FOREST AND STREAM. 



J April SI, 1804. 



I am glad to see such men as "Katrina" take a hand in this argu- 

 ment, for they are well qualified to talk on this subject. 



No, "Katrina," you are wrong if you think I would class you as a 

 false pretender. I have too high a respect for the men of your 

 standing in the old days, when as you rightly say, " Tanthe' was not 

 in it." 



But do not for a moment think I do not know who you are. Even 

 without the points you gi^e as to your identity, have I not heard my 

 fellow club members tell about how you led the fleet in the trophy 

 race in 1889 for three rounds and until your tiller broke? 



I regret that I do not know you better than by reputation. I sin- 

 cerely regret that continued ill-health keeps you from our camps, and 

 in this I know I am echoing the sentiments of many others. 



However, I hope that the day will not be far distant when you will 

 have sufficiently recovered to do some more of the oldtime canoeing.

The War Canoe Calla Shasta. 



well! well!! well!!! WELL!!!! ha!!!1! ha!!I!!1 



Amid a howling snow storm on April 8, the Springfield Canoe Club's 

 war canoe Calla Shasta was christened and launched at the Wish-ton- 

 wish Canoe Club's house at Northampton by Raymond Apollonio, and 

 the crew, including Apollonio and Cutter of Boston, Blelock (Lilacks), 

 Banks, Sargeant, Hodgdon and Knappe, started on their first cruise, 

 with wind and rain beating on their backs, bound for Springfield. 



The start was made at 12 M., arriving at the Holyoke Canoe Club's 

 summer resort, Sans Souci, at 1 P. M., where Messrs Schuster, Met- 

 calf, Brown, Ramage and Cox did themselves proud in serving a 

 wholesome and much enjoyed dinner at their club house, after which 

 the different cottages comprising the camp were visited. Leaving 

 Sans Souci at 3 P. M., Holyoke was reached at 3:30, where a carry of 

 two miles around the dam was made, and the crew started, full of life 

 and enjoyment, for Springfield, arriving at 6 P. M , having made a 

 most successful cruise. During the paddle the crew inaugurated their 

 war cry. Messrs. Apollonio and Blelock being the authors.

CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



The Mohican C. C. has always been at a disadvantage in the matter 

 of a club house, the quarters at Piepenbrinck's boat house being 

 inconvenient and in a very bad part of the river for canoeing, near 

 the center of the city and close by a sewer. The club is now building 

 a handsome and convenient canoe house on the river bank immediately 

 below its summer house at Staats's, down the river, a stairway up the 

 hill connecting the two. 



The Buffalo C. C. has elected the following officers: Com., E. W. 

 Dunston; Vice-Corn., H. D. Pulsifer; Sec'y-Treas., F. D. Wood; 

 Trustees, G. L. Kelley, C. P. Forbush, F. R. Rosseel. 



The Newburgh Canoe and Boating Association has elected the fol- 

 lowing officers: Com., Wm. T. Hilton; Purser, Jas. T. Van Dalfsen; 

 Treas., Chas. D. Robinson; Chairman of Regatta Committee, Henry J. 

 Jova. 



The new Hartford war canoe will compete in the war canoe race at 

 at Calla Shasta on May 30; the crew, which is now at work, including 

 Messrs. Reginald Berney, captain; D.S. Morrell, stroke; J. W. Ball, 

 W. R. Slocum, Iva C. Peck, F. H. Hills, T. S. Cheney, J. W. Cheney, J. 

 W. Danforth and J. C. Staples. 



At a meeting of the Cataraqui C C. on April 12 the following officers 

 were elected: Capt., H. W. Richardson; Mate, R. Easton Burns; 

 Purser, W. C. Kent; Committee, C. Gay Shannon, I. McD. Mowat. 

 The club will hold races once a month during the season. The club 

 membership is 71 and the A. C. A. membership is 71 also. 



Ross vs. Dorrler. 



The 100 shot rifle match for $100 a side between Fred C. Ross, of 

 Brooklyn, and Michael Dorrler, of Greenville, N. J., which has been 

 the one topic of interest to the New York riflemen for weeks past, was 

 shot off at Wissel's Cypress Hills Park on Monday last, and much to 

 the disappointment of the friends of the two shooters the match was 

 declared a tie by the referee, Wm. Hayes. 



The day opened fine, a bright and almost cloudless sky, a light 

 breeze, varying from east to northeast, kept the range free from 

 smoke. 



The two principals were early on the grounds and devoted consider- 

 able time to preliminary practice. The practice of both men was 

 closely watched by all present. 



Ross's rifle was the first to sound the tocsin, his first effort was a 21 

 at 6 o'clock. Dorrler's first shot followed closely after, and re- 

 sulted in a 24 at 12 o'clock. Ross's second shot was another 21 at 4 

 o'clock. Dorrler s second and third shots were 24s at 12 o'clock in 

 close proximity to the first. Ross followed with 22 on his third. Dorr- 

 ler's fourth shot developed another 24 at 6 o'clock, 96 points out of a 

 possible 100 on the first four shots of the match— wonderfully fine 

 work, and the question arose in the minds of many interested watch- 

 ers: How soon will he break this fine run? A 23 on his fifth shot 

 startled them a little, a 25 on the sixth and a 24 on the seventh shot 

 put every one on the ragged edge. A 21 on the ninth gave a slight 

 chill to those who had anticipated a record score; his tenth was a 24, 

 giving him a. total of 234 for his first ten shots. Ross was for the first 

 two or three scores apparently a little nervous. The total for his first 

 ten shots was 214 against 234 for Dorrler. This was an unexpected 

 event to everyone. Dorrler's second score was another surprise, 

 from the brilliant 234 he dropped to 214. Ross's second was 213, add- 

 ing another point to Dorrler's lead. 



Again did Dorrler give another surprise and at the same time bril- 

 liant exhibition in bunching a series of shots. The total of his third 

 string was 239, the best recorded 10-shot score ever made in a 100-shot 

 match, and within one point of the best 10-shot (240) record score, 

 made by A m. Hayes seven years since. Ross, from the commence- 

 ment of his third score, began to gtt settled down to steady work. He 

 however got an accidental shot, on his 27th, which was a 15; but under 

 the rule as agreed upon previous to the match, thai any shot not 

 pulled or if declared accidental by the shooter it should not count, 

 Ross was given an extra shot. He finished his third string with a total 

 of 223. His 4th string was still better, he making a total of 229. From 

 this point on to the 8th string he shot in good form, keeping up an 

 average of 22 and better. The 8th string brought a break in his good 

 work. He fell off to an average of 21, or 210 for the string. His 9th 

 was the best of his 10 strings, being 230. The 10th and last string to 

 wind up his 100 shots showed good steady holding, he getting 228, a 

 grand total of 2,217 for his 100 shots. 



After Dorrler's third string he made no more brilliant spurts, 218 

 each in the 4th and 5th strings, 234 in the 6th, 214 in the 7th, 222, 830 

 and 220 in his 8th, 9th and 10th gave him a grand total of 2,223 against 

 2,217 for Ross. But hereby hangs a tale, which when told changes the 

 whole aspect of the final results of the match. When the match was 

 opened Geo. W. Plaisted and Jos. Bonzer were appointed scorers to 

 record the shots as called out by Mr. Hayes, the referee. Barney 

 Zettler and John Wissel went down to the targets to watch the mark- 

 ing by the men at that point, and at the same time keeping record of 

 the shots from that end of the range as they came, into the target. 



On Dorrler's 16th shot the markers showed up a 24, which the referee 

 called out and which was recorded as such. This was the beginning 

 of the trouble. This 24 was in reality only a 19. The markers had 

 mistaken a wet patch on the target for a shot. They corrected their 

 error by showing up the figure 19 in place of the 24, but the referee 

 had in the mean time turned away from the target and did not see the 

 correction, so that the 24 continued to stand to Dorrler's credit at the 

 upper end of the range. In the mean time Ross got his accidental 15. 

 The referee decided this no shot. The men at the other end of the 

 range not knowing this marked it up against Ross. 



In the meantime one or more errors had been discovered in the 

 showing of the numbers at the targets, and rumors began to circulate 

 that there was a mistake in the recording of the shots either in the 

 target house or in the shooting house, and as nearly every man on the 

 ground had a little cash invested on the match and was keeping score 

 of the shots from whatever point of view he could, the consequence 

 was that as the match drew near the end there was much excitement. 

 Outside of the two score-keepers in the house with the referee there 

 were no two kept by the others that agreed. 



Ross, in his iaBt two scores, by steady holding and remarkably 

 good nerve, pulled Dorrler's lead down to zero, and in fact his friends 

 claimed that he had won the race by a margin ranging from one to 

 seven points. Dorrler and his friends claimed that the victory rested 

 with Dorrler. 



The referee call' d for each man's target containing the 100 shots of 

 each, and with the two principals and the corers from both ends of 

 the range repaired to the hotel in the park where, with the aid of a 



penknife and the expenditure of much patience the patches upon the 

 targets were removed and an effort made to verify the shots with the 

 scores. Did anybody ever undertake to name the shots in a bullseye 

 that contained from 90 to 100 shots and the moBt of them inside the 22 

 ring? Well, this was the job that Referee Hayes, the two principals 

 and the scorers set out to accomplish in order to demonstrate who 

 won the match. This committee started in on this job at 5:15 P. M., 

 just after the match closed. At 8:30 they were still deeply interested 

 in the question as to how many bullets might have passed through 

 some particular hole and what was the value of each. In despair the 

 referee went back to the original scores as kept under his supervision. 

 He deducted 5 points from Dorrler's 16th shot, making it a 19. to cor- 

 respond with the correction made at the target at the time it was shot. 



Ross was given credit for one more point on his 33d shot, which was 

 claimed should have been a 24 instead of 23. This correction made 

 Ross's 4th score 230 instead of 229, and Dorrler's 2d score 209 instead 

 of 214, giving each a total of 2,218. The match was then declared a 

 draw and all bets off. 



That such a decision was not satisfactory goes without saying. 

 But it was the best that could be done under the circumstances. The 

 betting men broke even. The shooters are yet both champions in the 

 eyes of their followers. Another match made and shot off under 

 Scbiitzen rules as this one should have been, will demonstrate who is 

 the best shot of the two. Why not eliminate this element of gambling 

 from our sports? We'd be the better for it.

National Shooting Association of the United States. 



About one year ago the prominent German-American shooting 

 societies located in tsna about New York city inaugurated an associa- 

 tion (Schuetzen Bund) for the purpose of holding a grand shooting 

 festival in New York in 1895. Since the formation of the association 

 we have from time to time published reports of the progress that was 

 being made by the board of delegates representing the societies inter- 

 ested in the movement. Since our last report the committee on prize 

 programme, Messrs. Walther, Hayes and Krauss, finished its task, and 

 at the last regular meeting, held a few days since, submitted the re- 

 sult of its labors to the full board. That the work was both thorough 

 and complete in all its details is obvious from the fact that the pro- 

 gramme as submitted to the full board was adopted with hardly any 

 changes. Through the courtesy of the committee we are permitted to 

 publish a synopsis of the programme in advance of its regular distri- 

 bution to the public. As yet the board of delegates has hot decided 

 in which of our local parks the festival will be held. There are, 

 however, strong probabilities that the final adjustment of the matter 

 will result in favor of the Union Hill Park, located at Union Hill, N. J. 

 Its location and adaptability for accommodating a large number of 

 visitors, and its fine shooting range give it the preference in the minds 

 of many of the delegates who have had previous experience in the 

 management of large festivals of this character. We append the 

 board of officers of the association and the programme:

Greenville vs. Paterson. 



The first of a series of outdoor team matches between teams rep- 

 resenting the Greenville Rifle Club and the Paterson Rifle Associatioti 

 was shot off at the Greenville Schuetzen Park on Saturday, April 14. 

 The weather conditions were most perfect for outdoor sports. The 

 Paterson contingent, headed by Dutcher and Dietrich, was on the 

 grounds early in the afternoon looking for preliminary practice 

 With few exceptions they have never had any experience in shooting 

 at distances over 100yds. and the match to-day was a new experience 

 to many of them. The consequence was that the scores averaged 

 low. The Greenville team was minus some of its be«t material and 

 many of those who did participate in the match were decidedly off in 

 form. Each team consisted of 10 men, each man shooting 10 shots on 

 the German ring target. On the Greenville team Messrs. Chavant and 

 Boyce led with scores of 212 and 211 respectively. For the Paterson 

 team Messrs. Dietrich and Dutcher were high with 187 and 179. The 

 Greenville team won by 270 points on a total of 1872 against 1604 for 

 the Paterson team. After the match was shot off the members of 

 both teams devoted the balance of the day to practice and pool shoot - 

 ing. This was followed by a dinner at the Hotpl Armbruster, where 

 the wants of the inner man were looked after. The Greenville Club 

 has earned a great reputation for its entertainments to visiting clubs 

 and riflemen, and this occasion was no exception to the rule, for as 

 soon as the dinner was over the visiting shooters and their friends 

 were escorted to the club house of the Greenville team. Here another 

 feast awaited the visitors in the form of music, speeches, funny 

 stories, etc. The Manhasset quartette from Brooklyn was present 

 and in good voice. Dalton was loaded with new stories for the occa- 

 sion. A new day was close at hand when the last of the visi'ors had 

 taken their departure from the home of the Greenville Club. The 

 return match will be shot off on the Paterson range in May. Scores:
