YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
The latest contribution to the literature of the sea is en 
titled "A Depp-Water Voyage," and is by Paul E.'Stevenson, 
of New York, a member of the New York, Seawanhaka 
Corinthian and other yacht clubs, and for several years 
owner of the sloop Thetis, whose lines appeared in the 
I'OREST AND STREAM, .lune 19, 1886. Mr. Stevenson, who is 
evidently an ardent lover of the sea, after some seasons' 
yachting on thecoast and varions passages by steamer across 
the Atlantic and through theWe.st Indies, planned a real spa 
vovage of much greater extent, which was carried out in 
1894 by embnrking with his wife on the British ship Manda- 
lore, at New York for Calcutta. With these two as the only 
passengers, the .«hip sailed from New York on July 2, and 
after a very trying experiencp with calm weather about the 
Equator, passed the Cape of Good Hope on Sept. 15, finally 
reaching Calcutta on Nov. t. The voyage was comparatively 
uneventful, the main incident being continued calm weather 
both in the Atlantic and Indian oceans, but both the passen- 
gers seem to have enjoyed most thoroughly the novel experi- 
ences of real sea-going, so rare in these days of steam and 
high speeds, and to have left the ship with genuine regret. 
Mr. Stevenson has told the story of the voyage in diary 
form, and in spite of the absence of wreck, pirates, 
mutiny and sensational incidents, he has contrived to make 
a very interesting book. Writing as a landsman, with jnst 
enough knowledge of the sea to enable him to understand 
and appreciate, and with the keen interest excited by the 
novelty of the experience, his story is likely to appeal directly 
to the non-technical reader who is desirous of learning 
something about life afloat, but who finds himself more 
bewildered than instructed by the writings of old seamen. 
Mr. Stevenson's chief deprivation during the lengthy voy- 
age seems to have been the ab.'senne of daily reports of the 
doings of Vigilant, then racing in British waters, the re.sults 
being unknown to him until November. It is rather amus- 
ing to read of his fear that she might be beaten on the 
Thames through adverse local conditions, or might be "pock- 
eted" by some of her three rivals, Valkyrie II., Britannia 
and Satanita; and his confidence in her success in the ab-- 
sence of these contingencies. It was not until the voyage 
was over that he learned of the sinking of Valkyrie and the 
wrecking of Satanita, that made the racing of 1894 practi- 
callv a duel between Vigilant and Britannia on the Clyde, 
the Irish Sea and the Solent, the former being theloser. The 
makers of the book, the J. B. Lippincott Co., of Philadel- 
phia, have turned out a very neat and attractive volume. 
Osbom, of Pe^kskill, has just completed a 40ft. steam 
yacht for Dr. S. P. Horton, of the Peekskill Gun Club. On" 
Decoration Day Dr. Horton will take the club to Newburg 
on the yacht, and the day will be spent in a friendly shoot 
with the Orange Lake Club at Orange Lake. 
We have received the year book of the Yacht Racing Asso- 
ciation of Great Britain for 1897, somewhat larger than the 
previous volumes and enlarged in its contents, which now 
include the oflficial measures of most of the British racing 
yachts. The linear rating rule, the Y. E,. A. sailing rules, 
the details of measurement and the proceedings of the coun- 
cil, including many questions of protests, are given in full, 
making a very valuable book for reference.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send ttieir scores /or publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
Ties in all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 3U6 
Broadway, New York. 
Commencing with week after next, the Northern portion of the 
country will offer the inducements of three weeks of trap-shooting 
to those who like to take part in tournaments. First comes the New 
York State shoot, June 8-11, a shoot that promises to gather together 
an extremely large number of shooters. Then comes the Chamberlin 
tournament, at Cleveland, June 16-13, a tournament ttiac will intro- 
duce the "$4 class" to the general public This shoor. will be pre- 
ceded by two days at targets on the grounds of the Cleveland Gun 
Club, the grounds oh which the Chamberlin shoot will be held. On 
those two days all events will be shot under the auspices of the Cleve- 
land Gun Club. It must not be overlooked that Paul North (perhaps 
we ought to say the Chjimberlin Company) vrill throw all bluerocks 
free of charge on June 16-18. Then comes the Pennsylvania Sta'e 
shoot, at Oil City, Pa., a city that is located within easy distance of 
Cleveland. The dates for this shoot are June 22-25. Thus we have 
four days at Auburn, N. Y., five days at Cleveland, O., and four days 
at Oil City, Pa., making altogether thirteen days of trap-shooting be- 
tween the dales of June 8 and June £5. 
Barney Worthen, of Charleston, S. C, is a corking good shot, and 
showed juat how good he reafly is by breaking 163 out of 170 on the 
first day of the interstate shoot at Savannah, Ga. And his record 
was not, made on easy targets, nor wiih an easy background to shoot 
against.
