[Sept. 11, 1890. 



MR. FIFE'S VISIT. 



MR. WILL FIFE, JR., the designer of Clara, Minerva, Dragon, 

 Yvonne, and many other fast yachts, arrived in New York 

 on the City of Rome on Aug. 17, proceeding at once to Marblehead, 

 where he sailed a couple of races on Minerva during the Corin- 

 thian series. On his return to New York he ran up to Oswego, 

 joining his new Yama at that port on the morning of the race of 

 the Oswego Y. C„ in which Yama won her fifth successive first 

 prize. He continued with her to Rochester, returning to New 

 York on Aug. 28 and leaving two days later for home. Mr. Fife's 

 visit was, of course, partly for buslnes. and it is probable that, he 

 took several orders home with him, but it was also for recreation 

 and for a look at the American "boats, many of which are new 

 since his first visit in 1887. 



The great American interviewer, both amateur and profes- 

 sional, was out in full force to welcome him, but with rather poor 

 success, as to the many questions that were fired at him point 

 blank, whether he would build a yacht to challenge for the Cup, 

 whether such a yacht would have a keel or a center board, and 

 whether he could heat this, that or the other craft, he quietly but 

 positively replied that such questions were not fair and he would 

 not answer them. . „. 



Mr. Fife is a well built man of medium height, with broad 

 shoulders and weighing about 189ibs. He has a frank, open face 

 and pleasant manner, and when not plied with questions, had a 

 good deal to say of yachting on the other side, especially of the 

 new racing craft and the wonderful racing witnessed this season 

 on the Clyde. One opinion at least he gave very freely and posi- 

 tively; after half an hour in Yama's cabin on the afternoon of the 

 Oswego regatta, when the "Redoo" had been sung in most ap- 

 proved fashion, and with proper accompaniments, he remarked 

 that the method of celebrating a victory on Lake Ontario was 

 fully as moist and exhilarating as a similar ceremony on the 



^he" designer of Minerva, is now in his thirty-third year, his 

 father, with whom he is associated in the famous old yard at 

 Fairlie, being nearly seventy. "Old Wull Fife," tne grandfather 

 of the present Wm. Fife, Jr., and father of the elder Will Fife, 

 was a yacht builder and ship owner many years since, his son, 

 who succeeded him in the business, attaining well deserved 

 fame as the builder of many staunch and speedy yachts, whose 

 day has since gone by, Fiona, Neva, Condor, Moina, Neptune, Fox- 

 hound, Bloodhound, Coralie and the ill-fated Cythera. Young 

 Mr. Fife designed his first yacht of any note in 1876, the Clio, a 

 successful 5-tonner. Since then he has turned out a large number 

 of fast raceTS, Neptune, Sleuth Hound, Ariel, Lenore, Erycina, 

 Clara, Rival, Ulidia, Yvonne, Minerva, Uvira, Dragon, Wind- 

 ward, Encore, Oread, Woodcock and many steamers. In 1883 he 

 took charge, for a time of the Culzean Ship Building and Engin- 

 eering Co.'s works at Maybole, building while there Clara and 

 Bayadere. Afterward he returned to Fairlie, where he has 

 built up a very successful practice in designing, as well as build- 



^While in this country he was outspoken in favor of a classifica- 

 tion by corrected length, similar to the present British rules. In 

 an interview with a reporter of the Tribune he also expressed 

 himself as follows in regard to the conditions of the new deed of 

 gift of the America's Cup: 



•'When asked regarding the possibility of another challenge for 

 the America's Cup, Mr. Fife said: 'I do not believe that there 

 will be another challenge for the America's Cup, as long as the 

 New York Y. C. adheres to the present deed of gift. It is mani- 

 festly unfair. English yachts and English yacht builders could 

 never get from the Americans those concessions which the 

 Americans demand from the British. Under the present deed of 

 gift, the challenging boat has to send to the New York Y. C. its 

 four principal dimensions and give a ten months' notice. Now, if 

 I have the four principal dimensions of a yacht given me and I 

 have ten months in which to study those dimensions and in 

 which to construct a yacht, I believe that I could build a yacht, 

 which would beat the one whose dimensions were sent me. At 

 least I should have no hesitation in trying it. It is easy to be 

 seen that under the present deed of gift the Americans Have a 

 great advantage. The challenging yacht is a fixed quantity that 

 cannot be altered. The Americans know by the challenge almost, 

 exactly what sort of a yacht she is, in every particular. The 

 problem which then confronts them is to build a yacht which 

 shall be a little faster, no matter at what expense of other 

 qualities. It is very much easier to improve upon than to origin- 

 ate. It is very much easier to build a boat which shall attain 

 speed at the expense, of other qualities, when the desired amount 

 of speed is practically known, than it is to originate the perfect 

 "boat. I do not think the deed of gift is fair to British yachtsmen, 

 and I do not believe there will be another chaUenge for the 

 America's Cup as long as i t is held under that deed.' "

 regatta of tne Yorkville Y.C. was started with 25 yachts on Labor 

 Day, but the wind was too light to allow any yacht to cover the 

 course, from Oak Point around the Gangway Buoy, within the

 the new club house at 102d street was formally opened.

 mediately, her crew escaping m a dory. The name of the tug has 

 not yet been ascertained, but Mr. E. Burkhard, owner of the 

 yacht, has offered a reward for it. The yacht was about 26ft. 

 long,
