The Special Committee's Report. 
Com. Brown has called a special meeting of the New York Y. 0. for 
Jan. 31, at which the report of the committee appointed to investi- 
gate Lord Dunraven's charges against Mr. Isslia will probably be 
made public. A special meeting of the committee was held on Jan. 21, 
and the following; announcement was made public: 
New York, Jan. 21.— The evidence given before the special com- 
mittee appointed by the New York Yacht Club to take action upon 
the staterr ent made by Lord Dunraven covering the America Cup 
races having been surreptitiously obtained, and having been pub- 
lished by the New York Herald, contrary to the purposes of the com- 
mittee and in advance of its report, the committee thinks it due to 
itself and the public to make the following statement: 
In view of the feeling which had been excited and the international 
interest involved in a thorough investigation, the committee, with 
considerable reluctance and at no small personal sacrifice, undertook 
the duties assigned to it. 
It sat with closed doors, and made every effort to keep the evidence 
private, in order that, the report and evidence being published to- 
gether, all the facts and conclusions might come simultaneously be- 
fore the public, whose opinion could then, be formed on the whole case 
without the inevitable prejudgment for or against either party conse- 
quent on a partial hearing from day to day. 
That this purpose has been defeated the public knows— and how! 
Important papers have been prematurely made public against the 
will and well- understood efforts of the persons in charge of them 
who were responsible for the proper discharge of an extremely deli- 
cate duty. 
In what way a copy of the evidence was obtained the committee 
does not know; but, in its judgment, the publication under the well- 
known circumstances is a disgrace to the journal that made it, and 
the committee believes that this view can scarcely fail to be that of 
every respectable member of the community, conscious of the exist- 
ence of an evil of which this is one of the worst instances.

Grilse and Sylph. 
Editor Fo rest and Stream: 
The Forest and Stream in a recent issue reprints an article from 
the Boston Globe, which, speaking of Mr. Huckins's boat Sylph, calls 
her a 20-f ooter and easily the best boat in the bay in her class, and says 
that Grilse had to lower her oolors on several occasions. 
Now Sylph measured just under 15ft. waterline at the first races and 
later with a heavier mast just over 15ft. She was built especially to 
get round last year's measurement, while Grilse was not, and though 
really decidedly larger than the figures show, got a very large allow- 
ance from Grilse. The record of races where either started is given 
below. Sylph does not belong to the Beverly Y. C. and could not enter 
the championship races, but twice sailed the course and was timed by 
request. 
June 17.— Open. Sylph dismasted just before start. Grilse won. 
July h —Championship. Howling gale and blinding rain N.E. Sylph 
on hand to sail over course, but made no attempt to start. Grilse won 
In very fast time. 
July 13.— Open race. Hard blow, squall, etc. Sylph not on hand. 
Grilse won easily. 
Aug. 3.— Championship. Sylph sailed course in 1.57.31. Grilse in 
1.63.4, which lead is more than the allowance. 
Aug. 17.— Open. Fluky, boats separated. Actual time, Grilse 1.22.47; 
Sylph 1.23.37. Corrected: Sylph 1 07.49, Grilse 1.08.59.

minutes and took the cup from entire fleet.

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
William Judson Averill, until recently in charge of the yacht and 
boat department of the New York store of A- Q. Spalding & Bro., 
died on Jan. 21 of consumption, at the age of 23 years. Mr. Averill 
was the youngest of four brothers, well known among the 
younger yachtsmen and eanopists of New York and Brooklyn, one of 
whom, H. R. Averill, died under very sad circumstances about two 
yearB ago. The other two are now in business in Yokohama, where 
they take an active part in yachting. Mr. Averill was an ardent lover 
of yachting, and for some years has been connected with the boat 
business about New York- He was a good Corinthian sailor, and 
from his readiness to work his passage at tiller and sheet, as well as 
his personal qualities, was always welcome aboard racing yachts. 
Within a very few years the family has been completely broken up 
through the deaths in succession of the father, mother and second 
son, and Mr. Averill has never recovered from the final shock caused 
by his brother's death. Last winter he visited Bermuda and returned 
somewhat improved i" health, but during the summer he was taken 
seriously ill, and while on board Mr. Hoy t's Norota on the New York 
cruise was compelled to give up all work. Consumption developed 
rapidly, and he grew steadily weaker to the end. His last actual work 
was in connection with Ethelwynn, and his energy and perseverance, 
though ill at the time, contributed materially to the rapid and perfect 
construction of the yacht, the details of centerboard, spars, sails, 
fittings, etc., being prepared in advance, while che hull was building. 
No one connected with her was more deeply interested in her success 
or took more pride in her, and yet he never saw her. His thorough 
integrity and honesty of purpose, his earnestness in everything which 
he undertook, and his plain and unaffected manners endeared him to 
all who came in contact with him socially, in business or in yachting. 
Mr. W. D. Hodge, of Sandquay, Dartmouth, who died yesterday 
from congestion of the lungs, was widely known all along the South 
coast. Mr. Hodge was the builder of small half-racing craft, notably 
the Picaroon, Corrinette, Semibreve and Halo. Some of his best 
efforts in the 1-rating class were the Nanette and Scourge, while Scara- 
mouch, Jacko' Lanthorn and many others were built at his yard. With 
Capt. Bayly, of Exmouth, he jointly owned many racing craft, and few 
will feel his loss more than Capt. Bayly. He was an esteemed mem- 
ber of the committees of Dart Boat Sailing and Minima Yacht Clubs. 
Mr. Hodge, who was 48 years of age and only ill ten days, was a 
Stanch Wealeyan, and had held nearly all the offices open to laymen. 
Much sympathy is expressed with his widow, son and daughters. —

■'Steam Vessels and Marine Engines" is the title of a handsome 
quarto volume by G. Foster Howell, of the American SJiip Builder, 
and published by that paper. Mr. Howell has collected a large num- 
ber of illustrations of both sail and steam vessels, yachts, steamers, 
tugs, etc., with engines and boilers, the whole making a valuable and 
interesting book of reference in modern practice, as well as a history 
of marine engineering. All types are illustrated and fully described, 
from the original Savannah and the packet ships to the St. Paul and 
Lucania. 
The yacht brokerage business established two years since by Ashton 
Lemoine will in the future be conducted under the name of 'Tarns & 
Lemoine, Mr. J. Frederick Tains having joined Mr. Lemoine on the 
first of the year. Both of these gentlemen are very well known to 
yachtsmen, and Mr. Tarns in particular has been prominent in the New 
York and Seawanbaka clubs, and in New York yachting, for more 
years perhaps than he would care to have us state. In addition to his 
thorough familiarity with sailing craft and yacht racing, he has had 
charge of the construction of two of the finest of American steam 
yachts, Mr. Vanderbilt's Alva and Mr. Morgan's Corsair. The firm will 
carry on a general business as yacht and ship brokers, marine con- 
structors and insurers, and they are prepared to furnish plans, place 
contracts and superintend all classes of marine work. Their office is 
at 44 Pine street. New York, and their London agents are Messrs. 
Berryman & Turnbull. 
The 1896 catalogue of the Spalding St. Lawrence Boat Co. is similar 
in size and style to that of last year, out of improved appearance, and 
the list of boats, canoes and yachts has been materially enlarged and 
improved. The success of La Gloria, Scarecrow and Ethelwynn has 
led the company to devote special attention to this class of small 
yachts, and to seek for every improvement in model, construction 
and rig. They have added this season a new design by W. P. Steph- 
ens, in two sizes, 19ft. and 14ft. 6in. l.w.l., to be eanvased, if desired 
for racing, to the 20ft. and 15ft. racing length classes. In construc- 
tion all of these boats have been strengthened and lightened, and the 
double-skin method has been worked out to a high degree of perfec- 
tion.

COLUMBIA PISTOL AND RIFLE CLOB. 
San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 12.— There was a good turn-out of the 
members of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club to-day; the firing 
points at Shell Mound range were patronized very freely, although 
the weather conditions were decidedly unfavorable to good scores. A 
heavy haze hung over the Berkeley shore, while the north wind blew 
the smoke right back into the shooter's face. 
The new target invented by F. O. Young was the center of attrac- 
tion. This target has been adopted by the club and will be used by 
the members in their competitions. In describing the target the San 
Francisco Call says: 
"It is strictly an American target, and those who did not have a 
chance to use it during the experimental period were anxious to see 
what they could do upon it with rifle and pistol, for it is adapted 
equally to both. 
"The Columbia target is a decided departure from all other targets 
in several particulars. In the first place tho count is reversed, start- 
ing from the unit in the center, whereas in other ring targets an arbi- 
trary number is placed in the center of the bullseye. In order to get 
the inch as the unit of value, the J^in. lines have been adopted. This 
makes the diameter of the inner circle, or center ring, lin. This gives 
two values to the figures: the diameter valu« in inches and the distance 
from the center in half inches. On being shown by the marker a 1. 2, 
3 or 4, the marksman knows that his bullet has struck within a 1, 2, 3 
or 4in. circle. He also knows the distance of each bullet from the 
center in half inches. These circles are carried as high a3 26, the 
outer circle being 26in. in diameter, or 13in. from the center. Thus 
the total of a string of shots is the approximate string measure in 
half inches. The total divided by the number of shots shows the 
average size of the circle in Inches. A score of 10 shots, total 45, 
shows that the marksman has an average of a 4. Sin. circle. 
"To express Creedmoor points on the Columbia target the rule is 
very simple. Between 1 and 8 Columbia is 5 Creedmoor, Between 8 
and 26 Columbia is 4 Creedmoor, and outside is a 3 Creedmoor, at 
200yds. The same size target can be used at shorter ranges. At 
ioOyds. the 4 Columbia Is the 5 Creedmoor. At 50yds. the 2 is the 5, at 
^5yds. the 1 is the 5 Creedmoor. This does away with the necessity of 
educing targets for shorter ranges. A 12in. black disk or bullseye is 
used, but its use is principally for the convenience of the eye, and not 
an object upon which to base computation. 
"To be thoroughly American, another innovation was made. When 
shooting on the point target and a center or 25 was made, the marker 
waved a red flag. No red flag waves in front of the Columbia target 
when a center is announced. It is the stars and stripes." 
To return to to-day's scores: The club has decided to offer cash 
prizes for the first and last center shots made on the pistol and rifle 
targets. Dr. Rodgers made the first center early in the morning, F. 
O. Young making the last center In the afternoon ; this was on the rifle 
target. On the pistol target Young made the first center, C. M. Daiss 
making the last. 
The new targets were voted a thorough success, the shooters being 
satisfied that they obtained full value for every shot. The scoreB made 
to-day were as below:
