Red Dragon 0. C. 



The fall regatta of the Red Dragon C. 0. was held on Oct. 8 on the 

 Delaware River, in front of the club house at Wissinoming. There 

 was a large assemblage of guests— principally ladies— to witness the 

 races. 



Tne weather was mild and a dead calm was upon the water, in 

 consequence of which the paddling races were the first events upon 

 the programme. In the single paddling race there were two entries. 

 H. Fleischman in Enid, and M. D. Wilt m Malta. The race was easily 

 won by Mr. Fleischman. 



In tlie tandem paddling the entries were J. Van Dusen and R. G. 

 Fleischman in Coquette, A. & Fennimore and M. D. Wilt in Malta, 

 and H. Fleischman and F. O. Gross in Enid. The three boats were 

 well bunched until about 50yds. from the fiTiish. Malta crossed into 

 Coquette's waters and fouled, after which Malta's men ceased pad- 

 dling. Coquette finished half a length ahead of Enid. H. Fleischman 

 broke his paddle immediately upon starting, handicapping the Enid 

 greatly. 



The greatest interest centered in the sailing race, Jn which there 

 were four classes of boats entered, the object being to settle an open 

 question as to the superior qualities of one class over the others. The 

 boato were to start upon the firing of a gun and sail twice around a 

 triangular course, but, as there was little wind and owing to the late- 

 ness of the hour, once around the triangle was decided upon. 



The entries were: Ethel, A. G. Cook; No Mane. M. Van Uusen, of 

 the Corinthian iViosquito Fleet; Chump, G. F. Williams, the "Clap- 

 ham bouncer" of the Philadelphia Y. C: Picnic, Capt. Morgan, and 

 Olga, H. Blummer, St. Lawrence skiffs of the R. D. C. C. The above 

 boats were allowed one man with the captain. 



The canoes were: Osceola, H. MacCormick; Kie Loe, F. W. Noyes; 

 Enid, D. MacCormick; Malta, .1. Van Dusen; Polly wog, R. G. Eleisch- 

 man; Ted, W. Gray (canvas canoe), of R. D. C. C, and Cholly, of the 

 Riverton C. C. 



Toe boats were well bunched at the start, crossing the line with 

 little advantage to any. Osceola was the first to pull out, followed by 

 Malta, Kie Loe, Enid, Polly wog. The stretch to the first buoy was 

 against the tide with a quartering breeze. After rounding the first 

 buoy Kie Loe passed Osceola, but soon lost the position to Osceola 

 owing to some fouling of her gear. The second buoy was rounded 

 in the following order: Osceola, Kie Loe, Enid, Pollywog; and from 

 the second buoy to the stakeboat was a beat, and the boats crossed 

 with Osceola first, Enid second, Kie Loe third. No Mane and Ethel 

 finishing ahead of the St. Lawrence skiffs, with Chump following. 



Messrs. W. E. Rothrey and N. Baker, R. D. O. C, were judges; John 

 A. lEglis, starter, and G. A. Kirkpatrick, timer, both of the Phfiadel- 

 phia 0. C. After the races a luncheon was served. F. O. G,

At the request of certain A. C. A. members of the Northern Divi 

 sion, I beg to inform the members of the Association that at the 

 next meeting of the executive committee I will move the annexed 

 amendment to the by-laws. This is sent for publication in accord- 

 ance with the spirit of Art. XII. of the constitution, although no 

 such publication is necessary m case of amending the by-laws. 



Toronto, Can. J. W. Spabbow. 



The amendment reads: Besolved, That Sec. 2 of Chap. I of the by- 

 laws be amended by striking out, "Every member attending the 

 general A. C. A. camp shall pay $1 for camp expenses;" and sub- 

 stituting therefor, "Kvery member attending a camp shall pay for 

 camp expenses as follows: For the general camp $t and for a divi- 

 sion camp such sum as may be determined upon by the executive 

 committee of the local division." 



THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



The members of the New York Pistol Club are determined to 

 have all the sport which the Winans Trophy affords. President 

 Hfinry Oehl of the club thinks that his position should carry with 

 it the championship, so he has challenged the present holder, Geo. 

 E. Jantzer, for the championship, and the match will be fought 

 out on Saturday evening, Oct. 15, at the St. Marks place gallery 

 near Third avenue. Those who wish to see some good shooting 

 and meet a very sociable lot of revolver cracks should be about at 

 that time and place. 



Highland (111.) Sharpshooters. 



The fall tournament given by the Highland Sharpshooters on 

 Sunday and Monday of last week was a success in more ways than 

 one. The fine weather brought out a large number of shooters 

 and their friends. St. Louis was well represented by 15 shooters, 

 also several from Belleville, 111. The shooting commenced Sunday 

 at 10 o'clock and the last gun tired at 13 o'clock Monday. 



After dinner prizes to the amount of nearly $500 were distrib- 

 uted according lo the following scores:
