vaniaRi: .?s on Decoration Day. It was said that her engine was 
not ruiming well, and that considerable time was lost m making 
repairs; As Japan'iky was at no time dangerous, Statid- 
ard had the race well in hand from the start. Her powerful 
110 horse-power motors ran evenly throughout. She covered tlie 
first round of the course in 25m. 30s.; the second m 25m. flat; 
the third in 25m. 28s., and the fourth in 25m. 59s. She averaged 
18.1 knots for the 32 knots. 
Water Lily should have started with -the boats in Classes S, i 
and V, but she went with the boats in the class above, five mm- 
utes too soon, and was disqualified. 
Mr. C. H. Tangeman timed his boat Fiat to a nicety, and she 
crossed the starting line 3s. after the gun, leading the boats m her 
class.. Hard Boiled Egg, with Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt at the 
wheel, crossed second and Shooting Star, with Mr. H. A. Lozier 
steering, third. 
Fiat turned the mark at 129th street, and the others followed. 
Fiat did very well, and averaged 15.8 knots. She beat Shooting 
Star 56s. actual time. It is thought that Shooting Star will do 
better as the season progresses. She is to be fitted with a larger 
rudder, in order that she may answer her helm quicker. Hard 
Boiled Egg was outclassed, and finished minutes behind.

Manhaiselt Bay Y. C. 
Manhasset Bay, L. I. Sound — Saturday, July 11. 
Thf fifth annual regatta of the Manhasset Bay Y. C. was held 
on Saturday, June 11. There were twenty-eight starters, but a 
sharp squall, that broke toward tlie end of the race, prevented 
eight of the boats from finishing. 
The 30 and 18ft. sloop classes did not fill, and as a result, Alert 
and Plover had walkovers, although the latter boat did not finish. 
At the start the wind was light from the E.N.E., but a .little 
later the wind flattened out and the race developed into a drifting 
match. About 5 o'clock the squall that had been making in the 
S.E. broke. At this time Alert, sailed by Mr. Harry Maxwell, 
was well toward the finish line, and the smaller fry were near the 
Matinicock buoy. From this time on the boats had some lively 
work. 
There were five starters in the raceabout class. Rogue, cleverly 
handled by Mr. A. B. Alley, beat Tartan, the second boat, 4m. 4s. 
Wsyola was third. 
Of the four starters in the Larchmont one-design class, Houri 
had rather the best of it, and finished a winner. Adelaide's 
owner protests Houri for fouling his boat at the Matinicock mark. 
Una beat her three competitors in the 25ft. sloop class. She 
may lose the race on corrected time, however. In the 21ft. 
sloop class, Jeebi made the best elapsed time over the course, 
but she, too, may lose the race on tiine allowance. 
Wa Wa won in the Indian Harbor one-design class. Owa- 
tcnna was second and Anawanda did not finish. 
Wister did not finish in the Manhasset Bay one-design class, 
and the race goes to Arizona, the only other starter. 
None of the boats that started in the Hempstead Harbor one- 
design class, the 18ft. sloop class or the Lark class finished. 
The regatta committee, composed of Messrs. Charles D. Mower, 
Henry C. Ward and Frederick A. Hill, were on board Commo- 
dore Alker's steam yacht Florence.

Edgewood C. 
Narragansett Bay, R. I.— Saturday, June 11. 
Perfect weather and a stiff E. breeze of the whole-sail variety 
made interesting sport at the first club regatta of the season for 
Edgewood Y. C, June 11. There were very few entries, and in 
oniy one class was there any interest, the 30ft. cats affording all 
the sport. There were four entries in this class, and they gave 
cne of the prettiest races that has been seen in these waters in 
many a day, three of them finishing within 20 seconds of each 
other, after sailing a course of eleven nautical miles, and at no 
time after the start was there much open water between them. 
The only drawback was that the wind was in a quarter that gave 
free sailing on every leg of the triangular course, a broad reach 
and a run, and there was no chance for any windward work. 
iNiblem caught the lead at the start, with Elizabeth a close sec- 
ond and Scatt away astern, with a bad handicap to overcome. 
Scatt caught up in short order, however, and gave the leaders a 
close rub. 
'1 he course was a short one, sailed three times over to make 
the distance, and Mblem lost the lead on the last round, Eliza- 
beth, which had previously fallen back to third place, walking 
up again on her rivals and skipping into first place. ' She 
crossed the line at the finish 13s. ahead of Mblem, which was only 
5s. ahead of Scatt. These three boats made a pretty start, a 
pretty finish and a most interesting race right through. 
In the 25ft. cat class Ina beat Mae Hope, P. C. Stranger's new 
boat, hy 7in, 153, Ina also accomplished a notable feat in cover- 
ing the course in shorter time than the 30-footers, beating thfi 
actual time of Elizabeth by 50s.

Chicago, Lake Michigan— Saturday, June 11. 
The thirteenth annual Michigan City race of the Columbia 
Y. C. was unquestionably the most successful ever sailed. Three 
big steamers loaded with guests, besides several sail and steam 
yachts followed the racing fleet. -r, • > 
The most notable occurrence was that of Commodore Price s 
21ft. cabin class yacht Yo San, formerly Little Shamrock, she 
defeating the entire fleet on corrected time, and defeating the 
crack 52-footer Vencedor, the second best yacht on corrected 
time, by over ten minutes. Vencedor won the South Shore 
Amusement Co. cup.

Shattemoc Yacht and Canoe Clob. 
Hudson River — Saturday, June 4. 
The first of a series of three races to be held during the month 
of Tune by the power boats enrolled in the fleet of the Shattemuc 
Y. "and C. C, of Ossining, N. Y., took place off the club house 
on Saturday, June 4, over a triangular course, four nautical miles 
around. There was a large gathering present on the verandas of 
the club house, many ladies being among those interested in the 
event. 
The ten boats in the three classes presented a very pleasing pic- 
ture as they cut off toward the outer mark flags. In starting, 
there was some clever jockeying for position, especially in Class 
C. The result of the race was a decided credit to the work of 
Measurer Roger M. Haddock, who rated the contesting craft 
according to the classification of the American Power Boat Asso- 
ciation. Ardis, winner in Class I, in the race at Manhassett Bay 
on May 30, and owned by Mr. Haddock, was the committee boat. 
The regatta committee consisted of Messrs. Wm. M. Carpenter, 
chairman; Wm. E. Barlow and Robert T. Dennis. Following is 
the summary. Preparatory signal for all classes was fired at 2:40

Atlantic Y. C. 
Sea Gate, New York Bay — Saturday, June 11. 
The first race for the Havens cup, open to boats in Classes M 
and below, enrolled in the Atlantic Y. C, was held on Saturday, 
June 11. There were eight starters, all the boats competing in 
one cless. Time allowance is figured based on measurements 
obtained under the new rule ratings.

times over a course, with the usual marks at Fort Hamilton, 
Marine and Field Club and Brooklyn Y. C, starting and finish- 
ing off the club house at Sea Gate, a total distance of about 
eleven knots. The starting gun was given at 3 o'clock, and it 
was a run to the first mark. Spinnakers were carried part of 
the way. 
Mary was first away, followed by Bobtail, Redwing, Bagheera, 
Vivian IT., Careless, Trouble and Smoke, in the order named. 
Bobtail was leading at the first mark, and gradually increased 
her lead until the finish. She crossed 3m. 493. ahead of Bagheera. 
Careless, far behind, withdrew on the second round.

The Palma Troyhy. 
Washington, June 11.— By unanimous vote the executive com- 
mittee of the National Rifle Association, which met here to-day, 
decided to return forthwith to England the Palma trophy, which 
the American team won at the Bisley shoot last September because 
of the charges made that the American team violated a rule of the. 
contest, in using a rifle slightly different from that used by the 
regular army of this country. 
It was also decided to withdraw the Palma trophy from this 
year's competition. 
The executive committee unanimously adopted the following 
preamble and resolution: 
Whereas, This committee has carefully considered all the facts 
and correspondence in connection with the controversy which fol- 
lowed the Palma trophy competition of 1903; and 
Whereas, We regret the evident differences of opinion which 
have been made matter for publication, and while we find the cap- 
tain of the American team made no secret whatever of the exact 
character of the rifles, believing their use perfectly proper, which 
differences of opinion would never have existed had he officially 
submitted the rifles for approval, in accordance with the explicit 
instructions given him by the president of this Association; arid 
Whereas, Prolongation of the arguments as to what is or is not 
conformity with regulation patterns of rifles might be continued 
indefinitely, with no prospective good resulting therefrom; and 
Whereas, It is the unanimous sentiment of this committee that 
the existing controversy cannot continue without working serious 
injury to competitive military rifle shooting the world over; there- 
fore be it 
Resolved, That we hereby ratify all- statements made in the let- 
ter of the president of this Association to the secretary of the 
National Rifle Association of Great Britain, dated March 7, 1904, 
and instruct the president to withdraw the Paliha competition from 
the programme for the current year, and to cause the Palma trophy 
to be immediately returned to the National Rifle Association of 
Great Britain, to be held by that organization for future com- 
petition. 
Telegraphic orders were sent to New York, where the Palma 
trophy is now kept, that it be packed and shipped immediately 
to England. 
An invitation was read from the United Rifle Societies of France 
for an American team to participate in the meet to be held at 
Lyons from July 7 to 18. This meet will be for sporting rifles, 
and will have forty shots lying down, forty shots kneeling, and 
forty shots standing. The committee decided to make public the 
invitation, and if it is practicable, to send a team. 
The Fourth National Bundesfest. 
The German-American shooting societies from all parts of the 
LTnited States met in , Union Hill Park on June 12 for an eight- 
day festival and prize shoot. The best riflemen in the country 
are present, and are striving, for the honors and prizes. 
A grand parade of all the societies connected with the Bund was 
held in New York on Monday, and was reviewed by Mayor Mc- 
Clellan. The festival will continue until Monday, June 20, when 
prizes to the value of $50,000 will be divided among the lucky 
marksmen. The leading scores on the various targets up to 
Monday night, June 13 are appended. A full report of the winners 
will appear next week. Scores:

Ohio National Guard. 
The annual competition of the Ohio National Guard will be held 
at Newark, July 18 to 24, inclusive. Col. Edward T^ Miller visited 
the range on June 8, and inspected the grounds, which are being 
put in order. The programme will consist of about twenty-five 
matches, arranged so as to cover all kinds of firing, during the 
first four days. At the end of that period the fifty men who have 
scored the highest aggregates will remain for two more days and 
compete for places on the State team. This State team will rep- 
resent Ohio at the Fort Riley, Kansas, competition, where the 
National Guard teams of the United States will compete with the 
regular army. It will also furnish the men who will go to Sea
