WORK AT CITY ISLAND.— The work on the hull of the Elma 

 is completed, and she will be ready for launching this week. The 

 iron fin put on last year at Wilmington has been removed and 

 all the keel and garboards cut away in the middle of the yacht; 

 inen a new keel was put in, deepening her section 2ft. New 

 ngle-iron floors were bent and put in beside the old ones, which 

 •ere left in place; the garboards are entirely new. The ballast 

 ;,as been melted into the new trough keel in part, the remainder 

 being stowed in blocks; but the center of gravity of the lead is 

 tonsiderably lower. The mast partners for the two masts are in 

 and the new chain plates are in place. A cockpit has been added 

 on the deck and the interior is being refitted. The spars are 

 ready to step, the old mast and bowsprit, as well as the boom and 

 gaff, being used again, with a new mainmast. The hull above 

 water will remain unchanged save in the rig. The schooner 

 Atalanta is also on the ways for general repairs, including a new 

 stem and refastening. The new Auchincloss yacht is now plated 

 up and the planksheer in place. Mr. Piepgrass has every reason 

 to be proud of her, as she is the best job of steel or iron work yet 

 turned out in an American yard.

QUAKER CITY Y. C.-This club has prepared a full pro- 

 gramme of races for the season, as follows: May 30, opening 

 cruise and opening of club house; June 18, annual regatta over 

 club course, from Gloucester to Marcus Hook and return; June 30 

 Trenton cruise, up the Delaware River as far as practicable, re- 

 turning on July 1 or 2; July 4, Corinthian regatta; July 21, club 

 day, match and moonlight, sail; Aug. 25 to Sept. 8, annual cruise, 

 trom Philadelphia by Delaware River and Delaware and Raritan 

 Canal to New York, thence through the Sound to New London, 

 returning by outside route if the weather is favorable. The sea- 

 son will end with a cruise and review on Sept. 29. 



MONTGOMERY SAILING CLUB.-Norristown, Pa., May 14.- 

 The fourth cruise was attempted yesterday, but owing to very 

 light winds none of the boats finished inside the time limit of 2h 

 30m. Eleven boats started but only 5 rounded the buoy at Indian 

 Creek. The skiff Gracie started at 1:30:40 and rounded the mark 

 at 3:12, followed half an hour later by the canoe Sadie, which was 

 closely followed by two tuckups and the hiker Pennsylvania, the 

 latter carrying 40yds. of sail. The Gracie was half a mile from 

 the finish when the time limit expired. Judge, Wm. Alcorn 



CYTH ERA.— Nothing has been heard of Cythera, and the belief 

 is becoming general that she was in collision on the first night of 

 the blizzard, March 12. On Sunday the steamer Finance arrived 

 at New York with the captain and crew of the schooner Alice 

 Montgomery, which foundered on the night of March 12. They 

 were rescued by the bark Guy C. Goss, from Philadelphia for 

 Japan, and landed at Pernambuco, coming from there in the 

 Finance. It is, of course, possible that the Cythera's crew may 

 have been taken off by a vessel bound for some distant port. 



YACHT GUNS— The Strong Fire Arms Co. have this season 

 added to their list two new guns especially designed for small 

 yachts. The larger of these is loin, long with bore, for No. 8 

 shell, and is mounted for a rail 7in. high. The smaller size is but 

 lOin. long, of bronze, the bore being * l j 8 in., for No. 16 shell, while 

 it is mounted to clear a oin. rail. It is intended especially for 

 steam launches and very small yachts. Another novelty is a'lOin. 

 bronze gun on an iron carriage with wheels, taking a 12-gauge 

 brass or paper shell. 



v j.iic-v-'um. a- ui wo, twiu. uuiiL ai. uiuzean oy wm. r ite, Jr., in J 

 being brought to Boston by steamer. Her 20 ton lead keel was 

 cast by Lawley after she arrived at Boston. She was ordered be- 

 fore Puritan was thought of; but by the time she was ready Mt 

 Forbes was so much interested in that yacht that he never used 

 the Scotch boat. She is a deep but moderately wide cutter, 45ft. 

 l.w.l. and 10ft. beam. 



NEW YORK Y. C— The report that the N. Y. Y. C. has in view 

 the purchase of land on City Island for an anchorage and coaling 

 station, has been current again of late, but no official steps have 

 been taken. The report that the club had appropriated $3,000 for 

 a fall regatta, was incorrect, no money being voted. 



A NEW YACHTING SONG.-Wm. A. Pond & Co., New York, 

 have lately published a very spirited yachting song, both words 

 and music, being by Mr. Gilbert H. Wilson, the maker of Volun- 

 teer's sails. The subject of the song is the first race between 

 Volunteer and Thistle. 



R AMBLER, schooner, has been sold at private sale by E. I. 

 Chapman to J. M. Reed, British Consul at Aspinwall, for $5,760, 

 She will hail from Aspinwall in the future. Rambler was offered 

 at auction two weeks ago, but failed to bring the upset price, 



"SEGEL ALMANACK."- We have received a copy of the 

 Segel Almanach, the German yacht list, for 1888, published by the 

 Wassemport. it contains a full list of yachts, with sailing rules 

 and other useful tables. 



. MARGUERITE, schr., which was found to leak badly in launch- 

 ing, has been on Lawley's ways for repairs. The leaks were due 

 to bad rivetting about the iron trunk. 



BRUNHILDE.— A catboat with this name was launched lately 

 by Walhn & Gorman, Bay Ridge, for Com. C. T. Willis, Colum- 

 bia Y. C. She is 32ft. long over all. 



PAPPOOSE.— The new owner of Pappoose, Mr. John Simpkins, 

 has engaged Capt. Nat. B. Watson, who was in charge of Huron 

 under the late Mr. Grav. 



OENONE. — This name has been given to Col. Cochrane's 

 schooner, now building. Capt. Ferrin, of the Latona, schooner, 

 will be in command.

 Haven on May 9, bound for the St. Lawrence River and the 

 Lakes.

 hauled below.
