YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Messrs. Swasey, Raymond & Page, of Boston, have 
finished the plans of a steel steam yacht for Mr. W. H. 
Ames, also of Boston. The vessel is 121ft. long on the 
waterline, and will have a triple expansion engine of 
850 horse-power. She will have a speed of 18 knots.

The steam yacht building for Mr. F. M. Smith from 
Mr. Henry J. Gielow's designs at the yard of the John 
N. Robbins Co,, Erie Basin, is well along. The frames 
were set up last week. 
Mr. Abram Baudoine, of New York, has chartered the 
steam yacht Buccaneer, owned by Mr. Frank T. Morrill, 
through the agency of Messrs. Colvim & Bickermann. 
^ ^ 
Mr. William H. Hand, Jr., New Bedford, Mass., has 
gotten out plans of a racing sloop to be built for Mr. 
F. P. Sands. She is 25ft. waterline, 41ft. roin. over all, 
10ft. 6in.' breadth, and 5ft. draft, 
«! * « 
Up to last week the steam yacht Orizaba, now build- 
ing at the yard of Lewis Nixon at Elizabethport, N. J., 
was the prospective property of Henry Clay Pierce, •who 
summers at Manchester, and is a member of the Man- 
chester Y. C, but all this is now changed, and when the 
yacht is launched she will be the property of A. C. Bur- 
rage, a well-known speculator, identified with Amal- 
gamated copper and other companies. 
The Orizaba, which is named after the Mexican vol- 
cano, sometimes called Citlaltepetl, is 260ft. on the water- 
line, and when finished will be one of the finest steam 
yachts in American waters. She was designed by 
Gardner & Cox, of New York. She- is to be equipped 
with two four-cylinder triple expansion engines, 16, 25, 
28^2 and 28>4 inches in diameter, with a 24-inch stroke. 
She will have two Scotch boilers and a donkey. 
According to the story the yacht was designed to. be 
several feet shorter than her present waterline measure- 
ment. The plans were changed and the work of con- 
struction on the yacht begun. When she was parti}' fin- 
ished, Mr. Pierce discovered that she was still too small 
for his needs, and then arose very perplexing difficulties. 
At this time, it is said, Mr. Burrage came into the 
field. He liked the plans of the Orizaba, and he wanted 
a boat larger than the Wanderer, which he now has under 
charter, so he agreed to take her. He has stipulated that 
her construction and interior fittings shall be the most 
elaborate that can be procured in America. 
Mr. Burrage is now at his estate in Redlands, Cal., 
but he is, nevertheless, the owner of the Orizaba. Capt. 
George Studley, who has been in command of the steam 
yacht Viola since she was built, will be master of the 
Orizaba. A better or more careful man could not have 
been obtained. Capt. Studley ' is now living at Quincy 
Point, where the Viola is in winter quarters, but it is ex- 
pected that he will soon leave for Elizabethport. — Boston 
Globe. 
* * * 
Mr. Seth Low, who recently purchased the steam yacht 
Willada, has changed the vessel's name to Surprise. 
* *5 * 
The auxiliary schooner building at the yard of the 
Harlan & Hollingsworth Co., Wilmington, Del., from 
designs made by Messrs. Tarns, Lemoine & Crane, is 
for Mr. H. W. Putnam. The yacht will be named 
Ariadne. She was designed for off-shore cruising- Her 
dimensions are: 110ft. waterline, 140ft. over all, 28ft. 
breadth, and 14ft. 'draft. It is estimated that her engines 
will drive her at a speed of eight knots.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Mr. C. F. Lambert, of Lynn, Mass., writes us as follows: 
"Should the Haverhill, Mass.,' Gun Club be favored with fair 
weather on the 19th, all present indications point to a large at- 
tendance to their Patriots' Day shoot. They have installed a set 
ol Sergeant system traps, which in addition to their regular set 
of five traps, will keep the shooters busy. Handicapping far the 
prize events will be based, not . on- what a shooter has done in past 
shoots, but what he is doing on that day, the events previous to 
the prize events furnishing a fair estimate. The club will give 
either an order for the prizes or their equivalent in cash to win- 
ners of same, as such may elect." 
There was a rumor prevalent in New York a few weeks ago 
that the Chamberlin Cartridge and Target Company, of Cleve- 
land. O., was the financial power behind the anti-pigeon shooting 
legislation in New York and New Jersey, the implication being 
that it was to that company's interest tp stop pigeon shooting on 
the ground it would advance target shooting. At Kansas City 
Mr. Paul North indignantly refuted the rumor. He -maintained 
that pigeon shooting helped target shooting, and vice versa. It is 
of the class of silly rumors which now and then spring up from 
sources which are unknown. 
The Peru Gun Club's sixth annual spring tournament will be 
held at Peru, Ind., April 16, 17 and 18. The target events, which 
will occupy two days, will be open to amateurs only. There are to 
be twelve events on each day, of from 10 to 20 targets each, revised 
Interstate Association rules to govern. Five dollars each will be 
paid to the two high guns, and the two low guns shooting through 
the entire programme. The third day will be given over to live- 
bird events, open to all. Six regular events and such others as may 
be arranged will be shot, all handicaps, from 26 to 32yds. Mr. 
Frank Dunbar is secretary. 
"The Indians" held a special meeting in the Midland Hotel, 
Kansas City, on Tuesday morning of last week. There was a large 
attendance of the tribe, nearly all being present. Battle Creek, 
Mich., was fixed upon for the next Indian shoot. The date will 
probablv be in August or September. Battle Creek offered $500 
added money. It was carried that a medal of fine gold be presented 
by the tribe to the members of the American team of trapshooters 
whi-.h went abroad last summer, and to Capt. A. W. Money, F. S. 
Harrison and Emil Werk, who acted as judges and referees.

Mr. N. V. Gerrish, secretary of the newly organized Cadillac, 
Mich., Gun Club, writes as follows: "On March 18 the Cadillac. 
Gun Club was organized with forty members, and proceeded at 
once to the preparation of grounds and a club house. In about 
two weeks we shall have everything completed and ready for our 
weekly shoots. We have many enthusiastic members, and expect 
to have some good times." 
Mr. O. N. Ford, of Central City, la., under date of April 4, 
writes us as follows: "The shooting tournament of the Wapse 
Gun Club will be held at Central City, la., at clay targets, $40 
for high average, May 1 and 2. The Prison City Gun Club, of 
Anamosa, la., will give a two days' tournament at clay targets 
May 28 and 29, $100 for high averages. H. Beem is the secretary."

Elsewhere in our columns this week we present a cut of the 
Grand American Handicap .trophy, a silver cup, on which each of 
those who will contest at Kansas City, March 31 to April 5, hopes 
to inscribe his name. It bears the following legend: Pre- 
sented by Interstate Association to Winner of the lenth Annual 
Grand American Handicap at Live Birds, 1902." 
Mr John Parker, of Detroit, a popular representative of the 
Peters Cartridge Company, has a busier season in prospect. Pie 
will manage the New York State shoot in June; the Pennsyl- 
vania State shoot; the Elwood, Ind., shoot, and the Michigan 
State shoot in May; the Edgewater, O., shoot in June, and some 
others in prospect. 
^ . 
Owing to the death of Mr. Jas. Whitfield, Kansas City, on Mon- 
day morning of this week, the Cast Iron medal contest, fixed 
to 'take place on Monday of this week between Messrs. Elliott 
and Crosby, was postponed. It will take place at Omaha, at the 
Nebraska , State tournament. 
Dr C E Cook, the secretary, writes us as follows: "Announce 
through your columns the fifth annual Midsumfher tournament at 
targets of 'New London Gun Club, at New London, la., June 18, 
$10 average money. A gold medal to one making longest run 
of consecutive breaks. "/ 
Mr. Seymour G. Smith died at his home in Plainfield, N. J., 
on April 5. Mr. Smith was prominent in sliooting circles in New 
Jersey, and was president of the Middlesex Gun Club, of Dunellen, 
N, J., which was the first club to run open trapshooting tourna- 
ments in the East. 
The Sherbrooke Gun Club announces a tournament to be held 
at Sherbrooke, Que., Can., on May 15, at which there will be 
twelve target events, distance handicaps from 16 to 22yds., Rose

Club and the Schenectady Gun Club ,will take place at Ossining,

A few days before the recent G. A. H., Messrs. Hood Waters 
and Harold Money shot a 50-target race at Kansas City, the former 
winning by a score of 47 to 42. 
Bernard Waters. 
New York State Shoot. 
As heretofore stated, this shoot will be held on the grounds of 
the Rochester Rod and Gun Club, where there is plenty of room, 
beautiful scenery and one of the finest club houses in the country. 
The official programme will soon be ready for distribution and 
mailed to all gun clubs and individuals upon application; in fact, 
the management will be glad to hear from all that would like one. 
American Association rules will govern the contests where they 
do not conflict with special rules of the club, and the use of 
the magautrap. 
Paid representatives and professional experts will be entirely 
welcome, but will not be permitted to participate in the merchan- 
dise event; they may, however, compete in all other events, but 
can only share in first and second moneys.

averages. 
Monday, June 9, will be given up to practice and sweepstake 
shooting, while the main events will commence Tuesday morning. 
There will be two State events each day, in which guaranteed 
purses will be offered. On Wednesday morning the merchandise 
event, in which there are a large number of valuable prizes, . will 
commence. In figuring averages, this event will not be included. 
On Thursday there will be a four-man team match, the first 
prize being a $100 Parker hammerless gun, with cash prizes for 
second and third places. Entrance, $10 per team, targets extra. 
On Friday the Dean Richmond trophy event will take place, 
three-man teams, 50 targets per man; ties to be shot off at 25 
targets each man. Entrance, $10 per team, birds extra; three

All main events will be at 25 targets, and all targets will be 
thrown at 2 cents each. 
The tournament will be under the- management of Mr. John 
Parker, of Detroit, whose reputation in such matters is sufficient 
assurance that everything will be conducted in a sportsmanlike 
manner. Some of the best squad hustlers in the State have been 
engaged, with a view to keeping the shoot moving from start to 
finish. 
Sweepstakes will be an interesting feature between State events; 
all may compete, but manufacturers' agents and professional 
experts can participate only in first and second moneys. Head- 
quarters and hotel rates will be given in official programme. Re- 
duced rates on all trunk lines running into Rochester will be

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., April 5. — The following, scores were made at 
the regular weekly shoot of the Ossining Gun Club to-day. The 
targets were thrown at top speed, so the showing in the 25-target

was good work. The next high man was Blandford with 21..
