DOG TAVERN GUN CLUB. 



The members of the Dog Tavern Gun Club held their monthly 

 outii'g on the tarm of Douglas Darby, at Fanwood, N. J., on Fri- 

 day last. Thecluo is composed mostly of resident members of the 

 old Middlesex organization, and since the dissolution of that club 

 meet quite regularly. At their little gatherings the members and 

 their friends manage to have great sport at very little expense. 

 Lunch is served and all expens^es are divided prorata. Ou this 

 occasion the guests were C. W. Dodd, of Elizabeth, one of Union 

 county's most prominent ofQci'<ls, and Messrs. A. Albert, Fred 

 Binder and John Rothacker. of Pliiladelphia, the mree latter gen- 

 tlemen being the guests of Criarley Smith. The programme for 

 the day consisted of matches at live birds and bluerock targets, 

 sides being chosen and the losers paying for the birds. In the 

 bluerock matches an optional sweepstake was shot independent 

 of the match itself. The live birds were country birds and were 

 just a trifle too good for some of the boys, including your corre- 

 spondent. 



Club matches, teams of 5 men at 5 live birds, modified Hurling- 

 ham rules, 5 ground traps:

 trated by a fire which drove the Fohest and Stream compositors 

 out of the building, threatened a melting ran of the type, and so

Model Fachts and Boats. Their design, making and sailing, with

MODEL YACHT SAILING.-This delightful branch of yacht- 

 ing has received far less attention than it deserves from American 

 yachtsmen, but of late there has been an increase of interest, and 

 several clubs are now established and holding regular races. In 

 England the sport has long b"en in high favor. Model yacht 

 clubs are numerous, while a monthly paper devoted to the sport 

 is published. Of course to those who merely care to go from 

 place to place in a boat, either by sail or steam, there is little at- 

 traction in model sailing; but to the thousands whose interest in 

 boats lies much deeper, including the whole subject of design 

 constractioD, rigging and sailing, the racing of model yachts offers' 

 a wide and inviting field. The principles involved are the same 

 as in the case of large vessels, the same fascinating experiments 

 in designing, building and racing are much more easily possible, 

 and the results are as valuable from a technical point of view as 

 in (he case of a Volunteer or a Gloriana. The two fascinating 

 problems now before yachtsmen, of design and construction, can 

 be completely worked out on a large scale only at a very heavy 

 expenditure; but the designing and construction of models in- 

 volves a most insigniflcent outlay. While within the reach of 

 boys and young amateurs, the sport is by no means beneath the. 

 dignity of veteran yachtsmen, and to the amateur designer in> 

 particular it offers every opportunity to test his theories and re- 

 vise tliem in the light of actual experience. 



GLORI ANA'S DRAFT.— We notice that Gloriana'a draft as 

 given ty Mr. Herreshoff is lift. 2in., just one foot more than the 

 figures published early in the season. Her staWlity would cer- 

 tainly indicate that the deeper draft la correct.

 clubs. A complete list of the names and addresses of members: 

 and dimensions of yachts is given for ench club, with the private-- 

 signals of owners. The book is illustrated by handsome photo- 

 gravures of prominent yachts, and is very handsomely printed/
