FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jan. 17, 1889. 



CLEVELAND, Jan. 10.— The second of the series ot Chamberhn 

 prize contests was held in conjunction with the Cleveland badge 

 shoot on the grounds of the latter this afternoon. Eleven new 

 competitors appeared on the list notwithstanding the unfavorable 

 weather conditions, and the sport was fully enjoyable. Ihe 

 shooters left doubtful exhibitions of skill to the referee, aban- 

 doned their usual ulaces along the railing, and hovered around 

 the club house radiat or. Consequently some delay was occasioned 

 through the tardy appearance of some of the sportsmen at the 

 score. No remarkable scores were made, F. H. W all and H. Phare 

 being the cnlv shooters who shattered more than twenty birds. 

 According to the conditions under which the prizes were ottered, 

 the shoot was conducted under the rules of the club upon whose 

 ^rounds the contest was held, 25 single bluerocks per man. lhree 

 traps were used. Messrs. H. Phare and T. J. Maggo, members of 

 the East End Gun Club, led the contestants, their total scores 

 being 45 and 44. The Cleveland? came in for third place, F. H. 

 Wall ^coring 43 in the two contests, while C. E. Calhoon is tourta 

 with 42 birds to his credit. The results of the ten monthly con- 

 tests which follow, may, of course, alter the relative standings ot 

 the leaders, and it is possible for some others to shoot up into the 

 leading places, since the conditions require no one to take part in 

 more than six shoots during the year. A number of good shooters 

 have not entered into the competition yet, and many of those now 

 credited with poor scores may yet get. to the front, the rules per- 

 mitting them to take, part in more than six contests. The next 

 shoot, will he held on the Kirtland grounds in February.

FRENCHTO WN. N. J., Jan. 10— Editor Forest and Siren, n: 1 1 

 is seldom that the writer of these notes has had an opportunity 

 to attend a more enjoyable shoot than that which was given him 

 bv mine host, W. C. Apgar, of the National Hotel, at French town, 

 N. J., on Jan. 10. The programme was an all-day sweepstake and 

 brought out a large delegation of shooters from all parts of the 

 State. In company with Charlie Van Camp, Tony Kuser, 1 ox 

 and Williams, I left Trenton and arrived at Frenohtown about

genial landlord Apgar. At dinner a vote was taken, and it 

 was decided to shoot the balance of the day under modified 

 Hurlingham rules, which proved satisfactory to all. The traps 

 were removed to a large open held on top of a hill, and as there 

 was a good stiff breeze blowing and the birds were a strong lot, it 

 made rather difficult shooting. I was surprised at the large 

 number of L. C. Smith guns in use here. Appended a re the scores, 

 the miss and out was finished in the dark:

HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 10.— The regular monthly shoot at 

 live birds for the gold club medal came off to-day at the Harris- 

 burg Driving Park, and was won by Mr. Jacob Whiteman by a 

 clean score. The conditions were 13 live birds each, 21yds„ old 

 Long Island rules. The shooting was done in a perfect gale of 

 wind, which blew from the score straight over the traps and made 

 the majority of the birds go driving before it when once on the 

 wing, and therefore makes the score good for amateurs:

MILLER VS. JOHNSON. — Springfield, N. J., Jan. 12.— E. D. 

 Miller and C. H. Johnson, Jr., shot a match on the Union Gun 

 Club grounds here, this afternoon at 100 Keystone targets, 18yds., 

 for the Atlantic Ammunition Co. 's diamond trophy held by Mil- 

 ler; and the result showed that Miller still holds the first mort- 

 gage on it, and is likely to: but he will not have a chance to fore- 

 close on it until next September, and between now and then 

 he is liable to have to defend it many times. As regards Lite face 

 shot to-day, it was very exciting from start to finish, Miller 

 only leading by one bird at the end. The day was all that could 

 he desired and some of the contestants' friends showed up early 

 and stayed to the finish, and were well satisfied with the sport 

 witnessed. The Keystone traps worked splendidly, but the birds 

 were thrown very low so that it was almost impossible to see 

 them until they had got nearly out of range, particularly the 

 left-quarterer which was the most missed: 86 of such bird's are. 

 fully up to 98 bluerocks, I think all judges would say. Miller 

 shot his old Parker, but that seemed to get there all the same. 

 Johnson stuck by his Smith hammerless, and after he got on to 

 them did good work. Both contestants used chewing gum. Ben 

 Padney referee; J. M- Roll scorer. Following is f h<- score:

PHILADELPHIA, Jan, 5— The novelty of shooting clay-pigeons 

 by calcium light was successfully performed at the Gentlemen's 

 Driving Park last night by R. T. Clayton, of Tamaqua, and S. B. 

 Vandegrift, of this city. The match between the marksmen be- 

 gan by daylight in the afternoon, and consisted of 15 single birds 

 and 5 pairs of doubles for $50 a side. FuUy three hundred lovers 

 of the sport went to the park to witness the contest. The match 

 was a tie, each man breaking 24 out of 25. 



COUNTRY CLUB.— One of the most valuable trophies yet 

 offered for competition among the pigeon shooters will be com- 

 peted for at the Country Club of Westchester county in February. 

 It wiU be of $500 value and will he shot for by teams of two. The 

 conditions are 20 birds each man, 30yds. rise, Country Club 

 boundary (about 50yds.), ties 5 birds to each man. Country Club 

 rules. Entrance $50 for each team and entries to close on Feb. 

 16. This cup is open to teams from the following clubs: Tuxedo, 

 Westminster Kennel, Carteret, Philadelphia, Riverton, Country 

 Club of Boston, Rockaway Hunt, Meadowbrook and Country 

 Club of Westchester. Each club may enter several teams. 



ALGONQUIN GUN CLUB.— New York, Jan. U.-The regular 

 monthly meeting and semi-annual shoot of the Algonquin Gun 

 Club brought a goodly number of members and guests to the club 

 grounds at Guttenberg, N. J., yesterday. Prominent among the 

 latter were Mr. C. H. Wetmore of the Keystone Manufacturing 

 Co., of Corrv, Pa., and President Fountain of the Washington 

 Heights Gun Club, of this city. A strong west wind blowing 

 directly across the shooting grounds rendered 90 per cent, scores 

 an utter impossibility. Some of the boys "got thar" in great 

 shape, however, in the sweeps. Among the gentlemen winning 

 renown as crockery smashers were Messrs. Wetmore, Tomlin, 

 Garside and Dr. Geo. Van Schaick. The Doctor further celebrated 

 his prowess bv dancing a war dance to an admiring audience on 

 the piazza of the club house. The Keystone trap and targets were 

 on trial and proved satisfactory in every respect, the trap work- 

 ing easily and well and responding every time at pull with a 

 whole bird, no flocks or chips, the flight being even and the bird 

 breaking readily to light loads and No' 8 shot. Our presideut has 

 ordered a complete outfit of Keystone traps and targets for future 

 use, and we hope to publish some creditable scores ere long, of 

 which more anon.— E. H. F. 



PILKTNGTON VS. ZOHN.— The grounds of the West Farms 

 (N. Y.) Gun Club were crowded on the 12th when the match shoot 

 between Charles Zohn and James Pilkington for a cup valued at 

 $300, and the championship of Worcester county was decided. 

 According to the agreement, the men shot at 50 live birds under 

 Hurlingham Club rules, 30yds. rise and 50yds, boundary. It was 

 an exciting match and betting ran high. George Jarvis was the 

 referee and C. Ditmar and L. Miller the judges. The men were 

 very evenly matched, but Pilkington had the hardest lot of birds, 

 and was forced to use his second barrel more frequently than 

 Zohn. He used it in all 15 times, while Zohn used it on only seven 

 occasions. Pilkington finally won by killing 40 and missing 10; 

 Zohn killing 37 and missing 13. About $2,000 changed hands. 



THE PATERSON CITY ROD AND GUN CLUB, of Paterson, 

 N. J., has reorganized with a membership of 37, and is going t o 

 boom things. 



SOUTH SIDE GUN CLUB, of Newark, N, J.-At a meeting 

 of the club, held on Jan. 8, a revision of the constitution and by- 

 laws was made which put the entire management of the organiza- 

 tion into the hands of a governing committee. The gentlemen 

 who will have charge as members of that committee are: Messrs. 

 R. H. Breintnall, Oswald Von Lengerke, J. R. Burnett, Asa White- 

 head and W. R. Hobart. The govrrning committee elected as 

 officers: R. H. Breintnall president, and W. R. Hobart secretary 

 and treasurer. Mr. Isaac H. Terrill was appointed manager. 



SANDUSKY, O., Jan. 11.— Chas. Hart, the champion shot of 

 the Union Gun Club, of Erie, Huron and Sandusky counties, and 

 who recently shot a match with Heikes, at Dayton, had both his 

 eyes so badly injured bv an explosion of powder at his home, near 

 Huron, yesterday, that it is feared his sight is entirely destroyed. 

 He was loading shells, when a primer exploded, igniting a pound 

 of powder, which horribly burned his face and head. 



ORINDA. 



THE great changes and improvements that have taken place of 

 late years in the smaller keel craft are nowhere better 

 shown than in a comparison of the accompanying design with two 

 of the same family that have previously been published in our 

 c olumns, the Mamie, Feb. 13, 1885, and Pilgrim, Dec. 29, 1887. All 

 of i hese viM-.hfs were designed and built by Mr. E. L. Williams, of 

 South Boston; the former, in 1884, being his first work at anything 

 f the kind, his previous work being mainly in the line of sheila 

 ,nd light rowing boats. Mr. Williams was one of the early con- 

 certs to the views of the Forest and Stream in regard to reforms 

 ,n design and construction, and foreseeing the probable demand 

 for deener and safer boats he endeavored to change his business 

 j as to take in larger craft. The first experiment, the Mamie, 

 , as made in a small way, the leading idea of the boat being taken 

 Jrom a plan suggested in our columns of a cheap but serviceable 

 yacht. The little craft was lacking both in power and in accom- 

 modation, but at the same time she proved quite a success, being 

 used steadily as a cruiser for the past five seasons. The peculiar 

 type has in itself several serious objections, besides which, the boat 

 was built at as low a cost as possible, but she has done very well, 

 in spite of all drawbacks, in the Pilgrim, built in 1885, a consid- 

 erable advance was made both iu appearance and in general good 

 qualities, but at the same time, with limited draft and iron ballast, 

 the boat was not powerful enough, while she had very little room 

 for such long cruises as she was used for and whose logs have ap- 

 peared in otir pages. After two seasons' use along the New Eng- 

 aud coast she was sold, and for a season her owner, Dr. Vy . B. 

 Winslow, was without a yacht, spending his vacation m a trip by 

 steamer through the Great Lakes, but last year he decided on a 

 new and larger boat, the OTder being again placed with Mr. 

 Williams. The requirements caUed for a cruising craft, iron 

 ballasted, to accommodate five persons, and above all, safe and 

 weatherly, and fit for such seas as are met with between Boston 

 and Grand Menan. After a trial through September and October, 

 in which two very severe gales were encountered, her owner pro- 

 nounces her a complete success in every way. 



As far as model and appearance are concerned a single glance 

 is sufficient to show the great advance over both of the older 

 boats. In proportion to her length she is deeper, of greater dis- 

 placement, and of better model as well, the midship section being 

 radically different, though the easy diagonals of the other boats are. 

 preserved. The widening of the lower part of the boat, above and

includiug the keel, gives much more available space inside in pro- 

 portion to the draft, and at the same time allows plenty of iron 

 ballast to be used. The cabin trunk of the Pilgrim has given 

 place to a flush dock with no less than 5ft. 3in. under the deck- 

 beams, while strength is secured by carrying all but three of the 

 latter across the boat. The length chosen, 28ft. l.w.l., was the 

 least within which could be had two cabins and a forecastle with 

 a berth, but by a verv economical arrangement of the space this 

 has been done, there being five regular berths on board. Owing 

 to her easv form and moderate beam the sail plan is small, a 

 necessity for such fall cruising as she is intended for. Standing 

 midway between the extreme narrow boat and the modern 

 American cutter of great beam and sail area, she is a good repre- 

 sentative of a medium type which affords the maximum of ac- 

 commodation for her length. In appearance, as the designs show,

 for the veteran yachtsmen, Pierre Lorillard, to invent an addi- 

 tional luxury in the shape of a stable to a steam yacht; and the 

 first craft of this description has just been completed under his 

 direction at Pregnall's ship yard in Charleston. The Tuxedo, as 

 the new craft is named, is a scow or flat beat 40ft. long, 14ft. beam 

 and 2ft. draft. The deck is covered with a house, in one end of 

 which are four stalls, and in the other a cabin for three stable- 

 men. There are also quarters for dogs. At the stern is a gang- 

 plank, fitted to raise and lower, by which the horses can he landed 

 almost anywhere. The top of the house is inclosed by a handrail. 

 The scow will be towed astern of Mr. Lorillard's steam yach?. 

 Reva, a rudder being fitted for steering. The boat will be used 

 along the South Carolina coast for hunting rice birds and wood- 

 cock, and may also be taken to Florida during the winter.
