ABB 



CRUISERS1AT THE A. C, A. CAMP. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The regatta committee propose to offer the cruisers a t the A. C. A. 

 Camp at Lake Cbamplain this year, a new feature which they beg 

 to announce in preliminary form. 



A meeting will be called at the camp, where members interested 

 can join in final arrangements. This meetiug will probably be 

 called on Saturday, August 6, if enough members are in camp then 

 to justify It. If not, it will be a day or two later. The corfiaiittee 

 will submit to the meeting a proposition to take two or three days' 

 cruise, camping out one or two nights, making the runs from camp 

 to camp short enough to prevent scattering, and taking the time of 

 such canoes as choo<e to enter in a speed competition. Other canoes 

 may join the cruise without any restrictions whatever. But a prize 

 will be piven to the best and second best records. 



A complete individual cruising outfit will, of course, be carried and 

 used. 



Either sailing and paddling permitted, possibly under certain re- 

 strictions, such as perhaps one forbidding paddling entirely some 

 afternoon or morning when a fair wind prevails. 



It is proposed to cruise up the east side of the lake, through ©r 

 over the sandbar bridge, because this part of the lake is compara- 

 tively unknown to us, and because it affords more sheltered water. 



Convenient stopping places can be found 12 or 14 miles apart so 

 that the whole fleet would rendezvous at midday and evening. But 

 all these details can be acted upon at a preliminary meeting, and de- 

 cided by the majoritv. 



Mr. Gibson's launch will accompany the cruise to assist in keeping ( 

 it together, and iu any other way necessary, and to take the times 

 of such canoes as are competing for the prizes. 



If seven members will start, this may be made a very pleasant event. 

 There might be many more, but it will hardly be worth while to 

 arrange the affair for fewer. 



The announcement is made at this early day to invite discussion 

 and preparation. 



Cruisers are requested to bring with them canoe or other small 

 tents and sufficient equipment 



Particular attention is invited to the fact that it rests with the 

 cruisers themselves to say whether or not this cruise shall be made.

RED DRAGON C. C. 



THE Ked Dragon C. C. have removed from its quarters at Brides- 

 burg to the ••Morris Homestead," at Wissinomiog. It was the in- 

 tention to secure a piece of grouud and erect a new club, owing to our 

 c amped position at Brkksburg, but through the liberality of Mr. 

 Morris we were induced to lease the "Homestead" with surrounding 

 grounds, comprising several acres. Our house contains 17 rooms, 

 giving us very spacious quarters ; which will be fitted up comfortably. 

 The grounds' ai e well snaded, and wisteria and clinging vines add 

 beauty to outhouse. From the piazzi we have a beautiful view of 

 the Delaware River. Our prominent position gives us a most desir 

 able place for viewing races. This sequestered portion of the river 

 is a paradise for the canoeist, being free from the troublesome ferry 

 and tug boats so numerous lower down upon the Delaware. At 

 present we are actively engaged in making necessary changes upon 

 our house; we hope, however, soon to have everything in readiness 

 at an early date for a house warming, of which you will hear more 

 later. 



Should any of our brother canoeists chance to be storm stayed in 

 our vicinity they will always find the latch string hanging without 

 the door. F. O. G.

The shooting programme arranged for the "Allgemeine Schuet- 

 zen Fest," at Wissel's Cypress Hills Park, Cypress Hills, Long 

 Island, from July 31 to Aug. 7. inclusive, follows. There will be 

 shooting on eight distinct targets: First, king: second, festival; 

 third, prize; fourth, medal; fifth, man; sixth, point; seventh, 

 team, and 8ch, judges. The shooting will taie place at three 

 distances, viz.: 200yds., 154ft. and 150ft, Of shooting booths there 

 will be ten on the long range and seven on the shorter ranges, 

 making seventeen booths in all. The targets, sizes of bullseyes, 

 distances, cost of shooting, prizes to be contested for, and dis- 

 tances are below: 



King Target— Twenty-five %m. rings, 12in. black, distance 

 200yds.: open only to members of organizations included in the 

 bund; tickets $3; no re-entries; prizes, $50 gold medal and S1C0 in

 Gold and silver medals will be distributed on this target. 



Prize Target— Twenty-five M'n. rings, 12in. black, distance 

 200yds.; open to all; tickets SI to members of organizations in- 

 cluded in bund, all others S3 for first tickets. Prizes amount to 

 $500 in cash, divided into fitty nrizes. 



Man Target— Distance 200yds., open to all, to all outside marks- 

 men; the first ticket will cost S3, all others §1. Fifty prizes, 

 ranging from $50 to $1, amounting m all to S500, will be offered on 

 this target. 



Point Target— Three 4in. rines, 1.2iu. black, 200yds., open to all; 

 tickets, 10 shots, $1. Seventy-five per cent, of what money is 

 taken in on the target will be distributed. 



Medal Target.— Eighteen -%in. rings. Sin. black, distance 154ft., 

 open to all, tickets 75 cents, 75 gold medals in worth ranging lrom 

 S25 to $3 to be contested for. 



Team Target.— Twenty-five %\n. rings, 13iu. black, distance 

 200yds,, open to teams of 5 men of any rifle club, Schuetzen 

 Verein, company or battalion; entries to close July 1. One man 

 can but shoot with one team, entrance fee 810, First prize, 850 

 cup; second, $40 cup; ranging to the ninth and tenth prizes with 

 cups valued at S10. Five shots a man. 



Judges' Target.— Eighteen %m. rings. 3in. black, distance 154ft., 

 3 shots. Prizes ranging in value of §25 to $5 will be given on this 

 target. 



In the bowling department prizes ranging from 850 downward 

 will be presented to the he ter bowlers. Ladies and team bowling 

 for prizes will also be a feature. The prizes offered by the festival 

 committee on the several targets are: King, S150; festival, $100; 

 prize, §500; man. $500; poiu'. per carnage.; medal, $4:50: team $220; 

 and medals, $50; total $1,970. For the bowlers the amount foots 

 up $828 in cash prizes. Tnis, taken with the rent of tne park, 

 targets, warners, secretaries, etc., will bring the expense up to 

 about $15,000. Now I say right here that they have got to do some 

 pretty tall hustling to take in S15.000. D is the opinion of manv 

 sentient- n prominent in Sehueizen affairs that the "fest" 

 shouldn't have taken place before '93. Candidly, it is my 

 opinion that the affair will be a flat failure. A peculiar featu> e 

 ot the programme issued is that it possesses no names of any com- 

 mittee of arrangements or shooiing committee. If* the Bund takes 

 in the fifteen thousand "thalers," which alone is just the outlay, 

 they are good ones. Jay H. Kay.

N. Y. Militia Shooting. 



The General Inspector of Rifle Practice has issued rules and 

 regulations for rifle practice at the ranges, in which it is set forth 

 that commanding officers of companies will see that enlisted men 

 of their commands receive the necessary preliminary instruction 

 in rifle practice at the armories before they are sent to the ranges. 

 In the matter of classification, it is arnouticed that all who do 

 not appear on a range for practice will coi stitute the third class. 

 All who are present for practice will constitute the second class. 

 Practice in this class will be at 100yds. standing, on a No. 3 target. 

 A score of 15 or npwaid at this disiance will qualify. 



The first class will consist of those who have qualified in the 

 second class. The practice in this class will be at 200vds. kneel- 

 ing or si! ting, and at 300yd?. prone, on a No. 3 target. Those fail- 

 ing to make 15 at 200yds. will not shoot at 300yds. A score of 30 

 or upward in the first class, made on the same day. will constitute 

 a marksman, and entitle the maker to ihe State decoration. A 

 score of 42 or upward, made on the same day by a marksman, at 

 500 and 600yds. prone, on a No. 3 target, constitutes a sharpshooter, 

 and entitles him to a silver bar. Marksmen who fail to make SO 

 at 500 ds. will not shoot at 600yds. 



Firing in ranks will be asfollows: Fire bv squad, section, pla- 

 toon or company, at lOOvds. standing, two rounds; at SOOyds. 

 kneeling, four rounds: at SOOyds. kneePng, four rounds. The per- 

 centage made of the possible aggregate score in this practice, 

 namely, firing in ranks, added to the percentage present and 

 practicing of the aggregate strength of the organization, less 

 commissioned officers, staff sergeants and musicians, on the day 

 of practice, and the sum thereof divided by two, determines the 

 figure of merit for the year.
