WORLD'S FAIR SCHEMES. 



CHICAGO, 111.. April 5.— The near dawning of the Columbian Ex- 

 pos! lion brings to light all sorts of schemes and schemers, 

 among the latter the individual adventurer who stands ready to do 

 something singular provided somebody will pay him for it. Messrs. 

 Tho.-s. Kane & Co., the well-known boat making firm of this city, 

 ha ve handed me a couple of letters lately received from speeirneus 

 of this class, who find a mark in enterprising manufacturing firms. 

 The first is from a native of this country and is of interest sufficient 

 to merit publication. It is as follows : 



'•Chelsea, Mass., Dee. 23. 1892.— Thomas Kane & Co., Chicago, III.: 

 Knowing the reputation of your firm. I thought I would write and 

 make you a proposition. Twill take one of your steam launches, 16 

 to 20ft. loDg, from Spain to the United States, sailing over the same 

 course followed by Columbus. The boat could be named the Chris- 

 topher Columbus' She could be carried over in a steamer. She 

 could start from Spain nest spring. 



"It could be made the grandest advertising scheme of this century. 

 I should go as special correspondent for the Associated Press. She 

 could get back in ample lime to take part in the great pageant in 

 Chicago, next October, celebrating 400 years of America's progress 

 and dedicating the Columbian Pair at the same time. I will under- 

 take the contract for the same liberal terms I received from the 

 Norton Co. for sailing the 30ft. boat Neversink from New York to 

 Paris, Prance, 1839, getting a medal for the company and a favorable 

 report from the French Government officials commissioned to inspect 

 the system of water ballast at Cherbourg. I sailed the 40ft. £lat- 

 bottohi schooner from Boston to Norfolk, leaving Jan. 24, arriving 

 some fourteen days later. Last summer in the Sea Serpent I broke 

 the world's record for size. time. etc. I have a world-wide reputation 

 from my man y ventures, and I am the only man that has twice 

 crossed the Atlantic in a small boat from America to Europe. I am 

 the s n of the oldest naval architect in the United States, so there is 

 no guess work about what I undertake. By namina- the boat as sug- 

 gested might be able to make arrangements with World's Fair folks 

 to assume the expense of the undertaking. There are giand possi- 

 bilities ahead if carried out successfully. I have lots of things to 

 suggest if you are in a position to appreciate the scheme. Was cor- 

 respondent for the Boston Globe last voyage. Respectfully, Capt. 

 Josiah W. Lawlor, Lone Voyager." 



The other letter is from a combination oarsman, journalist and 

 lecturer, who has his eye firmly fixed on the great American dollar, 

 although from his remote situation in the Old World he is still unable 

 to get his hands equally well placed. It is as follows: 



"Amsterdam, .Jan. 12, 1892.— I think it is a duty of mine to tell you 

 that I, from Julv 4 to Oct. 31, 1891, have made in a boat manufac- 

 tured by your flrni for the exhibition in Stockholm, some years ago, 

 one of the most daring rowing voyages ever made. I have rowed in 

 this boat from Gottenburg in Sweden to Calais in France, a distance 

 of about 1,000 miles, mostly by sea, along the coasts of Sweden, Den 

 mark, Germany, Holland, Belgium and France. Everywhere has my 

 voyage created much interest, and has been reported in most Euro 

 pean newspapers. 



"A. journalist of profession, 1 am now writing a book of my travels 

 which is to be published in Swedish, English. German and French. 

 When this work is finished I will go on a lecturing tour to theprinci- 

 pal rowing clubs in this continent. In my book as in my lectures I 

 will always mention your name as the manufacturers of the boat. 



"I feel, however, also very much inclined to make a similar lectur- 

 ing trip to America. I think it will be remunerative to me and it 

 will doubtless be a great reclame for your own firm. But I do not 

 think that I can raise enough money to do this. I therefore ask you, 

 who must be interested in the matter, to assist me in carrying out 

 my plan. If you would tafce the boat and myself over to America I 

 will give you a certain per cent, of my earnings and promise to let 

 you have my boat exhioited at the great exposition next year in 

 your town. 1 will also write a special edition of my book for 

 Atnetica. 



'T send you hereby a couple of papers and a photograph of the 

 boat as she is now, if you would like to publish something about me 

 in American papers. 



"Trusting that you will pay attention to my proposals, I should be 

 much obliged to you for an answer at your earliest convenience. 

 The business between us might be carried out by the American or 

 Swedish cousul in London. The Swedish Ambassador also can give 

 you references about me. 



In a few days I am to commence my lectures here in Amsterdam. 

 I am, dear sirs, yours very truly, 



C. G. Uddgken. Amsterdam, Holland." 



"The above letters are but two out of many similar ones," said Mr. 

 Uarse, for the firm, as he gave them to me. E. Hotjoh. 



THE LENGTH AND SAIL AREA RULE, 



It seems rather late to be discussing the merits of the "length and 

 sail area rule," but Forest and Stream has found it necessary to do 

 so a fortnight ago. It is very justly pointed out that in the length 

 and sail area rule we have a very fair gauge of the "size" of the 

 yacht, and that no other method of grouping yachts in competition 

 has proved so fair and equitable as this ride. It is further pointed 

 out that, although the designer is limited, that is the object of all 

 rules, and under this particular rule he is less restricted tnan under 

 rules which only deal with one dimension. Under the length and 

 sail area rule, the designer's choice of type model, dimensions, bal- 

 last, and sail area is unfettered, and all tnis is carefully set forth by 

 Forest and Stream ; and the f utility of rules which tax one dimension 

 only is written upon with elaborate lucidity. 



That such an exposition of the universal rating rule should be acc- 

 essary is a little vexations; but, after all, it only shows that it is not 

 unusual to find that men often write and discuss matters on which 

 they are imperfectly informed, or have to learn the elements of the 

 subject as the discussion proceeds. A correspondent last week re- 

 corded in our columns that the length and sail area is responsible for 

 the present high prices of yachts, meaning, we presume, in compari- 

 son to the prices which were charged under the old tonnage rule or 

 lengtn rule; but the fact is, judged by these rules, prices are all 

 in favor of the length and sail area rule. There is, however, no 

 doubt that the cost of designing audbuilding has increased generally 

 during the last few years, entirely irrespective of either tonnage or 

 rating' rule; but we ibink it will be admitted that we have in return 

 yachts more scientifically designed and handsomer, and also more 

 elaborately built. The knife-whittled model aud homely constructed 

 yacht of a generation ago would not be a satisfactory craft to match 

 against the beautifully drawn forms and highly finished vessels of 

 to day ; and we do not see how we can go back to the old style, what- 

 ever the rating rule may be.—- Field. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



There is something quite pathetic in the group of 70-foolers now 

 hauled out at PJepgrass's yard ; Katrina, whose owner, Mr. E. S. 

 Auchincloss, is just dead; Titania, never in commission since the 

 death of Mrs. Iselin; and Bedouin, on the sale list, her racing days 

 now over. Shamrock will come out this season as a schooner, 

 and it is probable that the ever youthful Uracie will be the 

 only representative of the class this year. Mischief, once top of the 

 lass, though the smallestyacht in it, is now hauled out at Hawkiu's 

 ard, and beside her lies Wenonab, of later date but the same length. 

 Jbe two are excellent representatives, different, but very interesting 

 types, Mischief representing the final point of development of the 

 American sloop before it merged into the mongrel cutter or "com- 

 promise." while Wenouah was a typical cutter of the time, in moael, 

 rig and ballasting, save that she had about 3ft. more beam than 

 would have been given her in England. 



With a persistence worthy of a better cause, another effort is now 

 being made to convert the unfortunate Ventura, of Bronx River fame, 

 into a yacht. 4n attempt has been made to remedy her serious lack 

 of stability due to her bad form and insufficient displacement, fry 

 removingher lead keel and hanging it still lower, while the ugly over- 

 hang aft has been spun out some 6 or 7ft. longer to a narrow arch- 

 board. A very small percentage of the money spent in alterations 

 alone would have paid lor a design from the best of the designers and 

 have saved the waste of quite a large sum as it is very unlikely that 

 the vessel can ever be sufficiently improved to be used for a yacht. 



"Patterson's Nautical Dictionary."— Captain Howard Patterson, 

 well known to yachtsmen through his "Yachtsman's Guide" and 

 other useful books, as well as through his connection with the School 

 of Navigation, in New York, has lately added another valuable work 

 to the yachtsman's library in his "Nautical Dictionary. " The book is 

 a large octavo volume of 100 pages, profusely illustrated, its defini- 

 tions covering the wiiole range of shipbuilding, seamanship, naviga- 

 tion, marine engineering and naval science. The definitions and ex- 

 planations are concise and practical, and every subject is brought 

 down" to include the most recent developments. 



Among the funny things lately printed about yachts isthean- 

 itouneepient, apropos of the sale at auction of the old sloop Vision, 

 that ttmijs of the yacht might be had on application. The following 

 uotice is copied 'verbatim from a daily paper: "The steam yacht 

 Judy, from Jacksonville for New York, arrived at Charleston, S. C, 

 m -morrow." From the same paper we learu that the new flo keels 

 are not anchored or moored like common craft, but arc "hitched" to 

 buoys. 



On the hill at Wallin & Gorman's is a curious procession, the four 

 new catboats for the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C, a perfect sym.- 

 phony in color as they lie iu a line. The first is painted colonial yel- 

 low, the second green, the third red and the fourth blue. They are 

 of excellent model, all identical, and will make a fine fleet for the 

 inauguration of this new sort of racing, The builders have turned 

 out several other catboats of various sizes this winter. 



We have received from Messrs. Clay & Torbensen, of Gloucester 

 City, N. J., a very neat and artistic catalogue of pleasure craft, the 

 firm making a specialty of steam Hunches, electric launches and 

 houseboats. Both hulls and engines are built on the premises, the 

 latter burning kerosene bv preference. The engines are compact 

 and powerful, and the oil is used in a special burner , which is easily 

 kept clean. The stock sizes of launches run from 18x5ft. to 35x7ft. 



The Jersey City Y. C. will open the season with its regular planked 

 shad dinner on May 1, at the club house at Communipaw, N. J. The 

 following dates are announced for the season: May 30, Opening 

 squadron sail, to be followed by dinner at the Club House. June IB, 

 annual regatta. June 13, July 9, Aug. 9, Sept. 6 and Oct. 6, Ladies 

 Days, moonlight sail and dancing. The club has given up its house 

 at Tottenville, Staten Island. 



Cruising.— Utowana. steam yaeht, W. W. Durant, was at Alexan- 

 dria, Egypt, on March 29, and expected to be there until the middle 

 of Ajjril... Sultana, steam yacht, T. L. Park, is now due at South- 

 ampton from the Mediterranean, whence she will sail for New York. 

 Mr. Park was to leave her at Brlndisi and return by steamer.. . .Sam 

 bel, steam yacht, Mr. Rutherford Stuyvesant, is now on her way 

 North from Florida. 



The officers of the Baltimore Y. C. are: Com.. Alexander Brown; 

 Vice-Com.. E. L. Banlett; Sec'y, F. W. McAllister; Governors, Alex- 

 ander Brown. F. W. McAllister, E. L. Bartlett, George W. Cole, 

 Bradley T. Jones, and S. C. Townsend. The club is now looking for 

 a site for a one new house, to be built this season. 



The question of combining has been discussed by the Hull and 

 Massachusetts yacht clubs, of Boston, and it is possible that, ar- 

 rangements may be made to unite the two in one club of some 500 

 members, with the city quarters and landing of the Massachusetts 

 and the handsome new club house of the Hull Y. C. 



The Great South Bay Y. C at a meeting on April 14, elected the 

 following officers: Com., Alden S. S*an; Vice-Com., Leander T. 

 Powell; Rear-Corn., J. T. Bourne; Sec'y, John W. Kichard; Treats.,

 A~an Andeu, and A. Bryan Alley. 



The annual regatta of the Atlantic Y. C. will be sailed on J une 14, 

 the Tuesday after the New York Y. C. regatta, a departure from the 

 usual custom. Messrs. Banks; sons of com. Banks, have offered 

 prizes, a gold watch and chain and a. set of colors, for a series of 

 races between open and cabin catboats. 



The Pequot Association, of Morris Cove, has selected the following 

 officers: Com., W. A. Harris, cutter Mariota, New Haven, Conn; 

 Vice-Com.. James Cockroft, schr. Kismet, NorthporL. L. I. : Rear-

 Thorne: Treas., E. C. Smith; Meas., O. I. Allen. 



At the annual meeting of the British Institution of Naval Archi- 

 tects a very interesting paper on the balancing of marine engines and 

 the vibration of vessels was read by Mr. A. F. Yarrow, the launch 

 and torpedo boat builder. 



The Union des Yachts Franeais has called a Congress of all French 

 clubs and nautical societies, to be held in the fall of this year, in or-

THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



THjfrshooting in the race for the Amateur Revolver Chainpion- 

 ttiip of America and the possession of the WinanB Trophy em- 

 blematic thereof, has closed. The final scores were made at St, 

 Louis, and the targets from that city have been added 1o those 

 already under the measurer's machine. Fifty gentlemen com- 

 pleted scores in this opening competition. New York, Boston, 

 Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and St. Louis were al] repre- 

 sented in the list of places heard from, and in each city a repre- 

 sentative of Forest and Stream was present and supervised the 

 work of the contestants. The match has been a very protracted 

 one, but from the start the intention was to give the fullest op- 

 portunity for every one who considered himself competent with 

 the revolver a chance to show that competency under the most 

 liberal conditions ever drawn up for a shooting match. 



Those who have taken part will bear testimony that it is no easy 

 task to fire 30 shots under the strain of a match at such a dis- 

 tance and with the knowledge that the score is not the mere tally- 

 ing up of a record, where a "nipper" is as good as a center, but 

 instead, where every shot hole is measured from its absolute 

 center to the similar point of the target disk. 



The match has been in its entirety a complete success. It has 

 brought to the front some new shots, it has fixed the position of 

 some of the old shots. Ranges whence fine scoring reports come 

 regularly are not represented by their expert in this match and 

 in some instances the excuses for the failure to make records are 

 more fanciful thau convincing. With this trophy as a focus and 

 the continued life which this match will have in individual chal- 

 lenges until it is finally disposed of under the rules, there is a 

 channel open for the making of records which will be beyond dis- 

 pute in the annals of revolver shooting in this country. There is 

 a broad field yet to be cultivated in this gentlemanly art of single 

 hand marksmanship. Mr. Winans came forward with a generous 

 offer at an opportune time in his favorite sport and the marksmen 

 of America owe him a hearty vote of thanks for what he has done 

 in the donation of the unique bit of art work soon to be handed its 

 initial winner. There should be other trophies. One each 

 for the few various divisions into which revolver work 

 easily divides itself. There is now a large amount of fifty- 

 yard work done, especially in the season for open air shooting. 



It would be interesting to have a set of authentic records on this 

 line of work. There are other tasks in revolver shooting the 

 stories of which could be best told in a series of matches designed 

 to bring out the best effort in each line. We wouid be pleased to 

 see such series inaugurated and would assist to our utmost in 

 their successful carrying out. As soon as the 1,500 targets now 

 forming the record in this opening shoot of the Winans Trophy 

 match have been duly and carefully measured up, the entire 

 record will be told in Forest and Stream. In our next or the fol- 

 lowing issue this interesting set of figures should appear.

St. Louis.— The opening tournament for the season of 1892 for 

 rifle shootmg will take place on April 24 at Creve Co3ur Lake, 

 200yds., German ring target, off-hand. The weather has been un- 

 favorable for practice work so far, consequently the boys are not 

 in their best form for big scores. Cusb prizes will be awarded. 

 Some, members of the club met at the range to-day and the follow- 

 ins? scores were ninde. Weather cool, and our well-known lake- 

 breeze helped to keep the boys guessing:
