FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July i4, 1892. 



Moreover, the uncertainty and confusion caused by the use of sev- 

 eral different courses, as compared with the simplicity of the single 

 triangle, seem to me to urge ttie latter method most emphatically. 



All the A. C. A. sailing races should be sailed on the same triangu- 

 lar course, according to the established system which everybody un- 

 derstands, and which can be carried on without a hitch. 



For the coming races the plans of the committee have been made 

 after careful deliberation, and it would be undesirable at this late 

 hour to make any radical changes. If an experiment isdesired. such 

 as a long L course, any member may offer a special prize and lay 

 out suoQ a course, and will in that way no doubt obtain satisfaction. 

 But it would be unfair to increase the work of the committee, which 

 every one knows is sufficiently heavy, by calling upon them to un- 

 dertake the experiment. 



Let me repeat, however, that these opinions arc personal, and not 

 from the regatta committee. 



To conclude I would point out that it is the executive committee 

 and the secretary who are the custodians and recorders of the A. C. 

 A. constitution and by-laws and regulations, and to them we must 

 look for the corrected version. K. VV. Gibson. 



In order to save time, we submitted the first letter to Mr. R. W. 

 Gibson, chairman of the regatta committee, whose reply appears 

 above. Rule I. is incorrectly eriven in the Year Book. As we under- 

 stood the action of the executive committee at the November meet- 

 ing, the rule should read as follows: 



Rule I. A canoe, to compete in any race of the A. C. A., must be 

 sharp at both ends, with no counter stern or transom, and capable of 

 being efficiently paddled by one man, and must come within the pre- 

 scribed limits, as follows: Maximum length, 16ft., and for that length 

 a maximum beam of :30in. Minimum beam, 28in. Beam may be in- 

 creased %ia. for each full inch of length decreased. No canoe shall 

 have a draft of more than lOin., except the unclassified boats, to 

 which class the limits of length and breadth only shall apply. 



In centerboard canoes, the keel outside of the garboard shall not 

 exceed l^ln. in depth, including a metal keel band of not over J^in. 

 deep. The centerboard mtist not drop more than 18in. below the 

 garboard. and when hauled up must not pro.iect below the keel. 

 Canoes without centerboards may carry keels not over ■3in. deep be- 

 low garboard, and not weighing more tnan S61bs. Leeboards maybe 

 carried by canoes not having centerboards. 



Measurement.— The length shall be taken between perpendiculars 

 at the fore side of stem and the aft side of stem. The beam snail be 

 taken at the widest part, not including the beading, which shall not 

 exceed IJ^in. in depth. If deeper it shall be included in the beam. 

 The word -beam" shall mean the breadth formed by the fair lines of 

 the boat, and the beam at and near the waterUne shall bear a reas- 

 ODflble proportion to the beam at the gunwale. 



The ''cruising canoe" shall be one which conforms to the above 

 conditions, and, in addition, has a well not less than 16in. wide for a 

 length of 3ft. Cm., with a sleeping space of 6ff., of which at least 5ft. 

 shall be clear. There must be no projecting centerboard when 

 housed. The sliding seat shall not be longer than the beam of the 

 boat, and no standing sail shall bfl used. The regatta committee may 

 rule out any canoe which, in their opinion, does not conform to the 

 spirit of these regulations. 



The foregoing rules of measurement shall not be interpreted to 

 disqualify any canoe built prior to Jan, 1, 1890, which conforms to the 

 rules prior to" that date. 



CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



The fourth annual camp of the Owanux Canoe Association will be 

 held at Merwui's Point from July 23 until July 30. The races will be 

 held on Tuesday and Wednesday, and are as follows: Paddling, one- 

 half mile straightaway, paddfing tandem, combined sailing and 

 paddling, sailing on the triangle three miles with no limit to rig, etc., 

 iip.set, lOOyds. and hurrv scurry race. The regatta committee are 

 Messrs, J. H. Rowland. G. H. Lauzzettle and 0. T. Gilbert. The camp 

 committee includes G. Foster Sanford, William Stark and S. B. Row- 

 land. On Wednesday evening of the camp week the annual meeting 

 wUl be held and prizes for the different i-aces awarded. At the con- 

 clusion of the meet the big camp fire will be lighted. 



The neatest and daintiest of all canoe club books is the little white 

 volume of the British Canoe Association, the fifth annual edition of 

 which has lately reached us. The Association has now 170 members. 

 The book contains six handsome proto-gravures of the 1891 meet on 

 the Norfolk Broads. The meet this year will be on the Menai Straits, 

 beginning Aug. 15 



The boathouse of the Brooklyn 0. C, at the foot of Fifty-fifth 

 street, Brooklyn, was entered the night of July (i by tbieves, who 

 stole a gold watcb and chain and apocketbook containing $13 from 

 a locker belonging to one of the members. Tne club house was 

 robbed about a year since, llie thieves being detected. 



I would like to correspond with some one who would take a cruise 

 on Lake Michigan and perhaps Huron, in canoes or small boats dur- 

 ing July and August. House tent and camp outfit enough for four 

 or five, and could accommodate one light weight in my sneakbox. 

 Address, G. A. R., 47 Eleventh street, Grand Rapids, Mich. 



The Mail and Times, of Des Moines, Iowa, contains a very interest- 

 ing canoe cruise on the Des Moines River by Messrs. Tac Hussey and 

 Walter Weatherly. Mr. Hussey is an old A. C. A. man, No. 79 on the 

 roll. 



The July number of lAppincotVs Magazine contains an article on 

 canoe cruising, the sixth of the "Athletic Series," by W. P, Stephens.

While the abandonment of Creedmoor by the N. B A. will 

 probably put an end to compfttitive shooting in New York State, 

 the N. R. A. will probably be maintained in existencp, but only as 

 the owner of the Hilton shield and other similar trophies which 

 will probably be offered for competition at tbe ranges of the dif- 

 ferent States so as to give all the national guard an equal chance.

 IQQ'i _Gen. B. M. Whitlock, General Inspector of Rifle Practice, S. 

 N. Y., Albany, N. Y.: Sir— I am in receipt of your letter of the 

 gsii inst, requesting a statement "as to what dates in September 

 next tbe N. R. A, proposed to hold its annual meeting at Creed- 

 moor " m order to enable you to fix the dates for the State and 

 brigade matches. In reply, I have to state that the, dates assigned 

 by yon for the practice of tbe National Guard at Creedmior have 

 left no time unoccupied which could be used by the N. R. A for 

 its monthly matches or annual meeting. It has, therefore, been 

 decided not to hold any annual meeting at Creedmoor during tbe 

 present year, and the N. R, A. will transfer such meeting to the 

 State of New Jersey, where its exertions m establishing rifle prac- 

 tice seem to have earned for it a warmer regard than on the 

 range it created. Yours very respectfully, Geo, W. Wingate, 

 Pres. N. R. A. 



New Y^ORK, June 34, 1893 —Gen. Bird W. Spencer, General In- 

 spector Rifle Practice, S. N. J., Passaic, New .lersey: General— I 

 wish to inquire of you ofhclally whether or not arrangements 

 can be made by which the matobes which tbe N. R. A. has been 

 in tbe habit of shooting at Creedmoor, may be shot upon the 

 range at Sea Girt, New Jersey. The matches I refer to are those 

 for the Hilton Shield, the Interstate Trophy, perhaps the VVlm- 

 bledon Cup and tbe Judd Trophy. It is not desired by the N. R. 

 A to have any personal management of these matches, or to re- 

 ceive auy of the income, but simply that thev shall be shot as a 

 part of the programme of tbe New Jersey Rifle A8B(>i:Jatlon and 

 m its range, under the supervision of tl^e N. B. A, We think tbe 



giving of these matches at Sea Girt will undoubtedly attract a 

 number of competitors to it, who would not otherwise be willing 

 to come. Yours very truly, Geo. W. Wingate, Pres. N. R. A. 



State of New Jersey.— Inspector General of Rifle Practice, 

 Trenton, June 28, 1893.— Gen. Geo. W. Wingate, Pres. National 

 Rifle Association: Dear General— Incurs 24tb received. I have 

 had a conference tn-day with Governor Aboett and s-'cured his 

 approval to your proposition as therein outlined. We shall be 

 glad to include the matches in our programme, and you may 

 annonnce the completion of the arrangement as far as gone, as 

 ynu deem best. The details we will arrange later. Yours truly, 

 Bird W. Spencer, Inspector General Rifle Practice. 



New York, June 10. 1892.- tieneral Josiah Porter, Adjutant- 

 General, Aloany, N. Y.: General— It is with the most profound 

 regret that I learn that the State lias taken steoa which have 

 practically resulted in driving the National Rifle Association 

 from Creedmoor, and may result in its dissolution. 



The Association, as is well known, only maintains itself by the 

 receipts which it gets from the monthly sharpshooters' matches, 

 with which receipts it is enabled to carry on the matches them- 

 selves (at which large numbers of National Guardsmen qualify 

 without cost to the State) and to provide the prizes which induce 

 the mass of the National Guard to engage in these competitions. 

 The small surplus left and which constitutes its only income, en- 

 ables it to provide the prizes and to carry on its annual fall moet- 

 iug, which meeting always involves a loss of from S250 to S750. 



The refusal of the new General Inspector of Rifle Practice to 

 recognize as heretofore the scores made in these mutches, pre- 

 vents their continuance, and in consequence prevents the holding 

 of the annual meeting at Creedmoor even if the assignments made 

 by bim of the range had not occupied the entire time which the 

 matches and meeting could be held. 



The N. R. A. has therefore been compelled to abandon tbe idea 

 of having an annual meeting at Creedmoor and to close its oflice. 



1 desiie to put upon record an earnest protest against this action 

 by the State as I cannot but consider it as calculated to be de- 

 structive of competitive rifle shootin.e in the National Guard and 

 as a necessary consequence to be injurious to all military rifle 

 practice. The etflcieucy of tbe National Guard organizations in 

 rifle shooting and the number of men who engage in it is in the 

 cities of New York and Brooklyn, in direct proportion to the elH- 

 ciency of their regimental teams, and those teams are developed 

 and trained in the competitive matches of the N. R. A. The 

 sharpshooters' matches did not interfere with the free practice 

 proposed by Gen. W^hitlock. No one was obliged to shoot in them 

 and those who did did so without expense to the State. An- 

 nual competitions In military rifle shooting such as those of 

 the N. B. A. are fostered among the citizen soldiers of all Eng- 

 lish-speaking people as of great military value, and I am unable 

 to see why the authorities of Naw York State should, upon the 

 twentieth year alter the estsblishment of Creedmoor, reverse all 

 its traditions and turn tbe Association out of the range thev have 

 (treated, which is the birth place of rifle shooting in the United 

 States. , 



1 cannot also but consider that this action by the State author- 

 ities is a practical breach of faith toward the National Rifle As- 

 Fociati''n. When we recently donated Creedmoor to the State it 

 was with the express reservation of the right to hold the annual 

 meeting and with the implied idea that we should be permitted 

 to continue our matches there as previously under your adminis- 

 tration. It was thought that it was possible that there might be 

 in the remote future a new administration which might possibly 

 interfere with this. But the idea that it would be done within 

 two years after the giving to the State of this valuable property 

 and by those who know the circumstances of the transaction was 

 too incredible to be considered. 



I must say also that I think in view of our personal and mili- 

 torv relations, the position I occupy as president of the National 

 Rifle Association, and the criticisms which I will be exposed to 

 from Its members, in consequence of tbe part I have taken in 

 turning the range over to the State in reliance upon an under- 

 standing which is now ignored, I was entitled to have you confer 

 with me before a policy was adopted by the State which will re- 

 sult in practically wiping out the National Rifle Association and 

 abolishing all competitive shooting in the National Guard of 

 this section. 



Of course (Ten. Whitlock is entitled to manage bis department, 

 but I respectfully submit that with all his experience in regard 

 to shooting matcers, it is not sufficient to justify upsetting the 

 whole system and ignoring those, without whose efforts there 

 never would have been any such position as that which he occu- 

 pies. Truly yours, Geo. W. Wingate, Pres. N, R. A.

The Greenville Rifle Club, Capt. W. H. Robidoux, are at present 

 bunting up new headquarters. They lost their last through some 

 trouble between the proprietors, Joseph Kaiser and Peter Vree- 

 land. The outcome of the matter was that the "house" was closed 

 up The matter will probably be speedily adjusted, and an amica- 

 ble feeling renewed between Messrs. Kaiser and V^reeland. The 

 handicap tournament among the club members will continue just 

 as soon as the club is again housed. 



Many Hudson County riflemen attended the Newark Shooting 

 Society's two-days' shoot at Newark, .Monday and Tuesday, the 

 4th and 5th inst. They also captured a fair number of the prizes. 



The Excelsior Rifle Club of Jersey City has completed all ar- 

 rangements for its annual open-to-all outdoor shoot at the Green- 

 ville Schuetzen Park. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 19 and 20, 

 through an unusually efBcienc committee. On tbe ring target 

 fifteen prizes averaging from |10 down to $1 are offered. Tickets 

 are $1 for three shots, best two tickets for first five prizes to 

 count. On tbe bullseve target prizes ranging from $35 to $1 are 

 up for competition. Premiums for tbe most flags and beat three 

 tickets consist of go, $3 and .$2. The shooting committee consists 

 of- First Shooting Master, L. P. Hansen; Second Shooting Master, 

 William Weber; William H. Robidoux, John Speicher, Ward J, 

 Channing and William H. Hallo well. The shoot will no doubt 

 turn out to be the success anticipated, as tbe committees and 

 members are working hard. 



The Palisade Rifle Club, Capt. John Reinhardt, is continuing 

 it.8 weekly shoots at headquarters, 354 Palisade avenue, Jersey 

 City Heights, notwithstanding the warmth of the weather. Barely 

 possessing fifteen members they have among them a dozen men 

 who are deeply Interested in rifle shooting as a sport. The club 

 bas a committee at work making preparations for an outtng. 



Tbe Shooting Club of the Sixth Battalion, Germania Schuetzen 

 Bund, W. R. N. J., have changed its headquarters from Moye's 

 Hall, First street, to August Meyns' Rifle Ranges, 423 Washington 

 street, Hoboken. They meet for practice every Saturday evening. 

 The change is for the better, as regards the locality and is nearer 

 to fche membefs' bowes, 



The Hansen Rifle Club shoot weekly at headquarters, Wisch's 

 Schuetzen Ranges, 300 Adams street, Hoboken. The membership 

 of this club is dwindliog down lately, and unless new life is in- 

 fused in a short time, the Hansen Rifle Club is liable to "go up the 

 spout," to use a slang phrase. 



The Hoboken Rifle Club, Capt. John H. Y^eck, elect a new set of 

 oftieers at next month's regular meeting. The present officers 

 were elected for a period of three months. 



Rifle shooting in Hoboken has receivfd quite a boom. A club 

 which will be composed largely of German citizens, will be or- 

 ganized in Benger's Hall, Adams street, near Second, next week. 

 At present there are quite a number of clubs in Hoboken com- 

 prising the Miller, Hoboken, Hsinsa, Frieay Night, Shooting Club. 

 Bitallion and last but not leasf, the Ludy Miller Rifle Club, 

 which club possesses a membership of twentv, all of whom are 

 ladies. At present they are interested in a shoot for a bandsome 

 silver rake basket. 



The Herman Rifle Club, have abandoned rifle shooting for tbe 

 summ'^r. At present they pass their spare time away in fishing. 

 Tbe raids they make on the finny tribe and fish dealers are some- 

 thing enormous. 



The Hudson R'fle Club, Captain Henry L. Hansen, unmindful 

 of the warm weather, meet every Monday for practice at heati- 

 qurrters. Giles avenue, Marion. By the May, Ogpt. H. L., isn't 

 ic about time you passed over that plate. .Jay H. Kay. 



Bellville Sharpshooters. 



Bellville, 111., July 2 —The Bfllville Sharpshooters held 

 their tournament to-day and it proved to be one of the most en- 

 joyable shoots of the season. It was a success financially ns well 

 as socially. To Mr. D. Schneidewind are due the thanks of all 

 visiting shooters for the able manner in which the shoot was con- 

 ducted, and his untiring efforts to make everything pleasant for 

 the boys. Bellville has long held the reputation for her hospitality 

 to visiting sportsmen and their appreciation of the same was 

 shown by the crowd that came to-day. 



The shooting was fast and furious from the ripening gun in the 

 morning until 5 o'clock P. M.. when most of the visitors left for 

 home on the evening trains; but a few could not resist the temp- 

 tation to stay over until tbe Fourth.
