Brooklyn Gun CItib. 
_ Hrooklyn, March 11.— The reguUu" club shoot of the Brooklyn 
Gun Club brought out quite a nice attendance, considering that 
the Garden tournament was in progress and was a star attrac- 
tion to the shooters. The main event was for the Marshall trophy. 
Dr. Douglas and Waters tied for it, the former winning easrly in 
the shoot-off. The conditions in this event were 25 targets and a 
handicap. The scores and handicaps were: Dr, Douglas 17, with 
6 handicap, 23; Waters, 18. with 5 handicap, 23; G. S. Wood 15, and 
6, 21: Dr. Kemble 12, and 6, 18; Dr. Creamer, 13, and 8. 21; 
Dr. Stillman 15, and 6. 21; Lane 15, and 7, 22; VV. Hopkins 19, and 
3, 22; J. B. Hopkins 16 and 4, 20. In the shoot-o£f, Dr. Douglas 
scored 16; Waters 11. 
The light was dull and the .shooting difficult. 
Dr. Douglas has now two wins out of three for this trophy, 
Dr. Kemb'e being the other winner. The contest is now narrowed 
down to these two gentlemen. If any one else wins it in the next 
contest, it belongs to Dr, Douglas, as he then will have won a 
majority of the contests. If Dr, Kemble wins in the contest of 
this week, Saturday, then these two gentlemen will shoot off a tie.

IN NEW JERSEY. 
Oceanics — Hudsons. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 13.— The second of the series of 
matches between the Oceanic Gun Club, of Rockaway Park, 
L. I., and the Hudson Gun Club, of Jersey City, took place on 
the grounds of the latter, and resulted in a tie, the match being 
closely contested from start to finish. Woods was the star per- 
former, scoring 24. The conditions were unfavorable for good 
scores, the wind, stifi and "steady, blowing from left to right 
across the traps. No. 5 threw a target which dropped quickly, 
while No. 1 threw a target which rose high against the wind. 
The light during this contest was dull and bad. The return 
match is fixed for April 3. The greatest good fellowship pre- 
vailed- At the first count, the victory was conceded to the 
Oceanics, and the Hudsons heartily cheered them. On a re- 
count, it was discovered that the race was a tie, and the 
Oceanics heartily cheered the Hudsons. The men were sand- 
wiched in, a member of each club alternately. After the first 
two squads had shot, the Hudsons were but one ahead, 97 to 96. 
The two next squads tied on 81, so that when the last squad 
went up, there was but one target difference in the score. The 
squad of the Oceanics came out one aliead, which just made the 
tie. It was a contest of extraordinary closeness throughout: 
Oceanic Gun Club's Team.

A Modern Centerboard Boat. 
The Cape Cod catboat as she existed a few years ago 
was one of the most useful but at the same time the most 
crude and inconsistent of small yacht types. The numer- 
ous good qualities of the type among all others of similar 
light draft, and safety from capsizing, the accommodation, 
power to carry sail and ability for rough water work, have 
been demonstrated time and again ; and yet when the boat 
is carefully studied, she presents but a collection of bad 
features. The proportion of beam to waterline was exces- 
sive, the forward waterlines were very fine and the after 
ones disproportionately full, the plump stem and the mere 
siiggestion of an after overhang cramped the buttocks and 
diagonals badly, and the sail plan was about as bad as it 
could be, with one big mainsail, a heavy mast stepped to 
the fore end of the fine waterline, and a boom extending 
far abaft the counter. The very name of catboat was a 
contradiction, as many of the type carried jibs either from 
choice or necessity, though they could be used in a way 
without them. The good points of the type as demon- 
started in actual use and the bad points which dis- 
closed themselves in any analysis of the design indicated 
great possibilities for improvement, through the use of 
various modern features, but the first steps in this direc- 
tion, as illustrated at times in the Forest and Stre.\m, 
were crude and unsuccessful. 
Within the past year or two, however^ a great deal has 
been accomplished in the improvement and development 
of the light draft centerboard type. The design here 
shown, the work of Mr. W. H. Hand, Jr., of the Buzzard's 
Bay Yacht Agency, New Bedford, Mass., is in modern 
parlance a "knockabout," and far removed from the old 
Cape cat, both in appearance and performance; but at 
the same time it represents really the development of 
those essentials which made the old "Caper" so popular in 
her home waters and along the Atlantic coast. 
The yacht is of about the same waterline as the aver- 
age Cape cat, 21ft., with the characteristic midship sec- 
tion and about the same depth of hull. The beam, 
however, has been reduced and the waterlines better bal- 
anced, the bow being filled out and the quarter fined away, 
greatly improving the main body of the boat, and at the 
same time the diagonals have been extended fairly and 
harmoniously for their full natural length, forming good 
overhangs forward and aft. The least freeboard has been 
somewhat increased, and the longer ends have made it 
possible to reduce the freeboard at bow and transom, 
giving a much more sightly sheer. 
The sail plan is from the outset a sloop rig, with mast 
properly placed, instead of a "morfydite" sloop with mast 
originally stepped for the cat rig and a jury bowsprit with 
no support from the hull. The added deck room and 
better proportioning of all parts gives space for a large 
cabin house amidships in place of the cramped cuddy of 
the old catboat, while at the same time the big cockpit 
that was such a feature of the old boat is retained in the 
new. While the draft has been increased about 6in., it is

Still light enough for general use in all localities along the 
Sound and the Eastern coast, and the addition takes the 
form of an iron keel, that makes the yacht practically non- 
capsizable, and at the same time helps her to windward 
with but a moderate-sized board, or in fact with no board 
at all in shoal water. 
The yacht, now building, was designed for general sail- 
ing and cruising about the Sound and Buzzard's Ba}-,
