 Club, of Red Bank, and the Central Gun Club, of Long Branch.

 their shooting was superior to that of the opposition team, and 

 they won with a score of 01 killed out. of a possible 80, the Long 

 Branch team scoring 56. The birds were swift and strong flyers, 

 and few of them were incomers. American Association rules

 irds to each man. Dr. Edward Taylor, of the Midway Gun Club, 

 Mattawan, acted as referee. The scorers were Edward L. Pitchf r,

 grounds of the Riverside Club on Tuesday, May 20. 



FijEMINGTON. N. J., April 25. -The repeatedly postponed 

 match between the White House and Flemington gun club3 took 

 place to-day. It rained of course, as it has for live successive 

 Fridays, but the boys decided to go this time, rain or shine. The 

 afternoon proved good enough for shooting, however, yet the 

 White House boys couldn't "get there," for they were most dis- 

 astrously defeated by the Flemington team. Evidently it was a 

 clear case of want of practice; some of the men had not fired a 

 gun since February, and none of them were in any condition to 

 shoot in a team race. The Flemington boys have a nice new club 

 house and ate cool and steady shooters and gentlemanly withal, 

 requiring a strong team to defeat them. They have promised to 

 return the visit soon, when it is hoped the home team will be in 

 a better condition to meet them Following are the scores, 25 

 bluerocks, 16vds. rise, 3 traps, unknown angles: 



White House Gun Club. Flemington Gun Club.

CLAREMONT SHOOTING ASSOCIATION, May 3.-A large 

 number of shooters were on the grounds to-dav, and some of them 

 were blazing away when your correspondent left at 5:30 P.M. 

 The accessibility of these grounds is an attraction that offsets the 

 poor background and many take advantage of the late trains 

 (even as late as 4:15) to run over and shoot a score. The amateur 

 contingent contemplate forming a kind of club among themselves 

 and will have merchandise prizes as well as medals to shoot for. 

 Those who prefer more lively shooting the onen-for-all events 

 affords all the opportunity desired. The 50 cents entrv to-day 

 includes birds. Keystone rules, 10 singles, 50 cent s entrv, 10 events:

MARION, N. J. , May 1.— Judging from the large gathering of 

 sportsmen at the Jersey City Heights Gun Club grounds, Marion, 

 N. J., this afternoon, it was evident that no little interest hung 

 over the live-bird match betweon Gus Freche and A. L. Harrison, 

 both of Newark. The conditions were 50 birds each, Hurlingham 

 rules, for $150 a side. After a short debate John Ricketts, of 

 Rockaway, N, J., and a member of the Middlesex Gun Club, was 

 accepted as referee. Freche used a Sco< t 10-gauge gun, weighing 

 SJ^lbs., and stood at the 28yds. mark: Harrison had a Smith 12- 

 gauge gun, weighing 7J4lbs., and had to concede 3yds. As the 

 men faced the traps the betting was 5 to 3 on Harrison, and when 

 25 birds were disposed of it remained the same. A little later it 

 was even up, and toward the close Freche had the call at 5 to 3. 

 The weather was all that could be wished for in the earlier part 

 of the contest, and although the birds were strong flyers they met 

 their demise. When about two-thirds over a squall came up. 

 Freche was the more experienced of the two, and while his 

 younger opponent got "rattled" he was sturdy to the end, and 

 won Sy a narrow margin. The scores: 



Harrison - 11011111111111011101111001111111110010100001010111-36

WELLINGTON GUN CLUB— On Wednesday, April 30, a tour- 

 nament was held on the club grounds. Early is. the morning the 

 grass in the immediate vicinity of the house caught fire, and 

 when the shooters arrived the atmosphere was in rather poor 

 shape for first-class scores. Notwithstanding this drawback a 

 fine day's shooting was enjoved. During the afternoon a match 

 was shot between the Jamaica Plain Club and the Wellington 

 Club, 5 men on a team and 20 birds to a man. The contest was 

 for the possession of ihe amateur team badge of the State Glass 

 Bali Association. The score below shows +he result of the match: 

 Jamaica Plain Team. Wellington Team.

 There was a moderate attendance at the weeklv shoot of the 

 club, Saturday. May 3. A strong southwest wind made high 

 scores the exception lather than the rule. Toe merchandise 

 match for May was begun on this day, 10 singles and p..irs blue- 

 rocks; 15 was the highest score placed on record, as the doubles 

 pulled the scores down, they being rather hard to secure. The 

 weekly shoot on the grounds will be omitted the coming week, as 

 the club propose making quite extensive improvements on the 

 house and grounds, which will take some two weeks to complete.

THE NEW YACHTS OF 1 SQO. 



THE accompanying list of new yachts of 1890 offers an interest- 

 ing field for study to all who are interested in the advance- 

 ment of American yachting; and especially to those who, as 

 officers of the yacht clubs, have in their hands the moulding of 

 the future fleet. The list has been made as complete as possible, 

 but in some eases builders have neglected to reply to inquiries. 

 We will be glad to receive notice of any errors or omissions. The 

 steam launch from 60ft. downward, including the naphtha craft, 

 has become so common, being used for cruising, hunting and 

 mixed purposes of pleasure and trade in all parts of the country, 

 that no complete list is possible. We have included some of the 

 larger craft of this class built purely for pleasure use, but the 

 list by no means represents the amouut of building in this 

 direction. While some errors and omissions are unavoidable 

 in a list which embraces the entire country, they are of small 

 amount, the list including every yacht of note, aud the dimen- 

 sions being very nearly correct; sothatthe list is the best possible 

 index of th« present condition of vachlmg. In one way the liKt is 

 disappointing, the glowing anticipations of last fall have not been 

 realized; the two or three 90ft. schooners, the new seventies, the 

 five new 53ft. craft to beat Clara, and the host, of new forties, have 

 not materialized. Racing is the pulse, of yachting, plenty of good 

 boats, plenty of new boats, and plenty of racing in the coast fleet, 

 means an active season in all parts of the country, with an in- 

 creased interest in yachting as a national sport. 



The list of new racers is rather meagre, far behind last year, 

 but at the same time, probably as a consequence of the lively lac- 

 ing then, there das b^en a fair amount of building throughout the 

 country at large, and at the same time a general improvement in 

 design in the small local fleets. Comparing the present list with 

 that of 1SS0, we find a total of 95 yachts this year to 71 last season; 

 the sailing-craft being 68 and 52, % nd the steam 27 and 19 respec- 

 tively. The fleet of 1889 included, with several boats ado-ed that 

 were built after the list, appeared, 3 racing schooners of 106, 90 and 

 65ft.; 3 cutters of 45ft.; 10 new forties and 5 new thirties, a total of 

 21 new racing yachts. How the present fleet compares wi th this 

 is best seen by a look at what is not being built. 



In the large size of schooners, either racing, cruising or both 

 combined, nothing has been done, and there is little activity in tbe 

 old boats, a number of them not intending to fit out. With each 

 successive season the line between the cruiser and the racer is 

 widening, and even now there is no place for new boats such as 

 the schooners of half a dozen years ago, Fortuna and Montauk for 

 instance. It is either worth while to build and rig a vessel for 

 speed with little regard for other considerations, or to content one 

 self with a real cruiser, as fast as may be but not a racer. As long 

 as schooners exist, the annual New York Y. C. cruise is certain to 

 bring out more or less racing among the big fellows (this year leES 

 rather than more), and ocean matches are likely to oe sailed now 

 and then; but the days for big fleets and hot racing through the 

 season in schooners of over 90ft. have gone by in this country t 

 they have in England. Steam, with its luxury and convenience, 

 has made serious inroads on the schooner fleet. The steamer is 

 fashionable and the schooner is no longer so, and those who once 

 used large schooners as showy and expensive house boats have 

 nearly all gone into steam. 



Even in the class where competition still exists, the class of Sea 

 Fox, Merlin, Sachem, Grayling and Mayflower, there is little life 

 and vitality in the racing; no new yachts have been built and the 

 racing promises to be but tame compared with the last three or 

 1 four years, what there is being confined to Boston. The only ad-
