LAKE ONTARIO. 



BELLEVILLE, Ont., Juno 28.— In contrast with the prevalent 

 dullness in yachting circles here, I note with pleasure the 

 active spirit which prevails in the new clubs at. Hamilton and 

 Montreal and the Toronto and Rochester* clubs. At Hamilton 

 and Toronto a great impetus has been given to the whole sport by 

 the holding of a regular series of matches, chiefly for the smaller 

 yachts, with an occasional chance offered for the larger ones. 

 This is a long stride in the right direction. It is in the small er 

 classes that yachtsmen are made, and their competitions are as 

 interesting to the initiated a3 those of the larger ones, or even 

 more so, because more depends upon their skillful handling in 

 heavy or tricky winds. The grand results of these races will be 

 apparent within a very few years. At Montreal, owing to circum- 

 stances, there are no large yachts, nothing bigger than the third- 

 class Black Eagle, but the' racing has been keen, and onr old 

 friend, the Minnie A., has carried off the honors in ail except the 

 last race, wherein she was beaten by a few seconds by a still smaller 

 craft 



The local dub has added a few new members and presents a 

 good programme for the coming circuit rega tta. Our representa- 

 tives will be in good fighting trim: the Atalanta with a new suit 

 and the Iolanthe perfectly found in all respects. The Norah will 

 also don a new suit, but whether or no she will race 1 am not in- 

 formed. She will, however, be ready to defend the Fisher cup, 

 emblematic of the sloop championship of the lakes; as to which it 

 is in the air that challenges from Atalanta and White Wings are 

 among the probabilities. 



The owners of the Merle, of Oswego, and of the iolanthe are or 

 have been in correspondence as to a race on the lake, for which 

 the former, owing to the greater power of their boat, have a, strong 

 preference over racing i u the bay. Why not a series of three— one 

 on the lake, one on the bay and toss up for the third ? 



Mr. E, B. Burrell has added to the boat fleet a cabin sloop, which 

 he purchased in Gananoque. She is of about 33ft. waterline: was 

 called the Tornado and has been renamed Argo. Her record as a 

 ra^ei" has yet to be made. 



Mr. W, P. Clarke lately .launched a scow 24x8.3, which be has 

 rigged as a schooner, and which holds well with other craft of her 

 length Port Tack. 



NON-SINK ABLE YACHTS.- Editor ForeM avd Stream: It 

 strikes me that your correspondents are a trifle hard on "Captain 

 Norton's system," for, while it is quite apparent that his boat is 

 likely to do Just what he says she will not do, and not do what he 

 says she will, at the same time it would seem that somebody 

 should give friend Norton a little credit for at least trying to pro- 

 duce something that our yacht-designing "scientists" in and out 

 of your columns have for years been more or less ingenuously 

 stating they desire, namely, a fast, perfectly safe cruising and 

 racing yacht. Surely the genuine "cutter man" can not honestly 

 condemn the efforts of Capt. Norton, for the reason that while 

 the latter attempts, though without success, to give us a safe boat, 

 those who advise us to trust ourselves at sea in a deep, heavy 

 craft, overloaded with lead, would send us to the bottom without 

 shrift in case of collision or a bad leak sprung. It is all very well 

 to quote Sophia, Mystery and the rest as warnings against capsiza- 

 ble boats, but, supposing none of them had sunk when thev cap- 

 sized wotild not their occupants have had a better chance, for 

 their lives? And this brings me directly to the statement I have 

 more than once made in your columns, and can at anv time 

 practically prove that a safe, seaworthy yacht may easily be 

 built, which will not capsize, and, if she could be capsized,' can 

 not sink. There is nothing, also, to prevent her being verv fast, 

 inexpensive, to build, easier to manage than any lead-laden, over- 

 sparred "machine." Her stability will be due to her form, not to 

 any scientific method of excessive ballasting, and her unsinka- 

 bihty is gained by constructing her of light, tough wood, plenty 

 of it, with no snares or expensive delusions in the shape of air 

 tanks, bales of cork and other clumsy contrivances. The design- 

 ing of a sinkable yacht for safety appears much like setting fire 

 to one's house in order to save it from future risk of burning — 

 Thomas Clapham (Roslyn, L, I., June 29). 



VONKERS Y. C. ANNUAL REGATTA, JUNE 26,-In spite of 

 a good list of entries the regatta of the Yonkers V. C. on June 26 

 was robbed of all interest by the calm weather, with squalls and 

 rain thrown in, which prevailed all day. A special prize was 

 offered to bring out the best boats between 30 and 40ft, but only 

 two entered, the course being to Sing Sing and back, 30 miles. All 

 the others sailed to Tarry town and back, 23 miles, except Class H, 

 which sailed a 16-mile course. The greater part of the race was a 

 drift. The times were:

NEW CUTTER— Design No. 19 has been sent by C. P. Kun- 

 hardt to Mr. Curtis, of New York. These plans call for a cutter 

 43ft, long on deck, 30ft, waterline, 10ft. beam and Oft. d raft. Least 

 freeboard to top of pla.nksheer is 35in. The iron keel weigh*. 

 7,0001bs., total ballast about ll.OOOlbs. The boat has good dead- 

 rise, easy bilge and slight round to side, with the flare forward 

 induced by a clipper stem of 4tfc. rake. The after overha ng is of 

 the cutter style, now universally in vogue. The cutter has a flush 

 deck, with broad gangways 3ft. fiin. wide in wake of the skylight, 

 Below deck there is 5ft. 8ih. headroom over a floor 3ft. wide. Mast 

 27ft. deck to hounds; topmast 18ft. ahove cap; bowsprit 12ft. 

 beyond stem; boom 33ft.; gaff 24ft. Like all boats trom this 

 soui'ce, she will present a very handsome and stylish appearance 

 afloat.

KEEL VS. BOARD AT MARBLEHEAD.— In the Corinthian 

 V. C. regatta off Marblehead last Saturday, the new Burgess keel 

 cutter Saracen easily defeated the well-known centerboard crack 

 Atalanta, beating her to windward as well as off the wind. Sara- 

 cen is 29ft. 3in, l.w.l., 10ft, beam, and 6ft, Bin. draft: while Atalan- 

 ta is 27ft. 7in. l.w.l., lift, llin. beam, and 3ft. Bin. draft without 

 board. In the third class both Mosoa and Traitor beat the four 

 centerboard boats in their class. Mosca is a new boat, 18ft, 9in. 

 j.ml.i 7ft. 8in. beam, and 5ft. draft, 



THE STEAM LAUNCH DISASTER.— All the bodies have been 

 recovered from Newark Bay where the launch Olivette capsized, 

 six persons being drowned in all. The evidence at the inquest 

 shows that the boat was overcrowded, while there was no one on 

 board competent, to run or steer her, neither engineer nor steers- 

 man being licensed. The boat, was licensed to carry twelve, but 

 had twenty on board, with only three life preservers. The men, 

 with one or two exceptions, scrambled on the dyke and left the 

 girls to drown. 



CAPSIZED CENTERBOARD.— On July 3 the fast open boat 

 Thome, of Hoboken, capsized in the Hudson River, throwing 18 

 men into the water. Fortunately the flagship Richmond, of the 

 North Atlantic Squadron, was.anchored near by, and her boats 

 were quickly sent to the rescue, all hands being picked up.

AVinners: First, Killride: second, Kittoch: third, Fedora. The 

 weather looked so bad in morning that only four yachts of first 

 class and one of second turned out, and as the latter (the 17ft. 

 boat) consented to sail in first, class, there was no second class 

 race. However, as the wind was strong and steady, we had a very 

 pretty and exciting race and the best time yet. made around this 

 course by any at least of the three first boats named above.

STEAM LAUNCH WHEELS.— Editor Forest, and Stream: I 

 had a Whitehall rowboat 5ft. beam lengthened to 21ft. 3in., to 

 receive a 2 horse power Shipman engine working a 16in., 3-flanged 

 wheel, The launch now draws about 18in. light, and when all is 

 favorable makes about ti)4 miles an hour. Steam is kept at HOlbs., 

 but I do not have power enough to get the best speed out of It- 

 Short spurts show (until the steam goes down) that Yz to •% miles 

 more per hour can be made by revolving the wheel faster. As I 

 am already using J4gal. kerosene per mile, and as the boiler is a 

 fixture, no more power can be looked for in that direction, and it 

 occurred to me to ask through your columns of those familiar 

 with such problems, if replacing the present with a 16in. 2-flange 

 wheel would not solve it, I see it frequently stated, that by reason 

 of reaching unused water at each revolution the 3-flanged wheel 

 is as effective as the 3-flanged wheel. It follows of course in this 

 case that less power is necessary, and this excess can be appiied 

 just where I want, it, in revolving the wheel faster.— C. C. Pettit 

 (Galveston, June 151.
