FOREST AND STREAM. 



Boards, Fins and Lateral Strain. 



Editor Forest and Stream ; . 



Your elaborate and practical drawings and instructions tor the 

 building of Scarecrows represent a great deal of hard work as well as 

 Intelligent study, and are the most valuable contribution to yachting 

 literature any periodical has contained for a long time. The model 

 was built from by amateurs in St. John last year, from the lines as 

 originally given by you, and the little craft looked like a swan annng 

 geese in the company of the local craft. But her owners, with more 

 pluck than judgment, sailed her against boats of twice her beam and 

 50 per cent, more length, and she was. of coarse, beaten every time. 



I don't like your division of the boftt ioto watertight compartments. 

 Pumping, in the way you propose, would be a great nuisance if she 

 leaked much. Why not allow the water to run freely under deck to 

 the deepest part of the boat and have a fixed pump, covered when 

 not in use with a brass cap flush with the deck, for the removal of 

 water? Your portable pump, with numerous openings in which to 

 use it, will prove to be a great nuisance. 



Your precautions against the lateral strain of the fin are ample, 

 though many^practical builders will no doubt feel inclined to increase 

 them. Observant centerboard sailors know that when a yacht is 

 heeled by the force of the wind the board is lifting (the upper corner 

 of it hugging the lee side of the box), and a fin will act in the same 

 way. A heavy board, therefore, or a fin will actually cause less lateral 

 strain when the yacht is heeled than a light oue, as the weight will 

 lessen the upward pressure of the leeward water. The strain will, at 

 least, be no more with a weighted fin than with a wooden board. 



Chatham, N. B., Feb. 9. ' J. L. Stewart. 



[The sub-division intp several tight compartments was suggested 

 because it involves little or no extra expense, and in case of any local 

 leakage would be a decided advantage. With the construction usually 

 employed in modern small craft, there should be no steady leakage to 

 speak of, and little need of pumping. The principal strains to which 

 the flu and hull would be subjected would of course be in grounding or 

 docking.] ' 



The Boston Knockabout Boats. 



Instead of building two boats of the knockabout class, the Hull 

 Y. C.'s committee has decided to build only one at the club's expense. 

 This is due to the fact that they will cost more than the committee 

 anticipated. At a meeting held on Feb. 14 it was voted to award the 

 contract to Waterhouse & Chesebrough to build one boat from their 

 lines, and a club member (probably J. J. Souther) announced through 

 the committee that he would also build one from the same lines. 

 Other orders are likely to follow, so that four or five new boats are 

 pretty sure to be built. Mclntyre will build the boats. Designs were 

 submitted to the committee by the above firm, Stewart & Binney, 

 Boston Yacht Agency, Cape Cod Yacht Agency, the George Lawley 

 & Sons' Company, I.'c Hanscomb aud the Hereshoff Company. 



The Hull boats are to be of the following dimensions: 29ft. 6in. over 

 all, 21ft. waterline, 7ft. 4in. beam and 4ft. draft. They will have 

 3,7001 bs. of iron on the keel. They are to be much like the two knock- 

 abouts. Nina and Pinta, built by these designers last year for the 

 Eastern Y, C., and the Itatsu, owned by F. O. North, which easily won 

 the championship of the class at Marblehead last year. They will 

 have open cockpits, with watertight bulkheads between the cockpit 

 and the cuddy, in which respect they resemble the open catboats 

 which this new class of boat is likely to supersede.— Boston Transcript.

 as the best pigeon shot of his day. Latterly he spent much of his 

 spare time m "yachting, and represented the owner of the Valkyrie on 

 board the Vigilant during the. recent races for the America's Cup. He 

 was the eldest son of Lord Charles Kerr aud grandson of the sixth 

 Marquis of Lothian. He was particularly well known at Cowes and 

 at Bembridge, where he used to sail a good deal in small boats.

 were Admiral Lord Frederick Kerr, the Countess of Fingatl, Countess 

 Cowper, the Earl of Northesk, Lord aud Lady Alwyne Compton, bir 

 Thomas aud Lady Freake, Miss Freake, the Hon. Douglas Carnegie

Zettler Club Team Tournament. 



The annual Washington's Birthday gallery touruament of the Zettler 

 Rifle Club was held in its headquarters on Thursday of last week. 

 Eight shooting societies responded to the invitations sent out in Janu- 

 ary. Unlimited practice was allowed each contestant, and when he 

 was ready for his official score his target was ruu down the range and 

 he was allowed 10 shots. Each team was allowed to make two or 

 three re-entries. Each team to consist of 5 men. 



The shooting committee of the Zettler Club acted as the judges and 

 official scorers, and had full supervision over the tournament. The 

 committee were: Geo. Krause, M. B. Etigel, Henry Holges, Henry D. 

 Muller andR. Busse. 



In order to stimulate renewed interest in the gallerr tournamenu this 

 year the Zettler brothers, in addition to the five prizes offered by the 

 club, donated an extra prize for the team that should make the lowest 

 total score. This special prize was of equal value of either the fourth 

 or the fifth individual prize for the best 10-shot score. 



Of the ten teams competing in the tournament the first team of the 

 New York Corps was the first to put up a score that was considered 

 good enough to win first place in the contest; the total of the five men 

 was 1,203 and was made on the first entry of the team. The Williatns- 

 hurgh team came next with a total of 1,200, made also on its first 

 entry. . 



The Empire Club team on its second entry succeeded in tieing the 

 Wjlliamsb'urgh team with a total of 1,200. The Williamsburgh team 

 then made its second entry and by careful work and good coaching on 

 the part of Fred Boss the team coach, and the expert shooting of Ross 

 himself, the team made the magnificent total of 1,210, or an average 

 of 242 for each member of the team. This put the Williamsburgh 

 team in the lead seven points ahead of tha New York Corps team 



In the mean time the Empire Club team had made its third and last 

 entry. The last entry of the Williamsburgh team had forced the Em- 

 pire' team into third position three points behind the New York Corps 

 team. The Empire Club team and its friends were striving with 

 might and main to make its third entry the lever to lift it into first 

 position. The New York team was in a peculiar position; it was 

 entitled to two more entries, yet it could not make them from the fact 

 that one of its members had left the gallery after finishing the first 

 entry and had not returned. Under the ruling of the committee it 

 could not put in a substitute in the place of the absent member. The 

 Williamsburgh team had forced them into second place. The Empire 

 team was then shooting on its third entry and its members were send- 

 ing their shots into the bullseye in a manner that portended further 

 disaster to the New York team. 



The result was that partisan feelings began to ooze here and there 

 among the friends of the teams interested in the contest. Happily, 

 however, for the interest of the tournament, the arguments were kept 

 within Pickwickian boundaries, and although the Empire team suc- 

 ceeded in making a total of 1,205, beating the New York team 2 points, 

 and forcing them into third place, Capt. Offerman and his members 

 took their defeat in a philosophical manner, and no doubt that when 

 the next annual tournament comes around he will see that his entire 

 team is kept within reach until the last shot is in the target. 



Of the other teams in the race for honors the Greenville team No. 1 

 on its second entry made a total of 1,197, putting it into fourth place 

 on the list. 



The one entry of the second Greenville team tied the lowest score 

 of the Italiau Society team. Under the rules governing ties in which 

 the most center shots (25's) are counted, the Italian team won the 

 trophy and the honors for the lowest scores. 



Some would-be sympathizer with Capt. Robidoux, of the Greenville 

 team No. 2, thought that the rule for ties should apply in the reverse 

 order, in which case his team would be a winner by a number of 

 points. 



The individual cup, which was offered for the best 10-shot score, 

 was previous to the opening of the match a subject of much interest 

 to the many shooters engaged in the contest. But Fred Ross destroyed 

 the hopes of many of the ambitious ones by making the fine score of 

 248 on the first entry of his team. On the second entry of his team 

 he made 247. . . ' 



With the last shot of Rosenbaum, the fifth man in the Empire team, 

 the agony was over. President Walther, with the secretary's list of 

 the winning teams and their scores in his hand, called the teams 

 together in the meeting room of the headquarters, aud after a few 

 remarks appropriate to the occasion he called up Capt. G. A. Schmidt, 

 of the Williamsburgh Corps, aud presented him with the cup repre- 

 senting the first prize. Following Capt. Schmidt came J. Grimm for 

 the Empire team, Capt. H. O.terman for the New York Corps team 

 No. 1, Wm. C. Collins for Greenville team No. 1 and Capt. Louis Reali 

 of the Italian team: and last Fred C. Ross, of the Williamsburgh team, 

 to receive the individual cup for the best 10-shot score, 248. With the 

 trophies in the hands of the respective winners, the captain of the 

 Williamsburgh team invited all present to join the winners in drink- 

 ing the health of the Williamsburgh Corps and the success for the 

 tournament for 1895. Scores:

Golden Gate Riflemen. 



San Francisco, Feb. 11.— Editor Forest and Stream: The big Mid- 

 winter Fair international shoot was inaugurated last Sunday m ablaze 

 of glory. A procession several blocks in length, composed of the most 

 prominent local shooting societies, several visiting societies from the 

 interior, militia companies, prominent citizens in carnages, etc., 

 marched through the principal streets of the city. 



The 11 o'clock boat was taken for Shell Mound Park by hundreds ot 

 shooters and their families. Inaugural ceremonies were held in the 

 large dancing hall, and after lunch shooting began The day was 

 warm and Bunny, with no wind. About $2,000 worth of shooting tick- 

 ets were sold during the afternoon, mostly for the Golden Gate medal 



Sh H?gh scores of the day: W. Glindeman, 72 on honorary target; 92 on 

 ruanaud93on4-shotringbyA. Strecker. „ 



To-day the shooting conditions were only fair, a drizzle falling all the 

 afternoon. G. Helm" made the fine score of 97 on the 4-shot ring tar- 

 get A. Strecker made on the Golden Gate 23 (3in. bullseye), an excel- 

 lent score. Several champion shots are holding back and will try their 

 luck next month. s ' . .„ , , . . . , 



The Germani.i Club held its regular medal shoot to-day. Good sboot- 

 iuc was done, the medal in ad four classes being won with a score of 

 over 400 rings in the 30 shots, with no re-entry. Dr. Rodgers started 

 the ball with a score of 422, and thought it pretty fair for such a 

 drizzly day; but when Mr. Young followed with 442 the medico had 

 nothing to say. . . . ± . . 



The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club elected 14 new members at its 

 last meeting. The wife of a member made application for full mem- 



rship. This was a poser and gave rise to considerable discussion. 

 The matter is not yet settled. The lady, to prove that she could shoot, 

 appeared on the range to-day and showed considerable skill with the 

 rifle.

Five members of the Greenville Club met in Armbruster's Park, on 

 Saturday, to participate in the weekly handicap shoot. The ther- 

 mometer registered 8° above zero, with a cold northwest wind sweep- 

 ing across the range. With the shooting house closed up tight, a large 

 stove and a hot fire, it was rather difficult to keep one's fingers m a 

 flexible condition. Three of the five cranks gave it up m disgust and 

 devoted themselves to the fire. Collins and Plaisted shot out then- 

 scores. The scores are appended;
