FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Feb. 4, 1892. 



not to increase their burdens or to add auy new ones. The reasons 

 for it, if I am rightly informed, were for the improvement of naviga- 

 tion by the development of the finest models for speed, tbe free in- 

 ter-communication between yachtsmen of different couutries. their 

 imitation to our shores, and the advantages to our own yacht 

 builders likely to result therefrom. 



4. It is urged, however, that thcuah foreign vessels entering at our 

 ports may not in general be subject to duty as imports, the cas* of 

 the Conqueror is distinguishable from them iu two respects: (1) That 

 the ta mer are treated by international comity as a part of the terri- 

 tory of the couutry to which they belong, and being here only tem- 

 porarily, are by comity not considered as imports; (2) that the Con- 

 queror presented her bill of sale at the Custom House and obtained 

 lite certificate of tbe Collector thereon, entitling her to the protection 

 and flag of the United States, and tha t this act "made her an import 

 by change of domicile, and subject, therefore, to import duties. 



If. however, the views previously expressed are correct, none of 

 these suggestions have weight. They do not change tbe fact that 

 tbe yacht was navigated to this port as a sea going vessel, and hence 

 liable to duty, if at all, under the shipping laws, and not under the 

 laws applicable to imported merchandise. The circumstances stated 

 do not widen the scope of the tariff law, nor change the class to 

 which the yacht belongs nor transform her from the one system of 

 legislation to the other. After tbe bill of sale was made she was none 

 the less governed by the shipping la ws alone: and but for the acts of 

 1870 and 1886, she would have remiined subject to tonnage duties 

 precisely as before, whether the bill of sale was presented and certi- 

 fied at dues or indefinitely pjstponed. The certification has not the 

 effect ascribed to it. It; contributed nothing to give the yacht an 

 American domicile, or to make her American property. She was 

 made American property months before by the bill of sale; and her 

 domicile followed that of her owner. The certification did not make 

 her a "vessel of the United States," nor give her the general rights or 

 privileges of vessels of the United States. (The Merritt, IV Wall, 5b3.) 

 She could not enter into the foreign trade, nor into the iuternal or 

 coastwise trade of the country (Sees. 4181, 4311, 249;'). The only use 

 ol tbe certificate was to serve as "proof of American ownership," 

 for her convenience iu navigation as a pleasure yacht, and to absolve 

 her from the payment of "light money" (Rev. St. 4835 and 4226; The 

 Miranda, 47 Fed". Rep., 815; Sleight v. Hartshorn, 2 Johns., 531, 545). 

 she had already once before entered this port under the libellant's 

 nwnersbip and paid "light money," not having certified papers. If 

 isi.be was not liable to import duties before the certification, when 

 navigated by the libellaut as owner, there is nothing in the tariff act 

 or m Sec. 4226 that makes the payment of import duties either a con- 

 dition or a consequence of such certification ; and without that there 

 can be no additional duties imposed. 



As regards the other suggestion, it is not correct that foreign pri- 

 vate ships are usually treated as parts of the territory of tbe coun- 

 try fo which they belong. It is only public vessels that are enrolled 

 to' that exemption. As to private foreigu vessels the contrary is the 

 rule. They are subject to all the laws and regulations enacted in 

 regard to them by the couutry which they enter. It is under such 

 laws Ibat foreign vessels are required to pay tonnage duties, pilotage 

 fets and light money. That import duties are uot enacted of such 

 vessels is not because of any legal fiction or international comity, 

 but because they are not within the scope of the tariff laws on im 

 ports ami are dutiable according to the sbipping laws alone. Had 

 foteign vessels been withiu th^ scope of the tariff law on imports, it 

 is certain that the Government wouid not have forborce to collect 

 import duties ou such vessels, either by reason of their temporary 

 stay or of any notions of international comity. 



In my judgment nothing in the case removes this yacht from the 

 domain of the laws specially enacted for ships and vessels, as to the 

 d tr iable charges thereon: and as by these, laws she is released from 

 the payment of the ordinary duties imposed on vessels, without 

 being charged with any other duties or made subject to the general 

 tariff law on imported merchandise, her detention for customs 

 duties was illegal, and tbe libellaot is entitled to a decree for posses- 

 ion, with costs and damages.

CORINTHIAN Y. C. OF NEW YORK. 



FLEET CAPTAIN'S REPORT. 



THE fleet captaia reports, in relatiOD to the progress during the past 

 yachting season of the reform in the method of classification, to 

 wit: the general adoption of elas-ihoation by measurement which 

 bm been consistently advocated by the club since its inception, that 

 the reform appears to have gained substantially during tbe season, 

 making progress both in the miuds of the yachting community and 

 through the logic of fact resulting from the season's experience. 



The leadiug clubs which have adopted the rule of classification by 

 measurement since 1886 are: The Larcbmont, Atlantic (in one class 

 only) and. tbe various clubs composing the Lake Yacht Racing Asso- 

 ciation. It has also been adopted by the Corinthian Navy, and (for 

 one class) by the Corinthiau Mosquito Fleet. 



It has also been matter of discission and special report (iu general 

 f'.ivirable) in the Eastern, Seawanbaka and New Rochelle Yacht 

 Clubs: 



Where put into practical effect the testimony is unanimously in its 



favor. 



This club held its annual June race, as usual, under that system 

 with entirely satisfactory result. 



A committee appointed about a year ago considered carefully the 

 question of the limits for tbe different classes in use by the club in 

 i he light of experience and of existing or vested interests. On full 

 consideration it was determined to retain tbe same classes as being 

 tbe most suitable, certainly for the present, viz.: not exceeding 20, 

 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80. and 110 feet " sailing length" respectively. 



The sailing committee has also considered tbe question of nomen- 

 clature and determined upon tbe phrase " Sailing Length " [abbrev- 

 iated S. L ] as the best arbitrary word-symbol to represent the result 

 of the present system of measurement when applied to a yacht. 

 The committee rejected the terms Sailing Rating (as more applicable 

 to a system of measurement which embraces some cubical element,) 

 Corrected Measurement and Sailing Measurement and Time Allow- 

 ance. Class, and Time Allowauce Racing Class (as being all more 

 cumbersome and no more expressive than the phrase Sailing Length.) 

 I t also rejected the phrase Corrected Length as in effect somewhat 

 misleading, the process not oeing actually a correction of the length 

 of the boat. 



The committee has also amended the fourth sailing regulation iu 

 relation to measurement by bringing the same to a uniformity in re- 

 lation to the exact points to which measurement shall ba taken with 

 certain other clubs, the forward point of measurement for the base 

 line beiug now the point midway between the jib-top-sail stay and 

 the jihstay on tbe bowsprit or (lying-jib-stay on jibboom, malriug the 

 rule uniform with the New \"ork and other clubs. 



The committee has also recommended efforts being made to 

 bring about simplicity and uniformity iu the management of races 

 with other clubs as to certain matters of detail in relation to which 

 difference of opinion as to their advisability can scarcely exist. For 

 histauce, the assigning of permanent numbers for racing boats to 

 last during the season and be common to -all clubs; arrangements of 

 dates of races with other clubs that interferences may be avoided, 



The committee has also reported and the same have been promul- 

 gated to tbe club, a series of stauding rules for handicaps and for 

 cruisers" matches, as well as standing rules for the annual sweep- 



stakas. 



In concluding this report to the club I lecommend in relation to 

 the coming season : 



JLt The continued urging upon the yachting community of the 

 propriety of adopting a classification founded upon the rule of 

 measurement iu use at any given time and not merely upon one (or 

 move) of the separate elements which enter into. the rule of measure- 

 ment: With the result of removing artificial restraints from naval 

 architects in the designing of boats aucl as giving opportunity for the 

 development of various styles of boats at the same time; with the 

 attendant advantage: a possibility of comparison of the value of 

 different designs. 

 B: The retention by the club of its present established class 

 limits as: (1) Doing no violence to any vested interest. 

 (53) Providing for sufficiently numerous classes to meet the vary- 

 ing limits of expenditure which may be desired by those contem- 

 plating building. 



(3) Not too numerous to x^revent reasonably large classes. 

 C: The definite adoption of the phrase "Sailing Length." [ab- 

 breviation 8. L.J as being the simplest, sufficiently expressive, ar- 

 bitrary word-symbol, (among the terms suggested) to define the 

 result or product of the applcation of the present rule of measure- 

 ment to a yacht. 



!> : That efforts be made to bring about uniformity among the 

 leading clubs in relation to existing trifling differences in the points 

 to which actual measurement under the present rule are taken (in so 

 doiug so far as possible tbe points retained or fixed upon to be such 

 as are the more permanent and least liable to change). 



Es The advocating of co-operation among leading clubs on all 

 matters of detail and points of routine as to which it may be conceded 

 that lor the purposes of convenience uniformity is of greater impor- 

 tance than any other point involved. As for instance: 



ll) The issuing at the beginning of the season of permauenf 



racing numbers to boats liable to race during the season. 

 (3) "The issuing of measurement certificates to any boat applying

AMATEUR REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



The contests for the determination of the Amateur Revolver 

 Championship of America have been held in a number of cities. 

 New York has had several evenings and Philadelphia had a very 

 pleasant evening of scoring. Barbertou, Ohio, where a knot of 

 very clever revolver shots reside, sends in some capital records. 

 At Cincinnati and at Chicago nearly a score of shooters competed 

 and their targets are now in the Forest and Stream office, as 

 sent in by our staff correspondent, who managed the shoots. Not 

 a target has been measured up as yet but all will he put through 

 the gauge anouyinously after the closing of this initial match for 

 tbe trophy and the championship. The next shoot is set for 

 Friday, Feb. 5, at the gallery of the Boston Athletic Association. 

 Mr. Sumner Paine has taken considerable pains to arrange things 

 for a proper representation of Boston's well-known ability in re- 

 volver work and we look for some extra fine targets coming from 

 that direction. Any Boston shooter wishing to have an opportu- 

 nity of scoring will please communicate with Mr. Paine at the 

 Boston Athletic Association, Exeter street, before Friday even- 

 ing. There will be another shoot in New York at the New York 

 Pistol Club gallery, St. Mark's place, on some Saturday evening 

 in the near future, not yet fixed. With this contest for the lag- 

 gards the competition for the first holding of the trophy will 

 close.
