Another Key West boat. Novice by name, recently imported from 
Long Island Sound, was on band. Her crew claim to have beaten 
Aura on a previous occasion, and were loud in tbeir boasts of how 
they intended to humiliate Biscayne Bay, but their racing ardor 
was so cooled by Aura's defeat that upon receipt of a challenge 
from the victorious Widow they incontinently fled, squaring away 
for home; nor have we heard from them since.. 
The steam yacht Dungeness, Mrs. Lucy Carnegie, N. Y, Y. C, 
came into the bar on Feb. 25, and now lies at anchor about a mile 
off the club house. On board are Mrs. Carnegie, Miss Sherlocn, 
Messrs. Andrew and Morris Carnegie. Blandy and Hayes. 
Although Dungeness draws 8ft. Oin., and was repeatedly assured 
that she could not come inside, of Cape Florida, she did so without 
the slightest difficulty, and is anchored beside the buoy thai, marks 
the bogiuning of the Biscayne Bay Y. C. racing course. From here 
Dungeness will visit Key West, the west co.ist, Havana and 
Nassau. . . 
Monomoy, the Boston yacht, drawing 3ft 6in. and lying just off 
the club house, Is entitled to fly the colors of seven clubs, including 
the Hull, Dorchester, Corinthian, of Marblehead, Savin Hill, etc. 
She left Boston on September 27 of last year, and arrived here on 
Feb. 20, after a leisurely and thoroughly enjoyable cruise down the 
coast. From here she will proceed to Key West, Havana and 
Lounger, B. B. Y. C, is still at Lake Worth, which is the most 
southerly poin t she has yet reached in this season's cruising. 
Wautauga, recently designed by Wintringham for Mr.Billings, of 
New York, on Lounger's lines, has not yet reached the bay, but is 
reported as on the Indian River. She had a recent narrow escape 
from total wreck in the breakers of Mosquito Inlet, where she was 
helplessly aground and pounding heavily when rescued by a pass- 
ing steamer. 
Of the entrances on the east coast of Florida south of Augustine, 
Mosquito Inlet is very dangerous; St. Lucie is good for anything 
drawing four feet or less; Jupiter is nearly closed; Lake Worth is 
only 6afe for boats drawing less than IS inches: the bars at New 
River and Bear's Cut have both shifted well to the southward, and 
the Cape Florida channel is open for anything of 9ft. draft or less.

New Yachting Terms. 
Chatham, N. B.— Editor Forest and Stream: You are not definite 
enough in your explanation of the term "narrowing wind," when 
yon say it "is a wind which draws ahead at a very small angle 
with the vessel's keel " That would be a narrow, but not neces- 
sarily a narrowing, wind. A narrowing wind is one that keeps 
drawing more and more ahead, thus forcing the yacht to keep 
flattening her sails more and more, in order that she may hold her 
course, Amateur can surely see this without marine glasses 
even though experience may not have taught him to recognize , 
.sweet" curve at sight. J. L. STEWART, a 
The Mediterranean^Races. 
The first important event of the 'Mediterranean races was the 
meeting of Britannia and the new Fife cutter Ailsa, on March 7, 
at Cannes. The new boat was just in from a hard passage across 
the Bay, from Glasgow, on which she sustained some damage to 
her copper. Sbe was docked at Gibraltar, and thirty-eight sheets 
were replaced. 
The course was a 10-mile triangle, from oil the club's station 
around a mark-boat off St. Honorat Island, another mark-boat off 
Point L'Aquille, and home, sailed three times. The day was clear, 
with a light wind. The starters were Britannia, Ailsa and 
Corsair, tbe former over the lino to windward. The first leg was 
a drift to windward, Britannia gaining; the second was a reach, 
sailed with a stronger breeze from the southward, on the beam, 
Ailsa overhauling Britannia and being but 1 min. astern at the 
end of the first round. 
Going out to St. Honorat, the two sailedvery evenly; the second 
round was sailed in a stronger breeze and the two were within a 
minute all over the course. The third round began with rather 
less wind; Ailsa passed Britannia 2 mi n. up to the second mark. 
She finished 2 m. 50 sec. ahead of Britannia, her allowance, aa 
estimated, being about 1 m. 12 sec. Britannia was failed by Capt. 
Carter, and Ailsa by Capt. Jay; Mr. Will Fife, Jr., being on board. 
Dacotah won the race in her class, but next day was defeated by 
the French yacht Sainte Martial. On March 9 Ailsa, Britannia, 
Corsair, Valkyrie I. and Ovetta (Deerhound) were entered, but 
Ailsa broke a halyard block at the start and withdrew, Britannia 
winning easily. Dacotah won in her class. 
On Monday Ailsa was still unable to start, as she could not re- 
place the broken block. Britannia again defeated Corsair and Val- 
kyrie I., and Dacotah, in a strong wind and sea, defeated Bebelle 
and the new French fin-keel Rolla III. Britannia .lost her topmast 
in a squall after the race. 
YACHT NEWS NOTES.

Yacht Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has donated a handsome and ap- 
propriate trophy, ooeu to challenge from any recognized model 
yacht club in the United States, Canada and Europe. A cut of 
the trophy and the terms governing the competitions will appear 
in the next issue of the Forest and Stream.

Atlantic Division Executive Committee. 
The executive committee of the Atlantic Division of the A. C, 
A. held a meeting at the Algonquin G. club-house in Trenton. 
N. J., on March 2, at which the full committee, composed as fol- 
lows, were present, and some twenty members of the association: 
Messrs. H. Lansing Quick, Vice-Corn.; Joseph E. Murray, Rear 
Com.; Thomas Hale, Jr., Purser, and Irving V. Dorland, R. H. 
Smythe and James K. Hand. The first matter taken up, and the 
most important, was the question of doing away with the Atlantic 
Division meet for the year 1895. After a long and exhaustive dis- 
cussion on the subject, it was decided finally that no Atlantic 
Division meet should be held this year; and the Transportation 
Committee of the division, when appointed, were authorized to 
expend an amount not to exceed $100, for the purpose of properly 
taking care of boats, duffle, etc., on their arrival at the spot 
selected for the 1895 meet. Other minor matters were brought up 
in their order, and the meeting broke up to enjoy tbe hospitality 
of the members of the Algonquin C. C, in the shape of refresh- 
ments, which were thoroughly appreciated by all.

Control of Trap-Shooting. 
The publication in Forest and Stream of March 2, of the proposed 
constitution for a national body of trap-shooters marked the sec- 
ond step in the direction of a sound basis for trap-shooting. The 
need of such an organization as a regulating body has been very 
generally acknowledged, and the provisions in the proposed con- 
stitution, if agreed to, will vest sufficient power in the hands of 
the governing body to enable it to carry out the plans made for 
furthering the best interests of the sport. 
The agitation in favor of cleaner tournaments has not been 
fruitless. Scarcely a day passes but Forest and Stream receives 
some token that the good work is going on. From the East, West 
and South have come programmes within the past few days, pro- 
grammes that are pregnant with meaning: "Dropping for place 
will not be tolerated at this shoot." Pleasant as the words and 
sentiment are, it is rather degrading to the sport that it has 
seemed necessary to insert such a sentence in the programme of 
any tournament; yet, as was very pertinently pointed out by Mr. 
Hebbard, in Forest and Stream of Jan. 5, there is nothing in the 
present rules governing trap-shooting which forbids or d eters a 
man from breaking any number of targets or dropping a ny num- 
ber when he sees a chance to make money by doing so. Moreover- 
no penalty is attached to crooked work by shooters. In some few 
isolated cases olubs have been brave enough to stand up and notify 
certain parties that their presence at tournaments given by those 
clubs is undesirable, and they will not be permitted to compete in 
the events at such tournaments. But those instances are rare, and 
managements are unfortunately chary of acting in this manner. 
The matter properly belongs to some governing and regulating 
body, and that body is the one sought to be formed at the meeting 
of April 3 at the Astor House, in this city. 
DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The prospects for a large entry list in the Grand American 
Handicap are very flattering. Manager Shaner writes that he 
will probably have the Interstate Association's new tent ready by 
April 1; in that case he will place it in position behind the score 
for the accommodation of shooters. The tent will be fitted with 
gun- racks and withjaooka, etc., on which to hang coats and hats. 
It will eventually take tbe place of the smaller ones which were 
always in evidence at the Intersta te shoots last year. 
John L. Brewer and T. W. Morf ey put up $150 a side in the bands 
of Justus Von Lengerke, of the firm of Von Lengerke & Detmold, 
8 Murray street, this city, on Monday last, March 11. Tbe ulti- 
mate ownership of the money will be settled on Saturday, March 
23, on which date the two men shoot a race at Willard Park, 
Paterson, N. J„ for $300, 50 live birds per man, Long Island rules. 
"Uncle Billy" Hughes won the Pfaender diamond badge at the 
Coney Island Rod and Gun club's monthly shoot at Dexter Park 
L. I., on March 6. Mr. Hughes, who is 73 years of age, killed 10 
straight from the 27 yards mark; his total for the afternoon was 
18 out of 21. 
The two days' tournament of the Rockford, 111.. Gun Club will 
be held March 26-27. The committee nf manaserneut is composed 
of the following: J. Monteith, Al. Henry,' C. Helm, F. Haines and 
John T. Buker; this committee has made all arrangements neces- 
sary for the comfort of the sbooters. 
New dates claimed are: April 15, Standard Gun Club. Baltimore 
Md,; April 23-24. Elizabeth, N. J., Gun Club's bi-monthly tourna- 
ment; May 30, Mountville, Pa.; June 13-14, North Dakota State 
Sportsmen's Association's first annual tournament at Fargo, 
N. D. 
Mr. H. O. Price, secretary of the Southern Club. Hot Springs , 
Ark., under date of March 2, writes as follows: "Owing to un- 
avoidable complications, the management has decided to postpone 
the live bird shoot announced for March 13 «nd 14. with $500 
guaranteed, until March, 1896, when a Grand National live bird 
s hoot, with $2,500 cash guaranteed, will be held.": 
T. W. Morfey and Frank Class shot the third match of their 
series on March 7, atTCharlie Zwirlein's grounds, Ya,rdville, Pa.. 
Morfey winning by one bird with the score of !1 to 90. 
The New Utrecht Gun Club, of Woodlawn, L. 'I., and the River- 
ton, N. J., Gun Club, will shoot three matches, ten men a side, 25 
live birds per man, in the near future; each club has a. match on 
the home grounds, the choice of grounds for the third match to 
be decided by a toss. At a meeting of the New Utrecht Club, 
held on Saturday, March 9. President W. F. Sykes was authorized 
to accept the challenge of the Riverton Club and to arrange all 
details of the contests. 
The New York County Gun Club, with" grounds at Rockaway 
Park, L. I., has elected the following officers for 1S95: President, 
T. H. "Keller; Vice-President, J. H. Richmond; Treasurer, Gus 
Greiff; Secretary, L. H. Schortemeier: Captain, Edward Banks.! 
The Rockaway Park Rod and Gun Club had capital weather for 
its March club shoot; the scores are unavoidably withheld until 
the next issde. The boys are always full of jokes, and are always 
on the lookout for something of the kind. It may interest Major 
Spott, a veteran of the German army, and a member of tbe Elite 
Sohutzen Corps, of Brooklyn, N. Y.., to learn how that duck 
which " Joe Bourke shot this morning," and which the Ma jor 
carried home carefully wrapped in paper, came to be filled with a 
half-brick and some newspaper. "Jobn"Tiernanis the best man 
for him to get the particulars from. 
Charlie Zwirlein advertises a two days' shoot at live birds a 
Yardville. N. J., on March 20, 21. First day, sweepstake shooting; 
second day. a 25 bird handicap, $10 entrance, birds extra at 25 cents 
each; $35 added to high gun. 
Col. A. G. Courtney, of the Lefever Arms Co,, Syracuse, N, Y. . 
was in New York a few days ago. He arrived on March 8, fresh 
from the Worcester, Mass., tournament, which he said was a nice 
affair.adding, however, that Mascoft, tbe "Mayor of Sutton," was 
much put out at the absence of T. H. Keller, the "Mayor" having 
fully expected to take $12.50 out of Keller's pocket in a 25 target 
race. Courtney will leave Syracuse in a few days and go through 
to California on a business trip, returning in time, he hopes, for 
the Drayton, O., and Knoxville, Tenn., shoots. 
A delegation of New Jersey trap-shooters will put in an appear- 
ance at the Wellington. Mass., tournament on April 9, 10. if pres- 
ent plans do not fall through. The Jersevmen will probably be 
F. Van Dyke, T. H. Keller, Neaf Apgar, "Dutchy" Smith and 
Noel E. Money." 
Mention is made in the account of tbe Boiling Springs tourna- 
ment, at Rutherford. N. J., of a new live-bird trap which W. G. 
Clark, of Altoona, Pa.,, was talking about. At the shoot Clark 
had amodel along with him which was freely inspected and favor- 
ably criticized. Morfey won one of these traps when he shot 
Clai-k his first race at Altoona last December; this trap was used 
as No. 3 in the live-bird events at Rutherfordthus giving an object 
lesson as to the value of the trap in a far superior manner to what 
any moael could do. The trap is built on a solid base of hard 
wood, and requires merely tbe driving of a pin through a hole in 
the front of the base to place it in position. The balance of tbe 
trap is in three pieces, ali of solid hard wood, two sides, curved so 
as to meet and make a tunnel, and an end piece which is placed 
in position after the bird has been put in the tunnel. The other 
end of the "tunnel," the end away from the traps, is covered with 
wire bars, so that the bird can look out and get fresh air. The 
catch that holds the trap is very simple and easily adjusted. When 
the, trap is pulled, a "flipper" with a red rag attached pops up 
behind the bird and drives it off the trap at once. The working of 
the flipper is also simple, and there is apparently nothing to get out 
of order in tbe whole trap. Messrs. Clark and House, both of 
Altoona, have patented the invention and are preparing to place 
the traps on the market. Viewed by the work the trap did -at 
Rutherford, it is all that its inventors claim for it. 
At the meeting of the Rhode Island Trap Shooting Association, 
of Providence. R. I., on Feb. 28, the following officers were elected: 
President, A. L. Andrews; Vice-President, Phillip Randall; Secre- 
tary. J. F. Russell; Treasurer, W. W. Mo°her; Captain, Samuel F. 
Wilson; Directors, L. C. Whitaker and William Plaisted. 
A new gun club was organized on March 3. at Athens, Pa. The 
officers are: President, J. S. Hamaker; Vice-President, Wm. 
Heavner: Secretary, J. H. Murelle; Treasurer, R. S. Hickey; Cap- 
tain. A. H. Nevins. 
With April 1 now in sight the tonrnament season of 1895 may be 
said to be opened; from that date right along until late in the fall 
the smashing of targets will continue without intermission. It is 
calculated by the target companies that whereas it took less than 
20,000.000 to satisfy all requirements last year, it will take quite tha 
number to keep pace with the demand this season. 
Rolla Herkes. writing from Dayton, O., under date of March i 
says: "In your next issue of Forest and Stream I would like to have 
you insert in your Fixture column, in connection with the notice 
alerady given there, that the Buckeye Gun Club adds $200 in the 
league events. Also state that the Ohio State Transporrers' League 
programme will be ready for distribution April 1, W.H.Stark 
Sec. From present indications we will have the largest attend- 
ance ever registered at an Ohio League tournament; one set of 
traps will be run exclusively for the open events, which, with a 
good entrance, will make it an object for all the experts to come 
and get in line before leaving for the greatest shoot on earth at 
targets— Knoxville, Tenn." After expressing a hope that I may 
be able to be present at the tournament, and also saying a few dis 
paraging words as to mv execution with a cue. Rolla adds: "I may 
take a foolish notion and fome down and win the Grand American 
Handicap, and also take in the Boston and Pittsburg shoots and 
meet the old friends." That Dayton shoot should be a dandy. 
Boyle Bros., proprietors of Willard Park, Paterson, N. J„ prom- 
ise to have on hand a first-class lot of selected birds for the Grand 
American Handicap: the price of pigeons throughout the entire 
tournament will be 25 cents each. The retrieving will all be done 
by dogs. Elmer Shaner also wishes me to state that "after the 
close of the three days' tournament any private matches tbat may 
be arranged can be shot off on the same grounds." 
The "annual meeting of the Standard Gun Club, of Baltimore 
Md., was held on March 6, and the following officers elected for 
the ensuing year: President, C. E. Bonday; Vice-President, 6. H 
Ghent; Secretary-Treasurer, W. T. Clements; Captain. John 
Devall. 
The Baltimore, Md„ American.'of March 5. contains the follow 
ing: "The annual meeting of the Baltimore G. C. was held yester 
day afternoon at the Carrollton Hotel. In view of the growing 
interest in trap shooting in this city, it was decided to enlarge the 
scope of the organization so as to take in members of other clubs, 
and aU who take an interest in tbe sport. With this object in 
view the name of the organization was changed to the Baltimore 
Trap Shooting Association. A committee of three members— H. 
A. Penrose, Dr. S. J. Fort and Dr. J. W. Linthicum. was appointed 
to draft a new constitution and by-laws for the government of 
the association. The following officers to serve the ensuing year 
were elected: President, H. A. Penrose; Vice-President, J. A 
Willard;. Secretary, Dr. S. J. Fort: Treasurer, James R. Malone 
Field Captain, William'Field. Five directors will be appointed by 
the president at the next meeting." 
The John F. Weiler Gun Club, of Allentown, Pa., held its regu- 
lar monthly shoot at Rittersyille on March 5. Brey.won the gold
