Red Dfagfon'^C C. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
The spring regatta of the Red Dragon C. C. took place 
over the club paddling course on Saturday, June 13. The 
Delaware River at this point runs nearly northeast, and 
the wind on Saturday afternoon was strong and squally 
from the southeast. The club house is oti the west bank 
of the river, with the finish line immediately in front. 
The racing conditions may therefore be better imagined 
than described, especially as the tide started to run down 
before the races were half over. 
The races and their results were as follows : 
Event No. i — Half mile tandem, double blades : J. C. 
Maclister and Paul S. McMichael (Red Dragon C. C), 
first; Jno. Conrad (Lakanoo Boat Club, Burlington, N. 
J.), and C. S. Osmond (Yapewi Aquatic Club, Borden- 
town, N. J.), second; T. W. Cook and H. E. Davis (Red 
Dragon CO, third; W. H. Logan, Jr., and M. D. Wilt 
(Red Dragon C. C), fourth; E. D. Hill and E. D. Hem- 
ingway (Red Dragon C. C), fifth. 
Event No. 2— Hand Paddling, 100 yards : First heat — 
C. S. Osmond, Y. A. C, first; E. D. Hemingway, R. D. 
C. C, second ; W. H. Logan, Jr., R. D. C. C, third ; H. 
E. Davis, R. D. C. C, fourth. Second heat — John Con- 
ard, L. B. C., first; J. C. Maclister, R. D. C. C, second; 
P. S. McMichael, R. D. C. C, third. Final heat— John 
Conard, L B. C, first; E. D. Hemingway, R. D. C. C, 
second; C. S. Osmond, Y. A. C, third; J. C. Maclister, 
R. D. C. C, fourth. 
Event No. 3 — Tail-end race, single blades : This race, 
contrary to the usual custom, was paddled against the 
wind, as the wind was so strong that none of the canoes 
would go in any direction but round and round, when 
headed down the wind. T. W. Cook, R. D. C. C, first; 
H. E. Davis, R. D. C. C, second; J. C. Maclister, R. D. 
C. C, third; Jno. Conard, L. B. C, fourth; M. D. Wilt, 
R. D. C. C, fifth; E. D. Hemingway, R. D. C. C, sixth. 
Event No. 4 — One man, half mile, double blades : M. D. 
Wih, R. D. C C, first; T. Rice Davis, L. B. C. second; 
J. C. Maclister, R. D. C. C, third. 
Event No. 5 — One man, single blade, quarter mile- 
Open to R. D. C. C. members only: IT. E. Davis, first; 
P. S. McMichael, second ; W. H. Logan, Jr., third. 
Event No. 6 — Tilting tournament: H. E. Davis, lancer, 
and E. D. Hemingway, paddler (R. D. C. C), won; 
against P. S. McMichael, lancer, and H. E. Blumner, 
paddler (R. D. C. C). 
Event No. 7 — Swimming 100 yards : C. S. Osmond, 
Y. A. C, first; Newlin D. Davis, second; H. E. Davis 
did not finish. 
There was to have been a mixed tandem double-blade 
race, but on account of the weather conditions and the 
scarcity of women's bathing suits, it was called off. 
The officials were: Jose^jh Edward Murray, Judge at 
Finish; H. W. Fleischman, Starter; Omar Shallcross, 
Timer and Clerk of the Course. 
The duties of Mr. Shallcross as timer were discontinued 
after the first race, as the high wind and rough sea would 
have m-^de the results absolutely valueless for comparison. 
He was therefore appointed a life-saving crew, and did 
good service in that capacity. 
There have been canoe races paddled in worse weather, 
but only once, and that was at the Stave Island meet of 
the A. C. A. in '98, when the Regatta Committee waited 
two days for decent weather to run off the paddling tro- 
phy race, and then put it on probably because it was too 
rough to run off sailing races. 
On Saturday afternoon all the Red Dragons used the 
big open canvas-covered cruising canoes, except in the 
half-mile double-blade race, in which regular i6ft. by 30in. 
fifty-pound racers were used. 
This was perhaps the most exciting race of the day. 
There was enough tide running against the wind to kick 
up a nasty sea for the light racers, and when they started 
down the wind it was more like a sleigh hide or a coast 
on a toboggan than anything else. They would be caught 
by a big wave, and with the forward half of the boats 
clean out of water would shoot ahead yards at a time, 
and when the wave dropped from under would be almost 
out of sight in the trough until picked up by another 
wave to repeat the performance. 
It was sport, but it wasn't exactly racing, and there 
v.'as no time to bail until the finish. 
After the races supper was served, and most of the 
hundred or more guests stayed for a dance or two in the 
evening, and thus finished out one of the best regattas the 
Red Dragons ever had. M. D. Wilt.

BENSONHURST, GRAVESEND BAY, 
Saturday, June 13. 
The thirty-third annual spring regatta of the New 
York C. C. was held on the afternoon of Saturday, 
June 13, over courses in front of the club anchorage on 
Gravesend Bay. The events were open to members of 
the A. C. A. 
The light wind that prevailed in the late afternoon 
was exactly suited to canoe races, and each contest was 
well waged. A large number of ladies were in attend- 
ance viewing the sports in the afternoon and later din- 
ner at the club house. In the evening prizes won dur- 
ing the day were presented. The summary and win- 
ners of the different events follows :

Nkw York, N. Y., June 15. — ^The date of the international 
match between France and America has now been definitely fixed 
for the latter part of June, the Frenchmen proposing the 27th 
or the 29th inst. On account of not being able to use the Wal- 
nut Hill range on Sunday for preliminary shooting, the Execu- 
tive Committee of the U. S. R. A. has proposed the 30th as the 
date of the match. This, no doubt, will be acceptable to the 
French committee. If -so, the candidates for the American team 
are requested to assemble at the Walnut Hill range of the Massa- 
chusetts Rifle Association, near Woburn, Boston, Mass., on 
Tune 26, for preliminary practice and to accustom themselves to 
the range. 
There will be three days of preliminary shooting, June 26, 27 
and 29. The team will be selected from the candidates on the 
evening of June 29. All the first-class revolver and pistol shots 
in the United States who can possibly arrange to be present, are 
invited and urged to participate in the preliminary shooting and 
be available for the American team on the days named. Special 
arrangements will be made in Boston for the accommodation 
of visiting marksmen on this occasion. 
The conditions of the match are as follows: Fifteen men on 
a side; (50 shots per man at 50 yards, on the Standard Anierican
