on Lake Champlain. Among others 

 who will be present are Mrs. Carter, Mrs. and Miss Furman, of 

 Trenton, Mrs. and Miss Seavey, of New York, and Mrs. W, S, 

 Herriman and Mrs, R, N, Pennison, of Brooklyn,
