The committee earnestly request the members to send prize flags or 

 other prizes or money subscriptions for the purchase of the same, for 

 this meet. 



It is evident that the matter of prizes is important to the success of 

 the races, and it is hoped that the members, and especially the lady 

 associate members, will take pleasure by this means in expressing 

 their appreciation of the skifl and prowess of the men who have so 

 largely contributed in placing the American canoeists beside American 

 sailors and yachtsmen as the prize winners of the water. 



So it is hoped that each club will make a subscription, as has been 

 done at the Association meets, and members presenting flags or other 

 prizes may do so either through the club's secretary or directly to the 

 comniittee. 



As t)ie time is very short, members are urged to take the matter in 

 hand at once. 



Prizes and contributions or correspondence concerning same, should 

 be sent to R. B, Burchard, 7 East Forty-eighth street. New York, Very 

 respectfully. The Rk&.a.tta Committee, Atlantic Division, A. C, A,

Red Dragon Y. C. 



Philadelphia, June 10. — In the presence of a large number of guests, 

 the majority of whom were of the fair sex tastily attired in their 

 spring costumes, the re.eatta of the Red Dragon C. C, took place on 

 Saturday, the weatbei' iieit.g all that could be desired for a contest. 

 Numerous crafts from si n-roucdiog resorts were present making a 

 beautiful appearance upon the river. 



The paddling races were ordered first, and in- the single paddUng 

 race the entries were: Ardee, H, Fleischman: Kie Loe, J.M.Hamil- 

 ton ; Enid, J. Van Dusen ; Her Name, M. D. Wilt, They finished in the 

 order given above; Ardee winning easUy. 



The tandem race followed the canoes in their order of finishing be- 

 ing: Ardee, H. Fleischman and R, G, Fleischman; Enid, A, S, Feni- 

 moreand D, MacCormick; Her Name, J, Van Dusen and M. D. Wilt, 

 Ardee. winning both races, is the decked paddling canoe designed by 

 H, MacCormick: she has proved herself the speediest canoe in the 

 club. 



In the sailing race great interest centered owing to the introduction 

 of the Sharpie canoe Pu-ate and Smuggler, the former carrying 120sq. 

 ft., the latter llOsq. ft, of sail. The entries were: Pirate, H, Mac- 

 Cormick: Kie Loe. F. W. Noyes: Smua-gler, D. A, MacCormick; Polly- 

 wog. R. G, Fleischman: Pic-nic, Capt, Norgrave: Oni, Scott; Savanac, 

 W. Gray: Alga, AV. Blumner. They passed the line in the order given. 

 During'the second round of the triangle the Pirate, although unseen 

 by the judges fouled the buoy and the race was awarded the Kie Loe. 

 Mr. Noyes would not accept the prize as he said "he was fairly beaten, 

 notwithstanding the Pirate's mizen boom grazed the buoy flag,"' After 

 the races the members and guests repaired to the club house where a 

 luncheon was served. 



It is the intention of a number of the members to attend the Atlantic 

 Division meet, and they are endeavoring to have Messrs. Fleischman 

 and JIacCormiek with their canoes accompany them to show that 

 althou.gh fui thest removed from the canoeing center, the R, D. C. C. 

 is rapidl.y increasing, numerically, and is alive to the sport awaking 

 an interest that has been dormant in this locality. 



The club extend their thanks to Dr. Hollingworth, of the Atlantic 

 City Mosquito Fleet: Mr, Gideon and friend of Philadelphia Y, C. for 

 their kindness in acting as judges in the races, F. O, G. 



Eastern Division Meet. 



The arrangements for the Eastern Division meet at Haddam Island, 

 June 36, 17, 18 and 1!), are now nearly completed and everything gives 

 promise of a large and successful meet. The committee have just 

 returned from a visit to the camp site on the island and report the 

 ground as dry, sandy and well grassed, making it an ideal spot for a 

 camp. 



All jjarties wishing to engage rooms or floors for tents must notify 

 the purser to that effect as soon as possible, and he will do the best 

 he can to see that all are accommodated, and it will greatly facilitate 

 the labors of the committee in charge if all who expect to attend the 

 meet will notify the purser at an early date whether they intend to 

 camp or not. Owing to the limited capacity of the hotel at Rock 

 Landing, all who can are urged to bring their camp equipage. The 

 spacious and commodious steam ferryboat Gildersleeve will ply 

 between Walkley Hill, Rock Landing and the camp for the free trans- 

 portation of A, C. A. men and their duflie. The ladies are especially 

 invited to be present; their headquarters will be at Rock Landing, 

 Weather permitting, there will be a grand illumination of the camp 

 and a lantern parade, so please come prepared with Chinese lanterns

Milwaukee Canoe Races. 



The JIahn-a-wauk C. C.'s opening regatta on Decoration Day was 

 satisfactory in every way. The day was an ideal one and thousands of 

 spectators viewed the races from the park overlooking the lake. The 

 course for the sailing race was laid in the form of a triangle, with half 

 mile sides. For the three-mile race the following canoes were entered : 

 Electra, Avis, Canuck No. 3, Perhaps and Peg, The last named had a 

 start of 8m. in this contest and Perhaps 4m,, the balance starting 

 scratch. The race was beautifully safled by all participants, but the 

 scratch boats were unable to overcome the advantage given the Per- 

 haps and Peg, the latter losing the race owing to a foul at the last 

 buoy. The corrected times are as foUows: Electra, 35m, 45s. ; Avis, 

 37m, ; Perhaps, 38m, 58s, ; Peg, 4:3m, 55s, ; Canuck, 52m, 



The 1}4 mile saUing race was really won by the Electra, which fouled, 

 however, at the home buoy. The Perhaps and Peg were given respect- 

 ively 2m, and 8m, start of the Electra. The corrected times were as 

 follows: Electra, 21m, 18s, ; Perhaps, 23m, 9s, ; Peg, 25m. 35s, 



The paddUng race was won by Merrill, with Mathes second and Mer- 

 rill third. 



The next series of races occur on June 10, 



The Marine and Field Regatta. 



The committee having the canoe races in charge have decided to 

 drop the club fours paddhng race. Event 5 on the published pro- 

 gramme, and to change Event 1, senior sailing, to a sailing race for 

 juniors — men who have never won an A, C, A, sailing race, or a saUing 

 race in which the members of more than one club took part. The pro- 

 gramme therefore includes: 1, Junior SaiUng, 6 miles, 2, Cruisers 

 Sailing, 6 miles, for boats of 18ft, or under. 3, Club Sailing Race for 

 canoes, 6 miles, one man to represent each club; and the Marine and 

 Field Club cup, 6 mUes, for canoes. 



The change from seniors to juniors, it is hoped, wiU interest many of 

 the younger men, who are doing good saiUng, and give them a chance 

 of winning a jjrize without competing with the cracks. Entries should 

 be sent in at once to W. S. EUiott (chairman of the committee on canoe 

 regatta), 107 Hudson street, New York, 



Toronto C. C. International Trophy. 



The race for the above trophy wUl be held on Saturday, July 22. 

 Mr. R. G. Muntz, the present holder, will endeavor to defend his right 

 to it, and all Toronto canoeists will be pleased to welcome any speedy 

 paddlers to try conclusions with him and other Toronto paddlers. 



Competitors can have free use of club as long as they wish to re- 

 main. 



Information will be gladly furnished on application to

THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



Mr. W. E, Pbttv scored his third consecutive victory in the revol- 

 ver championship series last Thursday night, with the creditable 

 string of 20,9.5in,, by defeating Mr, H, A, Heintz, who challenged him 

 immediately after his match with Walther, 



The contest took place at the range 12 St. M<ark's place. New Y^ork, 

 in the presence of a number of interested spectators. 



The conditions were the same as those of previous matches, 30 

 shots at 20yds., of which three strings of 6 shots each were to count. 

 By string measurement air. Petty broke no records, and while his 

 shooting was not so good as that credited to him in previous matches, 

 it averages well and shows only one shot out of the 30 fired more 

 than 2^in. from the center of the target. That one shot ofl: the 

 disk spoiled what would otherwise have been his best string. 



Mr, Heintz did not shoot in his usual form and his scores give no 

 i.l°a of his capabUity, He has done work of a much higher order 

 witli a pocket revolver, as scores in the possession of Forest and 

 Stream will show. The cause of his poor shooting last Thursday is 

 to be found in his nervous temperament. His experience in match 

 shooting has not been such as to give him the steadiness required. 



Previous to the match Mr. Petty, while warming up his revolver, 

 made a string of six shots that is better than anything done so far 

 in competition. After the shooting was over it was measured along 

 with the other targets and the total cUstance of the six shots from 

 the center was found to be but 3,56in, This beats Ben Copeland"s 

 string of 4,51; but as it was not shot in competition the latter will 

 stand as the best single string to date, 



Mr, Petty wore on this occasion the handsome badge of the Sons of 

 the American Revolution, of which society he has recently become a 

 member. He comes of an old Long Island family, who by service 

 done their country by flood and field in the Revolution, entitled the 

 revolver champion to this distinction. 



The shooting began at 9 P, M,, and it was just an hour before the 

 sixtieth and last shot had been fired, Mr, Petty used a ,44 S, & W, 

 revolver, shooting 9grs, powder and 119J4grs. lead, Mr. Heintz shot 

 his ,32-44 S, & W. with a charge of 7grs, iJowder and 85grs. lead. Both 

 contestants shot on a IJ^in, black. 



The scores in detail are as follows:

The trophy has changed hands three times since it was formally 

 declared to Dr. Louis Bell June 9, 1892, as winner a.mong 40 contestants 

 in the preliminary competition. 



Dr, Bell's winning score was 17.52in, for IS shots, Aug, 3, 1892, Geo, 

 E, Jantzer won the trophy from Dr, Bell with a string of 22,5in. Mr, 

 Jan zer held the trophy from this date until Dec. 3, having in the 

 meanwhile defeated Ids first challenger, Henry Oehl, on Oct! 15. He 

 succumbed, however, to his second challenger, W, E, Petty, in the best 

 match of the series, scoring 20,49 against Petty's 15,31in,, which latter 

 is the record for 18 shots, 



W, E, Petty met his first challenger, Bernard Walther, on tlie night 

 of Feb. 4, 1893, and defeated him, the respective scores being 21.34 and 

 22.36in, 



The match with Heintz, in which Petty scored 20.95in,, brings the 

 record up to date, 



National Schuetzen Bund. 



In our issue of May 18, in the report of the meeting of the delegates 

 of the United Eastern Shooting Societies (Oestlicher Schuetzen Bund), 

 we made the remark that the O. S, B,, after a two months' existence 

 was still in embryo. We are now in position to offer our hearty con- 



fratulations to the rifle fraternitj' of the entire country over the 

 appy results of what at one time looked like utter failure. The O, S 

 B, has passed through the various stages of natural development, and 

 stands to-day a healthy and well-developed infant. It has been 

 christened and is now known as the National Schuetzen Bund of the 

 United States of America, 



At the meeting on Friday night, June 9, all the principal societies re- 

 turned their delegates qualified with full powers, and in the mpantime 

 the sub-committees from the two general committees on constitution 

 and nominations had been hard at work and had made excellent pro- 

 gress. The meeting was called to order with ex-Capt. Fred Cook, of 

 the New York Corps, as temporary chairman. The first matter of 

 interest to come before it was the report of the constitution committee 

 chairman, Mr. Zeller. The report was read and adopted article by arti- 

 cle, with only one or two minor changes of form. The schedule of 

 initiation fees for clubs and societies joining the bund is identical 

 with that reported in our issue of May 18. With the clearing away of 

 constitutional matters came the report of the chairman of the nomi- 

 nation committee, B. Walther. After speaking of the elforts of the 

 committee to select the best men and to flt them in their proper 

 places in the Bund, in order to bring out the combined strength of the 

 entire board as a unit, he placed the name of Wm. Von Weber, captain 

 of the Independent New York Corps, before the meeting as the candi- 

 date of the committee for president of the Bund, The nomination was 

 received with applause and on motion was made unanimous. 



As IVIr, Weber was escorted to the platform he received such an ova- 

 tion as to make it plain to all that he will receive the unqualified sup- 

 port of his constituents in his efforts, to forward the interests of the 

 Bund, Mr. L, Zeller, of the Harlem Independent Corps, was the nom- 

 inee for first; Mr. Henry Offer man, captain of the New York Corps, 

 for second; Mi-. A Richter, captain of the New York Central Corps, 

 for third, and Mr, Ohi'is Rehm, captain of the New York City Corps, 

 for fourth vice-president. These nominations were made unanimous. 

 Fred Baumann, secretary of the New Y''ork Central Corps, was nomi- 

 nated for recording secretary, and C. F. Roedel, secretary of the New 

 York City Corps, for corresponding secretary; Henry Behrens, of the 

 Independent New York Corps, for financial secretary; ex-Capt. Geo. 

 Wehrenburg, of the New York Corps, treasurer. B. 'fValthe -, presi- 

 dent of the Zettler Rifle Club, was nominated for first shooting master; 

 Wm. Hayes, of the Newai'k Shooting Society, second, and Geb Krauss, 

 of the Williamsburg Corps, thu-d. Executive Committee— Capt, F. 

 Cooke, New York Corps, chairman; Capt, Hancken, Harlem Corps; 

 Capt, Geo, R. Fredericks. Hoboken Corps; Capt. A. Erxmeyer, Hobo- 

 ken Independent Corps; Capt. F, Witte, Brooklyn Corps, 



It was voted to make the headquarters of the German-American 

 Society the permanent headquarters of the Bund, 



It was voted to hold the first festival in 1895, and to hold triennia 

 festivals thereafter. 



It was also voted that one-third of the initiation fee of all clubs and 

 societies joining the Bund shall be payable at the caUof the treasurer. 

 The meeting then adjourned subject to the call of the president. 



New York Schuetzen Corps. 



The monthly outing of the New York Corps, Capt, Fred Cook, came 

 off at Union HUl Schuetzen Park, on Friday, June 9 A large number 

 were present in a mood for shooting. The Zettler brothers, with their 

 assistants, were kept busy from start to finish loading and dealing out 

 ammunition to the shooters. Now that the Bundesfest is an assured 

 fact, there is sure to be a large increase in the membership of all the 

 shooting societies, and a consequent increased attendance at the prac- 

 tice shoots. The scores are appended.
