small oak rail. The hatches and skylights are of mahogany, and 

 the hitts are of steel plate %in. thick. A powerful but compact 

 crank capstan is placed just forward of the mast, on the star- 

 board side is a circular forebatch, and to port a 10m. opening for 

 a ventilator over the galley. There is one skylight over the main 

 cabin, then the companion, and abaft that a second skylight over 

 the after cabin. Abaft the latter is a circular sail batch, also 

 used for a steering wel l. 



Des ending the maiu compnnionon the port side is a seat ,3ft. 

 long, back of which is a long closet for coats and wraps, with a 

 set of drawers beside it. On the starboard side is the w. c. and 

 toilet room, opening into il.c after cabin. The main cabin is a 

 large and handsomely titled room, 9ft. across. On each siile is a 

 wide sofa, the back swinging up to make a second berth. At the 

 fore end of each sofa is a cellaret locker and closet .above. The 

 after cabin has a fixed berth with a scat in front on each side. All 

 the joiner work below is in mahogany, but as light as possible. 

 The after stateroom is upholstered in li^ht colors, with rich cur- 

 tains to the berths and a handsome carpet. The main cabin has 

 cushions of a dark blue, above which are curtains of yellow silk, 

 sliding on brass rods and hiding the sides of the ship above th> 

 sofa backs, there beiug no ceiling. The swinging table gives room 

 for eight persons. Opening from the cabin on the port side is a 

 second toilet rqom, while on the starboard side is a door to the 

 galley and forecastle. 



A large icebox occupies the space opposite the toilet room, 

 while just forward of the latter is the galley, with a four-burner 

 gasoline stove, besides pantries, shelves, etc. A pump next the 

 icebox brings fresh water from a large tank beneath the cabin 

 floor. The chain locker is just forward of the mast. The fore 

 part of the forecastle contains four hammock beds, swung up by 

 day, besides table and lockers. The sail plan of Liris is the 

 largest of the class, the base line by New York rule being 95.65ft 

 and the perpendicular 69.65ft., giving an area of 3,603sq.ft., or 800 

 in excess of Tomahawk and Maraquita and 900 more than Mi- 

 nerva. The main shrouds are led to steel plate channels, the 

 chainplates being long and carried well down the side. The 

 spars were all hollow, but only the gaff and spinaker boom now 

 remain, the rest having been replaced by solid sticks. The new 

 mast is a fine stick of Oregon pine, the rest being spruce. The 

 new boom, not thoroughly dried, and the bowsprit, just out of 

 the water, a stick, by the way, of Canada black spruce from the 

 great Joggins raft, have not helped the boat as her hollow spars 

 did while they stood, hut this disadvantage will disappear with 

 time. The boat has showed a remarkable degree of stiffness, 

 especially when compared with Maraquita and Tomahawk, each 

 carrying less sail and the former with 6in. more beam. The new 

 solid sticks will detract a little from this quality, but she still 

 has an amount of stability in excess of all other boats in the 

 fleet. She steers with a tiller. The bowsprit is fitted to house 

 about 5ft., the shrouds fleeting aft to a hole in each channel, 

 while a short section is shackled into the bobstay. 



While Liris was designed and built for speed, to win honors in 

 the best racing class ever seen on this side of the Atlantic, at the 

 same time she will be used for two-thirds of the year as a cruis- 

 ing yacht, the home of her owners, and to this end nothing has 

 been sacrificed that could make her comfortable, in fact the finish 

 and furnishing aie both very elaborate for a racing craft, and 

 she is no more a racing machine than she is a cruiser, save in the 

 extent of her rig and ballast. Mr. Win. Gardner, the designer of 

 Liris and Kathleen, is a young New Yorker, a graduate of Cornell 

 University. After graduation he studied for a time with Mr. John 

 Harvey, and then went to Roach's shipyard at Chester. Later on 

 he spent three years in England, studying at the Rojal Naval 

 College at Greenwich, and visiting the British shipyards. In 

 these, his first boats, he has shown an unusual amount of ability, 

 Kathleen having simply outsailed beyond question the class above 

 her, both centerboards and keels, while nothing in her own class 

 has been able as yet to touch her. Both yachts were built by Mr. 

 Samuel Ayres, of Bay Ridge, who has turned them out in very 

 creditable shape, especially when the novel nature of the work on 

 the Liris is considered, she being the first of her kind yet built 

 about New York or Boston. Liys is owned by Messrs. C. W. 

 Wetmore and Colgate Hoyt, both members of the Scawanhaka 

 Corinthian Y. C, and Mr. Samuel Mather of Cleveland, a member 

 of the New York Y. C.

Mohawk Camping Club, New York.— We think that for the

 ands which bear the sign "S;ate Lands" are free to the public, 

 whether they have, bouses on them or not. The address of the

J. P, T,, Aylmer, Canada.— In a trap-shooting match at 15 tar- 

 gets, 4 prizes, National rules, no class shooting, A scores 13, B and 

 C 12, D E F and G 11, H, I and J 10. How are the prizes distributed? 

 Ans. A takes first, B and C shoot off for second, the winner 

 taking this and the loser third (or they may divide the two) and 

 D E F and G divide fourth or shoot off for it. 



Lodi, O.— In a match one of the shooters did not shoot at his 

 20th bluerock, as the trap loader put in trap a bird filled with 

 shavings from box, and when bird left trap the shooter thought it 

 was a broken bird. The mistake was caused by the shavings fall- 

 ing out. The referee decided no bird, and the shooter was given 

 a new bird. In your opinion was the referee right or wrong? 

 Ans. Right. 



Greenhe ad, Nevada, la.— In a live bird shoot, the shooter fired 

 his first barrel and brought his bird to ground, and tried to use 

 his second barrel, but the first shot had disabled the gun and he 

 could not fire the second barrel; the bird still remained on the 

 ground and was challenged. The shooter did not at once go after 

 the, bird, believing he had aright to Thesecond barrel. He finally' 

 did go and bring the bird in dead, hut the bird was scored lost, 

 as he did not get it in the three minutes allowed from the time 

 he was challenged. Was this decision of the referee correct? 

 The shoot was under American Association rules. Ans. We 

 understand that the three-minute limit applies to a wounded bird; 

 in This case, as it appears that the bird was actually killed with 

 the first barrel, and as failure to fire the second barrel was due 

 to an accident, this causing the delay in gathering the bird, it 

 should in equity have been scored to the shooter's credit.
