Valiant, steam yacht, W. K. Vanderbilt, sailed from 
New York Jan. 8 with her owner on board. She will go 
to Southampton, and thence to the Mediterranean. She is 
expected back about May. On Jan. 15 she arrived at the 
Azores. 
The fast launch presented to Harvard College a few 
years ago by the late Frank Thompson, for coaching the 
crews, M'as recently burned with the boat house at Cam- 
bridge. A new launch of similar size will be built by 
La\vley & Son, of 51ft. over all, 7ft. loin, beam and 3ft. 
draft, with a working speed of sixteen and one-half miles. 
Owners of yachts in Chicago are pleased at the pros- 
pect of having cruising stations established at three or 
four points along the lake, between this city and Mackinac, 
by the time the next yachting season is fairly under way. 
Com. Morgan, of the Chicago Y. C, is apparently the 
pioneer in this movement, and he already has plans well 
under way for the construction of a private club house, 
pier and other conveniences at a point near Kenosha. 
Charles li. Thorne is another yachting enthusiast who 
has a plan looking to the accommodation and comfort of 
those who like to take a long trip during the hot months, 
and would do so oftener but for tbe lack of accommoda- 
tions in the way of recruiting stations and resting places 
on the journey. Mr. Thorne has his eye on an island 
away up in Grand Traverse Bay, and if he can secure it, 
which he will not be able to do until after he has gone 
through with a lot of negotiation with Government 
officials, he will build there a club house for himself and 
put in the improvements necessary to make the place a 
cruising station for weary yachting sojourners who are far 
away from home. 
Still other Chicago yachtsmen are at least considering 
plans of a similar nature, one having in mind a place on an 
island so far away as the straits, and the chances are that 
before long there will be on the Great Lakes a series of 
cruising stations affording some of the conveniences which 
are offered to New York yachtsmen now every summer 
when they start out upon their trips.— Chicago "Tribune,

The Spalding St, Lawrence Boat Company has a force 
of upward of sixty men at work, and is very busy in its 
various departments. It is building ten 30ft. l.w.l. 
launches for the Electric Launch Company, of New York, 
and also ten 18ft. launches, with a cabin electric yacht of 
35ft. l.w.l., from designs by Gardner & Cox, for George 
Bullock, Esq. The hollow spar department is already full 
of orders, for all sizes of spars. A new department for 
the building of canvas-covered canoes has been organized, 
with several expert workmen in this class of work. The 
canoes, with an inner skin of light cedar and an outer 
covering of canvas enamelled, are of moderate price and 
very serviceable and durable. They are advertised on 
another page. Among the sailing craft are two designed 
by C. H. Crane, an i8ft. bulb fin racing boat for Dr. A. 
Augsburg, of Riga, Russia, and a 17ft. R.M. boat for 
George M. Pynchon, Esq., of Chicago. Besides these are 
various small sailing craft.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Clui secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns^ also any news notes they may care to have printed. Ties 
on all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. Mai 
allsuck matter to Forest and Stream Publishing- CompanVy 346 Broad- 
way., New York. 
The Brooklyn Eagle has many good things in its columns, but in 
its trap news it has many things which would also be good if they 
were true. It has accounts of shoots which are always of yesterday, 
but may be of yesterday or even several yesterdays. In its last Sunday 
edition it states that 40,000 pigeons for the week of the next Grand 
American Handicap, that Mr. Elmer Shaner has already begun 
to look around him and to make arrangements for procuring the 
necessary pigeons for that big contest; that 17,500 pigeons last year 
were used in the Grand American Handicap alone, and that the birds 
must be all picked birds. As to all this, there were 8,467 birds used 
in the G. A. H. last year, something different from 17,500. Mr. 
Shaner has not begun to look around for birds; the birds are pro- 
vided by contract by the Interstate Park Association in the sarne 
manner that they were provided at Elkwood Park. The birds were 
not all picked birds last year; they probably will be a better lot 
this year. Nevertheless the Eagle's ideas would all be very inter- 
esting if true. 
A Pittsburg paper states as follows: "Western Pennsylvania 
will be represented at the great shoot at Monte Carlo this year 
as usual. For the last seven years there has been at least one man 
from this city at the event at the town where the largest gambling 
house of the world is located. The shooting is now in orogress, 
but the principal event will be the Grand Prix du Casino, which 
lakes place Jan. 29, 30 and 31. J. O'H. Denny and F. H. Denny, 
Ihe shooters, well knov/n here, are in England now, and will cross 
the channel in time for the big event, m which they will shoot. 
Shooters from all parts of the world are entered. The first prize 
is worth $2,500." 
Mr. Noel Money, who is well known to the shooting fraternity of 
America, has accepted a lieutenancy in the "Imperial Yeomanry," 
1,500 strong, and probably is now en route to South Africa to take 
part in the serious shooting events which thereabouts are rife at 
present. It was understood that he sailed on last Saturday. The 
qualifications for acceptance in this body are extremely exacting. 
A high physical perfection, a knowledge of military tactics, ability 
to shoot well and ride across country are of the first requirements. 
All his friends will wish him success and safety in the perilous 
tnission of war.
