<cate with Mr. Froude by letter. With regard to the distance apart Of 
the models, and the interference of the waves thrown off by them, he 
had settled the distance from observation of the waves of an actual 
ship on trial. The distance was measured of the waves going out at 
the stern, and the models were adjusted accordingly. It was an illus- 
tration of the beauty of Froude's system that corresponding speeds 
in models reproduced the actual wave formation made by the full- 
sized ship. Photographs had been taken of waves formed at sea. and 
the models in the tank were found to reproduce them. Prof, Barr 
had asked if the models closed together when the levers were unequal. 
He had not observed that, but, as he had said, there were diagonal 
guides for preventing this difficulty, and thus the models were pre- 
vented from coming too close together. The trial referred to in the 
paper consisted of eleven runs, and all the time the models kept 
almost exactly abreast,- and when the speed was adjusted they were 
perfectly equal over the whole course. The advantage of wood over 
wax for models for shipyard work was that the ordinary workman 
employed could deal with the material. He thought the average 
model maker of the shipyard would be somewhat puzzled if he were 
given paraffin to deal with. In regard to the proportion of horse- 
power allotted to the 30 knot boats, he thought that with 300 tons dis- 
placement the power would be as specified. 
YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
The Spalding-St. Lawrence Boat Co., of Ogdensburgh, are now busy 
with a number of yachts, outside their large line of boat work. They 
have in band a steam yacht for W. H. Post, of Ogdensburgh, to be 60ft. 
over all. 55ft. l.w.l., 9ft. 8in. beam and 3ft. 6in. draft; with an Almy 
boiler of 100 horse-power. They have also the 30-footer for J. R. Max- 
well, designed by Wintrlngbam, a fin-keel with double skin. They will 
exhibit at the Sportsmen's Exhibition a duplicate of Ethelwynn, and 
also a 17ft. 6in. yacht's cutter built for G. H. B. Hill, of the schooner 
Ariel, from a design by W. P. Stephens. They will also build from Mr. 
Stephens' design a sailing boat tor the davits of the steam yacht In- 
trepid, Lloyd Ptoenix. This boat will be similar in a general way to 
the 1-raters seen here on Sapphire II. and other English yachts, but 
will come in the 20ft. racing length class, though not intended for rac- 
ing. She will be 26ft. over all, 19ft. l.w.l., 4ft. after overhang, 3ft. fore 
overhang, 7ft. beam and llin. draft of hull. As she is to be carried 
regularly at the davits or swung in on deck, she will be a centerboard 
boat, with a knife board of %\n. bronze, weighing about 1601bs. She 
will be double planked with wales and planksheer of teak and will be 
very handsomely finished. The rig will be a sloop, with boom and 
gaff mainsail.

A HANDY CANOE-YAWL. 
(Concluded from page 83, Jan. 25, 1896.) 
The accompanying drawings show the construction of the canoe- 
yawl previously described. It frequently happens in small craft, 
especially when designed to be builf by amateurs, that the construc- 
tion may be cheapened and simplified by the adoption of special
