until the tide served early in the afternoon, when she 
slid off without sustaining any damage. 
The new 30ft. racing and cruising cat, Wanderer III., 
owned by Messrs. Harvey J. and Dutee W. Flint, of the 
Edgewood Y. C, was launched at the Davis Bros.' shop 
at Warren, Friday, and was immediately rigged and put 
into trim for the season. She is a handsome craft, and 
has aroused considerable admiring comment among local 
yachtsmen. _ By next Saturday, when the first race of the 
season's series for the 30-footers for the Possner cup will 
be sailed at the Edgewood Y. C, she will probably be 
sufficiently tuned up to make a satisfactory showing. 
A new proposition is being discussed by several of the 
owners of 30-footers, an ocean race for the class, to be 
sailed from the Edgewood club house to and around 
Block Island and return, a distance of 110 or 115 miles 
The island lies 10 miles offshore, but is about 20 miles 
■ from Newport, so a race of this kind would give some- 
thing over 50 miles of outside work, with about 60 miles 
of sailing in Narragansett Bay. It is thought that this 
would provide an excellent test of the all-round qualities 
of the big cats, and the race will probably be arranged 
in the near future, the start to be made some time near 
midnight on a Saturday night, in order that the outside 
work may be met by daylight. Two large and handsome 
silver cups have been reserved for prizes in case the race 
is arranged. 
'Fleet Captain Barlow, of the Rhode Island Y. C, has 
receive-', a letter from Commodore Little, of the Shelter 
Island Y. C, with reference to the visit of the local 
fleet to that port during the annual cruise. The Sachem's 
Head fleet will also be at Shelter Island at that time, and 
an in*er-club race has been arranged for the visitors by 
the Shelter Island Y. C. for July 27. On the following 
day the Sachem's Head fleet will accompany the Rhode 
Island fleet to Block Island, the run to be an interclub 
race, with a special club prize, in addition to the prizes 
for the winning boat in each class. 
The speed launch Moyea, owned by Mr. L. O. 
Meacham, of Chicago, which has just been converted into 
a typical auto boat at F. S. Nock's shop at East Green- 
wich, where she was built last year, is ready to leave for 
her owner's summer home at Westbrook, Conn., She is 
to be used in coaching the Yale junior crew on the 
Thames next week by Mr. Meacham. Moyea now has a 
15 horse-power Buffalo motor, and has developed a speed 
of 15.7 miles an hour.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C.-The seventh weekly shoot of the Analostan 
Gun Club was held Thursday afternoon, June 23. The day was an 
ideal one for shooting, and high scores were made. Jos. H. 
Hunter, John Coleman and Francis Petrola were the top men, 
but a number of others pressed them closely for first honors. 
Hereafter two shoots will be held each week : Tuesday and Sat- 
urday afternoons, until the season closes in September. On next 
Tuesday afternoon the members will commence a contest for the 
club prizes— a handsome gold medal donated by the Hunter Arms 
Co., and two silver cups. The shooters will be divided in classes 
A. B and C, according to their ability, and the winners each week 
will be handicapped. The prizes will be awarded to those. who win 
them the most times during the season. ■ 
Much interest was manifested in the 25-target event shot during 
the afternoon, and the scores in that shoot are given in detail.
