 plifying the applicalion of the engine. The Franklin « as built as an

As a compromise yacht, suitable for bays and fairly sheltered 

 arms of the sea, for hunting and cruising iu laud lucked ualers.au 

 outside view of the schooner-rigged Chimo, belonging to Mr. K. E. 

 Johnson of New York, will convey an idea of present practice. Con- 

 sidering the small size of the Chimo. a great deal of useful service 

 hasbeeugot out of the boat, owing to high-sided bull and large 

 cabins due to small space occupied by her motive gear. Though 

 smaller than many a launch, we consider ihe plan followed in the 

 Cbimo much preferable, and giving a far wider use for the 

 money than if invested in a comparatively useless open launch. 

 Her length over all is l?ft ; beam, liift. Cin.; depth, ift. Her owner 

 speaks of her performance in Ihe highest terms. 



The third division of steam yachu is comparatively little known 

 or appreciated as yet In this country, lu England, however, sailing 

 yachts with auxiliary or moderate steam power, are rather ihe rule 

 than the exception, and they offer so many advantages, that it seems 

 only a question of time for them to become popular iu America. In
