A Handsome Paper. 



Washinuton, D. C— The new ih-ess of the paper is capital. It speaks 

 Its own merits as loudly as the suggested but discarded headings do 

 the cliikllike and guUeless modesty of their designers. C. C. 



Lancaster, N. H.— Allow me to oongi-atnlate you upon the improved 

 appearance of our paper as it comes to ii.s this week. You seem to

 a subscriber for sixteen yeai-s. and have neaity a complete file from 

 that time up. To-day 1 was comparing the current issue with a cojiy 

 of fifteeu years ago, and I was forcibly struck with the vast amount 

 of work necessary to successfully bring the journal up to its present

130 Miles in 121 Minutes, 



The New York Central keeps actively emplovefl smashing time 

 records. Last week the Empire State Express left PeeksldU late. and. 

 pursuant to instructions to make up lost time, the engineer speeded 

 the train from Peekskill to .Albany. 101 miles, in !)ti minutes, an average 

 running time of over (3:i miles an hour. The .stretch from Hudson Xn 

 Albany. y.S.4.3 miles, was eovererl in .-^5 minutes, an a\-erage for the dis- 

 tance of over OS miles an hour. The recent wonderful performances 

 of the Enpiire State Ex|.iress and other fast trams of the New York 

 Central h;ive coirinianded attention and applause from all parts of the 

 globe. It is interesting to note, from published comments on this 

 siibject. Imw mucli stress is laid upon the advautaees enioyed by the 

 New Vork Central, by reason of its foui- ti-acks. level and straight 

 roadbed, and to these are attributed the results acrumiilislieii ipiite 

 as much as to the powerful motive power employed.— Ailr

\ VERV good eNample of the utter aVisurdity ot the soaped windows 

 and hacked doia-s affected attunes bv designers is found in the case

.PitoM the report;s ui the various daily papers, t he cohU^si blizzards 

 of Mamtoha tail to cool the blood ot the ardent ice va< hi Hnian w ho in 

 default of sailing, keeps up the excitement by a :-i|arite(i ciaitroversy 

 over challenges. We really have not the most remote idea of the 

 merits ol the quarrel lietweeu the ( irange Lake and the Shrewsbury 

 men. but assuming that it is simply a nii.suiiderstandmg between good 

 sportsmen, as .such disjiutes usually are. it seems a great pity that 

 all details ot challenges and dates could not be finally settled in 

 warmer weather, so that the very tew days on which ice -^'achting is 

 possible might be utihze<l iii .sailing races rather thau m writing let- 

 ters and talking to reporters. 



AitojiO the stray rumors from the other side is one ot a new cutter 

 (d large size tor A. D. t larke. a British yachtsman, owner of tiie Ui»- 

 rater Reverie, designed by ,). M. Soper and built bv Fay it Co The 

 other report is that if sutncient mdueemeiit should be ottered in the 

 wa.\ of pri/.es the crack 40-footer Queen Mali will visit i:hicago- Such 

 a visit would be very acceptable to Amei'ican yachtsmen- who have 

 heard so much ot the A^atson center boarder, but there is not a yacht 

 on the coast, uiiich less on the Lakes, that could make a good i-ace 

 with her. "R asp. biff, shorter on waterhne and :3ft. narrower, would 

 hardly be a satisfactory competitor, and the only modern yacht any 

 where near o'Jtt. IS katrina. of lOtt. The news also comes of a Fife 

 cutter ot the larger class t(rt' Mr. .John t'lark and others ot .a Si-otcli 

 syndicate. The new yacht will serve as a trial boat tor \ alkyrle audi 

 also as an opponent ot the C:arroll boat. 



All speculation as to the skippers ot the new yachts is set at rest by 

 file news that :\lr. Carroll has engaged t-'apt. Charles Baia' for hia

An Old-Time American Yacht. 



It is a rehef to turn from the everlasting discussion on the rating 

 rule to the more genial aspect of the criiLsing and social attributes of 

 yacht clulis. The possibilities of small chihs'in the way of cruising liave 

 been strikingly exemplified by the ubiquitous Miniiiia C'hih, and the 

 London Sailing Club has now resolved to establish a branch house at 

 Buriiham-on-Ci'oiieh. M'here we are sure its members will be quite able 

 to fancy themselves •■i:iut of the world."' We just spoke of a "branch, 

 house,'" but the "house" has only been decided upon after failing ten 

 obtain the American yacht Gypsy, Avhich for .some years has done ser- 

 vice as the '•dull house'" of the Erith Y. C. This yacht is, we believe, 

 f)4ft. on the waterline and 22tt. beam, uieasuring aliout .500 tt-ins. She 

 was built at New Y^ork in tS5:3, and created some little excitement on 

 the Solent when she arrived at Cowes in ]8(i:!. Her owner. Mr. Morse, 

 desired to try her speed against some of our crack schooners, which 

 happened at that time to be Alarm. 2:38 tons; Aline. , ■210 tons; Albertine. 

 150 tons, and- Galatea, t40 tons. The conditions of oiu- matches were 

 not, however, quite agreeable to the owner of the Gypsy, especially as 

 his handsome schooner was in cruising trim. Still, he gave way tci his 

 sporting proclivities so far as to have a friendly matchVith the crack 

 of the day. the -'old Alarm" from Ryde round' the Nab and back, the 

 Alarm winning by 7m. only. After this the Gyp.sy accompanieci the 

 R. V. Y'. C). fleet in a match to Cherbourg, and would have made a good 

 finish had she not carried away some of her Iieadgear when sailing a 

 close second to the Galatea, which led the fleet across Channel. After 

 this the Gj'psy became "naturalized."' and, as before said, she is now 

 usefully employed as the floating home of the Erith Club. We dare 

 say many of the members will regret, when they think over her days 

 on the Solent, that they cannot still accompany Channel matches in 

 hi'V.—Fielil.
