LMay 4, 1893, 



Launch of the Britannia. 



On April 20 the Britannia, racing cutter, built by Messrs. Henderson, 

 of Glasgow, for H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, was successfully 

 laurelled at Particle. The cutter is a consort to Lord Dunraven's cut- 

 ter, Valkyrie, building in the same yard, and has just been completed 

 except as regards her internal fittings. She has a bow resembling that 

 of Queen Mab. She has also an extraordinary length of counter of 

 neai-ly 30ft., but otherwise she does not resemble American yachts. 

 Britannia has a long and powerful bilge, and looks as if .she would 

 carry her canvas well. Her length over aU, her beam and her draft are 

 imkuown. Her beam, however, looks to lie about 23ft., and her draft 

 about 15 or 16ft., which includes her lead keel of about 80 tons. She 

 shows a powerful bow and a finer stern than the Valkyrie. Britannia 

 looks like a cutter that will show to windward. Capt. John Carter, of 

 Wivenhoe, is in charge with his east coast crew, and as soon as the 

 yacht floated, the mast— an immense Oregon spar— was stepped. It 

 looks some 85ft. from deck to hounds, and 2ft. and some inches thick. 

 The spider hoop and steel work look exaggerated for strength. The 

 mast head doubling looks exceptionally heavy. The shroud plates are 

 also heavy and bowsprit and cranse on top of stem is also extreme. 

 The cutter from her great beam is very roomy inside, but the cabms 

 are only planked up and a month will be required to get her in order. 

 The flare of the bow makes a big forecastle, and the staterooms are 

 numerous. The enormous counter has been utihzed for big after 

 cabins, and the cutter will have the accommodation below of a 200-ton 

 vessel. Under the cabin floor the bilge runs at once into the naiTow 

 floor below, but is not the mere dead wood of American yachts. The 

 lead keel from about the mast sweeps in a curve to the sternpost, the 

 section showing an easy curve from the stemhead to the sternpost, 

 where it is deepest. Except for her Queen Mab bow the yacht is alto- 

 gether a handsome vessel, with a comfortable bulwark. She will show 

 a higher side by two or three inches than Valkyrie. Mrs. Henderson, 

 wife of Mr. John Henderson, chi-istened the cutter, and some hundred 

 people were present to offer their best wishes for a successful career.

The Fife 40-Rater. 



This launch took place on Aprfl 18, at Messrs. Hansen & Sons' West 

 Cowes yard. The Lais is from designs of Mi-. Wm. Fife, Jr. Dimen- 

 sions are as follows: Length on l.w.l. about 60ft., length over all 

 about 84ft., extreme breadth about 17ft., extreme draft about ISft. It 

 will be seen that the yacht has 24ft. overhang above the waterline. but 

 the scroll head and quarter badges, being nicelj^ carved and picked out 

 in black and gold, give tbe two ends of the yacht a very handsome 

 finish. The Lais is composite built, steel frames and American elm 

 and teak planldng. She will be sheathed with cold rolled copper. The 

 deck is of Waney yellow pine, entirely free from knots; the center line 

 deck work is of teak. The accommodation consists of ladies' cabin, 

 owner's berth, wardrobe and other conveniences in steerage, main 

 cabin and cabins for officers and crew. The fitting are of Kauri pine, 

 French polished, and the upholstery in old gold ribbed velvet. The 

 lead keel— which is in one casting— weighs upward of 30 tons, and is 

 about all the ballast the yacht will need. Her spars are of clean Ore- 

 gon pine: her sails are by Ratseys & Lap thorn. 



There was a large attendance of spectators to witness the launch, 

 and the greatest interest was evinced in the new yacht — doubtless be- 

 cause this is the first large class racer which has been launched at 

 Cowes for some years. As the owner's engagements prevented him 

 from being present, the christening ceremony was performed by Miss 

 Clara Hansen, daughter of Mr. H. 8. Hansen. The builders are to be 

 congratulated on their smartness in building the yacht complete in 

 about four months, and on the manner in which the work has been 

 carried out. Immediatelj' after the launch the mast was stepped, and 

 Lais will be hauled up again to be coppered. — Field.

Zettler Rifle Club Season Shoot. 



The Zettler Rifle Club brought its winter gaflerv shoot for the sea- 

 son of 1892-3 to a close on Tuesday night, Aiiril 25, The progi-amme 

 called for flfteeu cash prizes, from $30 down to .*!2, and a champion 

 medal for the member making the highest score on the fir.st entry 

 each shooting night. The member winning the medal the most times 

 during the season to wear it until the next season. There was also a 

 special medal, presented by the Zettler brothers, for the member 

 making the most points during the season. There were twenty -five 

 days for shooting, and each member was entitled to fourscores on 

 each day, making 100 scores for the season. The target was the Zett- 

 ler ring target, 2iu. bull, >.^in. center counting 25, cHstance 75ft. The 

 cash prizes were divided as follows: The first to the fifth for the best 

 fifty scores, the fifth to the tenth for the best thirty-five scores the 

 tenth to the fifteenth for the best twenty-five scores ' 



The programme was considered a very liberal one. and it was ex- 

 pected that the members would turn out iu full force during the win- 

 ter and patronize it. But from the start interest was at very low ebb 

 only fifteen of the members fiUing out thefa- quota of scores to entitle 

 them to prizes. Messrs. Dorrler and Holges at the beginning of the 

 season began to draw away from the other members, and it wa.s soon 

 evident that the first and second places would lie between these two. 

 The closeness of the average of the scores of the two competitors kept 

 their interest at a white heat, and as each shooting day came around 

 hioth men were on hand sti-iving to outdo the other. Of the fifteen 

 men in the competition, Messrs. Dorrler and Holges were the only two 

 to shoot the 100 scores called for on the programme. Mr. Dorrler's 

 nerve and holding abihty gave hiiu a lead in the earlj^ part of the sea- 

 son which made Mr. Holges's position iu the race uphiU work all the 

 way through. When the last score had been shot and the totals footed 

 up, it was found that Mr. Dorrler had a lead of 153 points over Mr. 

 Holges for the most points for the Zettler medal. For tlio best 50 

 scores for the first cash prize Mr. Dorrler also had a lead of 49 points 

 over Mr. Holges. The c£ia.mpion medal also went to Mr. Dorrler, he 

 having won it the most times during tbe season. The total aggregate 

 of the scores of each competitor will be found appended:
