FOREST AND STREAM. 



309 



BOW-FACING OARS. 



Editor Forest and, Stream: 



It is now about thirty -four years since I made the old original Kel- 

 pie, and ever since she was stolen from me I have meant to build an- 

 other canvas canoe. Circumstances have not thus far favored this 

 plan, but just now I have in mind some ideas which I wish to put in 

 practice, and shall try to make a new edition of the Kelpie this 

 season. 



I have a decided preference for bow-facing oars for sportsmen's 

 use, and should be glad if some one who has experience of the differ- 

 ent sorts would give me the benefit: thereof in your columns. The 

 only point 1 make is that they shall be as light as possible. Those I 

 have in use are, so it seems to me, unnecessarily heavy. 



As to the canoe, there are many in market, but of* those which I 

 have seen, there are none which exactly suit me. There were some 

 "pints 1 ' about my old favorite which 1 do not expect to see excelled, 

 and which I have seen equalled in no other boat. 



By the by, can you tell me what became of the Sairey Gamp? 



Central Lake, Mich. Kelpie. 



[Probably Mr. Kushton can tell of the whereabouts of the Sairey 

 Gamp, she was sent from our office to an exhibition at New Orleans 

 about six years ago.]

New Jersey Rifle Shooting. 



\_8peHnHy UcpoHcd for Forest and Stmeamit] 



Quite a number of members of the Hudson Rifle Club, of 

 Marion, are considering the advisablity of holding a tournament 

 amontr themselves. The idea is to have every member who enters 

 Are 1,000 shots, 100 shots a week. It would therefore last a period 

 of ten weeks. It. is proposed to charge a small entrance fee and 

 purchase prizes and present them to the first, second and third 

 men at the end of the shoot. Those who have already announced 

 their willingness to enter are Secretary Charles E. Bird, Henry 

 Mahlenbrock, John Rebhan, Thomas A. Reynolds, John Smith, 

 Adolph Malz, A. Braun, Henry Boddey, Jos. Buch and C. Braun, 

 Jr. xlmong these cracks the affair would be an interesting one. 

 Capt. Henry Hansen, the club's most enthusiastic shooter, would 

 enter but for his being detained by business in Connecticut. 



Clans Schroeder, of the Hoboken Schuetzen Corys, defeated 

 James Smyth at Russell & Roedell's rifle range, last Thursday

The club held its regular monthly meeting last n'ght. The 

 tickets for the coming shoot and festival at the Union Hill 

 Schuetzen Park, on Decoration Day, were distributed among 

 the members. It will prove an interesting race between 

 Captain "Dick" Dewey and H. Fred Meyer, for the honor of win- 

 ning the best of the two medals offered to. the two members sell- 

 ing the most tickets for the festival. The Captain has made 

 several wagers, he betting that Fred will not sell 200 tickets. The 

 latter is confident of disposing of 300. The latter received his first 

 hundred ten days ago, and the pile has already dwindled down 

 considerable. 



Frank Kammel has become pretty well acquainted among New 

 Jersey rifle shooters, through the Forest and Stream tourna- 

 ment, as the acknowledged Al enthusiastic "rooter" of the Miller 

 Rifle Club. He asserts that money talks and nothing else. 



Capt. Dewey has been renominated as coustable in the second 

 ward, Hoboken, by the Democratic convention, although the 

 genial "Dick" is a staunch Republican. He has the Republican 

 nomination also. He has received the congratulations of his 

 many friends, who predict a walkover. 



The Palisade Rifle Club's members are Incensed at the action of 

 the Jefsen Rifle Club. The latter, after quite an effort by the 

 former, promised to send a committee to the Palisade's headquar- 

 ters to make arrangements for a ten-men team match, btu no 

 committee appeared, and the Palisades are forced to believe that 

 the Jefsens are not anxious to shoot them a ten-men t»am match 

 notwithstanding the positive assurances of Capt. William Jef- 

 sen to the contrary. 



A special feature of the Union Athletic Club's, of Hoboken 

 handsome and spacious headquarters are the neatly fitted up' 

 rifle ranges. The are well patronized by the club's members. 



Greenville Rifle Club, Jersey City, March .35.— In the medal 

 eempetitions first class medal was won by Joe Kaiser with a 

 score of 225; second class medal won by J. Spahn with a score of 

 235; third class medal won by Purkess with a score of 236. 



A ten men team match to take place shortly has been arraaged 

 between the Greenville and Hudson rifle clubs. 



A committee of four of the Miller Ride Club attended the 

 funeral of Mrs. Chas. Judson from her late residence, 211 East 

 107th street, this city, Tuesday afternoon. A handsome floral 

 design accompanied them. Genial Charley Judson, one of the 

 Miller Club's foremost shots, has received much sympathy at the 

 hands of his fellow members through his sad bereavement. 



The Palisade Rifle Club, Capt. John Reiuhardt, would like to 

 arrange a series of five or ten-men matches with the Lischke 

 Rifle;Club, whose excellent scores have lately appeared in For- 

 est and Stream. It seems that the Jefsens are not anxious to 

 arrange a ten-men team match, so the club is considering the 

 advisability of challenging the Green villes. The return match 

 with the Hudsons takes place soon. A challenge would also be 

 acceptable from the Puritan Rifle Club, Newark, for a ten-men 

 team match. The clnb held its regular monthly meeting at 

 headquarters last Thursday evening. 



The match for a §25 gold medal and supper for friends of John 

 Havens and Judge George F.Seymour, took place at Thurk's 

 ranges, Hoboken, last Saturday. Each man tired 50 shots:

 when business relating to the coming shoot and festival will be

It wni be seen by the scores made that Mr. McBean again made 

 the highest seoie, and as he is a new member, the club may well 

 be proud of his excellent shooting. After the regular shoot the 

 boys made up a handsome purse shoot, the winner to take the en- 

 tire purse. Mr. Ray Taylor showed his good nerve bv making the 

 winning score. In the contest between Burley and Hankie, with 

 enough on the side to make it interesting, Burlev defeated Hankie 

 with a score of 109 to 105. " "C. A. Hank le
