CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 5. -The Cleveland Target Company's 

 monthly shoot was held to-day in conjunction with the East End 

 &tin Chili's regular badge contest. The scores made were not up 

 to the average, owing in a great measure to the weather, which 

 was very windy and rainy. But this did not seem to affect Paul 

 North in the least, as he broke 25 straight, being the second straight 

 score made in the Target Company's series of shoots, and which 

 also entitled him to the club badge. Twenty-live single bluerecks 

 were used at 18yds., and of these but three of the 700 thrown broke 

 in the traps. A number of visitors participated. The scores fol- 

 low:

Our boys would call it very tame business shooting Keystone 

 rules. The idea of a man calling himself a wing shot and facing 

 a trap knowing just the dirsction of his bird. Is that the way 

 grouse get up for you in the brush ? They don't for me.— Wing.

ALLEN TOWN, Pa., Sept. 5.— Our club had its regular shoot to- 

 day at standard targets, and as there was a pretty breeze blowing 

 to-day and some new members shooting, the score made is not 

 what it could be. We recently moved to our present grounds and 

 I dare say that there is probably no better ground in the State if 

 in the United States for having a clear view of the targets as tbey 

 are thrown from the trap; we also changed our targets from clay 

 pigeons to the standard targets, but throw them from bluerook 

 traps:

LARCHMONT Y. C. FALL REGATTA, SEPT. 7. 



THE familiar sight of Ori va at anchor off Larchmont on Satur- 

 day morning, looking clean and bright as when she was last 

 in commission five years ago. recalls forcibly the last races she 

 sailed In Oct., 1884 she had been stripped and laid up in the Sea- 

 wanhakaBasm at Staten Island, Mr. Lee being about to go abroad 

 when the tall regatta of the Seawanhaka C. Y. C. was announced' 

 At the last moment, when it was evident that there would be few 

 entries, and that the race was likely to be a failure, Mr Lee de- 

 cided to put Onva in the race; she was fitted out for racing within 

 24 hours, towed to the Sere wdock and cleaned, sailed the race, and 

 by the evening ot the day following the second race was stripped 

 again; to remain, as it proved, until sold this summer. Once in 

 all that time it was proposed to pat her in commission, in the 

 winter of 1887 ] us t before the last fatal cruise of the Cythera, 

 when Mr. Lee had it in miiid to put her in commission in order to 

 be able to vote in the New York Y. C. against the acceptance of 

 the new deed of gift. It is a pity that there are not more yachts- 

 men like Mr. Lee in the 40ft. and ot ber classes. yaoms 

 What we said last year about the fall regatta at Larchmont 

 might properly be said now; the club did everything to secure 

 good racing, the owners nothing. Besides good money prizes in 

 all classes, the Connor, Gould and Thayer cups were offered but 

 without an entry, save Liris in Class 7, none of the 70ft. class were, 

 present; only Clara, Anaconda and Eleanor were present in Class 

 5, and the entries were correspondingly small in the other classes 

 The schooners Clio, 6Sft., and Azalea, 59ft. 1. w.l., made a class the 

 assuming a larger measurement. 

 There were plenty of forty-footers in harbor, Nymph, Banshee 

 Lotowana and Vandal, but all claimed to be cruisers. Liris' had 

 been prepared specially for this race, much of her gear being 

 heavier, as new topmast, new headsails, and some minor altera- 

 tions, so that she was in better form than in any previous race. 

 She has one leg tor the Thayer cup and was looking tor a second 

 but as no prizes are given for sailovers, she could not start alone. 

 It is a safe principle to give prizes, first, second or third, only 

 when a boat has beaten another; but in cases like this, which are 

 only too frequent, it would only be fair to a man who comes pre- 

 pared to race, at the expense, of time and money, to allow him to 

 sail alone if no ones comes to face him. At least it might be left 

 to the discretion of the regatta committee to offer the prize for a 

 sailover, as m the ease of the American Y. C. this year when 

 Nymph declined to start unless allowed to pick the course. The 

 committee promised Liris a prize for a sailover, whereupon 

 Nymph came to the line. In the present case, with a fine day and 

 good breeze, rather than miss a race entirely Liris made a private 

 sweepstakes with Clara, by which the larger boat allowed 1 ime on 

 the actual measurements of the two, 55 and 42ft., the stakes being 

 $25 each. A similar offer was made dv Liris to Anaconda, but 

 Mr. Prague declined it. The course was around Hempstead and 

 Captain's Island marks, as usual, tne wind being E.S.E. and pretty 

 fresh at the start, though a little lighter at the outer mark. All 

 crossed the line together on port tack, Clara first, followed by Liris. 

 Anaconda was just astern of Liris at the line, but bore away to 

 clear her and then tacked, crossing nearly 2m. later. The start 

 was timed: 



Clara 11 31 01 Culprit Fay 11 34 08 



Liris 11 31 18 Eleanor 11 34 13 



Zelda 11 31 21 Giggle 11 34 27 



Volusia 11 32 09 Clio 11 35 36 



Anaconda , 11 32 59 Azalea 11 36 00 



Fauna 11 33 00 Amazon "fl 36 39 



Dorothy.. 11 33 07 Niamuck 11 38 04 



Alene 11 33 35 Edna , 11 38 15 



Clubtopsails were barred, but the yachts were heeled nearly 

 rail to without them on tjhe reach across to Hempstead. Clara 

 ran away from her rivals and Liris was overtaken by Anaconda 

 just, at the turn, Clara stood by the mark, onlv lacking when 

 well into (he Dung Island shore. Liris turned inside and ahead 

 of Anaconda, both holding port tack, hut the latter soon tacked 

 ceinpe.lling Liris to do Die same. The three were nearly even, 

 Clara ahead and far out to windward, then Anaconda, with Liris 

 under her lee bow. The little cutter bad no sooner trimmed 

 sheets than it was apparent that she was leaving the sloop, in 

 Spite of rgft. length, outfootitig her and holding a good wind. 

 After ten minutes Anaconda was a safe distance astern of Liris, 

 and the little boat was plainly footing with Clara, though the 

 hitter was still well to windward. It, was a close jam for the 

 mark, with the chances that none would make it. Liris was hold- 

 ing a good wind, she and Clara coming nearer together, but when 

 within a half mile of mark the wind eased a little, allowing Clara 

 to fetch without much trouble, Liris came out just at. the mark, 

 being obliged to make a short leg, which cost her considerable 

 time, the wind then being light. The times were: 



Clara 12 51 00 Eleanor . 1 03 30 



Liris 12 55 48 Clio 1 10 55 



Anaconda 13 SB 50 Alene 1 13 to 



Azalea 1 01 05 



Azalea had beaten Clio handsomely on even time, while Liris 

 was within her time of Clara. 



On the reach back with booms to starboard Clara, Anaconda 

 and some of the others set spinakers, but the wind was too far

 to Anaconda. The last leg was also a reach, on the other tack.

The corrected times over the course arc: Liris 3.34.57 Clara 

 3.35.19, Anaconda 2.48.09. 



Liris makes tne best corrected time over the course, beating 

 Clara and both the schooners. In such a breeze her performance, 

 especially on a part of the windward work, is a remarkable one' 

 though after the undeserved abuse that has been heaped on her' 

 owners, and especially on her amateur halsman, by the daily 

 papers it is not surprising that it. has hardly been noticed, most 

 of them crediting the win to Clara. A special race for 10-footer)s 

 is set for Sept. 28, but there is no certainty of it filling. During 

 the race Kathleen came in from Marblehead, having 7 made the 

 run in 59h. sailing time, and 73n. actual time, a good record for 

 30ft. On Sunday Gorilla also arrived from Newport. 



EASTERN Y. C. FALL REGATTA, SEPT. 5. 

 rpHE fall regatta of the Eastern Y. C. on Sept. 5 was open to 40ft 

 X yachts only, there being no chance of other classes filling' 

 After the hard racing for the Weld Cup, five days in ail, there 

 were few forties ready for more racing, and only four started 

 Minerva is now being used by her owner's family, and will prob- 

 ably race no more this season. Helen, Tomahawk and Maraquita 

 have given up for the season; Gorilla had gone to Newport and 

 none of the New York yachts cared to go so far for one race ' The 

 only starters then were Chiquita, sailed by Capt. Crocker; Verena 

 sailed by Mr. Burgess, with Helen's crew on board; Xara sailed 

 by Capt. Sloan; and Alice, sailed by Capt. Smith. Xara was out 

 with a new clubtopsail, jio and balloon foresail. The wind was 

 very light, E.S.E., but at 10 A. M. a tug was sent otit to log off 10 

 knots to windward from Marblehead Rock. The preparatory 

 was given at 11:25, and the start at 11:30, Xara going over first to 

 windward of Verena, Chiquita following the latter. Alice met

Starting on port tack all carried clubs and small jiritopsails 

 Verena drawing ahead, but after a few minutes Xara went on 

 starboard tack. Verena gained on Chiquita, and after a time 

 went on starboard tack, after Xara. When Verena and Chiquita 

 met again in tacking the former crossed the other's bow very 

 easily. Xara had been left in her hunt for flukes, and was well 

 astern of the pair, but at noon the wind favored her, and for a 

 time made her the leading boat, with the other two well to lee 

 ward. This held for a short time and then the wind shifted once 

 more, favoring Verena and Chiquita and leaving Xara becalmed 

 About 1:15 a fresh south wind came up, sending Verena and Chi- 

 quita out to the mark at a good pace, but leaving Xara to lee- 

 ward, while she was the last to get the wind. Verena made the 

 mark, but Xara failed to weather it, and had to make an extra 

 hi tch. The times were: 



Verena 3 01 32 Xara 2 17 OR 



Chiquita 2 06 14 IW 



Verena turned with her balloon jibtopsail set, carrying the sail 

 all the way home. Both Chiquita and Xara set spinakers stav- 

 ing them forward, but they did little good. The wind was' vari 

 able, growing lighter by starts, so that Xara was very badlv 

 beaten. The times were:

The race cannot be taken as a test, the 

 weather being too flulty. Both Minerva and Baboon were out 

 during the race, but under plain sail and with boats in tow The 

 judges were Messrs. C. H. Joy and \V. S. Eaton.

 Wharf to Bell Buoy, leaving it on starboard, thence to buoy 

 moored 5 miles E. by N. from Bell Buoy, thence to buov 5 miles

 outside of all harbor and isiana shore buoys, except those east of 

 Bell Buoy, all course buoys to be left on starboard, finishing line 

 the same as starting line; twice around for first class and once for 

 second. The time allowances were as follows: Oriole allows 

 Verve No. 2 16m. 58s., Aileeu 3m. Aileen allows Verve No 3 13m 

 58s. Verve No. 1 allows Merle 2m. 12s., Cyprus 11m. 58^ ' Merle' 

 allows Cyprus 9m. 46s. Oriole is a schooner of 70ft. lw 1 and 

 Verve No. 2 a cutter of 43ft. 1. w.l. —rather an unequal match 

 Verve was handicapped 6m. 17s. at the start, or she would have 

 saved her time on the schooner. The times were:
