Canoes and Canoe Sailing in 1894. 
From the Field, 
Bousee End with a moderate breeze, however, proved to be quite 
open enough for the canoes which have mustered there for the cup 
and other races: qlit.of the six canoes which have entered the races 
four have capsized, Battledore and Curlew at time of writing being 
the exceptions. Whizz and Stella capsized la the cup race, and, 
owing to having ordinary wells instead of watertight bucket wells, 
they shipped so much water as to be practically unmanageable even, 
in those quiet waters and light wind. What the result would have 
been had the capsizes been in Sea Reach, or even on the Crouch, with 
a breeze and a sea. experts know very well, and novices had better 
not try the experiment except in good close company. 
These capsizes in the cup race are not to be looked upon as ac- 
cidents due to close and exciting contests with abnormal sail plans; 
the same canoes out a day or two before, for pleasure and trial spins, 
turned turtle on equally slight provocation. The wind was a light 
breeze with a. few livening stiff puffs, and out of the five canoes out 
sailing, including the Yankee, all except the Battledore capsized. One 
sank; another was so filled as to be Unmanageable and in need of as- 
sistance; the others were righted, but probably only owing to its being 
quite smooth water. Battledore, however, is a bulb keeler, hence her 
comparative superiority against the temptation to turn over, notwith- 
standing she is of the old type and but 3lin. beam. 
Of course, there was nothing very novel in the Capsizing of a sailing 
canoe under the late rules, which limited depth, pinched the beam, 
denied the use of outside ballast and scouted sliding seats; but flow 
the rules have been changed, it is no longer necessary to accept capsiz- 
ing as part of a sailing canoe's unchangeable nature, nor to admire the 
feather-like bendings of the American canoe Yankee, which was "laid 
flat" five times in one hour's sailing at Teddington, and be it remem- 
bered that Yankee and . Dragon are both new boats, and built under 
the new rdles presumably "up to date." but without taking advantage 
of them from the seaworthy side. This type of crew-balanced surface 
flitter is in some parts of America called a "shy boat," and is the true 
cause of men, that is wise men, going off into canoe-yawls. We con- 
fess to a feeling deeply the reverse of pride at the performance of the 
canoes of 1894; they are a direct adverse advertisement of canoe sail- 
ing as a sport, unhappily exhibited before a number of expert boat 
sailors at Bourne End, and a direct stiflerof the prospects of recruit- 
ing the ranks of canoe sailing. The bright reverse, however, clearly 
shone out in the easy, steady sailing of the bulb keel Battledore. Had 
Bbe been beaten in the light winds it might have been so expected, but 
the bulb proved no stopper; and, probably, a new boat up to full beam 
and with bulb and slide, would have lost the fleet even in that smooth 
water, and how much more so on open and rough water? 
We Borne tithe ago suggested a cure for the evil, an evil which not 
only hae nearly killed canoe sailing, but is moving up into canoe-yawls 
and 1-rater classes. We would leave the classification and rating rules 
as they are, but suggest the universal institution of a racing black 
list and time penalty, the penalty to be cumulative, and to continue 
through the season. For every capsize in a race one minute shall be 
given to all competitors holding a clean certificate, and such acts of 
folly should be indorsed upon her certificate of rating. 
Passing now to the new craft (the Dragon), of course, at present she 
^comparatively untried; "but in the races she has been through she 
puts canoe design for sailing races "no forrader." She is a surface 
skimmer of nearly the Sorceress type— that is, she has all the princi- 
ples; but, owing to class limit of beam, a sliding seat puts the crew 
Out even beyond where Sorceress type beam would have put the crew, 
and which is probably an absolute advantage. She is from the draw- 
ing board of Mr. Linton Hope, the designer of that celebrated craft 
the Sorceress, 1-rater. She has a deep, narrow, twistable brass center- 
plate of carving-knife shape and sharpness. Intended to twist and 
cut to windward, it also cuts up towards the surface, as we predicted 
anent the Sorceress type, and thus almost, if not quite, causes a 
capsize. 
She is too crank, quick-about and flitter-like to be really "sailed" on 
a wind. She would probably be far better if fitted with a bulb keel; 
but then she would be lowered in the water, her waterline increased, 
sail reduced and very little boat surviving above water. She is a 
beautiful piece of light workmanship and fitting— in every way a 
credit to her builder. Mr. Theo. Smith, of Oxford. Her speed was 
much hampered by two causes— her well and slide seat are quite 
lft. too far forward, maybe even more; her sail was battened, that 
its form was convex to the wind. Flat surface is bad enough, but 
convex !— well, not until steamboat men try boat-sailing. 
The American canoe Yankee, we have described before en more 
than one occasion as of straight horizontal keel and hollow ends, and 
16ft.X30in., and her performance on Bourne End Reach suggests no 
alteration of our previous ideas respecting her. If not designed 
specially for smooth lake and up-river reaching, she certainly is a 
most peculiarly design, in our opinion, for rough, open water sailing. 
The design, coupled with position of crew and form of rig, is about 
perfect for straight reaching in dead smooth water, or on long, undu- 
lating swells in a steady breeze, even of good strength, and under such 
conditions probably she would walk away from our turn-about type. 
But sailing is not reaching, and the Yankee is poor and uncertain in 
tacking; and, from her strong proclivities for turning turtle, the re- 
sult of an attempt to tack in short breaking sea, such as is common on 
tidal waters below bridge and at Burnham, would probably be a stern- 
board and over. 
We now find canoe sailing in 1894 in this position. We are credibly 
informed that, had it not been for the American challenge and the 
Royal Canoe Club's request for defenders, probably only one canoe 
would have appeared at Bourne Eod to sftil over for the cup this sea- 
son. Then, owing to the challenge being put in only three weeks' 
before the race, only one new canoe was built, and she had not time 
to be tuned up or tested in any way. No canoe has been built <">r 
faltered fully up to the possibilities under the new rule on the bulb and 
sloop side, though Dragon has appeared fully up to date on the 
skimmer and una-rigged side. All have taken the sliding seat, but it 
has not cured the epidemic of carsizing. The Battledore alone comes 
out with the bulb and a sturdy suit of well-sitting sails, and she wins 
the cup, an 1 does not capsize. Considering the recent strange event 
in regard to the International competition, it is very fortunate that 
patriotic attempts to defend the cups, by rushing the building of ex- 
pensive boats at too close a time for any real trial before the race, and 
which would not be wanted afterwards, was confined to one. Had 
there been a couple of months' not'ce of challenge, probably five new 
canoes would have been expressly bu.lt for that one purpose. But we 
very much dqubt if even one of them would have been built with any 
approach to a straight horizontal keel, a hollow bow and run, SOin. of 
beam and 16ft. waterline, for 0 3-rating, for up-river sailing or even 
for rough water-sailing on tidal waters. 
Mr. Howard in England. 
From the Field. 
The American canoeist, Mr. Howard, intends to sail in the sailing 
race in the R. C. 0. regatta, but whether he will obtain any competi- 
tors from among the best of his Bourne End competitors is verv 
doubtful. At the time of writing we hear of only one other entry, and 
that is of a comparatively slow boat, by no means a cup winner. 
Sailing, as far as leading sailing men are concerned, practically ended 
at Bourne End, so far as up-river is concerned, but will be revived at 
Burnham-on-Crouch, on Aug. 16. etc., for canoe-yawls and %-raters. 
Mr. Howard, in a statement published in several papers, states that 
he intends to sail his canoe Yankee at Salcomba, in the British Canoe 
Association Cup race, but there are difficulties to be dealt with. In 
the first place that cup is only open to members of that association. 
Then it is a handicap race, and how the handicapper is to place the 
Yankee it is very difficult even to guess. The known performance of 
this canoe up-river is about as poor as can be; but then, that was in 
light weather, and much turning on confined waters. But Mr. 
Howard states that his canoe is intended for open water sailing, rather 
an afterthought we should say, seeing that the Yankee was specially 
built to race for the challenge cup at Bourne End, on the Upper 
Thames. He claims that "in America if we do not make six miles an 
hour we call it a slow race;" and further, "it is conceded that on a 
fair course my canoe is the fastest ever seen in England." Where 
will the handicap-maker find himself between these two stools— the 
actual known performances and the modest claims of the owner? 
Yet one other slight difficulty exists, that is that the B. C. A. Cup 
is open to all sorts of crafts from canoes up to 1-raters. The B C. A. 
has no racing rules or definitions, and the conditions made by the 
donors of the cup appear to be open to the entry at least of p raters 
if not of 1-raters. Of course, it is impossible that the committee may 
elect to adopt the classification of the Royal C. C, but, in any case, 
the Yankee would have to go against canoe-yawls on possibly rough 
open water, and when all is done, we should have but the result of an 
arbitrary handicap, the sole object of which is to put poor performers 
on a level with the good and best. 
The "fair open water racing." which Mr. Howard is now seeking 
to obtain, existed up to the time of his withdrawal from the challenge 
cup race, but was removed in consequence of his own act. Members 
had been specially got to come forward to defend the cup, and to 
create an International race, and one canoe was specially built, and 
others were brought out solely to meet the Yankee. Then half an 
hour before the race the Yankee's entry is withdrawn. The com- 
mittee) of the Royal C. C. then met. and, in the circumstances, deter- 
mined that the club could not fairly ask its members to go to the 
expense and trouble of undertaking the defense of the special cup, 
which had been put on for an International race in August, at Burn- 
ham-at-Crouch, with, at least, the possibility of another withdrawal 
of the American entry. Thereupon the Burnham Cup was withdrawn 
frottt the programme. But if Mr. Howard wants salt water racing 
and not under handicap, there are still the canoe-yawl races at Burn- 
ham on August 16 aii" 17, and if six miles an hour is easy work for the 
Yankee he would have a rosy chance of leading the fleet, as we doubt, 
if any or many, canoe-yawls or half-raters would much exceed six 
knots at best. 
Canoe Racing at Victoria. 
The Queen's Birthday was celebrated at Victoria. B. C, by a carni- 
val of sports in which the Victoria C. C. took part, there being some 
good races. 
The first race was called for 16ft. canoes and under, course from th« 
canoe club house round the outer buov and return, a distance of one 
mile and a half, the entries being T..S. Gore.W. J. Holmes, C. A God- 
son and T. N Hibben. The canoes were lined up and at the word go 
Gore got away first, Godson following, while Holmes and Hibben were 
bow and bow as they went up the harbor toward Laurel Point. The 
breeze was somewhat light for Hibben's cauoe, a decked lapstreak, 
and he fell behind the lighter craft that skimmed away in go^d style. 
At the buoy. Godson turned first, with a lead of some 300ft., Gore 
next and Holmes third. Coming back Gore went gradually to the 
front, and the canoes came home well bunched. Gore crept ahead 
and crossed the line a winner, Godson only a few lengths behind and 
Holmes a good third. 
The second race, over the same course, for canoes 16ft. and under 
without centerboard, brought out H. B. Rogers, F. Mawdsley and A. 
Gore. Rogers's canoe carried a jigger and proved more than a match 
for the others. Rogers won handily, with A. Gore second. 
The sailing and paddling race came next, and brought out nine 
entries: C. A. Godson. J. P. Hibben, T. N. Hibben. F. Mawdsley, T. S. 
Gore, A. Gore. W. J. H. Holmes, D. C. Kurtz, — Kurtz. This was a 
capital race. Young Arthur Gore made a great lead in the paddling, 
and was away ahead at the turn, hut mistook the buoy and turned 
another a considerable distance further away, which threw him out 
of the race. C. A. Godson met with a spill and lost his chances of 
winning. Holmes sailed back winner on a spanking breeze that 
sprang up just at the right time, T. N. Hibben se.cond and Mawdsley 
third. 
The last event was the open race, for which there were eight entries, 
C. A. Godson, W. J. H. Holmes, A. J. Dallain, J. Fraser, T. S. Gore, 
H. B. Rogers and the two Hibbens. Holmes had everything just in 
trim as the word was given, and went ahead with a rush. Rogers, Gore 
and Godson in a bunch behind him, Holmes kept his h»ad all the way, 
but the race was a grand one, the flyers coming round the point weli 
together and making a fine sight. Holmes crossed the line a winner, 
while Gore and Rogers raced almost evenly for second place till near 
the finish, when Gore forged ahead and won the position, with Rogers 
third. 
There were also races for Indian crews in 30 and 40ft. canoes. 
Birch-Bark Canoes. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In the "Answers to Correspondents" column of July 14 you say you 
cannot givejaddress of any makers of birch-bark canoes. The Mic- 
mac Indians of Nova Scotia make fine birch-bark canoes. If your 
correspondent will write to John Louie, Bear River. Nova Scotia, 
Louie will either make him a canoe or get some other Indian there to 
do so. The price usually asked for a fair-sized canoe is about $16. 
The birch barks as made by the Nova Scotia Indians stand rough 
usage well, as I know from experience. C. M. Stark. 
CANOE NEWS NOTES. 
The Hoboken C. C. extends the courtesies of its club house, at 
Tenth street, Hoboken, to canoeists attending the A. C. A. meet. 
The racing at the W. C. A. meet has resulted in a win for Milwau- 
kee in the trophy race, she leading RIenwood in each heat. The two 
boats, after their meeting last year, have been put in perfect shape 
for the present races. The lines of Milwaukee, built by the St. Law- 
rence River Co., were published in the Forest and Stream on Feb. 
11, 1894.

The Columbias Challenge. 
San Francisco, July 2.— The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club of San 
Francisco was organized for the purpose of increasing general inter- 
est in, and the advancement of fine marksmanship. Its members are 
convinced that one of the most efficient means to this eud is the hold- 
ing of contests between teams representing different sections of our 
country. Therefore, actuated solely by this motive, the said club 
hereby issues this challenge: We will shoot any bona fide shooting 
club in America a 15 or 20 team telegraph all-round match, as follows: 
Each contestant to fire 20 shots with pistol Cany contestant may use a 
revolver if he prefers), 20 shots with target or any rifle, and 20 shots 
with regulation Springfield rifle, 60 shots in all to each man. Condi- 
tions, the Standard American target to be used exclusively (the black 
may include the 7 ring), distance 50yds. for the pistol and 200yds. for 
the other arms, trigger pull for pistol at least 21bs., for target rifle 
any pull, and for Springfield rifle at least 6Ibs.; sights, open for pistol, 
any for the target rifle (barring telescope), and regulation for the 
Springfield rifle ; position strictly off-hand, except that the usual 
Schuetzen palm rests may be used on target rifles only; pistol must be 
shot with one hand only and without any other support 
All matches must be shot on an open range, with no shading of any 
kind over the range or target, except immediately over the shooter 
(the usual boundary fences of shooting ranges of course are not in- 
cluded in this restriction). The contest to be held in September, 1894. 
The stakes to be a silver cup suitably engraved and to be furnished by 
the losers Details as to the appointment of judges, etc., to be 
arranged by letter. 
Should we get no answer to foregoing challenge then we stand ready 
to shoot a pistol match purely with 15 to 20 men. conditions as above, 
or, failing to get response to this, we will shoot a 20 or 25 team match 
with Springfield rifle, conditions as above.

A'. Ricochet Score. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Being a reader of your paper and a lover of rifle shooting I read 
everything pertaining to that sport of sports with the greatest inter- 
est. Being at one time a member of a rifle club, and like all other 
riflemen anxious to try my sights and new proportions of powder and 
lead, I was using at the time a Remington-Hepburn .40-70. varying the 
load to suit the distance shot over, .50-985 for distances und°r 300yds., 
and .70-370 up to 500yds. Still I was not suited; my idea was that a 
bullet of 450grs. weight would be a material advantage. So I ordered 
some made. At the same time I moved my Vernier sight back on the 
butt of my rifle and repaired to the range full of confidence and ex- 
pecting a clean score. But not in the way I eventually succeeded in 
getting it. As my turn to occupy the attention of the marker' came 
(we were shooting over the 500yds. range at this time) I assumed a 
recumbent position, took aim and fired, when a wave off was the re- 
sult. I tried again and still no hit. Assuming that I was over shoot- 
ing I lowered my sight and kept raising until I could trace it by the 
dust raised by impact with the ground. Raising my sight still more, 
I succeeded in being credited with a 2. Still going up, I got a 3, then 
a close 4. Then I commenced my score of 7 shots. I fired 5 shots with 
the following result: 5, 3, 4, 5. 3. As the last shot was fired, one of 
the members who was looking through a telescope reported that he 
thought the shot was ricochet, and I told him I would fire another 
shot, and he said that it certainly struck the ground as near as he 
could tell 25 or 30yds. short. Still I was credited with a 4 close to the 
bull. We immediately adjourned to the target to investigate, and 
found the ground at 80yds. in front of the target badly torn up. The 
marker showed us the last shot hole and the bullet had keyholed, 
going apparently end over end, as upon examination we found enough 
holes of the same description to correspond with the number of shots 
fired by me, proving conclusively that T had made the remarkable 
score of 20 out of 25 at 500yds. by ricocheting on the target. Now, I 
tell this so if anv brother riflemen have had a like experience I hope 
they will come forward and let us have the benefit of their experience.

Zettler Rifle Club. 
The bi-monthly shoot of the Zettler Club, at Wissel's Cypress Hills 
Park, on July 15, did not have its usual attendance; hot weather and 
the attraction of beach and mountain resorts brought the attendance 
down to the minimum. Ross distinguished himself by making three 
scores of 230 or better. The other members found it difficult to make 
their usual averages. The weather was clear and hot. 
The competition for the five prizes on the man target was decidedly 
hot and interesting, and resulted in a tie score of 57 between Ross 
Plaisted Holges, Engel and Krauss; this was somewhat of a disap- 
pointment to several of the members who felt sure of getting a 
division of the pot on scores of 54 and 55. The three best seres on 
the ring target were made by Ross. Plaisted was second and Engel 
third. Scores:
