The Sift. Class, Newport Races. 
For over a week the 21-footers have been enjoying some good racing 
off Newport, five of the fleet being towed there from the Sound, and the 
prizes being provided by different yachtsmen. The racing opened on 
Aug. IS with the first of two races for prizes offered by August Belmont, 
a silver cup for the winner in each race, with a pewter mug for the 
second, the last boat to fly a so-called "foolscap pennnant" until she 
won a higher place in a subsequent race. The competitors were Ade 
laide. W. P. Douglas; Dorothy, H. P. Whitney; Vaquero, H. B. Dur- 
yea; Houri, Butler Duncan, Jr. ; Celia, Charles A. Gould. All are Her- 
reshoff fin-keels. 
The race was from Bishop's Rock 3% miles to leeward and return, 
two rounds making 14 miles. There was a strong breeze and rough 
water. The times were:

The third race, for subscription prizes, the first of a series of three, 
was sailed on Aug. 91 in a fresh N.W. breeze, the course being a tri- 
angle lying between Brenton's Cove, Taylor's Cove and Bishop's Reck, 
two rounds making 13 miles. Houri sailed the race with a broken 
gaff, the jaws lashed to the mast. The times were:

Classification by Sailing Length. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I trust you will allow me the privilege of correcting in your columns 
the wrong impression likely to follow your reference in this week's 
issue of your paper, to the alleged change of policy of the New York 
Times regarding the classification of American yachts. You must 
have made your comments hastily or you would have placed the 
Times right by a reference to the change in the yachting editor of the 
paper, of which change you are fully advised. 
I had the honor of being yachting editor of the Times at the time 
that paper protested against a change of classification. The gentle- 
man who succeeded me evidently thinks our American system of 
classification should be abandoned, and up to date he offers no better 
argument than the fact that out of a lame fleet of boats, in an "off" 
year, several yachts should have raced together that didn't. -But 
permit me to say that althoueh the Times may appear to have 
changed front the reason for it somewhat takes the edge off the 
apparent victory of the "measurement cranks." The same thing 
applies to the Sun. With changes in the personality of the yachting 
editor it isnot so muchcauBe for rejoicing if a paper changes its policy 
as it would be if you could win over the best element in yachting, 
which you call the "conservative" element, to your Dlatform. 
You will perhaps remember that one of the arguments I used in the 
Times against the proposed change in 1889 was that the only ones 
who desired it were the members of the measurement committee, all 
of whom, I believe, were non-yacht owners. There is much of un- 
written history about the agitation in 1889 to come to light this winter 
in case the subject is seriously discussed again, and I trust I may 
again have the pleasure of saying a few words in praise of the "con- 
servative" element of the New York Y. C. George Card Pease.

Canoes and Canoe Yawls. 
We have a fair example now in England of the machine type, the 
Yankee, in which you cannot even stow or unstow a tobacco pouch 
when once you have got underway. However, as this peculiar craft 
is now at Salcombe at the B. C. A., we may expect to hear some more 
about her peculiar ways. Personally, we should say that, even if 
Yankee ever proves to be really a fast boat all round, wind, run and 
reach, her fitment drawbacks are so palpable that she and her type 
must always be thorns in the fair side of canoe sailing and cruising. 
A man on stilts may be able to see a little more of the country, but it 
is unpleasant if not dangerous walking. 
The meet at Salcombe of the B. C. A. may produce a race between 
Mr. Howard, the American, and Mr. Brand, as the latter has taken up 
the American's challenge, but at this time of writing no final arrange- 
ment of the course, date, or conditions have been arrived at. In any 
case, as said before, such a race is most unsatisfactory. It cannot in 
any way prove of any advantage to canoe sailing, nor to yawl sailing; 
the size and weight of the two crafts are so different that each must 
have her w.eather and water to do her best in, and they cannot be the 
same. No doubt, if the canoe were to win, a man might be found who 
would say it showed her superior speed. If a rating of 0.3 on a 30ia. 
beam of boat is capable through superior model to beat on open salt 
water a craft of 0.5-rating with 5ft. 6in. beam, then the universally 
accepted rules and tables of time allowance are unnecessary, and, in- 
deed, unfair upon the larger boats, and are a standing blemish on 
scientific yachting. There are often conditions of wind and water in 
which a small craft can sail past one six or eight times her rating and 
size; that is not effective or true speed, and hence the acknowledged 
necessity of classes and of keeping boats within their respective 
classes, and of doing away with all time allowances. 
The Dragon, the new canoe, which looked so likely, but went so 
Indifferently at Bourne End, is to be at Salcombe. She has undergone 
some alterations, and has new sails. Now, from Dragon sailing 
against Yankee on open and perhaps rough water we may learn 
something interesting, being canoes of a matchable size and type and 
very much of a match in extreme lightness of displacement.— Tfii}

Toronto C. C. Paddling Cup. 
The race for the Toronto C. C. paddling trophy on Aug. 25 was com- 
paratively uninteresting, the best of the Toronto paddlers, like Muntz 
and Johnson, being absent, only H. R. TiUey and R. O. King coming 
to the line to meet Clarence Euson of Springfield C. C. TiTley led at 
first, but dropped to third place and finally, in trying to change from 
a sitting to a standing position, capsized. Euson now took first place, 
winning by a length in 8m. 45s. 
The officers of the day were Geo. Wilkie, referee; Geo. Sparrow, 
starter; Col. J. Rogers, Peterborough, judge at finish, and T. D. Ellis 
and A. Shaw, timekeepers. 
CANOE NEWS NOTES. 
The annual regatta of the Holyoke and Redcliffe canoe clubs will be 
held as formerly on Labor Day at the Sans Souci course. An effort 
will be made to make the fifth anniversary of special interest alike to 
members and visitors. The Sans Souci Club has given the entire use 
of their house and grounds, which in themselves are well worth a 
visit, and the transportation thereto will be simpler than formerly. 
The steamer will not run from Holyoke, except one trip at 8:30 A.M., 
but will meet all trains at Smith's Ferry to convey visitora to the 
grounds. Light lunches can b« obtained at camp, thus avoiding the 
necessity of bringing them. The races commence at 10 A.M. and will 
contain several novel features, among them a tournament and a tug 
of war. All are cordially invited to be present. The regatta commit- 
tee consists of C. F. Schuster, L. H. Lamb, W. C. Brown, F. T. Harris. 
The programme includes a trophy sailing race, unlimited; standing 
paddling, tandem paddling, hurry-scurry, single paddling, hand pad- 
dling, kindergarten sailing (35sq ft.), upset, tournament, tug of war, 
club threes and ladies' race. 
The Arlington C. C. will hold its seventh annual regatta on Labor 
Day, the first race being called at 9:30 A. M. sharp. Tlie events will 
be open to all canoeists, 
Zettler Rifle Club. 
Cypress Hills Park, L. I.. Aug/27. — The famous Zettler Rifle Club 
brought its twenty-first annual festival and prize shoot to a successful 
close In this park this evening. For two days the park and shooting 
house have been crowded with members and friends. There were 
visiting riflemen from New England and from Baltimore. 
Fine shooting and high scores were the principal features of the two 
days' festival. 
The programme of cash prizes, aggregating 8700, brought out a 
large number of the local experts, whose expectations were mainly 
centered upon the hope that luck would abide with them this year. 
G. Homerighausen of Baltimore, one of the old-timers who has not 
been in New York since the hig festival in 1888, was present on both 
days. Harry M. Pope and Stephen J. Lyon of Connecticut were pres- 
ent on the second day. 
Nearly all of the prominent shooting societies in and about New 
York were represented either as guests or active participants in the 
struggle for prizes. 
The premiums for best five scores on the ring target and for the 
most flags on the bullseye target brought out a fine race between the 
experts at the close of the shoot. The four high men for the four best 
tickets were as follows: Fred 0. Ross 355, Henry Holges 353, Louis 
Flach 351, Harry M. Pope 351.
