on the same general dimensions, but in which the form 
and details might be considerably improved. 
After the new design was completed, no opportunity 
presented of building to it, but it was finally turned over 
to a correspondent of the Forest and Stream, Mr, L. I. 
Flower, of MacDonald's Corner, New Brunswick, whose 
canoe and boat cruises on the St. John's River are familiar 
to our readers. The boat was built in 1890 and is, we be- 
lieve, still in use, having proved very satisfactory. She 
was intended, in this special case, for afternoon sailing 
in summer on Washademoak Lake, an offshoot of the St. 
John's, and for short cruises with two or three aboard, so 
the large sail plan shown was given her; for such single- 
hand cruising in open waters as these boats are mainly 
used for, a smaller and different rig would be used. The 
midship section of the old boat was practically retained,

with the same beam, length and displacement, but the 
draft was increased about 5in., with a more effective keel 
outline. The dimensions and elements of the Trent, as 
she was named by Mr. Flower, are:

The foundry weight of the iron keel proved to be

The boat carried her sail well and proved quite fast in 
sailing in company with other local boats, though she has 
never raced. Though a crew of two or three is needed to 
carry full sail in a breeze, the sails and spars are so light 
that they are easily managed by one man alone. The de- 
tails of construction, which we shall give next week, have 
been worked out very carefully to insure a strong, light 
hull, with as much internal room as possible at a moder- 
ate cost, and the work itself would not prove difficult to 
any one familiar with ordinary boat building. 
Steam Launches for Mexico. 
The first of several steam launches, of special design for Southern 
Mexico, has just been shipped by the Marine Iron Works, Clybourn 
and Southport ave3., Chicago, the destination being 3,200 miles from 
that city. Shipments of this character are safely made by rail for the 
small and medium-sized launches, but for larger work the same com- 
pany build only the ''complete outfits "of marine machinery and 
equipment for the native boat builders.— Adv.

Revolver Shooting' in England. 
London, England, Jan, 10.— The season's shooting at the London 
Revolver Gallery in Swallow street, Piccadilly, finished on Dec. 31, 1895 
Walter Winans won the challenge revolver bowl with a highest pos- 
sible score, and is now the holder of that trophy. The bowl has to be 
won three times in succession, at intervals of four months, to become 
the absolute property of the winner. It was instituted on Oct 1 
1895, so Mr. Winans is the first holder. The conditions are 6 shots 
20yds., any revolver and ammunition. Mr. Winaus used a Smith & 
Wesson and U. M. C. gallery ammunition, black powder. After making 
a highest possible, he shot IS shots more in case of a tie. This was not 
necessary, as no one else equaled his score. 
Zettler Rifle Club. 
New York, Jan. 14.— The scores made at the weekly shoot of the 
Zettler Rifle Club held this evening at the club'8 headquarters, 219 
Bowery, were as follows: 
Dominion Off-Hand Rifle Association. 
Parry Sound, Ont., Jan. 10.— The scores for the January shoot of 
the Dominion Off- Hand Rifle Association were shot to-day by the dif- 
ferent clubs forming the Association; the Bradford Club did not 
shoot. 
The weather was bitterly cold and the scores are below the average 
owing to the inclemency of the weather. At 200yds. we use an 8in. 
bullseye, a 4in. bull at 100yds. Scores as made:

In our report of the Larchmont Amateur Championship, which ap- 
peared in the issue of Jan. 18, we criticised a decision of the referee 
John S. Hoey. in regard to Wright's 94th bird. In that criticism we 
argued that "the referee was strictly within his limits, the only point 
we differ on is probably as to 'opinion.' " At the time of the occur- 
rence, owing to Mr. Hoey's sudden departure to catch a train, leaving 
before the ties for second money were shot off, we were unable to talk 
to him in regard to the bird, our only information being the story as 
told by Wright. A letter from Mr. Hoey explains the reasons for his 
decision. "Man and dog were both in the field when the second bar- 
rel was fired and a balk was claimed; the bird was hit with 
both barrels. While the dog was running for the bird 
(which was within bounds), I asked Wright, 'Quick; do you 
positively claim a balk?' He replied, 'Yes, It's a balk.' 
This was before the dog got the bird, which was still in bounds. As 
he positively claimed a balk. I would not have given him a good bird 
even had it been retrieved in bounds; as I acknowledged his claiming 
a balk, it had to be a 'no bird.'" The club rule on this point, as quoted 
in our issue of Jan. 18, says: "If in the opinion of the referee the 
shooter is balked * * * by the trapper or dog * * * he may be 
allowed another bird." In Mr. Hoey's opinion, therefore, and he was 
so situated as to be able to judge correctly, the presence of man and 
dog in the field did balk Wright, and a balk being claimed he allowed 
him another bird. Under the circumstances and under th6 above 
rule, we repeat "the referee was strictly within his limits." 
H. S. Lippack, of Dexter Park, Brooklyn, N. Y., announces that he 
will hold a hve-bird handicap shoot at his grounds on Feb. 6, the shoot 
commencing at 10 A. M. sharp. The following are the conditions' 25 
live birds per man, handicaps ranging from 26 to 31yds., 50yds. boun- 
dary, $10 entrance, birds extra; if 10 entries, $15 added to purse; if 15 
entries, $25; 20 entries or more, $40; class shooting, four moneys, A S 
A. rules to govern. Entries close Feb. 4, and must be accompanied 
by one-half of the entrance fee. All communications on the subject 
should be addressed to H. S. Lippack, P. O. Station E, Brooklyn N 
Y. Jacob Pentz, Major J. M. Taylor and Edward Banks will act as 
handicapping committee. The above should prove a popular event 
Long Islanders not having had a chance of joining iu such a shoot for 
some time. 
The annual report of the Knoxville Gun Club is given in another 
column. In sending us the report, Secretary Van Gilder writes- "I 
wish more of the gun clubs would follow these same general lines and 
let the shooters know what they are doing, even if it is only once a 
year." We echo Mi-. Van Gilder's sentiments, and would point out 
that it is a fact that a live club has a live secretary, and that it is the 
live secretary that keeps his club before the shooting public. The 
natural conclusion is, therefore, when you don't see anything about a 
certain club in Forest anb Stream for a month or two that club and 
its secretary are both dead. 
J. Emmett Harvey, manager of the Texas State Sportsmen's and 
Game Protective Association tournament for 1896, writes as follows 
under date of Jan. 10: "Please announce that I claim the dates April 
20, 21, 22, 23 and 24, for the twentieth annual toiirnament of the Texas 
Slate Sportsmen's and Game Protective Association, al Houston 
Open to the world; $1,000 in cash and merchandise prizes. There wili 
in ail probability be a Texas State championship challenge handicap 
at live birds inaugurated at this meeting, for valuable diamond 
badge and $500 cash, 25 live birds, $35 entrance, badge ooen to State 
shooters only, money open to the world." 
At the annual meeting of the Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N 
J., the following officers were elected for 1896: President— Z. P 
Fletcher, M. D.; Vice-President— Frank Post; Secretary— J. A. Creve- 
ling, 371 New York avenue, Jersey City; Treasurer— J. D. Polhamus; 
Captain— G. H. Piercy; Directors— E. P. Ingram, H. L. Corson and G. 
H. Piercy. The club had a very prosperous season in 1895, and has 
increased Its membership by 12. It was also decided to hold an all-day 
shoot at the club's grounds, Marion, N. J., on Washington's Birthday, 
Feb. 22. 
Fred. Hoey shot a marvelous uphill race on Saturday last, Jan. 18 
on the Hollywood grounds. With Louis Duryea 4 birds ahead at the 
commencement of the 76th round, it looked like a foregone conclusion 
that Hoey would be in the rear when all was over, but by killing "44 
out of his 25 he managed t o tie Duryea, who lost 5 birds out of his 
string. Both men scored 86 out of 100; this does not sound such very 
big work, but it should be remembered that the birds were a capital 
lot and that the Hollywood boundary Is only 21yds. 
The South Side Gun Club, of Milwaukee, Wis., held its annual meet- 
ing on Jan. 7. The following is a list of the officers chosen for the 
year: President, John F. Burnham; Secretary, Adolph Gropper; 
Treasurer, C. W Milbrath; Directors, T. M. Drought, H. S. Siefeld, 
and Dr. J. P. Carmichael. The club is formulating plans for another 
series of State team shoots to take place at its grounds, Lake Station, 
during the coming season. The Secretary's address is 350 Twenty- 
eighth avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. 
' A 25-bird sweep, $25 entrance, birds included, will be decided on 
Charlie Zwirlein's grounds at Yardville, N. J., on Wednesday, Jan. 
29. Zwirleiu writes: "I think I will have 20 entries if half of those 
who have promised to come show up at the traps. I have a fine lot of 
birds on hand now and will have about 800 in my coops by the above 
date, so there'll be lots of birds to pick from." As a general thing, 
Charlie doesn't have to "pick" much; they're all good in his coops. 
In sending us a report of the Rochester-Buffalo target shoot (which 
report unfortunately came to hand too late for this issue), DeWitt, 
of Rochester, says: "The Buffalo b^ys did all they could to make 
things very pleasant for us (the Rochester team) . At the return 
match, which comes off on our grounds on Feb. 22, the Buffalo team 
will have a good old-fashioned time which they will not forget for a 
long time." 
Elmer E, Shaner is in the city, making final arrangements for the 
successful outcome of the Grand American Handicap at Elkwood 
Park. Elmer regrets that he could not do better than break 16 out of 
his last 25 in the 100-target sweep at the Herron Hill grounds on Jan. 
14. His only comfort is that his grand total of 81 beat the totals 
of Jim Crow and Old Hoss. 
Paul North writes us that the programme for the Chamberlin 
tournament will be ready for distribution next week. The programme 
will be a work of art and contains a great deal of information that 
will be of much use and interest to members of gun clubs and others 
interested in trap-shooting. Paul adds: "Send stamp for 1896 cata- 
logue and programme of tournament." We'll do nothing of the kind, 
Paul; we're deadheads, sure. 
In writing us in regard to the E, C. tournament next May, Noel E. 
Money adds a postscript that has a good deal of pith in it: "At San 
Antonio we took'.first, second and third averages for the whole five 
days, while the E. C. cup was tied for by Parmalee and Worthington, 
both of whom broke 49 out of 50, and both of whom were using our 
powder." 
In our list of guns, shells and powders used by those shooting in the 
Larchmont championship event on Jan. 10 and 11, we stated that Mur- 
phy shot a Purdey gun. This was an error, as Murphy has always of 
late years shot a Francotte gun, and did so on this occasion, when he 
won the cup, beating out the best amateurs of this section of the 
country. 
It looks like old times to see the name E. D. Miller in the list of 
those shooting at San Antonio. It's a long time since Enoch picked 
up his stakes and joined the boys in front of the traps at aDy large 
tournament. Let's hope that this is but a beginning, a turning over 
of a new leaf for the season of 1896. 
The Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City. N. J., will shoot a series of 
team races with the Boiling Springs Gun Club, the first of the series 
taking place to-day (Jan. 25) on the grounds of the Boiling Springs 
Club, at Rutherford, N. J., at 1 P. M. 
A new gun club has been organized at Cambridgeboro, Pa., under 
the title of Cambridge Springs Gun Club. It has the following list of 
officers: President, W. D. Rider, Jr.; Secretary, Clark D.Eckels; 
Treasurer, F. L. Winchester. 
George Work and J. P. Knapp shot a series of four 100 bird races 
last season, breaking even, eacn winning two. This season thus far 
they have shot a couple of races, and in each one Knapp has easily 
beaten his opponent. 
The Forester Gun Club, of Davenport, la., will hold a live-bird and. 
target shoot, open to all comers, on Feb. 26, 27 and 28. For further 
particulars address J. F. Kroy, secretary, Davenport, la. 
The Algona, la., Gun Club will hold its annual tournament on May 
5 and 6. 
Edward Banks. 
South Side Club, of Milwaukee.

The club is getting up a State team shoot for the John F, Burnham 
medals; 5 members of any regular organized gun club of the State of 
Wisconsin to constitute a team, 50 targets per man, to be shot off in 
squads of 4, rapid-firing system, targets to be thrown from 3 traps. 
Entrance per team, $10, which sum will be refunded to the team winning 
against the South Side Gun Club team. The John F. Burnham 
medals are 5 fine gold medals, and will be awarded to the team making- 
the highest score. The shoots are to take place on Saturdays, begin- 
ning aboutJMay 9 
The club wiil also arrange for a State championship team shoot for 
the Pfister Hotel medals, which are diamond medals valued at $100, 
2 men of any organized gun club of this State to constitute a team; 50 
birds per man. The date for this shoot has not been set yet, but we 
will make it known later. Adolph Gropper, Sec'y.
