ANOTHEn Favoked Hunnso Biple, — I see in your issue of the 

 l4tb i'lit -II article on the above subject. I notice also that this 

 is tl. 'i' on the aforesaid theme, the tii-st being a plea 



fori. .. I, and the last a plea for the Kennedy. Now, 



thoiiyh 1 ilo iioi iu\or this special pleading for certain arms, I pre- 

 sume I am not out of order when I add a few words under the 

 same caption. The antb.or of the second of these articles, "Otto,"

 front. The Kennedy and tho Burgess are closely modelled after 

 the Winchester ; the Kennedy to the extent of adopting its ciut- 

 ridges. And if " the fact that it has been a long time upon the 

 market, well known and introduced," does not make it a superior 

 weapon over all others that may come after, theso facts do not 

 prove it to be inferior.

Had the Fwld baaed tho comparisu: 



ments, the faUure oj the ..Uilhracile ^

juslifiiible. The exiieriiiieuts at the Bro...]

ly competent Board of Naval Euginetrs and . . 



in preference to the unsupported and doubili,; . ,...1.1.,. 



nisbed bv patentees desuing to dispose of then IrancL 



moreover question whether the Anthracite really did 11 



voyage across and back on about twenty-two tons, and ha 



to believe that, could the truth be got at, the actual tigur 



bely the statements industriously put forth by one Dent, a neto- 



rions blockade runner, the reliability of whose .statements the 



pubhc may well doubt in view of the deception attemiited by birn 



and others while in this city, seeking to sell out to iiome en- 



thufliastic and pleth...ric •' Yanliee." The following fiiiures we tako 



from the f.ondon Field, substituting for the Anthracite's mythical 



l..Slbs., the actual consumption of 2.71b3. obtained at the Brooklya 



Navy Yard experiments : 



Consumption Weiglit of Engine 



per H. P. per hour Engine and Boiler Snaoe

BuUdog 1.7 '• 9^" 10 " 



Marchosa.. 1.3" 34 ".........20 " 



Design by Kemp... 1.6 " 40 " 19 " 



From this table it will be seen that the consumption of tho An- 

 thracite is far in excess of that of other yachts. Even at the Per- 

 kins figure of l.Slbs., the boasted economy of their system is a 

 falsehood pure and simple. The marchesa and Sir Dixon Kemp's 

 new design are yachts of several times the tonnage, displacement 

 and horse-power of the Anthi-acite, yet the weight of their motive 

 power is only shghtly in excess and theroom occupiedin a fore-and- 

 aft direction actually less ! Economy of space and weight were 

 some other of the claims loudly put forth by Mr. or " Major" 

 Deane and Ha satellites, with what amount of truth can lie seen 

 from the above. The speed of the AntJiracite is set down as 10,'.<i' 

 knots with a half speed of 8, This is another clear case of ro- 

 mancing. The highest this yacht could develop in .\merioau 

 waters was between seven and eight knots, her easy steaming being 

 six or less, which she took good care never to cx'cede for fear of 

 rattling the engines into a scrap heap and owing to the impossibil- 

 ity of keeping the steam gauge within a margin of a hundred 

 pounds. 



Tlie more the facts brought to light, the more grotesque do the 

 claims of the Perkins Engine Co. become, and the more discredit- 

 able the scheme they cherished of inveigling American capital. 

 Why this journal an-ayed itself in opposition to the generality of 

 the press, and refused to countenance what we took to be humbug 

 from the very start, will now ajipear plain and justifiable enough. 

 In spite of the noise made over the visit of the Anthracite, not a 

 single order for a Perkms boiler has been booked on American 

 account, nor is there any likehhood of any one being cauglit in the 

 net spread by a verdant " Major" who refused a test of economy 

 with another yacht's boder "ba -.use she was of different typo in 

 huU." Had a similarly clumsy attempt been made to mislead tho 

 Xiublic in England, tho Field, Idve ourselves, would have thought it 

 a duty to use some strong language. 



SHARPIES AS CRflSEBS. 



Edilnr Forest, and Stream : 



Some forty years ago the oystermen about New Haven and ainnc 

 the Connecticut shore were in the habit of canying on then' busi- 

 ness with the aid of canoes cut from a single log. These canoes, 

 many of which were very large, answered tolerablv hcU, as they 

 were easily propeUed and carried a good load. 



So the oystermen paddled on nntd the supply of big ti'ees began 

 to f aU. This bothered the dredgers, and bid fan to seriously in- 

 terfere with then- trade, when about that time along came a 

 "Down-East" genius to the rescue. He set up a stem and a stern, 

 with one temporary section amidsliips to shape his craft, sprunK 

 around two long planks to form the sides, and spiked his bolton* 

 athwartsbip. 



Thus was the Sharpie born, and so, with sUght improvement and 

 the addition of a pah of leg-of-mutton sails, has she lieen fashioned 

 until about two years shice. It had often been noticed that while 

 the Sharpie, as a ruie, displayed only medium saiUng ciualities, an 

 occasional boat of this model aBtonished her builder with a won- 

 derful burst of speed. Some of theso boats, loss than .50 ft, in 

 length, have recorded a rate of over fifteen mUes per hour. The 

 Sharpie astonished the fogies in another direction. She proved 

 to bo au exceptionally fine sea boat, and yet did luost of her sail- 

 ing on top of the water. This of couree is a touc;h nut for the e.-i- 

 treuiely deep section men to craek, but oraek it 11, ev mnet. 



Proof of all this can 1.0 fiunished from boatiiit,- men who havo
