The opening; regatta of the newly organized New Utrecht Navy, a 

 part of the New Utrecht Club, of Bath Beach, was held on Sept. 24, 

 the courses being from off the club house on Gravesend Bay around 

 Buoy 11 and a stakeboat inside of Norton's Point for Class A, and 

 around a stakeboat off Fort Hamilton and the stakeboat off Norton's 

 Point, two rounds, for Classes B and C. The severe storm preceding 

 the race had disabled a number of yachts and lessened the starters. 

 In Class A Coquette mistook the course and rounded the wrong buoy, 

 being disqualified. The times were:

A Model Fishing Schooner. 



The accompanying designs for a model fisbing schooner are the 

 work of Capt. J. W. Collins, of the United States Fish Commission, 

 who has charge of the Commission's exhibit at the World V Fair. 

 Captain Collins is the designer of the very successful schooner 

 Grampus, built for the work of the Commission som" years since, 

 and illustrated in the Forest and Stream of Jan. 18-20, 1887. A fully 

 rieged model of the new snciooner has been marie for exhibition at 

 Chicago The design is intended for a vessel of moderate size, such 

 as are engaged in the market fishery from New England, Npw York, 

 Savannah and Pensacola. Schooners of this class are expected to 

 carry their fare=i of fish to market in a fresh condition, t<nd, with 

 perishable cargoes, it is scarcely necessary lo say thar speed is an 

 important requisite. With this, also, there is a demand for the best 

 sea-going qnali ies and considerable sail carrying power. The mat- 

 ter of capacity is a secondary one, and the attempt has therefore 

 been made in the design to combine seaworthiness and speed in as 

 high a degree as practicable for a vessel carrying inside ballast, and,

at the same time, to produce a schooner which will work quickly and 

 that will have no great amount of extra surface friction. 



Considerable drag has been given in order that the bowsprit may 

 be kept within reasonable limits, and that a comparatively large 

 mainsail can be carried. 



The sail plan is in accordance with the most modern ideas on yachts 

 and fishing vessels. 

 The following are the dimensions of the design: 



Length over all 83ft. 6 in. 



l.w.l 66ft. 



Beam, extreme 20ft. 6 in.

YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



On Sept. 30 a meeting of the representatives of the yachting and 

 boating interests of Chicago, to the number of 100, was held at the 

 Sherman House, with Mr George W^arrington in the chair. After 

 discussion, the following resolution was adopted : '"Whereas, An as- 

 sociation of all persons interested in aquatic t- ports is deemed advis- 

 able for the pui pose of bettering the tacilities in Chicago for such 

 sport, be it resolved, that an association be formed to be called the 

 Chicago Yachting and Boating Association. That all persons in- 

 terpsied in such sports for pleasure be invfted to become members, 

 and that an initiation fee of $2 oe paid by aU members, and annual 

 dues be less than $6 a year, payable quarterly. That the object of 

 the said association be to provide suitable facilities for said sport, 

 and to forward, foster ana pretect the interests of all members of the 

 said association." The following members were enrollea: Al. D.

Herr F. Schichau, of Elbing, has attained an unprecedentedly high 

 speed in one of several torpedo boats he is building for the Italian 

 and Russian Governments, having got as a m an of one hour's con- 

 tiLUOus run in the open sea 27. 4 knots. The dimensions are: Length, 

 152ft.. 6in.; beam, 17it. oin.; displacement, 130 tons: bunker capacity 

 4u tons. Each boat has two round-crowned locomotive boilers 

 which are protected by tne coal bunkers. The working pressures is 

 13 atmospheres (lOolbs.).- At the trials, the weignts on board, in ad- 

 oitiou to 20 tons of coal, were— torpedo armament, 6 tons; guns, 2}4 

 tons; crew (24 men), provisions, stores and firearms, 4}^ ton,5; drink- 

 ing water, tons; engine reserve pans and engineer's stores, 2 

 tons; ship's ana boatswain's stores, 23^ tons— total, 40 tons. The 

 guaranteed speed of 26.5 knots during a two hours' open sca con- 

 tinuous irial was easily obtained, and during one hour's open sea 

 continuous run the speed was 27.4 knots. The number of revolu- 

 tions was 325. Tne maximum thickness of the deck and hull plates 

 of thei?e boats is .226in. This is slightly dimmistied towara bow 

 and stern. Tueresul s obtained have been surpissed by some of 

 Beir Schiehau's boats, which, we understand, nave not yet been 

 delivered. Tne new British 200-ton boats ought, on account of their 

 superior size, to be even ta,ster.— Engineering
