FOREST AND STREAM 



[July 3, 1890. 



CHICAGO, 111.. June 28.— Mr. H. A. Penrose, of the Keystone 

 Target Co., was in town yesterday on legal business connected 

 with the Peoria Oo.'s infringement suits, out of which it is hoped 

 some sort of a,u adjustment, may come. It is understood here 

 that the Keystone Co. has bought out the Standard Co. New de- 

 velopments in the target world are likely this year. The enter- 

 prising secretary of the Grand Calumet Heights Club is out with 

 a neat invitation to the Fourth of July entertainment of that 

 club, which will include a rifle eon test for the Jenuey & Graham 

 rifle, a trap-shoot for the gold medal which the secretary, Mr. 

 Geo. E. Marshall, has offered for a handicap competition, and a 

 lot of fireworks. There will be a fine time for everybody, and 

 doubtless a large portion of the membership of that active young 

 club will be cm hand. The election of officers for the ensuing year 

 was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel. June 25, and resulted as fol- 

 lows: A. W. Harlan, President; F. R. Bissell. Vice-President; W. 

 Metcalf, Treasurer: Geo. E. Marshall, Secretary ; Directors, Wm. 

 L. Pierce, Samuel Booth, L. L. Davis, L. J. Marks. 



HOME TALENT.— Tim Richmond Gun Club of Michigan gives 

 a tournament July 8 to 10, with over $"00 in guaranteed prizes, 

 etc. "It is for Michigan men only," says the programme, and in 

 explanation it is said: "We have made, this tournament open to 

 Michigan men only, for following reasons: If you will glance 

 over the scores in all the large open tournaments held in this 

 Stale during the last two years, you will find that professional 

 shooters from other States have carried off the lion's share of the 

 money. A large majority of Michigan shooters have learned to 

 keen away from tournaments where professionals congregate. 

 Under these circumstances we believe that we can have a larger 

 attendance, and that all will be better satisfied if they do not 

 have to stand in line with the crack shots of the day. Michigan 

 has few (if any) professional shooters; so to the business man, 

 and all who love to press the trigger occasionally for the sport 

 there is in it, with a chance to win, we extend to you a cordial 

 i nvitation to attend." 



WELLINGTON, Mass., June 28.— The merchandise match of the 

 Wellington Gun Club closed to-day with the following scores: 

 Sanborn 18, Bowker and George 17, Chase J 6, Dodge, Hooper, Ben- 

 nett, Bond and Perry 14, Bradstreet, Walker and Shumway 13, 

 Cowee, Dill and Porter 12. The winners for the month were: 

 Bond first with 49, Bennett and Sandborn second, 48; Bradstreet 

 and Chase third, 45; Porter fourth, 38. These scores were made 

 out of a possible CO.

THE spring regatta of the lanthe C, C. was held from the club 

 house on the Passaic River, June 14. A number of guests, 

 including manv ladies, were present. The weather was anything 

 but desirable for canoeing, it being very hot and the wild very 

 light from the S.W. Shortly after the start of the sailing race a 

 . severe thunder storm came up and lasted during the remainder of 

 the afternoou. in consequence of which the sailing maneuvering 

 and upset, the sailing and paddling combined, and the hurry- 

 scurry races were called off . 



The paddling races were straightaway over a course about half 

 a mile long, and the sailing race over a triangular course about 

 a mile and a half around. , . , .... „ _

A MAY CRUISE IN CANADA. 



FRIDAY, May 23 saw thirty-three membprs of the Lake Saint 

 Louis C. C, of Lachine, at the Grand Trunk depot en route 

 to Huntington, with two baggage cars loaded with canoes, which 

 place is situated sixty-five miles away on the Chateaugay River. 

 1 cannot adequately describe this delegation; one. would have to 

 meet them on their journey to appreciate fully the different qual- 

 ities possessed by this party; we had people to suit every body's 

 taste, and it is really impossible to single out each individual. 

 But as many of our boys, unlike their American cousins, have not 

 names for their canoes, I will in some cases where members 

 brought themselves into prominence have to give the sur-names, 

 and the first will be our highly esteemed commodore, Alex. W. 

 Morris, who at the last moment, owing to a business engagement, 

 was unable to go with us, which left the party in charge of the 

 vice, Geo. Auldjo. We gave the people on the train an imitation 

 of a few fellows enjoying themselves, by dressing up in our nigger 

 costumes intended for the concert that evening. At every station 

 as the train pulled up crowds of people were on hand to welcome 

 us, and indeed so thoroughly had the local press advertised our 

 trip that all the way down the river people were on the. banks to 

 see us pass. 



On arriving at Huntingdon a brass band was on hand and es- 

 corted us down to Mrs. Moir's hotel, where, having put away our 

 canoes and thanked the band, we retired for supper. The concert 

 that evening 1 do not think was a complete success, owing, I may 

 fairly sav, not to any fault of ourp, but simply to the wretched 

 taste of the audience. Those in the upper part of the house were 

 continually setting oil firecrackers. Of course, these people were 

 not expected to behave any better or know anything, but the mis- 

 erable, ignorance of the balance of the audience, who laughed 

 when there was no jest whatever, a.nd at times when there really 

 was occasion for a laugh did not even smile, shows the class of 

 people we were performing before. As an example, Percy Bar- 

 clay, a reciter of no mean repute, gave them '"The Bells," which 

 many times, before more enlightened audiences iu Montreal, has 

 been very well received, but here was laughed at, and when he 

 gave them a parody on an Italian opera, 1 really believe they 

 thought him crazy. Later on in the programme Messrs. Kirkhouse 

 (those at the '89 meet will remember him), White and Hamilton 

 gave most comical illustrations; no one in the audience laughed. 

 Now, in the face of this, who could try to give an entertainment 

 to the people of Huntingdon. 



Next morning the working part of our cruise began, and having 

 been reinforced by four members of the Saint Hyacinthe C. C. 

 and three more of our own men, two of whom drove 18 miles to 

 join us, we started at 8 o'clock for Ormstown, with our Rear-Corn. 

 Sydney P. Howard and S. Jackson as whippersin. An enterprising 

 photographer took our photos just after leaving, but I am afraid 

 they will not be a success, as the current was swift and 17 is a 

 large number of canoes to take at once. Before we had gone three 

 miles, word was sent from the rear that the first mishap had oc- 

 curred, the crew of the Maud bad their first river dip for 1800. 

 They weut over and could not explain how. After going a few 

 miles further we stopped for a game of baseball, and which side 

 won no one can tell, the umpire making bis escape during a dis- 

 pute which broke up the game. Ahout 11 o'clock, as we were ap- 

 proaching a very dangerous rapid, imagine our surprise to see, on 

 a high bit of land, a most elaborate luncheon spread out on a 

 table by the ladies of Dewittville. I cannot thank these good peo- 

 ple enough for their kindness to us. To entertain them we gave 

 banjo and violin solos, songs, etc., and to show what we could do 

 in our canoes, one member in the Marion L. and two in the Paul- 

 ine ran over the dam, which has a fall of about 5ft. They both 

 passed the dam in safety, but the Marion L. ran on a rock below 

 tho rapids and swamped. 



The rapids below here again are the ones full of rocks and very 

 swift, the current running 12 miles per hour, and here our first 

 casualty occurred, the water course is very narrow, and one large 

 rock in" the center awaits your arrival and invites you to call, and 

 unless vou have good luck you certainly will spend a few 

 moments there, as three of our canoes d id. One had a hole stove 

 in about Sin. square; we had to cut up the foot boards, get putty 

 and nails, and patch the break. 



After leaving Ormstown about 4 o'clock we had a run of 17 

 miles to Saint Marline, and each man knew it behooved him to ex- 

 ert himself to get there before dark and not to jolly along as we 

 had been doing in the earlier part of the dav. 



At seven that evening we arrived at St. Martine, the proprietor 

 of the hotel having lighted a bon-fire and brought a host of friends 

 to welcome us. Some of the boys terrified the " habitans " by 

 dressing up in fancy costumes and parading not only the streets, 

 but the houses also, and two went to bed with Ethiopian counte- 

 nances, much to their own discomfort and to the chagrin of the 

 proprietor when he beheld his beds in the morning. We had the 

 comfort of sleeping 37 young people iu 5 bedrooms, to rest not— 

 "Hushed by buzzing night-flies to his slumber"— 



No, by jove. they had no room. 



Next morning, after helping the niggers get their normal color, 

 we started for Chateaugay aud before a fair wind made good 

 progress, which was enlivened by a goose bunt, the vice commo- 

 dore capturing the bird- After going a few miles further some one 

 asked" for a drink, and when that occurred we generally got 8 or 10 

 canoes together and compared notes. While doing this, a happy 

 thought struck some one to hoist, a sail in the center and all join 

 in a row and sail down. Imagine a prettier sight if you can thau 

 17 canoes abreast and sailing down a peaceful river with each 

 man in a colored flannel coat; with a few songs to enliven the 

 scene, it reminded one of the words: 



"And the health -seeker findeth there 

 The wine of life in the pleasant air." 



But all good things have an end, aud a few miles down a mill- 

 dam makes us separate. 



We have now reached our last rapids, and in these the Coquette 

 came to grief , knocked a hole in her which we patched up all 

 right. Our rear commodore had an experience in these rapids; 

 on entering the waves he did not see a large rock, and before he 

 knew it was broadside on, with his bow up stream. Quick as 

 thought he and his mate turned in their canoe and paddled down 

 stern foremost. It was the best piece of canoeing I ever saw, had 

 they not done so their canoe would have been broken to pieces. 



In a few moments Chateauguay Village was reached, and after 

 gathering the party together we left for the basin, three miles 

 below, where a separation took place. We had to cross here a 

 lake about five or six miles wide, and it was blowing a gale of 

 wind. Some went by stage to Caugnawaga and walked over the 

 bridge, others stayed at the basin all night, but it is of those who 

 crossed in canoes that I would speak, and none of them would go 

 through it again for any money. . , *_ a .. * ■ *. 



Coquette left the shore to head for an island, but found it too 

 rough to land, and were forced to cross; their experience was 

 terrible, one having to paddle aud the other bail all the time. 

 Buntie got half way across, swamped, and her crew were saved 

 by the lightship keeper. Pauline and two others reached shore 

 with their crews in an exhausted condition and walked some two 

 miles to Lachine. The balance of the party got home next morn- 

 ing, and even then found the sea very high, but take it all in all 

 there is not one who would not have liked to start the same trip 

 over again on the following Friday. Marion L., A. C. A. 966. 



TORONTO C. O, JUNE 21. 



ON Saturday the spring regatta of the Toronto C. O. was held 

 at the Island - Park and was numerously attended, a large 

 proportion Of the visitors being ladies, who gave an additional 

 charm to the day's proceedings. Seven events were contested 

 for. The course was a half mile and return. Tho first event, 

 tandem, the two boats which started held perhaps the four best 

 paddlers in the club, and opinion was considerably divided as to 

 the probable winners. H. Wright and M. F. Johnson were one 

 team and Tilley and De-la-fosse the other. The first named won 

 the toss and chose the inside course. Tilley aud De-la-i'osse got 

 the best of the start and led by about half a length for ashort dis- 

 tance, but at their first change they lost the lead and never re- 

 gained it. Wright and Johnson were putting in some powerful 

 strokes, and turned their buoy nearly two lengths ahead of Tilley 

 and De-la-fosse who steered a bad course, having made for the 

 wrong buoy. Wright and Johnson, however, had great difficulty 

 in straightening out, and when they had succeeded in doing so, 

 they steered too close in, the result being thn.t Tilley and De-la- 

 fosse closed up. Then a hard race for about 80yds. resulted, but 

 after that Wright snd Johnson moved clean away from their op- 

 ponents and won easily by three or four lengths, Tilley aud De-la- 

 fosse giving up near the finish. 



The next event was the decked paddling race for which there 

 were three starters: Matheson, A. M. Rice, and W. Sparrow. 

 Matheson secured the lead at the start. Sparrow second, and Rice 

 third. Ii was a close race between Matheson arjd Sparrow to the 

 buoys, with Rice practically out of the race. On the run home 

 Matheson took the lead, both he and Sparrow being very tired. 

 About alOOyds. from the finish Matheson stopped to fix his rudder, 

 and Sparrow took the lead. About 20yds. from the finish Sparrow- 

 led by half a length, but Matheson was using every ounce, and 

 gradually crept upon Sparrow till about 3yds. from tho finish his 



canoe was sent ahead, and he was given the race by about 4ft. 

 Time 7.19. This was the closest race of the day, and created much 

 excitement. 



The singles was the next event, and Johnston won this easily at 

 the finish, the other starters being De-la-fosse and Hackburn. A t 

 the start Hackburn got a good lead, De-la-fosse being second, 

 and Johnston third. The last-named paddled standing, but having 

 started with a short paddle he had to discard it for a longer one, 

 losing two lengths doing so. Ho quickly sot to work to cut down 

 the load the others had gained, but at the turn De-la-fosse was 

 first. Hackburn in turning upset his canoe, and was then out of 

 the race. Johnston and De-la-fosse were about on level terms 

 shortly after turning the buoys, and for about 100yds. it was a 

 great race between them. Johnston then forged rapidly ahead 

 and came in a winner. Dc-la-fosse stopping 20yds. from the finish. 

 Time, 5.10. 



There were only two entries for the fours, the crews being, 

 Johnston, Hackburn, Morse, Wright, stroke; Jacques, Elgie, 

 Rogers, Tilley, stroke. Wright's crew had the best of the start by 

 a length. Tilley's canoe crept, up on Wright's, and the two were 

 on fairly level terms till the turn, Wright turning first. About 

 100yds. from the finish Wright put on a fast stroke and easily 

 drew away from the other boat, Wright's canoe winning easily by 

 six or seven lengths. Time, 5:25. 



The next event, the hurry-scurry, had more fun in it than any- 

 thing else. The conditions were: Run 100yds., swim 30yds. to 

 their canoes, get in the best way they could and paddle to finish. 

 It was won easily by De-la-fosse, whoso swimming ability gave 

 him a long start over the others. Sparrow was second. 



The handicap tandems had six starters, and it ended in a win 

 for Johnston and Kelly, Brown and Iredale being second, time 

 6:27. 



The last race was the sailing upset, and it was won by W. Lee, 

 W. Sparrow again getting second. 



Of the seven events Johnston started in four, the tandems, 

 singles, fours and handicap tandems, and got first in each. W. 

 Sparrow got three seconds.

ROCHESTER C. C. WILSON CUP. 



THE second race for the Wilson Cup was sailed on Thursday 

 last, June 26. The starting gun was fired at 4:37 P. M. Marie 

 started first, and secured a long lead, but was overhauled by Polly 

 Wiggle, Surprise and Massawippa before turning the first buoy. 

 The turn was made in the following order : Marie, Polly Wiggle, 

 Surprise, Massawippa, Midget and Toodles, not over 15s. apart. 

 Ou the run down the wind Massawippa passed Surprise and Polly 

 Wiggle, but was in turn headed bv Polly Wiggle at the buoy. 

 The second round was close and exciting, all the. canoes being in a 

 bunch and a very hard and gusty wind having sprung up. It was 

 a see-saw all the way up, first one then another having the lead. 

 The buoy was turned by Marie first, followed by Polly Wiggle, 

 Surprise, Midget and Massawippa; Toodles withdrew. 



On the run down the wind to the second buoy Massawippi cap- 

 sized and withdrew. The buoy being turned by Polly Wiggle, 

 Marie and Surprise, in the order named, with Midget hopelessly 

 in the rear, it was still anybody's race, there only being 14s. be- 

 tween the nrst and third boats, and lm. between the third and 

 fourth; but on the run to the home buoy Marie forged ahead, 

 crossing the line lm. ahead of Polly Wiggle and Surprise, Sur- 

 prise being obliged to luff across the line, thereby losing to Polly 

 Wiggle. The times were as follows: 1st 2d
