rock II., ordering them to reserves long stick of spruce 
,for Shamrock's spinaker boom. Mr. Fraser, man- 
ager of the company, commenting on this order, states 
that it will be the longest and largest hollow spruce wood 
spar- ever attempted, and thai it will be lighter by several 
hundred pounds than any spinaker boom used on any 
America Cup boat smce the modern large spinaker has 
been carried. 
Two books havfe been received this week tor review. 
One of them, written by the well-known designer. Mr. 
Charles D. Mower entitled, "How to Build a Motor 
Launch," will appeal to those yachtsmen who intend 
building a small boat, either power or sail. The other 
book is by Mr. Thomas Fleming Day '-'On Yachts and 
Yacht Handling." There is probably no writer more 
thoroughly qualified to deal with this subject than Mr. 
Day. for besides being a yachtsman he is also a deep 
sea sailor. Both these books are published by the Rud- 
der Publishing Co., 9 Murray street, New York City. 
A Schooner With a History. 
We understand that the schooner Lily White, now 
owned by Capt. W. H. Tow^les, will soon go to Tampa to 
be entirely rebuilt. Lily White has been a staunch vessel, 
and has gone through enough to destroy several vessels. 
In a heavy West Indian hurricane, while on a trip between 
Punta Rassa and Key West with a load of beef cattle, 
her sails and masts were carried away by the gale. She 
drifted around the Florida Keys and out into the Atlantic. 
The t^rew ran out of water and the no cattle on board 
nearlv all perished from thirst. She turned up at St. 
Augiistine after being out for eighteen days and given 
up for lost, and had about twenty live cattle when she 
reached that port. 
In July, 1897, Lily White was struck by a squall and 
capsized in the Gulf, on her way from Key West to 
Punta Rassa, Mr. Nathan Swain and a sailor losing their 
lives and other passengers and crew having a narrow 
escape from death after a terrible experience of twenty- 
four hours. The vessel again drifted around the Florida 
Keys, this time bottom upward, and how she ever escaped 
being smashed on the reefs is a mystery ; but she did, and 
•was picked up three weeks after the accident at Key 
Largo, ninety miles east of Key West. Hendry & Lang- 
ford brought her to Key West and again fitted her up for 
the cattle business, - 
Some months ago she become the property of Capt. 
Towles, but her troubles were not yet over, for the crew 
were caught in the act of smuggling dutiable goods from 
Cuba in January last, with the result that the vessel was 
confiscated by the Government, but again bought back by 
Mr. Towles. Now she is to be rebuilt, and is likely to 
figure for many years in the Gulf trade.— Fort Myers

Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
San Francisco, April 7.— The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club's 
shooting, stands were overcrowded to-day. The weather was fine. 
Many visitors were in attendance, among them Mr. J, B. Bradley, 
of Wyoming; Mr. J. B. Saunders, of Seattle, and Mr. J. H. Allen, 
of Chico, Cal., who tried their hands at our sport. Otto Feudner, 
the shotgun champion, took the wind from the experts' sails to- 
day with his S &. W. pistol, and proved that a man can excel 
with two weapons when he is made of the right stuff. His 34 is 
within 2 points of the best club score that has been shot for two 
years, and only 5 points away from club pistol record (29). It is 
!the more remarkable that he has been shooting this weapon but a 
few months. His ten best scores to-day averaged 49.9. Geo. 
Mannel, our president, beat his best previous efforts with the fine 
rifle, making 49. It bothered Champion Page to beat it, but he 
linally succeeded in making a 46. Dorrell felt particularly good, 
as his average for the day beat Pape's. Capt. Kuhnle found that 
his .22-7-45 was best at 50yds., his 17 being 1 point away from club 
record. Hoffman, Brannigan and Feudner have purchased a .22 
rifle and will be out for the captain's scalp, which is getting gray. 
It might be safe to predict that these youngsters will be gray be- 
fore thev catch Fred; any way, they will know they have had a 
match when they do hang his gray locks on their girdle. The 
bone that was broken in Young's right arm groaned and squeaked, 
but he banged away with pistol and revolver, and forgot the pain 
in the excitement of the sport, thankful to have his left or shooting 
hand unharmed. Dr. Twist is well over his last accident with his 
bike, and felt that the range was the safest place among sports, 
it is' well to add that in our long experience here, covering a period 
of nearly sixteen years no accident has ever occurred at any club 
shoot that we remember, which is a remarkable record, when com- 
pared with other sports, and reflects great credit upon the care- 
fulness of our shooting fraternity.

April 21. — A. J. Brannigan beat our club records on average 
work with his .38 Smith & Wesson revolver, and his 38 score is 
1 point behind the club's 10-shot record. Ilis 39 is the best group 
(3%in. ring) ever made in the club. The heavy wind alone pre- 
vented him beating the record on points in the latter score. • In 
ten entries he made 479, consecutive shooting, barring one score, 
and that his fourth. Some idea of his remarkable work can be 
gained by comparing this with the ten best in past years. Gor- 
man won in 1898 with 503, Young in 1899 with 582, and Daiss in 
1900 with 454. In just twenty entries and in two club .shoots he 
has to his credit 465 points, only 11 points behind Daiss' club 
record, and only three months ago we showed him how to load 
his revolver for his first shooting. Without doubt this is the best 
shooting ever done at 50yds. with a .38cal., and is a surprise to the 
.44cal. adherents. It also speaks well for the new .S. & W. His 
bullet was 1 to 20, from the Ideal mould, and crimped in a nitro 
.shell, which has a ring to prevent bullet from pressing upon 
powder. Dr. Twist beat his record with pistol, making 44, and 
Mannel astonished us all by scoring 6 and 12 in his only two 
entries in the 3-shot match with rifle. He realized that these two 
scores, if made in the coming bund shoot, would win a small 
fortune. 
A hew lady shooter appeared, and with Allen's little Stevens 
favorite, came within 4 points of the ladies' record, 20.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
A meeting of the promoters of the international team race was 
held in New York on Mondaj' of this week and many of the details 
concerning it were definitely settled. The series of international 
matches will be shot on the grounds of the Middlesex Gun Club, 
which are situated near Hendon. Also matches as teams and as 
individuals will be arranged to take place at Glasgow, Scotland, 
Belfast, Ireland, and other points as are under consideration, such 
as Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, etc. The stakes of the team 
race will be $2,500 a side. Mr. EdM'ard Banks, who has been one 
of the active promoters of the team race, has been very busy, as 
representative of the team in the matter of transportation, in ar- 
ranging passage for it. He secured passage on the steamer 
Canadian, of the Leyland lAnt. There will be ten men on the 
team, with two substitutes in reserve. The team will leave 
England June 29, on its return trip, reaching New York about 
July 8, which will give them time and opportunity to participate 
in the Pan-.A^merican tournament at Buffalo, July 15 to 20. The 
personnel of the team is as follows: Thomas A. Marshall, Keiths- 
burg, 111., captain; William R. Crosby, O'Fallon, 111.; R. R. 
Merrill, Milwaukee; Charles W. Budd, Des Moines, la.; Fred- 
erick B. Gilbert, Spirit Lake, la.; C. M. Powers, Decatur, III.;

The programme of the Montana State Sportsmen's Association's 
eighth annual tournament, at Great Falls, Mont., May 17 to 19, 
under the auspices of the Great Falls, Mont. Gun Club, can be 
obtained of Mr. Hugo Nalbach, secretary. This tournament is 
open to all amateur shooters, excepting the prize events, which 
are for members of the M. S. S. A. Professionals and manu- 
facturers' agents may shoot for targets. Shooting begins at 9:30. 
Five cents each for bluerocks, ,30 cents for pigeons. "The grounds 
will be open for practice on May 16. The annual meeting will 
take place on May 17, at 8 P. M. A fare of one and one-third 
for the round trip has been secured from all points on the Great 
Northern, Montana Central, and Great Falls & Canada railways. 
There will be contests for the bluerock championship, three-" 
man team fhamnionship. Butte Rod and Gun Cub medal, chal- 
lenge medal, and championship live-bird shoot. There is a liberal 
sum of added monev. 
m, 
The team shoot. New York vs. New Jersey, 'starts at 9 o'clock 
Friday, May 10, the last day of the New Jersey State Association's 
tournament. Each contestant shoots at 25 birds, 30yds. rise. En- 
trance cost of birds. To reach Smith Brothers' grounds, where 
the tournament takes place May 7 to 10, inclusive, from Jersey City 
or Newark, take the Plank road trolleys to Ferry and Foundry 
streets. Ship guns and shells to Smith Brothers, Ferry and 
Foundry streets, Newark, lu the N. Y.-N. J. team shoot the 
contestants will be paired to shoot against each other, thus pre- 
senting a series of individual matches as well as an aggregated 
team competition. Mr. C. W, Feigenspan, the famous expert, of 
Newark, is in charge of the New Jersey team arrangements, while
