between two rings being nearly the diameter of the bullet makes 
it easy to determine the value of shots when they are bunched, 
as the outer cut of the bullet will determine the value of the inner 
cut. . 
"The advantages of establishing a standard gallery target are 
many. It will admit of favorable comparisons of published scores 
and "thereby increase the interest in rifle shooting. This is the 
solo idea of the writer, who has gone to considerable trouble and 
expense and seeks no pecuniary benefit therefrom. _ The prices of 
cuts and printed targets were given to the lowest bidders, and are 
as cheap as possible for good work and material. 
'"J he cuts may be obtained from the Pittsburg Photo Engravmg 
Co., 347 Fifth avenue, Pittsburg, Pa., for GO cents. The targets, 
printed on first quality of paper iike sample, may be obtamed from 
Louis Volz, 620 Grant street, Pittsburg, Pa., for $2 per thousand.

poned to the next convenient day. The club house at Oyster Bay 
will be opened informally and the ferry service established on 
Friday afternoon. May 27. On Saturday, May 28, at 12 o'clock 
noon, colors will be hoisted and saluted, and the club house placed 
in commission for the season. The clay-pigeon shooting grounds 
will be ready for use, and guns may be hired and ammunition 
purchased at the club house. Unfavorable weather has delayed 
the completion of the golf course, and announcement will be made 
when it is ready for use. Plerbert L. Satterlee has been appointed 
fleet captain, and W. G. Ulshoeffer has been appointed 
signal officer for the current year. 
After a conference with the Engineers' Department of the Army, 
the Atlantic Y. C. has been compelled to abandon its extensive 
racing programme for the season, as the mining of the Narrows 
and Lower Bay, and the incidental restrictions on all craft using 
the waters, make it impossible to race. Some races may be 
held for the smaller boats through the season. On May 21 a 
number of members visited the new club station at Sea Gate, 
the house being completed, and enjoyed an informal opening, 
dinner being served in the evening. John R. Parkhurst has been 
appointed superintendent and Emile Dugas steward. The steam- 
boat Defender has been chartered for the season, and will make 
four trips daily between Liberty Island pier, at the battery, and 
the club dock. Pass books will be furnished upon application to the 
stiperintendent. Members not having them will hand their cards 
to the captain. 
The Harlem Y. C. will hold its annual regatta, the first of the 
Sound Y.R.A. races, on Decoration Day, as originally scheduled. The 
club has issued the following notice: "In answer to numerous 
inquiries the regatta committee herewith submits to the members 
-and friends of the club the abstract of a letter received from the 
War Department in answer to an inquiry regarding the safety 
•of the steamer and yachts from danger of any kind during the 
coming regatta, viz. : 'United States Engineer's Office, Willets 
Point, Queens County, N. Y., May 12, 1898.— Mr. A. G. Wigand, 
Secretary Regatta Committee Harlem Y. C, No. 519 East 121st 
Street, New York City: Dear Sir — There will be no danger from 
submarine mines, to lives or boats, while the latter are following 
the regatta course shown on the cliart accompanying your note 
of May 11, 1898. Very respectfully, John G. D. Knight, Major 
Corps of Engineers Commanding.' As all. questions relative to 
any danger whatever are thus set aside, the committee herewith 
gives notice that the regatta will be held without fail, and trusts 
that the members and their friends will favor us with a large 
attendance." 
A meeting of the trustees of the Knickerbocker Y. C. was held 
on May 19, and it was decided to postpone the annual regatta of 
the club until a later date, owing to the obstructions placed in 
the Sound by the United States Government. It was reported 
that in the vicinity of Throgg's Neck there was a channel only 
500ft. wide that was clear of submarine mines, which was con- 
sidered inadequate for maneuvering the yachts in a race. 
The opening race of the New Rochelle Y. C. will be held on 
Saturday, May 28, starting at 2 o'clock. Entries close with the 
secretary of the regatta committee. Box 735j New Rochelle, N. Y., 
on Thursday, May 26. Races have been arranged for the 30 and 
25ft. classes of cabin cats, and the 25 and 20ft. classes of open cats. 
In addition there will be a special race for the open class of 21ft. 
knockabouts. Silver prizes will be awarded in each class. 
Aileen, steam yacht, is in use about New York Harbor as a pa- 
trol boat. 
The U. S. Government has recently ordered of the Daimler 
Motor Co. six launches for use as patrol boats. 
The early publication is announced by Horace Cox of an 
entirely new book, by Mr. Dixon Kemp, entitled "An Exposition 
of Racing Rules, Customs and Practices Observed in Match Sail- 
ing, including Decisions on Particular Cases of Protest." 
Queen Mab, cutter, N. L. Francis, has been sold to J. S. Fay, 
Jr., of Boston. 
The new knockabout Indiaiiola, designed by Mr. Crowninshield 
for Mr. Alburger, of the Indian Harbor Y. C, has been com- 
pleted by Eccles, of Nahant, and has sailed for New York. Eccles 
has started a Mongoose II. for A. D. Irving, Jr., to replace Mon- 
goose I., the new boat being also designed by Crowninshield. 
The FoKEST AND STREAM is pvt to press each week on 
Tuesday. Correspondence intended for publication 
should reach us at the latest hy Monday, and as much 
arlier aspracticable.

For a Standard Gallery Target. 
A GENTLEMAN wl;o is an enth-asiast with the rifle, and who is par- 
ticularly fond of gallery practice, has sent us some specimens of 
a target for gallery purposes that he hopes may some day be 
adopted -xs a standard. His letter, that accompanies the cut of the 
targets, reads as follows: 
"I herewith inclose a target which I trust you will consider of 
sufficient merit to adopt as a standard in gallery shooting. I 
claim nothing especially original in its design; the Zettler Bros, 
and the St. Louis Rifle and Pistol Club having used targets with 
%in. space between rings. . The count is less cumbersome than 
the German ring target; however, if a comparison is desired by 
adding ten to each shot you have the German ring count. The 
four line is the limit of the Creedmoor four, and the three line the 
limit of the Creedmoor three. These outer lines are not of much 
consequence, hov/ever, as the Creedmoor target is pretty nearly 
obsolete and few shots are outside the four ring. This target is 
simple m meas-urement, having no fractional parts. The space
