YOLANDE. 
Ww publish this week the lines and sail plan of the little Yolande, 
built in 1880, by Piepgrass, of Greenpoint, from the designs of 
her owner, M. Roosevelt Schuyler, Esq. After designing the Muriel 
in the previous year, for Mr. Charles Stillman, Mr. Scbuyler, one of 
the earliest and most enthusiastic advocates of the cutter, planned 
the Yolande for his own use. ; 
. The main object,sought was to obtain room for living on board in 
comfort, not merely room for an occasional night’s rest if caught out, 
but such quarters as a man could be at home in, and the division of 
space is not less ingenious than economical. The forecastle is so ar- 
ranged as to give room for a berth for a man, besides stove, lockers, 
ice box and room to cook. A bulkhead separates it from the owner’s 
stateroom which lies just abaft it and is 644ft. long and of the same 
width, with 5ft. 10in. under the skylight, there being, of course, no 
house, but a low skylight. : 
On the starboard side of the cabin is the berth, with stowage space 
below, and on the port side is a clothes locker, bureau and wash 
basin. The locker isso arranged that the lower portion opens into 
the stateroom and is used for clothes, and the upper portion opens 
into the cabin, making a china closet. The opening into the after 
eabin is closed by a curtain, and an ingeniously devised lamp is hung 
to the bulkhead so as to be turned into the cabin, or, if desired, swung 
forward over the berth in stateroom, making a reading light. 
In the cabin are two seats, making up into beds at night, while the 
space aft is divided into lockers for stores, lines, etc. Under the cock- 
pit, which is high above the water-line, is a drawer for linen and 
clothes. The ballast is nearly ali outside, thus giving up all the space 
inside tor accommodations. 
She is rigged, of course, as a cutter. While she has taken part suc- 
cessfully in a number of races. she has been used mostly for cruising.

“PODGERS” AND THE CUTTERS.—‘‘Cutter” would like to ask 
‘““Podgers”’ whether he wishes to repeat his statement made in his 
“Cruise Alongshore—IIL.” that the cutters kept together, that the 
southerly wind placed them miles to windward of the sloops, and 
whether passing sloops in the same stretch and under the same con- 
ditions means nothing. As to the relative amount of seamanship 
possessed by ‘‘Podgers” as compared with “Cutter,” it seems to 
‘Cutter’ immaterial. The only question is as to a statement of fact, 
and ‘‘Cutter’* proposed as arbitrators in this connection the owners 
or their representatives of the sloops sailing for the Goelet cup. 
“Cutter” repeats his assertion that the facts as presented by 
‘““Podgers’’ were inaccurate, and would ask how the three cutters 
could have kept together when they approached the Block Island 
buoy from different points of the compass. That ‘-Podgers”’? was 
there, ‘‘Cutter’’ is willing to admit, because he says so, but would 
never had believed it from his account of the race already referred to 
“Cutter has never been sufficiently wealthy to Possess a sa.ling 
master, but would be charmed to take ‘‘Podger;’’ for a sail in his 
small cutter if he dares risk his precious life in the type of craft for 
which he professes so much contempt.—CurTTER. 
A REVIVAL IN HAMILTON.—The series of yacht races on Bur: 
lington Bay, of which the fifth was sailed last Saturday, has given 
the sport a much needed boomin Hamilton, Interest in yachting 
has all along been manifested there, but it failed to take deep hold 
among those who were most able to indulge in it, Of late, however, 
there is a marked revival of the yachting spirit among gentlemen of 
means, and half a dozen fine boats are reported as probable additions 
to the Burlington Bay fleet next season. Mr. F. S. Mallock, who had 
a tidy 5-ton yawl built for this season, is reported to have given an 
order for a fine 40-ton cutter for next year. Itis said that Mr. H. W. 
Sewell will also be a yacht owner next season. Both boats are to be 
built by Thomas Dalton, who has turned out several fast ones, Sev 
eral Bast-end residents are also among the prospective yacht owners 
of Hamilton, and itis altogether probable that the Burlington Bay 
yachting fieet of next season will be such as would be a credit to any 
lake port.—_Toronto Globe, Sept. 12. 
THE LOSS OF THE YACHT MIGNONETTE.—The Mignonette, 33 
tons, left Southampton, Ing., for Australia, on May 19 last, and on 
June 11, when near the equator, was sunk in a heavy squall. Four of 
her erew, the captain, two seamen and a boy, took to the dinghy, with 
afew cans of provisions hurriedly gathered, but no water. After 
suffering terribly for twenty days, eight of them without any food at 
all, the captain opened a vein in the boy’s arm, and on his death all 
ate his fiesh, which kept them alive until their rescue by the German 
bark Montezuma, on July 5. Their boat had drifted 1,000 miles in the 
twenty-four days, On their arrival in England the captain was tried 
and found guilty of manslaughter, but has not yet been sentenced. 
REGATTA AT COLLINGWOOD, ONT.—The annual regatta was 
sailed on Sept. 12 in high wind over a course of 11 miles. The starters 
in the first class, for a purse of $100, included three schooners, Sur- 
prise, Mystery and Philadelphia, and a sloop, the Wideawake. The 
second class included the schooners Mary, Empress and Florence M, 
A start was made at 11 A. M. for first class and 11:30for second. Phil- 
adelphia was first in, but Mystery protested against her, claiming a 
foul at one of the buoys. The referee ordered the race resailed on 
thefollowing day. Mary wonin the second class. 
CLEVELAND Y. ©.—The annual fall regatta of the Cleveland Y. C. 
on Sept. 10 was spoiled by the weather, the wind being too light to 
make arace in six hours. The yachts entered were started at 11:16 
A.M. The times of starting were: Davis, 11:16:50; Daisy, 11:17; 
Lady Ida, 11:18:15; Rover, 11:18:50; Lulu, 11:19:50; Ida, 11:24:25. The 
course was sixteen miles, half of it to windward. The times of finish 
were: Dulu, 5:29:30; Daisy, 5:54:45; Ida, 6:18; Rover, 6:20. As the 
Lulu was a few minutes over the time, it has not been decided whether 
to call it a race or to order it resailed. 
A TINY STEAMER, brought across the Atlantic ina big one and 
towed through the St. Lawrence River and lakes, is finally to be car- 
ried by men 40 miles overland to Lake Pend d’Oreille, which is close 
to the northern boundary line of Idaho. She is owned by English- 
men who have bought a tract of land there.
