A Successful One-Desi^ Class. 
■ Dtirins the past season the Oohasset- Y. C, of Cohaaset, Mass , has 
held a number ot races for the one-design class, of which ten boata 
were built last spring. These boats were built by James Mclntyre 
from the designs of the original Scarecrow, as published in the 
T'oRBST AND Stream, but were rigged with the Kaff mainnail instead of 
the Scarecrow leg o' mutton. Apart from the actual racing, they 
have proved most serviceable for sailing. The following account is 
by W. E. Eobinson in the Boston Olobe; 
" Although the Oohasset half-raters are not speedy enough to com- 
pete successfully with El Heirie, Glencairn, and Che fastest of the 
class, they are si ill fast and handy little boats, and have admirably 
eerved the purpose for which they were built. The racing of the sea- 
son at Cohasset has been even more interesting than was anticipated 
when the boats were ordered, and the members of the syndicate 
which built them are to be congratulated on the succesBful carrying 
out of the "one class, one-design" idea. 
Cluh sport has been promoted, no little amateur talent in skillful 
belrasmanship and handling has been brought out and improved, and 
a foundation has been laid tor even better sport in seasons to come. 
Interest in the class and in its racing was not very great at the flrst 
of the season, but it increased very rapidly until boats were at a pre- 
jmium and the entire fleet of ten boats were found competing in ihe 
races. Since the boats were built from the same set ot moulds, and 
were in every way exactly alike when delivered from the builders' 
hands, the question of winning has been largely one of good handling 
and attention to details. And in this tact has largely lain the interest 
aroused. It has been a contest of skippers as well as boats to more 
fhan the ordinary degree, yet the best of feeling has prevaUed in the 
friendly rivalry, while at the same time no racing points have been 
ueglected. 
f9 Built from designs by W. P. Stephens, after his well-known Scare- 
crow model, the boats were flrst intended for centerboards, but were 
afterward fitted with fln-keels, making them practically non-capsiz- 
able. and better fitting them for use in the frequently rough waters of 
Ctohasset and its vicinity. The flns were made to hoist, so that the 
boats might lie easily on the flats in the harbor at low tide, but in rac- 
ing all hoisting of the flns has been barred, so that all have sailed on 
an equality In the matter of draft, etc- 
When fairly in trim the boats proved themselves easily handled, 
well balanced and decidedly attractive craft to manage, and the sport 
was in no way lessened by the possession of these and other good 
qualities. 
The racing of the boats, while under club auspices, has been con- 
trolled by the association formed by the owners, and special care haa 
been taken that no undue advantage has been given one over another. 
Thirteen races in all have been sailed, and the accompanying tables 
show what has been accomplished. The racing has been accompanied 
by the usual good and bad fortune to individual boats and owners, 
but the interest haa never flageed, and no boat in the class could be 
reckoned a sure winner in a given kind of weather. 
A championship trophy of some kind will be awarded the winning 
boat, and in theaward of that championship the percentage system of 
the Yacht Racing Association of Massachusetts has been adopted by 
the owners' association. The first table gives the boats in their order 
under this system, showing starts, percentage, number of times fifth 
place or better was secured, etc. No boat is recorded as securing a 
place unless she defeated a competitor. The table speaks for itself:

For" a "beVtCT comparison, however, of the work of the boats, a 
"cross" table, as used by the writpr for several years in the records of 
the knockabout and other classes, has been prepared. This shows 
inst the number of times each boat has beaten or has been beaten by 
every other boat in the fleet. A boat's wins over other boats show in 
the horizontal columns, her losses in the vertical ones, The compari- 
son is thus a very close one, and enablea the owner to see just what 
his boat has done. , , . ^ . ^v. i. < 
In this table the boats are ranked in the order of the number of 
series won or lost with each of their competitors. The order would 
be the same on a percentage of wins to losses. The winning, losing 
or tieing of the vEirious series is as follows: 
Swallow won 9; Hoodoo won 7, lost 2; Mermaid won 6, lost 2, tied 1; 
Scooter won 6, lost 3; Honey won 4, lost 4, tied 1; Bee won 4, lost 5; 
Blink won 3, lost 4, tied 2; Mungo won 2, lost 6, tied 1; Jap won 1, lost 
7, tied 1; Seagull lost 9. 
With these explanations the table will speak for itself:

Scooter. 1 6 
Bee 0 3 
Blink 3 9 
Honey I * 
Mungo * 1 
Jap * 3 
Beaffull ...... 1 
When the racing of the boats has been of so friendly a charccter, it 
is perhaps just as well not to institute Invidious comparisons. The 
o^ers have raced for sport alone, and have taken their chances of 
good and bad fortune as they came. The racing has not discouraged 
anyone, but has stimulated ambition to hold a better place in next 
Beason's record if possible. , „ . j , ^ j 
A continuance of the class and of its racing is already assured. 
Several new beats are in sight, and they will be built after the same 
style as the others, and probably from the same moulds, which Mcln- 
tyre still baa ua his shop. . . ^ 
A different sail plan may indeed be found on the boata next seaaon, 
but if one has it all will have it. In the last race the owxier of Honey 
tried a mainsail similar to that on Glencairn, Spruce IIII. and other 
racers, a modification of the lug and a great favorile for small craft 
in British waters. , ^ , • j j i 
With its high peak the sail proved a better one for windward work 
than the old one, as well as being in several wavs a much handier one, 
and it would not be surprising t" see this rig adopted for the class. 
For the award of the championship next season, plan has already 
been proposed which will put a high premium on entering in every 
race and this, with other things the owners have m mind,, shows that 
their interest in this class is a genuine one.

Small Tachts. 
Ftom Com. C. S. Rackivell, United States Navy. 
TJ. S. Naval Station, Port Royal, 8. C, Oct. 2.— "Small Yachts" 
came yesterday. It is far and awiiy beyond my most fervent hopes. 
I am an old-fashioned sailor, and the book Is a great delight to me. 
My daughter says that no one can get an answer from me now until 
I get through poring over the book. 
I am just now engaged in turning a flne sailing launch into a per- 
ambulating house-boat and shall get many wrinkles from that ad- 
mirable book.

Wanda, steam yacht. Henry 8. Henry, of Philadelphia, haa been 
libelled by the Harian & HoUingsworth Co. for ctoarges of $12,135 for 
repairs. She is laid up at Manning's Basin, where she was seized on 
Sept. 24 by a deputy marshal. She has since b(3en libelled by J. R. 
Hudson for the sum of $319. 
The New York Y. C. will in the future have a triangular course off 
Newport, Lieut. Jame a H. Bull, U. S. N., having at the requeat of the 
club just laid oft a ne'w course with ten-mile legs. It will probably 
replace the old Sow aiod Pigs and Block Island courses of the club, 
sailed for so many, yeiira. It will be known as Course No. 6. 
The new name of thn steam yacht TJnquowa is Buccaneer, given her 
by her new owner, W. R. Hearst. The yacht ia now at Tebo's, under 
the charge of Chief Hailbron. formerly of Vamoose whon Mr. Hearst 
built and owned her. Buccaneer has been thoroughly refitted and 
very much improved; the main saloon has been handsomely fitted up 
in carved oak. The yacht will make a cruise to the West Indies in & 
short time. 
The annual handbook for yachtsmen, "Who Won?" compiled by 
Capt. J. C. Summers aiid published by Edward Yeomana Thorp, is 
now out for 1896, with the usual amount of useful information as to 
yachts, yacht clubs, sjgnala, records, etd. The yacht list contains 
dimensions of over 5,000 American yachts, and 2,00C> private signals 
are shown In the colored platea, beaidea the many cluib flags. The mis- 
cellaneous tables contain much information pertaining to yachting 
and nautical matters, making a yery convenient and valuable refer- 
ence book, 
A new steam yacht has been designed by C. D. Mosher for O. R. 
Flint, and will be built this winter. She will be 122ft. l.w.l. and 12ft. 
6in. beam, and intended for a speed ot 38 miles.

DR1VEJ?S AND TWISTERS. 
Chib secretari'es are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
Ties in all events are considered as divi'l-ed unless otlierwise reported. 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, SAS 
Broadway, New York. 
Trap-shooters in Richmond, Va., are said to need some stirring. 
Below is a brief account of a shoot held there Sept. 26, furnished us by 
a correspondent in that city: "The biggest shooting event ever held 
here took place at the West End Baseball Park, Saturday, Sept. 26. 
Many of the most rromtnent shooters In this city took part. Shoot- 
ing commenced at 1:30 P. M. and continued until dark. Two hundred 
and twenty-five live birds and many targets were released, but only a 
few succeeded in making their escape. The flrst event was at 25 live 
birds, 30yd8. rise, 70yds. boundary. The winner of this event scored 
22, which must be considered a good score for an amateur. The sec- 
ond event was at 10 live birds, same rise and boundary. The winner 
scored 10 straight, Messrs. T. W. Tignor's Sons, sporting goods deal- 
ers of this city, donated as a prize a handsome gun case. Everybody 
wanted to win it, but only one man was able to lay claim to it, and he 
carried off most ot the prizes that day. The shoot was a success in 
every respect except that the public took little interest in it. The 
managers of the affair hope to have a larger crowd present to witness 
their next efforts." 
The ninth annual tournament of the Iroquois Rifle Club, of Pitts- 
burg, Pa., will be held Oct. 12-15. The programme for trap-shooters 
is not extensive, but the rifle programme ia a good one. For the trap- 
shootera wbo are not members of the club Thursday, Oct. 15, is the 
only day. On that date there will be twelve events shot; ten of them 
will be at 15 bluerocks and two at 10 bluerocks. The 10-target events 
are $1.20 entrance; the 15-target events are $1.50 entrance. There will 
be a handicap for shooters, which runs as follows: "Class A will shoot 
from known traps and unknown angles; Class B will shoot from 
known traps and angles. Shooters in Class B winning or dividing 
flrst money will be advanced one class, and shootera In Class A failing 
to win In one event will shoot from the next lower class. Money

The dates for the tournament to be held at Ironton, O., under the 
auspices of the Iron City Gun Club, have been changed to Oct. 28-29. 
Mr. H. E. Norton, of that club, writes us under date of Oct. 2 as fol- 
lows: "The dates for the Iron City Gun Club's tournament have 
been changed to one week later, owing to the Louiaville tournament 
being held on the aame datea as those we had chosen. Programmes 
-will be mailed Oct. 8 and the tournament will take place Oct. 28-29. 
Quite a number from Marietta, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Ports- 
mouth and Huntington will be present, and the club has every reason 
to believe that the shoot will be a success In every way. The live-bird 
match between Messrs. West and Verges vs. Stevens and Clarke will 
be shot the last Afternoon for a purse of $400, and will be well worth 
seeing." 
George Cubbei'ly Uifl some capital shooting at Charlie Zwi'Ieln's 
grounds, Yardville, T!^. J., Oct. 2. He shot in 7 miss-and-outs, $5 en- 
trance, and scored S5 out of 57. He divided 5 of the events, running 
at one time 40 straight. Winston also did good work; he shot at 41 
birds and scored every one of them except the last one. Among those 
who took part in tbe s weeps was Jack Brewer, Bland Ballard, James 
Timmons, Eddie BCill, 1, V?. Budd and Charlie Zwh-leln. 
The W. Fred'Quimby Co,, the New York end of the Hunter Arms 
Co., the Empire Target Co. and the Hunter bicycle, has removed its 
headquarters to 300 Broadway, three doors above Its old stand at 
294. Fred will be found for a short time at least in the rear of the 
store at the above number. The cause of this removal is the plan 
for erecting one of New York's sky-scrapern on the site of his old 
location. 
NoelE Money, secretary of the American E. C. Powder Co , was 
unlucky enough to run a nail into his foot on Sept. 25. The wound 
was not only painful, but a severe one, Mr. Money being unable as yet 
to wear a shoe on the injured foot. The accident came at a bad time, 
as it has delayed his starting on a trip to Maine to school his foxhound 
puppies on Maine foxes prior to the trials of the Brunswick Fur 
Club. 
The Rose system was given a good trial at the Pennsylvania State 
shoot at Harrisburg last week, and stood the test very well. That 
shooters know a good thing when once they have tried it is plainly 
shown by the fact that few programmes reach us now that do not 
include the sentence: "The Rose system of dividing purses will be 
used at this tournament." 
The series of Interclub team races that was gotten up by the Cook 
County Trap-Shooters' League, of Chicago, has proved even more 
successful than its promoters had hoped for. Nothing booms the 
sport better than friendly team races between clubs conveniently 
located for such gatherings. 
Mr. E. A. Worthen, president of the Lake Side Rod and Gun Club, 
Burlington, Vt., says in a personal letter to us, dated Oct. 3: "Mr. B. 
H. Norton, of the Hazard Powder Co., was here this week and made 
one of our party at the Cambridge tournament. We made a great 
efllort, but the wind played the dickens with the scores." 
The return match between J. L Winston, of the Austin powder, and 
Gustave Langen, who shoots under the name of Count, which was 
arranged to take place last week at Yardville, N. J., did not come off 
owing to Langen having hurt hia arm. It will take place, however, 
some day this week at the same place. 
The programme for the Marlon merchandise shoot, to be held by 
the Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 23-24, is one that 
should attract a lot of shooters of the amateur class. The manage- 
ment of the club is making strenuous efforts to have the affair a 
complete success. 
Paul Iiitzke writes us that, though the South has had a lot of tour- 
naments this year, trap-shooting is scarcely on the wane, several 
tournaments being on the list for the next few weeks. There is very 
little going on in the way of trap-shooting in the South that Paul does 
not get wind of. '
