OYSTER BAY. 
Sept. 18-22. 
The Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. arranged a race for 
the 70-footers on Sept. 18, only Rainbow and Mnieola II. 
being present. The start was set for 2:30, off Center 
Island, at which time half a gale from the north was blow- 
ing both yachts being reefed, with jib headers set. Just 
before the signal, Mineola and Rainbow were ni collision, 
the former losing her topmast. Rainbow sailed one round 
of the course, when she was stopped by the committee. 
Mineola went to City Island for repairs, while her steam 
tender went to Bristol for a new topmast. The race 
committee met at the club house, and after hearing the evi- 
dence, disqualified Rainbow and ordered a resail. 
The two met Sept. 21 in a light wind, W. to S.W. 
Rainbow was well sailed and made a big gain on the 
windward work, finally winning by over five minutes.

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
The Covves Number of The Yachtsman for 1900 is 
quite up to the usual high standard, especially in the 
matter of illustrations, of which there are many, large and 
small. The opening article, "From Cowes to Cape 
Town," contains the biographies and portraits of many 
yachtsmen, among them Lord Dudley, Lord Dunraven, 
the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Sudley, Lord Wolverton, 
Messrs. Philip Perceval, R. C. Leigh, Andrew Coats, 
Claude Allan, H. R. Langrishe and Commander De Hor- 
sey, R. N., who have taken part in the war in South 
Africa. A very striking photo shows the transport Kil- 
donan Castle leav-ing the Thames on May 25 for the Cape 
with 2,2q8 officers and men for service at the front, and 
just overtaking the yawl Brynhild, under spinaker and 
inizzen staysail, the leader in the handicap match of the 
Thames Y. C. then under way. Another good photo 
reproduction shows the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, 
the old sidewheeler, at anchor in Dartmouth Harbor! 
Mr. Linton Hope contributes an interesting article de- 
scribing some modern freaks of English and French or- 
igin. A good article on the old cutter Fiona, designed 
and built by Will Fife, Sr., in 1865, has excellent por- 
traits of Mr. Fife and the noted Capt. John Houston, her 
sailing master, and also a view of the Fife yard at Faitlie. 
Two portraits of the yacht are also given, one from a 
painting made in t866 and one from a photo made as 
. she won the Heligoland cup this year. The difference 
in the sails is of itself an eloquent commentary on the 
legitimate advances of yachting. Mrs. Maude Speed, wife 
of the author of "Cruises in Small Yachts and Large 
Canoes," contributes- a sketch of a cruise on the South 
coast in the four-ton cutter Lerna which Mr. Speed has 
owned of late years and in which the two have made 
many cruises.

.r-J" '^'?^ Brooklyn Standard of Sept. 16. under the caption of 
Trapshootmg, Old and New," by a "Field Shot," the old style 
of shooting under Long Island rules, use of one barrel, gun below 
the elbow, is compared with the modern style— use of both barrels, 
gun held in any position which the shooter pleases- to the dis- 
advantage of the modern way. The older method is also de- 
clared to be nearer the style of field sihooting. Pigeon shooting 
does not resemble field shooting, and cannot be made to re- 
semble It. However, comparing the old style with the new, there 
IS a factor in the latter which cannot be ignored— that is to say, 
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. With the 
use of only one barrel many birds are wounded and escape in a 
maimed condition. With the use of both barrels an insignificant 
number escape. It is much better to have pigeon shooting, use 
of both barrels, than it is to have no pigeon shooting at all. 
Ihe programme of the Bloomfield Gun Club's third annual 
tournament provides two days at targets and two at sparrows— 
Oct. 2, 3. 4 and 5. There will be $200 in cash added. Guns and 
shells shipped to the secretary, E. E. Neal, will be cared for. 
Shooting commences at 9 o'clock. Two sets of traps. Sergeant 
system. Five per cent, will be deducted from purses for high 
average money, to be divided equally between the ten high guns 
shooting through the entire programme. There are twelve target 
events each day, 15 and 20 targets, $1.50 and $2 entrance. Four 
moneys when over fifteen entries; three moneys if less. There are 
ten sparrow events each day, 10, 15 and 20 sparrows, $2.50 $i5 and 
$5 entrance. Twenty-five yards rise, 35yds. boundary; a bird once 
down within the boundary to be scored dead. Moneys divided 
40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent.; if less than fifteen entries, three 
moneys. John Parker will manage the tournament. 
The New York German Gun Club is in a prosperous condition, 
its membership having largely increased. Mr. John Wellbrock 
is president. On Sept. 17 there were twenty-four members present 
at the club's shoot at Dexter Park. Dr. B. K. Wood, the nom 
de fusil of a gentleman who saws wood instead of Bones, killed 
straight in the club event at 10 birds, with Mr. J. Schlicht. The 
score: Dr. Wood 10, John Schlicht 10, Dr Hudson 9, John Well- 
brock 9, Henry Mesloh 9, J. H. Voss 9,. Charles Cone 9, Peter

The bluerock tournament of Millers Gun Club, Toledo, O., 
Oct. 2, 3 and 4, has ten events on the last two days, at 15 and 20

to the Rose system, 7, 5, 3 and 2. Oct. 2 is practice day. and as 
many 15-target events will be shot as time will permit. Shooting

the grounds. Guns and ammunition sent in care of the secretary, 
Geo. Voik, 31 Erie street, will be sent to the grounds free of 
charge. , One-half cent of each target thrown will be reserved for

In the final bout for the Sanders-Storms trophy Mr. Edwafd 
Banks, the Chesterfieldian secretary of the American E C & 
Schultze Gunpowder Co., gaUoped home some yards ahead of his 
competitors in regular Tod Sloan style, riding on the neck of his 
gun, and also on those neckses of his competitors. He centered 
the targets with most discouraging precision, and worse still 
broke nearly all of them, the latter phase appealing most earnestly 
to the tearful judge and so-called peers. By so doing he segre- 
gated the trophy for all time, so that this occurrence is not 
likely to happen again. It is now in order to propose something 
hard. 
At the Peters Cartridge Co.'s tournament at Raleigh, N. C, 
Oct. 16 and 17, under the auspices of the Raleigh Gun Club, $150
