The W. C. A. Meet. 



Chicago, 111., June 8.— Com. O. A. Woodruff, of the W. C. A., passed 

 through Chicago to-day on his way to the Madison lakes, Wisconsin, 

 to see how preparations are getting along for the big meet of July 7- 

 21. The genial commodore is working hard to make the meet a suc- 

 cess in every sense of the word, and it is the duty and will no doubt 

 be the pleasure of every member, West or East, to aid him in aU'ways 

 possible. Milwaukee and Chicago will no doubt be out in force this 

 year. If Chicago is no more f ully represented than it was last year at 

 Ballast, it would better hang Us harp up on some fence beside the 

 waters and fall out of line. The selection of Lake Mendota is a wise 

 one in many ways, and in keeping with the true canoeing spirit, which 

 ought not to pine for board floors and hotels too much and too often. 

 There are good sailing waters at the new place, probably as good as 

 those at Ballast. There will also be a full enough complement of the 

 Summer girl to satisfy the romantically inclined, and I see no reason 

 to suppose that the table will not be as good at least as it was at Osh- 

 kosh or at Ballast last year. Those who want to camp over their last 

 year's tent pins at Ballast, or who left solid girls there, who remain dear 

 to memory, can go back there just the same, but meantime the W. C A. 

 can be moving right on ahead, and getting in new men and doing new 

 work, and making new growth and becoming a sporting organization 

 of merit in the right and manly sense of the word 1 confess I never 

 shared the Ballast cra?.e very much, thoUgh many of my Chicago 

 friends think that the only spot on earth. It seems to me that the 

 by-laws should forbid camping it the same place twice. There should 

 be no kicking and ho grumbling this year, and no comparisons with 

 Other years. Comparisons are beastly; and they don't go* where every 

 fellow is supposed to have done his best to make the camp a success. 

 For that matter it is hard to see where Ohio has any advantage of 

 Wiscbnsin. In Wisconsin the wind is just as free, the wat<r just as 

 bright, the suminer girl just as shapely and adorable, and if it comes 

 to the last and least feature, on which some few may insist, the cock- 

 tttil tree is just as tall and wide-spreading as it is in Ohio. It ma} be 

 asking too niUch bf some of the boys to camp or cruise or sail all the 

 tiihe, and they may prefer to go in for the amenities. One can assure 

 them, froih long and pleasant acquaintance in this State of stream 

 and pines, that the amenities are there. What is far more important, 

 the chance for good rugged fuu is there. The officers deserve every 

 support. Times are hard this year also, it is true, but we must play 

 a little, and one could ask ho better way nor place than this. Let us 

 see 75 canoes at dock, not one under a false varnish, and every skip- 

 per resolved to have a boat load of f tin. E. Hough. 



909 Security Building, Chicago; 



Mr. Howard's Canoe. 



American canoeists will be interested in the following brief de- 

 scription from the Field, of the canoe which will represent the New 

 York 0. 0. in the challenge cup race of the Royal C. C. on June 19. 

 In answer to a cable message from Mr. Howard to the club asking for 

 a formal challenge by the New York C. C, a special meeting of the 

 executive committee was recently held, and a Challenge forwarded. 

 While indorsing Mr Howard, as a member in good standing, it is but 

 fair to the New York C. C. to say that his venture is an individual and 

 hot a blub affair, His intention to visit England and challenge for the 

 R: C, C. cup was only communicated to the club a short time before 

 his departure, and while the club's indorsement Was willingly given, 

 he does not go as its chosen representative, but rather as ah indivi- 

 dual member. But little is known here of his new canoe, as she was 

 built in Clayton, N. Y., and was only in the city for a few days, prior 

 to shipment ; during which time, of course, there was no opportunity 

 for testing her beside known canoes. The Field says: 



"Mr. Howard, the representative of the New York C. C, has arrived 

 in England, and with his racing canoe he has settled at Kingston-on- 

 Thames. Thus far, he has only been seen ashore, and his canoe in the 

 R. C. C. boat house. The canoe is a fine bit of workmanship in her 

 build; her model is, with a very slight exception, simply the American 

 type of straightaway clipper. She has about her nothing of real 

 novelty, either in form, fitting or rig, excepting a very very shallow 

 watertight self-draining well, the" bottom of which goes only 

 so hie 2}4 or 3in. below the level of deck. The keel is straight fore and 

 jaft, with very hollolv water lines forward and aft, bdt with round 

 cjuarterg,, and we should say very easy or sweet diagonal lines. She is 

 bf extremely light construction and, sniall displacement; a very small 

 rudder and light small center T plate are only kept below watei- 

 by the use of along, powerful deck slide seat. A very sihiilar boat 

 in England is the Whiz, at Oxford, similar in all but position of 

 center-plate and nature of rig, and without the straight keel. We 

 intend next week to give a detailed description of this American 

 challenge canoe after seeing her afloat." 



Cincinnati C. C. 



Out at Ross Lake for the past two days have been located in the 

 model club house the members of the Longworth C. C. on the occasion 

 of the club's annual meet. The club is a component part of the West- 

 ern Canoe Association, a split from the parent body of Eastern canoe- 

 ists that was made in 1885 Besides the annual meet of the Assoc : - 

 ation, it has been the custom for some years of the local club to spend 

 part of a week each summer at Ross Lake. From the general custom 

 there came a demand for some permanent accommodations at the 

 lake, and the club house now in existence was built. It is the annual 

 hegira of the members of the club that has taken them there at the 

 present time, and the three days, concluding with to-day, spent on the 

 water and in the club's quarters have been unusually pleasant. 



The officers and members of the club are: Captain, Geo. B. Ellard; 

 Boatwain, H D. Crane; Purser, C. J. Steadman; Judge 8. N. Maxwell, 

 Thomas P. Eckert, Nicholas Longworth, T. T. Gaff, F. G. Rolker, H. 

 T. Gfoesbeck, T< J. Ktrkpatrick. 



Among the visitors quartered at the Club hoUse during the meet 

 were Dr. James A, Henshall ( Col. J. R. Bartlett, of Fremont, ex-Com- 

 Ihodore of the Western Canoe Association! Hon. Oeorge Gardner, ex- 

 Mayor of Cleveland and commodore of the Cleveland Y. O, and G. N. 

 Gardner, of Cleveland also. The annual meet of the Western Canoe 

 Association takes place the second week in JUly at Picnic Point. Lake 

 Mendota, Madison, WiB. On account of the distance the local club 

 will not transport its boats to the meeting place but will content 

 themselves with a few others at Ballast Island, near Put-in-Bay, 

 where the meets of the Association have been held for several years 

 past. The Longworth Canoe Club occupies an exalted position in the 

 scale of clubs in the Association, several of its members having held 

 office in the organization, and the local club's present purser has 

 served a term as commodore of the Association. Will E. Wick.

CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



The canoe race at Iona Island on May 30 over a 3 mile course was 

 won by Henry Burke, Jack Reynolds second, both of the Sackbus 

 C. C, of Peekskill; the other entries were: Edward Tuttle and Michael 

 Games, of the Peekskill C. C. This is considered a great victory for 

 the Sackbus Club.

A Much Discussed Question Answered. 



Editor Forest and Stream: . 



Does a projectile— elongated lead bullet— when fired perpendicularly 

 into the air, and up to a distance of 2.000 or 3,000yds., at the moment 

 of returning to and striking the ground, possess the same velocity 

 or force at impact as imparted to it upon quirting the muzzle? 



This question is frequently asked and has recently been extensively 

 discussed among students and sportsmen. 



It has also been submitted to the American Testing Institution by 

 various parties, and considering that the question involves a general 

 interest I have concluded to answer it through the columns of your 



] °The^iuestion must be treated from a theoretical and a practical 

 point of view, and by pursuing such a course we find, as is often 

 the case, that theory and practice do not agree. 



According to the laws governing a free falling body the latter will, 

 during the first second of its travel, drop a distance of 4.9044 meters, 

 and owing to the acceleration, it s will double it velocity during the 

 next second, i. e., drop 9.80SS meters. 



To drop a distance of 2,000 meters the body would consume a time 

 equal to 20.2 seconds, and applying now the formulates, for instance, 

 laid down by G. Koch, namely v= ^2TcTs.= V 9 80e8; 2,000=198.8 it 

 would have a terminal velocity of 198.8 meters upon touching the 

 ground. 



Following the laws pertaining to a free falling body in a vacuum, a 

 bullet shot perpendicularly into the air would return to the muzzle or 

 ground at the same rate of speed or velocity and with the same pene- 

 trative force as imparted to it at the moment of leaving the muzzle. 



In other words, the projectile would in such a case continue to rise 

 until its own weight and its velocity would neutralize each other. 

 Koch illustrates this fact by the following formula, in which v stands 

 for velocity, g for the acceleration of the falling motion through 

 gravity in one second, and t for the number of seconds of the time of 



flight looked for. The projectile would reach its highest point when 

 v=g. t, therefore, after f=| seconds. Its distance from the muzzle 



after 1 1 seconds is v. 1 1 -| 1 1 2 ; considering this value equal to 0 gives 



the number of seconds after which the bullet haB again returned to 



2 1} 



the muzzle: t 1— The bullet, therefore, consumes in returning 



g 



— seconds; its rising point is its terminal velocity upon its return 



v, or equal to its initial velocity. 



This is the theoretical side of the question. When we come down to 

 practice matters aBsume quite a different aspect,|because here we must 

 take into consideration also the resistance of the air as an obstructive 

 factor in both directions of travel. On account of the resistance 

 offered to the bullet it cannot rise sufficiently high in order to regain 

 in returning by way of its accelerated motion its original velocity or 

 force at Impact. 



Practical experiments have and will demonstrate that, for instance, 

 a spherical bullet fired perpendicularly up into the air returns to the 

 ground with a comparative low velocity, and that it will not penetrate 

 a lin. pine board, for the simple reason that it did not reach a point 

 2,000 meters high, for if it had, it ought to have regained in falling a 

 much greater penetrative force. It has been shown that the terminal 

 velocity of a free falling body and dropping 2,000 meters is 198,8 

 meters. The initial velocity of a modern military rifle bullet is— taking 

 the French Lebel rifle as an example— 632 meters. A bullet imparted 

 with such a velocity will travel a distance of 2,000 meters In about 

 7.834 seconds, its terminal velocity is 160 meters, whereas a bullet fall- 

 ing the same distance will consume 20,2 seconds, and its terminal 

 velocity is 198.8 meters only. Its force at impact when touching the 

 ground is very much less than that imparted to it at the moment of 

 leaving the muzzle. 



The question as put must therefore be answered in the negative.

A large aggregation of very noisy riflemen met twenty six miles 

 northwest of San Antonio on the 27th inst. to participate in the annual 

 prize shoot of the Bexar Rifle Club. This club is composed entirely of 

 the farming and ranching element of that section of Bexar county— a 

 jolly lot of fellows who abandoned themselves to the pleasures of the 

 festivities and treated their visitors royally. The only representatives 

 from San Antonio were Messrs. A. Steves and O C. GuesSaZ. New 

 Braunfels, Live Oak, Cut Off and the Salado clubs were also repre- 

 sented. Following are the scores in detail. Conditions, 6 shots, 

 185yds., muzzle rest, open sights, American standard target:

Some of the finest shooting overseen at the "short range" in the 

 State was done at the regular practice shoot of the San Antonio Rifle 

 Club on the afternoon of JUne 3. Preparations were made for attend- 

 ance on the coming prize shoot and .tournament of the Ackerman 

 Club, which will take place on the 17th. Judging from the scores 

 made here, San Antonio will undoubtedly sweep the field; Two hun-

Pacific Coast Shots. 



San Francisco, May 28. — The semi-monthly shoot of the Columbia 

 Pistol ond Rifle Club was held at Shell Mound Range yesterday. Th« 

 weather conditions were not good, a shifting light with variable wi ids 

 prevailing all day. 



A novel contest was inaugurated by the club. Col. Kellogsr pre- 

 sented a gold medal, to be competed for by all comers, distance 50yds , 

 man target (such as is used by the Schuetzen clubs), 5 shots, any 

 pistol or revolver, scoring to count as follows: contestant to be al- 

 lowed as many seconds as he wishes in which to shoot his 5 shots, said 

 number of seconds to be deducted from the total points made in his 

 5 shots. The remainder will be contestant's score. In this contest the 

 revolver has an immense advantage over the pistol, as the 5 shots can 

 easily be. fired in 20 seconds by the former weapon, whereas it will take 

 very nearly twice that time with the pistol The score in this contest 

 was: Capt. J. E. Klein 76, in 26 seconds, making the score 50; A. H. 

 Pope 66, 20 seconds, score 46; F. O. Young 85, 40 seconds, 45; O. M. 

 Daiss 78. 34 Beconds, 44; L. O. Rodgers 52, 36 seconds, 16; A. L. 

 Ott 30, 15' seconds, 15; S. I. Kellogg 42, 35 seconds, 7; H Heeth 24, 15 

 seconds, 5. 



Dr. Rodgers, the president, beine inspired by the possession of a 

 new .22-30in. S. & W. target pistol, surpassed himself by making a 

 score of 10 30 10 10 9 10 9 9 8 10-95 The grand score of 97 made 

 on this target (the all-comers' Blanding medal) two weeks ago by 

 young Pape was also made with a S & W. target pistol. F. O. Young's 

 score, 94, C. M. Daiss 92, C Thierbach 68.

 and contains a greater amount of rifle information than any previous 

 issue, so far as my knowledge goes. I congratulate the editor upon 

 bis enterprise, likewise the readers. Roebl,
