But we are far from believing that Julia is in her proper form, and 

 deem it (inite likely that with inor- iuiimate acquaintance and fur- 

 ther experience she will sh.iw more eiedilably than now with Grade 

 or Fauuy. but then r.ni bono? are not clumsy rij<a and fiat-floored 

 craft Koinir out of favor* If Julia, as a keel schooner, was slow, she 

 was at least reasonably rigged ami a stauncher vessel than with tho 

 spars of a North Hiver lighter and straiuint' fiu in the middle, ami 

 now that she is equally as slow as a sloop, shall she be "altered 

 back back" to a two-sticker, or a cutter built in ber stead? That is 

 the question now afritatinc a certain circle, and we tiusi the decision 

 -will be for a brand uew fiver of the deep h-l parsnasjoll. After all,

 cause is easily traced to the want of familiarity with the needs of 

 such craft, always displayed by talent warped with light draft 

 theories. Albatross, Mr. K. W. Humphreys, was swinging to her 

 anchor wilh the rest, much improved hi pose and grace since her 

 alterations, a fairlv handsome, wholesotneslooking ship, and one 

 quite likely to develop more speed in the futuru. As it is she cannot 

 be beaten 'for the manner of her keep. She looks smart, taunt and

 this couple, the new schooner gave evidence of being about the fast-

 hand at tbe wheel and the racing crew of "sharps" shipped for the 

 occasion, while many other schooners were sailed by their owners or

 their brass linUnns. but t'<o often easily mistaken fornlght watchmen,
