leaving the designer free to to do it. in an artistic and graceful man- 

 ner; with a heavier limit, on the driving power, yachtsmen will very 

 soon learn that they are paying too high a price for the weight and 

 windage of excessively long ends. 



There is one most interesting point about Gloriana which her de- 

 signer alone can clear np,and on which thus far ha has been silent. In 

 studying the history of the America, the inquiring yachtsman will 

 And that up to about 1845, or some Ave years prior to her construc- 

 tion, the work of George Steers was much like that of his contem- 

 poraries, the same bluff bows and fine runs; while in the America, as 

 ali know, the reverse is the case, she being a striking departure from 

 the prevailing ideas. In tracing backward the Steers boats from the 

 America, to the earlier ones, many links are missing, the famous pilot 

 boat, Mary Taylor, forms an important connection between the 

 America, and her predecessors, showing some marked steps of the 

 great change, but the otber steps, and the exact order of other mod- 

 els is well nigh lost; and it is not known to-day what suggested to 

 Mr. Steers the first idea of the great departure which "made him 

 famous. In the same way the exact influences which led Mr. Her- 

 reshofl to make in Gloriana a most radical departure from his pre- 

 vious practice are still unknown. The Herresnoff yachts, as a rule, 

 were noted for plumb stems and short counters, inany being built 

 under a mean-length rule; but even in the cruising craft with which 

 he has amused himself iu experimenting for some ten years, the 

 same characteristics are visible. 



The well-known cat-yawl Consuelo, de°igned and built by him in 

 1S83, is a good example, a large powerful model, with more than 

 the average area of load water plane, but with a plumb stem and a 

 very blunt counter, the total overhang being about 3ft- on 2i(t. lwl. 

 His second cat-yawl, Clara, built some four years later, is similar in 

 model, though with 3ft. more length over all. The first evidences of 



a. material change of model were in the two eat-yaMs, Gawnel; and 

 Penguin, built late in 1890 for Vice.-Com. Morgan and his 

 brother in iaw, Mr. Moran. Both of these had bows similar to that 

 afterward seen m Gloriana, but less extreme; at the same time 

 showing a radical departure from earlier Herreshoff boats. Tney 

 were tested thoroughly in the rough waters of Narragansett Bay and 

 late in the season, their performance being so encouraging that the 

 design for a 46-f 6o*er was finally made in which their character- 

 istics were worked out more elaborately and to a greater extreme. 



It has beeu said that the idea of Gloriana is derived from the eim 

 mon Bamegat sneakbox, but iu spite of a general resemblance of 

 the bows to the sneakbox and Norwegian pram, the differences 

 are almost as marked as the points of resemblance. The sharp V 

 sections of Gloriana's fore body and overhang have little in common 

 with the semi-ovals of the sneakbox which makes her so much like a 

 teaspoon. A much more plausible theory of the course of evolution 

 by which Gloriana was produced was broached to us some time since 

 by an observant yachtsman, who pointed out how the long forward 

 overhang was directly obtained from the old form of bow, not by 

 additions, but by starting at the stcmhead and cutting away not 

 only the forefoot but several feet of the waterline, giving to the new 

 stem about the rake shown in our design. Such a cutting away in 

 in any old yacht would remove a large pie^e of deadwood and the 

 very fine end, with but small decrease of displacement, and by fair- 

 ing the lines in to the new stem, the waterlines and sections would 

 assume the general form of the Gloriana model. The reduction of 

 forefoot nas been general among designers for about eight years, be- 

 ing particularly noticeable in Thistle and all later yachts until the 

 lateral plane has assumed the form of a triangle. Other designers 

 have stopped as soon as the waterline was reached, but Mr. Herres- 

 hoff has made a far bolder step, and with full appreciation of the 



price to be paid under any rule for each inch of waterline, and of 

 the small value of length in the shape of merely a thin deadwood, 

 he has cut away at both ends until the true body of the boat is 

 reached. 



To him is due the credit for the first perception of the gain to be 

 made in this direction, for the courage to attempt the experiment iu 

 the face of these established theories as to the form of the water- 

 lines which declared it impracticable, and for the skill wbieb has 

 made such a triumph in the first experiment. He has achieved the 

 end sought by most designers, whether in open catboats. narrow 

 cutters or the modern wide cutter, of combining the greatest amount 

 of power with a form that is easy to drive and easy on her helm; 

 whether this is the highest development of the problem of yacht de- 

 signing, or whether a rule will in urne be devised which will make it 

 desirable to take less tuan the maximum amount of power, remains 

 to be seen. While there are features m Gloriana's design which will 

 be advantageous in any type of yacht, regardless of rules, the 

 greatest advantages of her peculiar form are realized under those 

 rules in which length of waterline is an im portant factor. 



Tne merits of Gloriana have found a speedy recognition among de- 

 signers in the immediate adoption of her forebody, which is likely 

 to become too common to attract attention. The later work of Mr. 

 Herreshoff has been fully described in the Forest and Stream during 

 the winter, all of the yachts, flu-keels, catboats and the new cutter 

 showing the leading' characteristics of Gloriana, though in some 

 cases the actual length of overhang is noticeably shore. In the new 

 Wasp, whose approximate outline is shown in the cut, the forebody 

 is still fuller than in Gloriana, so that the merits and limits of the 

 new departure are likely to be definitely settled before the close of 

 the season of 1892.

Invitations and cards bearing the list of prises to be distributed 

 among the marksmen attending the shoot of the club at the 

 Union Hill Kehuetzen Park on May 80 ( Decoration Day), have 

 been sautto every rifle club, shooting society and schuetzen corps 

 in this and New Jersey State. Over fifty clubs received them. 

 All details, both great and small, have been attended to, and all 

 that is hoped for is a nice clear day. The race for the two hand- 

 some medals donated by the club 10 the two men selling the most 

 tickets for the festival has brought out many competitors, but 

 the winners will probably be. first medal, H. Fred Meyer; second, 

 Capt. Richard W. Dewey, The former is only a new acquisition 

 to the club, but his hustling in the ticket-selling line has given 

 him quite a local reputation. Hitherto Captain Dewey has had a 

 ■monopoly on the first medal, but if he wins it this year he will 

 have to sell four or five hundred to win. As yet Captain Dewey 

 has not started in, but he will make the fur fly from now on, The 

 Millers have not as yet changed their headquarters, notwith- 

 standing the modest (?) request of the proprietor for an increase 



of eight dollars per month in the rent. But the club^will "get up 

 and get" inside of a week. 



The Friday Night Rifle Club, with headquarters at 210 Wash- 

 ington street, Hoboken, meet regularly every Friday evening for 

 practice. Their aim is to make their club a social one. they not 

 particularly keeping down to shooting alone. In President 

 August Grueber they have a hustler who is always on the lookout 

 for articles which can he used for the advancement of the club's 

 interests. 



Freischutz Company, No. 53, ftermania Schnetzen Bund, Car- 

 tain Joseph Schauer, Sr., practice once every tw o weeks on the 

 100ft. range, which is situate at headquarters, Wisch's Hall, 

 Tnird and Adams street, Hoboken. Though only possessing six- 

 teen members, they nave quite a number of expert handlers of 

 the rifle, foremost among whom are Joseph Schauer, Jr., and 

 Lambert Schmidt.

 Hoboxen, open only m companies of the Second Regiment, K. G.

 Company D, who were expected to win if, by 11 points. Five 

 teams of 10 men each were entered, three shooting on the first 

 night, Tuesday, April 26, and two shoo'ing on Thursday, April 28. 

 The gun detachment also shot, using pistol, for a handsome prize.
