The following notice has been issued by the Regatta Com- 
mittee of the New York Y. C. : 
New York Y. C, June 6, 1903. 
■ There being no apparent prospect that any of the 
classes for the June regatta will be filled, the club steamer 
will not go down the bay on June 11. 
The steamer Cepheus will be placed at the disposal 
of the members and the ladies accompanying them on the 
occasion of the Glen Cove cups, June 15. Lunch will be 
provided as is customary at the June regattas. The 90- 
footers will be entered for this event. 
The Cepheus will leave the foot of East Thirty-first 
street at ten o'clock in the morning and will touch at this 
pier on her return. 
Tickets issued for the regatta on June 11 will be ac- 
cepted on the Cepheus.

New York, N. Y., June 2. — I inclose herewith a communica- 
tion in regard to the 50-shot revolver record by J. E. Gorman, of 
San Francisco. I also inclose a circular letter which has been 
sent out to a number of the principal revolver and pistol sliots 
of the United States. This letter embraces about all the informa- 
lion that we have up to the present time in regard to the proposed 
international matches. The exact- dates and other details will be 
arranged as soon as possible: 
A. L. A. HiMMELWRIGHT. 
The communication above referred to follows: 
On April 26, 1903, Mr. J. E. Gorman, of the Golden Gate Rifle 
and Pistol Club, San Francisco, announced his intention to shoot 
for the 50-shot revolver record under the any revolver rules of^ 
the U. S. R. A., at 50yds. The score was begun at 4:15 P. M. 
and finished at 4:53 P. M. Mr. Gorman shot a Smith & Wesson 
revolver, with a G^in. barrel, 21b. trigger pull, open tai-get sights. 
The weather conditions were fair. The score follows: 
J. E. Gorman 10 10 8 9 10 9 10 10 9 9—94 
10 8 10 9 10 8 10 10 9 7—91 
9 10 10 9 8 7 8 10 8 9—88 
7 9 9 10 8 10 10 8 10 9—90 
10 10 8 10 10 10 9 8 10 10—95—458 
The above score complies strictly with the rules and regulations 
of the U. S. R. A., and is recognized as the 50-shot revolver record 
under the conditions named. 
A. L. A. HiMMELWRIGHT, Sec'y-Treas. 
The circular letter follows: 
Dear Sir — As you probably have seen in the shooting papers and 
other publications we are now negotiating for two international 
matches, one with France and one with Great Britain, both to 
be shot with revolvers. In the match with France there will be 
fifteen men on a side, 60 shots per man, at 50yds. on the Standard 
American target, any revolver and any ammunition; trigger pull 
2V^lbs. The time limit in which the scores must be completed 
has not yet been decided. In the match with Great Britain there 
will be eight men on a side, 12 or 30 shots at 20yds, and 12 or 30 
shots at 50yds. The conditions of this match have not yet been 
decided, but they will probably be a plain 2in. bullseye used at 
20yds., and the Standard American target at 50yds. The English 
suggest 12 shots at each distance. We suggest 30 shots at each 
distance. The complete details of this match will be decided later. 
The object of this letter is to urge you to begin systematic and 
regular practice, and get yourself in as good condition as you 
possibly can by the end of Jurje; also to request that you use 
your influence to have any other good shots in your vicinity 
practice with you under the conditions of the matches and re- 
port to me what progress is made about once a week. The 
matches will probably be shot between the end of June and the 
beginning of July. The range at Walnut Hill, Mass., has been 
offered to the Association free of expense. This is the finest 
equipped range in the East, and the Americans will probably shoot 
both matches at this range. We expect to arrange for free trans- 
portation for as many candidates for the team as possible, and it 
is the hope of the Executive Committee that we may be able to 
assemble twenty-five or thirty of the best shots in the United 
States at the Walnut Hill range several days before the match. 
The team will then be selected from the men who make the 
highest scores in preliminary practice. We are trying to make 
arrangements so that 2in. bullseye for 20yd. shooting in the 
English match can be obtained for the asking. Definite informa- 
tion in regard to this will be given later. 
We have just published a new booklet, giving the revised con- 
stitution, championship matches, rules and regulations, and list of 
members, bringing the latter up to date. This is going forward 
to you under separate cover. 
As you know, the revenue of this Association is obtained solely 
by the yearly dues of the members and such voluntary contribu- 
tions as individuals choose to make. You could aid very ma- 
terially if you could induce several new men to join the Associa- 
tion. Will you not try to do this? I am inclosing application 
blanks herewith for thus purpose, and will fordward reading mat- 
ter to any address that you may furnish me.
