Ticks From the Ship’s Clock. 
A real active committee has been appointed 
to handle the second annual water carnival at 
Chicago, Aug. 16-24. It is headed by Sheldon 
Clarke, secretary of the Chicago Y. C., one of 
the best posted yachtsmen on the Lakes, and as 
■active as a flea. The balance of the committee 
includes Sheldon Clarke, Chairman, C. H. Foster., 
Charles Chapin, Harry Higginbotham, W. J 
Hamlin, G. L. Weed, C. Z. Smith, Robert Tar¬ 
rant, Ira Hand, W. W. Nugent and George 
Shaffer. Chicago will be represented strongly. 
The arrangement committee, which includes 
Commodore Percy C. Jones, Holland Webster, 
District Attorney of Toledo; Judge Bernard F. 
Brough, W. C. Bellman, J. C. Nolan, Paul Jones 
and George E. Lorenz, delegates of the Maumee 
River Y. C., of Toledo, Ohio, left New York last 
week on Barbara II. to lay out plans for a path¬ 
finding cruise to Toledo, to be taken by local 
boat owners who make the trip for the Perry 
centennial celebration to be held at Toledo and 
Put-in-Bay. 
The first day’s elimination trials at Hemp¬ 
stead Harbor to select a cup lifter was a failure 
because of wind and wave interference. 
Through the filing of suits to collect insur¬ 
ance on a yacht, it became known that a group 
■of Americans have organized an American in¬ 
surance concern after the style of the English 
Lloyds, the chief purpose of which is to insure 
their own yachts. The concern is called the 
United States Lloyds, and each insurance policy 
creates a liability against each of the one hun¬ 
dred underwriters in the syndicate, and in case 
the claim under the policy is not paid, suit must 
be brought against each of the one hundred. 
Members of the syndicate are: Frank A. Van- 
derlip, J. P. Morgan and J. P. Morgan & Co., 
George W. Perkins, H. H. Rogers, James Crosby 
Brown, John E. Berwind, John Claflin, Levi P. 
Morton, Horace Havemeyer. Washington B. 
Thomas, Edward T. Bedford, J. Ogden Armour 
and Lewis F. Swift. 
Canoe Cup Defender. 
Although at the time of going to press a 
question has arisen as to whether James A. 
Newman, selected by the committee to repre¬ 
sent America in the international canoe regatta, 
carried too much canvas, it is generally con¬ 
ceded by canoemen that he is the logical man 
to defend the cup. Unquestionably had he had 
a better boat, of which there was more than 
one in the elimination, he would have sailed 
rings around the other contestants. 
The first race was won by Leo Friede, of 
the Manhattan C. C., with Newman 3m. behind. 
The second race went to Newman, through sheer 
good seamanship. 
In the third and final race eight candidates 
were brought out, who have been competing in 
the. trials, and although James A. Newman, rep¬ 
resenting the Winchester B. C., of Boston, fin¬ 
ished the course first with the best elapsed time, 
he was disqualified at the finish for fouling the 
buoy at the start. The mishap, however, did 
not change the opinions of those delegated to 
pass on the man to defend the honors, as the 
Bostonian has all along been conceded to be the 
best sailor of the squad. 
The mishap, due to a technicality, although 
it placed Newman second on the final day’s test, 
virtually gave him two victories, as on Friday 
he was the winner of the second test by a com¬ 
fortable margin. On that occasion he showed 
his real skill at handling the tricky craft, and 
was practically selected to oppose the Canadian. 
The trials called for a series of three elimina¬ 
tion races, and, as the first two did not test the 
real ability of the contenders, owing to the lack 
of suitable winds and calmness of the water, it 
was decided to make the third trial. 
In the final trial the best wind of the three 
days was experienced, and with this adjunct 
Newman, after his unintentional error of foul¬ 
ing the buoy, went out at the start and held com¬ 
mand over the entire four rounds. The con¬ 
testants were: Leo Friede, Manhattan C. C.; 
James F. Newman, Boston; George Douglas, 
Knickerbocker C. C.; Dr. Brown, Boston; J. 
Russell Magers, Knickerbocker C. C.; H. 
Moore, Knickerbocker C. C.; H. O. Murphy, 
Boston; W. Andrews, Knickerbocker C. C. 
The Canadian challenger is Ralph D. Brit¬ 
ton, who earned his right to challenge by win¬ 
ning the Canadian championship at Sugar 
Island, Thousand Islands, last year.

Chicago Archery Meet. 
The archery contest in Chicago on July 3, 
4 and 5, under the auspices of the International 
Athletic Championship Association, was distinc¬ 
tive in two respects. It was the first event of 
a semi-national character in many years, and it 
was marked by the breaking of the national 
record in the American round, and the highest 
record in the York round ever made by a new 
contestant. 
Forest and Stream regrets that the official 
report of the meet has not been received up to 
the hour of going to press, and the following 
details are taken from the Chicago daily papers. 
This is said in explanation of any possible errors 
of figures that may be detected. If such appear, 
the records will be corrected in a later issue 
from the official scores, when they come to hand. 
The meet opened July 3 in Grant Park. A 
strong wind, which was to be expected, as the 
park is immediately on the lake, prevailed 
throughout the events. The partial results of 
the first day’s shooting were: 
American round: 
E. T. Rendtorff... 89 599 H. L. Walker .... 82 384 
H. 3. Tavlor . 83 501 Dr. C. S. Case ... 74 300 
G. L. Nichols.... 81 449 Dr. E. B. Weston 68 300 
T. H. Pendry .... 82 426
