FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 18, 1889. 



WALNUT HILL, July 10.— The grounds of the Massachusetts 

 Rifle Association presented a lively scene to-day after the trap 

 shooters had asseinhled for their fortnightly meeting The event 

 of the afternoon was the sixth competition in the Gold Coin 

 match, in which Messrs. Curtis and Stanton led, after an exciting 

 ■contest . This ma tch has proved very popular, as the ingenious 

 method adopted of grading competitors, not only by the excel- 

 lence of their score, but also by the regularity of their attend- 

 ance on shoot dnvs, is a very acceptable novelty. By this method 

 the marksmen who regularly frequent the range obtain a better 

 chance at the higher prizes on the list, while those who put in 

 but an occasional appearance will have an excellent Hat of trophies 

 to compete for. The scores in the match will be found in the fol- 

 lowing summary, as well as the winners in the minor sweep- 

 stakes. Gold Com match, 15 clay birds and 15 standard targets, 

 Keystone squad system, sixth competition:

BOSTON GUN CLUB- Wellington, July 13.-This was "expert 

 day" of the Boston Gun Club at Wellington traps. The attend- 

 ance, though not large, was enthusiastic, the fine trap practice 

 adding much to the day's enjoyment, while first-class scores were 

 made. The next shoot on these grounds will be for the amateurs, 

 the sixth of the handicap series, July 17. The principal event was 

 the 50-bird match at standard targets, this being the second of a 

 series of five 50-bird matches at five different targets, for a series 

 of prizes offered by the Boston Gun Club for the best aggregate 

 score. Stanton made the highest score 43, closely followed by 

 Swift with 41, the others scores ranging down to 34. This match 

 was divided into five 10-bird sweeps, the following being a sum- 

 mary of these and other events: Ten standard targets, Stanton; 

 10 standards, Roxton and Stanton; 10 standards. Swift and Rox-

WELLINGTON, Mass., July 13.— There was a good attendance 

 at the Wellington Club to-day. The weather conditions were 

 favorable for good scores, but the new guard in front of the 

 trappers, which was built during the week, and on which the sun 

 made the light rather dazzling, prevented fine shooting. In the 

 silver pitcher match, at 7 bluerocks and 8 clay-pigeons, Warren, 

 Sanhorn and Bradbury tied with 11 each, and in the shoot-off 

 Bradbury won. The other scores in this match were: Savage,

THE MONTREAL C. C. MEET. 



THE first annual meet of the young Montreal C. C. took place 

 at Como, on the Ottawa, on June .39 and 30 and July 1, and 

 although the programme was not carried out in its entirety, this 

 the first attempt to hold a meet in the waters about Montreal was 

 a great and triumphant success. The camp site was at the bot- 

 tom of the deep bay formed by a long point which juts far out 

 to the eastward, immediately to the north of which beautiful 

 Como nestles amid her noble elms, and faced alake- wide reach of 

 the Ottawa, and was everything that a camp site should he. Be- 

 hind was a beautiful open wood, a sandy beach shelved up to a 

 few rods nf green turf, partially shaded by two magnificent but- 

 ternut trees. In front was the broad river and the blue hills of 

 Oka. 



The first canoe that reached the. camp was that old veteran the 

 Lucile, and the commodore, Mr. J. White, the "Cock Robin" 

 of last year's meet, had his camp in order, the flag flying and nis 

 famous frying-pan at work before the next arrivals, the Pointe 

 Claire district men, came straggling in. 



The wind, light all day, had been conspicuous by its absence 

 during the latter part, and the "White Crows" fleet, which was 

 composed of the Mab, Inez, Cigarette and the sloop Fawn, had 

 been all day in sailing nineteen miles. Before the crescent moon 

 showed itself, however, tents were up, canoes were berthed, a 

 meal cooked and consumed, and the twelve men who had reached 

 camp that first night, built them a monstrous fire, brewed them 

 an unpretentious jorum of hot lemonade, and proceeded to wake 

 up the echoes in the Oka hills. 



"Lucile" sang "Cock Robin" with all the old gusto, "Rosalie" 

 produced his guitar and accompanied "Marguerite" while he 

 convulsed the assembly with the "Woes of Mary Ann Taylor," the 

 "Agonies nf the Amateur Yachtsman" and many another rollick- 

 ing song, for Marguerite can sing all night without repeating him- 

 self. When "Ino" (he's gone in for a big boat this year, but he's 

 a canoeist still) produced his "piano" and attempted to spring 

 "Home Sweet Home" with variations on the multitude it was de- 

 cided that the time for"Auld Lang Syne" had come, and then to 

 bed. 



It had been a long day, and every man in camp slept like a Tro- 

 jan, with one exception. "Cigarette" had elected t o sleep under 

 nis canoe, and about 4 o'clock in the morning he turned out and 

 began to chop wood. "Mah" joined him, and the persistence 

 with which these two evil doers built a bonfire brought out the 

 whole camp before half -past 5 o'clock. This made a long morning 

 of it. A substantial meal was cooked, the camp got into Sunday 

 trim, and when about 11 o'clock the St. Lawrence fleet, in tow of 

 the Ires, came round the point, that camp looked as if it had been 

 there for a month. 



With the yachts came half a dozen canoes and a couple of 

 dozen of the Lake St. Louis and Below Rapid men, and during 

 the long afternoon others straggled in, until by nightfall between 

 thirty and forty M. C. C. men and about six A. C. A. men were 

 in camp. The Valois and St. Ann's men did not turn up at all, 

 however, the lack of wind, the strong current and picnics origin- 

 ated by the ladies of their respective clubs proved too strong re- 

 pellant forces. It was a quiet day, that long Sunday, in spite of 

 the bust'e of tho new camp. A geod many bass and dory were 

 caught in the afternoon. A dozen craft cruised down to Oka 

 and explored the quaint old Indian viUage, and the Pointe Claire 

 mess indulged in a grand fish dinner. The evening was spent in 

 rambling along the beautiful Como woods and about the camp- 

 fire, but the camp was collectively and individually tired, and it 

 went to bed at an early hour. 



The young Dominion never had a fairer nalal day than was the 

 first of July, and when the morning gun went and the red flag 

 with its heraldic bearings went up, three lusty cheers rang over 

 t he calm water and through the all too still air. There was not 

 a breath of wind for an hour. When it did come it came straight 

 up the "Lac Two Mounting," and there was ;not enough of it to 

 blow away a smoke wreath. As the steam yachts had deserted 

 the sailing yachts, and aU hands and the cook were anxious to 

 get away— always excepting of course the paddling men, and as 

 ft was too hot to paddle and there was not enough wind to sail, 



it was decided, with the consent of the entered contestants, to 

 postpone the regatta, which was to have been held on Monday 

 morning, and put on a set of scratch races instead of it. 



The first race was a four in a canoe, singleblade, and four crewB, 

 a Lake St. Louis, a Pointe Claire, a Mabel and a Minnie A. crew, 

 started. The. Lake St. Louis crew, captained by Nash, won, the 

 Pointe Claire cfevVi captained by Higgenson, coming a good 

 second. 



The hurry-scurry followed, and the way Commodore Duggin 

 climbed into and out of his canoe was a caution. He won easily, 

 Irvine a poor second, and Archibald third. 



The last race was a tandem, and it was a hard fight straight 

 through. Nash and Grissette, of the Lake St. Louis, won; Irvine 

 and Shaw second. 



Then camp was broken and the licet, under sail and paddle, 

 started on what proved to be an all-day's bout with the current, 

 aided only by a breeze that hardly had weight enough in it 

 to tighten the sheets. Every man who went to the meet or took 

 part in the cruise had, as far as heard from, a good time, and be 

 either has or will have a sore face, for the way the sun burned 

 was "a caution, don't yer know ! " This is the first time the Mon- 

 treal canoeists have ever tried a meet, but it won't be the last, not 

 much. At least "them's the sentiments" of The Cook. 



P. 8.— The way those boys ate planked bass and dor 6 was some- 

 thing frightful. 



P. S. No. 2.— What became of the commodore's left slipper? 



LAKE HOPATCONG C. C. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The Lake Hopatcong C. C hold its second annual regatta off 

 Elba Point, Lake Hopatcong, N. J., on the Fourth of July at 4 

 o'clock P. M., and a crowd of about 300 gathered to witness the 

 races. The time for the start was fixed at 3 o'clock, but on ac- 

 count, of the rain was delayed until 4 P. M., by which time th« 

 light wind which had been blowing had almost completely died 

 out. 



The first race was the yacht race, which was declared off by 

 the judges, as none of the racers rounded the third buoy, which 

 had sunk for some reason unknown. The canoe sailing race was 

 won by L. B. Palmer, of the lanthe Club, in canoe lanthe, with 

 D. D. Gessler, of the Lake Hopatcong Club, second, in canoe 

 Sylph, and T. A. Gessler third in the canoe Naiad. The rest did 

 not finish on account of the wind having died out so completely 

 that they could not make their buoys. The race was for the 

 Breslin challenge cup, valued at $30, which must be won three 

 times in succession before becoming the property of the winner. 



The paddling race was won by Mr. Stewart, of the lanthe, in 

 the Scoot, with Theo. A. Gessler second, about a boat length be- 

 hind, in the Naiad; prize, silver cup. 



The hurry-scurry was won by Commodore Gessler in Sylph, 

 with T. A. Gessler second in Naiad, and J. Van Fleet third in 

 canoe Arrow; prize, a nickle drop rudder. 



Upset paddling race was hotly contested for between T. A. Gess- 

 ler and L. B. Palmer, Gessler finally winning hy about a length 

 and thus capturing a silver cup. 



Lewis F, Pilcher won the swimming race hy a length and re- 

 ceived a silver medal. 



Two rowing and an all-comers' race were also gone through 

 with, for which the prizes were handsome silver cups. 



Among those present and interested in the furthering of the 

 canoeing interest at the lake were: Miss Lotta, Miss Rosina 

 Yokes, the Misses Dunlap, the Misses Poole, Mr. E. G. Blackford, 

 Fish Commissioner of the State of New York, Mr. George Br van t,

ROYAL C. C. 



THE second race for the sailing challenge cup of the Royal C.C. 

 took place on Saturday, June 32, and brought 9 starters. A 

 good whole sail breeze from N.E. and N. promised a better test of 

 the performances of the canoes than did the light breezes of tho 

 previous race. The following is a list of the starters: 

 Nautilus W. Baden-Powell. L T lidia R. Workman. 



Severn T. H. Holding. 



Wanda W. B. Lesslie. 



Mayola D. H. Marrable. 



Charm W- Stewart. 



Stella G. E. Webster. 



Atalanta R. Quincy. 



Yanessa B. Quincy. 



The signal was given at 3 o'clock punctually, and Charm, Nau- 

 tilus, Vanessa, Ulidia and Wanda crossed the line in the order 

 named. Severn appeared to have been delayed at the raft, for 

 she crossed the line several minutes after the others, and Atalanta 

 got into trouble of some sort with her steering gear, which com- 

 pelled her skipper to unship thc mizen and spend an uncomfort- 

 able 10 minutes on the alter hatch. She, however, eventually 

 started and pluckily took up the race. The canoes were close- 

 hauled to the buoy in the bigbt, and Wanda appeared to be gain- 

 ing a lead, but she was soon collared by Charm: there was, bow- 

 ever, very little distance between them on rounding this mark 

 and commencing the mn to the lower end of the lake. Stella 

 rounded the lower buoy first, with Severn second and Nautilus last. 

 All the canoes except Nautilus made a board over to the south 

 shore after rounding, but she stood over on the starboard tack 

 well out into the lake, and was able, to fetch the home buoy in 

 one hoard. Charm foUowed her closely, but did not succeed in 

 passing her until the end of the second round, when a shift of 

 wind enabled her, and also Vanessa, to round the home buoy 

 ahead of Nautilus. In the following three rounds Charm increased 

 her lead, and Stella passed Nautilus and also Vanessa. Tbe times 

 of the. rounds were as follows:

SECOND CLASS CHALLENGE FLAG. 



The second race for the sailing and palldling challenge fiag for 

 second class canoes tonk. part on Friday, June 21, when only 

 Illawarra (A. B. Ingram) and Spindrift (Col. Howland Roberts) 

 started. 



At the start there was a fresh breeze from the N.E. Spindrift 

 went off with the lead on the paddle, to the buoy in the bight, but 

 Illawarra passed her and rounded first. She increased her lead 

 in the run to the lower huoy, and during the beat back the wind 

 fell off considerably. Shortly after completing the first round 

 Spindrift gave up, both canoes being becalmed; Spindrift in the 

 bight and Illawarra at the lower end of the lake. A few minutes 

 afterward a strong breeze came up, and Illawarra had to reef 

 down on tho beat back. There being no other competitor the 

 course shortened to two rounds, and Illawarra was therefore the 

 winner of the second class challenge flag. Tt is to be hoped there 

 will in future be a better entry in this Glass.— Field, June %'J. 



ST. LAWRENCE RIVER SKIFF RACE. 



NEW YORK, July 13.— The first race under the management of 

 the newly-organized St. Lawrence River Skiff Sailing Asso- 

 ciation was sailed to-day upon the. Hudson River. The start was 

 from the foot of 152d street, and the course over which the little 

 fellows contested led them throe miles to windward and return. 

 The wind, a good wholesail breeze from the southwest, with the 

 assistance of a strong ebb tide, managed to kick up a lively little 

 sea, making the thrash to windward wet and exciting. The 

 racers were all yawl-rigged, and carried in addition to their regu- 

 lar sails a goodly spinaker. 



The entries were Germania, Sophie, Noname, Puck and Elsie. 

 Exactly at 5 o'clock the whistle on Com. Sooysmith's steam yacht 

 Errante sounded prepare, and five minutes later the signal for the 

 start was blown. Close hauled on the port tack, the rivals stood 

 away on a long leg for the Jersey shore, the Sophie in the lead, 

 closely followed by the Noname and Germania. 



In the thrash to windward Sophie worked ahead, outfo' t- 

 ing and outpointing her sisters. At 6:06 she rounded the stake 

 boat and neatly breaking out her spinaker, sped away for home. 

 Close together, Noname and Germania came rushing along, 

 and starting sheet hurried away in chase of the fleet-footed 

 leader. But in spite of the fresheniog breeze and the big spina- 

 ker of the Non%me, Capt. Stevenson's flyer was not to be can B 'it, 

 and crossed the line an easy winner at 6:40. Noname followed at 

 6:14, Germania ak 6:47. The first prize, a handsome whale-boat 

 compass, presented by the builders of the skiffs, was added to the 

 equipments of Sophie, while Capt. Guest's Noname flies the sec- 

 ond prize, a set of colors, the gift of Mr. John J. Boekie. The 

 next race will be sailed in about ten days, and the committee 

 expect to have from fifteen to twenty entries. F. F. D.
