FOREST AND STREAM. 



[April 23, 1885. 



■ rl ),!~ s .? e , w steam yacht, built at Glenwood, L. I,, for Mr. F. P. Dudgeon, 

 is 6.tt. long, 15ft. beam, and 6ft. depth of hold, with a 12x12 engine 

 and screw of 57in. .. .Electra. steam yacht, is now at Manning's 

 Basin again, where she will fit out when the alterations in her engines 

 are completed. . . .Mumm's new railway on the north side of the At- 

 lantic Basin i is now in working order. The first yacht hauled out on 

 it was the Haze, schooner, now overhauling. . . .The steamers Viking. 

 Nourmahal, Utowana. Corsair, and Stranger are all fitting out. The 

 latter has a new four-bladed wheel Oft. diameter, and 2ft. 6in. pitch, 

 in place of her old one 8ft, Gin. diameter and 13ft. piteh... Athlon, 

 sloop, has her had stent fined down, and a sharp stemband added. 



THE OLD WANDERER. -The following interesting account of a 

 once famous yacht we copy from the New York Herald. Perhaps 

 some of our readers can give some additional facts concerning her: 

 The model of the once famous schooner Wanderer (not the modern 

 Wanderer), which was built in 1857 at Port Jefferson, I. I., bv J. Row- 

 land , after the design of Mr Thomas B. Hawkins, was presented to 

 the New York Y. C. yesterday. Fabulous stories concerning this old 

 craft's speed were circulated by the newspapers just before the war 

 broke out. and when she was seized for running slaves into Savan- 

 nah, Ga. She was originallv built for Mr. John C. Johnson, and sold 

 afterward to Colonel W. C. Currv, of Savannah. Ga., who was elected 

 a member of the New York Y. C. in May, 1858, being proposed by 

 John T. Stagg and seconded by Mr. Langley Bruce. As soon as it was 

 found that the Colonel was importing slaves under the flag of the 

 New York Y. C, he was promptly expelled from its membership, 

 which event is recorded in the club's annals of Feb. 5, 1859. After be- 

 ing condemned by the United States Government, the Wanderer was 

 used as a despatch boat in the Gulf with headquarters at Key West. 

 A Boston firm got her when she was sold, and sbe was put in the fruit 

 trade, but was wrecked near Cape Henry. Her model is quite flat 

 amidships, with its ends well balanced and having very little drag 

 line, but its bow is quite full on the luff, having short hollow lines 

 ending against a "flare-over" stem. The run is all that could be de- 

 sired in a yacht, and there is no doubt that the old time slaver was a 

 powerful craft, by reason, mainly, of her dimensions; but the geom- 

 etry of her model is crude when viewed in comparison with Ameri- 

 can clipper design. She was 114ft. long on deck. 24ft. wide, lOUft. 

 deep in the hold and 10ft. Sin. draft, and her model is indeed a valu- 

 able addition to the club's collection of historical clipper craft. 



HURON.— The new dimensions and elements of Mr. Gray's cutter 

 are as follows: Length over all 73.4ft.; length load waterline, 63ft. ; 

 beam load waterline. 15.2ft. ; beam extreme, lo.slft. ; draft, 9J^f t. ; free- 

 board, lowest point. 2.9ft. : area load waterline plane, 617 sq. ft.; area 

 midship section, 65ft.; center of gravity, load waterline plane 35 6ft. 

 abaft stem; center of buoyancy, 35.15ft. abaft stem; center of lateral 

 resistance, 36.29ft. abaft stem; center of effort, three lower sails, 

 3:1. 73ft. abaft stem; center of buoyancy, below waterline, 2.59ft.; cen- 

 ter of lateral resistance, load waterline. 4.22ft.; center of effort, three 

 lower sails, above waterline, 28.66ft.; metacenter, above center of 

 buoyancy, 3.67ft.; area of longitudinal section. 529. 15sq. ft.; area of 

 three lover sails, 3,524. 05=q. ft. of canvas; total area of wetted sur- 

 face, 1.323sq. fr. ; proportion of canvas to immersed surface. 2.66. The 

 length of the mast from deck to hounds will be 46ft.; boom. 59ft.; 

 gaff, 37ft.; bowsprit, 86Jgft. outboard;. Her lead keel weighs 25 tons, 

 and she nas also 5 tons inside. 



TORONTO SAILING SKIFF CLUB.-This new club, the organiza- 

 tion of which we noticed a short time since, is now firmly establi.-hed 

 and will soon be well housed. The membership has grown to sixty- 

 five in less than two months. The new building, to be completed by 

 May 1, is situated on York street near the R. C. Y. C. wharf, is 54ft. 

 long by 23ft. wide, with eight boathouses below and a meeting room 

 above, with a balcony on the west and south sides. Between the 

 yacht clubs, the Toronto 0. 0. and the new sailing club, water sports 

 should prosper well in Toronto. 



VIDA.— There was launched lately from the yard of Mr. S. M. Dins- 

 more, Cambridge. Mass , this small, single-hand cruiser, built, for Mr. 

 E. A. Abbott, of that city. She resembles somewhat the Mamie, de- 

 scribed some weeks ago. She is 23ft. 6in. on deck, 6ft. 4in. beam, 5ft. 

 depth and 4ft. draft, and on account of having all the ballast inside 

 will only have 3ft. lOin. head room. The house is 7ft. long, stauding 

 room 5tt. long, leaving 8ft. of deck forward of the mast and 3ft. 3in. 

 aft of the standing room. In the cabin transoms run fore and aft on 

 both sides, making room for two to sleep with the greatest ease, and 

 room for four very comfortably. She is cutter rigged with double 

 headsail, but with standing bowsprit and topmast; mainsail hoist 

 12ft., boom 19ft,, gaff 12ft,, staysail foot lift., jib foot, 16ft,, bow- 

 sprit outboard 10ft., topmast 10ft. The lines and a complete descrip- 

 tion will be published after the boat has been tried. 



CLEVELAND Y. R. A.— Editor Forest and Stream: At the annual 

 meeting of the Cleveland Y A., held at the club rooms April 4. the 

 following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Commodore, 

 Geo. W. Gardner; Vice-Commodore, R. R. Rhodes; Rear-Commo- 

 dore, Percy W. Rice; Secretary, J. G. Downie; Treasurer, W. P. 

 Francis; Measurer. H, Gerlach; Surveyors, C. C. Goodwin and Frank 

 W. Brewster; Executive Committee, R. E. Mix, chairman, C. C. 

 Goodwin, H. C. Rettyer. W. S. Robinson, J. S. Williams. The Asso- 

 ciation is in good condition and pushing the preparations for the 

 summer meet at Ballast Island rapidlv. From correspandence already 

 in, it bids fair to be the largest meet "ever held on fresh waters.— J. G. 

 Downie, Secretary. 



A NEW STEAM YACHT.— Messrs. Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia, 

 builders of the Corsair, Stranger and Atalanta, are now building a 

 steam yacht in stock. Her length over all is IGOf i„ beam 22ft., depth 

 of hold 12ft. 6in . draft over 8ft. The hull will be of iron, schooner 

 rigged, and her engines will be on the triple expansion principle and 

 the boilers will be of steel carrying 160 pounds per inch , It is expected 

 to realize a high rate of speed. 



QU1N0Y Y. C. ELECTION OF OFFICERS.-At the annual meet- 

 ing of the Quincy Y. O, the following officers were elected: Com- 

 modore, U. F. Adams; Vice-Commodore, H. H. Sheen; Secretary 

 and Treasurer, H. M. Faxon; Fleet Captain, George A. Ordway; 

 Measurer. A. B. Lelois; Regatta Committee, H. A. Keith, J. H. Slade, 

 C. H. Porter and A. D. Perry. 



SLOOP FOR SALE.— We call the attention of our readers to the 

 light draft sloop advertised for sale in another column. She has 

 been fitted and used for cruising, and is a handy little boat for a 

 party of four in shoal water, as her draft is but 2)^ft. She is com- 

 fortably fitted below with cabin furniture and cooking outfit and can 

 soon be put in commission. 



NEW CRUISING CUTTER,— A little cutter is now building at Mil- 

 lerton. New Brunswick, of the following dimensions: Length on 

 deck, 27ft.; waterline, 32ft.; beam, extreme 7ft., at waterline 6ft. 8in.; 

 least freeboard, 2ft.; draft, 4ft. 6in.; ballast on keel, 4,300 pounds of 

 lead; displacement, 11,000 pounds. She will be cutter rigged with 

 pole mast. 



HUBBE'S YACHT AGENCY.— We have received a neat pamphlet 

 containing a list of vessels and yachts for sale at Hubbe's Agency, 

 164 Maiden lane, New York. The opening pages contain an account 

 of the America's race in England, with the later races sailed for the 

 Cup, which is of course of special interest at the present time. 



MADGE.— Mr. Sheldon, the new owner of Madge, has removed the 

 cockpit and laid a new flush deck. The interior has been torn out 

 and will be rebuilt so as to give a stateroom 8f c. long abaft the cabin. 

 The yacht will be thoroughly overhauled and put in commission. 



OCEANICA Y. C— Commodore Lynch and two other members of 

 the club are now building a boat 16ft. beam and 3ft. draft, with a 

 deep rocker keel. She will be ready next month.

 favorable circumstances how rapidly would they multiply? Ans. 1. 

 We do no' know. Try Reiche Bros.. Chatham street, City. 2. We pre- 

 sume so, though it is a little north of their usual range on the Atlan- 

 tic coast. 3. No. They would require only to be fed. 4. Very rapidly. 



Setter, Baltimore.— Will you please decide the following: A young 

 setter was being exercised, bad never seen game in field, when he 

 came upon a woodcock; and though he detected the scent, he hunted 

 it right up to the bird and flushed it. the bird flying only Ave or sis: 

 yards. When he flushed he was told to "to-ho", which he did. making 

 a staunch point around to the left where the bird went down, though 

 he could not smell him, as the wind was from him to bird. After a 

 short time he was told to hold up, which he did. The question is, 

 should not the bird have been flushed while he held his point? or 

 should he have been told to hold up, as he was not pointing by scent, 

 or sight, as the bird went down a bank. If the above is wrong will it 

 tend to injure the dog? Ans. Many dogs will not point their first 

 woodcock, seemingly having no liking for the scent: this is especially 

 the case at this season of the year. We should advise that your dog 

 be kept away from game until the proper season. Should he then 

 refuse to point woodcock, perhaps one or two killed over him will 

 show him that they are proper game, and he will come out all right. 

 If he flushes his bird bid him "to-ho" and talk to him about the 

 offense, then take him round and give him the wind of the bird, and 

 as soon as he shows that he has the scent, order him to "to-ho," and 

 perhaps this wdl be sufficient.
