"In regard to dimensions and form of midship section, 
I have tried to get full headroom, coupled with moderate 
draft and sufficient beam to give high initial stability with- 
out getting so much as would necessitate a big and lofty 
rig to drive her. The waterline length has been fixed 
quite independent of any attempt to evade measurement 
rules and has been reduced only so far as I thought proper 
to secure graceful outline and snug skin surface."

Colombia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
San Francisco, Feb. 2. — The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club 
held its regular meet to-day. A north wind made it cold and dis- 
agreeable, but a good number put in an appearance. Capt. Geo. E. 
Bartlett gave us an exhibition of his great skill in hitting flying 
objects of any size when thrown in the air, using Peters .22 short 
cartridges and a borrowed rifle. A Mexican gentleman of high 
estate was present and took much interest in our shooting. A. 
B. Dorrell carried off the honors with the rifle after a hard tussle 
with Hoffman. Brannagan broke in a new S. & W. pistol, and 
was high. Dr. Twist outdid himself and the rest with the .22 rifle, 
and Hoffman led with the revolver. Col. S. I. Kellogg showed up 
for the first time in years, and took a turn with the .22 rifle.
