FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 8, 1894. 
The Cape May Cup 
As events have shown, the much talked of "cowardly backdown" 
of Britannia has only kept her out of two drifting matches, the final 
races of the season, as her owner has accepted Vigilant's challenge 
for the Caps Maycup. The race is set for Wednesday, Sept. 5, and if 
Vigilant's sails are all right and her headstays stretched, and nothing 
goes wrong with her centerboard, it will probably be sailed on that 
date. The course is from off Alum Bay pier, Isle of Wight, out of the 
Needles passage to the western end of the Cherbourg Breakwater; 
thence to Cherbourg Roads out of the eastern end of the Breakwater, 
and back through the Needles channel to the starting line, a total dis- 
tance of about 123 miles. 
The start will be made at 8 A. M. and it is reported that it will be a 
time start, with an interval to cross in. instead of the regular one 
gun start. Vigilant reached Cowes on the afternoon of Sept. 3 after 
a hard passage from Dartmouth, being obliged to put into Portland 
Boads. The wind on TueBday promised a good race, with a reach both 
ways. 
As we go to press, after the above was in type, the Evening Sun 
publishes the following dispatch: 
Cowes, Sept. 4.— The Vigilant has met with another mishap, which 
may possibly prevent her starting in to-morrow's race with the Bri- 
tannia for the Cape May cup. 
On her passage from Portland to this plsce yesterday she reached a 
point inside the Needles, near Hathergood Point, at 1 o'clock 
A sudden shock was felt, indicating that Bhe had struck a rock or 
some other obstruction, and it was found that she had lost her center 
board. 
Howard Gould and Mr. Boyd, who were sitting at luncheon had a 
narrow escape from serious injury. 
As the boat struck, the crank flew from the centerboard winch and 
struck the corner of the table 'at which they were sitting with such 
force as to break off a large piece of the top. The cogs were torn 
from the windlas and the entire centerboard apparatus was generally 
disarranged. 
Capt. Haff is not certain that the boat struck, though he is not pre- 
pared to say that she did not. 
He thinks it possible to have the boat repaired in time to start in the 
race. 
If not he says he will race without the board. 
Examination shows that the casting broke, throwing all of the 
weight of the board upon the chain. 
Neither of the Goulds will be on board the Vigilant to-morrow, nor 
will the steam yacht Atalanta accompany the Vigilant, on account of 
a death in the family of the Messrs. Gould's mother. 
YACHT NEWS NOTES. 
The third of the series of races for the silver tea service offered by 
the boat owners of Master's boat house was sailed Saturday, Aug. 25 
in a strong S.W. breeze. Two 16ft. catboats competed. George Gar- 
dener's Syb and Why Not, owned by George Masters. 
The course was from the red buoy off Bridgeport Light to a stake- 
boat anchored about a mile and a half oft Black Rock light, twice 
around, making a distance of 14 miles. 
Syb's sails set badly, and she was handled in a very poor manner, 
reaching too far too far to windward on the last round. Why Not 
won by 9.45.

A Win for Mr. Howard. 
A match was sailed between the canoe Spruce (Mr. J. A. Brand) and 
the American canoe Yankee (Mr.W.Willard Howard) on Aug. 17, off 
Salcombe, the course being from the yacht Tina to a flagboat moored 
up the South Pool Creek, thence to the second quarantine buoy in the 
Widegates, and thence around the Tina, four times round, leaving all 
marks to port, 9 miles. 
The wind was very light and fluky, and the canoes started at 3 P. M. 
Just before the first gun Spruce shoved off from the Tina, and, as the 
flood tide was making she dropped to leeward fast, not having suf- 
ficient wind to stem the stream. This was an unfortunate beginning, 
because Yankee, launching from Mill Bay at about the same time, but 
further to windward, had just enough ground to travel to drift over 
the starting line lm. 32s after the second gun had gone. Spruce could 
not get over until 12m. 25s. had elapsed, by which time Yankee had 
picked up a following air, and disappeared up South Pool, thus obtain- 
ing a commanding lead, which she kept through the first round. The 
second round was uneventful, but at the conclusion of the third things 
became exciting. Spruce brought a bree; e down on Yankee and looked 
like forging ahead for the first period during the race, but Yankee, 
catching a light puff , drew away and cleverly sidled across the bows* 
of Tina and got away 13m. 31s. to the good on the last lap, and a tedi- 
ous race finished at: 
Yankee (winner) 6 58 26 Spruce ; ...7 08 22 
— The Field. 
[As stated last week, Spruce is a canoe-yawl of 5ft. 6in. beam, and 
the race, even if other than a fluke, would prove nothing one way or 
the other.] 
Wawbewawa War Canoe Association. 
The Wawbewawa War Canoe Association has already established a 
reputation in canoeing circles about Boston, sod it seems destined to 
soon become one of the leading canoe clubs of New England. Start- 
ing July last with but nine members, it now has a membership of 
nearly forty canoeists, all of whom are active paddlers, and much 
interested in the American Canoe Association 
On Saturday, Aug. 25, the Waltham C. C, of Waltham, Mass., 
held its annual regatta on the Charles River, in the presence of about 
3,000 spectators, and it was here that the Wawbewawas made their 
enviable record. They succeeded in winning first place in the war 
canoe, double blade decked canoe, single blade tandem canoe and 
tournament events, besides making the second place in several other 
races. There were twenty-one fine silver cups offered for first prizes, 
and the Wawbewawa boys captured fourteen of these as well as seven 
of the second prizes. The war canoe race proved to be the most inter- 
esting, as events of this kind have never been seen in the vicinity of 
Boston. The race was well contested from start to finish over a mile 
straightaway course. The Waltham, Arlington and Wawbewawa 
crews were all entered, and the latter crew again showed the results 
of careful training under the efficient command of Capt. Louis S. 
Drake by winning the race with several lengths to spare. The names 
and positions of the crew are as follows: F. J. Burrage stroke, Well- 
ington Wells No 2, R. D. Smith 3, M. X. Colon 4, J. W. Brown 5, C. R. 
Robertson 6, F. C. Perry 7, W. L. Perry 8, L. S. Lrake, Capt., 9. 
Golden Gate Rifles. 
San Francisco, Aug. 26.— Rifle notes from the Golden Gate are 
written this week in a temperature that astonishes old San Francis- 
coans. The TJ. S. Weather Bureau recorded to-day 92° la the shade. 
This, however, did not discourage sundry lunatics from "toteing" 
pistol and rifle to Shell Mound for the semi-monthly all-comers' con- 
tests of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
The honors fell to-day, with pistol, to Smith Carr, and with rifle to 
F. O. Young.

Ska Girt, N. J., Sept. 3.— The fourth annual meeting of the New 
Jersey State Rifle Association was opened this morning. Teams from 
the following States are in camp: Maine, Connecticut, New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and the District of Columbia. 
During the past two years great improvements have been made in the 
ranges and the buildings located on the grounds, a fine club house 
being one of the special features. The accommodations for the 
comfort and convenience of the militia men and visitors is all that 
could be desired. The shooting to-day has been confined to pool and 
continuous matches. All of the teams have been engaged in shooting 
over the various ranges from 200 to 600yds., thus giving the men an 
opportunity to get their rifles sighted and become somewhat accus- 
tomed to the range. The morning opened dull, with heavy clouds 
rolling in from the east, driven by a strong northeast gale. If the 
weather holds fair the meeting will develop the largest attendance 
since the range was opened. To-morrow (Tuesday) the Interstate and 
Hilton trophy matches will be shot off. On Wednesday the Regimen- 
tal team match (interstate) will be shot. This match is one of the 
most interesting features of the whole meeting to the public visitor. 
Ou Friday the President's and the Department of Rifle Practice 
matches will be shot. On Saturday comes the Wimbledon cup match 
and the wind up of continuous matches. Our next week's issue will 
contain a full account of the meeting. 
"Valley, Plain and Peak." 
This is the title of a little gem of a brochure recently issued by the 
Great Northern Railway Company, which is as unique in its design as 
it is delightful in its presentation. The letter press is concise and the 
embellishment profuse and charming. Step by step it carries the 
reader along its entire route from Buffalo to the Pacific by stages 
rapid and engaging, pointing out by full page cuts and tinted vignettes 
each salient feature of landscape and economic industry, enpassant, 
until he presently forgets that he is not an actual passenger, and that 
it is the panorama which moves. .Throughout the expansive game 
regions and stock ranges we have exquisite portraits of every animal 
listed on the sportsman's repertoire, with cowboys, Indians, dudes 
and summer girls thrown in; and accompanying each transition on 
the route is an enthusiastic quotation from pens of prominent visitors 
who have seen and admired the wonders and beauties of this magnifi- 
cent transcontinental line. Altogether it is a beautiful conception 
and suggestive of rich enjoyment and blooming health filling the de- 
sires of all who love to range afield. During September there are low 
round-trip rates from Duluth and St. Paul to prominent hunting re- 
sorts on the route.— Adv.
