FOREST AND STREAM. 



fJtJira 8 1898 



of 1892 was not- only the most competent which the Association has 

 ever known, but its worlc in all other respects was done so thoroughly 

 and satisfactorily tliat ii is all the more regretable that this peculiar 

 view Qt its duties should have led it to decline one of the most 

 important of them. . 



Although we are not qualifled to speak officially, we venture to say 

 in aTiswer to Mr. Vaux's questions, and for the guidance of racing 

 men, that the hmit of drop, 18in., still exists ia the racing class, but 

 that there is absolutely no limit to the ballast or the weight of ceater- 

 board. In the cruising class the centerboard must house within the 

 limits of keel and coaming or deck. 



The Atlantic Division Meet. 



^So^I-de\a?etIne"^^^^^^ having at last appeared, the commit- 

 tee in charge of the preparations for the Atlantic Division meet m 

 jtfly have lone forwird with energy, and it is expected that all ar- 

 ranLuients will now soon be completed. They wiU be found fully set 

 fortii in the circular.s of the various committees and it only remains to 

 outline the conclusions to which the executive committee have arrived 

 as to the general features of the camp. , , „ ^ , 



As therl seems to be quite a desire that the meet shall partake more 

 of the nature of camp life than has of late been the custorn, the com- 

 mittee escaped a very troublesome piece of business by deciding to 

 have no general mess. Accordmgly no caterer has been engaged and 

 a general mess will not be one of the features of the camp of 9.3. No 

 canoeist need hesitate, therefore, to bring his frying pan and cooking 

 outfit, however battle-scarred or unimposing. At the sanie time 

 canoeists are not prohibited from making any arrangements tor mess- 

 ing among themselves, and the members of a club may, if they wish, 

 mess together and bring a cook. 



To prevent the accumulation of litter which generally accompanies 

 camp cookery, garbage barrels mil be provided into which refuse must 

 be thrown, particularly broken glass and empty tins. Lumber for 

 floors and ^vood for fires will be provided, the former to be paid for by 

 those using it, and the latter to be free. A few tents will be provided 

 by the camp site committee for the use of those having none, or 

 coming for a night or two only. A small charge will be made for 

 these to cover the expense of rental, and it will therefore not be neces- 

 sary for such persons to impose on their friends for a night's shelter. 



There will be no racing on July 4, in order that the canoeists and the 

 racingmenparticularly may take in the several yachting events in 

 the neighborhood on that day, but there possibly maybe an okltime 

 celebration on the island that night, with music, speeches and fire- 

 works, and perhaps an hiformal lantern parade. 



There certainly will be a ladies' camp on Squaw Point. There does 

 not seem to be any sound reason for abandoning this pleasant feature 

 of the meets, but every reason for encouraging its perpetuation. 



The neighborhood of Captain's Island abounds in pretty islands and 

 other localities to afford short cruises, and it is hoped that every pad- 

 dling canoe in the Division will be brought to. make these cruises 

 available. It would be but a fitting testimonial to the father of canoe- 

 ing, the late Mr. Macgregor, i£ the paddlers, by their mcreased num- 

 bers at the meet, showed their appreciation of the form of the sport 

 of which he was most fond. 



The racing course is particularly fine, and a good view of the water 

 course can be had from the island. 



Every club which is represented at the meet is requested to send a 

 club flag to be hoisted in front of its quarters in the camp. Poles will 

 be specially erected for that purpose, but half -yards and blocks should 

 be sent with the flag. The poles will be about 30ft. high. 



A very fine beach is one of the principal attractions of the camp, 

 and as the bathing house is apt to become popular, it would be well to 

 include yom- bathing suits in your outfit. 



There is said to be very good fishing off the rocks on the east shore, 

 so handlines might perhaps be best brought along also. 



A steam launch will run fi-om the island to Portchester to connect 

 with trams on the N. Y., N. H. & H. J. R. Lake, Vice-Com.

Errors in Rule I. 



Editor Forest and Stream : 



I have received the A. O. A. Year Book for 1893, and congratulate 

 the secretary on its arrangement, contents and appearance. When 

 the lti92 book was issued 1 called attention to the new wording of Rule 

 J., the deflnitiou of a. canoe, and asked through your valuable pubhca- 

 tlon if it was correct as printed. I befieve no satisfactory answer 

 was given to that quesllon. Wh.at seems to me to be an error occurs 

 again in the present bijol;:. If the rule is correct, then not a single 

 canoe in last year's trophy race should have been allowed to sail, for 

 the conterboards of all — if I am not in error— projected above the 

 coanu'/ig when hauled up. Two other points need light also. Does 

 the present rule permit the use of lead on the centerplate? Is the 

 ch-op of centerboard below keel limited to 18in. as formerly, or not? 

 It seems to me these are imx)ortant questions. C. Bowtteb Vattx. 



CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



The house of the Jersey City C. C, formerly the Crescent, located 

 near the canal on Newark Bay shore at Greenville, was burned down 

 onMay 28, the fire being undoubtedly of hacendiary origin. This is the 

 third house of the club on the same spot which'has been burned by 

 incendlarle.s. It was insm-ed in a Southern companjf. 



Mr T. S. Oxholm has sold his racer Glenwood and purchased the 

 bUgeboard canoe En Garde from D. 8. Goodsell, also of the Yonkers 0 

 C. He will change the name to Chiquita. The canoe was designed by 

 Mr. Goodsell after tlie lines of Guenn, published in the Forest «jb

Greenville vs. Hudson. 



The Greenville (N. J.) Shooting Park was the center of attraction 

 for the rifle shooting fraternity of Hudson county on Tuesday, it 

 being the occasion for the shooting off of the match between teams 

 from the Greenville Rifle Club and the Hudson Rille Club, also a side 

 match between Capt A. Braun and Geo. W. Plaisted against John 

 Rebhan and H. Mahlenbrock. The clubs were represented by teams 

 of 10 men each, the conditions of match 10 shots per man, the stakes 

 one of Armbruster's famous dinners. 



The side match between Messrs. Braun and Plaisted against Messrs. 

 Rebhan and Mahlenbrock called for 50 shots per man. 



The Hudson team and their friends came to the park in a huge 

 barge with their colors flying and Steuber tooting his calliope; the 

 Greenvilles, under the lead of Capt. W. H. Robidoux, received the 

 Hudsons and escorted them to the shooting house, where preMmi- 

 nary practice was in order. Max Engel, one of the famous Zettler 

 Club members, was decided upon as referee. As soon as the details 

 connected with the match were settled the referee called time and 

 the match was started. At the commencement of the race every- 

 thing looked well for the Hudsons, who led off with good bulls or 

 centersi while the Greenvilles seemed to have a fit of ague. As the 

 match progressed the Hudsons seemed to be attacked with the same 

 malady, and it was nip and tuck between some of the men of both 

 teams, apparently, as to how near they could get to the edge of the 

 target without missing it altogether. The reputation of some of the 

 old riflemen was severely damaged before the match closed, and they 

 will have to do some fine shooting in the future to recover their 

 prestige. 



As the appended scores show, the Greenvilles won and the Hud- 

 sons escorted the farmers to the dinmg hall of the Hotel Ambruster, 

 where the evening was devoted to feasting and social intercourse.

Excelsior Kifle Club. 



The regular weekly shoot of the Excelsior Club for class medals on 

 Tuesday night, the 30th ult., at headquarters. No. 78 Montgomery st., 

 brought out a very smaU number of shooters, only four members 

 competing. The out-door shoot of the club at Armbruster's Park 

 on Friday was highly disappoiutuig to all interested in the club's 

 welfare. Captain Hansen and Wm, Weber looked extremely lonesome, 

 when I dropped into the shooting house on that occasion. Capt. 

 Hansen's best seoi-e was 211 and Weber's best 208. Gallery shoot. 10 

 shots, possible 250, distance 75ft; Jas. Hughes 235, C. Bauchle 3.33, 

 R. H. Duff 229, C. Thomas 226. o . , 



Greenville Rifle Club. 



The regular Friday night practice of the Greenville Club was held at 

 the club house on the 2d lust. Cohn Boag made the highest score of the 

 evening. The new club house and its ranges are growing in popular- 

 ity with the members. While^ouly one night in the week is devoted to 



Zettler Rifle Club. 



The regular practice shoot of the Zettler Club, at Cypress Hills, on 

 the 4th inst., brought out twelve members who went into the compe- 

 tition for club prizes. The weather conditions were of the worst pos- 

 sible nature up to nearly 11 o'clock, when the sun succeeded in drying . 

 up the heavy mist that had been enveloping the park all of the early- 

 part of the day. President Walther was on hand and in Lioparent good ■ 

 form; he started off his score with three 24s and a 25, and the conse- 

 quence was that the worthy president soon had aU hands hovering 

 near, hoping that they might see a record made; the fifth shot, a 20, 

 destroyed all chances for record making. Under certain weather •< 

 conditions the Cypress Hills range is one of the most difficult ranges 

 in or about New York to shoot over. The stretch of water lying 

 between the shooting house and the targets has a most peculiar effect 

 upon the elevation and windage of the rifle: these features are a con- 

 tinuous source of annoyance, and one is never sure as to the location 

 of the wind or the variation in the fight. The lubricated bullet seems 

 to be In favor with these experts, yet Messrs. Holges and Ross both 

 shot thin Shalk barrels to-day and with good results, in fact there , 

 seemed to be just about humidity enough in the atmosphere to keep 

 the rifle in good working condition. Ten shot scores, two scores to 

 count, distance 200yd8. :

Right-Hand and Left-Hand Shots. 



Conun's Gallery, New York, May :30.— Inclosed you will find two 

 targets made by Mr. Geo. Bird, the celebrated revolver shot. They ' 

 were made at a distance of 12yds., 12 consecutive shots, 6 with the 

 right hand and 6 with the left-a feat which Is seldom accomplished; , 



with left hand. with right hand. 



Revolver Targets by Geo. Bird. 



and as Mr. Bird has not been shooting of late it is still more reuiark 

 able. As you will see, the ordinary white target was not used, bui 

 one of a fight salmon color, which, alter a number of e.\ periiuents, I 

 have found to be superior to any yet known and which I intend to ; 

 adopt with an entirely new target. James S. Conlin. 



The Miller Club Prize Shoot. 



The seventh annual prize shoot of the Mler Rifle Club, of Hoboken, 

 N. J., was brought to a most successful closeat Pohlmanu's Park, Jer- 1 

 sey City Heights, on Monday night, the 5th Inst. Delegations of rifle- 

 men from all the prominent shooting societies In and about New York, 

 were present to compete for the cash prizes. The four targets open 

 for the shooters were in continuous use up to the closing hour. While 1 

 this shoot proved to be a success financially and otherwise, there was i 

 a universal feeling among the competing riflemen that one experience 

 in that particular shooting stand was sufficient for all time, and that, 

 it would not be to the Interest of the Miller Club to risk another 

 attempt at drawing the fraternity together again at tbat point. 



Among the many shooters present we noticed several visitors fromi 

 the outlying districts about New York. From Port Chester were 

 Messrs. Bachman, Rudd and Smith. From Staten Island, H. Meyer 

 and others. From Wilhamsburgh, Hans Weber; G. D. AVeigman from; 

 Newark. The Zettler Club was represented by its president, B. Wal- 

 ther, H. Holges, F. Ross, M. Dorrler and others; John Bodenstab 

 from the Harlem Rifle Club, Capt. li. P. Hansen from the Excelsiors, 

 Jersey City; Val Horn from the Heidenreich Club. M. Dorrler (from 

 Greenvillej was on hand early the first day, badly crippled with rheu-' 

 matism; he made scores of 74 and 75, a total of 149 points out of a pos- 

 sible 150. The Harlem Joker says he Is going to spend a week in the 

 Greenville district looking for a dose of that particular rheumatic 

 stiffness. He hopes It is catching.
