The next event, the club race, lost all distinctive character from the 

 fact that the New York team was only made up by the entry of Ghost, 

 with two small cruising sails and her crew seated below, the canoe be- 

 ing an old Shadow model with no centerboard, jMr. Bennett entered 

 to makeup the required three, but was badly out-classed by the racing 

 canoes, and did not complet-e the course. The other two New York 

 men, Howard and Moore, made a good second and third, losing by only 

 one point. Mr. Butler won the personal prize for first boat, and the 

 V^esper B. C. won the club banner.

Wednesday was another clear day, with a fresh and puffy S.W. wind 

 over the island, the course of six rounds, 9 miles, being sailed with all 

 marks to starboard. It is not so long ago that the honor of a place on 

 the list of 15 eh'gibles to the trophy race was eagerly sought for. and 

 not a few instances have been known of men who, after winning a 

 place, have generously given it up to others who were debarred by 

 some mishap in the trial races. This j'ear there were no foreign com- 

 petitors and only eight entries in all, Bee, Wasp, Mab, Aztec, V, 

 Cricket. Torment and Canuck. Mr. Dobglas was unwell and did not 

 start. The wind was so squally before the start that the Vesper men 

 turned in a reef each, Torment and Cricket carrying about 75ft. in 

 their standing sails and Wasp and Bee about the same. Mab, however, 

 had up 138ft. m two large standing sails, and was greatly over-can vased. 

 Goddard and hie friends of the Vesper B. C. had' repaired very neatly 

 i he break in his deck tiller, but a.s it proved the whole fitting was too 

 tvettk, and a second break resulted which soon threw him out of the 

 face The start was a fitie one, the boats going over close together on 

 the guiij Mab with a clear lead and Torment second. The first leg was 

 a reach, with a jibe at the end, then a run with a quartering wind and 

 a beat in. 



Mab led over the fh-st leg, but she had more sail than she wanted 

 down tvlnd, and Waso passed her, while V also went by her at the sec- 

 ond mark, the Spectacle Island Buoy. Wasp and V had a pretty race 

 to windward, Wasp holding her own. Mab had a clean capsize at the 

 fend of the first roUnd, Mr. Archbald sliding or falhng off his deck seat 

 and going down on the lee side of his boat; he dove under, came up to 

 windward, and was quickly astride of his seat and away. Bee was 

 fourth, but cn the second round her deck tiller broke again and she 

 was forced to withdravf . 



At the end of the second round V led for a time, but Wasp soon re- 

 gained her lead and was never headed, in spite of several bad capsizes. 

 She finished just as Canuck was completing her fourth round, she be- 

 ing partly filled like Aztec, having the old open cockpit which brought 

 her to grief when Mr. Ford Jones sailed her at New York. Mab sailed 

 a good race, but on the last round her steering gear gave way and she 

 vrithdrew. 



When Aztec started on the fifth round her stern was completely 

 under water, the rudder gear tearing up a wake like a propeller, while 

 her crew had sprung the third toe on the port foot in hiking out, and 

 was partly disabled. On the second leg as she neared the Spectaclf s 

 only the point of her stem was above water, and her crew was awash 

 to the waist. Running into shoal water Mr, Howard bailed out and 

 finally sailed the sixth round long after all others had finished. Mr. 

 Pelletier also himg on very pluckily, and sailed the race to a finish, 

 though hopelessly beaten early in the day. 



Wasp ci'ossed the line in fine style, winning the trophy for the 

 second time. As V. came to the line she capsized, working across in 

 righting. While the race will not comisare in excitement with those 

 or previous years, it was well worth watching, and some fine exhibi- 

 tions of skill were afforded by the many puffs and the consequent 

 hiking. In connection with the unlimited race it demonstrated the 

 absolute necessity for a small bucket cockpit, a hull of exceptional 

 strength, a sliding seat of 5ft. length and a thwartship tiller of the 

 same length and able to bear the weight of a heavy man at times 

 without breaking. Compared with thb successful canoe of to-daj^, 

 the racing fleet, at Stave Island in 1889 has no more chance of winning 

 than the original Nautilus would have. The positions on the various 

 rounds were as follows:

During Wednesday night the camp was favored with an echo of the 

 great storm which wrought so much destruction on the Atlantic coast; 

 nothing more than a light rain, which held until noon Thursday, ac- 

 companied by a fresh N. E wind through the night and early morn- 

 ing. Two important events still remained on the programme, the 

 race for the paddling trophy and that for the St. Lawrence skiffs. 

 The latter craft, which are really enlarged canoes, have come into ex- 

 istence since the days of the Grindstone meets, and in order to show 

 to the canoeists what such big canoes could do, a special race was ar- 

 ranged by Com. Harlow Wiser, of the St. Lawrence Skiff Sailing Asso- 

 ciation, the prize being a silver cup offered by the Skiff Association. 



The racing skiffs, though evolved from the old fishing skiffs of the 

 river, are totally different craft, the rule under which they are built is 

 merely length multiplied bv beam, the product not to exceed 88ft., the 

 dimensions' being from saft.X 4ft. up to 27ft.x3ft.3iu. Sail area and 

 crews are unlimited, the former ranging from 4(X)sq. ft. to 650sq. ft., in 

 two battened sails, hoisting with a guuter yard and with c^noe reef- 

 ing gear. From four to six men are carried. Three of these skiffs, 

 Akahe, La Volta and Bonita, were present during the whole meet, and 

 early on Thursday morning others appeared, making a lleet of seven 

 in all. 



There is a strong local rivalry among the skiff men and their friends 

 along the river from Kingston to Ogdensburg, not alone between the 

 American and Canadian sides of the river, but between the various 

 towns, irrespective of nationality. Early in the morniDg the steamers 

 brought to camp partir-s froui Brockville, Ogdensburg. Preseott. (.ian- 

 anoque, Clayton and KiDfjston. and the merits of the respective favor- 

 ites were loudly discusied. The starters were:

Sunrise 25.00. .400. .E. Colon Thos. Pursell. ., .Clayton 



Bonita 24.00, .360. .Chas, Hardie. .0, E, Archbald. . ,Montrea.l 



Against the skiffs the two canoes. Wasp and Fly, started. 



The wind, which had been strong and squally during the morning, 

 fell considerably by noon, and when the race was started at 3 P. M., 

 six rounds of the triangle, it was but moderate from the north, making 

 a beat on the first leg. a reach on the second and a run on the third, 

 the boats at times being winged out. 



St. Lawrence was at the line ahead of time and luffed along until the 

 gun flred, when she was at once over, the others making a good start, 

 the two canoes being last over but to windward. Even at the start 

 there was not enough wind for the canoes to do their best work, and 

 of course not enough for the skiffs. Wasp soon worked clear to wind- 

 ward of the fleet, St. Lawrence in the lead a good way. being further 

 to leeward, so that she had to tack finally to weather the Spectacle 

 Island Buoy, while Wasp and Bonita weathered it on the long port 

 tack, Wasp was bothered a little by the big sails of Bonita, but took 

 the lead on the reach and increased it to the end of the first round, 

 when the order was: Wasp, Leprechaun, La Volta, St. Lawrence, 

 Bertha, Bonita, Sunrise, Akahe, Bee. 



On the next leg to windward, in a stiU lighter breeze, Wasp con- 

 tinued to gain, and had a good lead when she rounded the second 

 buoy. She winged out and started to finish the round, but just astern 

 of her was Leiirechaun, with hex huge rig, coming up in the light air, 

 with the other skiffs closing in, and the poor httle canoe with but 150ft. 

 stood no show. Leprechaun passed her just at the end of the round. 

 La Volta also being close to her. 



The wind was now so light that the race was spoiled, and after the 

 third round it was merely a drift, some of the boats withdrawing on 

 each successive round, and only Leprechaun and La Volta finishing. 

 With a good breeze the race would have been the most interesting of 

 the meet, it is hardly probable that the 16x30 canoes sailed by one 

 man could compete with the skiffs, of just one and one-half times 

 their linear dimensions and with three times the sail area, with six 

 men to tend sheets and hike, but at the same time a thorough test 

 would have been very valuable:

The paddling trophy race yet remained, and when the wind died 

 down during the skiff race it was called about 4:30 P. M. This 

 race, in Canadian waters, the home of paddling racing, should 

 have brought out a fine field of entries, but all of the Canadian 

 cracks, Harry MacKendrick, Johnson, Muntz, Carnegie. Tilley, Leys, 

 as well as the Montreal paddlers were absent. The five starters were 

 mostly new men, Mr. Scott alone having raced for the trophy last 

 year. Mr. O'Brien, the second man as it proved, was from Toronto, 

 as was Mr. Ford. Sir. Rothwell paddled a famous old canoe, the Zulu, 

 once a prize winner when owned by Mr. Jack Weller in 18&4-5 at 

 Grindstone. Mr. Scott had a very good racing paddler, but none of 

 the canoes could compare with that used by ftlr. Kiiappe last year. 

 The race was well paddled, the latter half being between .Scott and 

 O'Brien, the latter spurting hard at the finish but coming in a good 

 second only.

Chicago, 111., Aug. 18.— On Aug. 7 Mr. L. J. Marks, of the Chicago O. 

 C, accompanied by Mr. Wm. Wilde, left for a cruising trip around the 

 southern and eastern shore of Lake Michigan, with Muskegon as objec- 

 tive point. Their craft was an 18ft. St. Lawrence skiff. They are ex- 

 pected back next week, and should have an interesting log. E. H. 



Excelsior Rifle Club. 



The third annual prize shoot of the Excelsior Rifle Club, of Jersey 

 City, at the Greenville Scbuetzen Park, on Friday and Saturday of 

 last week, brought together many of our prominent riflemen. Among 

 the early arrivals on Friday morning were H. M. Pope, of Hartford; 

 Wm. Hayes, Newark; Louis Flach and A. Holges, New York, and C. 

 E. Gensch, New Jersey. 



The weather was extremely hot and the shooting house during the 

 two days was a most uncomfortable place to abide in, so much so that 

 the shooters were compelled at frequent intervals to resort to the 

 cool spots in and about the park for relief from the excessive heat. 

 The first flag at the opening of the shoot was made by 3Ir. Gensch, 

 and as is usual in such aft'airs, all hands went out to see a man. Louis 

 Flach put up three scores of 71 each out of a possible 75 early in the 

 day on Friday, and the other contestants were kept on the ragged 

 edge all day trying to overcome this lead, but at the close of the shoot 

 on Friday night Flach still held his position with Messrs. Pope, Hayes 

 and Gensch each with only one or two points behind him. 



With the opening of the shoot on Saturday morning there came a 

 host of riflemen from nortli, south, east and west of New York, it 

 seemed as though everybody had expected that everybody (else) 

 would remain home on account of the weather conditions, and each 

 individual came prepared to take advantage of the situation. From 

 Port Chester came Messrs. Bachraann, Hess and Rudd; from Pater- 

 son came Messrs. Dietrich, Duteher and Irons. Messrs. Begerow, 

 Watts and Hayes from Newark; Messrs. Bird, Antenreifh and Mehlen- 

 brock, from Marion ; Barney Walther and Chas. G. Zettler of New 

 York. Among the local shooters were Messrs. L. P. Hansen, W. H. 

 Robidoux, John Hill, 0. H. Chavaut, C. Boag, W. Weber, Michael 

 Dorrler and Geo. Schlicht. In fact there were so many representative 

 riflemen present that to name them all in this article would require 

 enlarged space, and out of respect for the feelings of non- winners we 

 are compelled to draw the line at this point. All day Saturday the 

 shooting house was filled with as jolly a set of .shooters as ever came 

 together. Each in his turn was striving to out-shoot the other, and 

 as one individual would succeed in making a high ticket he became 

 for the time being the center of a sweltering group, anxious to see his 

 score and ready to extend their congratulations over his good luck, 

 and thus the day passed and at the close of the shoot after the prizes 

 had been distributed the greater part of the assembled shooters and 

 invited guests adjourned to the dinning hall of the Hotel Armbruster, 

 where several hours were devoted to social intercourse, feasting, etc. 



Ring target, three shots per score, possible 75, three best scores to 

 count for first five prizes, and two scores to count for all others:

Bi-Monthly Shoot of the Zettler Rifle Club. 



TatiRH was hardly a corporal's guard of the members of the Zettler 

 Rifle Club present at the practice shoot of the club at Cypress Hills 

 Park on Aug 27. The hot weather and the many other counter 

 attractions in and about New York probably kept manj' of the regu- 

 lars away. Those who did put in an appearance found that shooting 

 under the extreme torrid weather conditions was anything but 

 pleasant. The scores are appended, 10-shot scores, 2 scores to count,
