How to Join the A. C. A, 
Bath Beach, L. I.— Saturday, Sept, 2. 
The annual fall regatta of the Marine and Field Club proved 
to be one of the .best , held on Gravesend Bay this year. Twenty- 
six boats started in seven classes, the winners being Vivian II., 
Lizana, Phantotti, Ogeemah, Spots, Chiceokee and Gamma. 
Lizana got the s'pecial trophy offered for the best corrected time 
over the longer course and Ogeemah scored like honors among 
the craft taking the inside journey. 
The first division was sent away at 3:06. This included sloops 
in Classes N and P. Lizana and Vivian II. were the only boats 
|;oing over anywhere near the gun, Anona, Tabasco and Bobtail 
being between three and four minutes late. On the second 
signal at 3:10 the yawls started. Lotowana was late. Phantom 
led,, followed by La Cubana and Kate in the order named. The 
course for these boats was from the start off the Marine and Field 
Club to a mark boat off Fort Hamilton, thence to the bell buoy 
three-quarters of a mile to the northward of West Bank Light 
and home, twice around, aggregating 16 miles. The first leg was 
a reach, the second brought close-hauled work, and the last "Was 
a reach home with ballooners set to port. 
The boats in other classes sailed the regular inside Association 
course, traveling the first leg with the larger boats. After that 
it was a beat to Sea: Gate, a reach to Ulmer Park and a spin- 
naker run home. More Trouble led the inside division home at 
the end of the first round, while Vivian II. secured like honors 
among the racers going outside. 
Bobtail, Anona and Miss Judy withdrew before the finish, all 
having gotten away to belated starts. Lizana secured victory 
in Class P on time allowance from the N. Y. Y. C. 30-footer 
Tabasco, while ^ Ogeemah defeated More Trouble, first boat to 
finish in Class Q, on corrected time. In the other classes first 
boats were winners. The summaries follow:

New York Harbor— Saturday, Sept. 2. 
The first qualifying race for the trophy offered by S. E. Vernon, 
open to competition for boats of any recognized yacht club, in 
Classes N, P and Q, was sailed on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 
2 The winner of the event proved to be the new Class Q boat 
Quest, which defeated Ogeemah on corrected time by 39s. The 
boats were started on their handicaps much the same way as 
power boat races are now conducted. 
A course was sailed with the start off Sea Gate and turning marks, 
the black can buoy off' Swineburn Island and a stakeboat at Fort 
Hamilton, twice around aggregating 11 nautical miles. ■ The first 
leg was a reach, the second a fine spinnaker run to Fort Hamil- 
ton, and the last a beat home, all marks being left to starboard. 
Ogeemah, being the first craft to start, the interesting part of 
the struggle finally centered in the overhauling of her in the 
second round by the other Class Q creations. Quest was sailed 
b)' Clement Negus and got the lead of the other new boats start- 
ing at the same time by standing out into the tide more on the 
first round, when coming home to windward. This lead was ably 
maintained until the end, Ogeemah being finally passed on the 
last tack for the finish. 
The four boats securing the greatest number of points in two 
qualifying races are to meet in the final event for the trophy. 
Just at the finish of the first race Saetta fouled More Trouble, 
not allowing the latter boat enough room to round the buoy. She 
was in consequence disqualified. The summaries follow:

Bensonhtifst Y. C. 
Gravesend Bay, L. I. — Friday, Sept. 1. 
The third and last race of the season for the W. H. Childs 
perpetual challenge trophy, for Classes M and under, was sailed 
on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 1. Three boats entered the 
event, which was won by the New York C. C. challenger Ogeemah, 
on corrected time, from the Marine and Fieia Club boat. Quest, 
by 3m. 27s. Ogeemah got an allowance of 10m. 52s. for the 
12-mile course sailed. Quest finished first, beating More Trouble, 
the Bensonhurst Y. C. defender, on elapsed time by Im. 30s. 
Temporary possession of the trophy is secured in one race. The 
New York C. C. will thus keep the beautiful piece of the silver- 
smith’s art until lost through a challenge series. Ogeemah gets 
a miniature of the trophy to keep for all time. 
The course selected for the boats was from the start off Ulmer 
Park, to can buoy No. 13 off Fort Wadsworth, thence to buoy 
No. 7 down the bay and home. The first leg was a reach, 
across the channel with booms to starboard, the second was a 
beat and the third a spinnaker run until within a half mile of 
the finish, when ballooners were carried alone. Quest and More 
Trouble had it hard from the start, the former keeping to wind- 
ward at all times and sailing in splendid form. The summaries

Bevcfly Y, C 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its 374th regatta from its club house 
on Saturday, Aug. 26. The event was the second club and sweep- 
stake race of the season. 
The wind throughout the day was from the N.E., varying greatly 
in velocity and direction, and must have reached as high a 
velocity as 20 miles an hour in the puffs. 
Three 25-footers again appeared, and a good race in their class 
resulted. These boats and the 21-footers were both sent to Bow 
Bells and back. As the 25-footers carried no spinnakers, the 21- 
footers, which started 5m. after them, gained rapidly on them on 
the run down the bay, and at the lower mark had nearly over- 
taken them. On the beat home Barnacle, the leading 21-footer, 
soon passed the leading 25-footer, Thorana, just before that boat 
reached the finish line. Nokomis was second in the 25-footers, 
and Amanita III. second in the 21-footers. 
The 18-footers were sent to Bird Island and back. Mr. Sar- 
gent’s Wizard took first place, and Hindoo second place. 
The 15-footers were sent to Abiel’s Ledge, Mosher’s Rock, and 
return. Miss Warren again took first place in her Seeps, and Miss 
Codman took second place in her Yalu. 
Judges: L. S. Dabney and Chas. H. Taylor.

Plymouth Y. C* 
Plymouth, Mass.— Thursday, Aug. 31. 
That part of the south shore circuit of Y. R. A. open races 
confined to Plymouth and Duxbury Bays, was opened on Thurs- 
day, Aug 31, by the Plymouth Y. C., with slim attendance. A 
howling N.E. kept many boats in all classes from entering. Two 
22-footers started. Nutmeg and Rube, each carrying a double- 
reefed mainsail and storm jib. Rube got the start, but Nutmeg 
took the seas better and at once went ahead, leading all around 
the course. ^ Rube stuck to her, however, and forced the setting 
ot light sails, a spinnaker on the last leg reducing Nutmeg’s 
lead at the finish to only 7s. In the 18-footers Dorchen led from 
start to finish. Stranger was the only starter in the Cape cat 
class. The summary:

Ohio Rifle Notes. 
The Twin Valley Rifle Club, of Lewisburg, had the hottes 
contest of the year for the medal on Aug. 26. Jesse Johnso: 
won With a score of 47 out of 48 possible, the highest score mad 
in this match for over eight monthk If he wins the Septembe 
match the medal will become his property. He won the othe 
medal earlier in the year. The medal match is at 100yds., oil 
hand, 4 shots, possible 48, three moneys, Creedmoor target. A 
U. Clemmer was second, to-day, with 46, C. W. Matthews 44. Ii 
the five, 4-shot matches, possible 48 in each, and 240 in the ag 
gregate, Johnson and Clemmer tied for -ffrst on 213. In th 
first shoot-off each scored 9. In the second Johnson won, 1 
to . 9. Clemmer took second money. The match was shot o: 
animal targets, 100 yds. offhand, two moneys in each event an< 
two m the aggregate. Izor was second with 212, Matthews 201 
McBride 202, Lesher 199. This is the fifth 20-shot match of th 
season, and Johnson has won four, as follows: ■ April, 222; May 
223, July, 213; August, 213. The June match was won by G 
W. Izor, with 222. 
The Greene County Deer Hunters’ Association held their annua 
reunion on Aug. 30. This is the first reunion of the year am 
was held in Hawkin’s grove, between Lucas grove and Green 
county, the rifle range being in a large meadow across the roac 
with a high hill for a background. The affair is made a picnic 
and was attended by a large number of hunters and their families 
After a few sighting shots, the contest opened at 150yds. Th. 
target was a life-size representation of a deer, ' running on . 
wire stretched across the range at a varying height from th. 
ground. Out of 130 shots fired 18 struck the target. Of these 
Ed. G. Sander, of Dayton; Byron Stedman and Lew Andersoi 
each scored two hits, either of which Would have killed a deer 
O. W. Linkhart and Andy Fisher also scored hits in a vita 
part. The long distance match, at 300yds., was disappointing a 
no records could be kept, owing to the confusion arising fron 
an attempt to keep the score at the targets as well as at thi 
firing point. A better system is promised for next season Ed 
G. Sander, of Dayton, won the hunting knife given as firs 
prize m the 100yd. contest, one shot, possible 10. His score wa' 
9. Thirty hunters took part in this contest. Several of the ladie^ 
made good scores m a 100yd. match, 3 shots, possible 30 the bes' 
score being 18. All shooting was offhand. ’ 
It has been agreed by the Dayton Sharpshooters that the firs' 
annual reunion of deer hunters shall be held on the Dayton Gur 
Club’s grounds on Sept. 14. This will be an all-day contest anc 
open to the world.

offered by Chief of Police Milliken, of Cincinnati, will be held 
about the middle of September, at the pistol range on the tor 
floor of the City Hall. Each contestant will have 20 shots usins
