YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
The numerous American subscribers to Lloyd's Yacht 
Register have lately received the book for the current year, 
the usual large and handsomely made volume. The new 
book contains no material changes from that of last year, 
but the numerous lists of yachts, owners, racing flags, 
builders, etc., are fully extended and corrected up to date, 
making an invaluable volume for reference. The total num- 
ber of yachts listed this year is 7,848, in which number are 
included 1,429 American yachts not measured by Lloyd's 
rule. This leaves 6,419 yachts, with a tonnage of 249,787 in 
the Lloyd's list proper; these including 5,050 sailing yachts 
with a tonnage of 89,866, and 1,369 steam yachts with a ton- 
nage of 159,921. Of this total 4,448 are British yachts. The 
Society is represented in New York by Mr. Thomas Congdon, 
its principal surveyor for the United States and surveyor for 
the port and district of New York. 
The year book of the New York Y. C. is rapidly growing to 
a thickness disproportionate to its other dimensions, as its 
list of members and yachts increases. The book for 1897 lists 
a fleet of 352 yachts, of which 75 are schooners, 91 cutters, 
sloops or yawls, 168 steamers, with 10 steam launches and 8 
naphtha launches of such size as to be enrolled. The total 
membership is 1,425, of which 54 are life members, 124 navy 
members, 5 flag members (ladies) and 1,242 active members. 
The club has been for some years past most fortunate in the 
possession of an energetic secretary, the result of whose 
labors is seen in the complete and handsome book. 
The Corinthian Y. C, of Marblehead, founded in 1885, has 
been remarkably successful in all ways, and at the present 
time has a membership, as shown by its new book, of 444, 
and a fleet of 157 yachts. It has taken a very prominent 
place in the racing about Massachusetts Bay, and has long 
been established in a large and comfortable club house, 
which it now proposes to replace by something much better 
adapted to its growing needs. 
The combined firms of the Gas Engine and Power Co. and 
Chas. L. Seabury & Co. still take the lead in the matter of 
elegant and artistic yacht catalogues, their new book being 
the finest yet produced by yacht builders. It is of large size, 
printed on fine paper, with an artistic cover in green and 
gold on white paper. Handsome half-tone portraits are 
given of different yachts built by the firm, the steam yachts 
Embla, 163ft.; Hiawatha I., 135ft,; Hiawatha II., 170£t.; 
Kanawha, 140ft.; Huntress, 120ft.; Washita, 100ft.; Silva, 
80ft.; Mayita, twin screw, 85ft.; Hirondelle, twin screw, 
86ft.; Linta, 85ft.; Aztec, 77ft.; Mar.jencha, 65ft.; Margaret, 
twin screw, 75ft.; Charlietta, 65ft.; Alma, twin screw, 56ft.; 
Outoga, 60ft.; Strae, 55ft.; Beatrice, 56ft.; Anemone, twin 
screw, 48ft.; Claymore, 80ft.; AUegra, 76ft.; Levanter^ 48ft.; 
Coot, 42£t.; Seawanhaka, 44ft.; Alva, 30ft. Full descriptions 
of these different yachts are given, and also of the Seabury 
patent water tube boiler, as well as illustrations of the 
engines, large and small, designed and built by the firm. 
Sailing yachts and naphtha craft also come in for full de- 
scriptions and illustrations. The book is a complete guide 
lor those in want of fine yachts of any kind. 
The New Rochelle Y. C. will sail its twelfth annual re- 
gatta on Saturday, J uly 3 over the regular club courses, 
starting off the station. Echo Bay, New Rochelle. The re- 
gatta will be sailed under Y. R. U. rules, and will be open to 
yachts of -all legularly organized clubs. Entries should be 
made to the regatta committee, box 735, New Rochelle, N.Y., 
not later than the morning of July 1. Paticulars of the 
race may be obtained of the regatta committee, Chas. P. 
Tower, chairmrn; Paul A. Meyrowitz, S. R. Thomas, J. C. 
Lippincott and A. P. Weston. 
Since the discontinuance of that interesting little paper 
Tfie Model Yachtsman and Canoeist the sport of model 
yachting has had no journal in England, We have just re- 
ceived tne first number of a new monthly, the Model YacMs- 
man, published at 337 Strand, London, England, at 4 shilr 
lings per year. It is similar in size to th^ yqchtsnfjan, with 
a cover or the'same light ^re&f^, bi^t has np connection with 
the older paper. It contains news of mpdel yapht racing, 
building, etc., and is well worthy of the support j^^nd >sist- 
ncp of s^ll interested in the spprt.

CANOE NEWS NOTES. 
We have received from D. H. Heckman, Kennebnnkport, 
Me. , a catalogue of the canoes and boats built by hira. While 
building all classes of boats and canoes, Mr. Heckman makes 
a specialty of the light cedar canoe with an outef skin of 
canvas, a special preparation of his own being employed to 
give a very hard and glossy surface \o the canvas. These 
canoes and boats are of moderate cost, and very light, con- 
venient and durable, standing rough usage.

The Emerald Gun Club, of New York, has appointed the following 
committee to carry out the programme given bolow: Dr. G V. Hud- 
son, chairman; H. P. Pe-isenden, P Woelfel, G. Banzer and L H. 
Sbortemeier. The programme will be on the lines set forth in this 
letter: "On Thursday, July 99, the Emerald Gun Club will hold a 
live-bird contest for merchandise prizes, open to all members of Long 
Island clubs, and also of other local clubs, ineludingtho Jeannette, of 
New York, and probably others, which will be announced later, 
when the committee has decided on conditions, etc. Among the 
prizes will be many useful sportsmen's sundries, gun cases, cartridge 
cases, cleaning rods and quantities of smokeless powders. As at 
present decided, each entry will shoot at 7 live birds, SSyds. rise for 
12-gauge guns, and 30yds. rise for lO-gauges ; 5(^d8. (approximate) 
boundary of an 18in. wire fence. Gun in any position and no other 
handicap. Those who kill straight to divide the prizes in that class; 
those who kill 6 the several prizes for that class; and those who tally 
5 the prizes in their class. This is simply an outline of the tourna- 
ment ; other conditions, such as the probability of sbootlng-off prizps, 
re-entries, etc., will be decided by the committee at its meeting on 
Monday, June 20. You will be notified so that you can publish a full 
report of conditions in time to allow those interested to decide on at- 
tending this tournament, which, as the conditions show, is of a novel 
kind. The entrance fee will be the price of birds and probably $2. 
If the number of prizes exceed the number of contestants killing 
straight, the prizes sf that class shall be added to the 6 class; and if 
any shall be in excess in the 6 class, the balance will go to those who 
kill 5 " 
In a letter which we hope to find room for in this issue, Mr. W. E. 
Post sends some suggestions regarding changes in the ratio points of 
the Rose system. The changes noted are worth considering, and 
have much to recommend them. The chief drawback to the popu- 
larity of the Rose system has been in many cases the radical changing 
of the ratio points by clubs and their managers. For small local 
Bhoots we believe in some such changes as sugge.'ited by Mr. Post, but 
for large tournaments, with added money, we still hold to Mr Rose's 
figures. Another drawback to its popularity has been the number of 
moneys sec for some events, such as five moneys in 15- target events; 
six. seven or eight in 20- target and 25-target events. Four mone.ys 
should be sufiBcient in 15 target events, and five mone.vs in 20 and SB- 
target events. We are speaking now solely in reference to large 
tournaments; in small club tournaments and club shoots we believe 
in reducing as far as possible both winnings and losings, being of the 
opinion that by so doing more shooter? will be induced to step up and 
try conclusiOHB with one another. A man will shoot better and more 
carefully, and will learn more quickly, if he has an additional incen- 
tive to keep him up to the mark. The "honor and glory" features of 
practice work at the traps do not tend to Improve a man's shooting 
as quickly as when he has a small something at stake. Too often a 
man gets careless when he is shooting "for targets only." 
It may seem rather out of place to tell a poker story in Drivers and 
Twisters, but the following is too good to keep; The Indian squad 
of ien relaxes a little in the evenings and indulges in a small 10-cent 
limit game, or more often a piemy freeze out. At Oil City la.st week 
Charlie Budd and Harvey McMurchy occu&ied adjoining rooms with 
a connecting door. On Wednesday morning, just when it was time 
for breakfast, Charlie was awakened by a sound that was rather 
familiar to him— the rattle of chips. Opening his eyes he saw Harvey 
at the table in the middle of the room, attired in his usual bed cos- 
tume. Harvey had a deck of cards and two piles of chips in front of 
him, and was dealing most industriously and betting m moderate 
quantities. Charlie lay still and watched him, but what he thought 
he'll never tell now; for presently Harvey picked up the hand right 
in front of him and opened the pot. He then looked at the other 
baud, and came back with a raise out of the other pile. He saw the 
raise from his own pile, and then drew cards for both hands. After 
the draw he bet both hands freely, finally shoving in all the chips of 
both piles. Then he showed down, and bis hand appai-ently won, for 
he drew the chips toward him. Without saying a word he arose and 
went to Charlie's pocketbook, took a dollar out of it, and started 
to leave the raom. "Where are you going with that dollar?" said 
Charlie. "To my room," said Mac. "You lost all right. I froze you 
out." 
A reference to our advertising columns will show that the King 
Powder Company, of Cincinnati, O., is putting a new powder on the 
market. This powder is to be known as King's Semi-Smokeless, and 
is "an entirely new compound, and is neither black nor nitro powder, 
and will certainly prove most popular with the millions of amateurs 
who do not wish to shoot black powder, and who feel that they 
cannot afford to shoot high-priced mokeless." The above is the 
company's own definition of its new product. The company has also 
this to say about it: "King's Semi-Smokeless was practically per- 
fected one year ago, but we were not willing to give it to the public 
until it bad had satisfactory tests of all seasons, both as to its shoot- 
ing and its qualities for storage. This first run of powder was stored 
in our black powder magazine, and taken out from time to time under 
all conditions of weather and temperature, and tested on chrono- 
graph, pressure gauges, etc. The results show marvelous uniformity, 
and the velocity is almost as high as King's Smokeless. Breech pres- 
sure is very low, the smoke thin and quickly dissipated. In rifles the 
traject-ory is exceedingly fiat, and notwithstanding the tremendous 
velocity, it does not cause stripping of ordinary lead bullets." 
The Schmelzer Arms Company, of Kansas Cily, Mo., announces 
that It will hold its tournament Sept. 14-16. Below is an extract from 
a letter which we have received from that firm: ''We are at work on 
the programme for our fourth annual shooting tournament compli- 
mentary to the amateurs of tbe Western States, to take place here on 
Sept. 14, 15 and 16. After carefully studying the target situation, we 
have concluded to give a strictly amateur merchandise shoot. We 
find that within a radius of 100 miles of Kansas City we have over 
1 000 target shooters. All of the smaller towns having tLeir target 
clubs; still at our State tournaments or large shoots, not one of these 
shooters put in an appearance, and it will be our main object to in- 
terest this class of target shooters. "We shall bar the manufacturer's 
agents and professionals, and classify the amateur shooters as class 
A and class B. Class A men. all who have a record of 85 per cent or 
greater, to shoot at ISyds, rise and at reversed angles; while the class 
B men will shoot at 14yds rise, known traps and known angles. The 
entrance fee in all purses to be participated in, to be only the price of 
the targets, at 3 cents each. As there will be no races to f xceed 25 
targets, the highest entry fee in any of them will be 75 cents " 
The choice of Springfield for next year's shoot of the Ohio Trap- 
Shooters' League shows that the Springfield Gun Club managed 
things to the satisfaction ot its guests The following extract from a 
Cincinnati daily paper tells what was done at the annual meeting, held 
on the evening of June 3: "The Ohio Trap-Shooters' League has 
elected officers as follows: President, C- A. Young, Springfield, O.; 
Vice-President, J. A, Flick, Ravenna; Secretary and Treasurer, J. A. 
Reid, Springfield; Executive Comroittee— Rolla Heikas, Dayton; J. P. 
Easton, Monroeville; G. R. Ha.swell, Circleville; H.E Norton, Iron- 
ton ;R. S. Waddell, Cincinnati. It was decided to hold the tournament 
in Springfield next year on the first Tuesday in June. Fifty dollars 
will be used for ten $5 low average prizes. U was decided to offer 
mechandise prize* next year. A committee to secure the same was 
appointed, being John A. Flick, Ravenna; R O. Heikes, Dayton; Paul 
North, Cleveland ; Milt Lindsley, Cincinnati; George Haswell, Circle- 
vi'le." 
The Oil City shoot was a dandy. The weather was glorious and 
the accommodation all that could be asked. Western Pennsylvania 
oytdid herself ; it's Reading's turn next.
