 owners, who will presumably refuse any longer to tie bound by 

 Ihe sandgirt horizon of the raging Sound, and will boldly put to 

 sea upon occasion to test their digestive orgaus with the noji- 

 cftataiiec of old time Vikings. The Polynia, though not. striotly 

 speaking a seagoing yacht, neverthclCHS possesses iu her model 

 all the qualifies necessary to the coaster, and this wasall that, was 

 had in view by her owner and designer. Iu these respects 6he is 

 a long way ahead of the boht drafts with liariug bodies anil man- 

 sard houses which the old school seem so loath to abaudou 

 for the abler, deep draft. Hush deck style, Tho Polynia, how- 

 over, has much in her design which is novel on this side of 

 tha Atlantic, and, we had utmost said, therefore all the more coin- 

 mendablo. Looking at her sheer plau— drawn by Mr. Stantqn 

 himself, by the way— we iind the new steamer very English in ap- 

 pearance. The sheer Is moderate, a successful and stylish mean 

 between the homely, useless hollow scoop we have so long been 

 nfllieted with in America, and the orthodox, rigid, straight of Eu- 

 ropean fashion. In this respect Polynia leaves Mule to be de- 

 sired. The clumsy watermelon or " wash-bowl " stern of the loyal 

 American patriot has been displaced by tho roomier, lighter and 

 more thoroughbred "cutter stern," and forward tho cutwater 

 is finished with a " head," und not merged into a top-heavy non- 

 descript of enormous proportions, similar to the arrangement 

 which dlnllgurcs the Meuf, tho ouly use ot which seems lobe the 

 space afforded some water-iront artist io work oil bis supera- 

 bundance ol questionable tast .• iu vulgar-looking scroll-work. 

 Forward and an the Polynia has good hel«ht of bulwarks and 

 amidships along the "break" in the deck she is to have a netting. 

 Tho rig will tie bl' tliu style extensively adopted abroad, a thice-

 they can be spaced independently of uuy obstructions below. In

 we like to see, a very easy bilge carried well up anil down und a 

 moderate rouud to the top side. Forward she Is sharp, with little 

 or no Mare, except thai caused by the ruko of the stem at the ex- 

 ttcinc taitl. Her body lias been tapered away, aud a wholesome 

 midship section run out iuto lino lines in the bow Iu a very suc- 

 cessful maimer, as there is a total absence of hard places or Mid- 

 den twists, while the deck hue has not been pinched in the least 

 to accomplish this. The amount of hollow is just thu thing, more 

 would have been too much, Ichu would have been loo little, both 

 l'orspoed und beauty. The frames lift well aft, ulforditig a olean
