provided for marking. On arriving in New York in September, 1895- 
ae found that this marking was merely driving a copper tack inf o the 
deck, plumb with each end of the load line (as near as could be) . 
Accordingly, on Sept. 5, he wrote to the Cup committee as follows: 
"This contest may possibly extend over a period of ten days or a fort- 
night, It is obvious that alterations in the l.w.l. length of a vessel 
may under present conditions be made without an owner's knowledge" 
and without possibility of detection * * * For this reason I re- 
quest that the measurer be instructed to mark each vessel's meas- 
ured l.w.l. on the stem and stern," The committee assented 
to this; but there appears to have been some delay, and their 
instructions arrived at the dock too late for the marking to be carried 
out at the time of measurement on Sept. 6, However, Lord Dunraven 
and Mr. Iselin agreed that the yachts should return to the dock to he 
marked on the following day. 
So far this seemed satisfactory enough ; but as events turned out it 
proved most unsatisfactory. As the yachts were not marked, Lord 
Dunraven, Mr. Arthur Glennie, Mr. G L. Watson, and Mr. T. Rataey 
took notes of Defender's trim, and observed that a certain pipe hole 
was just awash, or visible out of water, that the bronze sheathing or 
"boot top" was well above water, and that the bobstay bolt was a 
certain distance (estimated at i4in.) above water. Previously to 
beiag measured, Valkyrie had some weight removed from her hull, 
and lead ballast substituted for the same. Defender had been 
similarly treated, and two tons of lead were put on board; but on 
•weighing the material which had been removed it was discovered that 
she could have another ton. This additional ton was accordingly put 
on her cabin floor during measurement, and subsequently removed to 
ber tug, where it was sawn in two for stowage and placed on board 
again— that one ton and no more, according to the evidence. The 
yachts went down to Sandy Hook the same day, and were berthed 
within 300yds. of each other. On the following day Mr. Arthur Glen- 
nie. at about 6 o'clock, had a look at Defender through glasses, and 
thought she appeared to be deeper in the water; he thereupon rowed 
round her, and found, he states, that the pipe hole was under water 
and could not be seen, also that the yacht seemed to be deeper m the 
water. He returned to Valkyrie, awoke Lord Dunraven, and informed 
him of what he had observed. Lord Dunpaven later on rowed round 
Defender, when he put his representative on board, but failed to sight 
the pipe hole; he also thought the bobstay bolt much nearer the 
water. 
This appears to be the whole evidence on which the charges were 
based, and it seems to have been sufficient to arouse the strongest 
suspicion that additional weight had been put on board the yacht after 
measurement. The tug incident first aroused suspicion, and the dis- 
appearance of the pipe hole seemed proof strong as Holy Writ that 
the yacht had taken in weight. Lord Dunraven did not, however, un- 
dertake to say how the supposed change of trim was brought about, 
whether by putting additional lead on board, or by means of water 
tanks, or any other means. It can, however, at once be said that the 
evidence shows pretty conclusively that no more than the three tons 
of lead allowed were put on board, and that was traced in the evidence 
through the carrier to the place of purchase. It also seems equally 
clear that no water tanks were on board as ordinarily understood; but 
how the hull below the flosr was constructed, whether in watertight 
compartments or not, no plans were furnished to show. Mr. Herres- 
hoff stated that she could not carry water ballast, and the evidence 
appears to be pretty conclusive that no water ballast was on board. 
In the course of tne defense it was stated that the tug was alongside 
during the night for the convenience of riggers; that from ten to 
twelve tons of ballast would have been required to immerse the yacht 
3in and it would have been impossible to get such an amount on 
board without the fact being known to a large number of people; that 
the pipe hole was immersed because the crew went to the side to see 
Lord Dunraven, and that they were in the bow wh«n the bobstay was 
noted. These things are of course possible. It should be pointed out, 
however, that the crew did not rush to the side at 6 o'clock in the 
morning to see Mr, Glennie; but then it was also stated that th« main 
boom was carried a little on the quarter, which would account for 
s^rae amount of list. , . ., 
Certainly the general conclusion is, after a perusal of the evidence 
(GOO pages), that the case was not made out; and this was impossible 
after such a lapse of time. The committee upon this say Lord Dun- 
raven should not have reopened the charge after accepting the issue 
of the remeasurement on Sept. 8 in silence; to this Lord Dunraven has 
replied that he would not. have done so had not the Cup committee 
gone into the matter in their report in October last, because he saw 
the futility of reiterating a charge which could only be satisfactorily 
proved or disproved at the moment it was made. The committee, in 
conclusion, state that they are unanimously of opinion that Lord Dun- 
raven's charge had its origin in a mistake, and this is possibly the 
case; but we must bear in mind that his positive evidence was mostly 
disproved by evidence of a negative character. The club of itself, it 
appears, took no steps to investigate the matter, and the committee 
heard such witnesses as presented themselves. Upon this evidence, 
as we have already said, they compiled a sufficiently impartial report; 
but, while dismissing Lord Dunraven in a rather off-hand manner, 
they declare it "just to Mr. Iselin, and the gentlemen concerned with 
him. as well as officers and crew, to express emphatically their con- 
viction that nothing whatever occurred in connection with the race 
which casts the least suspicion upon the integrity or propriety of 
their conduct." A great point was made in the inquiry tnat Lord 
Dunraven should have continued to race after he suspected he was 
being cheated, and found that the committee would not assist him in 
ascertai ning if he was or not. We do not s«e what this has to do with 
the issue, but perhaps the objact of bringing it forward was to show 
that Lord Dunraven himself did not, at the time, seriously believe in 
the charges. Of course, it was a difficult situation to be in, but we 
think Lord Dunraven did the right thing in accepting the result of the 
second measurement in silence and continuing to race. The one mis- 
take he made was not making his protest and demand in writing or in 
person before the race was started, when he put his representative on 
board Defender.

bia Y. C, of Chicago, including Messrs. Robert Keys, Frank V 
Newell and others, to meet the newVincedor. The yacht will be 
built by the Racine Boat Manufacturing Co., and will be 60ft. over all, 
40ft. l.w.l, 12ft. Sin. b»a-n, and 8ft. 6in. draft; the hull alone drawing

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Ex-Com. Thomas Sully, Southern Y. O, has designed and will build 
an P5f t. steam yacht to replace his well known steam yacht Helen, of 
50ft. 
At its annual meeting on Feb. 11, the Eastern Y. C. elected the fol- 
lowing officers: . 
Com., William Armory Gardiner, achr. Mayflower; vioe-com,, Henry 
W. Lamb, schr. Marguerite; rear-corn , Augustus Hemenway, sip. 
Chiquita; sec'v, Wm. S. Eaton, Jr.: treas., Patrick T. Jackson; meas.,

Robert Saltonstall and J. Prince Loud. 
On Feb 20 the news was received in New York from Bermuda that 
Cuthbert 8. Johnson, a relative of Richards. Palmer, owner of Yampa, 
had shot himself aboard the yacht, then at anchor at Bermuda. The 
sad news was confirmed a day or so later and further particulars 
given. Mr. Johnson, who was 30 years of age, was a New York man, 
but spent much of his time abroad, and last year joined Yampa at 
Plymouth for the voyage to New York. He was one of the party 
which sailed from Boston on Feb. 11, the others being R. S. Palmer, 
Theodore O. Zarega, George A. Cormack and Cambridge Livingston. 
He was suffering severely from neuralgia during the cruise, and re- 
mained aboard while the others went ashore, shooting himself in the 
head during their absence. The body was embalmed and sent to New 
York by the Trinidad, The yacht will continue her voyage to the 
West Indies. 
Reports from Glasgow state that the keel of a large racing yacht 
has been laid in Henderson's vards on the old keel blocks of Valkyrie 
III,, the design being by Mr. Watson. The yacht is probably for the 
Emperor of Germany, and rumor has it that she is to be a schooner, 
also that Mr. Watson has designed another large cutter. 
Intrepid, steam yacht, Lloyd Phcoaix, is now nearly ready at Tebo's 
for a trip to the Mediterranean, and will sail early next month with 
Mr. Phoenix in command.

HANDLING A REVOLVER. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Reading the articles lately published in your paper on 
police revolver practice and revolver shooting in general, 
I have been led to think perhaps there are a good many 
people in the world more or less familiar with rifle and 
wing shooting who are as deplorably, ignorant of the 
proper handling of a revolver as the now celebrated awk- 
ward squad of Sargeant Petty's, and the thought has sug- 
gested itself to me that an article on revolver practice 
and the proper way of holding, together with hints on 
calibers, ammunition, etc., would be very acceptable to 
your readers. 
Take my own case. I have done considerable wing 
shooting, some rifle work on the ranges, and more or less 
intermittent revolver shooting, as opportunity offered, 
though I know nothing of the methods pursued by 
experts. 
My method is the natural one. I hold the revolver at 
arm's lengh, shut one eye, perhaps both at the instant of 
firing, and, holding 1ft. to lift, below the bull, pull off. 
On going up to the target. I am not disappointed if I find 
the bullet hole 6in. or so above the bull or to the right or 
left. 
I use a S. & W. target revolver and with llgrs. of pow- 
der, shooting at 20yds. I have to hold at least 12 to 18in. 
below the bull. If I grip very tight in my efforts to come 
up on the target, the revolver starts to wabbling, and 1 
am obliged to ease up until it becomes quiet, and then if 
I hold on the bull I land away up, all out of reason. 
One point I would like to know is, how do Mr. Petty 
and his class hold ? Can they hold on the lower edge of 
the bull and get there ? 
As the rear sight of a revolver is not depressable. and 
as I have never seen or heard of an elevating front sight, 
how do two men, say, who are physically opposites, hold 
to obtain the same result? 
Talking with an army officer a short time ago, who 
takes a great interest in the rifle practice of his regiment, 
I out the question, How do your men get along with the 
revolver? In what I thought a rather contemptuous 
manner he replied, "Oh, you don't do any aiming with a 
revolver. You just bring it down from a perpendicular 
position to a line on your object and fire." And I drew 
the conclusion, if the result was there or thereabouts they 
were satisfied. 
Richard Harding Davis in his book "The West from a 
Car Window" describes the revolver shooting of the 
Texas rangers in much the same way, only he accords 
to them unparalleled accuracy. 
There are numerous works on rifle shooting, going into 
every detail of the art, and not one, so far as I know, on 
revolver shooting that ia of any value, 
So, as I have indicated above, an article on revolver 
shooting in Forest and Stream, gotten up by some one 
in whom we have confidence, would be very acceptable 
to a certain class of its readers, and perhap3 stimulate 
others to take up the arm. 
Do you think a request made to Mr. Walter Winans, 
Sergeant Petty, and the contestants in the competition 
for the Winans trophy, including also any other shot you 
may know of, to furnish an article on their knowledge of 
the subject, would be productive of any return ?

[Our correspondent should procure a higher front sight. 
One should no more attempt to practice with a revolver 
that is not properly sighted than with a rifle under simi- 
lar circumstances.] 
San Francisco Riflemen. 
San Francisco, Feb. 9.— Yesterday being a lovely day Shell Mound 
Range was alive with riflemen. 
Scores of the S. F. Schuetzen Verein: 
Champion class, L. Bendel 480 rings; first class, D. B. Faktor 434 
rings; third class, John Dewitt 402 rings; fourth class, J. D. Hesse 367 
rings; first best shot, A, Mocker 25; best last shot, A. Mocker 24. 
The Germania Schuetzen Club also shot scores as follows: 
Champion class, D. B. Faktor 428 rings; first class, J. Alpers 413 
rings; third class, H. J. Wicker 418 rings; fourth class. W. Garmes

24. 
The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club is much pleased with its new 
Columbia target, which they use for all weapons at both 50 and 
200yd8. This target is by far the most common sense one I know of. 
The center ring is lin. in diameter, the other rings around this being 
3^in. apart. The center space is labeled 1 and the next space 2, etc. 
This system affords the shooter definite information on two points- 
first, the diameter of the circle struck by his bullet; for instance, if 
the marker wheels a 5 the shooter knows he has struck in a 5in. circle; 
secondly, it affords a close approximation to string measure; for in- 
stance, if the marker disks and wheels a 3 the shooter knows his shot 
approximates l¥>\n. from the center; if an 8 is shown the bullet hole 
is 4 in. from the center. This target is also used for military rifles, 
preserving the old Creedmoor lines, 1 to 8 inclusive counting 5, 9 to 27 
inclusive counting 4. I assure you there are v»ry few ties made on 
this target, and by this system of numbering the rinss the shooter 
gets the full and exact value of his shot. It is, I should think, almost 
an ideal tareet for rest shooting. The size bullseye used by the 
Columbia Club is 12in,, but it could be made of any other size, as only 
rings count. #
