FOREST AND STREAM. 



437 



shipbuilders, Glasgow, from the design of Mr. G. L. Watson, has 

 completed her fitting out in Gourock Bay; and lias been tried under 

 canvas in the Clyde. The cutter has qmte a peculiar appearance. 

 Her bow projects above water like a sharp beak, and the planing of 

 the huU is carried up aft clear of the sea to finish m a stern boai-d, 

 which is almost plumb and of smaU dimensions. The stern board is 

 flat on the top edge, the sides and under edge completing an oval. 

 The cutter will at once be reconized as a novelty m which nothing has 

 been sacrificed to good looks. The mainsail is very large, with a long 

 hoist. The head sails are small. The yacht did vvell under canvas, 

 but there was no rival afloat to compare speed. She turns short on 

 ber heel as quickly as a "circus horse;" she is pamted white, bhe 

 sailed for the Solent on Wednesday. , . , xx. tt '^^^^^ 



The 40-rating racing cutter built for Admiral, the Hon. Victor 

 Montagu was launched from tbe yard of Summers and Payne, Belvi- 

 dere, Southampton, on May 2, in the presence ot a large number ot 

 spectators, the ceremony of naming her the Vendetta, being per- 

 formed by the Hon. Mrs. Bentinck. The yacht is qmte a new de- 

 parture from those previously designed by Mr. Arthur Payne, diftermg 

 very much from the Corsair, which the firm budt last year for 

 Admiral Montagu. She has oak frames, with mahogany planking, 

 and her fittmes "on deck are of teak. The Vendetta is 61ft. on the 

 water-lme, and has a beam of 17ft. The bow is of the fashionable 

 Shape, somewhat resembling Varuna's, and she has a long overhang- 

 ing counter. Below her fittings are m gum wood, American walnnt 

 aM pine. She has a roomy forecastle, captain's cabm, saloon, owner s 

 bei-th, a berth in the steerage and a ladies' cabm with two berths. 

 She has a "fin" of lead with "bulbs," and a balance rudder, like those 

 possessed by several of the 3.5 and l-raters, an experraent some of 

 Hie "old salts" do not think will answer, but remains to be seen. The 

 Vendetta is not coppered, and she presents a very pretty appeai-ance 

 in the water, although not possessing so much freeboard as tiie 

 Corsair, neither has she such a large immersed body. The new cratt 

 was launched, with the ownei' on board, and she was sent afloat m re- 

 markably good trim with regard to ballast. After the launch a large 

 company partook of luncheon, served in one oC the worltshops at the 

 yard. The yacht was launched witb her mast stepped, her bowsprit 

 rigged, and ready for sails. On Wednesday she was towed away from 

 the yard round to the town quay, and on Thursday went to Cowes to 

 receive her canvas, supplied by Lapthorne and Katsey. Sycamore, 

 who was with Admiral Montagu m the Corsair, and previously to that 

 with Mr. W. A. Beauclerk m the Babe, -vvin have charge oi the 

 Vendetta, which will be ready for all the early matcbes. ^ ^ ■ 



The racmg cutter building for Mr, A. D. Clarke at Fay & Co.'s yard, 

 Northam, Southampton, was launched on Wednesday, a very large 

 ■ number of people witnessing the proceeding, m which a special 

 interest was taken, the yacht being the largest racing vessel 

 launched from Fay's. She is designed by Mr. J. M. boper, M. I. 

 N. A., the manager at the yard, and is composite bmlt, whUe sue 

 has been pushed on very ra,pidly, her lead keel, upon which she 

 was built, having only been moulded in the early part of February. 

 She is about 136ft. over all, and over 30ft. beam, while her ton- 

 nage (Thames measurement) will be just under 300 tons. Her lead 

 keel is about 80 tons; her mast is of Oregon pine, also the boom and 

 principal spars. The deckwork is in picked cedar, and below her fit- 

 tings are of Australian cedar. The saloon is specially designed and 

 fitted up, and the cabms are lofty and spacious. Her sails wiU be sup- 

 plied by Eatsey & Lapthorne, of Cowes. On leaving the ways the 

 yacht was christened the Satanita by JUss Beare, sister-in-law of the 

 owner, who was present witb a number of friends. After the launch 

 the Satanita was towed away to the docks, where her mast was 

 stepped, and she was then brought back to be fitted out. T. Jay, who 

 was last year with Sir. Clai-ke in the Reverie, will have charge. 



An Adjustable Steering Gear. 



In the Forest AiJD Stkeam of March 2, 1893, appeared an article on 

 the Dorion adjustable rudder head. I submit the inclosed sketch as 

 an improvement, it being applicable both to a rudder head or to a deck 

 yoke in canoes or boats carrying a mizzen. For this use B is divided

.TudKe Brown, in the United States Circuit Court yesterday, gave a 

 decision in favor of J. Fred Ackerman, who had filed a hbel against 

 the yacht Una and John P. Hawkins, owner of the shipyard at City 

 Island The Una was owned by Mr. Ackerman and after a eolhsion 

 was sent to Mr. Hawkins's yard. The boat was ordered sold by a 

 trustee, in proceedings brought by Mr. Ackerman to Imiit his habdi- 

 ties At the sale the owner bought the yacht and made arrangements 

 to store her with Mi-. Hawkms. It was clahned by Mr. Ackerman 

 that the shipbuilder would give him no figures as to the cost for 

 repau-s, woidd not stipulate when she might be ready for the water, 

 and that in various ways he had been barrassed, being kept from the 

 use of his property. Judge Brown found for the hbellant at the rate 

 of S8 a day for detention from May 3 until the yacht is dehvered, Mr. 

 Ackerman to pay for storage, repairs and the cost of launching.—

into two distinct parts, e is a plate fastened to the yoke and d the 

 socket for ball joint, screwed either to the yoke or to the deck. 



At first sight this may seem more compMcated or more difficult of 

 construction than the Dorion, but it will be found that by using Bab- 

 bit metal an amateur with a httle ingenuity can produce one. In cast- 

 ing the socket a glass marble of proper size can be used to mold the 

 inside. The glass can also be used for making a plaster Paris mold for 

 castuig the ball: when doing tliis a bolt can be east into the ball and 

 then screwed into the piece which acts as a scooket for the tiller han- 

 dle. To disconnect the tiller from the ball socket it is only necessary 

 to take out the two screws e o in plan B. R. Eastan Buens.

 river from Hartford to Saybrook, to stop aU trains at Walkley Hill, a 

 flag station, directly opposite the island. The camp can be reached 

 by steamer daily, fi'om Kew York, Hartford, or from any of the river 

 landings. Those who desire can come by rail or any of the following

Some St. liouis Shooting. 



St. Loms, Mo., May 9.— One of the finest contested matches with 

 the rifle that I have ever had the good fortune to witness took place 

 Monday night at J. Kehoe's gaUery, 23 South Seventh street, between 

 F. A Cook, of this city, and Andrew McBean, late of Chicago, 111. 

 The conditions were .50 shots each on the 25-ring expert target, li,^n, 

 bull, 34in. center, and rings i^gtn. apart, distance 25yds. Several times 

 dui-tng the contest there was a difference of only one point in the 

 scores, and at :30 shots the score was a tie. After that Cook, by 

 bunching his shots, secured a good lead, only to lose it again by Mc 

 Bean winding up with two scores of 114 each, which left the result a 

 tie, each man scoruig 1,107 pomts out of a possible 1,250. McBean did 

 the steadiest shooting, scoring 47 buUs to Cook's 44, while the latter 

 scored the most 25s. As the result of the match was a tie they de- 

 cided to shoot one more score, and Cook, by making the largest score 

 during the contest, pulled out winner, scoring 120 to McBean's 110, 

 Rifles used, .22cal. BaUard; scores 5 shots each. Sam G, Dorman, 



FA Cook 102 115 103 115 119 109 109 119 109 107—1107 



A McBean , 108 112 107 115 111 110 110 106 114 114—1107 



It wUl surely take two of a kind to beat that "pair" witb the little 

 32cal. 



The St. Louis and South St. Louis sharpsbooters will join hands and 

 hold their opening tournament at the 200yds. range at Creve Coeur 

 Lake, May 20. A liberal programme has been made out and it is un- 

 necessary to state that all who attend wfil enjoy themselves.

San Bafael. 



San Francisco, May 8.— The brigbt weather persuaded between 2,500 

 and 3,000 people to go over to San Rafael yesterday to the spring shoot 

 of the Eintracht Schuetzen Club. The prizes offered brought out a 

 number of local abarpshooters, who were more successful in winning 

 than were the club members. Each contestant had four shots with a 

 possible 100, and the scores showed exceUent marksmanship. Tbe 

 scores of the winn ers of the first ten prizes were as f oU 3 ws : Dr. L. O .
