FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Jan. 22, 1898. 
Canada, and the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, of 
Mew York, during the yachting season of 1898: 
In pursuance of the provisions of Article XI. of the 
Declaration of Trust executed hy the Seawanhaka Co- 
rinthian Yacht Club, dated June i, 1896, and containing 
the terms and conditions governing the tenure of the 
Seawanhaka international challenge cup for small yachts, 
and the competition therefor, it is hereby mutually agreed 
between the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club, of Mon- 
treal, Canada, and the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht 
Club, of New York, that the following special terms 
and conditions shall govern the match to be sailed during 
the yachting season of 1898, namely: 
Article I. — The courses shall consist of a triangular 
course and a course to windward or leeward and return. 
Each leg of the triangular course shall be one and one- 
third miles in length, and shall be sailed over three times, 
making a total of twelve miles.. The course to windward 
or leeward and return shall be two nautical miles to 
each leg, and shall be sailed over three times, making a 
total of twelve miles. 
Article II. — The start shall be a one-gun flying start, 
Avith preparatory signal. 
Article III.— The races shall be sailed without tiine 
allowance. 
Article IV, — Yachts must not exceed 20ft. racing 
length (S. C. Y. C. measurement). The formula for 
determining racing length measurement under the S. C. 
Y. C. rules is as follows: 
L.w.L.-l-Vs. A. 
= Racing Measurement . 
Article — A yacht's draft of hull or keel shall not 
exceed sft., and with the centerboard down shall not 
exceed 6ft. Draft shall be determined Avhen yachts are 
in trim for measurement. Centerboards shall be so con- 
structed that they can be wholly housed without leaving 
any projection below the hull or keel. 
Article VI. — Yachts shall be measured without crew 
on board, but instead thereof a dead weight of 45olbs. 
shall be carried amidships, approximately at the center 
of buoyancy, during measurement. The total actual 
weight of the crev/, including all clothes, personal ap- 
parel and belongings worn by them or carried on board 
during any race, shall not exceed 6oolbs. 
Article VTL — Shifting ballast shall not be allowed. 
(Weighted centerboards shall be considered as fixed bal- 
last.) 
Article VIII. — No outrigger or other mechanical de- 
vice for carrying live ballast outboard shall be allowed. 
Article IX. — The factor of sail area, used in determin- 
ing racing measurement. " shall be ascertained by add- 
ing to the actual area of the mainsail, computed from 
its exact dimensions, the area of the fore-triangle. The 
hoist of the mainsail when measured shall be plainly 
marked on the mast, and its outer points on the boom 
and gaff or other spars used to set sail, and the sail shall 
not be set beyond these limiting points. The fore-triangle 
shall be determined by the folloAA'ing factors: i, The per- 
pendicular shall be the perpendicular distance between the 
deck and a point on the forestay, above which the jib 
shall not be hoisted. 2. The base shall be the distance 
between the forward side of the mast at the deck and 
the point of intersection of the forestay with the bow- 
sprit of hull. Any jib when set must not extend beyond 
the upper and forward points above defined. 
Sails shall be limited to mainsail, jibs and spinaker. 
The total area of the mainsail and fore-triangle shall 
not exceed 5oosq. ft. The area of the mainsail alone shall 
not exceed 80 per cent, of the total area. The area of the 
spinaker, measured as a triangle whose base is the length 
of the spinaker boom measured from its outer end when 
set to the center of the mast, and whose perpendicular 
is the distance from the deck at the fore side of the mast 
to the spinaker halyard block, shall not exceed twice the 
area of the fore-triangle. 
Article X. — The spinaker boom, when used in carrying 
sail, shall not be lashed to the bowsprit or stemhead. 
Article XI. — The helmsman or helmsmen and crew 
shall be amateurs, and the total number of persons on 
board shall be limited to four. The helmsman may be 
changed at will, and as often as may be desired in any 
race provided that such helmsman shall have been named 
in writing, as required by the provisions of Article X. 
of the Declaration of Trust. 
Article XII. — The provisions of the Declaration of 
Trust, so far as differing from, or inconsistent with, the 
foregoino^ articles, are hereby waived.

At the close of the meeting the fleet chaplain, George 
R. Vandewater, D. D., at the request of the chair, spoke

The Marine Exhibit at the Sportsmen's 
Exposition* 
As a representative display of American yachting, 
there is little to be said of the marine portion of the ex- 
hibit this year, there being nothing outside of the trade 
displays of different firms of launch builders. There is 
a field for a most interesting and attractive exhibit that 
would bring numbers to the Garden in a collection of 
yachting models, trophies and practical appliances on 
.such a scale as to show exactly what the yacht building 
market affords, but nothing of the kind has been at- 
tempted. The joint iirm of C. L. Seabury & Co. and the 
Gas Engine and Power Co. has a prominent space on 
the center aisle, where it shows a mahogany yacht ten- 
der of good model and very handsome finish, also a 
small Seabury boiler, with sections cut away to show 
the interior construction. There are also several models 
of steam yachts, but unnamed, and a handsomely built 
model yacht. 
In connection witb its eJ^hiblt of autO-mobiles and sta- 
tionary engines, the Daimler Motor Co. shows two. of 
its marine engines of i6 and 4 H. P., and a plain 
open launch. The Pennsylvania Iron; Works, , manu- 
facturing the Globe Vapor engines, shows several en- 
gines in operation and a very shipshape cabin launch, 
with a moderate overhafig to the bow and a well shaped 
yacht counter that is a great relief from the standardround 
stern of all small power craft. Some small half models 
are also shown, but with nothing to tell what they repre- 
sent. The Marine Vapor Engine Co., maker of the Alco- 
Vapor launch, shows an open mahogany latmch of elab- 
oi^ate finish, and also one of its hunting "launches," 
with cabin house, and rigged with a cat mainsail. One 
of the engines is shown running by compressed air, to 
display the operation of the valves. The Truscott Boat 
Mfg. Co., of St. Joseph, Mich., shows a couple of its 
marine engines, but no boats. The engines are fitted 
with propellers in which the blades reverse. The Empire 
Marine Motor, C. C. Riotte & Co., New York, is shown 
in two sizes: 8 H. P. and i H. P., a compact engine with 
the weight low. 
In the Adirondack exhibit are two specimens of the 
typical "Adirondack boat" by different builders, very 
light craft, with smooth lap skin and sawn ribs spaced 
close together. In the Maine exhibit B. N. Morris, of 
Vcazic, Me., shows a handsomel}- finished canoe of his 
standard build, with wide, flat ribs like tlie birch bark, 
and a light wooden skiti covered with canvas, the latter 
showing a very hard and smooth surface. The construc- 
tion gives both strength and lightness, with no possibil- 
ity of leakage. Two similar canoes are shown by Gould 
Bros., of Bangor, and E. M. White, of Old Town. The 
Durand Pedal Motor is a new device, built on a different 
principle from the usual crank mechanism, and from its 
appeararxce should be quite effective. It is designed 
specially for canoes and boats driving a propeller. The 
motion is oscillating and not rotary, the man being 
seated abaft and not over the motor. 
YACHTING NEWS NOTES, 
The issue of the Yachtsman for Dec. 23 forms the Christmas 
number, and is considerably larger than usual. In addition to 
many handsome plates of yachts and an e.xtra amount of interest- 
ing matter, it has several excellent designs. One of these, the 
work of F. Shepherd, is a handsome single-hand yawl, of 2\it. 
l.w.l. Another is a model sloop, of 10-rating, by J. Gordon Kelly. 
H. J. Dartnell has a design for a 300-ton steam yacht, and Harley 
Mead has contributed the complete plans of a fast cruiser, of 
28ft. l.w.l. The arrangement plans of the steam yacht Anemone, 
designed by Alfred H. Brown, are given. The cover, m black 
and red, is the result of a special prize competition; the work of 
other competitors, in black and on a small scale, being shown 
elsewhere in the book. The Yachtsman announces that on Jan. 27 
it will issue the first number of a monthly magazine, the Yachting 
Monthly, a supplementary publication, as the weekly Yachtsman 
will be continued as usual. We congratulate our contemporary 
upon tlie success that this new venture indicates.

gates to present this resolve before said association and report

We learn from the January issue of Land and Water that Eastern 
yachtsmen are falling over each other in their hurry to vote for the 
continuance of time allowance at the meeting of Dec. 31 last. 
There was something dropped, with a thud, at that meeting, but 
hardly what Land and Water predicts. 
Holyofce C. C, 
The Flolyoke C. C. has taken a new lease of life'. A movement 
is on toot to build a' new and larger club house, to increase its 
membership from 45 to 150, and to stir tip more Interest in canoe- 
ing. With this end in view, a large and enthusiastic meeting was 
recently held. All were in favor of the plan, and committees tO- 
lurther the project were appointed as follows: 
House.— F. H. Metcalf, E. F. Horton, F. B. Towne. 
Land.— E. S. Towne, F. A. Smith, E. B. Fiske. 
Membership.— L. F. Hayward, H. M. Chase, W. C. Brown. 
Boats and Canoes.— T. W. Morrow, C. F. Schuster, C. A. Chase, 
The new club house will probably be located near Kenilworth 
Castle, the Connecticut River at this point being one of the finest 
places in New England for good rowing and canoeing. The club 
hopes to have a house costing about ?3,000, and fitted up with 
all^ the latest improvements and conveniences. 
The officers of the club are as follows: Capt., Henry L. Ru.s- 
sell; First Lieut., Edw. T. Newton: Second Lieut.. J. M.

Sportsmen's Exposition Rifle Tournament. 
New York, Jan. 17.— It is as yet far too early to say much 
about the scores m the rifle tournament at the Madison Square 
Garden, under the auspices of the Sportsmen's Association, which 
IS now holding its annual Exposition in that immense building. 
The tournament is unde.r practically the same management as 
last year, and that is a guarantee that everything has been done 
to make the running of the tournament a success in every respect. 
G. W. Plaisted acts again as cashier and official scorer, having for 
his assistant, W^ Wussow. Between them this pair keeps things 
moving along easily, and there is no delay, save that caused l^y 
there being only six ranges and occasionally eight or ten people 
waiting to shoot at the same time. H. D. Muller, chairman of the 
tournament committee, is also always on hand to render assist- 
ance where it may be necessary. Messrs. Zettler Bros., aided by a 
corps of assistants, have charge of the gallery, and attend generally 
to the work at the ranges. 
M. Dorrler has recoiaed a 75 and a 74 so far in the Continuous 
Match, although the tournament has been runnhig only four days. 
This competition is always a popular one, but it is never out until 
the last shot has been fired. Surprises are likely to come any 
day, and judging from the quality of the shooting material fur- 
nished by rifle clubs from far distant cities, the local marksmen 
are not going to have it all their own way, by any means. 
On the Target of Honor, T^ouis Flach, one of the crack shots of 
the Zettler Rifle Club, has recorded a score of 75, a highest pos- 
sible. Still, it is by no means certain that he will not t^e tied for 
first prize in this contest, 75s being something that may be looked 
for from such men as F. C. Ross, Mike Dorrler and Gus Zim- 
merman. It must be remembered, however, that only one entry 
is allowed in this competition, and 74b and 73s are easier to make 
than 75! C. E. Gensch has secured a 73 on this target with a 25 
and two 24s, while J. G. iTillin and G. Schlicht each have a 71 to 
their credit. H. Kraus made three 23s, totaling 69. 
In the Bull's-eye contest, another exceedingly popular aflfair, 
many targets have been shot, but H. D. Muller is ahead with a 
bull that measures 1]%- 
The Individual Championship Match is the contest around which 
the greatest amount of interest centers. The result of the 100 
shots is to designate the champion. Last year Mike Dorrler, the 
present champion under the Sportsmen's Association's auspices, 
did not complete his winning total of 2,421 until the last night. 
This total has already been equaled by R. J. Young, secretary 
of the New York Rifle Ciub, an organization that holds its weekly 
com])etitions during the winter at Zettler's gallery. Louis l-'iach 
has also finished with 2,403. Others have made a very good start 
and Mr. Young, although sure of a good place on the list, can by 
no means rest easy until Saturday night comes. Neither Ross nor 
Dorrler has finished his total, and the result of their efforts is 
eagerly awaited. 
Cincinnati, Rifle Association. 
CiNCi.MNATi, O., Jan. 9.— The regular weekly practice shoot of 
the Cincinnati Rifle Association took place to-day. The weather 
conditions were very poor for good shooting, as it rained all day, 
and was very foggy at times, all of which made the sighting very 
difficult. The conditions of the shoots were as usual, viz., strictly 
ofi:-hand, 200yds. range, German ring target. Scores: 
King Target. Union Target.
