Trap at Lyndhurst. 
Jan. 18. — The match race to-day between T. H. Dunkerly and 
Charles Lee resulted in a score of 23 to 14 in favor of Dunkerly. 
Lee drew the hardest birds, but still his score is lower than 
the luck of the birds would warrant. The conditions were 25 
live birds, $25 a side, loser to pay for the birds. 
In the first of two prize matclres, at Berry's Creek, they tied 
on 18.' Tn the second, at Singac, on Bunn s grounds, the score 
was 21 to 20 in favor of Dunkerly:

Jeannette GoQ Cltib. 
Guttenburg, N. J., Jan. 20. — The regular cltib shoot of the 
Jeannette Gun Club was held at- the Guttenburg race track to- 
day. The event was at 10 live birds, handicaps ranging from 25 
to 33yds. Hainhorst and Carstens tied for first place in Class A, 
both having clean scores. In the shoot-ofif Hainhorst again killed 
all his birds, while Carstens missed his last, which gave the 
Class A trophy to the former. Rottman won the Class B trophy 
for the third time, and it is now his personal property. Scores:

Cartefet Gtin Club. 
Jan. 17. — There were five competitors in the regular monthly 
shoot of the Carteret Gun Club to-day. The conditions were $50 
entrance, 50 live birds each, 30yds. rise and 50yds. boundary. 
There was a stiff northwest wind, which made the birds fly 
well. Mr. Robert A. Welch was first with 46, 4 being dead out. 
Capt. Money was but one behind, and won second. Messrs. 
Foxhall Keene and Leonard Finletter tied on 41, and C. Ferguson

New Utrecht Gun Club. 
Woodlawn, L. I., Jan. 21. — The regular club shoot of the New- 
Utrecht Gun Club was held at Woodlaiyn Park to-day. A large 
crowd was present to witness the shooting, and some neyv faces 
were seen among the shooters. The shooting, on the whole, was 
rather poor. Nostrand won the club event with 21 breaks, and 
Rasch won the Brush gun event with the same score. Gaughen 
retained possession of the challenge plate by defeating F. A. 
Thompson by a .score of 18 to 14. Live birds will be shot at next-

Sheepshfad Bay, N. Y., Jan. 19. — The first monthly shoot of 
the Shcepshead Bay Rod and Gun Club competition for gold 
badge, 7 birds per man, was shot at the club grounds at Shceps- 
head Bay, Jan. 19. Two members tied for first place by downing 
6 of their 7 birds each. In the shoot-oft' Fred Lundy missed 
on his first bird, a lightning right-quarterer, thereby allowing his 
nephew to kill his first only in order to take the badge, which 
he did in good style:

The next division of our subject is : 
MEASURING INSTRUMENTS. 
a, For Arbitrarj'^ Mea.surements — 
Plain dividers. 
Hairspring dividers. 
Proportional dividers. 
Beam compass. 
b, For Conventional Measurements — 
Measures : Rules and tape lines. 
Scales: Plain. 
Plotting. 
Protractors. 
The first class includes the instruments for making 
arbitrary measurements; as in transferring any distance 
from one part of a drawing to another. The second class 
indules the rules and scales for measuring and laying off 
according to the conventional standards of feet, meters, 
etc. 
Next to an accurate and reliable straight-edge, the 
plain dividers (Fig. 49) are the most important instru- 
ment of the marine draftsman's outfit. They are (the 
plural form has an odd sound, and "it is" would seem 
more natural) in his hands a great part of the time, a 
sirigle design calls for a thousand different settings; and 
it is a matter of necessity that the tool shall be as nearly 
perfect as it can be made. It must be as light in weight 
as the requisite stiffness will admit, and it must balance 
easily and naturally in the hand. The joint must open 
and close smoothly and evenly, not moving by jumps; it 
must respond to a moderate touch of the fingers, and yet 
must hold the legs accurately in place in ordinary manipu- 
lation, setting off distances, picking up and laying down. 
The points must be of steel, and properly tempered and 
ground to the sharpness of a needle. Their office is to 
make a small but distinct hole, not through the paper, 
but just in the surface. 
The most convenient size for general use is 5in., and 
the English pattern, with the triangular s|Si»el legs rounded 
to conical points for the ]a.st ^4in. of their length, is the 
most shapely. 
The hairspring dividers (Fig. 50) are similar to the 
ordinary, but one leg has a spring, instead a hinged, joint, 
with a fine adjusting screw. In this way the points may 
be adjusted with much greater accuracy than in the 
ordinary dividers. With the latter, the draftsman should 
be able to set the two points accurately, by a slight pres- 
sure of the fingers of otie hand, to two spots pricked in the 
paper, or to two very fine pencil lines. When it comes, 
however, to a finer class of work, such as the dividing of 
a given straight line or the circumference of a circle into 
Fig. 49. Fig. ,50. 
Fig. 51. 
Fig. 52. 
Fig. 58. 
a certain number of equSi parts, still greater accuracy 
is necessary. For such a purpose the hairspring dividers 
are first set close to the given spots, and any minute ad- 
justment is made by a slight turn of the adjusting screw, 
moving the lower part of one leg a little to or from the 
main part. 
In use the main joint of the hairspring dividers may be 
set to work more stiffly than in the plain dividers, so as to 
be less liable to accidental derangement ; a very im- 
portant point where the same measurement has to be laid 
off a number of times. In both instruments the plain 
double-sector joint is to be preferred to the pivot joint, 
as the latter has of necessity a yoke spanning the two 
-legs, with a central handle. In practice it will be found 
that the plain head of the double-sector joint is much 
easier to manipulate than the regular milled handle of the 
pivot joint. 
The spacing dividers (Fig. 51) belong to the bow 
family, already described, the two legs being forged from 
spring steel. They are a very convenient tool for laying oft' 
small distances, 3 in. and under. In the larger sizes they are 
apt to be springy and unreliable, unless very well propor- 
tioned and made; but within their range they are lighter 
and more easily handled than the regular hairspring di- 
viders. As in all bow instruments, the thread and nut 
should be carefully made. 
The proportional dividers are made with the joint abottt 
the middle of the legs, which cross like an X, and with 
points at both ends of each leg. In the simplest form, 
called whole and half dividers, (Fig. 52), a fixed joint i.s 
made at one-third the extreme length, so that the two 
legs on one end are twice the length bf those on the other. 
When the short legs are set to any given distance,' the long 
legs will measure just twice the distance. - If they are ap- 
plied to a design made to the scale of lin. to the foot, 
every distance can be taken off with the short legs and 
laid off anew from the long ones, making a new drawing 
on a scale of 2in, to the foot. In the same way, if the 
original distances be taken with the long legs and laid 
off with the short ones, the scale of the new drawing will 
be Hin. to the foot. 
. This simple form is naturally of very limited use, but 
when the joint is made movable, by means of a sliding 
block and set screw (Fig. 53), the two ends may be al- 
tered to any desired proportion. In the most improved 
form of this instrument, the joint may be secured at any 
point within a range of two-thirds o£ the extreme length, . 
the sides of the slot iri which it moves being graduated,
