Forest and Stream is the official organ of the National Archery Association. 
Pittsburgh’s Archers Busy. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 16. —Editor Forest 
and S'tream: Good scores were made by the 
Bon Air Archers at their regular Saturday shoot, 
although Mr. Holmes was not shooting up to 
his regular standard. 
York round: 
100yds. 80yds. 60yds. Total. 
Holmes . 26- 94 25- 99 20-110 71-303 
Hertig . 50-176 39-203 24-140 113-519 
The wind was strong during the ioo-yard 
shooting, making a high score difficult of attain¬ 
ment. 
Team round: ' 
\Y. J. Holmes. S9-447 O. L. Hertig . 94-576 
AY. Douthitt . 53-257 
The newer members of the club devoted 
themselves to an American round Score: 
Y. Douthitt . 7S-390 Dr. J. F. Corby.... 54-210 
Dr. Stauffer . 6J-.35S H Col ingwood . 53-217 
Dr. Corby’s score is worthy of note, being 
the second time he has faced the target. 11 is 
start at practice was startling, getting his first 
three arrows in the gold at forty yards. After 
the team round the writer shot forty-eight 
arrows extra at sixty yards, scoring 48-268, which 
brings the total of the 144 arrows shot at sixty 
yards to 142-844. 
A team shoot was held the following morn¬ 
ing at the Beechview range, the scores of which 
were poor, due no doubt to an excess of prac¬ 
tice the day before. Scores: 
\V. J. Holmes. 83-385 G \Y Postgate . 67-299 
Dr. Hertig . 82-390 Jas. Burkel . 51-179 
Jas. S. .Tiles. 79-341 
James Duff to the contrary notwithstanding 
many things can operate to the undoing' of the 
shooter, which in no way may be attributed to 
nerves. The above very poor scores were made 
under conditions perfectly adapted to perfect re¬ 
sults, and the reasons why they were poor are 
many, but “nerves” do not appear as one of 
them. O. L. Hertig. 
Phil Bryant Breaks His Arm. 
Forest and Stream regrets to learn of a 
bad accident to George Phillips Bryant, of Bos¬ 
ton. Ex-president Gray writes that Mr. Bryant 
broke his right arm in two places on Sunday, 
Sept. 14. He let down a ladder from his barn 
window and started to descend. The ladder 
slipped on the concrete driveway and shot out, 
precipitating Mr. Bryant to the concrete ground. 
This is a distressing accident, but Mr. Bryant 
and his friends—all archers—may take comfort 
from the fact that such injuries need not prove 
permanently disabling, even need not render the 
arm one whit less vigorous on recovery. That's 
what we and all of us wish for Phil. 
Weekly Yacht Review. 
Trie sportsmanship was shown by the Chi¬ 
cago Y. C. in postponing the race for the Man- 
hasset cup two days in order to enable the rep¬ 
resentative of the Rhode Island Y. C. Sti anger 
which, incidentally, was challenger. Owing to 
a delay in shipment. Stranger did not arrive in 
time to get tuned up for the races as per 
schedule. In the first race, sailed on the 22d, 
Michicago won, her time for the sixteen miles 
being 4!!. 50m. in a twelve-mile wind. The crew 
of Michicago was Skipper F. A. Price, Sport 
Herman. Lee Ibold, Monk Lyons, M. McDer¬ 
mott and one paid hand. South Shore, repre¬ 
senting the South Shore Country Club, was sec¬ 
ond, her crew being Otto Schoenwerk, skipper; 
George Wee, Harry Higanbottam, L. Lambin, 
Fall Springer and one professional. Stranger 
finished third, her crew being Skipper George 
Owen who designed both challenger and holder; 
R. P. Jencks, William Thurber, Fred Thurber, 
Bradbury Barnes and one professional. The 
other entrants, Olympian and Mavourneen, 
finished in the order named. It is reported that 
considerable time was lost by the crew of 
Stranger in the handling of extra canvas. The 
series consists of three races. 
The Bayside Y. C. regatta practically closed 
the Long Island Sound season, with an excellent 
number of entries. The winners were Addison 
G. Hanan’s Josephine in Class P; W. H. Judson’s 
Rival in schoonerettes. This race was close, 
being a difference of only 18s. between the win¬ 
ner and Clarkson Cowl's Moira. George Gran- 
berry's Joker won easily in the handicap class, 
first division; Twinkle won in the second divis¬ 
ion, while in the Larchmont Interclub c’ass Wil¬ 
liam S. McIntosh's Yuron was the only starter. 
Among the Bayside birds, W. S Dayton’s 
Skylark won by only 5s. from Teaser, owned 
by A. Nesbitt. Pixy, owned by L. F. Eggers, 
beat Avis by 2111. in the Manhasset Bay race- 
about event. Among the fish, Commodore 
Blaisdell’s Gar had an easy time, winning from 
Tarpon by more than 5m. In Class R. Virginia 
beat Petrel without effort. Among the stars, 
A. B. Fry’s Star Farway finished nearly 2111. 
ahead of George Corey’s Little Dipper. In the 
Bayside handicap class, Silverheels, owned by 
J. E. Hill, had over 4m. to spare at the finish. 
Among the Bayside one-designers, J. S. Nesbitt's 
Edna J. had 5m. to spare at the end. In the 
Bug class it was too easy for Scarab. The But¬ 
terflies furnished an excellent race. A. N. Stol- 
werck’s Alberta won over Venessa by a little 
over 1 m. 
The Bayside Y. C. has had a decidedly satis¬ 
factory season and has done a great deal for 
yacht racing on Long Island Sound. 
Across the way at Belle Harbor Y. C. the 
wind was so light that sailing events were called 
off at the end of the first round. Among the 
power boats there were some very interesting 
events. 
At the Indian Harbor Y. C. lack of wind 
put the club out of commission without its last 
scheduled race. 
At Red Bank Y. C. the big event was the 
election of officers who were as follows: Com¬ 
modore, John S. Dickerson, of New York; Vice- 
Commodore, J. “Fred” Betz, III., of Philadel¬ 
phia; Secretary, William L. Hedenberg, of New 
York and Fairhaven; Treasurer, “Chris” G. 
Hupfel, of New York; Fleet Captain, J. Frank 
James, of Brooklyn. 
At the Hingham Y. C., Class A was won 
by Marie; Class B, by Lettie; Class C, by Violet; 
Class S, by Maritza; Class II. by Millie. The 
Hingham 15-footers was won by LTsona II. 
The season’s winners of the Yacht Racing 
Association of Massachusetts were: Class P. 
Italia; Class D, Dartwell; Class I, Moslem IF; 
Class H, Nicknack II.; Class X, Terror IT.; 
Chas. T. Tabasco, Jr. 
William Gardner has the plans for a new 
class of 38-rating sloops for Long Island Sound 
to be built next season. 
Irolita has been hauled out at Wood’s 
Shipyard, City Island, for the season.
