Corinthian Canoe Club. 



Toronto, June 27.— The first sailing race of the club was sailed 

 over the club course on Toronto Bay on Saturday, June 25, in a stiff 

 northwest breeze. At the signal the Rush was first over the line, 

 closely followed by Eel and Waif. Rush maintained her lead until 

 the first buoy dead to windward was reached; here both Eel and 

 Waif forged ahead. Waif taking the lead and keeping it through the 

 race, Eel and Rush fighting hard for second place. The former, 

 however, pulled ahead of the latter on last round, finishing a good 

 second to Waif , Rush being third. Robert Tjson sailed his Proa 

 against the canoes, but although doing better than was expected, 

 was never in it with the little boats. Three or four other club flyers 

 were unable to be present, thus thinning down the entry consider- 

 ably.

CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



A firm of Western canoe builders is now advertising that it has in 

 its employ the designer of the canoe Bat. The Bat was designed by 

 W. P. Stephens, in 1889, and built from moulds furnished by him, by 

 th« St. Lawrence River S., O. and S. L. Co., the firm alluded to above 

 having nothing to do with the canoe. 



The many friends of Mr. J. Z. Rogers— "Col. Jim"— will learn with 

 regret of the very serious business loss sustained by him recently i"d 

 the burning of the shops of the Ontario Canoe Co., at Peterborough, 

 of which he was the head. The firm had added this spring a large 

 amount of new and costly machinery, and were doing a prosperous 

 business; but the shops, machinery and all the moulds for canoes 

 were entirely destroyed. The company has resumed work in one of 

 the buildings which was saved, but the loss in every way is most 

 severe. 



The year book of the Northern Division of the Americau Canoe 

 Association is a credit in every way to its compilers, being very 

 neatly made and containing a great deal of interesting information 

 about the Division and the coming meet at Geneva Park, Lake 

 Couchiching. At the same time there is one omission so remarkable 

 as to call for comment. Although the full lists of all Division officers 

 present and past, are given, there is not a word concerning the 

 American Canoe Association, the general meet, the other divisions 

 or the Association officers. The date and place of the general meet 

 are not alluded to. while an advertisement on the cover is so worded 

 as to convey the idea that the general meet of the Association will 

 be held at Geneva Park, Lake Couchiching. In a small programme 

 such omissions would not be remarkable; but in a large and elabor- 

 ate pamphlet, carefully prepared and with much descriptive matter 

 and illustrations, it would seem that a few lines at least might be de- 

 voted to the Association at large and the general meet, while a men- 

 tion at least of the commodore's name would be a very slight recog- 

 nition of the interest he has displayed through the winter in the 

 Northern Division.

THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



The announcement of results in the opening shoot for the 

 Winans Trophy, in the Forest and Stream, closed up a long 

 and interesting contest. Figures and scores were given with the 

 report. Herewith are given diagrams of the cartridges and bullets 

 used, shown full size. The majority used the round bullet, G, 

 fired from the short cartridge case, 3. When the .32eal. was used 

 bullet F was the favorite with shell 4. Yo3t and Dr. Gardner, of 

 Philadelphia, used the Colt revolver with cartridge No. 5, firing 

 the bullet E. This is the only cartridge showing the bullet 

 projecting from the shell. All the others with the low powder 

 charges employed had the bullet seated low down in the shell. 

 Bullet A was fired from shell No. 1 by Jantzer and Hoffman; bul- 

 let C was selected by Roundsman Petty and was fired from shell 



A 3 C X> z v a 



No. 2; bullet B was the choice of Chas. Wellinger, of Cincinnati, 

 while Din the bullet line came fro ai one of the shells used by 

 Frank Speth, also of Cincinnati. It is a mark of great confidence 

 in th« factory-loaded ammunition that so many of the shooters 

 used it in preference to any loaded by themselves. All of them 

 are careful experimenters, and their choice of factory loads was 

 made only after conviction that private loading would bring no 

 better results. 



As to the prizes, Mr. Bell takes possession of the trophy and 

 also receives an order on Smith & Wesson for "any model of 

 revolver that may be selected, handsomely gotten up, with mo- 

 rocco case, etc.". 



Messrs. H. S. Burley, of Chicago; Geo. E. Jantzer, of New York, 

 and Sumner Paine, of Boston, receive from the FOREST AND 

 Stream prize of $100 the sums of $50, $30 and $20 respectively, aud 

 checks for said amounts have been sent. 



Geo. E. Jantzer, who took third place in the revolver contest, 

 is the firBt challenger for the possession of the trophy. His chal- 

 lenge came in within two days of the publication of the scores.
