J. Beavor Webb, the well-known yacht designe 

 Messrs. D. & J. Henderson, shipbuilders of CiUi 

 Pierpont Morgan's new steam yacht Corsair, tli 

 elaborate and complete things of its kind ever 



about sis feet long and will be exhibited at the World's Fau-. It is in a 

 glass case and rests on a mahogany stand, elaborately carved. The 

 model and stand weigh 1,500 pounds. The model was made from the 

 origtaal drawings prepared by Mr. Webb, and as much more care has 

 been taken in details, scales, proportions, and the like as would be ex- 

 ercised in building a yacht. Every detail of rig was carried out from 

 the drawings, and the iron and brass work of the yacht above the 

 deck is as natwal and perfect as on the real Corsair herself. -To show 

 what cai'e was taken in detaU, it may be said that Mi'. Webb even 

 sent di'awings of the naphtha-launch eugiue to the Hendersons, with 

 explanations, and every cog in every w-heel outside the boiler, and 

 thei'efore visible, is as perfect as on the launch built to the full scale. 

 The small boats are made fi'om the original drawhigs also, and the 

 miniature oai's which lie along the seats are as "life-like" as can be 

 imagined, jt is CNndent that great pains were taken and skilled work- 

 men employed to make the model, and in the general form of the work 

 and harmony of design are many lessons for naval architects.— 17 (7(es. 



The Excelsior 1. Y. C, of Burlington, Vt., has elected the following

The New York Y. C. has been l olibed of about $1,300 by a dishonest 

 employe, Charles E. Quinu, a l'urmei' bo(jkkeet:iei- for the club. 



Mr. W. K. Vauderbilt sailed last w eek for Engiaud, paJlly to look 

 after his new yacljt. 



The Bath (Me.) Times offers to contribute $1,(X)0 toward a syndicate 

 defender to be designed and built by C. B. Harrington, the yacht 

 builder of that city. 



James O. Conway, a yacht broker, who says he hails from Charles- 

 town, Mass., was held in ijfl.OOO bonds in the Tombs Police Court ye.ster- 

 day on a charge of steaUng 10,300 lbs. of lead ballast from the VO-foot 

 schooner yacht Romance, now lying at Wintringham's ha.sin, South 

 Brooklyn. The complaint was made by William Trcnholni, a ]mblie 

 accountant at No. II Wall street, who lives at the San Remo Hotel. 

 Mr. Trenholm holds the x essel, he says, mider a charter from Arthur 

 L. C. McCounell, the owner. 



On Jan. 17 Wm. H. Gordon and Henry Nixon, of Newport, were con- 

 victed of stealing 3,0001bs. of ballast from Max Agassiz's yacht 

 Zigeuner. 



The steam yacht Sagamore has reached Hampton Roads after a very 

 hard trip from Bermuda, which port she left on Jau. 4. On Jan. 5-6, 

 she encountered a very severe gale, being hove to for 24 lioui-s, finally 

 rimning back to Bermuda, arriving on .Jan. 9. She sailed on Jan. 15, 

 after coaling, and again struck bad weathei- to Cajje Hatteras, lying 

 for two days off the Cape before making Hampton Roads, where she 

 lost her rudder in the ice. Her party, Mr and Mrs. E. M. Fulton, Jr., 

 Miss Fulton, Miss Wickham, David A. Tod, W. J. Duane and Robert 

 Howard Russell, returned by rail to New York. 



Conquei-or, steam yacht, sailed on Jan. 28 for Brunsw'ck, Ga., where 

 Mr. Vauderbilt and a party will join her. On Jan. 26 James Murray, a 

 seaman, was badly burned by an explosion of naphtha and was re- 

 moved to the hospital. The yacht was not injured. 



The question of whether or not Boston is to be rejjresented by a boat 

 in the trial races for the selection of a Cup defender, is still an unsettled 

 one. ^ Ci" e chances of a favorable answer are, however, brightening in 

 a wholly unexpected direction, and, although the facts upon which 

 such a statement is based cannot be made public, yet there is reason 

 for saying that Boston is as near to representation as the making of 

 lines and a model and the proctuing of estimates of cost. The boat 

 now in mind may not be built, but the chances that she will be ordei-ed 

 are at least even, and the matter is likely to be decided one way or the 

 Other within a week or ten days. And the boat, if buht, wUl not be a 

 syndicate one, for so far as a syndicate boat is concerned, the situa- 

 tion is practically the same as it was three weeks ago.— Boston. Globe. 



There is no plant better fitted for building a boat in secret than the 

 Bristol Company's boat shops, and, aside from their own rights in the 

 matter, it is a question of business j)rudence to keep the present con- 

 struction from the outside world until such time as the details may be 

 given with safety. In view of these facts the company has established 

 a day watch, who patrols the front of the building and is perfectly 

 able to protect the interests of the concern from prying eyes.— Prot'i- 

 dence Journal. 



The new 40-rater designed by Arthur E. Payne for Admiral Monta- 

 gue wiU be named Vendetta.

 recovered 85 per cent, of its deposit in the Maverick Bank, and there is 

 $156.99 still due. 



The Seawanhaka Cor. Y. 0. has started a navigation class under the 

 instruction of Capt. Howard Patterson, which promises to be well at- 

 tended, and to be as successful as the classes in the previous years. 

 The weekly mess dinners of the club have been well patronized this 

 winter, and serve to keep the members together during the dull 

 season. The annual regatta of the club will be sailed on Saturday,

 and it is about to be issued. The boreis 8 nullimeters C.313cal.). 

 Further details have not been made known, but the accuracy as com-

The Ideal Armory Mold. 



The aceompanjing illustration is of a strong, .heavy, well-made 

 bench mold cut for six of the largest military and sporting bullets. 

 Length of mold complete . 13in., weight about 41bs. It is made to 

 supply a demand from military companies and clubs which use large 



quantities of ammunition which they load themselves. It will prove 

 to be a great economizer of both time and monej^ and it will be made 

 for all calibers of aroov etl aiul roimd bullets (regular or special).

 Each man was to shoot at 100- birds, 30yda. rise. Sunderman retired 

 on the 80th round. Moore shot in splendid form, killing a total of 94

When we boarded a car to go to the "Old Stone Houifc.tT'!" ' ' 1- as 

 traveUng companions Allen Willey and Business Manage • -bb, of 

 the Hartford (Conn.) Olobe, the former all cocked and pr^!' a for his 

 match with Howland Gasper and Samuel Castle, thevet«*' i Newark 

 shot. Arriving at the hotel the first face uponwhichi- e cast our 

 optics was that of William G. Clark, of the Red Lion Hotel, Altoona, 

 Pa., and of Wopsononoek shooting grounds fame. Mr. Clark, who 

 looked the picture of health despite the hard weather he has en- 

 countered this season on the heights of "Wopsj'," said he had been in 

 Philadelphia on bu.siness and could not resist the temptation of run- 

 ning over to Newark and trying his luck with the Jerseymen, of 

 whose fame he had often read. As a shot, either in the field or before 

 a live bu'd or target trap, Mi'. Clai'k ranks among the best, while as a 

 hale fellow well met under any circumstances he is a hard one to 

 beat. 



After the compliments of the season had been exchanged the party 

 rei^ahed to the shooting house and shot a series of "Jersey" sweeps 

 as "warmers," these being at 4 birds each, $3 entry, two moneys.

At this stage Mr, Gasper had appeared on the scene and it was 

 decided to shoot off the 50-bird match. The crowd of spectators had 



freatly Increased, among them being Neaf Apgar, of Henry C, Squires 

 ; Co.; Thomas Peacock, the old-tmie pigeon and target shot, of 

 Lyons, N, Y, ; Milton F. Lindsley, American Wood Powder Co.; Fred 

 Underhill, the well-known dog fancier of Irviugtou, N. J.; John Cocke- 

 fair, Bloomfleld, N. J.; JohnRiggott, Rockaway, N. J.; (J. M. Hedden, 

 Wm. Clacker, R, H. BreintnaU, Gustav L. Freche, Wm. S. Canon, Mi'. 

 LitteU, Thomas Francisco, R. Walters, J. Cottrell and John Smith, of 

 Newark; George Raynor, of Orange; Thomas W. Morfey, of Paterson; 

 Wm. S. Pierson, of Plainfield; and Capt. Wm. Cramer, of Jersey City. 



It was 1:35 P.M. when the match began, Jacob Pentz, of Shooting 

 and Mshing, being referee, O. H. Towusend, of Forest aud Stream, 

 and W. R. Hobart, of the American Field, scorers. The condition.s of 

 the match were ,50 hve birds per man, for a purse of S200, winner to 

 pay tor birds. Both shot fiom tlie 30-yard mark, Willey lost the toss 

 and was sent to the score, his Hrst bird being a fast left-quarterer, 

 which he grassed in elegaut shape, tiasper got an incomer to the left, 

 and a bad twister at that, wliieh he let go beyond both charges. He 

 killed his next two, both fast birds, then lo.st two, killed one and lost 

 thi'ee, killed one and lost four more, which practieojly put him out of 

 the race, as Willey up to this tune had lost only one bird and was 

 shooting in phenomenal form. His last bird was an Incomer, whicli 

 caught both ban-els and fell within a couple of yards of the line, 

 Lem made a dash for it, but just as he was about to seize it his feet 

 slipped and he merely poked it with his nose, causing it to flutter over 

 the boundai-y. His 34th bird also fell dead just over the line. 

 Gasper's 4th bird, a very fast right-quarterer, fell dead as a mackerel 

 just over the fence. On the 1.5th round Samuel Castle started coach- 

 ing Gaspei', the result being a httle inqjrovement in the latter's wort. 

 His race had been lost on the Uth nmud, hewever, as Willey finished 

 up with 44 Icills. The birds, which had been specially selected by Mr. 

 Erb, were a cracking lot, old and strong, with plenty ability as lead- 

 carriers. Willey's superior birds were his 1st, 6th, yth, lltb, 14tli 

 (a corker), 17th (ditto), 33d, 26th, 27th, 31st (another screamei-) and 

 his 47th. Gasper's were his 2d, 30th, 31st, 33d, 41st, 42d and mth.
