FOREST AND STREAM. 
fNov. li, 1905. 
qualified for the championship in this class out of eleven 
which competed at some time or other. The reason for 
mot qualifying and also why the average percentage of 
the second boat in the class and of other boats in this 
class and other classes appears inconsistent with the total 
percentage and the number of starts, will be explained 
further on. 
In the 15ft. class Cigarette, owned by Dr. Morton 
Prince, was the only boat to qualify. She sailed in six 
races, taking three firsts and one second. 
There was greater opportunity for observing the effect 
of the new rating rule in class M than in any other. 
In this class five boats Competed and in the accompany- , 
ing table the rating of these boats are given, as they also 
are in the other rating classes. The boats of longest 
waterline in class M were Cossack and Louise, nominally 
35-footers. Chewink IV. and Sauquoit were 30-footers 
of the class which was organized in 1904. Seboomook is 
one of the former Y. R. A. 25-footers. It will be noticed 
that both of the 30-footers rate higher than the 35-foot- 
ers. and that there is very little difference between the 
rating of the 25-footer Seboomook and the 35-footer 
Louise. Chewink IV. took three firsts and five seconds 
out of eight starts and got the championship. Cossack’s 
record of three firsts out of three starts may look a little 
better for averaging up, but it does not go far enough 
on account of her not sailing the required number of 
races. Chewink IV. is owned by Mr. F. G. Macom- 
ber, Jr. 
In class N were two of the original 22-footers, Setsu 
and Opitsah V., each rating at 32.36. Neither qualified 
for a championship and there was hardly enough racing 
between them to show what might have been done. 
In class P there were the 25-footer Carina II., rating 
at very nearly her waterline length, two 21-footers and 
an old-timer, the yawl Sea Fox. Carina II. did about 
all of the going in this class, taking six firsts and three 
seconds out of nine starts. 
In class Q were two knockabouts, whose rating is 
given as the limit of the class. Soubrette, owned by Mr. 
W. B. Moot, is about 19ft. on the waterline, carrying 450 
sq. ft. of sail. Carmen is a 21ft. knockabout carrying 500 
sq. ft. of sail. Soubrette got four firsts out of four starts. 
A number of races were given for the championships, 
I believe nine. The positions were figured on a percen- 
tage basis, the total percentage being divided by the num- 
ber of starts._ It is specified, however, that a yacht must 
have started in at least six races to qualify for the cham- 
pionship, and consequently the work of those yachts sail- 
ing less than the required number goes for nothing, so 
far as official record or championship is concerned. This 
applies to. Nibelung, in the 15ft. class, whose average 
percentage is greater than that of the only boat in the 
class to. qualify. In the accompanying table, however, a 
record is given of all boats competing, for the purpose 
of reference, it being assumed in dividing the total per- 
centages that a yacht has started at least six times. The 
table, for which I am indebted to Mr. H. S. Goodwin, 
chairman of the Regatta Committee of the Corinthian 
Y. C., follows :

Ossining, N. Y., Nov. i.~Editor Forest and Stream'. We would 
. ..like again, through the columns of your valued paper, to call the 
attention of rte gun clubs of New York State to the reorganized 
JN GW York State Sportsmati s Association. Some time ago a 
notice was sent to the secretary of every gun club in New York 
State, asking them to bring before a meeting of their club's the 
proposition of joining the N. Y. S. Association. While some 
clubs have responded, the majority are still to be heard from 
A permanent set of officers have been elected: M. R Bingham 
President, Rome, N. Y. ; F. D. Kelsey, Vice-President, East 
Aurora’ N. Y ; C. G. Blandford, Secretary and Treasurer, Ossin- 
ing, N. Y.; Hon. H. L. Gates, Utica, N. Y., and Harvey Mc- 
Murchy, Fulton, N. Y., Directors. These men. are devoted to the 
sport of trapshooting, and their endeavors to revive the old 
interest that was taken in the Dean Richmond cup competition 
and accompanying week’s tournament once each year, should meet 
with the unanimous indorsement and support of N. Y. S. A. 
clubs. 
_Dr. McLeod, secretary of the Infallible Gun Club, Buffalo, 
N. Y., writes me that his club will offer a programme at the 
forty-eighth annual tournament, to be held in June, 1906, under 
the auspices of that club, that will set the boys studying rail- 
road maps and time-tables when they receive one. All clubs are 
required to pay $5 initiation fee and $2 yearly dues. If your club 
has not already joined, please send in the required amount for 
enrollment, so that your club will do its share in supporting a live 
association. N. Y. Association,
