Arcturus, Steam Yacht. 
The large new American auxiliary steam yacht Arcturus, 500 tons 
Y, M., has sailed from Leith for Cowes, to stay for a few days pre- 
paratory to sailing for the Mediterranean, where her owner, Ruther- 
ford Stuyvesant, will eo on board for an extended cruise. 
This yacht, which has been designed by Mr. St. Glare Byrne, Liver- 
pool, and built by Messrs. Eamage & Ferguson, Limited, Leich, pre- 
sents many novel features, the most striking of which is a water tube 
boiler of American construction, supplied by the Almy Water Tube 
Boiler Company, of Providence, Rhode Island, U. S. A On the official 
trip on 10th ult. sufficient steam was easily generated at 1501bs. pres- 
sure to keep the triple expansion engines going 140 revolutions per 
minute, giving the highly satisfactory mean speed of nearly U% 
knots on the measured mile, being fully a knot more than was 
expected. 
In firing the boilers and feeding with fresh water no difficulty what- 
ever was experienced. A comparison could thus easily be made, as 
duplicate engines in other vessels lately have been supplied with steam 
from other types of boilers, but with much less efficiency and notably 
inferior speed. 
The dimensions of the Arcturus are 138ft. length B. P., 27ft. breadth, 
and 17ft. 6in. depth moulded. The engines are triple expansion, with 
cylinders 13, 31 and 34 by 24in., working at 1651bs. pressure, and having 
a Bevis gun-metal feathering propeller. 
Three taunt Oregon pine masts spread a large area of fore and aft 
canvas, which should make the yacht give a good account<of herself 
ixndcr gg^j fj.Ion© 
From statistics furnished by the Almy Water Tube Boiler Co., it 
appears that boilers of their patent type have been largely supplied to 
American steam yachts, as well as other small craft; so, with the 
Arcturus in these waters, it may be possible to make some instruc- 
tive comparisons as to the relative merits of English, French and 
American types. 
The cabins below, as well as deck houses above, are fitted up in an 
unusually tasteful manner, with a few transatlantic innovations which 
might well be adopted on this side. 
Altogether the Arcturus is one of the most notable auxiliary steam 
yachts turned out at Leith for a long time, and her advent in English 
and Mediterranean waters is watched with much interest by yachts- 
men generally. — The Field. 
"One Design " 15-Footers. 
The members of the Winthrop Y. 0. who are building 15-f ooters to 
the number of a dozen at Acker's shop, South Boston, have agreed to 
sail the entire fleet to Winthrop on May 15. The boats are described 
as follows by the Boston Globe: 
They will be built from a desien by Parker Kemble, will be identical 
in model and construction and will be selected by lot when finished. 
The design Bhows a square-sided boat, 22ft. on deck, 14ft. 6in. water- 
line, 4ft. 6in. beam and less than 6in. draft. Tha least freeboard is 
llin., and there is quite a sheer. The floor has considerable dead rise, 
and the lines have an easy sweep, which promises a good form to 
drive. It is a neat looking design all around, and the boats built under 
it should be just as speedy, if not quite so handsome, as some of the 
more expensive ones. 
The rig will be jib and mainsail without bowsprit. The sail area will 
be235eq ft , of which 189 will be in the gaff mainsail. The racing 
length will be 14.89 f t. The dagger centerboard, a J4in. galvanized iron 
plate, is 5ft. long and 17in. wide, and will drop to its full length. It 
will wei^h about 701bs., and no other ballast will be carried The 
cockpit is 4ft. by 18in., with washboard set well out on the deck, and 
is self-draining into the centerboard box. Some novelties for light- 
ness of rig aloft are promised. The mainsail will have a 17ft. boom, a 
10ft. gaff and a hoist of lift. The jib will be 7ft. on the foot. 
In construction the boats will show oak keels, spruce frames and 
J^in. planking of clear white pine. The decks will be lighter pine and 
will be canvased. The bottom planking will run lengthwise and be 
galvanized screw fastened. Cousens & Pratt will make the sails, which 
will be of light cotton duck. 
The price of the boats is so low that the owners cannot fail to have 
more than their money's worth of sport. Several more of the club 
members are considering the matter of joining those who have already 
ordered, and there is certainly sport in view. 
YACHTING NEWS NOTES.

Monday morning, Jan. 6, the loss being 810,000 on building only. The

ance required until future arrangement are made.

The handsome and commodious rooms of the Toronto C. C. were 
the scene of a very pleasing event on the evening of Jan. 4, when a 
large number of friends of Mr. Herbert R. Tilley took the occasion of 
his recent retirement from the commodoreship (which he has held for 
the last two years) to express their hearty appreciation of his services. 
In a brief and very felicitous speech the present commodore, Mr. Geo. 
Wilkie, referred to the advances that had been made and the prosper- 
ity which the club had enjoyed during Mr. Tilley 's term of office, and 
then, in the name of his many friends, presented him with an appro- 
priately worded address, beautifully illustrated with sketches of 
canoeing incidents and scenery, and signed by over sixty of the club's 
most prominent members, the whole forming a highly artistic and 
handsome souvenir. In his reply Mr. Tilley warmly thanked those 
assembled for their good will and kindness, which affected him more 
deeply than he could express, to which the boys responded with three 
hearty cheers for the ex-commodore and a spirited rendering of "For 
he is a jolly good fellow " Laudatory speeches were also delivered by 
Captains J. T. R. Stinson and Geo. Sparrow and ex-Commodores J. L. 
Kerr, H. C. Neilson and G. R. Baker. Rick.
