‘ Hav.'thorne finished at 4:21 P. M,, while Alice did not fiilish 
until 10:23 A. M. Aug. 3, nearly a whole day behind Mistral. 
Dwight Lawrence, owner of Mistral, gives much credit for the 
■ victory of his handsome schooner to Billy Thompson, the presi- 
I dent of the new Illinois Athletic Club, who sailed Mistral in, her 
race. Thompson is not very well known in Lake Michigan yacht- 
ing circles, having earned his brevet as an inland lake sailor, 
where his Avis and Avis II. were champions of their class for 
years. Thompson’s best known yachting exploit on these waters 
was the sailing of Cadillac in her deciding race against Invader 
for the Canada cup, when that trophy was carried away by 
i ^milius Jarvis and the Canadian boat. 
The rest of the fleet made the cruise to Mackinac by easy stages, 
and spent a week at the beautiful island before starting on the 
I return trip along the east shore. 
The autoboat race resulted in a victory for Erin, of Chicago, 
although Dustye Sydes, of Detroit, actually finished first, Erin 
winning on time allowance. Only these-two boats finished, as Violet 
I.ouise was beached at Wind Point, near Racine, and had to 
return; and Marion, after an exciting experience with her machinery, 
limped back to harbor. 
Dustye Sydes finished at 4:26:30 Monday morning, while Erin 
arrived at 8:00:12. As Erin had six hours time allowance, she was 
awarded the Day cup. 
Three iletroit yachts started to race up to Mackinac from De- 
troit, in conjunction with the Chicago fleet. By the time they 
had reached Port Huron two of them. Sultana and City of the 
Straits, decided they had had all they wanted of the bad weather, 
and R. A. Alger, Jr.’s Sitarah reached Harbor Beach, Mich., half 
full of water and much the worse for wear. Mr. Alger put in for 
repairs and continued gamely in face of ugly weather conditions.

Riverton Y. C. 
Riverton, Delaware River — Saturday, Aug. 5. 
Sixteen boats participated in the match given by the Riverton 
Y. C. on Saturday, Aug. 5. The winners were Carolyn II., Dor- 
athea. No. 7, and Invlese. 
The boats went twice over Course No. 3, which was as follows: 
Starting from Riverton buoy to lower Hen and Chickens buoy, 
thence to buoy off Mosquito boat house and back to the starting 
point. 
Carolyn II. hugged the Jersey beach and made material gains, and 
beat Fiona by Im. 2s.

Edgewood Y. C* 
Narragansett Bay, July 29 and Aug. 6. 
The series of three races for the Ford cup for the 30ft. cats 
of the Edgewood Y, C. resulted in the trophy going to Wanderer 
IV., the new boat, owned by Messrs. H. J. and D. W. Flint, the 
second and third races being run off on July 29 and Aug. 5. In 
both events there was a strong S. wind, which furnished good 
racing. Wanderer IV. finished first in all three races, thus estab- 
lishing a percentage of 100 for the contest. This is an unusual, 
if not unprecedented accomplishment in a series of this sort. In 
the second race there were but three entries, and only one op- 
ponent to the winner appeared in the final race. 
Elizabeth, which has been a prominent boat in the class for sev- 
eral years, has been sold by Mr. Walter D. Wood to former 
Commodore Herman G. Possner, for the use of the latter’s sons, 
who are enthusiastic racing men. Howard Possner sailed the 
boat in the third race, and did good work for one who has had 
no more experience that he with boats of that class.

Beverly Y. C. 
Wing’s Neck, Buzzard’s Bay — Saturday, July 22. 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its 369th regatta off its club house on 
Saturday, July 22. The event was the third Corinriiian race of the 
season. 
The weather was most unsatisfactory, the wind being so light 
that the start had to be postponed haP an hour, and even after 
the start, the direction changed from S.E. to S.W. twice, with 
calms intervening, so that it was no reasonable test of the powers 
of the boats. 
For the first time this season, two' 30-footers came to the start- 
ing line, and all were glad to see the race renewed in this class. 
Young Miss won by nearly 2m. 
In the 21-footers Terrapin took first honors, with Mr. Crane’s 
Anianita III. in second place. Barnacle, which boat has been 
doing well up to this time, was hopelessly beaten, finishing about 
7m. behind the leader. 
In the 18ft. one-design class, Jap took first place and Wan- 
derer second. 
Flickamaroo won first place in the 15ft. one-design class, but she 
was sailed by Mr. Nelson Emmons, and therefore the race does 
not count in the contest for the ladies’ cup. Miss Dabney, who 
took fifth place in the fleet, was the first of the ladies to finish. 
The judge was Mr. F. E. Cabot. The times in detail follow:

Conanicut Y. C, 
Jamestown, R. I.— Wednesday, July 26. 
A special race of knockabouts, arranged by the Conanicut Y. C., 
was sailed Wednesday afternoon, July 26, under rough conditions. 
There were ten starters, and of this number seven were in one 
way or another disabled, and only four boats went over the course. 
The wind blew nearly a gale, and it was the roughest race ever 
sailed by the club. Of the four boats that finished, two were 
sailed by women, and the feminine skippers were entitled to 
immense credit for their pluck in staying to the finish. 
T-he start was made at 12:30, and all the boats got away under 
nill sail, except Sigma III., which boat carried a single reef. 
The course was from the club wharf at Jamestown, around Beaver 
Tail Light, up the West Passage, leaving Dutch Island on the 
east, around the north end of Conanicut Island and return to the 
starting point. The starters were as follows: Sigma III., Loril- 
lard; Dixie, Stearns; Rovfdy, Smith; Hawk, Crawford; Tacen, 
Walbridge; Skraeling, Willoughby; Bohemia, Miss Woodward; 
Comforter, Miss Buffum; Grace, Catlin; Fairy, Lippincott. 
Rowdy carried away a backstay early in the game, but Mr. 
Smith went aloft and made repairs and stood through to the 
finish. But for this accident he had a good chance of winning. 
Grace carried away her starboard stay and withdrew. Next, Hawk 
carried away her throat halliard block and also withdrew. Tacen 
parted her halliards, and Skraeling broke her boom and both re- 
turned. Later, Fairy capsized. A son of Mr. J. B. Lippincott 
and a son of Mr. Nicholas Benziger, of New York, were the 
crew, but fortunately they were promptly rescued by a passing 
fi.sherman. 
Sigma III. won the race, with Rowdy seeond. Comforter third 
and Bohemia fourth. F. jj. Young. 
Gas Engines and Lannthes. 
During the past thirty odd years the Forest and Stream 
Publishing Company has produced many books on sports 
and outdoor life. Of these none has been more successful 
than the little 'volume entitled “Gas Engines and 
Launches,” which this firm recently put on the market. 
The sale of this work has been unprecedented, and it bids 
fair to go to a second edition shortly. The book came 
into the field when such a volume was most needed. The 
author, Mr. F. K. Grain, is a practical engine builder, 
and having sold many engines and installed them, knew 
just what the user of the marine motor needed in the 
way of a hand-book. _ His years of experience stood him 
in good stead in writing the book, and “Gas Engines and 
Launches” is to-day the most satisfying and complete 
hand-book of its kind to be had anywhere.

Rifle at Vancouver* 
Vancouver, B. C., July 31. — The appended newspaper clipping 
IS from the Daily Province, Vancouver, B. C., July 31. 
On Saturday last we had a rifle match between British Columbia 
and Washington, which was the first international contest of the 
kind ever held in western North America. 
The Sergt. Perry mentioned as high score on both teams is a 
local boy, who has served twice in the “Boer War’’ and who won 
the biggest shooting honor in the British Empire, viz., the King’s 
prize. It is slmt for once a year in Bisley, England, by the best 
marksmen in Great Britain. He won it in 1904. 
I might mention that three of our rifle shots are at present 
shooting at Bisley, on the Canadian team. 
A. Austin, Jr. 
me nrst international rifle match ever held in the Northwe 
came to an end Saturday evening, with the team from the Sixl 
Regiment Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles victorious over tl 
team from the Second Regiment, National Guard, State of Was 
ir.gton, by 321 points. The Washington team is going east 1 
Sea Girt where the annual matches in the National Associatic 
of the United States are held, and before going accepted a cha 
lenge from Ihe Sixtli Kegiment. 
Bripdier-General Drain was in charge of the visiting team an 
stated when he first came that he did not expect to win He di 
think, though, that there was a possibility of getting a good lea 
-at the shorter ranges, and that the local marksmen might not h 
able to catch him; or, if they did, to beat his men badly. Thei 
was no ^expectation of the overwhelming victory that was won ] 
should be said, though, that every .-officer and man on the w'asl 
mgton team was a good sportsman, and took the defeat with th 
best of grace. Every credit was given to the winners, and whe 
Sergt. Perry G.M. came within one of the possible at 800yds 
and made 47 at 1>000, the visitors were the first to complimer 
him upon his wonderful shooting. ^ 
The Washington men used the Krag rifle, whUe the CanadUu 
shot wiRi the Lee-Enfield. The experts at the range liked the 
home rifle better than the others for long distances, and in vari- 
able winds, the wind gauge and rear sight not being so good 
on the other. At 200yds. possibly the peep sight of the Krag 
would be an advantage. 
Ihe coaching of the winning team was of great advantage to the 
ji being very fickle, and the direction flags being 
ot hardly any use. The heat waves, too, were bad, and distorted 
the targets. The scores were:

After the big shoot on Saturday the Sixth Regiment dined the 
visitors from Washington at the Badminton. The tables had all 
kinds of good things upon them, and had also trophies galore 
by teams and men from the Sixth Regiment. Capt W 
Hart-McHarg was orderly officer of the day, and he acted as 
toastmaster. The first, of course, was the King; then came the 
President of the United States, and Col. Edwin DudTey, United 
States Consul, responded for his Chief. Col. Whyte proposed 
Our Guests and mad^e a rattling good- speech in doing so.

and said all kinds of nice things about British Columbia’s shooting
