 I BREWER'S BIG RECORD. -John L. Brewer, champion trap- 

 gjhot of America and England, on Thursday, Aug. 8, at Gloucester 

 base ball park, in a match at 100 live pigeons, London 

 jean Club rules, for >fl«) a side, broke the American record bv 

 killing 99 out of 100. His opponent. Win, H. Wolstencroft, the 

 crack shot of the North End Gun Club, withdrew after shooting 

 at 89 birds, of which number he killed 84; this was his first ap- 

 pearance in a match a* live pigeons, but lias long been a superb 

 HJftp shot at inanimates. When each contestant had 11 birds to 

 shoot at to finish the match it was discovered that only that n m- 

 her were m the hampers: a consultation ensued, and Wolstencroft 

 agreed to withdraw, provided the match be continued the next 

 flay, in case Brewer tailed to shoot him out. Brewer killed the 

 losing 11 birds straight, ilius winning the race and breaking the 

 record admirably. The gun editor of the Philadelphia Item of-

greater interest from a racing standpoint, and is less of a strag- 

 gling from port to port, with plenty of fun tret little racing, as in 

 some past years. The large singlestickers have done a great deal 

 since 188o in stirring up the racing on the cruise, usually the first 

 occasion on which all met in racing trim, and though they have 

 disappeared, their influence is still felt. This year the runs from 

 port to port are more of a feature than ever before, making to- 

 gether a most interesting series of races in cruising trimrbut 

 none the less e> citing on that account. The courses are four in 

 number, from New London to Newport, about 38 knots; from New- 

 port to \ ineyard Haven, 37 knots; from Vineyard Haven to New 

 Bedford, 34 knots, and from New Bedford to Newport, 27 knots 

 ^S^ 1 ^ 8 ' kn ? wn , HS tn e squadron trophy cups, are of the value 

 of $100 in each class, being awarded to the yacht making the 

 highest average, in the four runs. The system is the same as that 

 used tor several years by the American Canoe Association in its 

 races. 'I he competing yachts in a class are numbered according to 

 the order of the finish, by corrected time, the winner being 1, the 

 second 2, etc, 5 achts which do not start in anv race will be given 

 a number equal to the greatest number of starters in the class or 

 any run; while yachts which start and do not finish will be given a 

 number equal to the starters in that particular race. The record 

 will be summed up at the end, the cup going to the yacht with 

 the lowest total. An average of four races in this way will give 

 a very fair test, flukes and accidents in any one race being 

 partly eliminated. fe 

 Besides these cruising races there are three special events for 

 u 10 u ■ y acht s will strive and leave nothing undone to win so 

 that the tunes will afford an interesting comparison with those 

 made in cruising trim. The most important of the three is of 

 course the Goelet cup race, for the two cups annually given bv 

 Mr. Ogden Goelet, $1,000 for schooners and $500 for singlestickers 

 lhe other two are for cups to the value of $500, given by the 

 Marsha's Vineyard Association, for races off the Vineyard* and 

 special cups of $250 for the 70ft. class and $150 for the forties 

 given bythe club, to be sailed off Newport at the end of the 

 cruise In addition to these follow the race of the forties for the 

 Carroll Cup and the Corinthian sweepstakes. 

 The complete programme of the race is as follows: 

 Aug. 7— Rendezvous of the fleet at New London. 

 Aug. 8.— Run to Newport, 38 knots, for squadron cruise cups

 Captain Stephens Peabody and the regatta committee, Messrs 

 S. Nicholson Kane, W. E. Iselin and Chester Griswold on board 

 After a Pleasant run through the Sound, the flagship dropped her 

 anchor off the Pequot House, at New London, at 5 P M in the 

 midst of a fleet of over 100 yachts. The fleet is a noble one in- 

 cluding the handsome steam yacht Alva on one hand, and from 

 her every variety ot yacht down to the crack forties. Among the 

 large boats tie new and handsome schooner Constellation 

 claimed first place by virtue of her size and appearance while 

 the Burgess fisherman Fredonia and Mr. Bryant's Alert w^re ob- 

 jects of considerable m erest. The big sloops were entirely un- 

 represented, neither Volunteer nor Puritan being in commission 

 but the remains of several were haunting the scenes of their past 

 glories all under schooner rig. Klma, once Priscilla. Mayflower 

 and Atlantic are all wit Ii the fleet. The racing contingent is 

 made up as follows, many only entering for the squadron cups 

 and not for the Goelet or Vineyard Haven cups:

Among the New York yachts were a number of the Eastern 

 Y -P'? e ^' , the burgess forties, Awa of Providence and Verena- 

 and the McVey boats, Alice and Helen. 



At a meeting of captains on board the flagship in the evening 

 the programme as given above was adopted, subject to the 

 weather, and it was decided to make an early start for Newport 

 next morning, going outside of Fisher's Island, instead of the 

 usual course inside. During the evening the fleet and the houses 

 on shore were illuminated, the Pequot House making a handsome 

 display ot lanterns. A drum and fi te corps on board a six-oared gig 

 rowed through the fleet and gave some very stirring concerted 

 music. 



New London to Newport, First Run, Aug. 8. 

 Thursday morning was clear and bright, with a very light 

 northerly wind. Some of the yachtsmen were astir early and out 

 of the harbor 111 good season, but, others counted on delay on the 

 part of the committee, and very deservedly were left, a number 

 being handicapped. A number of yachts made an early start 

 through Fisher's Island Sound, leaving fortv-nine to start in the 

 race. The flagship was off the start, near Leo Flower Beacon at 

 9 A. M., and at 9:33 the starting gun for the first division, all under 

 fourth class schooners and fourth class sloops and cutters was 

 fired. Clio was first over, followed by Gorilla, but half the fleet 

 was handicapped. Liris fared very badly, being handicapped bv 

 17m„ which brought her just ahead of the large craft of the 

 second division, which started at 9:58. Many had carried soina- 

 kers to starboard out of the harbor, but the wind had died out 

 before the schooners reached the line. Dauntless, as usual was 

 in trouble, nearly fouling Fortuna at the line. The times at the 

 start were:

The wind had come in light from the east by the time' that the 

 fleet was well past Race Rock, all working along on starboard 

 tack. Grayling soon ran well ahead, holding close in shore and 

 wasting nothing in distance all day. Constellation was doing 

 well in the very light air considering her size. Gorilla was mak- 

 ing the most of a very good start, and headed the fleet for a long 

 time, until the schooners passed her. Sachem managed to hang 

 dangerously close to Grayling and at one time had a very good 

 chance to lead her in but threw it away. Clara, after a late 

 start, ran through the fleet, and before Point Judith was reached 

 she was the windward boat, out to south and east of ail but 

 when at last a southerly breeze came in and spinakers were set 

 to starboard she was far astern of Grayling and the rest in shore 

 Marguerite sailed faster than she has ever done before but failed 

 to save ber time off OSuone. The wind was flukv, in patches here 

 and there, and slutting in direction all day, so that it was no fair 

 test of any of the yachts. In the 70ft. class Katrina outsailed 

 Titania and both Fanny and Grade beat Bedouin. Clara easilv 

 beat her own class, including her old rival, Cinderella, and also 

 the class above her, being little astern of Hildegarde on even timn 

 In the forties Gorilla led all day, hut Liris, starting with a hand!' 

 cap of 17m., passed Lotowana, Awa, Peri and Nymph in sucees 

 sion, comma; up with Maraquita off Chaiiestown Beach The ia't 

 ter was carrying a large balloon jib, not a jibtopsail, but a iib 

 hoisted to the masthead and set about 6ft. in from the bowsnrit 

 end, reaching aft to the mast. This sail did good work in the 

 light air, but Liris finally passed her, and when spinakers were 

 set off Point Judith was a little ahead. Maraquita soon crawled 

 up abeam, and for three miles there was a very pretty race each 

 in turn drawing ahead a little. Liris finally ran ahead, finishing 

 first by a minute, but losing second place on allowance. She had 

 made up all but 3J4m. of Gorilla's lead at the start of 191am 

 Peri beat Nymph and Lotow^ana in, but by a mistake she was 

 not timed, the official times were:
