Pacific Coast Yachting. 
San Francisco, Oct. 15 .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: San Franciscans are so busy at the 
present time making great preparations for the 
Portola festival, that yachting is for the time 
being neglected, notwithstanding the fine 
weather for the sport that has been experienced 
of late. However, during the coming few 
weeks of the season it is expected that some 
lively events will be pulled off, and during 
Portola week a number of yachts will be out 
entertaining friends from out-of-town districts, 
who will be here to enjoy the festal season. 
The muck-talked-of race around the Farallone 
Islands, scheduled for some weeks ago, was not 
held on account of lack of wind, and no definite 
time has been named for holding this leading 
event of the yachting year. Many of the events 
that have been scheduled for dates following 
this date have also fallen through for the same 
reason. On Oct. 2 and 3 the Pacific Interclub 
Yacht Association held its annual cruise, but so 
light was the wind that many of the yachts 
participating did not reach Mare Island 
Straits until midnight and the plans for the 
entertainment of the visitors that had been 
made at Vallejo were badly disarranged. 
The Corinthian Y. C. cruised to McNear’s 
on Oct. 10, and a number of yachts took ad¬ 
vantage of the fine weather to enjoy this fine 
trip. The San Francisco Y. C. will hold its 
annual motor boat regatta on Oct. 17, and five 
events will be contested at the Sausalito 
course. The leading race will be for the San 
Francisco Bay perpetual challenge cup that has 
been presented by F. A. Robins. This will be 
the first race for this cup, and it is expected 
that a large number of entries will be made. 
The annual Corinthian games, which were to 
have been held on Oct. 24, at Paradise Cove, 
have been postponed another week, in order 
not to interfere with the Portola festivities, 
which will just be winding up at that date. 
This is one of the great events of the year with 
a ball game as one of the leading features.

on Dec. 8 and 9. The first day’s event will be 100 birds,

vided. The championship will be shot at 100 birds on

defended his title as amateur champion of Philadelphia, 
in a contest' with Mr. Harry L. David, on the grounds 
of the Highland Gun Club at Edge Hill, Oct. 23. A 
murky sky and a strong wind were unfavorable weather 
conditions. The match was shot in five strings of 20 
targets. Each contestant broke his first 20 straight. 
Mink, however, led in each subsequent string.

The thirteen-man team race between the Phoenix Gun 
Club, of Phoenixville, Pa., and the Westcfiester Gun 
Club, on the grounds of the former, Oct. 23, resulted 
in ordinary scoring. The Phoenix team won by a total 
of 255 to 238 out of a possible 325. A banquet was ten¬

nounced that the Phoenix arid Duffryn-Mawr clubs had

R 
At the shoot of the Columbus, O., Gun Club, Oct. 23, 
a 50-mile wind seemed to be a pleasing weather condition 
to Mr. Wm. Webster, who scored 48 out of 50 in the 
main event. Next in order came Dr. Van Fossen with 
46, Chamberlain 44, and Shatford and Kingsbury tied on 
40. On Thursday of this week, a large attendance at

Under date of Oct. 23, Mr. Fred Shattuck, famous as 
the energetic Secretary of the Columbus, O., Gun Club, 
and winner of the G. A. H., writes us as follows: “Be¬ 
lieving that this will perhaps be the last communication 
that you will receive from me containing Columbus Gun 
Club news, I wish to extend to Forest and Stream, 
and yourself personally, my sincere thanks for contribut¬ 
ing to the success achieved by the Columbus Gun Club 
in the five years of its existence. Your cheerful publi¬ 
cation of all news sent pertaining to club affairs and 
shooting interests have indeed been a great help, and I 
wish you to know that it was much appreciated by the 
writer.” Our best wishes are extended to Mr. Shattuck 
for success in his new vocation. He leaves Columbus 
on Nov. 1 to engage in agriculture.
