FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Dec. 18, 1897. 
The A. C. A. Race Programme. 
AtTBUENDALE, Mass., Dec. 7.— Editor Forest and Stream: 
Referring to the programme of the Stare Island regatta 
committee contained in the Forest and Stkeam of Nov, 37 
ult., I notice that in the limit on war canoes 1201bs. is given 
as the minimum weight. I am of the opinion that this 
weight should belSOlbs. Such was the weight specified in 
the motion made by me at the annual meeting in Brooklyn, 
at which the yrar canoe limits were laid down. Our nine- 
men crews average a total weight of 1,350 to l,4501bs.. which 
will put a pretty heavy strain on a canoe of even ISOlbs. It 
is a question in my mind if in the new canoes built from 
DOW on clubs will care to come down to this limit, as the life 
of such a canoe will be likely to be short. 
From the standpoint of a spectator I am glad to see that 
the war canoe race is to be "K mile with turn," as such a 
race is much more interesting to watch. As a paddler, from 
which point I am interested, I would say I quite exhausted 
my vocabulary on the regatta committee of last year, and 
can now only utter a very feeble protest. However, at pres- 
ent I do not see much chance of this event being filled at the 
coming meet at Stave Island, so that this turning of war 
canoes need not cause us much worry. 
Lotrrs S. Drake, 
Vice-Corn. Eastern Division, A. G. A. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In the pronosed schedule of races to be held at the A. C. 
A. meet in August, 1898, which was recently published, the 
limitation of crews of war canoes to a maximum of nine 
men was an error. There is no limit to crews of war canoes,

The A. C. A. Skating' Club. 
The American Canoe Association Skating Club has been 
organized with a membershii) of fifty, representing the 
Yonkers, Brooklyn, Knickerbocker, New York and lanthe 
canoe clubs, with headquarters at the Ice Palace Rink, One 
Hundred and Seventh street and Lexington avenue. New 
York city. Througb the courtesy of Mr. E. H. Barney, of 
the Springfield 0. C, the privileges of the rink, including 
admission, use of skates and a private room for meetings, 
has been accorded the members. The club meets every 
Monday evening at the rink, and those who so desire 
are served with dinner from 6:30 to 8 at a moderate cost. 
The club fills a long-felt want in providing a convenient 
meeting place for canoeists, and every Monday night a 
goodly number may be found at the rink rehearsing the 
scenes of the '97 meet and forming plans for '98 and "Old 
Stave." 
Members of the American Canoe Association are eligible 
for membership, and any member of the Association who 
will communicate with Louis Simpson, Yonkers C. C, 
president, or W. N. Stanley, 551: Quincy street. Brooklyn, 
secretary-treasurer, will receive all particulars of the organi- 
zation. 
Leading dealers in sportsmen's supplies have advertised in our

On nee. 10, the night follovcing the annual winter conveDtion of the 
New York State Association in Syracuse, the Rochester. N. Y.,Rod 
and Gun Club held a meeting and passed a set of resolutions which, 
together with the preamble, we give elsewhere. The resolutions 
refer, of course, to the action taken by the fish and game protective 
portion of the Association at the above meeting of Dec. 0; action 
whicb resulted in the separation of the interests of the dilJerent sec- 
tions of the Association. Tbis action was first discussed at the annual 
summer convention in Auburn last June, and to the best of our 
knowledge, outside of a little discussion among a few members as to 
the propriety of the move, the feeling was very general that the 
change would be for the best interests of both parties. It was, we are 
cerlain. well understood that the change was to be made at the annual 
winter convention ; and the proceeding.^ at a meeting of theesecutive 
committee, held about five or six weeks aso, also in Syracuse, and 
which were made public in the coluufhs of the press at the time, bear 
out our supposition. So far as we can see, the trap-shooters of New 
York have nothing to regret, and nothing for which to blame the 
game and flsh protective portion of the Association. It seems far 
better to have two separate and distinct associations, each of 
whicb can work in its own province, free from any hampering 
claims of the other. Let the trap-shooters of New York go to work 
and organize a State trap-shooting association, with an up-to-date 
constitution that fits its name and interests better than did the old 
one. There is no reason why gun olubs and similar organizations 
should not belong to both tbe "New Yorfe State Trap-Shooting Asso- 
ciation'' and the "New York Fish. Game and Forest League," if 
they so desire, but a new association should be organized, and such 
we believe could be done without any feeling in the matter at all. 
The programme for the Elizabeth (N. J.) Gun Club's sboot on Dee. 
21-23 is somewhat similar to the programmes issued by that club for 
Its tournaments in thi^ past. The first day is devoted to targets, 
■which will be trapped at a cent and a half each . The schedule of 
events call for 175 targets at, a total entrance fee of $12, an extremely 
moderate sum. There are five 10-target events, four 15-target events, 
two 30s and a 25.target event. All these events are at unknown 
angles, except one 10-targeD and one 15 target event; of these two, the 
former is at known angles, the latter expert rule, rapid -fire, both bar- 
rels. On the secend day live birds will be trapped, this portion of the 
programme being under tlie management of Eddie Earl, Six events 
are on tbe programme: Nos. 1 and 6, 7 birds. $3: No. 3, 10 birds, Si: 
No. 3, 25 birds. $10, handicap; No. 4, 4 birds, $2; No. 5, 5 birds, $5. 
Birds are included in all the entrance fees except in the handicap 
event, tbe 25-bird race, in which bird« are extra. Under twelve en- 
tries, three moneys; twelve or over, four moneys. A. S. A. rules on 
both day."*. Gonvevancea will be at 1314 East Gram] street to convey 
ghootiers to the grounds free of charge. 
Moat of the gun clubs around New York seem to he rather dead 
just now. Perhaps it is the result of the open-season game; perhaps 
t 3 only the natural reaction from the plethora of shooting events of 
the past season ; perhaps it is a bit of both of these things. Anyway, 
there is less shooting around this city just now, and less talk of 
shooting, than we have known for some years past. The main rea- 
son, however, for tbis apathy is, we believe, the lack of any trap- 
shooting league, with regular monthly meetings between the clubs. 
The New Jersey Trap-Sbooters' League is dead, and so also, it ap- 
pfiars, is tbe Amateur Trap-Shooters' League of New Jersey. There 
are enough clubs in .lersev to support and keep going some such 
body as the Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League. What is really 
needed is an energetic president and secretary. Who'll volunteer? 
Last week we made a note of the way in whicb the Hamilton (Can.) 
Gun Club purposed dividing the $1,000 guaranteed bv the club. Two 
hundred dollars is euaranteed in two sums of $100 each in two 10- 
bird races, $T0 entrance, birds extra; another $J00is to be guaranteed 
in four $50 purses in as many target events; the remaining $600 is to 
be guaranteed in a 20-bird event, $15 entrance, birds included, four- 
teen moneys, high guns, $12.5 to the high gun. We wrote Mr. Over- 
bolt, the treasurer of tbe club, and the correspondent who sent us tbe 
above item, in regard to a ciuestion as to whether all surplus was to 
be added or not. He writes us, under date of Dec 0, as follows: "We 
have never yet had enough entries to fill in big events. So only the 
amount of the guaranteed purses will be paid in prizes." 
We beard rather a eood story the other day anent the late tourna- 
ment at Pawling, N. Y. It seems that, there were one or two good 
shots who showed up at the shoot, and who thought they were going 
to have a good time fleecing the Pawling lambs. Things looked pros- 
perous for them until the fourth event was shot. Then it transpired 
that there was a gentleman in blue overalls, whose name appeared 
on the score sheets as TaUman, who could and did "shoot some." 
Nine out of 10: 19 out of 20; 10 straight! That wasn't bad for a begin- 
ning, and be kept it up pretty well. The shoot was a pleasant one, 
and the boys threw a whole lot of targets. 
Speaking the other day of the prominent live-bird shooters of this 
country, we were rather surprised to find that very few mentioned 
the name of Jack Fanning in that category. We look upon Fanning 
as a man who is deciderlly too mode.st regarding his capabilities for 
shooting live birds. He is a good man on targets, but he is, in our 
opinion, far better on pigeons. His consistent work all this season, 
and his score of 99 out of 100 at the St. Louis tournament, stamps him 
as a man who will in the near future have something to say in regard 
to the disposal of some of the many live-bird championships now be- 
fore the public. 
The Palmetto and the Charleston gun clubs, of Charleston, S. C, 
are holding a tournament jointly on Thursday and Friday of this 
week, Deo. 16-17. Two bundred dollars in cash is being added to the 
purses This sum of moupy sbould attract a good crowd to the 
grounds of the Charleston Gun Club, where the shoot will be held. 
The Charleston boys are famous for entertaining their guests most 
hospitably, so that all who go should have a good time. Professionals 
are barred from the purses, but are invited to shoot along in the 
sweeps for 'he birds only. There are eight 15-target events and two 
20-target events each day; four moneys in each, the money being di- 
vided under the Rose system: 5, 3 and 2 to 1. 
The Winchester repeating shotgun won two out of the three great 
individual matches at Watson's Park last week: Heikes defeated 
Grimm and Elliott broke even with Gilbert. As Elliott shoots 
Schulize and Heikes shoots E. C , Capt. Money is well satisfied. 
Elliott, Gilbert and Heikes all use W. R. A. Company's factory- 
loaded ammunition. Gilbert shoots an L. C. Smith gun ; his work 
with that weapon during the past six months shows just what can be 
done with it when it is in the right bands and pointed straight. His 
powder load is 3J4drs. Du Pont. 
J H. Swan, by virtue of a liberal handicap and some good shooting 
on his part, won a heat for tbe Brooklyn, N. Y., Gun Club's monthly 
cup on Dec. 11. There was a large attendance at this shoot, and 
Swan deserved his victory. Mr. Swan is something of an electrical 
mechanic, and has shown his inventive genius by devising a plan 
whereby each .shooter can spring his own target from the club's 
magautrap As the plan will be given a trial at the club's tourna- 
ment next Thursday. Dec. 16, we shall withhold all criticism until we 
have given it a personal test. 
The match between L. T Duryea and H. Yale Dolan is not likely to 
be shot until somewhere about the middle of January, Mr. Dolan is 
now down South-we believe at Tbomasville, Ga,— shooting quail, 
and will not return until about Christmas time. His shooting re- 
cently on good birds has been of the highest class; in fact, he is 
shooting pigeons as well as, if not better than, ever before. As Mr. 
Duryea is also doing good work, the match ought to be a most in- 
teresting one from start to finish. 
J. N. Meyer, of New York city, returned hbme on Saturday even- 
ing last. Dec. 11, with a nice bunch of quail and Enerlish pheasants as 
the result of two days' snooting on the Rabbins Island preserve, a 
piece of valuable club properrj now practically owned, we believe, 
by the Messrs. Mever. The club only permits the kiUing of iwenty 
quail and two pheasants to each gun per day. Mr. Meyer and bis 
friend scored their jMnt allowance of forty quail on Dec. 10 in less 
than one hour after leaving the club house! 
The Carteret Club bas reason to be proud of its new grounds at 
Garden City, L. I. These grounds are a vast improvement over the 
old ones, which were located at Bayonne, N. J. They are just as 
accessible, and afford better facilities for furnishing fast biros than 
the old grounds did. That the Carteret "Saturdays" are popular fix- 
tures was evidenced by the attendance of eighteen shooters at the 
club on Saturday last, Dec. 11. 
Owing to the rush of important matter from Chicago (matter wbich 
properly belongs to ibis week's issue), we have been obliged to with- 
hold certain other scores until next week. The great week at Chica- 
go has been splendidly covered, and Forest and Stream's pages of 
the issue of Dec. 18 give a full, graphic and detailed account of each 
day's doings, beginning with the Heikes-Grimm match on Monday, 
Dec 6, and closing with the banquet on the evening of Dec. 11, 
At Backensack, N. J., on Dec. S, we met Mr. F. P. Post, of Wood- 
cliffe, N. J. Mr. Post formerly lived at Nanuet, N. Y., and while there 
was about as well known as any trap-shooter in the State. It was 
not merely that he was present at pretty nearly every shoot in the 
neighborhood that he was so well known, it was the skill with which 
he handled his gun that gave him renown. 
Rolla Heikes's win of the Cast-iron badge was a popular one in this 
city. It was xjrobably all ibe more popular because so few people 
expected that the expert target shot could down Charlie Grimm on 
live birds. It was also thought that the comparatively small load of 
powder used by Heikes would be a handicap to him. It didn't Itun 
out so, however, as he won quite handily with 91 to 87. 
The Elizabeth (N. J.) Gun Club announces that it will hold a two- 
days' shoot Dec. 21-2i. The tournament will be open to all. The flrs.t 
day aU events will be at targets, targets being charged for at the rate 
of 1}^ cents each. Tbe second day will be devoted to live-bird sweeps. 
One day last week we had a pleasant chat with Lieut. Mertz, U. S. 
N.. a writer whose experiences in the field of sport are not unknown 
to readers of Forest and Stream. Lieut. Mertz will shortly leave for 
the South, and hopes to be able to sandwich in a little quail shooting 
with his duty toward bis country. 
Our Chicago budget this week is both lengthv and interesting. 
Judging from tbe scores and the accounts of the doings at Watson's 
Park, the pigeons are about the only things that have had cause to 
regret the friendly invasion of Missourians from Kansas City and her 
suburbs. 
Justus von Lengerke has been putting in a few solid final licks at 
the rutted grouse of Sullivan county. N. Y. During the present sea- 
son no finer bags of game have been brought to this city than 
those that have arrived at 318 Broadway, tagged with the above 
name. 
H. C. Reeser, secretary of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's As- 
sociation, 1896-«7, a resident of Oil r"ity, Pa., has just returned from 
a four months' business trip to Alaska. Mr. Reeser brought with 
him a number of interesting relics, but says that "once is enough" for 
him in that territory, 
U. M. C. Thomas will be with us again very shortly. He is now on 
the high seas, and is expected to land from the Cunard liner Lucania 
Friday of this week. During h's absence of two mouths he has done 
considerable globe-trotting in Europe. . 
John J. Sumpter, Jr., announces his secbnd annual midwinter 
tournament. Feb. 15-19 Four days targets and one day live birds. 
$1,100 added in casb. This latter fact, together with the Arkansaw 
Traveler's well-known personabty, will insure a good gathering at Hot 
Springs, Ark., on the above dates. 
The regular monthly shoot for the E. C. cup will take place at 
Hackensack, N. J„ on the grounds of the Bergen County Gun Club, 
Saturday of this week, Dec. 18. The club event is 50 targets, un- 
known angles, handicap allowance, $1 entrance, 
G. B. Hatchings, of Galveston, Texas, is in tbe city again, and says 
that be is likely to bs here for a week or tsvo yet. He hopes to be 
able to do a little target shooting tbis week, and wants to try his 
hand at bluerocks thrown from the Brooklyn Gun Club's magautrap 
on Dec. 16. 
That story by Lew Wllmot in the "Game Bag and Gun" columns 
to-day really belongs to Trap, and should have beeogiveo Qywtotbis 
department. Read it, 
John Gaughen, a member of the New Utrecht Gun Club, of Brook- 
lyn, N. Y., had a few days' sport in the vicinity of Greenport, L. I., 
last week. The portion he seems to have enjoyed most was his ex- 
perience in a battery when the coots were flying well. 
One of the best target shots in the city of Rochester, N. Y., is L. V 
Byer. Mr. Byer is always well to the front in the tournaments of the 
State, but this year he bas been doing some better work than usual. 
He attributes his success to his having found a load that suits him, 
viz., 45grs. of Gold Dust, "Jack Fanning's powder!" 
Ferd Van Dyke's recent scores show what lack of practice will do 
to even so fine a shot as Ferd. Until Dec. 8 he hadnot touched a gun 
nor seen a target fly during the past two months. 
The South Side Gun Club announces its "seventeenth annual greet, 
ing" to its friends on Jan. 1 nest. An interesting programme has 
been arranged, and "open house" will be the order of aiffairs at this 
annual reunion,

New Tork State Association. 
WHAT ARE THE TRAP-SHOOTEBS GOING TO DOf 
At the meeting held in the evening of the first day of the New 
York State shoot at Auburn last June, it was decided to divide the 
State Association into two separate and distinct bodies: a game and 
fish protective association and a trap-shooting association. It might 
perhaps be more properly said that the present State Association 
decided to have no more to do with trap-shooting tournaments, as it 
felt that such things were outside its business as a game and flsh 
protective association. Personally we agree with the majority, and 
feel rejoiced that the two interests, which are separate and distinct, 
have been finally made separate and distinct by the action taken at 
tbe annual meeting held in Syracuse Dec. 9. 
Now that the New York State Fish, Game and Forest League— for 
that is the new title of the old Association— has given up the idea of 
holding trap-shooting tournaments, it behooves the trap-shooters of 
the State to form themselves into an organization under a new title, 
and under a new constitution and by-laws suitable to the condition 
of affairs. 
Our idea is that the trap-shooters of New York State sbould organ- 
ize, adopt a new constitution and by-laws and start out de novo, 
which being translated literally means in brand spanking new attire. 
By agreement the officers of the Rochester Rod and Gun Club can be 
elected officers of the association, pending the annual meeting, which 
should be held in Rochester on the evening of the first day of the 
tournament. 
As we understand it, the Lefever medal and the Dean Richmond 
trophy have been made the subject of a resolution, passed Dec. 9, in 
which the present game protective association waved all its rights, 
etc., in such trophies in favor of tbe trap-shooting portion of the old 
association. These trophies, however, have reverted back to the 
donors, and a new organization will have to have them properly and 
legally donated to it, tbe trophies being merely held in trust. If we 
are wrong on this point, will some one kindly give us the true facts of 
tbe case? 
This subject of a New York State Trap-Shooters' Association, or 
some such body, is one that is well worth discussing. It is also a 
matter in which action should be taken at an early date. We shall 
be glad if those interested will write us their views on the question, 
not necessarily for publication, in order that a proper estimate of the 
feeling upon this point may be made and further action taken,

DEFEATED TEAM'S REPLY TO TBE CHALLENGE. 
fi Chicago, 111., Dec. 13.— Special to Forestand Stream: In reference 
to the challenge issued to the defeated Chicago team by other shoot- 
ers of this city, which challenge is referred to at the close of the re- 
port of the intercity shoot, the following reply has been authorized 
by the members of that team: 
"In relation to the challenge addressed to the Chicago "team that 
recently opposed Kansas City, to shoot a match against another team 
of ten Chicago shooters, five of whom are imnamed, I wish to statt) 
that the regular team will be glad to meet its challenger as soon as 
details can be arranged, 
"As we understand, however, that said challenge is issued by gen- 
tlemen whom our ccmmiitee did not deem quite strong enough to 
represent tbe city, and as we used all means lo secure the strongtst 
team possible, we wish to state that tbe challenging team must not 
contain any shooters who declined to aid the regular team. Three 
of Chicago's best shots were asked to shoot on the team, but for 
various reasons declined. Against these we refuse to shoot, as they 
refused to assist us. Against any other ten residents of Cook county 
we are ready to measure our skill under the same conditions govern- 
ing last week's match, and will shoot for cost of birds and a reason- 
able consideration on the side. 
"If the challengers really mean to shoot, I am now authorized to 
state that we will cover promptly any forfeit they may post, and will 
meet their representatives to arrange dates and detafis. We do this 
to vindicate the judgment of the committee and in the interests of 
sport. (Signed) W. P. Mussey, Chairman Chicago Team." 
Mussey also individually offers a ICO-bird race, $1,000 to each of the 
challengers. E. Hough. 
New York Association. 
The Rochester Rod and Gun Club adopted the following resolutions 
last Friday night : 
Whereas, Certain members of the New York State Association for 
the Protection of Fish and Game met in convention at Syracuoe on 
the 9th in^ , and decided to withdraw from the organization and 
form a new one, having ostensible purposes similar to those for 
wbich this organization exists; and 
Tl-'Aereas, Tbe action of such convention has been reported in the 
press of the State as dissolving the historic organization, of which the 
officers of this club are tbe only legal offlcers, as well as the custo- 
dians r{ its property and the guardians of its long ana fair fame; and 
Whe7-eas, The members of this Association are in hearty sympathy 
with every reasonable effort for the protection of fish and game, and 
at the same time promoters of practice calculated to improve the 
skill of its members in the use of arms, therefore 
Resolved, That we desire to correct the erroneous impression that 
the New York State Association for the Protection of Fish and Game 
has been dissolved, and - 
Resolved, That tbe Association renew its pledge of earnest interest 
in tbe preservation of fish and game in the State, and 
Resolved, That the continued cociperation of all clubs of sports- 
men heretofore associated with this organization be urged; and 
that new clubs interested in the preservation of fish and game, and 
in trap shooting, be invited to join the organization with a view to 
its increased efficiency, and 
Resolved, That copies of this preamble and resolution be for- 
warded lo all clubs in the organization, and to the daily and 
sporting press,
