The Almy Water Tube Boiler Co. has Issued a very neat catalogue 
of its boilers, which are now in high favor with yachtsmen. The Arm 
has now in hand a new boiler for the yacht Puzzle, It is also making 
a new feed water regulator for stationary and marine boilers. , 
The Seawanhaka Cor. Y. C. has just leased a large city house on 
the north side of Twenty-second street, east of Broadway, and will 
soon be once more established in permanent town quarters. The 
house will be fitted up specially for the accommodation of the club, 
with billiard room, meeting and lecture rooms, etc., and,^in addition, 
the rooms on the upper floors will be rented to members. 
The Lincoln Park Y. C. has joined in the general movement for a 
consolidation of all the Chicago yacht clubs. At the regular monthly 
meeting at the Sherman House on Oct. 13 a committee was appointed 
to confer with the committees from the Columbia and the Chicago 
clubs to take steps toward that end. The committee consists of Geo. 
Warrington, Thos. Simpson and C. O. Andrews. At present no 
definite plans for consolidation have been evolved, but It is hoped to 
unite under the common name of the Chicago Y. C if the charter can 
be procured. Little other business was done except the election of 
the following new members: Qen. J. T. Torrence, F. L Danforth and 
F. Matherson. The committee will report on the matter of consolida- 
tion at the next monthly meetinsi — Chicago Record. 
On the morning of Oct. 11, while the big northeaster was at its 
hpight,. the steam yacht Oneida, with ex-Com. Benedict aboard, ar- 
rived at Greenwich to lay up. D ring the morning the sloop Addle O., 
of Greenwich, with her owner, W. B. Oweus, and four others aboard, 
started out for a sail, and when oflE Captain's Island she was completely 
overpowered by the sea, her crew losing all control of her. Seeing 
her danger from the shore, Com. Benedict called hia captain and one 
of Oneida's crew and put out in the small vapor launch to the rescue. 
After much difiQculty and danger a line was finally passpd to the 
sloop and an attempt was made to tow her into Greenwich, but in the 
faee of the gale and with the sloop partly waterlogged, the launch 
was vmable to make way, and both boats were in danger of going on 
the rocks. Their position was seen by the crew of the Oneida and the 
larger launch was sent out, a second line was passed to the sloop and 
the two launches towed her into the harbor. 
The proposals for amendment of the A. C. A. rules which 
we publish this week suggest that this work is now in order, 
and that all having proposal.^ to he laid before the executive 
committee next month at the annual meeting should submit 
them immediately to E B. Edwards, chairman of the re- 
gatta committee, Petersborough, Canada, In order to be 
acted on at the meeting, such pioposals must be incorporated 
in the report of the regatta committee and published in the 
Forest and Stkeam lor two weeks previous to the meet- 
ing. Through neglect on one hand or the other, this is sel- 
dom done, tne work of amending the rules being lef c to a 
mail vote. 
We would suggest to all who have proposals to submit that 
they look up the Year Book and make their proposals in the 
form of a carefully worded amendment to the proper rule, 
iuatead of a mere general suggestion that a change be 
made. 
A. C. A. Racing Rules. 
Editor Forest and Stream; 
Mr. R. O. King, of the Toronto C, C, now residing in Cambridge, 
Mass., suggests the following changes in the rules governing paddling 
races: 
Referring to A. 0. A. Year Book, 1896: 
I. For events 15. 17, 19, 23, 28, 24, 35, 87, 28 and upset race, canoes 
not to be more than 16ft. long, nor less than 30in. beam, nor less than 
12in. deep. Weight not less than 401b3. Single blades only to be 
used. 
N. B.— In the upset race double blades might be allowed if decked 
canoes enter. 
H. For Event 4 canoes must not be more than IGft. long, nor less 
than 28In, beam, nor less than Sin. deep. No limit to weight. Smgle 
or double blades. 
III. Events 26 and 18— Canoes not to be more than 20ft. long, nor less 
than 12in. deep, nor less than 30in. beam, nor less than 701bs. in 
weight. 
Rule I. has been in force in Montreal and vicinity for a number of 
years and has given great satisfaction. 
Rule II has not been changed except to be made more definite. In 
fact, very few changes have been made that will rule out any existing 
canoes. The whole has been made definite, which, as will be admitt€d 
by those reading the present rules, is a very desirable thing'.

Shell Mound. 
San Francisco, Oct. 13.- -Many marksmen visited Shell Mound 
Range yesterdsy. The weather conditions were only fair until late 
In the afternoon, when they improved. The most notable score made 
was that of F. O Young. With a Sharps military rifle on the circu- 
lar Sin. buDseje he made 49 out of 50 possible. 
Enthusiasm among the members of the Columbia Pistol efnd Rifle 
Club was at a high pitch. In this club there is a lively contest among 
the ladies for the trophy presented by William Glindernann ; and it 
was acknowledged that the score of 86 made two weeks ago by Mrs. M. 
J White would be very hard to beat. Mrs. Crane started out yester- 
day with the determination to better the ^eore, which she did, by Creed- 
moor rules. She tied Mrs. White's score on points Bnd beat it with 
a 8, where in the other score there was a 6, Mrs. 0. F. Waltham has also 
entered the competition, and promises to put up a good score before 
the ye<»r is over. Mrs. L. D. Aflam and Mrs. J. P. Cosgrave are also 
among the most enthusiastic of rifle shots, and give promise of be- 
coming experts ere long.

Revolver Shooting in England. 
London, England, Sept. 25.— On Sept. 22 the South London Rifle 
Club had its usual weekly shoot at Staines's ranees The wind blew 
half a gale, and made revolver work very uncertain. Early in the 
day it was calmer, and Mr. Howe took advantage of the lull to put on 
a 41 at 20yds,; and a few hours later Mr. Winans, during a lull, made 
The best on record score ''or the two ranges, 20 and SOyds , na follows: 
50yds 677667-89 20yds 777676-40-79 
He put on four more bulleeyes after he had finished the score. The 
rest of the day the wind utterly prevented any accuracy in revolver 
shooting. Below are details of score:

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club seo'etaries 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 ns divided unless otherwise reported. 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, SkS 
Broadway, New York, 
The Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N J., has issued the follow- 
ing circular in regard to Its two days' shoot, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 
23-24; "We, the Endeavor Gun Club, ot Jersey City, N. J., herewith 
beg to notify yo" that we are about to give a two davs' shoot for 
merchandise prizes, for the benefit of amateurs. We fully appreciate 
the desire for a shoot of this kind, and have therefore set about to 
obtain prizes for this occasion, and our success has been far beyond 
our anticipations. Among the many prizes received up to date (Oct. 
1) are two handsome silver cups, a repeating shotgun, a pearl scarf 
pin, a case of wine, bicycle tires, paintings, carving seta, hunting 
shoes, Bhooting jackets, clothing, and other valuable prizes too 
numerous to mention here. The main event each day will be a 100- 
biuerock handicap shoot, in which every amateur trap-shooter will 
have an equal chance to win a prize. The entrance fee for these 
events will be the cost of targets onlyr If you are a 50 per cent, man 
you will be allowed to shoot at enough extra targets to put you on an 
equal basis with the best man in your club; thus we will give you a 
chance to win as good a prize as your neighbor. Besides the lOO bird 
event, two extra events of smaller size will be shot, in all of which we 
oflfer nice and suitable prizes for sportsmen. Our programme, which 
will give a full list of prizes, will be ready about Oct. 15, and can be 
had for the asking. Entries for the lOO-bird event must be in by Oct. 
32, and shooters must be on the grounds read.y to shoot at 12:30 each 
day or forfeit their right to shoot. We will also give prizes each day 
to the club sending in the largest number of entries for the event. 
Remember that all this shooting will mean an outlay to you only for 
the price of targets at 2 cents each. Remember the dates, Friday, 
Oct. 28, and Saturday, Oct. 24, at Marion, N. J." 
It is hard luck to lose a good story. Good stories are hard enough 
to get anyhow, and It's tough to have to give one up. Harry P. Fes- 
BeDden,oneof the shooting stars of the Emerald Gun Club, of New 
York, has just returned from a camping trip with one of the best 
moose stories we have ever heard. We had written that story up in 
our beat style, making up by elegance of diction for the loss of action 
with which the story is replete when told by the hero. The story, 
however, will never see light in these columns now— but it's not our 
fault. The following postal card is the cause for its consignment to 
oblivion and the waste basket: "New York, Oct. IS.— Editor Forest 
and Stream: Dear Sir— Mr. Ed. Banks has some information in re- 
gai d to a moose hunt I had in . Please instruct him to publish 
nothing about it^ and oblige H. P. Fessenden," Such is fate, and 
posterity, as well as ourselves, suflfers. 
The Endeavor Gun Club, of Marjon, N. J., and the East Side Gun 
Club, of Newark, N. J , have arranged a series of the best two in 
three matches at live birds. The conditions of the races are 15 birds 
per man, 6 men to a team, 28yd8. nse, 50yd8. boundary, A. S. A. rules 
to govern except as to boundary, losing team to pay for the birds. 
These matches were the outcome of an informal meeting that took 
place after the team race at targets between the two clubs, which was 
shot on the Bast Side Club's grounds Thursday afternoon, Oct. 16. 
Capt. Piercy, of the Endeavors, won the toss for choice of grounds 
for the first shoot; as a result the first match will be shot on the 
Marlon grounds, the probable date being Thursday, Nov. 19. 
The Austin Powder Co., through its agent, J. L. Winston, has do- 
nated to the End"avor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., a cup to be 
competed for on Nov. 3 on the grounds of that club. The shoot is to 
take place nt 1 P M., the conditions being 50 targets per man, expert 
rule. The winner of the cup is liable to challenge every thirty days, 
but the cup finally becomes the absolute property of any one success- 
fully defending his title to the cup for a perioa of six consecutive 
months. The entrance fee for the above 50-target race Is only $5, 
which sum includes the price of the targets and shells to be used in 
the shoot. The '"147" load must be used by all contestants. 
Mr. C. J. De Roo, secretary of the Holland (Mich.) Gun Club, sends 
us the f dlowing item of news: "The Holland Gun Club, of Holland, 
Mich., has accepted a challenge from the Valley City Gun Club, of 
Grand Rapids, Mich., to shoot for State teum championship and 
Shooting and Fishing silver trophy on Friday, Oct. 30, 10 A. M,, at 
the Holland Gun Club grounds. A programme has been arranged 
for sweepstake shooting to come off after the main event, and shoot- 
ing men are invited to take part." 
Forest and Stream has always advocated team races between 
local clubs. Such meetings are of the utmost benefit, not only in 
keeping up the enthusiasm of club members in trap-shooting, but 
they also do much good by bringing together men who would other- 
wise probably never meet, but who, having a mutual bond in their 
love of the gun, form friendships that outlast the days when they- 
"break 'em all." 
The new club house and grounds of the Herron Hill Gun Club, of 
Pittsburg, Pa,, have proved an entire success. A large sum of money 
has been laid out on them, but every penny is stated to have been 
well spent, while all of the app'^intments are of the very highest 
order. The members find no trouble now in being able to shoot a 
live-bird match on the shortest notice, while the target shooting mem- 
bers have also been well looked after. 
Five tournaments are scheduled for next week: Oct 26-27, Red 
Owl Gun Club, of Liberty, Ind ; Oct. 27-28, Elizabeth, N. J., Gun 
Club's eighth bi monthly; Oct. 88-39, Iron City Gun Club's third an- 
nual, atlronton, O. ; Oct. 29, Macon, Ga , Gun Club's all-day shooc at 
live bu"ds; Oct. 29-30, tournament at Dexter Park, L. I,, under the 
auspices of the Emerald Gun Club, of New York city. 
Charles Zwirlein, of Yardville, N, J,, has been making some big im- 
provements in his pigeon coops, having built them 30ft. longer, with 
a cage of wire netting, in which the birds can take all the exercise 
necessary to keep them in good health and condition. He wiltes us 
that he has a lot of fine birds on hand, and only wants some one to 
come down and try them. 
The Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N J., defeated the East 
Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J , in the second team shoot between 
the two clubs, making the score 3 straight for the Endeavors. The 
conditions were 25 targets per man, known traps and angles, 6 men to 
a team. The Endeavors wou by 14 breaks. The best scores made 
for the winning team were Collins and Edwards 24 each, Schorte- 
meler 28 
Preparations for Charlie Zwirlein 's big Jive-bird shoot at the Inter- 
state Fair Grounds, Trenton, N. J,, Dec. 1-3, are progressing favor- 
ably. The large majority of those to whom letters have been sent 
asking them to take part in the shoot have not as yet had time to 
answer the questions put to them. Jim Elliott, who has left for the 
West, stated positively that if the championship event was a go he 
would come from Kansas City to take part in it. 
It seems a hard matter to galvanize that slumbering organization 
the New Jersey State Association, into life. We have, however, better 
hopes now of seeing New Jersey once more in line, ,A meeting will be 
called at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, in the; near future, at which 
a sohd movement will be made with a view to holding a State shoot in 
Jersey under the auspices of a State organization. 
The Endeavor Gun Club's merchandise shoot on Friday and Satur- 
day of this week should be well attended. Experts are to be heavily 
handicapped, which means that the weaker brethren will have every 
chance to win a good prize on a small investment. It is worth $2 any- 
how to see how many targets you can break out of four 25-target 
events. 
Tn regard to a Driver and Twister that appeared in last week's issue 
Paul North writes ua as follows: "If anybody mistook you for the 
writer, or got the writer mixed up with Jack Robbins, we do not see 
any necessity for heralding the fact broadcast throughout the trap- 
shooting fraternity. The writer has some little reputation left, and 
Wishes to have it carefully guarded. Any more breaks of this nature 
will be thoroughly revenged." 
There will be a 25bird race at the grounds of' the Elizabeth (N. J ) 
Gun Club on Wednesday, Oct. 31, the second day of the elub'B 
bi-monthly shoot. The conditions are: .25 Yiee birds, :$10. bird« 
nxtra, handicap risti, ITnder IS entries, a monaya; over 12 entrlea, 
4 moneys.
