§madng. 



Two correspondents take exception to our comments last week on 

 the Atlantic Divi.sion meet, but there is nothing in t heir statements 

 which was not considered by us in writing as we did, after a very un- 

 pleasant personal experience, which we shared with a number of 

 others equally desirous of reaching camp. We were fully aware, as 

 Mr. Smith states, that the selection of the site was made hastily after 

 other plans had failed, but the conditions at OaiJtain'B Island would 

 probably have been much the same, a still greater distance from the 

 railroad to the shore, and then a mile or so of water with no means 

 provided by the committee for crossing it. 



The trouble hes in selecting a site which can only be reached cer- 

 tainly and surely by a steam launch; when, either from lack of funds 

 or neglect on the part of the committee, no such means is provided. 



It may be possible, as Mr. Smith states, to get from Chimmons 

 Island to New York in an hour and twenty minutes, but on the other 

 hand there are time.s when the only train during a whole long day 

 takes an hour and three-q\iarters. schedule time, from South Nor- 

 walk to New York. No doubt the islands are very beautiful and pos- 

 sess many advantages, but under the circumstances we still consider 

 the arrangements as very defective. 



Our experience covers rf'longer time than Mr. Dorland's letter indi- 

 cates, we were unfortimate enough to be in South Norwalk from 5 P. 

 M. on Saturday until A. M. on Sunday, and during all this time 

 there was no means of reaching camp but by an open boat, starting in 

 the rain late at night, and with no reasonable certainty of getting 

 anywhere in the faint breeze. A boat was promised to leave for the 

 camp at 8 A. M. on Sunday, but up to 9 o'clock it was not visible, and 

 the necessity of reaching New Y"ork that night made it necessary to 

 take the only train during the day. There was ample time to have 

 reached camp on Saturday before the storm came up, but there was 

 no boat, and by the time one was ready the storm was about breaking. 



If this were a solitai-y instance we should not have commented on it 

 at all, but it has been, and from all appearances is still likely to be, 

 the regular thing to blunder over the matters of location and trans- 

 portation. The exact cost of ttie present meet is not yet known, but 

 it is certain to prove a very expensive camp, and in any case, enough 

 money has been spent to have afforded, with judicious management, 

 suitable means of reaching and returning from it. 



The B. C. A. Meet, Lough Erne. 



The seventh annual meet of the British Canoe Asssociation will 

 begin on July 31 and terminate on Aug. SI, the camp being located at 

 Derrygore, near Enniskillen, on Lough Erne, Ireland. The general 

 regulations of the camp are as follows: 



Friends of members and any one already a member of a recognized 

 canoe or sailing club may join the camp on payment of 10 shillings, 

 such subscription to be counted as the annual subscript! m to the 

 B. C. A. for 1893 in case of election, application to be made to the vice- 

 commodore not later than July 2Cto Elm View, Maple Road, Sm-biton, 

 and after that date at the camp. 



Any gentleman thus attending the camp agrees to abide by the 

 rules and regulations which may be made by the camp officers. 



"Married Quarters" will be arranged for near main camp if suffi- 

 cient names are sent in and will be in charge of the senior married 

 lady camping. The services of a camp attendant and a boy with 

 boat will he at the disposal of members. A large committee tent will 

 be erected, at which it is proposdto hold camp dinners each evem'ng, 

 and a piano will be provided for sing-songs, etc. There wdl be the 

 usual camp kitchen under the charge of camp attendant. A supply 

 of paraffin and methylated spirits will be on sale. Members must 

 make their own arrangements as to getting supplies at Enniskillen, 

 but probably some of the tradesmen will call at camp for orders ; 

 milk, eggs and water can be obtained close by camp. Very few, if 

 any. sailing boats can be hned at Enniskillen. All members attend- 

 ing this meet are specially requested to fly the burgee and wear the 

 badge of the association. Members are requested to bring an assort- 

 ment of flags and Chinese lanterns, etc., for the decoration of the 

 camp, and also for an illuminated procession of canoes if thought 

 desirable. All those who can contribute to the amusement of the 

 camp, either vocally or instrumentally, are requested to bring their 

 instruments and music for the purpose of holding "camp-fires" dur- 

 ing the meet. Lodgings can be obtained close by the lake, at Ennis- 

 kifien, at reasonable charges. There is excellent fishing to be obtained; 

 salmon and trout are preserved, but any one can fish for pike, jDerch, 

 etc. Although the camp is a fixed one, it is proposed to make several 

 excursions ui> and down the lake, camping out for the night and re- 

 turning the next or following day. Such arrangements will be dis- 

 cussed at the camp dinners and a programme posted on the camp 

 notice board, which members can avail themselves of or not as they 

 wish. During the meet a B. C. A. regatta will be arranged. Letters 

 or telegrams for members at the camp should be addressed— British 

 Canoe Association Camp, in care of J. Arthur Irwin, Esq., Derrygore, 

 Enn'skillen. The annual general meeting of the association will be 

 held on Aug. 10, preceded by dinner at 7 P.M., at Enniskillen. All 

 members are particularly requested to be present.

The Atlantic Division Meet. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Kindly permit me to differ most decidedly with your comments on 

 the location of the Atlantic Division meet at Chimrnons Island. I 

 was one of those unfortunates who were not able to spend two weeks, 

 but did run ujj from New York oli two occasions to spend two or 

 three days in camp. On both occasions there was little delay in get- 

 ting to the island, and after arriving there, although we were con- 

 siderably bothered Saturdaj^ and Sunday, July 1 and 3, with mosqui- 

 toes (owing to the high grass at that time on the island and sultry 

 weather) I found the camp very pleasantly located, in good cruising 

 grounds and amid a group of islands that I for one should be 

 pleased to return to. 



Your genial editor should bear in mind that his attempt to get to 

 camp wa.s imsuccessful very largely on account of the heavy rain and 

 wind storm of that evening. Had he arrived earlier in the day he 

 would have reached camp and formed very different ideas regarding 

 it; and after the storm the crew of the war canoe which went over 

 to Norwalk, unfortunately did not locate him. Irving T. Dobi<and. 



Editor Forest and Stream; 



Having just read yoiu- severe ariScle on the A. C. A. meet at Chim- 

 mons Island, I think I ought to, in justice to the hard working mem- 

 bers of the camp site committee say a few words in their behalt: First, 

 they had completed their arraugements to go to Captaici s Island off 

 Greenwich and at the last moment discovered some of tlie r.wners of 

 Captain's Island obiected to the camp being located th«re and the com- 

 mittee then had to look about for another site and accepted my offer 

 of Chimmons Island; I too was very sorry so few days iuteiwened 

 before the opening day, and the committee worked hard to make the 

 camj) what it should be and provide eomumnieation with the main 

 land, but for want of time no boat could be had for daiiy use to and 

 from the depot. If I may be permitted though the pleasure of having 

 the A.C.A. meet again at Chimmons Island, I assure you as well as the 

 members of the association a far pleasanter time, the gi-ass will be cut, 

 beaches cleared of sea-weed and the island will assume a ship-shape 

 look, and furthermore it will be easy of access, but this time please 

 consider the suddenness of the call and remember no other meet ever 

 had this sadden change of all their plans to contend with, and I tliiuk 

 you will agree with me that this was after all a pleasant camp— it is 

 reached fronj New York in an hour and twenty minutes with a proper 

 launch, and with time to secure one there need be no excuse for not 

 finding here a perfect camping site for the A.C.A. and they are always 

 welcomes Warren E. Smith.

A. C. A. Notes. 



Tke telegraph cable of the G. N. W. Co. crosses Wolfe Island at 

 Brophy"s Point, and the company's agent at Kingston has promised 

 to station an operator at the Point during the meet in Augtist, if re- 

 quested to do so. This will prove a great convenience to members 

 and will enable newspaper correspondents to send off reports more 

 readily than has hitherto been possible. 



Mr. Brophy has sent a good piano down to the Point. As there is a 

 dancing floor on the ground this combination ought to prove a pleas- 

 ing one to members. 



Sir. Carruthers, chairman of the regatta committee, is fitting out 

 his handsome steam yacht, the Marquis of Lome, and wiU have her on 

 hand in August to use in laying out courses, etc. 



Negotiations are in progress regarding a boat between the camp 

 and Kingston. An efficient service wUl be provided. 



Subscriptions to the Prize Fund have not come in as readily as 

 might have been expected. The list is stUl open.

CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



A remarkable feat was performed on .lune 17 by Lieut. H. R. Sayce, 

 of Bristol, who succeeded in crossing the English Channel in a minia- 

 ture boat. The little craft has been patented -by him as the Midge 

 Pneumatic Collapside Lifeboat, and is designed to be serviceable for 

 flsliing, shooting or sailing. The weight is under 351bs., length S^^ft. 

 with only 32in. beam. It is entirely covered in with canvas, leaving 

 just room enough for a person's body to come through, and is in- 

 flated with air by means of tubing, so as to render it unsinkable. The 

 boat wa.s fitted with a little foresail about the size of a woman's apron, 

 and a still smaller mizzen, the boat when afloat having exactly the ap- 

 pearance of a large toy boat. Leaving the Waterloo Crescent, Dover, 

 at 3 A.M. on Saturdav morning, Mr. Sayce unfolded his boat and 

 flUed it up. which was the work of a very few minutes, and then 

 launched in it from the beach. He was accompanied by a small sail- 

 ing lugger, the Fottr Brothers, on board of which were two boatmen. 

 A small supply of refreshments were put aboard, consisting chiefly of 

 biscuits and lemonade. Daylight was just breaking, and there was a 

 Ught wind from N.N.E. A course was steered straight for Cape 

 Grisnez, the party being uncertain whether they would make Calais 

 or Boulogne. Saihng was very slow work, but the little craft be- 

 haved remarkably well. Mr. Sayce was provided wath a double 

 paddle, which he kept in constant use. The little craft entered 

 Boulogne Harbor at o o'clock, the voyage having occupied fourteen 

 hours. During this time Mr. Sayce did not once leave his remarkable 

 little craft, which was brought back by the lugger to-day. When a 

 breeze sprung up yesterday it did not look possible that such a toy 

 could remain afloat, btit it'raade not the slightest difference to her. 

 The remarkable part of it was that she shipped no water, and when 

 Boulogne was reached she was quite dry inside.— Western Morning 

 JS^eivs, Plymouth, Eag. 



The Northwestern Amateur Rowing Association will, this summer, 

 for the first time in its history of 25 years, depart from a strictly row- 

 ing programme and add a tandem and single paddling race, each 

 under A. C. A. rules. The regatta of the N. A. R. A. wUl be held over 

 t:he BeUe Isle course, at Detroit, on Aug. 11, 12, the two days follow- 

 ing the regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen. 



For an Universal Target. 



Morgantown, W.Va., July 12.— Editor Forest and Strbam: I am 

 much pleased to see the letters in Forest and Stream relative to a 

 new target and for one that all can recognize as a standard target. 

 The German shooters have had a target, in which the circles are %iii. 

 apart; it has given the best of satisfaction for many years, and I have 

 througii au experience of fifteen years or more heard no complaints 

 as to its fairness of count or impracticabihtj'^ for the expert marks- 

 man. This is the target, the rifle of any weight, with double triggers 

 and a holder attached, is allowed to shoot on, and the "possible" of 

 2,50 in 10 successivp shots has never been made in a public match. 



A target for a standard should be one that can be easily drawn or 

 manufactured at home or the club house, not for saving the item of 

 buying onlj% but in case through an oversight the supply of targets 

 becomes exhausted and the marksmen who go to the range on prac 

 tice day have to return home disgusted and disappointed, when if a 

 target of regular divisions in inches, instead of hundredths of an inch, 

 was the standard, it could be easily drawn with a string and lead 

 pencil and the shooters not lose the enjoyment of their practice. I 

 am pleased at the suggestion of a target with the rings one inch apart, 

 and if we can have and use such a target without paying for a copy- 

 right or being obliged to purchase of one particular maker, shaU vole 

 for such target. If I am correctly informed any club or individual 

 that should manufacture the Standard target now copyrighted by 

 Mr. Ilinmau, would infringe on the copyright and it would be unlaw- 

 ful for them to do so. 



How is it, "Y'Ratilim," can we have the inch ring target without re- 

 strictions ? W. Milton Farrow. 



Greenville Kifle Club. 



The weekly outing, July 15, brought out the usual number of mem- 

 bers of the club. Capt. Mahlenbrock. of the Hudson Rifle Club, of 

 Marion, N. J., paid the Greenvilles a visit during the afternoon, and 

 helped to liven matters in the shooting house. Messrs. Dorrler and 

 Plaisted, in the absence of Ross, had a lively race between them.selves 

 in a series of .50 shots. The totals are as follows: Plaisted 1,067, Dorr- 

 ler 1.0G4. The following 10 shot scores are appended: Plaisted 22G,

RIFLE NOTES. 



We saw- an Ulustration last week of how one is helped along in his 

 efforts for a record. One of our riflemen started out with a. 10 shot 

 score, his first three shots were 24, 34, 34, this caused the other rifle- 

 men present to become interested in the individual, for here was an 

 opportunity. Should he keep up the gait the record of 239 would be a 

 thing of the past, in fact a back number. In consequence there was a 

 chorus of admonitions to be careful. The fourth shot was 24. This 

 last shot created a desire upon the part of some present to remove the 

 dust from the shooter's back, which was freely indulged in. The fifth 

 shot was a flag (25) with the marker's hat resting on the top of the 

 staff. This, of course, was an extra inducement to the shooter to 

 hold both his grip as well as his nerve. All hands present kept lock 

 step with the shooter from the stand to the loading table, and back to 

 the stand a.gain, accompanied with the usual back dusting and chorus 

 of "Be careful!" With the sixth shot all were helping to pull the 

 trigger (in their minds). The result was a 21. There was one unani- 

 mous "()h!" long drawn out. and then the chorus came, "Too bad!" 

 Then one individual relieves the monotony with the remark, "He's all 

 right yet; onlj' eight points off from a full score." But the spell was 

 broken. Then the tnost of the shooters returned to their individual 

 shooting and left the shooter to himself. His seventh shot was 

 another flag (25), and with the flag came every individual in the shoot- 

 ing house to see that flag. Then came out the pencfls and paper and 

 down went the figures. Seven shots in the target only 8 points off 

 from a full scoi-e, a possible 242; a new^ record in sight. Again the 

 chorus, "Now, old man, here's your chance; hold for all you're worth; 

 take yom- time; don't pull untU you are right." In fact all hands 

 were" pulling. Off goes the gun. The chorus, "What is it?" Up 

 comes the number, 16. The record is safe. Another ambition blasted 

 for the time being. 



The captains from the several corps connected with the new 

 Schuetzen Bund, organized in New York last month, met in the head- 

 quarters of the German-American Society. No. 12 St. Marks Place, 

 July 14. The payment of the first installment of the initiation fee or 

 tax assessed upon each society was in order. A general discussion 

 over the question of the good and welfare of the association was 

 freely indulged in by many of the prominent leaders present. That 

 the carrying out of the proposed festival in 1893 will meet with a 

 hearty response from the shooting fraternit>' through the entire 

 country seems to be the unanimous feeling of all who have had an op- 

 portunity to post themselves by conference with riflemen outside of 

 New York. Just as soon as the Bund has become thoroughly organ- 

 ized and in working order, applications for entrance to membership 

 will come rolling in from all parts of the country. 



The' proposed team match between Messrs. Zimmerman, Marten and 

 Pittschier on the one side and Messrs. Walther, Krauss and Busse on 

 the other, which was to have been decided at the Glendale Park, L. I., 

 on Friday, July 14, has been postponed for the present. Mr. Zimmer- 

 mann's old rheumatic affliction is upon him again and necessitates his 

 laying aside his rifle for the time being. 



We have seen among the riflemen, as in other kindred sports, many 

 occasions where individual effort has been made to make a record. 

 With the rifleman, to make a score a little higher than has been here- 

 tofore made. These ambitions are natural, and all riflemen like to see 

 a brother put up a big score, provided of course it is not going to spoil 

 his individual record or is not in a contest in which he is a contestant. 



All ties divided unless otherwise reportea.
