Atlantic T. C. 
The aaniial meeting of the Atlantic Y. C. was held onB'eb. 
'8 at the Waldorf, with Com. Gould in the chair. The fol- 
lowing officers were elected: Com., George J, Gould, steam 
yacht Atalanta: Vice-Corn., Frederick T. Adams, schr. yacht 
Sachem; Rear Com., BenjaminM. Whitlock, auxiliary yacht 
Hildegarde; Sec'y, Col. David E. Austin; Treas., George H. 
Church; Meas., George Hill; Trustees, J. Rogers Maxwell, 
Philip G. Sanford, Alexander P. Ketchum, Newberry D. 
Lawton, Gen. Thomas L. Watson and Henry B. Howell. 
Membership Committee: Louis F. Jackson, Spencer Swain 
and Henry W. Banks, Jr. Regatta Committee: NeWberty D. 
Lawton, Col, David E. Austen and George W. McNulty. 
The report of the secretary showed a membership of 400 
and a fleet of 234 yachts. The following amendments to the 
rules were passed: 
In Rule 6, Sec. 4, substitute the word "minimum" for 
"mean." 
In Rule 10, at the beginning of the rule, substitute the word 
"prizes" for the words "sail-over prizes," and add at the end 
of said rule the words, "in classes in which three or more 
yachts start a second prize shall be awarded to the second 
boat, and in classes in which five or more yachts start a third 
prize shall be awarded to the third boat." 
In Rule 32 substitute for all that portion of said rule fol- 
lowing subdivision 6 the following: 
"The preparatory signal for the start of the regatta shall 
be given at the time stated in the circular of the race, or at 
^ny even quarter of an hour thereaftei-. The yachts shall 
fee started in divisions to be announced in the circular of the 
irace. The preparatory signal shall be a blue peter, to he 
'displayed for ten minutes, which shall be the preparatory 
interval for the start of the first division. 
"The signal for the statt of the first division shall be a red 
Imll, displayed at the expiration of the preparatbfy interval. 
The sienal for the start of the second division shall be two 
led balls, displayed five minutes after the signal for the start 
'Of the first division. The signal for the start of the third 
■division shall he three red balls, displayed five minutes after 
the signal for the start of the second division. If necessary 
"to start the fleet in more than three divisions, additional 
•signals for the other divisions will be announced by the re- 
igatta committee in the circular for the race. 
Rule 24, Sec. 14, was also amended so as to read: 
"When two or more yachts, in maneuvering for the start, 
are on the same tack, should the leeward yacht be close- 
hauled on the wind, prior to and at the time of an overlap 
being established, such yacht shall have the right to hold her 
course, even if thereby the windward yacht should be forced 
on the wrong side of the starting mark," 
The final steps have been taken for the carrying out of the 
removal of the club to a new station on Norton's Point. A 
most eligible site has been obtained, and a large and com- 
fortable club house will be built, with a basin for the yachts. 
A special steamer service between the station and the city 
win be established. Vice-Com. Adams repeated his gift of 
last year of two cups for sloops and catboats. A vote of 
thanks was passed by the club to Mr. John L. Bliss, of the 
regatta committee, for his labors during the past season. 
Chicago and Western Yachts. 
Chicago, 111., Feb. 13. — It is thought among the yachts- 
men of Chicago that the season of 1897 will be an unusually 
busy one for this city. There is a strong movement on foot 
for the consolidation of all the Chicago yaclit clubs into one 
■ organization, to be known as the Chicago Y. C. Effort 
^would be made to take into this club the smaller bodies of 
lyachtsmen who have boats on the inland lakes of the Wis- 
consin summer country, Oconomowoc, Pewaukee, Geneva 
and other lakes, where a great number of Chicago men are 
interested. Should all these men come into the central or- 
ganization, there would seem a fair chance to unite elements 
'which are now in some cases affected with discordance, and 
to build up a stable interest for these waters, where hereto- 
fore yachting has been but a spasmodic sport at best.

CRUISING INFORMATION. 
In the early days of the American Canoe Association sys 
tematic attempts were made to collect and distribute infor 
mation such as is needed by cruising men. Such a scheme 
as this was at the very foundation of the Association, 
Mr. N. H. Bishop, the organizer of the A. C. A., having long 
been devoted to a study of American waterways. At a time 
when cruising was more general, about 1883^1, many were 
found to furnish inform-^tion as to waters on which they 
had cruised, and there was quite a demand from men about 
to cruise. As the interest in cruising decreased, racing 
alone claiming the time and attention of the leading canoe- 
ists, this work was of necessity neglected, and for ten years 
nothing has been done. The present officers, the commo- 
dore in particular being a cruising man, have decided to 
attempt the revival of the scheme, and to that end have 
just sent ont the following circular: 
GALT, Ont., Jan. 10, 1897.— Fellow Canoeist: It has been 
suggested to the executive ofiicers that the general interest 
of the canoeist in the Year Book of the Association could 
be increased by the publication of a "Cruiser's Guide." We 
wish to publish the names of those who have an acquaint- 
ance with the several waters suitable for cruising, and also 
are willing to supply information to intending cruisers con- 
cerning those waters. 
If you can assist us in this object, we would be pleased to 
have you fill out the accompanying schedule and return it 
as soon as convenient to the address of the Secretary-Treas- 
ujerer, Gait, Ontario, Canada. Thanking you in advance, I 
am yours truly, (Signed) John R. Blake, Sec'y-Treas. 
While we would like to see the scheme succeed, if onlv as 
an indication of a general interest in canoe cruising, we "can 
foresee several difficulties, the main one being ttie small 
number of men who cruise enough to need such information 
for themselves or to obtain it for other.s. The experiment 
may be tried in a way by publishing in the Year Book a list 
of canoeing waters and the men familiar with them; but to 
go into the matter on a really adequate scale, by publishing 
a,yearly guide, would involve an expense out of all propor- 
lon to the good to be derived.

On aionday, Feb. 8, Charley Zettler, of Zettler Bros ' rifle gallery 
had an expetience tbat was a startler About 2:,30 P. M t , ' o stran- 
gers came ii. to tue gallery and gave him to underscaud that they 
wanted to see which of the two was the best shot. As neither of 
them knew a thii g about a rifle, Zettler loaded and cocked it for 
them. Each fired 10 shots, and by some means one of them got a 
bullet somewhere near the center. Hrt won. It was not until the last 
shot wa.s being fired bv the losei- that it was seen what he was doimr- 
He was holding the gun and pointing it down the rauge; with his eye 
glued to the telescope at the side of the tunnel, he waited until "he 
caught sight ot the target through Dhe telescope, than he pullad the 
trigger! 
Here's a hint for proprietors of shooting salleries where business is 
slack: "Taking a hint from a Louisiana drummer, a Tampa Fla 
uropiietor of a shooting range, where business had become slacK be- 
cause people were tired of flrine at a neero's head, had a new target 
made repiesen ing Weyler. with the bullseye over the heart. Imme- 
diately Cubans and their sympathiz rs swarmed about his place 
formingin line to await their turn at the rifles. Some of the excitable 
01 es offered a bonus to be allovved to stab it and to beat the efflev 
with clubs." 
Rosenbaum was in Great Form.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS.

Broadway, New York, 
Fei'd Van Dyke reached New Jersey on Monday, Feb. 8, and was 
in New York for a fepv hours on Tuesday before leaving for New 
Haven. Van was feeling good, an*! seemed to be quite satisfied with 
bis experience of Texas and northers combined. He spoke in high 
terms of the way in which the Big Three earn, d out the programme, 
despite all drawbacks and despite climatic conditions tnat might well 
have made a stouter combination quail, Tne ownership of the 
Si'hmelzer cup— for which Van, Heikes and Charley Young tied— was 
not decided at San Antonio, but will be soot oS at some date that 
will be set to suit all three of the claimants. 
The result of the Greiff-Boss match shot on Friday last, Feb. 13, on 
the grounds of the Cobweb Gun Club, at Baychester, N. Y., came 
fcomewhat in the nature of a surprise It was not so much the big 
score made by Ross as it was the poor showing made by Gu=! Greiff 
that surprised us. The birds were not good ones; they couldn*c be 
good with the w eather such as it was— a northeaster full of snow and 
sleet blowine right in from the traps. No birds could fly well under 
such circumsiances; they were almost bound to be incomers; but 
still fast incomers are about as nasty a bird as any one wants, 
especially if they bave the wind under I heir fails. The difference in 
the totals does not accurately represent the shooting capabilities of 
the two men. Ross shot a great gait, but Greiif was away out of 
form. The score was something like 83 to 79. 
F. Shmock, the winner of the cup at Hackensaok, N. J., on Feb. 10, 
is a young shooter who hails from Newark, N, J., where he is a mem- 
ber of the Forester Gira Club. Sinnock shoots reeularly with his 
own club on the Newark marshe.?, just west of the embankment 
where the Lehigh Valley crosses the Pennsylvania main line. On 
this occasion he was shooting a Winchester repealing shotgun for the 
third time, and was naturally pleased with the result of his combioa-
