THE accompanying plans show the interior of the Iteel cutter 

 Marjorie, whose lines appeared in the Fobest and Steeam 

 of May 14, and sail plan May 31. The yacht has a flush deck with 

 a Ion? and narrow trunk, the top of the latter being nearly flat 

 and from 9% to 13in. above the deck, giving over 6ft. of headroom 

 in the cabin. The middle ol the yacht is taken up by one large 

 cabin, over 13ft. long, but so arranged as to be readily divided into 

 two rooms. The two transoms are 13ft. long, each thus maliing two 

 beds, while back of each la the wings is a large space for bedriing 

 and clothes, a curtain covering the opening. On the port side, back 

 of the forward transom, is a closet, built up under the deck, whiJe 

 opposite to it on the starboard side is a folding washbowl. A mov- 

 able bulkhead, in two halves, is so fitted as to ship m the middle 

 of the cabin, completely shutting ofE the forward portion and 

 making a ladies' cabin of it. In the main bulkhead, just abaft the 

 mast, is a dooway, covered by a curtain. To port of this doorway 

 is the icebox and refrigerator, communicating with the forecastle; 

 while to starboard is the toilet and w. c. A single swinging door 

 is hinged near the mast, shutting off the forecastle and toilet roorn 

 at will. The forecastle has a hammock cot to port, and closer and 

 stove opposite over the starboard locker. The distance frora fore 

 side of stem to center of mast, previously given as 10ft., should 

 read 9ft. lln. .

A NEW YACHTING STATION. 



IT has been a matter of frequent comment that with new yacht 

 clubs springing up In all directions, and many with very fine 

 buildings, that two of the leading American clubs have been con- 

 tent with town quarters only in New York, and no stations on the 

 water It is nearly fifteen years since the New York Y. C. aban- 

 doned its house at Stapleton, and six years since the Seawanhaka 

 CYC gave up the house and basin at Tompkinsville. In this 

 short time two clubs have come to the front by virtue of stations 

 on the water; the Larchmont, with its fine house and grounds, 

 and the Atlantic with a large new house and increased anchorage 

 facilities The subject of a station for the Seawanhaka Corin- 

 thian Y C has been only dormant during the carrying out of the 

 town house scheme, and lately it has been revived with such suc- 

 cess that a most desirable location has been found on Oyster Bay, 

 the old home of the club. At a meeting on Monday the club voted 

 to purchase the property and erect a handsome club house with 

 sleeoing rooms, restaurant, etc., and the work will be commenced 

 at once The club will issue bonds to the amount of $60,000, about 

 S7 000 of which will be used in cancelling its present bonds. At 

 the meeting the racing rules were chanued to allow three profes- 

 sionals in the 53ft. and 46ft., two in the 40ft., and one in the 35 and 

 30ft. classes. ^
