The Eagle Rifle Trophy. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, in Feb., 1896, offered a trophy for the rifle shooting championship, to be contested for by the regiments of the 2d Brigade. The 23d Regt. were winners in 1896. In 1897 the contests began Feb. 6 and closed on April 17, the 23d winning again. Contests in 1898 were begun on Jan. 22, and continued until Apr. 23, but were not completed. As, however, the percentage of matches won by the 14th was .750 to .500 each for the 47th and 23d, and .250 for the 13th, the cup was justly awarded for No the year to the first named organization. matches were shot in 1899 and 1900. In 1901 the series began on Feb. 2, and at its close, Apr. 20. the teams stood: Won. Lost.1 Won.

The first and third races were fifteen miles to windward and back, and the second was over a triangular course of thirty miles. Cup Defender Races. There were three candidates for the privilege of defending the America's Cup in 1901. The Constitution, built by the Herreshoffs for a New York Yacht Club syndicate; the Independence, built for T. W. Lawson of Boston, and the Columbia, the successful cup defender of 1899. To the surprise of all, the oldest of the three yachts was finally selected to defend the cup. Many races were sailed between the three during the season, and the committee made its choice after only two of the official trial races had been sailed. The Inderendence was not eligible for these trial races, because she was not registered with the New York Y. C. in the name of one of its members, but her earlier defeats by both of the others proved that she was not fast enough to win the much coveted honor of defending the cup. The following table shows a summary of the races between the 90-footers last season: THIRD RACE-AUGUST 13. TRIANGULAR.
