boats. The incongruity between the atmosphere and surroundings of 

 the Studio Building and the work of modern designing and marine en- 

 gineering has become more and more'marlied, until one day a couple of 

 weeks ago Mi-. Smith hove up his "moorings, laid down in 1864, and 

 made sail for a new anchorage up on top of the big Havemeyer Build- 

 ing on Cortlandt street, with plenty of Ught and air and a view of 

 half the harbor. His woi'k at present is mainly in the Ime of larger 

 passenger steamers, and the continued success of the R. J. Peck is 

 likely to keep the new office busy. 



BIT. Paul Butler, the present o^Tier of the famous America, will keep 

 the old schooner in commission this year. 



The new flagship of tlie New York Y. C, Com. Morgan's steam yacht 

 May, will probably sail this week from England for New York. 



The Rogers cutter Colonia is nearly ready for the water, a.nd will 

 probably be put over on tlie high tides next week. The Morgan-Iselm 

 boat is now plated up, the entii-e plating, save a wide sheer strake, 

 being of Tobin bronze.

The wreck of the fast launch Yankee Doodle has been located by 

 divers after a search of two weeks, and she has been raised and 

 taken to Philadelphia, where she wiU be rebuilt or a new hull will be 

 built for the same boiler and engines, which are still serviceable, 

 though badly rusted. The wreck was found in 30ft. of water, covered 

 by a scow load of mud dumped on it, and about 600ft. below where 

 she was burned last fall. 



Audax, yawl, designed by John Hyslop for H, W. Baton, was

 don, giving a list and a brief Jiistor.y of the various yacht and sailing 

 clubs on the Thames, and a calendar of all the races scheduled for the 

 coming season, with charts of the up-river courses. The river boasts 

 in all of twenty clubs, 



According to a brief note in the Meld the 40-rater Queen Mab has 

 had her centerboard removed and other alterations made at Cowes. 

 So far as it goes, this is a conflrmatiou of the current report tjiat the 

 centerboard, after being tested last season, was foiiud to be of little or 

 no use. 



Vendetta, Admiral Montague's new 40, will have her lead in the form

 shall be taken ;3in. above the water line. The water fine shall be decer- 

 mined by ballasting the boat to her usual trim when the crew are not 

 on board, with no less than 21bs. of ballast for each square foot of 

 mainsaU. The inside ballast to be placed as directed by the measurer, 

 who shall keep in view the usual trim of the boat. No boat shall be so 

 ballasted in any race as to make her classified length more or less than 

 the extreme limits of her class, when the crew ai-e not on board. 

 Time Allowance — (b) The sailing length of a boat shall be the square 

 root of its sail area. Exception — (1) It shall not be computed at less 

 than the minimum length of its class. Number of Crew — ^Rule IX,—

Capt. Bixby, United States Army, has returned from a week's visit 

 to Vineyard Island Sound and vicinity, where he has contractors en- 

 gaged in removing several wrecks which have been obstructions to 

 navigation. The principal of these is the yacht Alva, and the captain 

 regrets to report this craft yet intact and practically in as good con- 

 dition as she was when the wreckers left her two or three months ago. 

 The sea appears to have little effect on the hull, and dynamite is little 

 more destructive. The contractors have, in the past month, detonated 

 nearly l,00Olbs. of dynamite, most of it upon the Alva. The damage 

 thus far done is to punch a few small holes m her deck and sides. But 

 the two coal barges Storm King and Zulu, which collided with the 

 yacht and theu sank, are cUstributed about the bottom of the sound, 

 so that r.lje\' f oj m no obstacle to other than crabs and flounders. The 

 work upon the Alva wUl be continued as weather permits. — Providence

The Toronto Sailing Skiff Club has removed into its new quarters 

 at the foot of Sherbom-ne sti-eet. The club house is an excellent 

 building with a main room 30 X 34.X15, which is at present the second 

 largest club room on the bay front. There are also board and dressing 

 rooms, each 10x13. There is a dressing and locker room on the 

 ground floor for the use of the members, and also a large space for 

 boats. The balcony leading from the main room extends the whole 

 length of the builduig, being 45ft. long and 12ft. wide, and from it can 

 be had a commanding view of the bay. Above this and in the centre 

 - of the buildiug is an offlcei'S' lookout, 12X13. This was built for the 

 convenience of race officials. The entrance to the club wiU be both 

 from the east and west. The platform on to the water is 55ft. long, 

 which will give ample accommodation for steamers to tie up. Mr. 

 Saulter, the builder, who is a member of the club, is to be compU- 

 mented for the fine and handsome structure he has erected on sucJi 

 short notice. The following fixtures have been made for the season: 

 Saturday, May 27, handicap race, open to all club boats under 25ft. 

 corrected length. Kaces for first class skiffs, 19 to ITtt. waterhne, will

The business heretofore carried on by Messrs. Gardner & Mosher 

 has been formed into a stock company which will undertake all work 

 in connection with the designing and building of yachts. 



Zettler Rifle Club. 



The Zettler Rifle Club held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday 

 night. May 3. As this was the time set for the distribution of the 

 prizes from the winter season shoot the attendance was somewhat 

 larger than usual. After the prizes had been distributed there was a 

 general inclination to do a little shooting. A team match was thought 

 to be a good scheme, and Messrs. Dorrler and Ross were induced to 

 act as cai)tains, and two teams were made up. The first match re- 

 sulted in a victory for Capt. Ross's team. The second match went in 

 favor of Capt. Dorrler 's team. At the close of the second match the 

 hour was so late that it was decided to postpone the shooting off of 

 the ties until the next meeting. The scores of the competmg teams 

 are appended, 5 shots per man, possible 125:

The members of the club met in Wissel's Cypress Hills Park on the 

 7th inst. for their third practice shoot. The weather conditions were 

 just such as the rifle crank delights in — a good dear light and wind 

 sufficient to sweep away the smoke. 



There was a goodly number of shooters pi-esent and many good 

 scores made. Geo. Joiner, one the old-time Creedmoor shooters, was 

 out and tried his hand with an old muzzleloader. Judging by the 

 score of Mr. Joiner one is incUned to the belief that there was too 

 much of a combination of age in man and gun. Barney Zettler sur- 

 prised all hands, himseif included, in his shooting to-day. He has of 

 late got into such a habit of making ordinary scores that his friends 

 had come tp the conclusion that Barney had become passe. His shoot- 

 ing, however, shows that he has a little reserved shooting force left 

 yet. B. Walther, the president of the club, was out too, but his gun 

 was where the HoUander left his anchor. Another veteran rifleman, 

 David Miller, of Hoboken, came out to the park in order to get his 

 rifle sighted and ready for the prize shoot, which comes off here on 

 the 14th and 1.5th inst. 



In the competition to-day Messrs. Ross and B, Zettler tied for the 

 highest individual score. The scores of the members will be found 

 appended, 10-shot scores, three scores to count:

Marten vs. !Libing«r. 



For two years past Messrs. Ignatz Marten, president of the Long 

 Island Real Estate Exchange, and PhiUp Libinger, the brewer, both of 

 whom are well known and prominent among the Eastern District busi- 

 ness men of Brooklyn, have had a match on hand to shoot for a dia- 

 mond trophy. Various circumstances have come up from time to 

 time to prevent the two shooters fi-om coming together to shoot off 

 the match. 



Wednesday, May 3, was finally agreed upon as the date upon which 

 the match should be shot off, and Deckleman's new Schuetzen Park in 

 Glendale, L. I., the place where it should take place. Invitations were 

 sent out to all the prominent riflemen in and about New York to be 

 present and witness the contest. Under ordinary circumstances there 

 would have been a large delegation of shooters present, but as the 

 weather clerk had not been consulted in the matter, he took it into his 

 head to make things very uncomfortable for those who had any desire 

 for travel on that particular day. A few intimate friends of the gen- 

 tlemen engaged in the contest braved a heavy northeast storm and 

 went out to the park, hoping that the weather would clear before the 

 time set for the match should arrive It was decreed otherwise, how- 

 ever, and the few devotees of the rifle who ventured out to the park in, 

 question had to do so at the expense of wet feet and various otber dis- 

 agi'eeable featm-es. 



The two contestants in their shooting abilities are very evenly 

 matched, and it was thought that the contest would be both close and 

 interesting. The second round in the match, however, was the rock 

 that wrecked the hopes of Libinger and his friends. 



Libinger's cartridges were loaded with the buUets seated well into 

 the shell and hard crimped, and the consequence was that on Libin- 

 gei-'s second shot one-half of the shell went out with the bullet. The 

 same thing happened in the third shot, giving him two misses in three 

 shots. While Marten's shooting was anything but brilliant, Libinger's 

 misfortunes and consequent poor holding gave Marten such a lead 

 that it was out of the question to make up the lost ground. The con- 

 ditions were 35 shots per man, German 25-ring target, distance 300yds. 

 The totals ai-e as follows: Ignatz Marten 460, PhUip Libinger 326. 



Excelsior Rifle Club. 



The first oflicial outdoor shoot of the Excelsior Club came off at the 

 Greenville (N. JO Schuetzen Park on Friday afternoon, May 5. 



The competition between Messrs. Boyce, Hughes, Hanson and 

 Speicher was very close and exciting. AVhen the last shots of the 

 quartette had been fitred and the totals counted up it was found that 

 the honors were divided between Messrs. Speicher and Hanson, with 

 310 to the credit of each. The scores of the members in the competi- 

 tion are appended: 10 shots, possible 250, distance 250yds.: P. P. 

 Hanson 310, J. Speicher 310, J. Hughes 305. 0. Thomas 303, O. C. Boyce 

 302, WiUiam Weber 179, M. Ryer 99. 



Greenville Rifle Club Gallery Shoot. 



Thk Greenville Club held its first weekly gallery shoot in the new 

 club house on Friday evening. May 5. To say tliat the members are 

 pleased with their new quarters hai-dly expresses their feehngs. 

 Fifteen members were on hand to compete for the club trophies. The 

 scores are appended: W. H. Robedoux 347, M. Dorrler 346, George 

 Purkess 245. F. C. Ross 243, W. C. Collms 239, C. Boag 239, H. Chavaut

 Spahn 227, J. HiU 232, AV. Pfeffer 313, A. Lembeck 812. 



RIFLE NOTES. 



The Zettler Club's two days' prize shoot opens in Wissel's Cypress 

 Hills Park, May 14. The programme shows a liberal outlay of cash 

 prizes. The ring target contains 30 prizes from $40 down to $1. The 

 man target 15 prizes from |30 to $2. The buUseye target 18 prizes 

 from $20 down to ffil. 



The Empu-e Club offers any shooter visiting its range. No. 12 St. 

 Mark's place, on the regular shooting nights, the following cash prizes: 

 $10 for a score of 250, $8 for a score of 248, $5 for a score of 246, and »2 

 for a score of 244. The entrance fee is 36 cents per score. This ought 

 to give some of the gallery experts an opportunity to earn a little pin 

 money. 



The friends of Messi-s. Marten and Libinger would be pleased to see 

 the two gentlemen come together again in a rifle match. Mr. Libinger 

 certainly can make a good average score when the conditions are nor- 

 mal. He is not satisfied with the'last shoot, and so far as Mr. Marten 

 is concerned, it seems to be a case of "Barkis is willin'." We there- 

 fore see no reason why the friends of the two gentlemen should not 

 have their wishes gratified in the near future. 



The Eastern Shooting Association or Schuetzen Bund wiU meet on 

 Friday night. May 11. The sub-committees from the nomination com- 

 mittee have been hustling for candidates for the permanent board of 

 officers, and it is to be hoped that they have been successful. 



Speaking of fake targets, we were very much interested in an anec- 

 dote we heard Barney Zettler relate one day last week of how he in 

 the presence of witnesses pretended to make a full score of 10 shots. 

 Barney said that every one of the witnesses would swear that they 

 saw the target shot, and yet it was a case of optical illusion. 



I met in my travels last week a rifle crank, a man who in business 

 matters has a good reputation for truth and veracity. He averred 

 that a few days before, at a distance of 233yds., on a machine rest, 

 he put 50 consecutive shots in a Sin, circle. I reminded him of that 

 old, old story of the boy and the hatchet, but the look of injured inno- 

 cence that he cast at me made me feel weary. 



Chicago Rifles. 



DEATH OF MR SCHOTTB. 



CmoAGO, lU., May 4.— The interests of rifle shooting in Chicago and 

 in the country at large, suffered a great loss in the death of Mr. 0- 

 Schotte, controller of the Chicago Schuetzen Verein, and secretary of 

 the International rifie tournament to be held in Chicago this summer. 

 Mr. Schotte died last Friday, April 28. He had been ill for some time, 

 but died at last suddenly and unexpectedly while up and clothed, and 

 in the attempt at carrying on his daily affairs. He was a large- 

 hearted man, and one of large abilities. His mastering of details had 

 done much toward pushing the World's Fah rifle shoot to success, 

 and his strong influence will be sadly missed. His funeral was 

 marked by a large concourse of mom^niog friends. 



A GOOD HIPLBMAN GONE. 



Mr. A. McBean, once of St Louis, bu£ lately of Chifago, one of the 

 best of the riflemen of either city, and a gentleman who has taken 

 great interest in rifle shooting and rifle matters here, leaves Chicago 

 this week and returns to St. Louis, where he may make his home for 

 a time at least. Mr. MoBean hopes to be on hand for the shooting in 

 the World's Fair rifle tournament, in whose interests he has been a 

 very useful factor. E. Hqugh.
