Dacotah's Record. 
From the Yachting World. 
In the spriDe high hopes were entertained of good sport in the 10- 
rating class. These hopes were only partly realized, as the Dacotah 
from the first showed herself so undoubtedly superior to the others 
tbat the destination of the second prize was, on most days, the only 
point of interest in the race. Herreshoff's creation in the skillful 
hands of her owner, Mr. Henry Allan, has shown herself little short of 
a marvel. Blow high, blow low, in running, reaching or going to 
windward, she was easily the best of the fleet, and one wonders if 
her designer himself could turn out a better boat, A racing "machine," 
certainly, but a machine of graceful appearance, perfect balance, and 
well-considered design even to the smallest details of construction and 
outfit. Her seaworthiness and speed in a strong wind and heavy sea, 
and her perfect steering and handiness in all conditions of wind and 
weather, showed what a really good racing boat can be produced of 
the much-derided bulb-fin type. Of the others, the Fife designed 
Lilith was her most serious opponent, notably so when her designer 
was at the tiller. Lilith is a keel boat of as graceful a form as ever 
came from Fairlle. and she was very fast in light winds, especially 
reaching. The Watson representative Sula was a first attempt on the 
part of that designer at producing a boat of this size of the bulb-fin 
type, and she cannot be written down as a success. She underwent 
many alterations in the course of the season which certainly improved 
both her speed and her steering qualities. Latterly she was doing bet- 
ter against Lilith as long as the strength of wind was such that she 
was not much inclined from even keel. But she was very tender in a 
breeze, and her bronze fin was not an unfamiliar sight to the crews of 
the boats on her weather. Of Rosetta, designed "by Nicholson, it is 
impossible to say anything complimentary. In spite of frequent and 
extensive alterations she remained at the bottom of the class, and her 
owner gave up racing her before the season was over. 
The older tens Ptarmigan and Dora were brought out in flne fettle 
to tackle the newcomers. Ptarmigan during the winter had been con- 
verted from centerboard to keel, and seemed to go faster in conse- 
quence. Both had new suits of sails, and wece pluckily sailed for a 
few races in the first class. Soon, however, it was seen that they had 
little chance of prize winning in such company, and they retired to 
the handicap class, where they fonnd plenty of sport. Ptarmigan 
stopped racing about the middle of the season, but Almida joined in, 
and with the 5-raters Tess and Fenella keen for racing, a good entry 
was assured up to the last rainy day. The three-year-old Tess (n6e 
Eileen), proved an unexpectedly good match for the new Fenella. 
Tess generally won in light weather, but Fenella had the heels of her 
in strong breezes. Undernoted are the results of the racing of these 
two classes:

Sailing' Dories. 
The sailing dory of Massachusetts Bay has found a patron in the 
Nahant Dory Club, which is working to encourage racing in these 
serviceable and inexpensive craft, Under the direction of a committee 
Com. M. W. Hammond. Vice-Corn. F. S Parker, Sec. Eben Wright, H. 
M. Sears, H. F. Otis rad T. S. Bradlee, the following definitions have 
been framed for both racing and fishing dories for the season of 1895: 
A dory shall consist of a flat-bottomed, centerboard, clinker-built 
boat, with rudder on stern board, without outside ballast, and the 
centerboard must house completely. 
In all dory races sailed off Nahant (unless otherwise specified) a 
racing dory shall not exceed 18ft. 6in. in length on the waterline, or 
25ft. over all, or be under 12in. in width on the bottom board, or ex- 
ceed 7ft. beam." The number of men carried shall be limited to Ave, 
and all dories shall be measured without crew on board. No sails 
shall be carried beyond mainsail and working jib. 
In all dory races sailed off Nahant, a fishing dory shall not exceed 
15ft. in lengthen the bottom boards. Sail shall be restricted to two 
leg-of-mutton sails, a jib[and flying jib. No hoisting sails (except jibs), 
stays, standing rigging, or weighted centerboards allowed. Half 
washboards not exceeding 6in. shall be allowed. 
Restricted Classes. 
Some of the Clyde sailormen who are apparently looking for a type 
with more than one season of racing life, have lately started to estab- 
lish a new restricted class, after the plan of the Dublin Bay "Mer- 
maids." The limitations adopted are: Length over all, 18ft.; beam, 
7ft. ; depth, 2ft. 6in. ; sail area, 200 sq. ft. ; clinker build, square stern, 
with fore deck and waterways.. All the boats will be built from one 
standard design, and six have been promised, to start with. The 
class should provide plenty of sailing and good racing at a moderate 
cost, and as outbuilding is practically impossible, it should last for 
some years. 
Other Clyde yachtsmen of different ideas have united to establish 
an unrestricted one-rating class, under the Y. R. A. rule. 
YACHT NEWS NOTES. 
On Oct. 18 a new yacht club was started in New Rochelle at a meet- 
ing held at the residence of Mr. C. M. Connolly; the name being the 
Neptune Yacht Club, The organization is in the hands of a commit- 
tee, C M. Connolly, chairman, R. T. Badgely, No. 6. Neptune Place, 
New Rochelle, sec'y; Arthur Townseud. treas,, and L. C. Ketchum, 
chairman of site committee. The club will have a house and anchor- 
age on New Rochelle harbor, and will provide fully for the safety of 
the members' craft. The sub-committees on constitution and by-laws, 
and on site, are now at work and will report at a meeting for formal 
organization which will be held shortly at the residence of Arthur 
Townsend, No. 6 Neptune Place. Applications for membership 
should be sent to the secretary. 
Com. Morgan has returned to Southampton from Havre in his steam 
yacht May, and the yacht will lay up there. Com. Morgan has leased 
a place in Leicestershire and will remain in England next year. 
Many inquiries have been made by passengers on incoming Old Colony 
trains as to the handsome white steam yacht lying in Neponset river 
She is the Mindora, and is owned by Mr. Chas. H. Merrill of Exeter. 
N. H. She is commanded by Capt. F. L. Moulton, and has been thorj 
ughly overhauled and refitted under his supervision. Her owner- 
may take her for a southern trip later in the year. The Mindora is 
170ft. long, is handsomely finished in solid mahogany, has ample 
accommodations, and is fast and seaworthy. She has a dining saloon 
and chart room in her deck house forward and steers from the bridge 
above. Capt. Moulton is very proud of his charge.— Boston Globe. 
This yacht was. once well Known as the Norma, b'uilt for the late N. 
L. Munro. Her new owner has put in all new machinery and refitted 
her thoroughly, 
Capt. Chas. Barr, who was recently hurt by a fall from the bovrBprit 
of Gloriana, has recovered sufficiently to leave the Presbyterian Hos- 
pital, and is now at Marblehead. 
Mr. W. G. Brokaw, of the schooner Viator, has presented to Mr. S. 
G. Roach, owner of the steam yacht Emeline, a handsome silver cup 
in recognition of the services rendered by the steam yacht in the re- 
cent storm at Larchmont. 
Captain James N. Peirce, a veteran pilot of the Atlantic Coast, who 
holds licenses in various ports, arrived in Baltimore from Norfolk in 
his whaleback fishing smack Capalca, a curious craft that was built 
upside down, inside out, wrong end first, and finally rolled down a hill, 
turning seven times in its descent, into the mud, fished out the next 
day and floated. The last named process constituted her launching 
The novel craft is 27ft. over all, 7ft. 4in. beam, 4ft. 6in. depth aft, and 
18in. forward. She was built of white oak ribs, with cedar planking 
with house and siding of North Carolina pine. She is in three water- 
tight compartments. Her building was begun in Norfolk, Va., two 
years ago, and she was partly finished in Camden, N. J. When the 
last touches are put upon her there is no telling where she will be. On 
her forward deck is a comfortable house in which the captain has his 
string bed, cooking utensils and otber useful articles. Just aft is a 
cockpit 5ft. long, semi-circular forward, with room for 4 men to fish. 
Aft of that is what constitutes the amidships water-tight compart> 
ment, which Captain Peirce uses as a well for live fish, aud it averages 
28in. in depth. Aft of that and on the overhang will be, when com- 
pleted, a storeroom for fish .or anj'thing else. Beneath this and the 
house forward are water-tight compartments. The rig is of th 3>old 
"bum ketch" pattern, with two masts, and she carries three sails, & 
jib. a mainsail and a jigger. Her hull has a regular rocker built bot- 
tom, and stands the sea admirably. If capsized she will almost right 
herself. Captain Peirce says he sailed his craft over 800 miles without 
a rudder. She is named after the famous bark Capalca, which 
rescued the unfortunate Fenians from Van Dieman's Land years ago, 
and when Captain Peirce was mate of her. , Captain Peirce is on a 
cruise in the bay, and is accompanied only by his Newfoundland dog 
Rover. He claims Baltimore as his home, but lives aboard his strange 
craft. • He is 55 years old.— Chicago Herald. 
Murray & Tregurtha, South Boston, Mass. , have not found their busi- 
ness at all restricted bv the hard times. The year thus far has been a very 
busy one with them. Thesaleof the Tregurtha water tube boilers is now 
more than twice as great as in 1893, and the prospects for future or- 
ders are encouraging. They have recently shipped a 5x6ft. Tregurtha 
boiler to the Georgetown Rice Milling Co., Georgetown. S. C. and are 
now building a 35in Tregurtha boiler for Mr. Joseph R. Williams, 
Taunton, Mass. They have also shipped 25ft. launches to G. S.Wright, 
South Andover, Mass.; T. F. Cassens, Deer Island. Mass.; G. F. Hunt, 
Boston, Mass.. and are building a high speed 30ft. launch for Boston 
parties. 
At the annual meeting of the Jamaica Ray Y. O. the following 
officers were elected for 1895: Com., H. F. Hewlett: Vice-Corn., Louis 
Bossert; Rear Com.,William Scbeer; Treas., L. M Pearsall; Fin. -Sec. 
L, D. Burnhana; Rec.-Sec. Louis Pflug; Meis.. J. Van Alen: Fleet Sur- 
geon, Dr. J. Mayer: Board of Trustees. H. F. Hewlett. Louis Bossert,

C. Lefferts, Charles Engert and John Landman, 
The Minneapolis Model Yacht Racing Association brought off 
another race in the 40ro. class on Oct. 14, Minerva, J. Hadden, being 
again the winner. D. H E., Mr. English, was the only other compet- 
itor. The course was half a mile to windward in a stiff breeze, the 
yachts carrying lower sails and jaokyarders. After a fairly even start 
Minerva climbed out to the front and by the time they came about had 
a good lead. This she gradually increased to the finish, winning by 
about a quarter of a mile. Toward the finish the wind lightened and 
the models set their flying jibs. The new boat does nos seem to be in 
perfect trim yet and better things are expected of her. Wasp is ex- 
pected to take part in the next race. 
Hanniel, steam yacht, Mr. C. H. W. Foster, is out at Lawley's yard 
for a new boiler. Her deck will also be raised. 
Frank Taff, of Whitestone, L. I., is the last of the inventors who 
have sought to imitate the motion of a fish's tail in the propulsion of 
vessels. His model is 5ft. 3in. long, 8in. wide and draws 5in. of water. 
She was fitted with a small vertical engine of lj^in. stroke, whose 
boiler carried 201bs of steam to develop about > 80 of a horse power. 
Along the side of the hull are four little black fins, fastened to shafts 
in pairs, two on a side. These fins are patterned after the tail of a 
fish, and the main surface, which is called the web. is thinned down 
toward the edges and strengthened by ribs of pliable metal. When 
the engine is started the shafts work athwartships. and hy their 
motion the fins are set wiggling after the manner of a fish's tail. In a 
recent trial at the Battery, New York, Mr. Taff lighted the small gaso- 
line lamp under the boiler and steam was up in a short time. Then h« 
launched bis model and headed her for the open river, following in a 
rowboat. The model began to glide awav, slowly at first, but soon 
her speed accumulated, and she cut through the waves like a torpedo. 
There was no churning astern of her such as is seen in the case of 
screw propellers, but the little craft spun along as if on invisible 
wings. As the rough water of the river was reached, Mr. Taff found 
tbat the choppy waves were too much for his model. Not wishing to 
have her sink, he rowed up and extinguished the light. While such 
devices have never been of much value, the demands of naval archi- 
tecture are constantly changing, and there may be points in the in- 
ventor's assertion that the idea is particularly adaptable to submarine 
boats, as the latter, when worked by screw propellers, have a ten- 
dency to lower their bows. The fin propeller can be canted to any 
angle to counteract this.— American Shipbuilder. 
Adelaide, sloop, Mr. R. W. In man, has been recently fitted with a 
gasoline engine by L, J. Wing & Co. The engine occupies but little 
room and has driven the yacht at an average speed of 7 miles per 
hour. Adelaide is a deep centerboard sloop, designed and built by 
Wood Bros, in 1885. 51ft. 3in. over all, 45ft. 5in. l.w.l., 15ft. beam and 
7ft. draft, with 27.0001bs. of lead on her keel. From the experiments 
made on her and other boats, the new motor promises to make a most 
practical and convenient auxiliary for small sailing yachts. 
The 21ft. cutter Amalia, designed and built by her owners, the 
Schirek Bros., of Rochester, crossed the Lake last week from Presque 
Isle to Charlotte, coming safely through a very severe gale. Her 
cockpit was flooded and all hands well drenched, but the boat sus- 
tained no damage. 
Eleanor, steam yacht, will sail shortly from New London on a trip 
of two yeBrs around the world, her party including her owner, W. A, 
Slater, of Norwich, Conn., and family, private secretary L. C. Harri- 
son, Mr. J. M. Johnson, Dr. W. K. Tine-ley and Miss Traver and John 
W. Slater, Mr. Slater's cousin, of Providence. The yacht will sail 
directly to Cannes, France, and thence to Egypt, through the Suez 
Canal to Australia and on to Japan and China, where the summer 
will be spent. The winter of 1895 will be passed among the Southern 
Pacific Islands. The summer of 1896 will be passed in Alaska, return- 
ing by way of Cape Horn to New York. 
The San Francisco Examiner tells of a party of four young working 
boys who have been busily engaged at night and on holidays for some 
time in the construction of a 30ft. l.w.l. cutter, of 18ft. beam Nearly 
all of the work has been done by the boys, and they expect to launch 
their craft by March next. 
Marguerite (Semiramis) arrived in the Itchen River on Oct. 6, from 
New York, and will winter there. Fay & Co. will do some work on 
her, and she will befitted out for a cruise around the world. 
Mr. A. Cary Smith is at work on a design for a 70ft. schooner, to be 
built of woori. He has also under way the design of a pilot schooner 
for Fernandina, Fla. His last steamer, the City of Lowell, is even a 
greater success than the Richard Peck. 
tent. In the way I have suggested there is a specified date," the same 
as for the Association officers, and being the same time, all reports 
would bear even date and it would give plenty of time to have all 
reports ready for the executive committee meeting. "*** 
As it is at present, too, the Association officers" have two sets of 
Division officers to deal with, the old Division officers for a month or 
more and then the new ones, and the Division officers vice versa, con- 
sequently there is considerable confusion that I think can be easily 
and properly avoided by this change suggested. Geo. P. Douglass. 
Though formed on nominally the same lines as the American Canoe 
Association, the British C. A. has had no supervision of racing or 
racing rules, and there has been no uniform system of canoe racing 
rules in Great Britain, though those of the Royal C. C. have exerted 
considerable influence outside of the club. For some time past a 
movement has been on foot for the establishment of a canoe racing 
council, independent of the B. C A. for the purpose of formulating 
rules. This new organization, unlike the A. C. A., will be composed of 
clubs and not individual members; but as there are only about ten 
canoe clubs which are interested, the difficulties which have arisen 
here in connection with an association of clubs may be avoided. At 
the same time it is hard to understand why the work of making and 
enforcing rules should not be done, as with us, by the existing national 
association. 
The fate of the canoe yawl in England is now a matter of doubt, as 
it is quite possible that the class may be practically absorbed by the 
small yachts, with fin-keels and long ends, of the ^-rating class. The 
light, handleable canoe yawl with movable ballast is an excellent type, 
well suited to both American and English waters, and it will be a pity 
if it is allowed to disappear for want of suitable class restrictions. 
Though little known in this country, it has much to recommend it to 
those who have tired of the 30in. canoe, and there is a prospect of the 
type becoming quite popular here next year. 
A. C. A. Executive Committee. 
The date and place of the annual meeting of the A. C A. executive 
committee have not yet been announced by Com. Witberbee, but the 
probability is that the meeting will be held in Albany, early next 
month. Under the constitution all proposed amendments must be 
published in the Fohkst and Stream for at least, fourteen days prior 
to the meeting, and those having amendments to offer must give 
early notice. The following explains itself, the amendment is a good 
one, tending to remove a cause of some confusion: 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I beg to offer the following amendment to the Constitution of the 
American Canoe Association: 
Art. V, Sec. 2, par, 8, line 4, after word "begin" strike out all the 
rest of that paragraph and substitute "the first day of October and 
end the first day of October the year following, or until their suc- 
cessors qualify." 
My reasons for this change are as follows: At present there is no 
specific date for the Division pursers to close their accounts except as 
would naturally be done with the expiration of their term of office 
with the executive committee meeting in October or November. It is 
absolutely necessary for them to close these accounts some time 
before, to enable the Secretary -Treasurer to incorporate the necessary 
portions of their reports in his accounts aud before his accounts are 
audited. All this takes time, and now there is more or less confusion 
and uncertainty as to when the pursers shall close their accounts, 
and then they are only done as a matter of courtesy to a certain ex-

The Krag— Jorgensen Rifle. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I have been asked to give my opinion on the Krag- Jorgensen gun, 
recently adopted by the United States Army. I have used it with as 
much care as possible, to bring out its merits, and must say that from 
my experience it is one of the most wonderful weapons both for 
power and accuracy I have ever seen. 
As is well known among sportsmen, the military gun has not been 
useful for work in the field. The desire always has been with the 
military, to acquire power at the expense, somewhat, of accuracy, 
and in the experiments attending the introduction of the Krag-Jor- 
gensen gun into the army, I notice that the highest point of accuracy 
had not been attained. 
My experience as to accuracy has been very commendatory of the 
gun. The caliber I used was the .30, which has been adopted bv the 
United States Army. The charge was 34grs. Peyton powder and the 
weight of the bullet 230grs. 
The experiments I made were limited as to distance I had noticed 
from the reports that the steel-cased ball was not a success, bv reason 
of its danger in exploding the outside shell of the ball. I have not 
found this to be the case. 
It would be natural that the heavier the weight of the leaden inside 
of the shell upon impact would burst the outer coat, thus virtually 
making an ;explosive ball, the use of which is contrary to military 
usages. 
This would be natural because of the tremendous velocity, but the 
rifling grooves are very sharp, the rifles running clear around the bar- 
rels two and a half times. 
The ordinary leaden bullet without the hardened nickel-steel coat, 
driven with the great velocity required by the new arm, would only 
be a shapeless slug: but with the bard case it takes the grooves prop- 
erly and is accurate as well as powerful. 
I did not have the opportunity of firing the gun at a body other than 
wood or iron, but the bullet, when it could be found, in every instance 
was unbroken and straight on end. Of course it was flattened, but 
the particles adhered together. 
The power of the gun is tremendous and in my opinion it would be 
a wonderful deer and bear gun. 
At a distance of 50yds. the ball crushed its way through 22in. of 
tough, half-dry locust. At the same distance it pounded its way 
through 30in. of solid oak. At. the same distance the ball went clear 
and clean through three pieces of well dried poplar, each pi*ce being 
separate from its fellow by about 4in.;the whole penetration being 
about 56in. At 50yds. it made a clean penetration of J^in. of tough 
and hard plow-point steel, and buried itself out of sight in a heavy, 
dried sycamore target. 
The steel plate was penetrated with as much ease as if it had been 
paper. The tremendous revolution of the ball is shown by the fact 
that the hole through which it went is }4m. in diameter, while the 
bullet is only 30-1 OOin. in diameter. 
At this same distance it broke through a V 2 m. plate of tough plow- 
point steel It did not make a clean penetration, but made a clean, 
clear, round bore of two-thirds of the thickness of the steel plate and 
broke or rather split the remaining part of the plate. The ball, how- 
ever, did not penetrate clean through beyond the above distance, but 
split open the remainder of the plate not penetrated for about an inch 
and a quarter. 
This record is seemingly incredible, but it was done repeatedly. I 
was frequently struck with its vast supremacy in power over other 
fine s'andard rifles I tested it with a .45cal. Springfield and with a 
,45eal. Hotchkiss, guns of the best class. The Springfield, a very fine 
officer's model, with long cartridge, having velocity at 53ft. of 1,283ft 
per second, penetrated the J4in. plate, making a rough, jagged, oblong 
break clean through; but on the J^in. plate it made very small pene- 
tration. 
Several shots with the Springfield made only a small perceptible 
impression. 
The Hotchkiss made only a small dent in the J^in. plate. Tt made 
no penetration. I will say, however, in behalf of the Hotchkiss that 
the missiles used were lead, while the Krag- Jorgensen had the steel- 
coated missile, giving it more penetration through metal. 
As to its accuracy at 100yds. and at 400yds , which last was the 
furthest point we were able to test, I find it a very accurate gun. 
My friend, Dr. Mahan, of Charleston, killed a mountain hawk at 
400yds., and at 50yds. separated the head of a gar from its body. 
I noticed in reference to the gar, which was 2V^in. in diameter, that 
the ball had severed the head with the exception of a small piece of 
skin which remained. This was peculiarly noticeab'e from the fact 
that shooting the ball into a piece of wood or target, the bullet hole 
was almost imperceptible, but the cut on the gar's head was as clean 
and clear as if it had been done with a knife, and the cut was wider 
than the length of the bullet, thus doing away with the idea that the 
hole cut could have come from the ball striking sidewise. 
The accuracy of the gun cannot be questioned, and I believe that 
the report was that it had no kick or rebound. That is true as long as 
the gun is perfectly clean, but after the tenth or twelfth shot without 
cleaning, the rebound is more vigorous and it loses somewhat in accu- 
racy, and, what, is strange to say, somewhat in power, and with fairly 
continuous shooting the barrel becomes so hot that without a shield 
it is not manageable. 
The mechanism of the gun is fairly simple but will suit the intelli- 
gent hunter much better than the common soldier. The loading ap- 
paratus is very simple: there is only one trouble— the last cartridge 
in the magazine always jams, This may not be the case with all of 
the guns, but it is so with mine. The old objection to this style of 
gun, among which is the Hotchkiss, is the projection of the lever di- 
rectly out from the outside, making a projection which is always in 
the way in the woods. This has been obviated by the mechanism of 
this gun, which allows the lever to fall along the side of the stock, so 
that it is very little in the way. The up motion is an admirably sim- 
ple one, the expulsion of the cartridge, the placing of another one in, 
the cocking of the piece is all done with one stroke of the lever, and in 
an infinitely short space of time, and all with one compound motion.

San Francisco Target Work. 
San Francisco, Oct. 14.— Editor Forest and Stream: The weather 
to-day was well nigh perfect for target work, and in consequence 
some good scoring was done at Shell Mound by.the members of the 
Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
The members' rifle medals, no re-entry, were firs mot for. H. R. 
Brown led the champion rifle class with 89, D. W. M- .uaughlin 86 Dr" 
Rodgers 85, F. O. Young 82. First class, A. H. Paps 80, A. Gehret 77.' 
Second clasp, Perry 78. Lieut- Davis 60, A. Fatz 50, 
Memhers' pistol medals, no re-entry: Champion class, E. Hovey 91 
S. Carr 89, Col. Kellogg 8B, F. O. Young 81, C. M Daiss 81. First class 
Pape 90, Baumgartner 8S, Dr. Rodeers 86, Lieut. Davis 80, Bohr 67. 
Second class, C. Perry 80, A. Fetz 80, Kennedy 79, A. Gehret 71, Zim- 
mermann 66. 
A sharp struggle for the all-comers' jeweled gold medal with rifle 
then took place, 200yds., re-entry, one fcore to count. Dr. W. Mc- 
Laughlin carried off the honors by making the following splendid 
score: 
McLaughlin 8 10 8 9 9 10 10 10 10 10-04 
FO Young 9 io jo 9 10 8 10 7 10 8—91 
DrLORodgers .9 8 8 10 8 10 10 9 8 10—90 
A. Gehret 83, Baumgartner 80. Brown 80, Daiss 79.
