FOREST AND STREAM. 
17 
time Mr. W. Baden-Powell, the officer in charge of the race, received a 
letter from Mr. Howard, the American competitor, which stated that 
"I hereby withdraw the New York C. C.'s challenge for the Royal C. 
C. cup. My reason is that the Bourne End course is not suitable for 
an international contest " 
The facts preceding this letter are, that the course and conditions 
were settled in February, and published shortly after in the Field, 
and in American papers. In April full details of conditions were 
fwmt at his request to Mr. Howard, and on April 16, a meeting of the 
New York C. C. was held, at which authority was vested in Mr. How- 
ard to challenge and compete on behalf of the club for the cup; but 
the Boyal C. C. received no notice nor any challenge until about May 
28. Subsequently Mr. Howard asked for three races to be put instead 
of one, and that two of them should be in open water, butthis request 
was only made within 14 days of the race, and a special general meet- 
ing could not, under the rules, be held in time; even then, had there 
been time, the meeting probably would not have power to alter the 
programme, and in any event the three race proposition was an after- 
thought following upon trial sailing on the Thames. 
Canoe sailers, at the time this challenge was brought before the 
club, had gone into canoe yawls and larger craft, but steps were at 
once taken to invite the assistance of those who were known to own 
racing canoes, even though of old pattern, to come forward to defend 
the cup, and in the result five men responded, one of whom built a 
new canoe, and another was nominated to represent the Northern 
C. 0., from the Tyne, a patriotic movement of our hardy Northern 
canoemen. 
The result has been a complete defense of the cup, without a com- 
petition by the American for the cup, it is true, but in the other circum- 
stances a Buccesslul defense. Mr. Howard was on the Bourne End 
course for three days prior to the cup race day, he competing in two 
of the R. C. C. races and he was beaten in each match. The course 
was the same as the cup course, but of Ave rounds instead of ten. 
In the first of these races he was 10m. 50s. astern of the leader when 
he gave up the competition, the winner and second being Battledore 
and Whizn. In the second race, on Monday, the 18th, Mr. Howard 
was beaten by 3m. by Battledore, ahd Dragon also came in ahead of 
him. Whizz, Stella and Curlew not competing. The entries for the 
challenge cup race were Battledore, Whizz, Stella, Dragon, Curlew 
and Yankee (Mr. Howard's canoe). 
Whether the Bourne End course is or is not suitable for an interna- 
tional contest is a matter of opinion which may be differently viewed 
by individuals; but in regard to this particular contest a general meet- 
ing of the Royal Canoe Club had adopted that particular course, and 
the American club had three months befere decided to challenge on 
those conditions, and (we assume), knowing the course, at least by 
map, if not by individual exyerience. The same course, it should be 
remembered, is used annually for the racing week of the whole of the 
"above lock" sailing clubs of the Thames for l-rat«r and 75-rater rac- 
ing, and on this course Her Majesty's cup and the Duke of Connaught's 
cup are to be competed for. These clubs have naturally of their 
experience chosen the best sailing reach "above lock" for such import- 
ant races. 
Wei have from time to time objected in these columns to the sailing 
races of the Royal Canoe Club being held on the upper Thames for 
several reasons— not because they cannot there be efficiently held, but 
that for a canoe so much depends on the direction of wind being up or 
down the reach and not across the banks. On the cup day all was 
well; the wind was right down, giving a trial to windward, and a run, 
and it only wanted strength to make a perfect day. Nobody with any 
notions above a sprinting track wants to see a race sailed on a 
soldier's wind, all reaching. The real objection to the upper reaches 
fa that racing on the "above-lock" reaches of the Thames, or of, any 
other river, tends to produce a bad type of boat — a flimsy, capsizeable 
craft, useless both in hull and fittings for any work other than such 
racing; indeed, not only useless, but absolutely dangerous. And, 
t herefore, if the important races of a club are placed upon such con- 
fined waters, competitors must bow to the inevitable, and build boats 
suitably crank and flimsy to uphold the honor of the club. 
Royal C. C. 
The sailing races of the club at Bourne End were to have commenced 
on Saturday last with a race for canoe-yawls, but at the time set down 
for the start there was almost a fiat calm, and the event was post- 
poned until the following Tuesday. 
On Monday the first event was for sailing canoes, and they were 
started at 11 A. M. The entries were: Battledore, Mr. R. A. Hinckley, 
R. C. C; Whizz, Mr. Walter Stuart, R. C C; Dragon, Mr. B. de Q. 
Quincy. R. C. C; Yankee, Mr. W. Millard Howard, New York C. C. 
Wind S.W., modern to light. Whizz and Battledore crossed the line 
together, the former to windward, while the American made a bad 
start. Whizz drew out a slight lead, while Dragon and Battledore 
were having a ding-dong race. In jibing around the lower buoy 
Dragon capsized. Battledore and Whizz continued to sail a very 
close and interesting race, while Yankee kept dropping further astern 
arid gave up at the end of the fourth round. Whizz led until within 
70yds. of the winning line, when Battledore coming down with a light 
catspaw, covered her and won cleverly by lis. The times were: 
1st Round.2d Round. 3d Round.4th Round. Finish.

being over first, followed by Dragon, Bernice and Worry. Yankee and 
Curlew being nearly a minute late in crossing the line. The wind was 
light and variable, which did not seem to at all suit the American.

A Pretty Mess. 
With no intention of embarrassing our genial executive, with whom 
the writer has always sustained the pleasantest relations, I cannot 
but protest against the sweeping changes which have only been de- 
cided upon on the eve of the approaching meet; however, that meet 
ir now so near at hand that we will soon be able to determine whether 
the proposed changes are such as are worthy of retention or should 
be relegated to the limbo of discarded experiments. 
The most radical change we will encounter will be the abolition of 
the general mess, heretofore one of the finest features of the camp, as 
it was at once the casino and common meeting ground of all those 
elements that go to form a camp. It was there that one chose his 
messmates by natural affinity, while the grub settled the question of 
the survival of the fittest. There, too, the diffident formed those 
valued acquaintances, otherwise impossible to him; and if at times 
the table fell short of our ideal, the many offsetting advantages of- 
fered enabled us to disregard these minor discomforts. 
The tone of the general mess has always been broadly democratic 
and the influence it has exerted in the past has been all powerful in 
breaking up unhealthy club rivalries, cliques and those petty inter- 
national prejudices which are bound to crop out from time to time. 
After an absence of several years, a member under the old arrange- 
ment could drop into camp with the reasonable assurance of a warm 
welcome and the comforting knowledge that he might for a moderate 
sum procure his meals at the mess-shed without inconveniencing any 
one. 
Will he do so in future when he learns that he must hang about 
camp until some compassionate individual bids him join his mess— a 
mess perhaps already overcrowded? I think not. 
I can call to mind many members living in small places which cannot 
boast a eaDoe club, or where one exists, sends but one or two members 
to camp. Now, it seems to me that the loss of the mess means the 
loss of many of these members as well. Now, while I do not for a 
moment question a club's right to a private mess. I do question the 
wisdom of this innovation, which strikes directly at the smaller clubs 
and at the unattached members. The measure, while it doubtless 
lightens the labors and responsibilities of theexecutive to a minimum, 
seems to be a retrograde step, and one that will work more harm to 
the Association than anything of which I can conceive, with the pos- 
sible exception of a permanent camp. 
While all must admit that this question of a general mess is a diffi- 
cult one to handle, they must also admit that it is a prime requisite to 
a successful camp, ana that the present plan of boldly lopping it off is 
no solution of the difficulty, but rather a weak evasion of it, where a 
half -success or a well intended failure would have been infinitely better. 
This effort to secure a good balance sheet for next year's book reminds 
one of the policy of those hospitals which hurry the moribund off to 
Bellevue in order to keep their percentage of mortality down— better 
double or treble the camp fee— better hold the meet every two years, 
but when you do hold it, hold it right. 
The private messes have little to recommend them aside from their 
privacy, and that feature win he largely curtailed thiB year, when all 
mess tents whose mess includes ladies will be bunched at head- 
quarters. When you consider the unnecessary duplication of tents, 
help and utensils, the private mess muBt be pronounced wasteful, and 
it is no trifling matter to cater to one on account of the varying 
number to be fed, and that is why tho private mess so often presents 
the condition of a feast or a famine. The percentage of variation 
never affects a large mess as it does a small one, for an unexpected 
half dozen will set the small menage by the ears, while six times that 
number would not seriously embarrass a larger one. 
Then there is the increased number of cooks and helpers to be con- 
sidered, and the question arises whether their presence will promote 
the cause of order in camp, And last of all the work and worry of a 
general mess is now entirely borne by a single individual, while under 
the new arrangement there -would be at least thirty people acting as 
unpaid caterers and needlessly undergoing the drudgery that that po- 
sition entails, while in camp ostensibly for Test. In the above I have 
not intended to criticise the real camper who delights in cooking his 
own m^als, and in roughing it, but from what I know of modern 
camps I cannot believe that they will prove congenial to him, because 
they have been all but improved out of existence. Oh, yes, we are 
rustic, sylvan and bucolic til) you can't rest, but it is the rusticity of 
Watteau's shepherds and shepherdesses. 
I should like to see some member attempt to run a public mess in 
camp, if for nothing more than to prove how indispensable a restau- 
rant is when you pitch your camp in a wilderness and invite people to 
visit you— people unfortunately possessing unreasonable stomachs 
that will not be put off with a promise, or a written order.

Mr. Howard's Canoe. 
Clatton, June 29— Editor Forest and Stream: In your issue of 
June 30, in an article on "International Canoe Racing," and Mr. W. 
W. Howard's challenge for the Royal C. C. challenge cup, yoxi quote 
the Model YachUman and Canoeist as stating that "We further 
understand that a new canoe has been built for him (Mr. W. W. 
Howard) by the St. Lawrence Skiff Co., a sufficient recommendation 
without saying anything further, and that in addition to being, as we 
might expect It, quite up to date she will bo fitted with a 7ft. slide." 
While we much appreciate the Model Yachtsman and Canoeist's 
compliment, we wiBh to correct, through your columns, its uninten- 
tional error. We must plead "not guilty" to having had any part 
whatever in the production or building of Mr. Howard's canoe in 
question. J. G. Eraser, Manager, 
St. Lawrence River Sltiff , Canoe and Steam Launch Co. 
[The canoe in question was built by a former employee of the St. 
Lawrence Co. We understand that she resembles the Gardner 
designs, from which the St. Lawrence have built for several years, 
though, of course, much smaller and less powerful.] 
Greenville vs. Excelsior. 
On Thursday night of last week the Excelsior Rifle Club, of Jersey 
City, dedicated its new T club house and gallery ranges at No. 54 Gregory 
street. 
A ten men team match between the home club and the Greenville 
Rifle Club, was one of the interesting features of the programme. 
Among those present were the Mayor of Jersey City, P. F. Wanser, 
Chief of Police Murphy and Capt. Farrier. Among the other promt 
nent local celebrities present were Robt. McDonald, Henry Albros 
John Hill, Enoch Smith, John Brennan and others From Newark 
there was George Wiegman and a number of Essex county riflemen 
Chas. G. Zettler brought along a delegation from New York. The in 
terior of the club house was elaborately decorated for the occasion 
A generous lunch and liquid refreshments to suit all tastes was fur 
nished in abundance. While the team match was in progress local 
artists entertained the assemblage with recitations, songs, etc. 
A local tradesman with an eye to future returns sent an employe 
into the rooms during the hot period loaded with fans. His thought- 
fulness was voted as being of the first order. 
President Thos Hughes, George Varick, Capt. Hansen and other 
members of the Excelsior Club were active in looking after the com 
fort of their guests. 
The contesting riflemen who were shooting and perspiring on the 
four ranges found that the extreme heat was not conducive to high 
scores. The members of neither team shot up to their average. T. 
members of the Greenville team suffered the least in this respect and 
were thus in position to outshoot their opponents. Scores, 10 shots 
per man, German target, distance 75ft.:

Testing a Revolver. 
A year, ago Roundsman Petty had an attack of the measles, and as 
a result has trouble with his eyes. One day last week he visited the 
Eye and Ear Hospital at Forty-second street and Park avenue for 
treatment, and afterward, as was natural for a shooting man, dropped 
into Conlin's gallery. 
While there two strangers, one of them a Frenchman, entered. 
They carried with them a new model .38cal. Colt's revolver and a box 
of factory cartridges, which they proceeded to test at 12yds. range. 
The target at which they shot had a 2in. bull, and was about lj^ft. in 
diameter, but the first man could not find it at all. After shooting a 
string he relinquished the pistol to the Frenchman, who, as the specta- 
tors already knew, was a dark horse, and none other than the "champion 
revolver shot of the French Army." The "champion" modestly took 
the pistol and, handling it with irreproachable style, fired and missed 
the target. Not in the least disconcerted, he fired again, with a simi- 
lar result. He repeated this performance a numher of times, and at 
last, apparently by luck, got a shot on one corner of the target. Then 
he stopped, satisfied, sat down, and gracefully awaited the applause. 
"Buff" Rosenbaum, who had been an amused spectator, asked per- 
mission to examine the revolver, and then if there was any objection 
to a friend of his trying a few shots. The Frenchman had none, and 
Rosenbaum handed the revolver to Petty. 
After his first shot Petty found that the gun was not correctly 
sighted, but that it shot low and to the left. He accordingly aimed 
high and to the right, and had the satisfaction of seeing his shots 
group well up toward the bull. This excited the admiration of the 
Frenchman, but the holder of the Winans trophy had only just beeuu. 
Reloading the revolver he commenced a new string The first shot 
%in. from the bull at 9 o'clock. The next he held a trifle further to 
the right and scored a dead center/and the remaining shots were all 
grouped together in the bullseye. Three of them were 10s. 
The "champion of the French Army" was overwhelmed, and begged 
for the target ss a souvenir. As he left Conlin remarked, senten- 
tiously, "A pistol shoots straight according to the man that shoots 
it." J. B. B. 
The Time Element in Rifle Shooting. 
Too much can not be said in favor of the very radical innovation 
suggested by Mr. Wm. Lyman in a recent issue of this paper, in the 
shape of adding a time element to rifle-shooting; it has been too long 
neglected, and I for one am glad to see so high an authority as Mr. 
Lyman advocating the measure, and hope to see as a result an 
awakening of interest in that line. The shotgun would not be as 
popular to-day as it is if it had not been for trap-shooting, and it will 
not be many years before a time element will be introduced in this 
kind of shooting; just as soon as those who are now shooting at the 
traps know what they are now missing by not using a repeating shot- 
gun and breaking triplets where they now only attempt doubles, just 
so soon will the tide of popularity swing around toward the repeat- 
ing shotgun, and if those who love the rifle could only be persuaded 
that in the repeating rifle they have an ever increasing source of 
pleasure, as well as a practical method of preparing themselves for 
field shooting, it may be possible to make rifle shooting what it should 
be, the sport of the century. 
Inanimate target shooting has sett'ed several problems, notably the 
superiority of breechloader over the muzzleloader, and is at present 
doing yeoman service in showing the manufacturers of nitro powders 
where to make improvements; it is not saying too much to claim that 
rapid-firing with the rifle would also settle some questions of vital im- 
portance and among other things, perhaps, give us a perfect nitro 
powder for that weapon a decade or so before it will come under 
present conditions. The same element is a necessity in revolver shoot- 
ing, and until adopted tb&t sort, Of shooting will not attain the 
popularity it deserves. a g. J, Fort, M..D.

Greenville Defeats Portchester. 
A team: of eight members of the Greenville (N. J.) Rifle Club visited 
Portchester, N. Y.. last Saturday to shoot a friendly match with the 
Portchester Rifle Club. Iti the preliminary practice the Jersey marks- 
men found the situation a little odd. The two targets out there in the 
field looked to be awfully far away. As Robidoux remarked the whole 
universe was in front. Would he be able to hit the bullseye! His 
score showed 7 blacks in the 10 shots. The conditions called for 10 
shots per man. Horn led off for the Portchesters and Plaisted for the 
Greenvilles, the members of the teamR following in rotation. The 
first round showed that the visitors were in the best form. On the 
second round, however. Collins of the Greenvilles missed the target, 
scoring a goose egg, Hess of the Portchester team was the next un- 
fortunate to li'iss the target, his turn came on the third round. On 
the sixth round Spahn of the Greenville team fired a shot into space, 
result, another goose egg. Then as a matter of courtesy to Spahn, 
Hess let drop another egg and then followed it with another, making 
3 misses in 10 shots. Spahn. who is a sympathetic nature, could do 
no less than make another miss on his ninth shot, thus tieing Hess on 
the number of misses as well as on the total, each having 122. The 
best individual score was made by Smith of the Portchester team; the 
second best by Plaisted of the Greenville team. The shooting of both 
teams was considerably below what was expected before the match 
was opened. There are, however, many reasons for the poor marks- 
manship displayed. Torrid weather and Portchester hospitality fixed 
the .Terseymen. The Portchesters came through sympathy. The 
total of the Greenville score was 1,396 against 1,364 for Portchester. 
A return match to be Bhot in Greenville was arranged and will be 
shot off in three weeks. The members of the Greenville team are 
highly pleased with the hospitalities extended to them by their Port- 
chester brethrpn and have promised to give the New Yorkers, on their 
next visit to the Celery District, one of the regular Greenvile recep- 
tions, all wool aDd a yard wide. • Scores, 10 shots. German target:

Zettler Rifle Club. 
The bi-monthly shoot of the Zettler Club was held at Wissel's 
Cypress Hills Park on July 1. The Weather was fine, hut decidedly 
hot for comfort. Nine members entered the competition. 
The extreme heat must have affected the markers at the butts, for 
the marking was the poorest and most erratic of any ever seen there 
before. Max Engel got so thoroughly vexed over the erratic marking 
that he surprised himself and his comrades by putting up the fine 
score of 226. B. Zettler dropped in with a score of 222. The man 
target brought out a lively competition for the five prizes. Ross 
dropped into first place with 59. Plaisted, Schmidt and Walther tied 
for second for second place with 55 each, Engel and Holges 54 each.

Revolver Shooting in England. 
There has not been much doing in the revolver-shooting world the 
last few weeks, as the gayetiesof the London season are now in full 
swing and the weather has been so wet and windy that there has been 
no inducement to compete at the revolver clubs. The leading scores
