MONUMENT BEACH— BUZZARD'S BAT. 
Saturday, Sept. IS. 
The third championship for Buzzard's Bay and the 218th race wag 
sailed off Monument Beach Saturday, Sept. 15, in a strong reefing 
sou'wester. 
The sloops Chappaquoit and Isem had made a match of $100 a side 
to he sailed the same day, and as part of the race they were to start 
off Pines Buoy and finish at the usual place off Toby Island, course 
being a dead beat to West Island and return, 23)4 miles. 
The day opened with a strong southerly wind, shifting to S.W., a 
pouring rain and a heavy sea. The sloops were started at 11 A. M., 
both having housed topmasts and Chappaquoit having in two reefs. 
They sailed a close race and finished under spinakers and ballooners. 
Isem has not been officially measured, but her building length Is 
30ft. 6in. 
Second class sailed the usual 10J4 mile course and made a very pretty 
race; Gynmote jumped off with the lead, and as far as Abiels Ledge 
looked a winner, when she seemed to get tired and Linotte and Bernice 
who had started last seemed to take on new life and went by her. 
In fourth class sloops it is a pity that none of the knockabouts were 
on hand. It is claimed that in a breeze and sea they can beat Grilse, 
and this was a chance lost. Every boat in the race except Isem, 
Anonyma, Grilse, Fin and possibly Dawdle started reefed, many of 
them having two or more. Fid shook out reefs before the Start, but 
could not carry her sail. Grilse carried whole sail well and at end of 
first round led Fin 7m. 40s. She was rapidly increasing this lead in 
second round when Fin retired. 
Dawdle lead easily in fourth class cats, but spoiled race by sailing 
wrong: course. She left her race circular behind her annd Sailed fifth 
class course. Course for first, third and fourth classes 8J4 miles, for 
fifth class, 5 miles. The rain stopped before the regular race started.

New York Y. C. Autumn Sweepstakes. 
NEW YORK — OUTSIDE COURSE. 
Tuesday, Sept. 18. 
The New Vork V. C. closed its racing on Sept. 18 with a sweepstakes 
race for schooners and singlestickers, a class for each rip;, the prizes 
being the sweepstakes, $50 per yacht, with a $200 cup added by the 
club for a first in the schooner class, a $100 cup for second, and a $100 
cup for the cutters. The starters were:

. The tug Walter A. Luckenbach carried the race committee. Messrs. 
Chester Griswold, W. Butler Duncan, Jr., and Secretary J.V. S. Oddie, 
the latter two serving in place of the regular members, Messrs. Kane 
and Grinnell. There were also a number of club members as specta- 
tors. The day was far from pleasant, a driving N.E. storm prevailing, 
but there was a strong working breeze, making a good race between 
the two principal boats, Ariel and Emerald. The course was a triangle 
of 10 mile sides, starting from the Scotland Lightship, the first leg, 
due east, being to windward, Supt. Olsen in a second tug setting a 
mark buoy. The start was given at 11 :32, the interval being but 2m. 
Wasp went over first on starboard tack on the weather end of the 
line, Queen Mab following, and berthing herself on Wasp's weather 
quarter. The schooners were started at 11:35, the times of the start 
being: Wasp 11:34:15, Queen Mab 11:34:48, Ariel 11:35:33, Emerald 
11:36:39, Shamrock 11:37:02, Elsemarie 11:37:50. 
- All crossed on the port tack, but at once swung about and headed in 
for the Long Island shore, in the wake of Wasp. Some time was lost 
on the tug in getting the anchor, and the racers were lost in the mist. 
When they were again picked up, Queen Mab was sailing alone, Wasp, 
as it proved, having lost her bowspsit and towed in. Emerald was 
lending, but with Ariel in hot chase, so close as they neared the mark 
that, having the winning tack, Emerald was forced to give way for 
her. Ariel, however, was a little slow in tacking, and failed to blanket 
the other as they turned. The times at the first mark were:

Clubtopsails were set over jibheaders on the last leg, and spinakers 
filled for a time, as well as balloon jibtopsails, but toward the end the 
studding sails were taken in. The finish was most exciting, Emerald 
crossing a little over 3m. ahead of Ariel, or so near to the allowance 
that the result was not known to those on board either yacht. The 
final figures made Einerald a winner by but 14s, The full times were:

The Sailboat and The Horse. 
From the New York Times. 
At a summer resort not far from New Vork a debating society, 
composed of citizens calling themselves Afro-Americans, recently dis- 
eased the important question, "Which is the more dangerous animal, 
a horse or a sailboat?" Undoubtedly this question was suggested by 
the accidents which have happened recently and not by the pecuniary 
disasters which accompany racing on either land or water. There is 
no doubt that men lose money in betting on yacht races, but still no 
one has yet been ruined by playing the sailboats. The question is 
often asked in all seriousness, and it certainly is worthy of discussion. 
It is greatly to be regretted that, owing to the president's having left 
his razor at home, it was not decided at the Afro- American meeting. 
No doubt, if it were left to a popular vote, the decision would be in 
favor of the horse. This, however, w'ould not be a fair decision, be- 
cause the majority of people have at least a street-car acquaintance 
with horses, while their knowledge of sailboats is wholly gained from 
the casualty columns of the daily newspapers. The only acceptable 
opinion would be that of a, man who has had as much experience with 
horses as he has had with boats, and such men are rare The popular 
prejudice against the sailboat, however, seems to be founded on the 
knowledge that if you capsize your boat or are run down you are in 
i he water; whereas if your horse runs away or throws you you are 
on land. It is beyond dispute that in proportion to the number of 
horses and sailboats in use there are far fewer accidents with the 
1 ormer. 
But it ought to be remembered that the opportunities of the aver- 
age man and woman for learning how to handle a horse are much 
more numerous than their opportunities for learning how to manage 
a sailboat. If people who go out sailing knew all about the manage- 
ment of boats, accidents would be extremely rare. For it ought to be 
remembered that a boat has no will of its own, whereas a horse has. 
The patient and faithful beast of burden sometimes takes the bit 
between his teeth and runs away, or he is so frightened that he loses 
his horse sense, and in either case he gets beyond control. 
The sailboat, on the other hand, is a creature in the hands of man, 
and when she upsets and hurls him into the water it is a direct result 
of his own ignorance. It would be a very good thing indeed if there 
were some way to prevent those foolish persons who go out in stiff 
breezes without reefs or take cockleshells out into open water from 
obtaining the use of boats at all, but that does not appear to be prac- 
ticable. It is all very well to say that if ignorant persons go out in 
boats and meet with mishaps they have themselves to thank for it, 
but as they almost always imperil others it would be a good idea to 
treat them to some punishment in case of survival. Persons who 
attempt suicide are punished, and going out sailing without the neces- 
sary skill is the next thing to such an attempt. Ia the meantime the 
poor boat gets all the blame, and there are many who honestly believe 
that sailing is dangerous in itself, while they will not hesitate to go 
out riding behind a horse whose temper they do not know. 
Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
A special ladies' race was sailed on Sept. 22 for a prize offered by 
Mrs. S. V. R, Cruger, a pair of Bohemian glass vases. Three of the 
club catboats were manned by Mrs. Cruger, Mrs. C. W. Wetmore and 
Mrs. Francis L. V. Hopper. Mrs. Cruger won, but presented one of 
the prizes to each of her rivals. A race of the 21ft. class, for the 
Roosevelt Memorial cup, was sailed after the catboat race. The times 
were:

Red Dragon C. C. 
The fall regatta of the Red Dragon C. C. was held off the club house 
at Wissinoming, Saturday, Sept. 15. The weather was perfect, cool 
and pleasant, with a steady breeze from the S.E. A special race was 
added to our regular programme for boats of the Atlantic City 
mosquito type, as quite a number of the boats are now owned on the 
river, the Philadelphia and Riverton Y. C. giving regular races for 
them. 
Great interest was centered in this match, as one of the best boats 
of the Corinthian Y. C. of the Corinthian Y, C. of Atlantic City was 
present. 
The course was to windward and back, five miles, the Corinthian 
boat winning. Had her crew been familiar with the river, they could 
have won by a wide margin, as she is much faster than anything in 
these waters. The start was at 3:03 P. M„ finish as follows: No. 11, 
Riverton Y. C. ; Vixen, Corinthian Y. C. ; No. 8, Riverton Y, C. : No. 3, 
Riverton Y. C. ; Georgie, Philadelphia Y. C. ; Olie, Red Dragon C. C. 
Vixen wins on allowance, 32s. Prize, a handsome silver cup.

Mr. Howard's Racing. 
The circumstantial letter of Mr. Willard Howard, the American 
canoeist who has been with us the whole season competing in all the 
canoe sailing races, will have been read last week by most canoemen 
interested in canoe racing. His arguments, though ingenious, hardly 
alter the fact that Yankee has not succeeded in vanquishing English 
canoes in sailing races. 
• The Salcombe racing of which he writes is very fully reported in the 
September number of the Model Yachtsman and Canoeist, and these 
reports in no way alter the facts given to us by private report ; and on 
the whole it seems clear that Salcombe proved no more acceptable a 
racing course for the Yankee than did Bourne End Reach, on the 
Thames. 
Whether the Yankee's fresh challenge to all or any British canoeists 
will be taken up by Dragon, the boat he particularly names, remains 
to be seen, but at so late a period of the year it is scarcely likely; and 
the challenging fever is seldom found to take a strong hold on 
Englishmen. On the whole, there is little to be learned from a single 
match race between two canoes especially when of widely different 
types. Where a match race is held to decide a well-balanced season's 
racing, in which two boats have, through the varying chances of 
crowded races, fiuky days, and accidents, been prize winners to about 
an equal extent, a match is of value, and may conclusively point out 
the best boat. This, however, cannot be claimed in the case of the 
1894 racing. We do not in any way cast doubt upon the possible speed 
latent in the Yankee, but the season's racing has not opened it out; 
and the only definite point she has proved is that a racing canoe may 
be so constructed as to be herself safe, or nearly so, in capsizing. But 
her owner's exploits, especially those chronicled from Salcombe, 
clearly advise that such capsizing had better be confined to smooth 
water close In shore. 
Then, as to type, we can only strongly urge that such a craft, or 
what might be made as a vast improvement upon Yankee under the new 
R. C. C. rule, is a most undesirable type: such craft will not lift canoe 
sailing out of the doldrums into full racing life. The Bogy craft which 
Mr. Howard threatens us with as about to be built for next season 
will, if of the dimensions he gives, depend very much for success on. 
where the season b races for 1895 are sailed, However, we need say 
no more on the Bogy, because, under the particular data and dimen- 
sions given, and which do not govern any particular form or displace- 
ment, mode of ballasting or of sail plan, the craft may be anything in 
shape, from the deepest pegtop section to the mildest of skim-milk 
saucers. 
Sir, As Mr. Wm. Willard Howard, of the canoe Yankee, has . 
thought fit to make mention of my canoe's name in his letter published 
in your last week's issue, and has done my boat the honor of referring 
to her as the best English canoe, a few words from me may not be out 
of place to explain the reasons why I do not see my way to take up 
the challenge he there thro ws down. 
At the present time the Dragon is under extensive alterations to fit- 
tings and sail plan which, besides necessitating much delay in arrang- 
ing a series of matches, even if he and I could agree upon some 
neutral waters in which the event could be brought off, would mean 
at the end of a season bringing out practically a new craft to race 
against one that has been constantly sailed throughout the racing 
season. I am a busy man., and my professional engagements even 
prevented my devoting one week at Salcombe for the B. C. A. meet, 
although the Dragon was built first with a view of competing against 
Mr. Howard's canoe in the £50 Challenge Cup of the Royal Canoe 
Club, and secondly, to compete for the County of Fermanagh Chal- 
lenge Cup there; and to expend the necessary time in arranging for, 
tuning up practically a new craft, and competing in a series of 
matches far away from town, is quite, from the point of view of time 
alone, out of the question at this period of the year. 
The Dragon, whether she is the best English canoe or not, did on six 
separate occasions compete against and beat, on what is admittedly 
the fairest Thames course that could have been selected by the Royal 
Canoe Club for its season's races, Mr. Howard's canoe Yankee. The 
two canoes were in competition on those six occasions only. 
For the challenge cup (the race for which Mr. Howard presumably 
primarily came over) the Vankee did not start. It was pretty certain 
to any impartial critic, judging from the previous and subsequent 
displays, that the Yankee, leaving out the question of the Dragon, 
stood little or no chanca of winning against the Battledore, Stella, 
Whizz or Curlew on that occasion also. 
Mr. Howard now again challenges English canoeists, knowing full 
well that he has everything to gain and nothing to lose if a race is 
brought off. Such a challenge I, for one, have neither the time nor 
the inclination to take up. 
In the fourth paragraph of the same letter Mr. Howard refers to a 
capsize by the Dragon at Bourne End, and states that she is an open 
well canoe, and was either run ashore or taken in tow. The former 
assertion is not a fact, and neither of the latter events happened on 
the only occasion she has ever capsized. Dragon, R. 0. C. 
American Hollow Spars. 
Apropos of the quotation from the Meld which we published last 
week, a correspondent writes us as follows in regard to hollow spars. 
We can vouch for the quality of the Rpars mentioned, as they have 
been very thoroughly tested for several years in some of the larger 
racing catboats, and have proved not only much lighter than the solid 
sticks but i eliable and durable: 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I do not know who made Yankee's spars, but I believe they were 
gotten out by the same man who built the boat. If such is the case 
they are not representatives of the American breed. With one or two 
exceptions all the hollow sticks used by canoeists are made at Bridge- 
port, and stand all kinds of weather without coming apart, and jt is 
not necessary to use screws to keep them together. I feel that I 
can speak with some knowledge einee I have used sixteen of them in 
my canoes on different rigs, and have since had eight for a Scarecrow 
model. Only one ever came apart, and that from no fault of the 
maker. I know a number of other men who have used them, and I 
never heard or knew of one failing. The "American breed" of spar 
cannot therefore be far wrong. 
The statement that "so far the hollow spar is more or less apoetical 
delusion" may be true in England, but the hollow spar is an absolute 
necessity here for racing, with big rigs especially. Solid sticks are a 
great deal too heavy in the first place, and are not as stiff as hollow 
sticks of the same diameter in the second place. Further, they can be 
shaped in any desired way so as to take the strain. This cannot be 
done with bamboo. Also, hollow sticks do not split and snap as the 
Field says bambo o do. Hollow Spar.

Revolver Shooting in England. 
The season at the revolver clubs is drawing to a close. There is 
only one more day at the South London Club, on Sept. 25. Last week 
Capt. Heath and Mr. Winans had tied for the revolver championship 
of the club, so the shoot on Sept. 11 was an important one. 
A few days before it took place, Mr. Winans was breaking a young 
mare of bis own breeding, and she started bucking suddenly and 
caused him to sprain his wrist badly, unfortunately the right one. 
He had to have his arm in splints for forty-eight hours, and shot on 
Sept. 11 at the South London and on Sept. 12 at the North London 
clubs, with his wrist bandaged in plasters and shot in some pain. 
This, of course, greatly handicapped him, but at the South London he 
was able to improve his scores for the revolver championship four 
points, and is now pretty well sure of the championship of that club. 
Below are details of scores:

At the North London Club they were very busy on Sept. 12. In ad- 
dition to the usual competitions for revolvers, the details of which are 
given below, there was a revolver handicap started on novel princi- 
ples. The idea is to encourage men to shoot the revolver who under 
actual shooting are unable to win a prize. Therefore a handicap 
tournament was started for twelve shots at 20yds., only one entry 
allowed, no previous practice on the day, the shooters to have points 
added to the scores thev made according to what was considered their 
shooting capabilities. Mr. Winans had to stand on his score, no points 
added. Capt. Heath and Mr. Rand had two points added to their 
scores, Mr. Andrews three points, Mr. Lowe four points, and so on. 
After the handicap was over Mr. Winans made the following score for 
twelve shots in the revolver competition, which is the best on record 
for 50yd8.: 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 6 7 7 7 6—40, which is two points more than 
his best on record at 50yds. Revolver series, 20yds:

Hansen vs. Watts. 
L. P. Hansen, of the Excelsior Rifle Club of Jersey City, and F. C. 
Watts, of the Newark Shooting Society, Newark, N. J., met at the 
Schuefzen Park in Newark on Saturday afternoon of last week to shoot 
off a 100-shot match. The conditions of the match called for 100 shots 
each, the stakes to be a supper and fixings for six. The following rifle 
enthusiasts were present to witness the contest: Messrs. Wm. Hayes, 
of Newark; Jas. T. B. Collins, of Bayonne; Richard Daniels, of Green- 
ville; Geo. W. Varick and Mr. Williams, of Jersey City, and G. W. 
Plaisted, of Forest and Stream. The weather was warm and pleas- 
ant, but the light was decidedly bad, owing to a blue haze that filled 
the atmosphere. Mr. Watts did not arrive in the park until nearly 4 
o'clock, which made it impossible to undertake to shoot 100 shots be- 
fore darkness would set in, so it was decided to restrict the match to 
50 shot each. Wm. Hayes was selected as referee and Richard Daniels 
scorer. Mr. Hansen shot a Ballard rifle with a Schalk barrel, .30-40, 
weight of rifle about 121bs. Mr. Watts shot a Schalk muzzleloader, 
.35cal., weighing 171bs. This rifle is owned by Wm. Hayes and has 
been in constant use since 1878. Scores:
