FOREST AND STREAM. 



Park CommissioBers for a boat house suitable for at least 45 models, 

 the basis of the petition being:, that a new drive has been constructed, 

 to be thrown open to the public this season, passing: as it does be- 

 tween the present quarters and the launching float, necessitating the 

 crossing of this drive to reach the latter, thereby endangering the 

 lives of horsemen and those driving in carriges by the slatting in the 

 wind of the rails of the yachts as they are transported across said 

 orive. 



Tne Park Commissioners have kindly considered the matter, and 

 it will be acted upon at once, a boat house being constructed to be 

 ready for the club about the middle of May. It will be situated on 

 the shore line of the Lake, and will be an ornament to the Park. 

 The dimensions will probably be 100ft. x20, with 13t't. head room. 



The American Model Y, 0. is the strongest and most complete club 

 of its kind in the United States. Two or three members of the old 

 clubs of 74 are among its members. 



About 50 models will in all probability be in commission this season. 

 "Wonderful progress has been made in the designing and constructing 

 of model yachts, a number of its members being expert designers 

 and draughtsmen, and having turned out some fast crafts which have 

 beaten all the old rule of thumb boats of former years, they intend 

 to turn out some to beat last year's boata in the races to come this 

 season. Three 40, three 46 and one 48in. being planked and decked 

 ready for masting. F. Nichols.

"FOREST AND STREAM" TOURNAMENT 



FOR NEW JERSEY RIFLE CLUBS. 



The Volunteer RiflB Club, of Newark, has withdrawn from the 

 Forest and Stream tournament owing to lack of iuterest among 

 its members. All matches scheduled for this club will be declared 

 void. 



Complaints have reached this office that some of the clubs in 

 the tournament insist that the time limit for matches is one hour 

 for each team. This is an erroneous impression, as the rules 

 state distinctly that each man is limited to ten minutes for his 

 ten shots. The rule was very plainly printed in our issue of Jan. 

 31 and could not be misconstrued. Two minutes time is also 

 allowed from the firing of the last shot on one string to the 

 firing of the first shot on the succeeding string. With five 

 men shooting this must not consume more thau fifty-eight 

 minutes. If one man should complete his score in two minutes 

 the fact still remains that the next man must fire his first shot 

 within two minutes of the time the last shot of the preceding 

 score strikes 1 he target. Time allowance is made only as stated 

 in Rule 3 



Another point on which there seems to he a diversity of opinion 

 is in regard to the appointing of officials. Rule 4 states what a 

 judge may do, but nowhere in the rules is there a clause saying 

 that there "must he" a judge. This is left to the captains, who 

 must mutually agree as to whether or not they desire judges. 

 The captains may act as judges if they choose to do so.

The Zettler Tournament. 



The team shoot for handsome prizes, arranged by the Zettler 

 Rifle Club, took place at its gallery, 219 Bowery, this city, last 

 Monday. It was open to all, with a $5 entry fee. The Excelsior 

 Rifle Club's five-men team and that of the New York Independent 

 Sehuetzens tied for first prize with scores of 1,199 each out of a 

 possible 1,250. The first was, however, awarded to the Excelsiors, 

 their team having scored the most "flags." The Independents 

 bad to content themselves with second prize, a rifle. The first 



prize was also one. The third prize, a handsome bronze statuet te, 

 was won by the Miller Rifle Club, of Hobnken, by a score of 1.196. 

 This is the club that leads in the tournament arranged for New 

 Jersey clubs by the Forest and Stream, with seven victories and 

 no defeats. The excitement throughout the day was intense, each 

 club bringing a large contingent of well-tried "rnoters." Fifteen 

 clubs were entered, but several did not finish their scores, as they 

 saw there was no possible chance for them to secure a prize. 

 Those teams who fired their whole 50 shots are appended below,

A unique cup was offered to the shooter making the highest score 

 during: the shoot. It was won by Ward Channing, of the Excel- 

 siors, who made the good match score of 244 points. So it can be 

 seen that the Excelsiors were in good trim, they winning first 

 prize and the highest individual score cup. The Albigs, of this 

 oily, tied the Our Own Club, of Newark, for fourth position with 

 a score of 1193. That the shoot was an immense success cannot be 

 denied.

Our members feel confident that the Volunteer Rifle Club, of 

 Newark, would have met with disastrous defeat on the 19th tnst., 

 had they still been in the tournament. But the fact that they 

 had withdrawn was unknown to the G. R. C whose team came, 

 saw, and were told for the first time that such was the case. The 

 disappointed team returned home. W. C. Collins, Sec'y.
