Lloyd's Yacht Registkb. Lloyd's Register 

 of British and Foreign Shipping, 2 

 White Lion Court, Cornhill, London ; 

 Through the kindness of James T). Leary, 

 73 William St., Lloyd's surveyor for New York, 

 wo are in receipt of the second annual Yacht 

 Kegister issued by the Lloyds of London. The 

 Register for 1879 baa been much enlarged, con- 

 taining all the supplementary lists iaaued during 

 the year. It is somewhat noteworthy that when 

 an American wants to iiod out something about 

 his own yacht he haa to tnrn to British authority 

 for information. If some of our contemporaries 

 who charge themselves with the earn oi American 

 Bhipping interests would cease (heir silly on- 

 slaughts upon Lloyds, and would attempt to 

 substitute for the ahamoful and characterless 

 humbugB which flourish here in America as 

 American Lloyds, something more entitled to 

 confidence and something not to be bought with 

 a five-dollar note, they would attain the end 

 they seek much sooner than by barking away at 

 the British Lloyds— something which reminds 

 one very much of tho spiteful little our barking 

 up againBt the big and shaggy-coated Newfound- 

 land who only wags his tail in recognition. The 

 number of subscribers to the Yacht Register in 

 America have increased, but still are not up to 

 what the value of thebook can claim. When we 

 remember that it contains full tables of scant- 

 lings and fastenings for the construction of 

 yachts of wood, iron and composites, how and 

 ■when to inspect the work of building, size of 

 spars, anchors and chains for everything from 

 fifteen tons up, besides dimensions and particu- 

 lars of an endless number of yaohts, British and 

 American, — it is simply a wonder that tho 

 Register has not yet found its way into every 

 building yard and aboard of every yacht in the 

 country. But we are not yet a reading nation, 

 and hence the comparatively slow sale of one of 

 the most valuable yachting volumes ever pub- 

 lished. Concerning tho attempt of Lloyd's to 

 include American yachts in the Register, the 

 record is necessarily incomplete, owing to the 

 difficulty of gathering such statistics aB yet, 

 us well aB owing to the lethargy oxhibited by 

 moat owners in such matters, an esprit de corps 

 among our yachtsmen being only in process of 

 formation, while in England all pull togothor 

 for the common good. The Register shows 

 many remarkable phasos of yachting in Great 

 Britain, to which we will refer at Bome other 

 time; the great size of some of the steamers as 

 as well as the several yachts often owned by the 

 same person exhibiting the strong hold the 

 sport haa got. The number being built under 

 Lloyd's inspection has rapidly increased, and 

 now a yaoht is hardly considered up to the 

 highest grade unless built under inspection of 

 the regular surveyors of the company. More- 

 over, builders do not complain of any interfer- 

 ence with their busiuess by this plan ; on the 

 contrary, tho reputable firms feel that no 

 " scamp" work can be palmed off upon unsus- 

 pecting owners, and their offers thereby under- 

 hid by irresponsible parties. The custom of 

 constructing under survey has been found a 

 protection to builder and owner alike. We sigh 

 for the day when yacht building in America will 

 have advanoed to such a state of development 

 as to permit survey with one eye closed even. 

 As it is, an inspection of the soantling, fasten- 

 ing, and, above all, rig and nttingB of most 

 yachts on this side of tho Atlantic, would drive a 

 Lloyds man accustomed to English work to 

 rapid suicide. The ! ' get uip'> of the Yacht 

 Register is all that can be desired, and in its neat 

 binding and gilt edges should be a welcomo 

 addition to all yachts' libraries. As a book of 

 reference we find it invaluable. Among the 

 American yachts we find tho Eastern clubs the 

 best represented, they evidently having au- 

 Bwered the call of Lloyds more readily than the 

 lesB alert organization in New York and neigh- 

 borhood. But the Ust does us no particular 

 credit, and it remains to be seen whether 

 yachtsmen propose to have us property repre- 

 sented in the future issues or not. Such a work 

 is of an international character, and as long aB 

 we are not able to supplant it with something 

 American, let us give to tho Register what aid 

 and Bympathy we can. Wo believe copies can 

 be obtained from Jlr. J. D. Lenry. 72 WilliamSt., 

 New York, who will also umiah price on applica- 

 tion. 



Instinct or Reason?— A small English 

 terrier belonging to a friend has been taught 

 to ring for the servant. To test if the dog 

 knew why it rang the hell, he was told to do 

 so, while' the girl was in the room. The little 

 fellow looked up in the most intelligent man- 

 ner at the person giving the order, (his master 

 or mistress, I forget which,) then at the ser- 

 vant, and refused to obey, although the order 

 •was repeated more than once. The servant left 

 the room, and in a few minutes the dog rang 

 the bell immediately on being told to do so. 



1 give the following as told by my wife, now 

 dead, who personally witnessed the transac- 

 tion on various occasions. At her sister's house 

 in Kent, a donkey which when not employed 

 by the chiklern, grazed in the field with some 

 cows, was in the regular habit of acting as 

 follows : — At the hour for the cows to come 

 homo to be milked the donkey lifted the latch 

 of the field gate, opened and held back the 

 gate, (which would otherwise have swuug 

 close again,) till all all the cows passed out, 

 then allowed the gate to shut, and went home 

 with the cows. Of course no one taught the 

 donkey to do this, but the quadruped gave the 

 biped a practical lesson.
