FOREST AND STREAM, 
879 
still faster and faster we flew, tearing through the wave 
crests with a rush that sent them driving off in a foamy curl 
that rose clear above the leeward deck and yet touclied it not. 
Then when we were caught on the advancing front of a 
swell the wave motion seemed to carry us forward with such 
a breathless rush that the spinaker would momentarily fall 
into a bag and the water boil under the counter with a not« 
of distant, muffled thunder. The exhilaration' of the rushing, 
swooping motion and the sparkling life of the lake acted on ua 
like strong wine, and we laughed and shouted and sang like 
very schoolboys let loose on an unexpected holiday. 
As we passed the lighthouse and the holiday makers on 
the point the waves and wind were still increasing, and I 
said to Vic: ""VVe can't begin to carry this canvas on the 
wind; we'll go down the bay with a flowing main sheet or 
I'm no prophet." 
He glanced at the canvas, then over the stern to windward 
and said-: "We'll be lucky to reach our mooring without 
dropping it altogether or else reefing. But what of that? 
our record's to the Western gap." 
The Queen's wharf was made at 3:20 P. M., which meant 
a run of thirty miles in five hours and twenty minutes 
As the breakwater bore abeam we clipped the wings of 
our flying sea horse by dropping the spinaker, and then 
waiting for a smooth went about, not daring to jibe with 
such a strong wind and in the midst of the pyramidal 
jump of water caused by the back wash from the piers. The 
wind from the lake had rolled back the smoke from the 
city, arid old Toronto in the fresh, cbar air, bright with her 
waving trees and holiday bunting, looked indeed the Queen 
City of the Lake. Many white wings dotted the expanse of 
the bay, but no craft seemed able to carry all lower canvas, 
and single and double reefs seemed in general favor. As for 
us, we were elad to run down the bay witti main sheet well 
eased off, then lower mainsail, and run into our boat 
hotise slip under mizzen and jib. After canvas had been 
stowed and dunnage landed, I turned to Vic and said: "Are 
you satisfied with the run?" 
He replied: "It was the sail of a lifetime," and I agreed 
with him, J. Edw' . Maybee. 
laarchmont Y. C. 
A SPKOiAii meetine: of the Larchmont Y. C. was held on Oct. 28 at 
Delmonico's, witb Com. Qillig in the chair, the object being to adopt 
the proposed amendments to the racing riilea. All of the proposals 
were adopted, though several changes of detail were made in the 
course o£ the meeting. The rules in use for the past two seasons 
have bften changed in many ways that experience has shown desir- 
able, and the proposed amend Jienta covered a lai'ge number of de- 
tails. The clas«iflcation has been revised, the limits having already 
appeared in the Forest and Stream. This classifleition is practically 
Ufliform with the New York Y. O. and the Yacht Bacing Uaioa! The 
ISCt. class has been dropped, the smallest being tne 20 rt., and all of 
the special classes, the 34ft., 30Et,, etc., have been dropped, the boats 
henceforth taking their places according to measurement In the 
regular classes. This is a good change. Whatever the special classes 
may have done for racing in the past few seasons, it is apparent that 
their usefulness has departed, that much more is to be gained by 
strengthening and buildine up a number of regular classes. The 
plan of designating each class by a letter of the commercial code has 
been adopted, but with it the old and confusing system of arbitrary 
names for the classps ha8"been retained. Th« practical result of this 
system Is apparent in reading over the rules; the statement that a 
yacht in Class Q shall do one thing and a yacat in Class Q shall do 
another conveys of itself no information whatever unless u man has 
memorized the whole list or has it in his hand. It would have been 
quite as direct, concise and simple to use the terms 70/t. class, .30ft. 
Class, etc. In connection with the classiflcaUon it is provided that 
the regatta committt«, with the approval of the commodore, may 
establish special classes for any regatta. 
The limitation of draft is identical with that previously adopted by 
the New York Y. 0.; in fact, though the proposed limitation was first 
actually adopted by the New York Y. C , the idea originated within 
the Larchmont Y. 0,, and ihat club is entitled to all of the credit for 
it. The following proviso, however, was added to avoid the blunder 
made In passing the rule in the New York Y, C. : 
"But this limit shall not apply to any yachts in existence at the time 
of the passage of these amendments when racing lu the class in which 
she was cl'sslfled prior to this time." 
"This exception, however, shall not be so construed as to permit a 
vessel launched prior to Oct. 28, 1896, to increase her draft beyond the 
limit allowed for her class. 
As already noted, the rule as passed by the New York Y. C. ia so 
worded as to allow the deepening to an unlimited extent of an exist- 
ing yacht; for instance, it would be possible, so far as the rule goes, 
to rebuild Emerald, making her a bulb-fln of any extreme draft. 
The allowance for rig and the measurement rules are both un- 
changed; except for the proviso that in classes P, Q, 8, Y and V, 
which we find by reference to page 4, are the 25 and Soft, classes of 
sloops and the three catboat classes, over 25ft., 25tt. and 20ft , the 
measurement shall be taken with a weight on board equal to 150lba. 
fur each man allowed for crew. Unfortunately this excellent regula- 
tion is not extended to cover the larger class and all rigs, as might 
easily be done at the present time, but is left to the future, when it 
vpill be infinitely more difflcult. Provision is now made for the deposit 
of the lines of winning yachts wiih the club, with the privilege of 
making models therefrom for the club's collection. The privilege of 
copying such lines or models is accorded to "the United States Naval 
Constructor." 
The allowance table stands as it was, but three very important stipu- 
lations have been added: one that no new yacht launched after Nov. 1, 
1896, shall be entitled to time allowance in her class, except the largest 
and unlimited class of each rig; another that in the Cise of old yachts 
going up a class they shall assume the mean racing length of the 
class; and a third designed to keep existing yachts in their present 
classes. The flrsc proposition is an excellent one, long advocated by 
the FoRKST AND Stream In connection with the one-gun start; all times 
taken trom the gun aad the first yacht over the line at the finish being 
the winner. This will do much to strengthen the classes and to im- 
prove the quality of the racing, as it will effectually bar the building 
of yachts well under fhe class limit for the sake of the allowance. 
The second proviso is worded as follows: "Any yacht alone in her 
class may sail in the class next above, but in such case such yacht 
shall assume and be entered as of the mean racing length specified 
for the class in which she so enters; but this shall not be so construed 
as to permit a sloop, cutter or yawl to ent«r in a schooner class." This 
new section i« merely in accord with the idea of class racing without 
time allowance; it puts a heavier penalty than ever before imposed 
on a smaller yacht which goes up into a larger class. 
It is B question whether the rule migut not well be made even 
stronger, 80 as to present entirely a smaller yacht from going above 
her own class and possibly spoiling some very good racing in a larger 
one. In the past, with an infinite number of classes between the 
numerous clubs and comparatively few yacnts in any one class, it was 
desirable to encourage racing by allowing a yacht with no competitor 
io her own class to go into a larger one. In one way no harm was 
done, as every yacht in the larger class gave or took time as well as 
the outsider. Ic is an open face that this privilege of sailing in one 
class or another at will was not infre quently abused in one of several 
ways. The underlying assumption on which all the present changes 
of rules are based is that with fewer and more sharply deflaed classes 
and no time allowance, with a thorough system of atariing, timing, 
signaling, etc., and with a large number of races under uniform rules, 
there will be enough entries in cert.ain favorite classes in almos . every 
race to provide good sport within these classe?. This being ihe cise, it 
is well to put a stop to the practice of going up a class, by which one 
outside yacht, wii ti her allowance, may break up tne racing of half a 
dozen boats of the same measuremeut in the larger class. It of course 
follows that with the withdrawal of the old privilege there must be a 
provision for a "sail-over" prize, as a matter of justice to the owner 
who comes to the line ready to start and has no competitor; but what- 
ever may be urged against sail-over prizes as meaning nothing, the 
use of them is preferable to the alternative of disturbing a num- 
ber of yachts properly in a class for the sake of one that is not 
in It. 
A new addition to the same rule is as follows: Any yacht that in- 
creases her measurements for the purpose of sailing in a class above 
that in whicn she would sail according to the last oQliiial measure- 
ment taken prior to Nov. 1, 1896, shall not be entitled to any time al- 
lowance from other yachts in that class. In practice this, for tn- 
Btancs, would prevent one of the special 30ft. class going into the 36ft. 
class, as it stands to day, with only old or semi-cruising boats, and de 
stroying all racing in the class. It serves. In the transition from old 
rules to new, to keep existing yachts in the classes which they nat? 
urally fit, even though exceedmg, through intention or otherwise, the 
exact limit of the class 
In the rulo relating to entries a very important change was m»de, 
as an amendmnnt to the original proposal: The racing measurement 
of a yacht must be filed with the regatta cnmmittee before 10 o'clock 
on morning of race, and not ten day.s thereafter, as was at first pro- 
p ised. This rule, if rigidly lived up to, as it should and probably will 
be by the Larchmont officials, will work hardship now and then in 
individual caies; but it is a necessary and an excellent one. 
The members in charge of the new amendments are not landsmen, 
but practical yachtsmen with experience both in sailing and in the 
management of regattas; and we do not understand why they have 
used the term "walk-over" in preference to "sail-over," as follows: 
"At Ipast two yachts must start in any one class to entitle a yacht to 
a prize of full value. Should a yacht be obliged to sail alone in her 
class, and shall go over the course of her class, she shall be entitled to 
a prize of one-half the value of the regular prize, and upon same shall 
be inscribed 'Wallr-over Prize.' " The obvious intent of this rule ia 
excellent in connection with the penalty imposed on yachts going up 
into a largeiT class. 
As to bcits, it 18 provided that every yacht in the 60ft. class and 
those abtfve it shall carry a boat on deck. 
The new courses of the club are described at length In the rules, as 
heretofore. After several years of trial the arrangements for signal- 
ing the courses, starting, stopping a race at any time, etc., have been 
brought to a very satisfactory stage of perfection by the club, and 
but few changes have been found necessary. 
One small detail which has been improved is the locating of the 
number and letter above the upper reef points and midway between 
leech and luff. In the matter of crew, there are no restrictions save 
as to number in the classes from J upward, but the smaller classes 
must tie steered and manned by amateurs; yachts in classes K, L, M 
and N being allowed to carry their regular crews, and yachts in classes 
P, Q, S, T and V being allowed one professional. The total number 
of crew Is limited in each class, some changes being made from the 
old limit allowing more men. On yachts in classes N, P, Q, S, T and 
V not more than one lady may be carried. 
Oae of the most important changes is in the manner of starting: 
"All starts for each class shall be what ia known as one-gun starts." 
Arrangements are made for starting each class separately with a five 
minute interval by the successive display of the code signals; for 
instance, the letter N indicates the start for the 30ft. class, and also 
the preparatory for the 36ft. class, which starts five minutes later on 
the display of the letter M; also a preparatorv for the 43ft. class. 
In the racing rules of the road (Rule XXIV.), Sec. 7 has been 
amended by the following addition: "In order to prove beyond ques- 
tion that an overlap has been established the owner or representative 
of the overtaking yacht shall hail the overtaken yacht, stating that 
he has an overlap, and that he shall maintain his rights." Most 
yachtsmen will be able to recall instances within their personal experi- 
ence in which the owner or reoresentative of an overtaking yacht has 
imparted in terms more forcible than polite the information that he 
has an overlap and intends to maintain his rights, but we know of no 
instance on record in which such an assertion, however emphatic, has 
been accepted as proving beyond question that an overlap had been 
established. The new rule introduced a year ago to govern maneu- 
vering at the start ia retained, though open to very serious objection, 
and not yet accepted by any other club. 
The rules as to protest, digqualiflcation, etc., remain unchanged, 
but there is one rule which may work serious injustice, as now 
worded: "A yacht which Phall be disqualified twice in one season 
shall be debarred from sailing in club races for the remainder of the 
season." There is in this wording no recognition of the fact that a 
yacht may innocently disqualify herself in a way that does no injury 
to any other yacht, as by the technical fouling of a mark in touching 
the flag on it; or she may even do so by actual contact with another 
yacht through circumstances for which she is not morally responsible. 
It is certainly not the intent of the rule that two such mishaps early 
in the season should bar a yacht for the remainder of the year. If, as 
would appear, the intent of the rule is to cover only such cases as dis- 
qualification on protest, or by the regatta committee for cause, some 
change of the wording is necessary. 
There a'e two points in the rules which, in our opinion, are open to 
serious criticism: the failure to discriminate between the keel and 
centerboard types in fixing the limits of draft, and the failure to 
measure with crew aboard in the larger classes. Except in these 
points— and unfortunately they are important ones, ia which a mis- 
take now cannot be easily remedied next year or the year after — 
the changes are desirable and likely to prove of great benefit to 
yacht racing, both within the Larchmont Y. C. and throughout the 
Sound.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
H. G. Wheeler, one of the best target and live-bird shooters in 
Massachusetts (and that is saying a good deal, as there are some fast 
ones in tuat State), stopped off for a few days last week on his way 
South for the winter. Mr. Wheeler's health is not of the best, and the 
changeable climate of our Northern winter is too severe for him to 
run any risk by stopping among us for the cold season. He is an en- 
thusiastic whee'man as well as shooter; he rode from Marlboro to 
New York on his bicycle, and expects to make a great part of his 
journey South by means of the same method of locomotion. The 
form he displayed at the Jersey traps during the Elizabeth tourna- 
ment showed us that "Gil" has not forgotten how to break targets 
since we last saw him face the traps in the Hazard tournament at Cin- 
cinnati last May. 
On the afternoon of Election Day the Independent Gun Club, of 
Plainfleld, N. J., and the Dunellen, N. J., Gun Club will shoot the 
fourth match of a series of five arranged between these two clubs. 
As matters stand at present, the Plainfleld club has won two of the 
three already decided. On the same date Henry Weidmever and Val- 
entine Swody will shoot a match at 50 targets for $25 a side. 
The Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis, Ind., Is considering the ' 
question of holding a tournament at sparrows during the week pro- 
ceeding the annual shoot at San Antonio, Texas. The idea is to give 
the Eastern shooters a chance to stop off at Indianapolis on their way 
South and try their hands at the Indianapolis specialties- smoothly 
run tournaments and a sparrow shoot. 
B W. Claridge, of Baltimore, holder of the Du Pont championship 
trophy, has named Nov. 10 as the date for his match with George 
Roll, of Blue Island, 111., tne challenger for the trophy. The condi- 
tions are 50 live birds per man, the shoot to take place on the grounds 
of the Baltimore Shooting Association. It will be remembered that 
after the decision of the Claridge-Maloae match on Oct. 6 J. L. Win- 
ston challenged the winner of the Claridge-Roll match, posting a for- 
feit to bind the challenge. 
As Election Day comes on Tuesday, Forkst and Stream is put to 
press on Monday instead of Tuesday, and a number of scores are held 
over in consequence. Among them is the score of the Mcllhany -Cal- 
houn match for the live-bird championship of Kansas, which was won 
by Mcllhany by a score of 46 to 41.

Elliott Challenges Riley. 
The following letter has been received from J. A. R. E'liott: 
Kansas Ciiy, Mo , Oct. 80 —Editor Forest and Stream: 1 herewith 
inclose cjpy of challenge issued under this date to J E Riley, holder 
of the Kansas City Star Championship Wingshot Cup. By common 
consent, it was agreed that any Kansas City man winning the cup at 
the Missouri Stale shoot should not be harassed by challenges from 
local peopie until ample time and opportunuy had been accorded the 
numerous championship aspirants to challenge the cup holder. About 
six months have elapsed since Mr. Riley has held the trophy, and no 
challenge having been issued him, I consider that it is high time the 
trophy should be called in competition, and accordingly have issued 
the subjoined challenge to Mr. R'ley and await his pleasure as to tuooe
