 ing- at once, without any Cleaning or chipping. 



At the outset of the undertaking much doubt was expressed by ex- 

 perts as- to the quality of the inetaltobemsde.lt being-estimated 



that at least 25 per cent, would be rejected, the specifications requir- 

 ing a tensde strength of 60,000 pounds per square inch, and not less 

 than S3 percent, elongation m Sin. Out of 38 consecutive heats made. 

 howevei . oue only failed to meet the above specifications. 



An entirely new method of manufacturing steel plates has lately 

 been brought forward by the inventor, Mr. Joseph Whitely, of Leeds, 

 England, who is now experimenting with the process. 



A hollow iron cylinder lined with fire brick is mounted on a hori- 

 zontal axis on which it revolves. A pipe perforated with holes con- 

 ducts the molten steel to the inside of the cylinder, on which it falls, 

 and is distributed in on even thickness by centrifugal force. When 

 sufficiently thick this inner cylinder is drawn out, slit on a circular 

 saw. flattened and rolled to the required thickness. 



If a plate is required for shipbuilding;, a mold would be used, for 

 instance, oft. diameter and 6ft. long, in which a cylinder tin. thick is 

 east, making, when cut and Battened, a plate 5ft.xlSx1in, thick, which 

 by successive rollings is reduced to J$o. thick, growing to 30ft. 

 lengths, the breadth being about the same. A mold has been used 

 Oft. long am! 5ft. diameter, containing a plate of 30cwt. It is claimed 

 for these plates that there is no risk of overheating or burning, the 

 metal is homogeneous and of much greater strength. The process is 

 also applicable to the manufacture of boiler tubes.

ALTHOUGH all the boats enrolled in the club are considered as 

 being entered for the pennant matches of each spring and fall, 

 but thirteen appeared at the starting line on Saturday, June 7, for 

 the first match of the season. Besides the attractions of the races, 

 the occasion was, in a way, a housewariuing in honor of the club's 

 new and enlarged quarters, and a number of visitors, besides the 

 club members were present. 



In addition to the pennants, special prizes were offered by Com- 

 modore Monroe, of $50 to the winning yacht in any class having four 

 or'ruore starters, but this inducement failed to secure full entries, as 

 but one class, the smaller open boats, mustered over three starters, 

 while but one other class had more than two. as given below:

Fairy F. E. Towle 



Cruiser- A. B. Alley. ... - 20.10 



Nymph F.W.Flint _ 21.11 



The Vivien was also entered in the fourth class, but did not start. 



The weather, which was all that the visitors and spectators could 

 desire, did not promise as well for the yachtsmen, though at 11 

 o'clock, when the judges. Messrs. W. H. Jenkins, R. B. Rathbone and 

 W. C. Stewart, started out in a little steam launch, there was a light 

 breeze from the southwest, the tide being half flood. 



The course for the first three classes was from Pagoda Point around 

 the buoy west of Execution Light, thence around Matinicock Buoy 

 and home past Captain's Island, where a markboat was moored. past- 

 Execution Light, and finishing at the starting point, a distance of 22 

 miles; while the two elas-esof open boats, after leaving Matinicock 

 Buoy, returned by the way of the black buoy off Constable's Point, 

 and Execution Light, making 17 miles. 



At 11:14 the first gun was fired, the signal to start following at 11:19 

 and the final gun at 11:24. at which time all but Dream and Schemer 

 were away, these being handicapped to the extent of 2m, 20s. each. 

 The order and times of starting were: 



Fairy 11 22 33 Cheemaun 11 25 20 



Aneto 1122 34 Eclipse 1125 31 



Gannet 11 22 48 Willis 11 25 33 



Cruiser 11 22 54 Athlon n 25 58 



Zoe 1123 55 Cream 1126 20 



Nymph 11 24 00 Schemer 11 86 20 



Varuna 11 25 05 



On the beat out to Execution Light, Fairy held the lead for some 

 distance, with Cruiser, Zoe. Eclipse and Athlon in the order named, 

 until when near the buoy, Cruiser went to windward of he'-, holding 

 her place, however, but tor a few minutes, as big Eclipse soon passed 

 her, rounding first at 12:17:00, the others following with Cruiser at 

 12:17:40, Zoe 12:18:18, Athlon 12:18:40, Fairy 12:19.02, Cheemaun 12: 

 19:40. 



By this time the wind had fallen so that the other boats dropped 

 out except the Varuna, but after a time it breezed up again, and all 

 were off for Matinicock bury, Athlon being first to set her spinnaker, 

 followed by Eclipse, while the little fellows had to content themselves 

 with jibs boomed out. Eclipse was first around at 1:24:20, Athlon 20 

 seconds later, and Cheemaun. sailing alone, as there was no competi- 

 tor in her class, followed at 1:28:20. Cruiser still led the small ones 

 at 1:30:32, with Zoe at 1 :31:00 and Fairy in the rear at 1:31:40. 



Here they parted company;with the big ones, making for Constable's 

 Point buoy, and rounding as follows: Cheemaun s:25:20, Zoe 2:29:00. 

 Fairy 2:29:40, Cruiser 2:31:30. 



Meanwhile Athlon was doing her best down the wind with Eclipse. 

 and after the most exciting part of the day's sport, succeeded in 

 rounding the stake boat off Captain's Island, half a minute ahead of 

 Eclipse, aM:5tt;19, '1 lie beat to Execution was a very pretty sight, 

 the advantage to windward apparently being with Athlon, but: finally 

 she broke tacks and .stood well into Glen Cove, under the land, the 

 Eclipse passing Execution Light tin. 40s. ahead. 



The little fellows meanwhile had made a gooi fight of it, Cheemaun 

 rounding the buoy at Execution Light at 3:13:45, Fairy 8:18:56, and 

 Zoe 3:19:50. The run home was made with jibs to port on the open 

 boats and spinakers on the same side on the two sloops. Cheemaun 

 being first over the line, the times of the boats being:

A TELL-TALE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 

 In reading your paper I often see suggestions and inventions which 



here, or a flag to indicate the. direction of the wind, 'to be used on sail- 

 ing craft. You very kindly answered this inquiry, but not finding any- 



thing to suit me I have devised the following which I consider good 

 in every way, beiDg ornamental and sensitive to the wind, and not 

 liable to wrap around therod. 



I take a brass rod. A, and put on it a washer, G, and a movable cap, 

 B. I then take a piece of brass wire and bend it from C to D then 

 from C to E and I) to E and twist the two together from E to E; I 

 then wind each end around the rod A, so as to form bearings. It is 

 now ready for the bunting which is put over the frame CEDE, so 

 that the frame is entirely inclosed by the bunting, which is sewed in a 

 small seam at S S, also sewed together at the top and bottom. This 

 makes the best tell-tale I know of, for it is a vane and flag combined 

 — for the same height of rod can be longer flag, as the frame prevents 

 its hanging down low. J. P. O. 



NEWARK BAY Y. C. 



f pHE complete times of the races of this club on Decoration Day are 

 JL as fol'ows, all being sailed over the club course in Newark Bay, 

 a distance of twelve miles. There were twelve entries in four classes, 

 cabin sloops, jib and mainsail, cats over 19ft. and cats under 19ft., for 

 challenge pennants for each class, to be won three times before 

 becoming the property of the winner. The wind was puffy and very 

 uncertain, and the races were won more by luck than good sailing.

The club is bending every effort to make the open match of June 

 16 a success. There have been received to date about forty entries, 

 including the most of the crack small boats of this vicinity, with the 

 promise of many more. It is especially desired that cabin sloops 

 from 25 to 35ft. long be well represented', and all owners of boats of 

 this class may rest assured of having good treatment and of meeting 

 foemen worthy of their steel. There will be six classes, with a cash 

 prize of $20 for each class; $3 entry fee. This club was organized in 

 September, 18S2, with nineteen members, and now has eighty mem- 

 bers and twenty yachts. 



ATLANTIC Y. C. 



THE first of the three principal matches that each spring excite 

 the yachtsmen of New York, that of the Atlantic Y. C, sailed 

 on Tuesday last, derived its interest mainly from the fact that 

 some new boats were to be tried as well as several of the old 

 ones which have been rebuilt or materially altered during the winter. 

 The question of type, or of cutter vs. sloop hardly entered into races, 

 the yachts, with one exception, being centerboard boats. The race 

 may really be considered a-i the debut of Dr. Barron's new sloop 

 Athlon, as the previous occasions on which she has appeared have 

 hardly been fair tests of her merit, but after Tuesday he need not 

 be ashamed of the Wave's successor. Another boat in the same 

 class, whose performance was watched with some interest, was the 

 Thistle, an old boat, but lately rebuilt and new r in New York waters, 

 and that has promised on the few occasions that they have met, to 

 be a worthy antagonist of the Athlon. Grayling also has been changed 

 considerably since her disastrous first season, her spars and ironwork 

 having been greatly reduced. The boats in the smaller classes are 

 already pretty well known, the new one being Mr. Wintrmgham's 

 Nomad. 



The weather early in the morning promised a repetition of last 

 year's disappointment, with wind from the northeast and cloudy 

 sky at 10 A. M., when the tug Luckeuback, with the judges on board, 

 left Brooklyn for Bay Ridge, the steamer Columbia, with the mem- 

 bers and their friends, following shortly after. Off the Atlantic 

 Bnsin the yachts, mostly under mainsail, jib and topsail only, were 

 flying about waiting for the signal, while several steam yachts were 

 taking guests on board to witnes the race. 



The classes were as follows: Class A, schooners, 72ft. and over; 

 Class B, schooners, under 72ft. : Class C, cabin sloops. 55ft. and over; 

 Class D, cabin sloops, 43ft. and under 55ft. ; Class E, cabin sloops. 35ft 

 and under 43ft. ; Class F, cabin sloops. 30ft. and under 35ft. ; Class G, 

 cabin sloops, 26ft. and under 30ft. ; Class H, cabin sloops under 26ft. ; 

 Class I, open sloops; Class K, catboats. 



At 10:36:10 in answer to a signal from the Luckeuback, the first gun 

 was fired from the bluff, the understanding being that the second 

 gun was to go off three minutes later. Nearly all were well placed 

 above the starting line, toward which an ebb tide was carrying them 

 while the wind had shifted to S. W. with no iucrease of force. Three 

 minutes passed, all bore down on the line, Clytie ahead, but no gun 

 was fired. Clytie was obliged to cross, tack, and work back above the 

 hue. losing all the advantage she had. Finally three loud blasts from 

 the tug awoke the artillerist on shore, and at 10:52:50 the second guii 

 was fired, the Thistle crossing first at 10:55:35, Crusader second. Mis- 

 chief third, running up jibtopsail as she did so, the times being:

Just before the start an old gentleman pulled alongside the judge's 

 boat in a light gig and asked for a list of entries, after scanning 

 which be quietly pulled off toward the Narrows. 



The course for A, B, C and D was from the anchorage off the club 

 house, foot of Fifty-fifth street, South Brooklyn, down through the 

 Narrows, to and around a stakeboat near buoy No. 8, off Sandy Hook. 



passing to the west, of the same; thence to and around the Scotland 

 lightship, keeping the same on the port hand; thence to and around 

 Sandy Hook lieluship, keeping it on the port hand, and thence home, 

 going to the southward and westward of the beacon on Komer shoal. 



For class E the same course. In ami around stakeboat near buoy 

 No. 8; thence lo and around Scotland lightship, keeping it on the 

 port hand, and thence home. 



For classes F and G the same course, to and around stakeboat near 

 buoy No. 8, keeping the same on the port hand, and them:-- 



Classes II. 1 and K had no starters. 



The following prizes were offered: A first prize to (he winning 

 yacht in each class, in which at least two yachts shall enter and 

 a second prize in each class, in which at least four yachts shall enter 

 and start; and a third prize In each class, in which at least seven 

 yachts shall enter and start. 



The "Livingston Memorial" prize to be awarded to the first sloop 

 of Class D m at home stakeboat, without time allowance, to be held 

 on the conditions of its presentation. 



A noticeable feature of the arrangements was the size of the fig 

 urea on the mainsails of the competing yachts, which were really 

 large enough to be seen at a considerable distance, enabling the spec- 

 tators to place the boats throughout the race. 



The entries and allowances w'ere as follows:

The Amelia was entered in Class E, but withdrew, Una taking her

Most of the yachts crossed on port tack, the remainder going about 

 when well over, soon working short tacks through the Narrows with 

 a light S. W. wind. At 11 :40 Mischief was off Fort Tompkins, Fanny 

 astern inshore and Gracie by the Seawauhaka Basin, where she 

 had run in, losing wind and tide by so doing, the schooners working 

 down the Long Island shore, and once outside Crocodile ran ahead to 

 Coney Island Point. The order was Crocodile, Athlon, Fanita, 

 Romeyn, Mischief and Thistle, with Gracie at the tail of the proces- 

 sion, the remaining boats being scattered between her and Thistle. 

 Off Norton's Point, Fanita took the lead of Crocodile, who now gave 

 second place to Mischief. 



Here Fanita stood to the eastward, losing ground by so doing, 

 while Mischief, followed by the others, stood for Buoy No. 8, on port 

 tack, under a breeze that sent the water through her scuppers, and, 

 for the short time it lasted, made the prettiest sport of the day. 

 Down they came, showing half their sides to the watchers on the 

 judges' boat. Mischief first around, and off on starboard tack, Fanny 

 hurrying after, taking in jibtopsail as she came up, Fanita third, 

 content with gafftopsail only, and Crocouile laying down under main 

 sail and jib, having found her topsail too much for her. Thistle and 

 Athlon, the latter heeling well down, followed next, then the cata- 

 maran Jessie, not in the race, but traveling as though she was. while 

 close together came Grayling and Triton, followed by Romeyn, the 

 times being: 



Mischief 1 15 30 Triton 1 26 08

Thistle 1 21 28 Graoie 1 33 00 



Athlon 122 05 Crusader 134 55 



Grayling 1 25 50 



Short tacks followed, and then longer legs down the beach to Scot- 

 land Lightship, the tug running ahead, the Columbia in company with 

 her. 



While laying to awaiting the Mischief, a small boat pulled along- 

 side the tug and the oarsman asked for a drink of water, and on re- 

 ceiving it lay on his oars a short time to see the first boats, lhen 

 pulled off steadily toward the Sandy Hook lightship. He was at once 

 recognized as the gentleman who had asked for the programme of 

 the races at the starting point three hours before. His name is 

 Whiting, an ex-commodore of the Brooklyn Y. C , who still finds 

 pleasure on the water in rowing about. His boat was a light cedar, 

 half outrigged gig about 16ft. long, everything about her in perfect 

 order, painters flemished down, a watch compass and lamp fastened 

 to athwart within easy view. Late in the afternoon, when the tug 

 was well in toward the Hook, with a fog astern and some sea, the 

 little Ida was passed, making bravely for the Hook. 



Approaching the lightship earn e Mischief on port tack, Fanita and 

 Crocodile, the latter getting out spinnaker boom for a run borne from 

 this point, taking some tune, however to get her spinnaker set. Jessie 

 was also on hand in time to see Athlon lead Thistle around.

No others were timed, the tug hurrying after the leading boats. 

 now well to windward. Mischief and Fanita were now having a bout, 

 the latter having sot jibtopsail in the light wind. Mischief was first' 

 around the lightship at 3:04:0-1, coming up under the lee of the light- 

 ship, having lowered jibtopsail. As she passed, her spinnaker boom 

 was swung into place from forward, but on the port side, so that it 

 had to be shifted to starboard. 



Fanita, at this time well below the lightship, now stood up, also 

 dropping spinnaker boom to port, breaking out spinnaker at 3:08:30, 

 and in orderto avoid shifting it, keeping her main boom to starboard 

 to do which she had to keep down toward the beach, leaving Mischief 

 on a straight course up toward the bay. Grayling now came up to 

 show that there were schooners as well as sloops in the race, passing 

 third, while. Fanny took fourth place, with Athlon close on her 

 weather beam and Thistle following, after which there was a long 

 wait for the stragglers, led by Gracie, the Haze and Agues, with 

 several others havmg wandered off to the southward, and not com- 

 ing up in time to be noted.

The procession home was hidden iu a haze that came up, but there 

 was a fresh wind astern that hurried all up the bay. Among the rear 

 guard were Triton and Roainer, the latter with spinnaker like a 

 balloon pulling her along, and keeping very close to her larger rival 

 In the Narrows at 4:30 the sun broke through the clouds, showing 

 Mischief well ahead with Fanny, while astern were Athlon and Fanita 

 the latter doing all possible to hold a place with the big sloops. While 

 both were at their best, Athlon carried away the tack of her jibtop- 

 sail, the sad running up the stay, but a hand climbed up the stay 

 securing the sail and haulingitdown, soon after whichAthlon walked 

 through Fanita's lee. 



Gracie, meanwhile, was doing her best work of the day coming up 

 and passing Athlon. Of the schooners the Grayling had outrun the 

 fleet, being the first in, her performance throughout, the entire day 

 having proved the value of the improvements made in her. The time's
