Quincy Y. C, 
'. QuINCY — ^BOSTON H.-VRBOK, 
Saturday, Sept. i. 
The Quincy Y. C. sailed its annual fall regatta on Sept, 
1 with a good fleet of starters and a moderate easterly 
breeze. A foul at the line between two of the Hanley 
2S-footers led to a personal encounter between the parti- 
sans of the two boats on the club float after the finish, and 
to a very strange and summary decision by the race com- 
mittee. As Hanley and Al Kyris were at the line to 
sitart, both on port tack, the former came about with the 
gun for the line and was struck l)y the bowsprit of Al 
Kyris. Hanlej^ claimed that she had fairly filled away 
on starboard tack and that Al Kyris, still on port tack, 
should have avoided her. Al Kyris claimed that Hanley 
tacked so close to her that the foul occurred before 
Hanley had filled away on starboard tack and before Al 
Kyris could avoid a collision. Each side filed a protest 
with the committee after the race, and as the owner of 
Al Kyris, J. F. Brown was walking along the club float 
he met J. . T, Bache, one of the crew of Hanley. Some 
words ensued, and Mr. Brown was struck in the moitth. 
He seized a chair to defend himself, but the bystanders 
interfered. As a consequence of this quarrel, the race 
committee refused to entertain either protest. Hanley 
fared the best in the foul, and made good her advantage 
over the course. Zaza was disqualified for leaving the 
starting buoy on the wrong side on the second round.

f I'l Moore, secretary of the Zanesville Gun Club, writes 
us as follows: "Our tournament is progressing nicelv. New and 
"■'Closed grounds will be used. The ofifice men (thre'e) are being 
drilled to make them competent. The field captain in all our 
Pi'^ctice shoots is showing himself capable of handling fullv one 
hundred or more shooters. The press is giving us all the space 
and notonety we desire. In consequence we are all happy and 
hopeful. From letters received up to this writing. Messrs. Heikes, 
Fanning,^ \oung, Alkire, Trimble, Gamble, Squires. Rhoads, 
Allen, Dade, Waddell and all the crackerjacks will be in evi- 
dence, so you see a handicap don't scare true sportsmen. Be- 
sides the above attraction, Mrs. Meyers, the present lady cham- 
pion target shot of America, and Miss Nettie King, of St. Louis, 
Mo., will shoot a championship match here during our tourna- 
ment, at 50 targets and 50 live birds. To this may be added a 
-;^tch tn shoot off a tie between Springfield and Bellefontaine O 
the club IS preparing two sets of expert traps to work in con- 
junction with their magautrap, so a breakdown of either will not 
stop nor even delay the shoot. The tournament is a handicap 
one, and will be run on the plan set forth in your paper by 
Mr. ^^aters. Any one desiring to attend had better read that 
article, then write me for programme, which will be headed 
Handicap Tournament Given by the Zanesville, O., Gun Clnh

Gun Club, the Mercury states; "During the dav about 3.000 bifis 
were released from the traps and the majority of them dropped 'to 
pieces It IS sad to note the insecure manner in which the birds 
were held together, but this is mild como.ired with the following • 
llie rapid fire system was employed and five men shoot in ouick' 
succession, the traps being sprung from the shooting stand bv' 
electricity. The arrangement was devised bv George Eo^oers and' 
I. T. Prosser, of 'Woonsocket. and it works perfectly " Why' were
