YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
The Riverside Y. C. has just received from G. L. Sea- 
bury & Co. a fine 50ft. naphtha launch for service about 
the club station. On June 13 the launch went in to the 
steamer dock to take naphtha aboard, and while lying 
there the freight steamer Maid of Kent passed close in- 
shore and crowded the lautich against the dock, smashing 
her sides in and damaging her liadly. 
9^ 
The dispute between W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and Robert 
L. Forrest over the ownership of the launch Leading 
Wind will be settled in the courts, Mr. Vanderbilt having 
brought suit. 
On June 13 at about 4:30 A. M. fire was discovered in 
the storehouse of the Pavonia Y. C. at Communipaw% and 
though the firemen saved the club house, the storehouse 
was burned with four yachts on the beach nearby. They 
were the open boats H. H. Holmes, Bobolink, Agnes and 
Maria. The storehouse and its contents involve a loss 
of about $2,000, and the yachts were probably wor*th as 
mtich more.

The West and the Gun. 
In the old days, when some of us used to live out in the West, it 
was a matter ot no surprise to anybody to see men carrying a belt 
and si.x-shooter. In some localities this was full dress, or at least 
one did not feel fully equipped without the heavy gun swung to his 
hip. Some men wore the gun because they wanted to make an im- 
pression; some wore it from habit, and a few because they needed 
it now and then. The gun habit was a very close-sticking one, and 
any man whoever wore one for a term of a few years found it diffi- 
cult to balance v\p right when he began to leave it of¥. 
The old heavy six-shooter was a good deal of a cannon, and there 
were not very many men who ever learned how to shoot closely 
v.'ith it, though , one man could make as big a noise and as big a 
bluff with it as another. I remember once — as showing how at 
least a few men did learn to handle the heavy six-shooter of the 
Sin. barrel and the .local. — that one day down in New Mexico some 
of us were out shooting in the edge of town, among the party being 
Pat Garrett, sheriff ot Lincoln^ county, the man who killed the 
notorious desperado Billy the Kid. The mark we were using was 
a postal card, tacked up perhaps 15yds. away or less. Some one 
asked Pat to try a round at it, and he did so, putting four shots 
inside the card without any apparent difficulty. "Now, I'll be a 
little more careful," said he. "Let's see if I can hit the stamp 
mark." He took careful sight this time, and sure enough he 
nearly centered the blurred stamp mark in the corner of the card. 
But very few men ever gained such skill with the regular .45 am- 
munition. 
The old scene far down in the JCew Mexican arroyo came up to- 
day in memory, as I looked at an object that l saw in the show 
case of Van Uxem's gun store, the first ob.iect of the sort in 
Chicago, it is said. It was a curious looking tiling, that looked as 
though it had been made with a hatchet, a right-angled looking 
affair, with a shortish handle attached to a longer metal part. It 
looked like anything but a revolver, and one needed assurance to 
Ijelieve that it was really a revolver, and a Colt. It was the new 
automatic Colt, smokeless, rimless, caliber .38, You piill back the 
top of the barrel, rinding that the top is a sort of case, enveloping 
the barrel proper. This sets the hammer', .\fter that you can pnli 
the trigger us fast as you want to, hm the g\m will always ije just 
a little aiiead of you. It will shoot its seven shots, of the powerful 
nitro cartridge, as fast as you can bat your eye, if you can bat 
yoiu" front hnger that fast. The recoil ejects the empties and loads 
the gun. Yovt can carry the machine in your trousers pockets, and 
it is big enougli to kill almost any animal that one would meet. It 
handles well, and best of all it does not kick up like the old black 
powder .45s. The recoil is taken up by the slip and recession of the 
barrel case, and it does not get above the line of the sight and 
throw up tlie barrel the way the old heavy guns did. It ought to 
prove, a very accurate little weapon,_ and I believe it would make a 
pretty practical armament for a trip where a man had to go far 
and travel light. It looks about as much like Pat Garrett's gun 
as a piece of pie resembles a Patent Office report. Those Brown- 
ing boys, out m Ogden, Utah, who get vip all these revolutionizing 
inventions in firearms, are Western men, and they must have an 
odd reflection now and then that there is no longer any West, no 
longer any Billy the Kids, no longer much use for guns, big or 
little. Yet, methinks that one of our old-time bad men would 
sneak for the high timber should he see a sheriff coming down 
the street with a couple of these new little Colts annexed to his 
person. There can be no real personal satisfaction in being shot 
full of holes' so rapidly^ E. Hough.
