We have received a copy of the mid-summer number of the Yacht- 
ing World, the new English yachting weekly, this first essay being 
quite a large magazine in a handsome illuminated cover. It contains 
a number of sea stories by Clark Russell and others, -with a history 
and description of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and also biographies of 
Mr. Watson and Lord Dunraven, designer and owner of Valkyrie. The 
number is very fully illustrated, the text including many good half- 
tone pictures of new yachts, while there are six supplemental plates, 
with portraits of Messrs. George and Howard Gould and Lord Dun- 
raven, also Vigilant and Valkyrie, and two reproductions from paint- 
ings of yachting scenes by Barlow Moore. Apart from the stories, 
the pictures alone are well worth preserving. 
Since his departure for Europe early in the summer nothing has 
been said of Gen, Paine's whereabouts, but he has been reported 
lately in Glasgow, the guest of Mr. James Bell, head of the Thistle 
syndicate. Jubilee was hauled out last week for the winter at Mcln- 
tyre's yard, Quincy. 
The Sewaren Land and Water Club now owns a handsome club 
house, dock and float at Sewaren, New Jersey, on the shores of Staten 
Island Sound, and only 45 minutes from New i'ork city and the offices 
of its members. 
Lasca and Fleur de Lys, schooners, have both laid up at South- 
ampton for the winter, 
"Investigator" will oblige by sending his address. 
FIXTURES. 
SEPTEMBER. 
15. Red Dragon, Fall Regatta, Delaware River. 
Wabewawa War Canoe Association. 
The sixth annual fall championship regatta of the New England 
Amateur Rowing Association was held on the Charles River, Boston, 
on Labor Day in the presence of over 10,000 people, and the Wabe- 
wawas were again successful in capturing the war canoe trophies. 
The city of Boston had appropriated $500, which, together with $500 
from the association's treasury, was expended for the prizes; and it is 
needless to say that thev were well worth the rigid training necessary 
to obtain possession of tbem. 
The Wabewawa War Canoe Association had entered two strong 
crews and the Boston public had an excellent opportunity to witness 
the skillful paddling of this new and prosperous organization. The 
senior crew won quite handily and the junior crew gave the Waltham 
boys a great race for second position. 
The prizes consisted of nine large loving cups, together with an 
elegant silk bauner suitably embroidered, valued at $135, and the boys 
are extremely happy over their great victory. 
Capt. Drake's crew, that was so ably commanded, consists of the 
following paddlers: F. J. Burrage stroke. Wellington Wells No. 2, 
Rodger D. Smith No. 3. M. X. Colon No. 4, R. A. Ballou, Jr., No. 5, 0. 
R Robertson No 6, F. C. Perry No. 7, W. L. Perry No. 8, Louis S. 
Drake, captain, No. 9. 
There have been three war canoe races in New England this season, 
and the Wabewawa has been the winning boat in each regatta. For 
this reason the members of the association feel very proud of their 
25ft. craft, which is but one year old and holds two New England 
championships already. Altogether the future of the Wabewawa 
War Canoe Association seems to be extremely bright.

SEA GIRT. 
New Jersey State Rifle Association Annual Meeting. 
Not since the days when Creedmoor was in its prime has there been 
si' cb a successful meeting as was held last week on the New Jersey 
State range at Sea Girt 
In some respects the meeting at Sea Girt excels Creedmoor in the 
fact that the entries in tbe Interstate and Hilton trophy matches this 
year exceed any entry ever made at Creedmoor. When New Jersey 
withdrew its support from the old Brinton range at Elizabeth in 1884 
and opened the new range at Sea Girt, rifle interests received, as it 
seemed at tbe time, a black eye, but it looks now as though it was 
the elevation of r he rifle in the State. At any rate, the camp ground 
and range, at Sea Girt has developed one of the finest and most com- 
plete in all its appointments to be found in America. 
Gov. Greene was one of the first State executives to take an active 
interest in building up the range, and added much to his popularity 
by bis zeal in procuring legislative enactments in the interests of the 
State militia and the new range. Gov. Abbett, who succeeded Gov. 
Greene, and Geo. T. Werts, the present executive, have taken great 
interest in forwarding the interests of the State militia, and the 
result is New Jersey's militia is in a most flourishing condition. 
Outside of the influence of the State executives mentioned there 
is another who has, by his active zeal, done much to place the State 
militia on its present footing. We refer to Gen. Bird W. Spencer, In- 
spector-General of Rifle Practice. Gen. Spencer is an enthusiast on 
military training, and many of the individual members of the State 
militia owe whatever success they have achieved to the personal at- 
tention given to them by Gen. Spencer. Among the other members of 
the staff who were prominent for their interest in promoting the in- 
terests of militia maybe mentioned Gen. James M. Van Valen, Hen. 
E. P. Meaney, Col. John C. Owens, Col. John T. Van Cleef. Col. Wm. 
F Decker, Col. A. R. Kuser, Capt. DeLancey G, Walker and others. 
The range superintendent, Capt. James L. Bodwell, who was promi- 
nent in years gone by as the superintendent of the Brinton range, has 
been in charge of the Sea Girt range since it was opened in 1884; the 
practical knowledge of Capt. Bodwell in range matters has been a fac- 
tor in adding to the range the completeness which is to be found in all 
the appurtenances which go to make up a perfect range. 
The opening day, Monday the 3d, was devoted to pool and continu- 
ous matches preparatory to the more serious work of the morrow, 
which included the Interstate and Hilton Trophy matches. 
On Tuesday morning the camp was astir at an early hour and as 
soon as the breakfast was over the militiamen began to gather at the 
firing point of the 200 and 500yds. ranges, where an hour was devoted 
to practice and pool shooting. Tbe conditions of the Inter-State Mil- 
itary match were as follows: Open to teams from each State and 
Territory in the United States, consisting of twelve members of the 
regularly organized and uniformed National Guard or militia of such 
State or Territory, including the District of Columbia. Distance 200 
and 500yds., position at 200yds. standing; at 500 yds. prone. Weapon, 
any military rifle which has been adopted, authorized or issued as an 
official arm by any state or government. Ammunition any- Prize. — 
To the team making the highest aggregate score, a large bronze 
"Soldier of Marathon," presented by the Commander-in-Chief, on be- 
half of the State of New York to be shot for annually, and to be held 
during the year by the Adjutant-General of the State whose team may 
win it; value $350. Also a medal to each member of the team. The 
trophy was won last year (i893) by the District of Columbia team. 
When the hour arrived for opening the Interstate match six teams 
were on hand to participate, viz., Maine, New York, New Jersey, 
Pennsylvania, District of Columbia and Georgia. 
Seven teams were entered for the Interstate and Hilton, and the 
members of most the teams were on the ground on Monday, in fact 
some of the teams had been in the camp for several days previous. 
Maine was represented with 12 men. The New York team came down 
Monday night; New Jersey had her team on the ground: Pennsyl- 
vania, District of Columbia and Georgia were also represented by 
strong teams. 
The weather which had been threatening rain for 48 hours previous 
cleared away in a measure, giving a good gray light, the wind blowing 
lightly from 9 to 11 o'clock. Inspector General W. Choate, of the 
Maine team, was the first man to open the' ball at the 200-yard point, 
scoring a bullseye. This shot was followed by a general fusilade up 
and down the line, and the Interstate match for 1894 was in full blast. 
There were no exceptionally high scores made at the 200-yard point. 
The highest individual score 46. was made by J. J. Montjoy, of the 
Pennsyiyania team and Capt. C. A. Reed, of the New Jersey team ; 
when the 200 yard stage was finished, it was found that the New 
Jersey team was in the lead with a total of 506 points. Maine and 
Pennsylvania were a tie for second place with scores of 504 each; 
District of Columbia team was fourth with 503; Georgia fifth and New 
York sixth. 
At the 500-yard point the competing militiamen began to hunt the 
bullseye at a great, rate, the first squad of the New Jersey and District 
of Columbia team in particular doing some fine work Col. A. R. 
Kuser. of New Jersev making 49, and Sergt. C. W. Dickey, of the Dis- 
trict team making 47. The competition between New York, New 
Jersey, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia teams was quite 
close at 500yds , the scores of these teams at this distance are as fol- 
lows: New Jersey 538, Pennsylvania 532, New York 530, District of 
Columbia 527. The total scores of the two distances gave New Jersey 
1044 points and the winner of the interstate match. Pennsylvania was 
second with 1036. The Connecticut team which was entered for the 
Interstate did not participate on account of all of the team not ap- 
pearing on the ground.

RECAPITULATION. 
New Jersey 1044 Dist of Columbia.. 1030 Maine 1006 
Pennsylvania 1036 New York 1020 Georgia 1003 
Hilton Trophy match, open to teams of twelve from the United 
States of America. A. The army of the United States, one team from 
the troops stationed within eachof the three military divisions — Atlan- 
tic, Pacific and Missouri (three teams in all). B The United States 
Navy (one team). C. The National Guard or uniformed militia of the 
several States and Territories, including the District of Columbia (one 
from each State or Territory). The match was also open to teams 
from forei?n countries. Distances, 200, 500 and 600yds. Rounds, 7 
at each distance. Weapons, any military which has been adopted, 
authorized or issued as an official arm by any State or government. 
Prize, a trophy presented by Hon. Henry Hilton of New York to be 
shot for annually at Creedmoor or such other range as the National 
Rifle Association of America shall select, to be held during the year by 
the head of the corps or organization whose team may win it. to be 
returned to the N. R. A. at the expiration thereof; value $3,000 Also 
a medal to each member of the winning team. With the Interstate dis- 
posed of next came the Hilton; the fact that the contest for the Inter- 
state had developed a close race between four of the leading teams 
caused a decided sensation among the militiamen and the visitors who 
were on the range as to which would be the winner in the coming 
match. The captains and members of four of the teams felt that they 
had an even chance in the contest, so when the first stage was opened 
at 200yds. every contestant was tuned up to the highest tension. 
The success of the New Jersey team in the previous match seemed 
to have added steadiness to its members, and while none of them put 
up full scores the general average was so high that when the 200yds. 
stage was finished it was found that the New Jersey team had broken 
the record for all previous matches at this distance, with a score of 
367. The best previous score was made by Massachusetts, 364, in 1884, 
and District of Columbia 364 in 1883. The men of the New Jersey 
team now felt that their prospects for adding the Hilton trophy to the 
Interstate was good. The New Yorkers and the Pennsylvania's, how- 
ever, were hard after the Jerseymen, the Pennsylvania team being 
only 4 points behind and the New York team 8 points. 
At the 500yds. point the shooting was fine and many good scores 
were made Sergt. R. Watkins, of tbe Pennsylvania team, made a 
full score of 35 points; three other members. Pvt. J. W. Burns, Sergt. 
H. J. Mehard and Pvt. T. F. Shonert each made 34. Eleven of the 
twelve men in the team made 30 or better, the exception was Pvt. G. 
W. Stout, who had 28 with a miss in his scores. The total for the 
team was 381. The District of Columbia team shot in fine form in 
this stage and rolled up a total of 373 points. 
The finish of the second stage now showed a decided change in the 
relative positions of the leading teams. The Pennsylvania team was 
now leading by 13 points with a total of 744, the District of Columbia 
team was second with 731, New Jersey was third with 726, Some of 
the members of the latter team took a decided drop in the last stage 
and the possibilities of the Hilltou trophy remaining in New Jersey 
were decidedly uncertain. The day was getting well on towards even- 
ing and the light poor. With the opening of the third and last stage 
tbe shooting showed a decided falling off in the general average of the 
competing teams. The New Jersey team fell back to sixth place at 
600, its total for this distance being only 324, Pennsylvania and Dis- 
trict of Columbia run so close that the winning team could not be 
designated until the last shot was in the target.. The two last men of 
the Pennsylvania team shot in fine form considering the existing con- 
ditions, each making 31. The District made a good fleht but the fates 
were against them although they beat the Pennsylvanias on the last, 
stage of points it was not quite enough to win. Pennsylvania closed 
the match w'th a lead of six points with a total of 1088. against 1082 
for the District of Columbia team.

REGIMENTAL TEAM MATCH (INTERSTATE). 
Open to teams of six from the regimental, battalion and separate 
company organizations of the national guard of the United States or 
of the U.S. army. Won in 1891, 1892 and 1893 by D. C. N. G. The 
weather Wednesday was cool and cloudy, with light, winds blowing 
from 9 to 11 o'clock. At the 200yds. range the shooting was only 
ordinary, 44 being the highest individual score at this distance, made 
by Chapman and Oookson of the 2d Maine, and Cook, of the Engineer 
Corps, D, C. The best team total at this distance was made by the 
1st Maine team with a score of 256. Troop A, of Georgia, was second 
with 251. The shooting of these two teams was somewhat of a sur- 
prise to the other contestants, for they had looked upon the "Yankees" 
and "Crackers" as not being in it at any stage. Georgia and Maine 
have taken but little interest in developing the shooting ability of their 
national guard, and whatever success has been achieved seems to be 
due to the efforts of the individual members 
When the teams went back to the 500yds. point it was expected that a 
higher average would be made by those States which have given more 
attention to the developmenfof tbeir troops. It was conceded that 
the Engineer Corps of the District of Columbia would come out of the 
contest first, with Pennsylvania ani New Jersey close behind. When 
the last shot was in the target and the scores footed ud it was found 
that the Engineer Corps team was ahead as expected with a score of 
209. The second Regiment of Maine was second with 260, and Troop 
A of Georgia third with 253. 
The best individual scores were made by Corp. R. P. Carleton. of the 
Engineer Corps, with 48; Corp. E. A. Guptill, 2d Maine. 47, and Lieut. 
G. Kemp, 3d Pennsylvania, 47. The total for the two ranges gave the 
Engineer Corps, District of Columbia, first place with a total of 514. 
The 1st Maine team second with 507, Troop A, of Georgia, third with 
502. This closed the first stage of the Interstate regimental match, the 
second stage was to be shot to-morrow (Thursday). The conditions 
called for two skirmish runs of 20 shots each. 
The fact that five of the teams were close together in their totals for 
the first stage of the match, there being only 15 points difference be- 
tween the first and fifth, caused a decided feeling of interest as to the 
final results on Thursday.
