Auburn Gun Club. 



Auburn, N. Y., Jan. 4.— On Thursday, Dec. 31, occurred the first 

 of a series of three matches between the Auburn Gun Club and 

 the Onondaga County Sportsmen's Club, of Syracuse. This 

 match was shot on the Auburn ground?. Teams of 20 men each, 

 20 single kingbirds, 5 tr-.p?, unknown angles. Wm. A. White, 

 pies dent of the Auburn Club was chosen referee, aud B. J.Hoyt, 

 of Weedsport, acted as scorer. The birds were a pretty hard lot 

 to hit, being low and swift ana the angles sharp. The race was 

 stubbornly ( ontestested throughout, each man being determined 

 to hold his opponent down if possible. How successful they were 

 is shown by the appended score, which wins the Tace for Auburn 

 by three birds. The second match will be shot in Syracuse, Thurs- 

 day, Jan. 14:

INSTRUCTION IN NAVAL ARCHITECTURE.— Through the 

 liberality of Mr. A. J. Drexel, a magnificent "Institution of Art, 

 Science and Industry" has Veen built and endowed in Philadel- 

 phia and was formally opened last month. The courses of in- 

 struction, for girl3 and young women, for boys and young men, 

 are most elaborate and complete, thelonglist including modelling, 

 sculpture, free hand and model drawing, oil and watercolor paint- 

 ing, designing, chemistry, physics, practical woodwork, ironwork, 

 machine construction, mathematics, mechanical drawings, ele- 

 mentary economics, wood carving, photography, electric engineer- 

 ing, house decoration and designing, cooking, book keeping, milli- 

 nery and dress-making, bouse planning and ventilation; in short, 

 all branches of artistic, scientific and technical education — save 

 one. In the entire list of subjects there is not the remotest, hint 

 of naval architecture or even elementary instruction in ship 

 drafting. 



While this omission might < xcite no remark if it were Denver 

 or Omaha in place of Philadelphia; in the metropolis of the "Am- 

 erican Clyde," the great center of American ship building it is a 

 most striking commentary on the neglect which naval architec- 

 ture has experienced in this country. That even e'ementary in- 

 struction would not be entirely superfluous along the Dela ware 

 is fully demonstrated by some, though by no means al l, of the ves- 

 sels built there in recent years. We have heard on reliable 

 authority of one of the largest and most recent of the fleet of 

 American river palaces, a'vessel whose engines, cabin decoration 

 and electrical installation are of the fineEt; but which is carrying 

 100 tons of pig iron stowed in one end to keep her near the proper 

 waterline. Day after day throughout tbe whole year this worse 

 than useless load is carried back and forth over a distance of 

 several hundred miles, no one caring or daring to count, the cost 

 of such a serious blunder. On t of the millions spent in the cause 

 of education in this great country each year, it is safe to say that 

 not five thousand dollars goes toward instruction in naval archi- 

 tecture or ship designing. 



NEW YACHTS.— Rumors are afloat of one and possibly two 

 more 46-footers from the Herreshoff shops, also several of the new 

 fin keel racers of 25 and 35ft. As long as it, is the fashionable fad 

 to preserve as much useless nonsense and mystery as possible 

 about the ownership of new yachts— both designer and builder 

 being sworn to secrecy before an order is placed— the verification 

 or contradiction of such rumors entails an amount of skilled and 

 patient detective work which is as unpleasant as it is unprofit- 

 able, the majority of the midwinter crop of new yachts never get- 

 ting mu h further than the pencil stage on the drawing hoard. 

 It is probable now that one or two new boats besides the Rogers 

 craft will be added to the 46fr. class, and that other yachtsmen 

 will join Mr. Morgan in the 35ft. cless before spring; while several 

 hoats will he added to the 35ft. c.l. class about, New York. If those 

 owners who have really decided to build are ou* for sport, in a 

 well-filled class, aud are not merely lying back in I he hopes of 

 having the only uew boat, and scooping the prizes from an out- 

 built class, they will benefit both their own and the general inter- 

 ests by announcing their intentions in such season that others 

 may be induced to build for the cla^ss.
