•with a new boat. It is probable that next season wil] se^ 
several new racing canoes in the sailing division, while the 
victory of a Western paddler, and in a peculiar position, 
must awaken the rivalry of the East and Canada. While the 
entries were but few in number in many of the events, nearly 
thirty races took place, and the interest in them was not con- 
fined to a few experts, but vras very general throughout the 
camp. 
In our description of Mab last week we neglected to men- 
tion that all of her deck fittings are of rawhide; in,stead of 
blocks she has plain brass thimbles secured by a loop of raw- 
Mde to a base of the same material, which is screwed to the 
deck. How this works when saturated with water we do 
not know, but as long as it Is protected by varnish and dry 
it is hard, strong and light. 
The Georgia riflemen, who lost the above match by 3 points, took 
their revenge in the Carbine team match, a team rppresenting the 
Georgia Hussars, winning the contest with a score of 282. The condi- 
tions were: five men to a team, 7 shots each at 200 and 500yds. The 
scores were: 
New Jersey National Guard match. Prize, the New Jersey National 
Guard trophy and $50; second prize $25, and a medal to each member 
of the winning team:

New Jersey State Rifle Association. 
The annual meeting of the New Jersey State Rifle Association was 
held last week on the range at Sea Girt, where these annual meetings 
have always been held, and where the Association has an elegant club 
house and ranges second to none. There was a large attendance of 
shooters, and as a natural result the interstate events were of excep- 
tional interest. 
The New Jersey organization has become the possessor of several 
trophies owing to the decease of the National Rifle Association, the 
latter organization when it went out of existence handing over to the 
New Jersey Association trophies which were shot for at the annual 
meeting of the national body. 
All the arrangements for shooting off the long list of events sched- 
uled for this meeting were as perfect as could be desired. The officers 
of the Association are: President, Hon. John W. Groggs; Vice-Presi- 
dents, Gen. Wm. C. Heppenheimer, Gen. P Farmer Wanser and Wm, 
Hayes; Treasurer and Executive Officer, Gen. Bird W. Spencer; Sec- 
retary and Statistical Officer, Capt. DeLancy G. Walker; Assistant Sec- 
retary and Manager, Lieut. Albert S. Jones. 
The sharpshooters were treated well by the weather, that on the last 
day being about the worst of the wnole meeting. 
FIRST DAY— SEPT, 1. 
The marksmen got to work early this morning, and from the start, 
which was about 8 A. M., there was no break In the firing until dark- 
ness put an end to shooting for the day. The strong northwest wind 
which was blowing in the early morning hours threatened to make 
trouble for the riflemen, but this proved not to be the case. 
There were five events set down on the programme for to-day, but 
only two were brought to a conclusion, the company team match and 
the carbine team match. The first was won by the first team of Com- 
pany A, Engineer Corps, D C., with the large total of 432, The first 
battalion, Georgia Infantry, was second with 430. The conditions of 
this race were 5 men to a team, 10 shots per man, at 200 and SOOyds.

SECOND DAY, SBPT, 2. 
Among the more important events decided to-day was the Inter- 
state team match. This event was won by the Georgians with a total 
of 1,048; the Massachusetts men were second with 1,030, the District 
of Columbia team having to be content with third place and a score 
of 1,022. The scores were: 
200yds, 500yds, 
Georgia . . . „. . . , 517 581—1048 
Massachusetts 518 517—1030 
District of Columbia 516 506—1022 
Pennsylvania , , , ; , . , , 499 493— 992 
New Jersey 479 488 - 967 
THIRD DAT, SEPT. 3. 
To-day was not a good one for large scores, a 20-miles-an-hour wind 
sweeping over the ranges. The force of the wind would not have 
been so fatal to high scoring had it been steady; it came, however, in 
gusts that knocked out all previous calculations as to correct windage. 
The HUton trophy contest was the chief event on the programme, 
and the closing scenes in this contest will not be easily forgotten. 
The teams representing the District of Columbia and the State of 
Georgia were in the lead, and the final rounds at the 600yds. range 
were watched with the most intense interest. The match closed with 
the two teams tied for first place with scores of 1,010 each. The 
District of Columbia team were declared the winners, as its score of 
333 at the OOOyds, range was 9 points better than that made by the 
Georgia men at the same distance. Below are the conditions under 
which the Hilton trophy is shot for, and the scores made at the 
various distances by the teams that took part in the contest: 
Hilton Trophy Match.— Open to teams of twelve from the army of 
the United States, th« Onited folates Navy, the National Guard or 
uniformed militia of the several States and Territories, including the 
District of Columbia; also the regular army, the militia, the volun-

medal to each member of the winning team,

FOURTH DAT, SEPT. 4. 
This was a New York day on the range at Sea Girt. Sergt, Dolan, of 
the Twelfth Regiment, N. G. N. Y., captured the prize in the Presi- 
dent's match, and with it won the title of military champion of the 
United States. He won his honor by the scanty margin of 3 points, 
Sergt. Huddleson, of Massachusetts, and Pvt. Austin, of Georgia, tie- 
ing for second place with scores of 89 each against Sergt. Dolan's 
score of 93. The first stage of the contest is 10 shots each at 200 and 
SOOyds.; the five best scores in this stage being entitled to shoot in the 
second stage at 500 and eOOyds., 10 shots at each distance. The five 
men entitled to shoot in the second stage were the three above named 
and Lieut. F. C Wilson, of Georgia, and Lieut. Young, of Company A, 
Engineer Corps, D. C. Lieut. Wilson made the high score of 93 at the 
first stage and shot up well in the SOOyds. series, but fell down on the 
600yds. range. Last year's winner was Sergt. Boyle, also of the

In the contest to-day for the Hayes medal, Capt. George T. Cann, 
of Georgia, took a firm grip on the medal with a clean score of 70, 
making 14 buUseyes in succession, as well as two more bulls as sigtit- 
ing shots. This contest was 7 shots at 500yd8. and 7 at OOOyds. Capt. 
Cann's score is a record for this range. 
FIFTH DAT, SBPT, 5. 
This was the worst day of the week for good scores, A strong wind, 
amounting at times almost to a gale, blew in from the sea and made 
accurate work at the longer ranges something that was almost im- 
possible. 
The honors of the day rested with Capt. George Cann, of Georgia, 
who won the Wimbledon cup with a total score of 109. The condi- 
tions of this contest were 30 shots at 1,000yds., any rifle within the 
rules, cleaning allowed, any position without artificial rest. Capt. 
Cann shot one of the Winchester military rifles; Ferd Van Dyke, who 
represented the Winchester Reppating Arms Go, at Sea Girt, being 
much tickled thereat. Military rifles received a handicap of 18 points, 
special military rifles a handicap of 6 points. The following were the 
scores: 
Wimbledon Cup Match— Open to all citizens and residents of the 
United States. Distance, 1,000yds. ; 80 shots. Weapon, any rifle within 
the rules; cleaning allowed. Position, any without artificial rest.

The New York Recorder speaks of the revolver matches at Sea Girt 
as championship affairs. Of course all this is foolish, and neither the 
contestants nor management make any such claim. There has only 
been one championship for revolver shooting in the United States — the 
Winans Trophy contest, held under the management of Forest and 
Stream— and there is only one champion, Capt. Wm. E. Petty.
