*^ew Rochelle Y. C. — Handicap Race for Yawls 
New Rochelle, Long- Island Sound— Saturday, July 29.' 
Six yawls belonging to members of the New Rochelle Y. C. 
ailed a fine race on Saturday, July 29, from New Rochelle to the 
Towes Buoy, off Stamford, thence to buoy in Hempstead Harbor 
ind home, a distance of 27 miles. 
A strong breeze from the E. kicked up a lively sea, and a suc- 
;ession of heavy rain and wind squalls made the race interesting 
I'oni start to finish, 
Tl;:re had been considerable rivalry among the owners of the 
several yawls in New Rochelle harbor, and former Commodore 
Donovan, E. C. Locke, William G. Dunham, and Frank Tucker 
presented a handsome silver cup to be given to the winner. 
The starters were George Matthew’s Escape, E. R. Newell’s 
Adelaide, J. P. Donovan’s Thora, C. M. Fletcher’s Fleetwing, 
W. G. Dunham’s Cavalier, and M. S. Kattenhorn’s Surprise. 
These boats vary considerably in size, and to equalize things it 
vas agreed that Adelaide should have an allowance of 7m., Cavalier 
LOm., Surprise 26m.; the other three to sail on even terms. 
P'.scape w'as first across the line, folio-wed closely by Adelaide. 
The boats made a long tack across the Sound, and when they 
tame about, Escape was leading Fleetwdng bj^ about a quai-ter of a 
mile. This lead was gradually increased until the weather mark 
was reached, the boats rounding as follows: Escape, 2:08:00; 
\delaide, 2:18:00; Thora, 2:25:00; Cavalier and Surprise dropped 
lut. Fleetwing collided with the old one-rater Palm off Green- 
vich Point, doing considerable damage to the latter. She was 
obliged to anchor for a time, -«diich spoiled her chances for 
econd place, which she otherwise would have had. 
The boats carried spinnakers and balloon jibs to the second mark, 
oft' Week’s Point, and Thora and Adelaide, both gained slightly 
on Escape on this point of sailing, but not enough to offset her 
treat superiority in windward work. Her crew were all old hands 
n the boat, and consisted of George Matthews, owner; John D. 
Sparkman and John H. Schofield, and her skipper.

English Atmy Rifle. 
So at last the War Office has made up its little mind, and, after 
a period of indecision, has finally decided that the new rifle is 
enough for our troops. Already thousands of the new 
rifles have been manufactured and distributed to the Army, and, 
as the order has been given that no more are to be made, we sup- 
pose these weapons will be returned to store and finally sold off 
in the usual way. It was the Army Council who obstinately re- 
fused to accept the verdict of the majority of the experts who 
had tried the rifle and pronounced it inferior to the Lee-Enfield, 
Mannlicher, and Mauser. The Council persisted, and organized 
a series of trials in a vain hope of upsetting such opinion. The 
first trial was carried out under the direction of Lieut. -General 
Sir William Butler, and the report was unfavorable. Then the 
School of Musketry were asked to test the weapon, but their 
report was also unfavorable. Finally the School of Musketry were 
asked to give it a second trial, and this time, strange to say the 
rifle was found to be an excellent weapon. In the subseq’uent 
use and practice at the ranges the following defects, which had 
all been pointed out by experts, were rediscovered and reported 
to headquarters: (1) Jamming of the magazine; (2) too much play 
m the mechanism; (3) foresight disappears during rapid firing in 
a haze caused by a vapor; (4) foresight too thick, and obliterates 
the target; (5) bad balance; ( 6 ) metal too soft, resulting in the 
barrel being permeated with corrosive gas.— Shooting Times 
The indications at present are that the great rifle competition 
which will take place at Sea Girt, N. J., this month will have’ 
generous support in the way of entries. Teams from thirty-five 
States and a team from Hawaii are expected to participate.
