She is 40ft. over all, 39ft. pin. waterline, loft. breadth and 
I ft. draft. The frames, stem, keel, etc., are of white oak 
and the planking is of yellow pine. The fastenings are 
of copper throughout. The boat’s deck is flush and she 
is fitted with a standing roof top and canvas side curtains. 
Aft there is a small house which contains a toilet and a 
galley. The boat is steered from the forward deck. She 
has a very flat floor and aft the stern is tunneled out. 
This keeps the draft down yet permits a fairly large 
wheel to be used. The boat is fitted with a Seabury fore 
and aft compound engine and a Seabury safety water- 
tube boiler. A speed of 10 miles is looked for. The boat 
will be sent to South America on the deck of a steamer.

Schooner Emerald Sold to F. L. Clark. — The 
schooner Emerald has been sold by Mr. William E. Iselin 
to Mr. F. Lewis Clark, Eastern Y. C., through the agency 
of Mr. Frank Bowne Jones. Emerald was designed by 
Mr. Henry C. Winterinp-ham for Mr. J. Rogers Maxwell 
and built in 1893 by Messrs. S. L. Moore & Sons, at 
Elizabeth, N. J. She originally had a clipper bow, but in 
1894 she was lengthened and a spoon bow replaced the 
old one. These changes improved the boat, and in 1903 
her centerboard was removed and she was made a keel 
boat. Emerald has been used entirly for cruising, and 
she will replace Mr. Clark’s old schooner ,Undercliff. 
Emerald is 117ft. over all, 85ft. waterline, 21ft. yin. 
breadth and 14ft. draft. Mr. Clark is considering the 
advisability of converting Emerald into an auxiliary.

Rifle at Shell Mound. 
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 27. — Yesterday was turkey day at 
Shell Mound range, and a large delegation of shooters was 
present. The weather conditions were good, and in the Schuetzen 
Verein re-entry contest some good scoring was done. One rifle- 
man made 74 and 73 out of 76 possible in three shots. 
After twenty-six years’ most successful management of the park 
and shooting range, Capt. Louis Siebe has pased the keys to his 
son William, who will continue the efficient methods of his father.

Fixtures. 
March 12-17. — New York. — One hundred shot indoor championship. 
At Providence. 
The Cranston range, near Providence, R. I., will be a rallying 
point for riflemen. The programme provides events at 25 and 
Myds. for .22 rifles, and events at 20 and 50yds. for revolvers. 
The matter of building an indoor range for the club will be 
settled at a meeting in the near future. A committee will be ap- 
ointed to arrange for the annual meeting in February. From the 
ournal we take the following: 
Action will be taken on the By-Laws presented by the National 
Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, and membership 
secured in the National Rifle Association, so that the club mem- 
bers may have an opportunity to take up the interesting work of 
shooting the military Krag at 200, 300 and 500yds. The National 
Board stands back of the club movement, and also some of the 
prominent Brigade officers. It is probable that many of the 
military shooters will enter the club under this division to secure 
the benefits of annual membership in the National Rifle Associa- 
tion at the minimum expense. Since the abolition of annual in- 
1 dividual membership by the National, many of the military 
shooters are barred from its privileges, which the club’s affiliation 
v.'ill restore. Applications should be made early to the secretary, 
in order that the club list may go to Washington at an early date. 
The membership' of the club has increased by three recently, 
H. Powell, William H. Tibbetts and Dr. James H. Lorah having 
been elected by the executive committee, and several applications 
now on file for action. • 
It is probable that one of the interesting features of --the 
Thanksgiving Day shoot , will be a combination team match, sides 
being chosen from among the members present for both teams, 
and the shooting to be done with both rifle and revolver,' ten 
shots with each by each man. As many of the revolver shooters 
have not done any rifle shooting in some time, and several of fhe 
expert riflemen are equally unfamiliar with the revolver, the 
results will be interesting. 
The following scores have been recorded:

up on his farm with target trolleys. It is. . 76ft. long and Mr. 
Gute intends to- practice diligently during, .the winter and get 
into the best possible form for the next - indoor championship

Lady Zettler Rifle Club. 
Providence, R. I., Revolver Club. 
The informal Thanksgiving Day shoot was well attended both 
by members and t’neir friends. 
The 200yd. rifle match was withdrawn because of the gale of 
wind which sw^ept over the range, the men preferring the shelter 
of the well-ivarmed shooting house, and devoting their attention 
to the miniature rifles at short range. The revolver shooters were 
badly handicapped, the sudden and strong gusts of wind blowing 
the sights in every direction but the bullseye, and as a conse- 
quence very few scores were turned in, and those were exceedingly 
low. The riflemen fared better, being enabled to steady their guns 
more against the wind, and standing further back from the 
windows, some very fine shooting was done. 
The most interesting event of the day was the “surprise match,” 
sprung at the opening of the range. One of the enthusiasts ap- 
peared with a bundle, which he explained was to be the center of 
attraction, and consisted of prizes worth the skill of the best men. 
The plan was soon arranged to shoot rifles at 25yds. on the re- 
duced German ring target and revolvers at 20yds. on reduced 
Standard, three shots per string, with a posible of 75 points lor 
rifles, and 30 points for revolvers, best three scores to count; 
prizes to remain unknown until close of shoot. 
The members entered the contest with much enthusiasm, and 
the three short ranges were kept busy. The competitors gradu- 
ally narrowed down to half a dozen, and late in the afternoon was 
nip-and-tuck between four of the men as to who would take 
highest honors for the day. Luther had three scores of 74 with a 
total of 222, Beach a three-string total of 221, Coulters Allowing 
close with 17, when Gardiner picked up, shooting one “possible” 
and a 74, tying with 222 for first place, with Luther, and winning 
out by his next best score, a 73 to Luther’s 72. 
The following were the only scores turned in for recording:

A Duel Avoided. 
The elder Durnas, the eminent French novelist, was not spared 
the severe criticisms which attack a famous name, but, like all 
wise men, he was content to treat these attacks with dignified 
silence. Not so his son. Exasperated by the particularly severe 
criticisms of a noted jourrialist, the young man— then in his col- 
lege days— took upon himself to right the wrongs of his father, 
and sent two chums to arrange for a duel with the offender. 
Calmly the journalist listened to what they had to say. When 
they had concluded he called a servant, directing him to tell his 
son to come to the Study. 
“Gentlemen,” he said, “as this appears to be an affair of sons, 
and not of fathers, etiquitte would seem to demand that you 
should arrange your matter with my son. He will be here directly, 
and no doubt will give you all the satisfaction you wish.” 
So saying, he left the room, and a moment later the journalist’s 
son entered— a child of three years, in the arms of ms nurse.—

Thanksgiving Day in the East was a day of blustering, high

knives and divides indoors.

An unusually large number of trapshoots throughout the States 
on Thanksgiving Day had programmes which talked turkey in a 
most liberal and beneficent manner. Of still greater beneficence 
was the pocketbook which enabled a shooter to pay for targets 
and talk personal turkey independently of goose eggs.

score of 24 to 20. 
The manager, Mr. A. A. Schoverling, writes us that “Owing to 
the success of the many tournaments held by the Palisade Gun 
Club, of Edgewater, N. J., and feeling that there is a field for

with the Brooklyn Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y., to hold regular 
bi-weekly shoots on the first day of the week, and tournaments on 
all holidays and on dates not conflicting with other gun clubs. 
These shoots will be announced in the columns of your paper and
