Atlantic T. C— Annual Cruise. 
The annual cruise of the Atlantic Y. C. began with the 
rendezvous at Larchmont on July 3-5, a number of yachts 
being present over Sunday and during the race of Monday. 
The programme of the cruise included a number of races for 
prizes offered by the club. In the absence of Com. Gould, 
V ice-Com. Adams was io command. On Tuesday morniog 
the fleet sailed the few miles from Larchmont to Milton Point 
and anchored to watch the American Y. C. regatta. In the 
evening a reception was tendered to the visitors by the Amer- 
ican Y. C. Next day the fleet sailed to Greenwich and an- 
chored over night, the members witnessing the Riverside Y. 
C. regatta and spending the evening ashore at the house of 
the Riverside Y. C, where they were most hospitably enter- 
tained. The fleet, by Thursday morning, included the fol- 
lowing yachts:

start was made at 11:30, though there was little or no wind. 
In addition to the regular prizes, Com. Postley, of the Larch- 
mont Y. C, offered a special cup for schooners and one for 
single-stickers, each with double time allowance, for the 
two runs to New London. The race i>roved a long and tedi- 
ous drift, Syce being over six hours in covering the twenty 
miles, while others arrived so late that the entertainments 
of the evening were sadly marred. The official times were:

In the 37-f ooters the best sport of the day was brought off. 
In this event were entered Shamrock, of Cleveland; Puri- 
tana, of Toledo; Miriam, of Erie; and Meteor, of Cleveland. 
Miriam crossed the line first, Puritana was a minute behind, 
and Shamrock was directly behind her. Meteor got a poor 
start. Puritana had no more than crossed the line when her 
topmast went by the board. She gave Shamrock a hard 
xace, however. Miriam was overhauled by both boats. The 
summary follows:

The America's Cup. 
There has been no foundation whatever for the rumors 
afloat this spring of a hew challenge from Mr, Rose for the 
America's Cup; the following dispatch, from London, is 
quite superfluous, as the time for a challenge has long since 
passed, for this year, and it is entirely too soon for a ohal-, 
lenge for 1898. Mr. Rose's new yacht is much too small to 
race against Detender, and was not designed for interna- 
tional racing. 
Mr. Rose is reijorted as saying: 
"There is nothing I would like better than to challenge 
for the America's Cup. When I contemplated so doing be- 
fore it would have been misconstrued, and as one must 
stand by one's friends, I was obliged to withdraw, which 
was unfortunate. 
"In regard to Aurora, which first appears during Cowes' 
week, challenging for the America's Cup, I have not given 
It a thought and it would be altogether premature to say 
anything on the subject. There is plenty of time. But, up 
to the present, the idea of challenging has not crossed my 
mind," 
The Lake IT. B, A. Circuit. 
A CHANGE has been made in the programme for the Lake 
Y. R. A. circuit, as Charlotte (Rochester Y. C.) has been 
omitted. The first race will be at Kingston on July 19; sec- 
ond Cobourg, July 23; third Toronto, July 27; fourth Ham- 
ilton. July 29, and fifth Niagara, July 31. Mr. W. Q. Phil- 
lips, who has before served to the satisfaction of all in the 
same capacity, will be in charge of all details of the racing. 
YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Valhalla, auxiliary steam yacht, seen here at the Valky- 
rie-Defender races, has been chartered by J, ¥. Laycock. to 
Count Castellane, husband of Miss Anna Gould. 
Hildegarde, steam yacht, designed by A. S, Chesebrough 
for G, W, Weld, was launched on July 8 at the Harlan & 
HoUingsworth yards, Wilmington. Work on the yacht has 
been pushed very rapidly since she was first begun, and she 
will be ready for the New York Y. C. cruise.

Mr. Carl von Lengerke, captain of the Endeavor Gun Club. Of Jei- 
sey City, N J., writes us as follows: •'On Labor Day, Monday. Sept. 
6, there will be an all-day .shoot at Marion, N. J. Two sets of expert 
traps with bluerock targets will be kept busy from 10 A. M until 
dark. Sweepstake events will be shot on one set of traps, while the ' 
other set will be occupied with the following special event, open to 
the world: '147 Hatidicap'; 100 bluerocks per man, one man up. ex 
pert rules; entrance fee, the price of the targets, with optional 
sweeps to suit the shooters The prize will be the 'Austin 147 Cup' of 
sterling silver. This cup will be given to the winner of the race, sut>- 
iect to challenge every thirty (30) davs at 100 targets, expert rules, no 
handicap, $J5 a side. The cup to become the propfrty of the man 
who holds it for one year against all competitors A S. A rules to 
govern, one man up, unknown traps, known angles." For several 
years past it has been the custom of the Endeavor Gun Club to hold 
an open to all shoot on Labor Day, and these gatherines have come 
to be very popular, each annual shoot being well attended by ihem- 
bers of neighboring clubs. The Endeavor Gun Club meriis all the 
support that may be given it by outside clubs, for its members 
always attend the shoots of other clubs in goodly numbers. If any 
further information regardicg this shoot is desired, the same can be 
obtained by writing to Carl von Lengerke, 8 Murray street, New Yoik 
city.

balance of 840.45 in hands of Mr. Conover, ex-treasurer. The Associ-

We have previously made a note regarding the merchandise live- 
bird shoot to be held at Dexter Park, L. L, on July 29. under the 
auspices of the Emerald Gun Club. Additional information on this 
point is contained in the following letter from Dr. G. V. Hudson: "In 
regard to the merchandise prizs shoot of the Emerald Gun Club, July 
.'J9, will you be kind enough to place same in your list of flxtures. We 
have at the present time thirty-eight prizes, v?hich will be divided 
into three eiasses. The shoot will oommence at 10 A. M., but will ho 
kept open until 1 P. M. The conditions are 7 live birds per man, $4 
entrance, birds included, 28yds. rise for 12 gauge guns, and SOjds. 
rise for 10-gauge guns, open to all Our expectations are that this 
will be I he largest live bird shoot for merchandise prizes that ever 
took place around New York. I have had quite a number of letters 
from diflferent parties, making irquiries in regnrd to this shoot, and 
you might add that any one addressing me at 9 Madison street. New 
York city, can obtain any information that may bo dPiiired. In all 
points, outside of rise and boundary (about SOyds ), Emerald Gun 
Club rules will govern." 
The programme for the Interstate tournament at Lewiston, Me , 
Aug, 4-5, is now ready for distribution, and advance copies of the 
same have been received at this offlce. This tournament will be held 
under the auspices of the Androscoggin Gun Club, of Lewiston. The 
schedule of events for each day is a simple one to remember; ten 
events of 15 targets each, entrance |1.60 in each event, making a 
total entrance for thn day of $15 All events will be at known traps 
and angles, something rather unusual at this date. The purses will 
be divided into four moneys under the Rose system, with ratio points 
of 4. 3, 2 to 1. Guns and ammunition sent in care of H. E. Doten, 85 
Lisbon stree% will be delivered at the grounds free of charge. The 
Elm House. Auburn, "being pleasantly situated near the Lewiston 
Falls, and supphed with all modern convenience.*." will be the head- 
quarters for shooters during the tournament. Electric cars to the 
snooting grounds leave every half-hour. Shooting commences at 9 
A. M. each day. 
Circular letters, full of challenges, are floating around just now 
quite promigeuou'Iy. These challenges happily differ irom the 
majority of such articles received at this olflce, in that there is money 
up m each case. Still there is one feature chat is almost tiresome 
from the frequency with which it recurs: One person makes one chal- 
lenge, names his conditions and puts up a forfeit. Another appar- 
ently takes up the challenge, but'uames different conditions, and also 
puts up money, When both parties who are talUing shoot really 
want a match, it doesn't take long to arrange the preliminaries. 
Witness that match between Frank P.arraelee and Jim Elliott a few 
months ago; also the match between Elliott and Fulford last winter, 
and the Elliott-Gay match that followed close on the heels of the 
last-named match. 
The regular monthly .handicap shoot for the Ber^r-en County E C. 
cup will be held at Hackensack. N.J. Saturday, July J4 on the 
grounds of the Bergen County Gun Club. The contest for the cup 
will commence at 2 P M. Traps will be ready for practice at 1 P M. 
Mr. E A. Jackson secretary of the club, writes regal-dins' this handi- 
cap: ''This shoot, as is generally known, is open to all amateur shots 
who are 'members or friends of the Bergen County Gun Club ' The 
conditions are 50 targets per man, 25 known angles and 25 unknown 
angles. Entrance, price of the targets at 2 cents each. Swerpstakes 
and practice shooting both before and after the main event." 
Edgar Murphy has been doing some good work at the Elkwcod
