Mutual Agreement. 



So MUCH bas been said about G6n. Paine s discovery of the "mutual 

 agreement" clause which was to smooth away all obstacles andbrins; 

 about a renewal of racing:, that it migrht well be supposed that there 

 was really something new to it all. On the contrary, a mutual con- 

 sent was one oli the most prominent features of the trup deed of 1857, 

 though it has been frequently ignored by tbe New York Y. C. in 

 treatmg with challengers. The only difference in this respect between 

 the true and and the new deeds is that in the former the making of a 

 match by mutual consent is considered first, following which are cer- 

 tain conditions which only come into play in the event of a failure to 

 agree. In the new deed, on the contrary, the much vaunted mutual 

 agreement clause is preceded by the dimensions clawse, imperattvelj^ 

 compeling a certain mode of procedure, Including the sending of the 

 dimensions, before any question of mutual agreement Is considered. 

 That under pressure" the club is willing to depart temporarily from 

 the method of proceeding which it has laid down, does not prove that 

 this method is neither unjust nor dangerous. 



Gren. Paine's interpretation and exaltation of the mutual agree- 

 ment clause is so directly at variance with the repeated declarations 

 of the club, and with its past policy, that it is no wonder that it 

 comes to some of ttie members with the charm of novelty. When in 

 1876 the Royal Clyde Y. C. made overtures for a mutual agreement 

 as to size, the New York Y. C. decided that as it built no yachts it- 

 self, and could not dictate to owners, it could place no limit on size, 

 and must accept in the trial races any yacht however larse owned 

 by a member. This excuse was made for the failure to agree on a 

 common size for defender and challenger. 



Again two years later, when Lord Dunraven challenged with a 70- 

 footer, the decision of the club was that its duty, as the custodian of 

 the Cup, compelled it to meet the. challenger with the fastest vessel 

 at its disposal, regardless of inequality of size. 



Either of these claims, if true in 1887 or would prevent the 



club from agreeing to Lord Dunraven 's request to-day. Thac they 

 are as absurd and groundless as we then pronounced them is shown 

 by the present action. of the club; inits eagerness to secure a challenge 

 on any terms, both of them are forgotten, and the ciub practically 

 binds itself to provide a defending yacht which shall not exceed the 

 challenger by more than a small margin, if at all. 



The mutual agreement which it has just offered to Lord Dunraven 

 is far more liberal than The one which it. refused to consider in the 

 case of the Royal Clyde Y. 0. The sad part of the matter is that 

 after such a practica 1 condemnation of its course in the past, the 

 club has failed either to delude itself into the idea that it is giving up 

 nothing, or tbe other party into the opposite idea, that it has con- 

 ceded everything. 



MicMgan V. C. Special Match. 



DETROIT— LAKE ST. CLAIB. 



The race of the Michigan Y. C on Oct. 15, between the three .33- 

 footers Alice Enright, Princes sand Josephine, is remarkable lYom the 

 intense interest which it has created, and the unusual amount of 

 pettv squabbling which has accompanied the negotiations from first 

 to last. We clip the following item from a local paper, one of manj' 

 comments of a similar tenor: 



"The usual matinee yachting convcrsaziime began at the Hotel 

 Cadillac yesterday afternoon and continued with a few intermissions 

 up to midnight. Landlord Graves noticed with some dismay the 

 rather spirited session and asked Frank Pucldefoot, the cafe manager, 

 if the boys were traioina: for a Wild West .show. If the discussions 

 over the Josephine-Princess-Enright race continue to grow in 

 violence until the day of the race it is hard to see how the time will 

 pas-i without some one being killed. It is apparently impossible for 

 yachtsmen to discuss the coming event without accompanying violent 

 gesticulations." 



The match came about through an offer of the Michigan Y. C. to 

 put up Jfiaoo, provided the owners of the Enrisht, Princess, Josephine 

 and Lulu B. would each put up a similar sum, making a purse of 

 $1,000 for a match. The Lulu B. declined, so tbe club finally agreed 

 to put up $250, each of the remaining three boats to put up the same 

 sum. 



As soon as' the agreement was made the trouble began. One of 

 the coDditlons being tnat no yacht should be over the 35ft. class, and 

 the Princess measuring more than this, her owners, as we have 

 already mentioned, sawed notches in the stem and sternpost for the 

 purpose of evading the measurement. This proceeding naturally 

 created a disturbance, and in addition Josephine entered a technical 

 protest aeainst the Enright on the ground that her forfeit had not 

 been put up at the required time, while the Enright in return refused 

 to consent co a postponement which the Josephine desired to com- 

 plete her preparations. 



The Enright was fitted with lead and steel plate on the lower edge 

 of her board, the Princess was put in shape and prepared for meas- 

 urement as stated, and the Josephine was hauled up and a lead keel 

 of three tons bolted on, with a steel centerboard working through it. 

 Work was carried on continuously day aud night for twelve days, 

 but it finally became evident that the Josephine could not be ready 

 by Saturday, Oct. 15. the date set, and a petition was circulated and 

 widely signed asking for a postponement to Monday, to w^hieh, how- 

 ever, "the Enright would not consent. The result was that only she 

 and the Pi ii cess were at I be line on Saturday morning. 



The course was fen miles to leeward and return, the day clear and 

 warm, the naifi- smootli aud the wind light. At the line was the 

 steam yacbi Grace, the judges' boat, having on board, besides the 

 owner aud guests, tbe judges, Cora. Joseph Nicholson and Com. Geo. 

 W. Gardner, of Cleveland; Mr. Mills, also acting as a judge; timers, 

 Vice-Corn. John .A. Heames, Edward Grace and James R.Hayes; 

 director, E. C. Sullivan; tbe regatta committee, Vincent Field, .1. E. 

 Harris and A. L. McLeod : Walter Cades, representing the Alice En- 

 right; Judge WlUiam Look, of the Josejihine; E. Bradv Wendell, of 

 the Princess; Thomas Lynch, C. S. Gale and representatives of the 

 press. 



The two yachts were measured in the early morning, the result 

 being: 



Sail Area, Sq. Root. "Waterilne. S. L, 



Enright 1.754.27 41.88 34.02 37.95 



Princess 2.81C.23 48.13 34.80 41.46 



The start was made at 10:50:80. the yachts being timed: 

 Enright 10 53 56 Princess, 10 58 26 



Both carried spinakers and clubtopsails, the wind being quite 

 light. 



The Enright proved the faster down wind, the times at the turn 

 being: 



Enright 1 28 49 Princess 1 30 24 



On the wind Princess gained, but failed to pass the Enright, the 

 latter winning by 14s. The full times were: 



S'art. Finish. Elapsed. Corrected. 



Alice Enright 10 58 56 3 55 44 4 01 48 3 57 32 



Princess 10 58 26 3 00 01 4 01 35 4 01 85 



After the race the Josephine's owners secured a lawyer and with 

 his aid served a protest on the stakeholder on the following grounds: 

 Tnat the final deposit on behalf of the Enright was not made to the 

 stakeholder personally, and that w'hen the money was put up the 

 Enright's owners gave notice that It would be withdrawn if the 

 method by which the measurement of the Princess was decreased— 

 cutting notches in the stem and stern at the waterline— was recog- 

 nized by the regatta committee; that the alterations to the yacht in 

 time for the race were delayed through the death of a workman, 

 which was purely an act of God; and that the Enright was not 

 measured at Schweikarfs sUp on the morning of the day of the 

 race, as required by the articles. 



Meanwhile, the Princess has challenged the Enright for a race for 

 ffi250 per side, while the Josephine has challenged her for a race for 

 |500 per side; but there is no prospect of another race this year. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



The life of the yachting reporter in the West is evidently not en- 

 tirelj'^ one of champagne and truffles, if we may judge from the fol- 

 lowing extract from a Detroit paper, the incident oecuri;ing at the 

 close of the recent Enright-Princess race: "Arriving at the club 

 anchorage the Grace stopped long enough to afford those on board 

 the funniest scene of the day. Two afternoon paper representatives 

 were anxious to reach the M. Y. C. telephone, and when a boat was 

 lowered both tried to get in the bow. This wouldn't do, so one had 

 to go astern, where it appears he did some tall thinking while a boy 

 palled them in to the float at the club. As the dinghy approached 

 It he climbed over the bow and made a leap. The other reporter had 

 designed his intention and jumped just long enough ahead to cause 

 his rival to light on the absorbant surface of tbe Detroit River. It 

 was shallow and he was only saturated to the knees, but he grabbed 

 his apparently successful rival by the last leg and brought him to 

 earth with a thud. This gave them an even start, and together they 

 raced for the telephone, spending five minutes looking foi' it, and 

 faihng to discover the much-wanted commodity. Finally one firo. 

 posed they hip aud see who was to get first call and it was accepted, 

 the one falling in the river losing,. The house man then showed 

 them where the 'phone was and all ended happily. 



The latest development in the Alva case was an apphcation to the 

 U. S. Supreme Court on Oct. 18 by counsel for Capt. Morrison for 

 leave to file a petition tor a writ of prohibition to prevent Judge Nelson 



of Massachusetts from proceeding upon the libel filed against Mr. 



Yanderbllt by the owners of steamship H. S. Dimock. The cotu't was 



also asked for leave to fide a petition for a writ of mandamus requir- 

 ing Judge Addison Brown of New York to reinstate the suit brought 

 by Morrison against steamship Dimock, William K. Vanderbilt and 

 other persons claiming damages by reason of the coUison on Oct. 21. 

 All the justices of the U. S. Supreme Court were present at 

 Washington. The court granted motion and also gave leave to file a 

 petition for a mandamus on the United States district judge for 

 southern New York to compel him to take up the case for trial. The 

 motion was made returnable the second Monday in November. 



The annual meeting of the Ohio Y. 0. resulted in the election of 

 the following board of officers: Com., John E. Gutickel; A ice Com., 

 J H. Southard : Rear Com., Henry Tracy ; Sect'y, George W. Stevens; 

 Treas., Frank B. Hartman; Fleet Surgeon, Dr. Wools ; Meas.. D. 

 Stephens; Fleet Captain, Capt. R. Craig; Directors, J. V. San Fleet, 

 D W Strouiz, J. W. Boos and F. N. Quale. Com. Gunckel is an old 

 member of the club and an enthusiastic yachtsman. He has long 

 been active in the service of the ciub, and as its chief oftlcer he is 

 certain to place it in a position of prominence among the lake clubs 

 such as it has never before engaged. j 



Lawley & Son are making preparations for an important improve- 

 ment in their basin at City Point, South Boston. The basin will be 

 extended 166ft, to the line of the reserve channel, with a wharf over 

 I2ft. wide enclosing it. Sheer legs tor hoisting masts and boilers will 

 be put in, and the entire basin will be dredged. Lawley's is a favor- 

 ite place for laying up, and the basin is always overcrowded. The 

 firm has always had an enviable reputation for honest work and 

 reasonable prices, and its excellent facilities for work and supplies 

 nduce many to lay up and fit out there. 



The y^ichtsmeu of Seattle have met with disappointment on the 

 occasion of their flriit international regatta on Oct. 6. A number of 

 yachts from other places, some from British Columbia, were present, 

 but after waiting for three days the races were abandoned for want 

 of wind; the money collected for prizes being deposited m bank for 

 some future occasion. Great interest is manifested in yachting just 

 now on the coast, and the sport may be considered as permanently 

 established. 



The schooner yacht Halcyon, after a career of several years as a 

 smuggler, has lately been se zed by tbe Customs authorities of \ ic- 

 toria, B. C. at the instance of the United States officials, on the 

 charge of entermg the waters of a British port in an irregidar man- 

 ner. Her last expedition was an attempt to smuggle ninety Chinese 

 .and a large amount of opium into the United States. She is, we 

 befieve, the old schooner Halcyon, formerly enrolled in the fleet of the 

 Pacific Y.C., of San Francisco. 



W^e call attention to the steam yacht Sanibel, advertised on another 

 page. She was specially designed for Florida, possessing good ac- 

 commodations on a very limited draft, and is an excellent yacht for 

 Southern waters. She has made the trip from New York to Florida 

 and back successfully, and gave goud satisfaction during a winter's 

 use in Florida. 



The volume of "United States and Canadian Yacht Clubs," for 

 1892, contains a very full list of yacht clubs, olflcers and club mem- 

 bers in mere compact form than the large yacht lists. It is neatly 

 gotten up, with some good photos of yachts and club houses. In the 

 future it wfil be pulilished by H. P. Gibson, 181 Broadway, New 

 York. 



Barbara, iO-footer, is now advertised for sale, and Mr. C. H. W. 

 Foster has in contemplation the construction of a 4()ft. fin-keel, the 

 design for which has been made by Mr. W. E. Waterhouse. 



At City Island Wood Bros, are preparing to build the 82Et, steamer 

 designed by Mr. Gardner. Nameless, Nemadjy and Pyxie are hauled 

 up side by side at their yard. 



Webber, at New Rochelle. is building a 25.footer from hiz own de- 

 sign, a centerboard boat of 8ft. draft. 



I lAlcEea. schr., has had her channels removed and will dispense en- 

 tirely with the main, while the fore will be reduced to half their 

 width. - 



Hudson Rifle Club Tournament. 



Thk fourth annual prize shooting festival of the Hud=nn Rifle 

 Oiub was held at 35 Giles avenue, Marion, N. J., Get. 25, 26 and 27. 

 The festival was the most successful, satisfactory and finely con- 

 ducted affair the Hudsons have ever held, and everything was 

 quietly and skilfully operated. Tuesday evening was devoted 

 mostly to the members shooting on the "Target af Honor," and 

 the ring target was rather slow in making scores. Dr. Cioode and 

 Messrs. A. and Gc, Flog were among the guests present on that 

 evening. ,. , , 



Wednesday evening opened more lively than the previous night 

 and it was then when the fun began, as there was a large attend- 

 ance of friends and guests of the members, who tried tueir hand 

 at the pasteboard "just for the fun of the thing." 



At 10 o'clock on this evening the "Target of Honor" closed, and 

 at 11 P. M., under the supervision of Col. Middleton and Senator 

 Evans, the club's reliables, announced that the Target of Honor 

 prizes were r^ady for distribution according to each man's score, 

 beginning with the highest. The following comprises names, 

 scores and prizes: Ist, J. Rebhan 68. six kegs of laeer. 2d,M. 

 Hoff 66, gold medal, two hams and $1. od, A. Matz 66, nne-half 

 gallon extract of vanilla and $2.-')0. 4th, H. L. Hansen 155, barrel 

 flotir and SI. 5th, J. Smith 61, two magnificent pictures and 

 frames presented by Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales, N. Y. 

 6th, Thns. A. Reynolds 64, one ton of coal. 7f.h, Chas. Stadermau 

 .39, handsome basket of flowers. 8th, Chas. K. Bird 58, one ton of 

 coal. 9th, W. Mur.sehl 56, barrel of flour and SI. 10th, H. E. 

 Boddey 53, barrel of flour and $1. lllh. J. J. Evans 53, one case 

 wine, order for a hunter's cap and $1 cash. 13th, A. Heidorf 45, 

 one box soap and $3. 13th, J. Buch 37, one pair shoes and knife. 

 14:th, B. Theil 36, oox cigars, picture and SI. 15th, 8. Middleton 

 35, gallon of whiskey and a nam. 16th, H. Hahlenbrock 29, one 

 ton of Goal. 17th, C. Schleimacher 17, shaving set and knife. 



It can well be said that the boys will have plenty to keep them 

 alive and warm during the winter months, as the prizes were all 

 of a useful or ornamental nature, and great credit was given to 

 the two gentlemen who arranged the distribution, and all were 

 well pleased and satisfied. 



Thursday evening was the most exciting and interesting during 

 the tournament. Hardly had the lights been lit, when Messrs. 

 Dorrler. Ross and Holges, of the Zettler, and Messrs. Rosenbaum 

 and Zettler, Jr., of the Empire rifle clubs, of New York, arrived 

 and were ready for action. Mr. J. J. McBride, of the Hill, was 

 also early on the grounds. 



After the usual "blow off" my gun business had been attended 

 to bv the New York delegation, shooting commenced in earnest. 

 M. Dorrler led with 73. 73 closely followed by W. Rosenbaum's 

 71, 73, and H. Holges' 71, 71. While the others were looking for 

 the high honors Mr, Dorrler contented himself by resting, but 

 Michael had not long to rest, as little "Rosey" landed a 74 which 

 did not at all anit him; so crack, crack went the rifle, and before 

 long a full score of 75 and 73 was made by Dorrler. Then Messrs. 

 Zettler and Holges started to even up with "Rosey" and Dorr- 

 ler, but with poor success, as luck seemed to he against both of 

 these gentlemen; and about this time Mr. Ross, who had been so 

 buiet in and tor a time the markers had plenty to occupy their 

 inie. 



Later in the evening the dear "Birdie" Vogel, of the Miller 

 Rifle Club, and Mr. McCoy, of New York, arrived, but neither of 

 these gentlemen were able to get the worm Dorrler had secured. 



J. Rebhan and A. Malz took a few hits at the targets, but did 

 nor benefit their previous scores very much. The attendance 

 during the evening was very large, and a great many friends 

 dropped in and enjoyed the excitement, among them being 

 noticed Messrs. Trainor and McCoy, &. W. Morgan, W. B. Sim- 

 mons, J. Reynolds, O. Segar. Dr. Goode, T, T. Reynolds, A. Plog, 

 G. Plog, Capf. Reinhardt, Palisade. R. C, and others. After the 

 close of the shoot a grand collation was served by the club, and if 

 any one went away hnngry it was because they could not enjoy 

 good "sole leather" and "Jersey" lightning, as there was an 

 abundance of everything and from the general expression every- 

 body was well pleased. 



The prizes on the ring target were distributed by Capt. Hansen 

 and Secretary Bird, after v/hich three rousing cheers were given 

 and all retired, leaving the headquarters in darkness and having 

 enjoyed a good evening. The following scores were made on 

 German ring target, three shots, possible 75: 



M Dorrler 75 73-148 L Vogel 70 70—140 



W Rosenbaum 74 72—146 OZettler, Jr 69 69—138 



H Holges 73 72— X45 H Hansen 68 68-136 



J Rehhan 74 71-145 M McCoy 66 62-138 



F Ross 73 72—144 C E Bird 59 57—116 



A Malz 73 70-143 J J Evans 55 54-109 



Before the close of the shoot "Birdie" Vogel offered to chal- 

 lenge M. Dorrler to shoot a 100 shot match, open sight rifles. 

 200yd8., on Sunday, Nov. 5. and it is a question whether "Birdie" 

 has as muck baokboDe tomeet his oppoaent as he has ofwlnfl. 

 Oue thing ia ceitaia, that his fate is doomed If he appears for the 



match, and several H. R. 0. members have alreadv rffered big 

 odds on Dorrler. The E&OIjE. 



The oflacers and members of the H. R. O. offer their heartfelt 

 sympathies to Mr. John Coppersmith, of Newark, N. J-L,for the 

 loss of one near and dear to him and bis family.— C E. Bird,

Rifle Shooting Under Difficulties. 



JiTSX imagine a wind that varies at short intervals from fifteen 

 to thirty-five miles nn hour and switches like a flaf h anywhere 

 from "4" to "13" o'clock and you have an inkling of the conditions 

 under which was held last Saturday's practice of the First 

 Brigade Rifle Association at the Newark Shooting Park. The 

 writer has shot over these ranges in all kinds of weather for a 

 number of years, but never has he seen such ahaffling wind as 

 that of Saturday. Using the Prankford ammunition (.45-^5-4'"5), the 

 members of the party were obliged at times to use from IJ^ to 

 1-3A oointB of wind on the "Buf&agton," and even this proved in- 

 sufBoient when an extra blast caught the bullet. Had the party 

 been shooting on an open range such as Sea Girt or Creedmoor. 

 they would have been unable to "keep on" to a 4X6 target, or evf n 

 to hold a rifle to the shoulder in some of the gusts. Only three 

 members reported and those who remained away were fortunate. 

 The scores made were as followa: 



Major D L Wallace 4 44444444 4-40 



444444444 .'i-41 

 444404343 4-34

4 3 4 4 5 5 4 5 4 4-42 

 455444444 4-42 



The association will shoot at the above range every Saturday 

 afternoon until further notice. Tne association is gaining 

 strength right along and its organizers intend if possible to secure 

 as members, every member and officer of the First Brigade, N. G.. 

 N. J., who is interested in the development of skill in the use of 

 the State arm, with a view to securing increased facilities for 

 practice. The only place at this time wh«* re the State troops can 

 shoot is at Sea Girt, fifty miles away from any command in the 

 brigade. The brigade needs one or more ranges for its own use 

 and if tbe above association gets proper support from the shoot- 

 ing men, both officers, non-com's and enlisted men, it will be able 

 to secure such ranges. Within a few months the association will 

 begin to practice on the 3Syd. range in the armory where they will 

 devote their attention to shooting from the prone as well as the 

 standing position.

 they were escorted by the Belleville band to the Shooting Park. 

 Then the fun commenced, and there was no eessition until 5 

 o'clock, when the targets were rung down. After the award of 

 prizes by tbeir genial president, Mr. D. 8chneidewind,the visitors
