Knicknefbockef Y. C Annttal Regatta* 
COLLEGE POINT— LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, June i. 
The Knickerbocker Y. C. held its annual regatta on 
Saturday, June i. The course was around Gangway Buoy 
near Sands Point, a distance of 14.5 miles. The wind was 
E.N.E. at the start. The Manhasset one-design boats 
finished at Gangway Buoy. This made it windward work 
for the first half of the course, a run back to Throgg's 
Neck, and as the wind veered to S.W. about 3 o'clock, 
made it a close hitch up to the finish. The Newport 
special thirties and the raceabouts made the prettiest rac- 
ing. Hera and Esperanza fought it out among them- 
selves. Hera got the best of the start and held her lead 
to the finish. In the raceabout class there was some good 
work between the Herreshoff boats, Rogue and Oonagh, 
the Purdon boat. Snapper, and the Crownshield-designed 
Badger. The latter was sailed by her owners, Mr. F. B. 
Jones and Mr. W. R. Thorsen, with the assistance of Mr. 
E. Burton Hart. This makes the third consecutive race 
Badger has won. The times were :

GRAVESEND BAY — NEW YORK BAY. 
Saturday, June i. 
Two of the Marine and Field Club one-design boats 
sailed a match race for $300 on Saturday, June i, over the 
club's course in Gravesend Bay. The two contestants 
were Kelpie and Quinque, owned respectively by Mr. W. 
K. Brown and Mr. L. H. Smith. The start was at 3:05 
o'clock in a S.E. breeze. Kelpie took the lead in the first 
round, but on the second round she was passed by 
Quinque, which boat finished 37s. in the lead. The times 
were :

Chicago, 111., June i.— In the trial spins off the lake 
.front on Decoration Day, Illinois, the Canadian cup de- 
fender, had her first test with another yacht. Her com- 
petitor was Josephine B., and the new boat proved able to 
take the measure of Josephine very easily. The start 
was fairly even, and at the breakwater gap Illinois was 
leading by 58s. This was a beat into the wind, and at 
this sort of going Illinois was unmistakably superior. She 
seemed very tractable, and her fashion of going pleased 
the knowing ones very much. 
On the homeward leg Josephine did a shade better,' 
Illinois gaining only about a minute. The start was at 
2:05 o'clock, and Illinois finished at 4:08:33, leading' 
Josephine iSm. The wind was not strong, but steady, a 
good sailing breeze. 
The building of the new club house of the Chicago Y. C. 
was enjoined by Clarence W. Marks, and a motion to 
dissolve the injunction was this week called before Judge 
Clitford, at which time counsel for Mr. Marks asked 
leave to file a bill of interpleader in the name of the 
Attorney-General, Mr. Hamlin. The latter was expected 
to appear in court within a few days. VLx. Marks owns 
the premises at Michigan avenue and Randolph street, 
and he objects to the erection of buildings along the 
breakwater. Judge Clifford continued the matter and the 
motion for dissokition will come up later. 
In the Derocation Day races Vencedor and Siren had a 
little spin together, but Vencedor gave Siren no show at 
all, beating her decisively before the four-mile crib was 
reached. This was the first time the boats have come 
together since 1896, and Vencedor seems greatly improved 
since her earlier davs. E. H. 
Yacht Qub Notes. 
The New Haven Y. C. had its opening race on Decora- 
tion Day, May 30. There was one race for sloop yachts 
over a fifteen-mile course. It was won by Evelyn, owned 
by the Rev. John O. Berg, pastor of the Seamen's Bethel, 
in 3h. 59m. 2s. Kathryn, owned by James B. Smith, was 
second, in 4h. 38m. 5s., and Mariposa, owned by George 
H. Townsend, 2d, was third, in 4h. 45m. 58s. The wind 
was light.

The opening regatta of the South Norwalk Y. C. was 
sailed on Decoration Day, May 30, over the inner course. 
A southeast wind favored the yachts and a good day's 
sport was had. Com. C. B. Keeler's sloop Defiance won in 
the sloop and knockabout class. A. E. Chasmer's Ayli 
won the race for cabin catboats. William H. Bynington's 
Grace was the winner in the open catboat class, and 
George Thompson's Florodora was the winner in the jib 
and mainsail class. The next race will be sailed on June 
15, and will be open to all yachts enrolled in any club in 
the Long Island Sound Association. 
A race under a five-mile breeze opened the yachting 
season here, the contest being the annual regatta for the 
Citizens' cup, sailed over the Bridgeport Y. C. course on 
Decoration Day, May 30. The contest was between the 
sloop Kit, Thomas H. MacDonald, and the sloop Tern,' 
C. E. Perkins, of the Park City Y. C. The breeze was too 
light for -the three yawls in the race — Hapassah, F. A. 
Wilmot; Gram, C. B. Bartram, and The Vagabond, W. 
E. Holah. The latter gave up on the second turn. Kit - 
and Tern took the lead, and sailed evenly till the second 
turn, when the former showed more speed and came in 
first, beating the Park City representative 2m. 45s. No 
corrected time was given, as the Tern will have to be 
remeasured. so that the actual winner is not known.

The Aft of Revolvef Shooting:. 
"The Art of Revolver Shooting" is the title of a compreIi.ensive 
work by the famous revolver expert, Mr. Walter Winans, vice- 
president of the National Rifle Association of Great Britain. It 
is artistically and profusely illustrated from designs by Mr. 
Winans and 'from original p'hotograpbs. , The thirty-five chapters 
which it contains are replete with useful information. The evolu- 
tion of the revolver, selecting it, its cleaning and care, learning to 
use if. practice and training, ammunition, sights, targets of all 
kinds, competition, stage and trick shooting, big and small game 
shooting, target shooting off horseback, pigeon shooting with 
the pistol, and clay target shooting with the revolver, shooting in 
self defense, revolver shooting for ladies, revolvers for the police, 
revolvers in war, killing disabled animals, shooting in the dark, 
etc. are all minutely and ably treated. The illustrations are spe- 
ciaiiy instructive. The advice concerning the careful handling of 
the revolver, to avoid possible accidents, is worthy of careful ob- 
servance by all who handle firearms. The peculiar impulse which 
controls most people at sight of a revolver or other firearms 
is illustrated by a brief anecdote, told by the author, as follows: 
"One of. my ornamental revolvers used to lie as a. decoration on 
the writing table in my Bisley hut. Of course it was unloaded, 
and there were no cartridges near. Some visitors dropped in, one 
by one, to lunch. First came an elderly lady. She sat down near 
the table; her eye fell on the revolver. Sha instantly snatched it 
up with a laugh, and pointed it at me, with, 'I'll shoot you.' I
