THE FOREST AND STREAM GUN TESTS. 



THE interest in the preparations making by the Forest and 

 Stream for a regular and systematic test of all matters 

 connected with shotgun pattern and penetration, is widespread 

 and lively. From the mail on the subject within the past tew 

 days two letters are selected. Maine and California each express- 

 ing its concern about the question to be looked into: 



Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 24.— Editor Forest and Stream: Sir: 

 By all means let us have the shotgun tests. I have grappled with 

 a few of the problems mentioned by your Vieksburg correspond- 

 ent last week. Please give us results on the proportion between 

 shot and powder, and tell us whether it is worth while to spend a 

 dollar a pound for powder instead of thirty to fifty cents, as some 

 of us do. This interested party hopes that the matter of recoil 

 will receive atteutiou as well as pattern, penetration, etc His 

 enjoyment of shooting is closely connected with the headache he 

 has or misses. — Q, B. W. 



Bath, Me., Sept. 3.— Editor Forest and Stream: I am much 

 pleased to hear of your proposed shotgun test. Please test the 

 3m. chamber with 3J£in. brass sheU. Also see what the result 

 will be iu using coarse black powder primed with much finer 

 black.-H. G. M.

SAN FB A.NOISCO, Sept. 10.— To-day a good crowd assembled 

 at George Bird's grounds, at Birds Point, to celebrate the Admis- 

 sion day holiday by the destruction of live pigeons and blue 

 rocks. About 11 o'clock six men decided to tackle the blueroeks. 

 each one putting up S1.50 entrance money, the $9 being divided 

 into $0 and §3. Carter won the first prize, uever giving a shadow 

 of a chance on his ten birds, and Holtz making a good second 

 with 9. The second shoot was another 10 single bluerock affair, 

 for which 8 marksmen put up .$2 each, the coin to be divided into 

 $10 and $0. Smith took first prize with nine. Holly, making a tol- 

 erably good second prize winner with eight. The third shoot, 

 which came off immediately after luncheon, was at live birds, of 

 which George Bird produced some six dozen good ones. Mr. 

 Walker was unanimously elected sole judge, and business com- 

 menced at a dozen birds by six shooters, each putting up $2, the 

 highest score to take the layout. The distance was 30yds. for ten- 

 gauge guns, and 28yds. for twelves. Carter, Brunei- and Cole 

 using the latter. The boundary was 80yds. George Bird officiated 

 as trapper. Holz won with eleven, grassing four with his second. 

 Carter came in second with ten, his two lost being stone dead out 

 of bounds, and would havebeen scored in a 100yd. boundary shoot; 

 The wind-up shoot was a go at ten pairs of blueroeks by Holtz 

 and Smith for 310 each, in which both men broke sixteen and 

 shot off the ties at three, pairs of doubles at a distance of 21yds., 

 when Smith won handsomely by one bird. The weather was per- 

 fectly line, but awfully hot. Following are the complete scores:

 some of the older ones enough to do to hold their own. The fol-

 exciting, and a glance at tbe score wiB show that most of the 

 shooters meant business. Following are the scores made in the

A. C. A. REGATTA RULES, ETC.-SUGGESTIONS. 



EACH year makes a decided advance in the methods of run- 

 ning canoe meet regattas; yet there is still considerable 

 room for improvement. For the benefit of the '89 regatta com- 

 mittee, and as the executive committee in November may revise 

 the rules, the following notes on the regatta of this year have 

 been written, together with such suggestions as the. experience 

 derived from it dictates, (It will not be possible to publish the 

 full report of the regatta committee). 



NOTES ON CONSTITUTION AND BY-EAWI?.— REGATTA COMMITTEE. 



A. C. A. Constitution. Article VIII.— Duties of Commodore, 

 * * * The Commodore-elect shall within thirty days of bis 

 election appoint a Regatta Committee of three members, for the 

 Annual Camp of the A. C. A. * * * * . * 



Article IX.— Duties of Regatta Committee.— It shall bo the duty 

 of each Regatta Committee to prepare and publish, not later tJiaii 

 June 1, an order of races for their respective regattas; to super- 

 intend the laying out and buoying of courses; to provide the 

 prizes; to appoint judges, starters and timekeepers, and to decide 

 all protests. They shall post the course and conditions of each 

 race in some prominent place at least one hour before the race is 

 called; and shall have entire control of the races at their respec- 

 tive meetings, except that the Regatta Committee of the Division 

 in which the A. C. A. Meet is to be held shall act as a local sub- 

 committee to the A. C. A. Regatta Committee. 



Article XIII.— No changes shall be made in the classification, 

 measurement or sailing regulations, unless sanctioned bv the 

 Executive Committee. 



The construction of the buoys and method of anchoring them 

 will be described in detail in the report, for the benefit of the in- 

 coming committee. The laying out of the courses was a very 

 simple matter this year. A rail ship's log was used on a steam 

 launch for measuring the distances and a compass for getting 

 the angles of the triangle. This insured accuracy. 



The third duty of the regatta committee is £i to provide tbe 

 prizes." Now this is a difficult matter, and the method of doing 

 it is not stated. Formerly individuals have been asked to con- 

 tribute. This year the clubs were each requested to furnish 

 a flag; with the results as before stated in the Forest And 

 Stream. All the expenses of the committee have to be as- 

 sumed by the chairman, who renders a report to the commodore, 

 and after two or three months collects from the Association what 

 he has advanced. No provision is made for such expenses, and 

 no limit is set to the amount, much to the embarrassment of the 

 committee. It seems, therefore, that the Association, to protect 

 itself and treat the committee fairly, should make an appropria- 

 tion for regatta expenses baaed on an estimate made by the com- 

 mittee. This estimate can easily be made by consulting the 

 reports of expenses in former years which have been published.
