YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



The Yorkville Y. C. attempted to sail its tenth annual regatta on 

 June 10, but met with bad luck, the race being a failure for lack of 

 wind, while the yacht Stranger was run down by the College Point 

 ferryboat Weeliawken, and the judges' 1 boat. Calamity, ran aground 

 on the Hog's Back, in Hell Gate. All hands were rescued in each case. 

 The winners, after a dull drifting match, were: Class B, cabin sloops, 

 51arine Fox; Class C, open jib and mainsail, over 23ft., St. Elmo; Class 

 D, under 23ft. Regina; Class G open catboats, Jessie; Class H. open 

 catboats, 20ft., Pride; Class I, open catboats, under 20ft., H. C. Miner; 

 Class J, open catboats, under 17ft., Little Dean. 



The annual regatta of the Williamsburg Y. C, on June 9, was 

 spoiled by the light weather, only three yachts out of thirty-seven 

 starters covering the course in seven hours. 



The New Jersey Y. C. sailed its twenty-third annual regatta on June 

 12, but the starters were few in number, most of those entered failing 

 to appear. The times were:

Ituna, steam yacht, has been sold by August Belmont to A. V. Ar- 

 mour, of Chicago. Ituna was designed by Mr. Watson and brought to 

 this country in 1892 by Com. Morgan, who sold her to August Belmont 

 when he purchased May last year. 



What is considered as a radical departure from all precedents in 

 yacht building has been. received in this city, aud is now in Sargeant's 

 warehouse. This new craft is expected to take part in the yacht 

 races that will occur here in June and July. She was built in Fort 

 Worth, and may be classed as a whaleback yacht. She is such a pro- 

 nounced departure from marine architecture that her performance 

 will be eagerly watched by all those who take an interest in yachting 

 matters. She is a queer-shaped object, too, being about 32ft. in length 

 by about 6ft. beam. She has no straight lines and is of the shape of a 

 large cigar, pointed at the forward end, and has a whaleback extend- 

 ing from the forward part to about 15ft. aft, and she is claimed to be 

 in all respects absolutely unsubraergible. She has air chambers fitted 

 inside and her forward bulkheads are airtight; she has a centerboard 

 which is very heavy, being made of iron, heavily weighted with lead, 

 and her rudder is as massively constructed. She draws only 2ft. amid- 

 ships, and will have but little resisting power, compared' with other 

 yachts, when being propelled through the water. She is lugger-rigged, 

 and it is understood that but one man will be required to sail her.— 

 Galveston Stdr. 



C. Oliver Iselin, the head of the Vigilant syndicate, and once owner 

 of the Titania, and at a still earlier date of the sandbagger Mary 

 Emma, was married on June 9 to Miss Hope Goddard, daughter of 

 Col. William Goddard, of Providence, a wealthy heiress. Mr. Iselin's 

 first wife, who was so closely identified with Titania during her first 

 and second seasons, died in 1890. Mr. Iselin has sold his new 21-footer 

 to Wm. P. Douglass and will sail shortly for Europe, spending the 

 summer afloat iu a steam yacht which he will charter"in England. 



The first squadron sail of the.Brooklyn Y. C, on June 10, to the 

 Great Kills, was a very pleasant affair, some twenty yachts taking 

 part. 



Banshee, 40-footer, has been sold to Henry Doscher, owner of 

 Wacondah. 



The new Waterhouse & Chesebrough 21-footer will be a centerboard, 

 of 30ft. over all, 21ft. l.w.l. and about 6ft. beam, with a Tobin bronze 

 centerplate of 300, making not over SOOlbs. on the pennant, and about 

 4001b8. of lead on the keel. Mclntyre & Kirke are building her in the 

 lightest possible manner. 



The firm of Gardner & Mosher has been dissolved, Mr. Mosher re- 

 tiring from it to continue the steam engineering, in connection with 

 his boiler. Mr. Irving Cox, who has been associated v. ith the firm 

 for some time, takes Mr. Mosher's place, the new name being Gardner 

 &Cox. 



What are we coming to? First the Acteon, then the Silvie, and now 

 the famous schooner Mohican changed into party boats. Sic transit 

 gloria mundi.— Boston Herald So far as Mohican is concerned she, 

 like Ambassadress, was built too late, after the day for huge lumber- 

 ing schooners, of clumsy model and rig, had gone by. 



The Country Club, of Westchester, has offered prizes of $75 first, 

 $50 second aud $25 third (the latter if six or more boats start;. The 

 prizes will be plate or cash, as winners desire. The course will be 

 about 6 miles, twice around, on the Sound off the Country Club, on 

 July 7. Entries may be made to W. D. Thorne, 30 Broad street, N. 

 Y., not later than noon of July 6. 



Dr. W. Whitehead Gilfillan, of the Riverside Y. C, has just sailed 

 around from Harwichport, Mass, a new Cape cat of 19 t. l.w.l., built 

 for him and named Arveka.

The description of Mr. Howard's canoe in the Field dissolves the 

 mystery which has thus far surrounded the craft, and confirms our 

 surmises that she is of the conventional American type in dimensions 

 and lateral plane, and quite unsuited to British rules and conditions. 

 At the same time it appears that Mr. Howard has a chance for suc- 

 cess in the fact that he has taken the enemy unawares, few canoes, 

 old or new, being ready to meet him. The experience of Nautilus 

 and Peart in America in 1886 show that the quick turning qualities 

 called for on the Thames are of less value in open courses than the 

 straightaway speed of the American canoe; but there can be no doubt 

 that ou the Thames the reverse is the case and that quickness in 

 handling will be the main factor. 



The statement that the New York C. C. had asked for a change of 

 the rules is news to us and we are inclined to think that the Meld is 

 in error in this matter. While such a change was not possible under 

 the circumstances, the R. C. C. has arranged for a series of two out 

 of three races on open water, for a special cup, to be sailed for at 

 Burnham-on-Crouch later on. Mr. Howard's intention, in the event 

 of defeat on the Thames, was to challenge the Royal C. C. to a race 

 across the Channel, but the offer of the R. C. C. removes the necessity 

 for such a demonstration of the speed of American canoes on open 

 courses. 



Mr. Howard's Canoe. 



From the Meld. 



Saturday last was by no means a day one would pick as a fair trial 

 day for our American visitor to exhibit the paces of his canoe; cold 

 as December, and a hard wind blowing in savage puffs, whisns of wind 

 striking the water in every conceivable direction, bar that of the true 

 wind above the treetops. But Mr. Howard launched his canoe, and 

 set off down Teddington Reach under whole sail, and had there bewn 

 other canoes out we think that probably the exhibition would have 

 still been in favor of the American— at least, from an acrobatic 

 point of view. 



The sailing lasted but an hour, yet five times was he capsized forci- 

 bly, but each time he hove her upright, and continued sailing .with 

 little more than wet feet. Knowing where the savage puffs were 

 likely to be, we had stop watch ready, and we timed him; the shortest 

 time from over to up again was 5s ,-the longest 24s., but this time he 

 was securing a paddle, which he had just been using to get her about 

 on the lee shore. 



Righting from a capsize is nothing new to expert canoeists, and we 

 have often done it on open water in 15s. ; but in a vastly different type 

 of canoe and without the powerful lever aid of the long sliding-seat 

 which Mr. Howard uses to heave his boat up with. Also, his sails be- 

 ing small, i, e., the area, 112sq. ft., divided between two sails of 60ft. 

 and 52ft., where ours were usually 95ft. and 17ft., he has not the heavy 

 drag of a 12ft, or 14ft. boom and a big sail full of water to counter- 

 balance; nor was there any motion on the water such as one meets in 

 open water when the wind is heavy enough to cause a capsize. 



Of the American canoe we may safely say she was extremely fast 

 between the capsizes; she ran and reached like a hare, but she had 

 none of the hare's doubling powers; several times the paddle had to 

 be used to bring her about. She is extremely light, and seemed to 

 immediately lose all headway and come astern on being put head ( o 

 wind; but, as we said before, it was a savage day for so light a boat. 

 It was the kind of wind our old-time sailing canoes would revel in, but 

 not nice sailing weather for our modern flimsy craft. To look on at 

 such work is simply enough to drive nine out of ten would-be canoeists 

 into yawls or half-raters. Sailing there was none; the boat was all 

 over the water, and the sails scarcely ever trimmed. An acrobatic 

 performance was trying the staying powers of the sailor, in and out 

 on the long sliding-seat, the only rest being obtained when a capsize 

 gave a few seconds in a new position. 



But the canoe is of the last type, the type fostered under the late 

 pinched rule, and things would probably have been very different in 

 a canoe fully up to date under the new rule -that is to say, so far as 

 Btandingupto the squalls and handling are in question; but as to 

 speed on the straightaway, we doubt if any craft shorter and more 

 beamy, and probably with more displacement, would be anywhere 

 near the American boat. Her turning powers are faulty to a degree, 

 except at turning over— at that she is quick enough for any lover of 

 turtle turning; and a dead peg and many turns in the cup race will 

 snow this fault badly against her fine speed on the straight. 



The canoe, we are informed by the owner, is 16ft. long by 30in. 

 beam, and, judging solely by eye, we should say her depth would be 

 not more than lOin. from deck edge to keel. There is no perceptible 

 rocker to her keel, and her stem and stern posts are about perpen- 

 dicular; thus she has about 16ft. of l.w.l. The horizontal or water- 

 fines show a considerable hollow both at bow and stern, as also do the 

 vertical sections at and toward the ends of her. Aft. the sections 

 show comparatively round, overhanging quarters: and forward, they 

 produce a hollow V-sectioned bow. The mid body shows but little 

 bilge, there being an easy rise of floor, an easy bilge, and but a small 

 amount of freeboard. Indeed, she is more like the bottom of a boat 

 with the top forgotten and a deck clapped on. 



Her centers are evidently well placed, judging by the waves and 

 trim, both when sailing upright and heeled in a breeze, but she un- 

 doubtedly piles up water under the hollow lee bow, and seems to gripe 

 viciously thereby. The center plate being very far aft, and the mizzen 

 of 52ft. area, of course assist by their relative placements the mutiny 

 of the lee bow against the helm, but in moderate and light winds this 

 would be small matter, and perhaps even useful. 



The rig is exactly that known in England for years past as the Bern- 

 bridge sail— a gaffsail and topsail in one— the sail being hoisted and 

 held by the topsail luffspar or yard, and spread aft by a gaff, pocketed 

 iu the sail and jawed to the mast, with boom and battens in the ordi- 

 nary manner of bafter sails. The spars are a marvel of lightness, 

 being hollowed white cedar, comparatively thick, but light and stiff. 

 The sails and gear need not be looked at ; they are rather a "wholesale 

 sold by the yard" kind of mixture, not likely to raise any looting 

 desires in the heart of a seaman or bargee. 



The structural fittings of the canoe, though not different to ours, 

 except as to the well floor, are a lesson in neatness, lightness and 

 strength combined. She was first reported to be a fin bulb keeled 

 boat, but she proves to be a simple light center-plate craft, with no 

 keel except at the extreme ends. The sliding seat is about 5ft. 6in, in 

 length; the slide plank works upon a four-legged stool, which stands 

 about 3J^in. to 4in. above the center of the deck or coaming level, 

 clamped to the side decks by its four metal legs. 



The well floor, or foot-bath, is barely ankle deep, and appears to give 

 little or no real foothold; but being above the level of the loadline it 

 is self-bailing. With such a structure of "well." of course, there is 

 no below-deck space available, while sailing, for stowing away even a 

 mackintosh coat, and in case of a breakage of slide-seat or of spars 

 the canoeman would be in "queer street." However, the craft and all 

 her fittings form, aud are intended to form, a pure racing machine; 

 safe, perhaps, for her skipper, but absolutely dangerous to the sport 

 of canoe sailing; the very type of machine which it is hoped the new 

 R.O.C. rules have killed off. 



On the other hand, we now turn to the English side, to see what the 

 old country will put against the American challenge craft. We hear 

 now of two new canoes building in all haste, with a hope of being 

 afloat in time for the race on June 19. At present they are dark 

 horses, and the only items of interest reliably reported are that each 

 has a waterllne of 14ft., is up to limit of 3ft. beam and 16ft. over all 

 length and of 0.3 Y.R.A. rating. Thus the sail area of each will be 

 129sq. ft., and in one of the boats this will be all in one balance lug. 



Both boats are to have sliding seats; but one, we know, will only 

 have a plaiu centerplate, possibly novel in shape, but of no persuasive 

 balancing power; and the other boat, report says, is also to be fitted 

 with ordinary centerplate. We must hope, therefore, that one of the 

 bulb-keel canoes from Oxford will come forward to do battle; but 

 even then she will be deficient in beam under the new allowances, and 

 not in all parts up to date, unless indeed something quite new is build- 

 ing at Oxford on the sly. 



Referring to the doings in America, we may see what further mon- 

 strosity we have escaped from by altering our measurement rules. 

 We are informed that the Milwaukee, which carried all away last year 

 at the Western meet, is this year to come to the line with 200sq. ft. of 

 sail and a 7ft. hiking seat— this on a canoe of 16ft. by 30in. beam. With 

 the rules of the two countries at such opposite poles, it is scarcely to 

 be expected that any of our men will trouble to mount such a craft 

 aud visit the States for racing purposes. 



A meeting of the committee of the Royal C. C. was held on Wed- 

 nesday to consider a request from the New York C. C. that the Eng- 

 lish challenge cup should be subject to three races, two of them on 

 open salt water. Unfortunately the rules of the club preclude any 

 alteration in the conditions, except by vote of a special general meet- 



ing; and the time for notice of such meeting, and the holding thereof 

 would place the meeting beyond the time already fixed for holding 

 the race for the cup. A motion to waive these rules was defeated by 

 a vote of five against four at the committee, so the cup race will be 

 sailed on the original day, June 19, in one race at Bourne End. 



But the meeting unanimously resolved to vote a special cup to be 

 raced for on open salt water at Burnham-on-Crouch in two races, 

 with a third race if necessary, and such race will probably be held 

 early in August. So that except in the title and value of the cup, 

 though the old challenge cup will be raced for in one race on the 

 fluky, confined narrow waters of the Upper Thames, the real inter- 

 national contest and undoubtable sailing merit will be decided on 

 comparatively open salt water on the fairest cours« within reasonable 

 distance of London. The canoe which is too fickle or fragile to sail 

 the Burnham course is nothing but a snare to the novice and a stand- 

 ing danger to the sport of canoe sailing.

Brooklyn (E, D.) Sehuetzen Corps. 



The annual festival and prize shoot of the Brooklyn CE. D.) Corps, 

 Louis Dohling captain, was held in the new Glendale Park, Long 

 Island, on AVednesday and Thursday of last week. This park is one of 

 the latest of our suburban parks which has been fitted up for picnic 

 and shooting purposes. It is now under the management of B. Koenig, 

 who is well known to our local shooters as the late proprietor of 

 Woodlawn Park, Long Island. The park is pleasantly located for 

 picnic purposes, and with improved facilities in the matter of trans- 

 portation to and from the city, will become popular. 



The programme for the two days' festival comprised eagle shooting 

 for the annual king, prize shooting for cash prizes and medals. The 

 kingship fell to one of the popular members, Wm. F. Hollwedl, who 

 was crowned with the usual ceremonies. There was a large attend- 

 ance of riflemen, and the competition for winning scores on the prize 

 and medal targets was brisk and resulted in the making of some high 

 totals on the part some of the competing marksmen. • On the prize 

 target Messrs. Holges and Hamann tied for first and second place, " 

 each with 72. Ross was third with 70. On the medal target the first 

 medal was to go to the marksman making 55 points out of a possible 

 75 in three shots. The competition resulted in a tie between Messrs. 

 Mahnken, Marten, Hamann and Holges, each making the required 

 number of points called for. In shooting off the tie the medal was 

 won by Mahnken. The second medal was shot for under the same 

 condition, with the exception that 37 points was the required number 

 of points called for. There were four ties for this medal, Messrs. 

 Holges, Hamann, Ross and Omel On the shoot off the medal was ' 

 won by Holges. The third medal was to go to the shooter making the 

 lowest score in three shots, each shot to count at least one point. 

 Ross succeeded in grouping three shots in the target whose total was 

 7, which gave him the medal. Scores: Holges 72, Hamann 72, Ross 70, 

 Flach 69, Schmitt 69, Elfers 69, Plaisted 68, Krauss 67, Marten 65, Holl- 

 wedl 65, Horney 63, Worn 63, Feltheus 61, Mahnken 58, Muth 58. 



Zettler Rifle Club. 



Ten members of the Zettler Rifle Club visited Wissel's Cypress Hills 

 Park June 17 to participate in the bi-monthly practice shoot. The 

 weather was clear and the atmosphere decidedly torrid. 



Ross was in good form and put up the fine score of 235. This would 

 be considered a good score if made from the rest. Some of the other 

 members participating were decidedly off in form. Scores:

Columbia Sehuetzen Corps. 



The Columbia Sehuetzen Corps, of Brooklyn, N. Y., held its annual 

 festival and prize shoot at AA 7 issePs Cypress Hills Park on June 10 and 

 11. It was intended to have shooting on the Bhort range on the first 

 day, but the shooting element not being on hand to make the affair a 

 success the shooting part of the programme was abandoned and the 

 day was devoted to social enjoyment. 



The programme for the second day was shooting on the 200yds. 

 range, open to all comers, for cash prizes and medals, as well as to 

 decide the kingship of the Corps for the year 1894. The weather was 

 clear and warm, but the attendance of riflemen was far from satisfac- 

 tory, and the result was that there was not sufficient competition to 

 cover the expenses of the programme. The programme called for 14 

 cash prizes ranging from S20 to 82. 3 shots per ticket, Germang ring 

 target. 



On the medal target there were two medals up for competition, 

 3 shots per ticket, German ring target. There was considerable com- 

 petition for the medals and at the close of the shoot F. C. Ross was 

 presented with the first on a score of 69 and H. Holges second with a 

 score of 68. 



The scores of the winners of the cash prizes are appended in their 

 order.
