MBASUKEMBN'i'.— We are In receipt of an alarming array of 

 letters concerning measurement. A number have been published 

 already , Several more appear this week, and others will be printed 



in our next Issue. A great many, however, must remain unpublished, 

 as they are in the main repetitions or variations of ideas brought 

 foi ward by others. While we appreciate the ready answers from 

 every one, we must ask these whose letters do not appear to bear 

 with the apparent wan i ot consideration, a., -pace is so limited, and 

 answers to their communications can be gathered Irom the remarks 

 appended in review of those published. 



MEASUREMENT.— ft would seem as though this subject had been 

 worn threadbare ; not so, however, it should be kept continually 

 hetore the yachtsman's eyes, until soineplsn m measurement shall 

 be adopted and framed In a common-sehse form. We refer our read- 

 ers to some of that kind of talk from the indomitable tighter, Kun- 

 liardl, ol I'okcst ami stream. He says: 



" We must no! seek me isuremcnt rules to tax > what gives speed ' 

 In the result or finished boat, but ' what gives speed' before the shape 

 and elements tf the boat, have been determined upon ; and this is 

 the amount of bulk given the builder to handle, thereby leaving him 

 a free choice In every respect, as to dimensions, local ion of bulk, and 



Hue am hi 1 a : , la can -, 0, i - 1; , he a- ' - .'..->- r. ■'■ 



Uness, etc. Only in this way Is an absolutely logical comparison of 



result- possible." 



He gives us the whole thing in a untshell. The genius of the 

 draughtsman who has spent, years of toll In scientific research, 

 whose lines and figures " do not, lie," It faithfully carried out, is eter- 

 nally crippled by false Ideas and rules of time allowance and meas- 

 urement. Give two men a pound of putty apiece, and let each mold 

 his boat to suit himself, no matter now iota.', wide or deep their de- 

 signs may be. "Either extreme" will then be found faulty.— Phila- 

 delphia Echo. 



NO DANGER.— It Is an axiom with practical designers that a 

 really good boa i, can carry the tax on her bulk much sooner than 



risk her qualifies hi; seeking to evade : spei pay) tent, Theeffect 



of a bulk rule Is to prevent an excess tn the use thereof— there Is 

 such a thing as having too much bulk even In a cruiser for her good— 

 on the one hand, and on the other offers no inducement to cut down 

 below the best allotment, for then the i oat loses faster In qualities 

 than the saving in tax would make up. We have designed many 

 boats of all types and know this to be true, for we would never ven- 

 ture to spoil an effective design for the sake of a trivial saving In 

 tonnage. Under a bulk rule the best racer is also the best cruiser. 



A success in the first respect implies a right proportioning of bulk— 

 neither too much nor too little— a nd such a boat, is likewise the most 

 pn feralile as a cruiser. She does not lose her qualities by being too 

 bulky, nor does she fall short by not, being bulky enough. 



NEW YORK YACHT CLUB.— At a meeting last Thursday the 

 report of the. America Cup races was received and adopted. Resolu- 

 tions of thanks were returned to the own 61 s of the Mischief and 

 Grade. Commodore Kane offered the following resolutions, which 



wet'"- passed :
