FOREST AND STREAM. 



SINGLE-H ANDERS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: „ , 



I notice "Cayuga" is out again with a, rejoinder to my letter. T< ar be 

 it from me to have even the ghost of an ill-natured difference with so 

 enthusiastic and veteran a sportsman and cruiser— he is both of 

 these, wiiile I am cruiser only— hence the difference in our ideas and 

 boats. 



I willingly concede the good points of his "spoonbill." The red rag- 

 he hung out was his not being able to sen the advantage of the 

 "spoontail" over the square stern, and his holding that there was 

 some extra difficulty in handling the last, which I cannot admit. I 

 hope to raDge alongside of "Cayuga" some day, outsail him and 

 reach camp happy. He will haul his boat ashore and pitch his camp 

 while I have to remain afloat or ask his assistance, which will make 

 him in his turn happy, and each will retire to sleep in the full convic- 

 tion which every well-regulated sailor man should have, that his own 

 is the snuggest," handiest craft that floats or (in his case) lies on the 

 beach. Henry K. Wicksteed.

JERSEY CITY C. C. 



AT the annual meeting, on Feb. 3, of the Crescent C. C, of Green- 

 ville, N. J., the name was changed to the Jersey City C. C and 

 the following officers were elected: Com.. W. H. Hillier; Vice-Corn., 

 E. W. Edinger; Sec'y-Treas., W. T. Markham, Hudson Co. R. R. 

 Building, Hoboken, N. J. The new club house will be ready in April, 

 and a regatta will be held on May 30. Mr. C. J. Pockman, an amateur 

 builder and member of the club, has decided to take up canoe build- 

 ing as a business, and will open a shop shortly. 



BEAM VS. SLIDING SEATS. —Before the autumn meeting of the 

 R.O.C. came on last year we suggested the advisability of allowing 

 an iucrease of beam to first class canoes, under certain conditions, 

 and with the ••advance of time" and the foreshadows of the near 

 future, we are still of the same opinion. The "conditions" appear 

 in several quarters — even in America— not to be clearly hoisted in. 

 We suggested a complete clear out from present minor and vexa- 

 tious limitations and the introduction of a simple rule of maximum 

 and minimum limitation of length, breadth and depth; a limit of 

 rating (Y.R.A.), and the conditions that sliding deck seats may be 

 used in canoes of or under 30in. beam, the limit of beam where no 

 sliding seat is used may be 30in. Whether 3in. extra beam, per side, 

 without use of a sliding seat, would ever be level with, or superior to, 

 a 30iu. beam canoe with a long sliding seat, is a problem which can 

 only be answered by several seasons of experiment. Taking ordinary 

 moderate weather for eight or ten matches, then undoubtedly the 

 16ft. by 30in. canoe with sliding seat would have the pull. The 

 equally day, or the gale, would give a chance to the 36iM, non-slider. 

 If the two concessions, sliding seats to 30in. boats and 6in. extra beam 

 to non-sliders, are of equal value, nobody is harmed and no vested 

 interest is killed. If the extra beam proves of less value for racing 

 than does the sliding seat still less real objection can, or ought to be, 

 raised by racing men to a movement wnich is in favor oC cruising 

 requirements of many men, and which tends to simplify the cassifl- 

 cation rules. — Field.

AMATEUR REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



Onk competition in the matches now progressing for the Ama- 

 teur Revolver Championship of America and the possession of th< 

 Winans trophy emblematic thereof, bas already been held in Bos- 

 ton, and another has been announced for the shots of the same 

 city. 



On the evening of Feb. 5 Mr. Sumner Paine shot in the gallery 

 of the Boston Athletic Association. He is a member of the asso- 

 ciation, and had been very active in trying to secure a representa- 

 tion of Boston's crack small-ami workers on the roll of competi- 

 tion for championship honors. Owing to the inability of many 

 to be present, another evening was set, and Feb. 17 selected. If 

 Boston gentlemen wishing to compete will communicate with Mr. 

 Paine, at the Athletic Association rooms, on Exeter street, or to 

 Mr. Chas. A. Bramble, of the Boston Herald, due provisions will 

 be made for their accommodatiou on that evening. As Feb. 17 is 

 also the regular pistol and rifle competition day at Walnut Hill 

 Range, it has been proposed to give a chance for those who might 

 prefer to make an open-air score, and Secretary H. S. Harris has 

 promised his hearty co-operation in fixing matters for any who 

 might wish to make a score in this way, on that day. A Forest 

 and Stream representative will be present with targets, etc,' 

 sufficient for all comers.
