George Laick, Secretary. 
A report which bears every evidence of probability has come from 
London to the effect that an order for a new challenger has been 
ilefinitery placed with Mr. Watson by the Dunraven syndicate, and 
t hat work will be commenced immediately. Equally Important is the 
tatement that the new cutter will be fully as large as Britannia, 
Vigilant and Valkyrie. The exact length of the design is left in 
iloubt, but it is more than likely that, having gone so far as 87ft. 
already, Mr. Watson will now forestall the chance of being outbuilt 
by the defending vessel by taking the full limit of 90ft. l.w.l. The 
type of yacht which is likely to result is not pleasant to contemplate, 
as (he length of the mainboom in the 87ft. boats is up to 100ft., with a 
sail area of 12,000, and any proportionate enlargement to 90ft. 1 w.l. 
means a more costly and less useful boat, to say nothing of the 
serious detail of getting a boom that will stand. 
Thus far there has been no indication of a formal challenge, but the 
challenger is under no necessity of sending one before the middle of 
December, should he choose to wait so long. Until a challenge does 
arrive, the bolders of the Cup are in nominal but most profound 
ignorance of the fact that they have a big task before them in arrang- 
ing building syndicates, the mere preliminary work which must pre- 
cede the actual designing and construction of Ihe defending yachts. 
It i9 highly probable that the design of the new challenger has been 
pretty fully matured by Mr. Watson long before this, and that, details 
and specifications will be in the hands of the builders In a very short 
time. Following the usual course the challenger is likely to be well in 
frame or planked before a single contract for a defending yacht is 
signed, and then there will be a repetition of last year's work, three 
or four boats out in an incomplete condition by July, each sailing 
wonderfully fast by herself, and all showing a woeful lack of prepara. 
fcion when they meet for the first time, in August. That the defenders 
have been uniformly successful in the past is no excuse for wasting 
the first two or three months of the season in idle sailing, and de. 
pending on the August cruise and the three trial races for all working 
up and alteration. 
The head of the new syndicate, Lord Dunraven, is too well known 
here to require more than a mention. The second member, the Earl 
of Lonsdale, is also well known in this country, which he honored 
with a visit some balf dozen years since as the manager of a burlesque 
troupe which scored a well-deserved failure. His career as a yachts- 
man is rather brief, the main incident being his ownership this season 
of Deirdre, Lord Dunraven's 20-rater of 1893. 
The third member is Capt. Harry McCalraont, a gentleman better 
known from his connection with the turf than as a yachtsman 
though he has owned for some years the small steam yacht Giralda. 
This yacht he has just replaced by a very large and magnificent ves- 
sel bearing the same name, which will probably be seen in New York 
waters next summer. 
The Cruise of the Oriole. 
When the thermometer begins to climb into the nineties the nomadic 
instinct, inherent in every true lover of nature, rises with the tem- 
perature, and he feels an ardent desire to "take to the woods" or the 
water, there to worship at a shrine whose varied beauty never palls. 
Inspired by this community of interest, on A beautiful morning In 
August, a party of ten invited guests boarded the little steam yacht 
Oriole (owned and commanded by John W. Truesdell of Syracuse) for 
a week's cruise along the waterways of central New York. The start 
was made at 8 o'clock after receiving the adieux of numerous envious 
friends who had assembled on the banks of the placid Erie Canal to 
bid bon voyage to the pilgrims, whose Mecca was the far-famed Wat- 
kins Glen at the head of Senaca Lake. 
A sail of half an hour brought us to the Gere's Lock, through which 
we passed into the Jordan level. The channel here, instead of being 
filled with the muddy, malodorous liquid to which we are accustomed, 
presents an entirely different aspect. "Clinton's Ditch" of ante-bellum 
days has vanished, and in its place is a clear, tr jisparent stream, fed 
by the waters of the beautiful Otisco and SkaneatKi- s lakes. The ugly 
stump fence and low, scrubby underbusb which once lined its banks 
have given way to majestic trees, whose sweeping branches almost 
touch above our heads. After passing the Camillus feeder a scene of 
almost entrancing beauty met our astonished eyes, and it did not re- 
quire a very vivid imagination to transform it into a vision of tropical 
splendor. The young sumacs looked like great palms; the unsightly 
objects of other days were draped and festooned with the vines of 
wild clematis and grape, which hung in graceful profusion over the 
water, and so clearly reflected in its depths that for miles -we seemed 
to be passing through fields of living green. 
Never did a more congenial company start out on pleasure bent. 
The scientist forgot his laboratory, the business man his office, the 
housewife her cans, and the "three little maids from school" their 
books and their beaux. 
Soon, an inward monitor apprised us that the noon hour was ap- 
proaching, and a huge steam cooker was brought out filled to the 
brim with the good things of earth. This cooker, closed securely, was 
attached to the boiler by a pipe, the super-heated steam turned on, 
and the dinner was soon cookjng itself, while we were gliding rapidly 
along, looking for a pretty spot when we might disembark and spread 
our folding tables. 
In an hour's time, dinner was announced, and eleven happy, hungry 
people sat down to a feast fit for the gods; when all were satisfied, the 
men lounged and smoked in blissful content, while the "mater" and 
her hand-maidens cleared away the loaves and fishes. Many hands 
made light work of washing and stowing away the dishes, and soon 
everything was tidied up and we were again under way. 
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at Montezuma, we entered the branch 
canal, which connects the Erie with Cayuga and Seneca lakes. When 
we reached the first of the many locks, located on this canal, we were 
dismayed to learn that they were all closed and sealed at 6 o'clock 
P. M. The tenders, however, being afflicted with an "itching palm," 
crossing it with a piece of silver proved an open sesame, and after 
considerable delay we succeeded in passing the last of the portals 
guarded by these belligerent genii. 
When we left Waterloo the shades of night were falling fast and we 
were, still several miles from the harbor, which we hoped to enter be- 
fore tying up for the night. The channel her,e was narrow and strange, 
the lighted lamps on the deck caused the overhanging branches of the 
trees to cast weird shadows upon the water, and a feeling akin to awe 
took possession of us as we peered out into the darkness and silently 
wondered if we were soon to make port or if we were destined, like 
the Wandering Jew, to go on and on forever. At 9 o'clock, however, 
the lights of Geneva gladdened our eyes, and pursuing our devious 
and winding way around the foot of Seneca Lake, we were soon safely 
landed and on our way to the Franklin House, where we stopped for 
lodging and breakfast. 
At 10 o'clock the next morning, after the Captain had interviewed 
the oldest inhabitant as to the prospects of a blow, the cry of "All 
aboard" was heard' and soon with colors flying, we were out on the 
broad bosom of Seneca Lake. Accustomed as we were to the bustling 
activity on our own little Onondaea Lake, it seemed very strange that 
during our long run of forty miles to the head of Seneca Lake we saw 
neither sailboat nor rowboat, no craft of any kind except the large 
steamboats which ply between Geneva and Watkins. 
As we rounded Long Point, about half way up the lake, we experi- 
enced a little rough weather, but found a safe harbor on the other 
side. 
While the dinner was again cooking itself we landed and soon spied 
out the nakedness of the iand A few years ago this place was a 
noted summer resort, but some blighting influence had done its work, 
and it is now deBerted. Two immense hotels rise grand, gloomy and 
peculiar, their broad piazzas .covered with what seemed to us to be 
the dust of ages. A peep through the barricaded windows revealed 
nothing but dirt and cobwebs, but we had not time to moralize upon 
the ephemeral existence of the average summer hotel, for the younger 
members of the party had donned their bathing suits and were 
already sporting in the water. Even the shrill whistle of the steam 
boat, conveying the welcome announcement of dinner, failed to en- 
tice them from their sport, and it was not until "our special artist on 
the spot" threatened to turn the camera upon them that the shiver- 
ing girls ran quickly to cover. By the way, a small picture of two of 
them, taken on the wing, is among our most cherished possessions. 
Dinner disposed of, the little boat swept and garnished, at 3 o'clock 
we were again under way, and twilight found Us at Watkins, the ob- 
jective point of our trip. While the-men were busy preparing a safe 
anchorage for the boat, the women were on the dock, interviewing 
various people as to the best hotel in town. Allured by the euphonious 
suggestiveness of "Glen City Hotel," we settled on going there, and 
the result fully justified our decision, for, on being driven thither, we 
found a large and elegant colonial mansion, the only outward sug- 
festion of its uses being a modest lettered arch over the gateway, 
his house, built by Gen. Watkins as a residence early in the present 
century, is set in the midst of spacious grounds, the facade com- 
pletely covered by the beautiful wisteria, whose wealth of foliage 
entwines and encircles the huge columns of the piazza until nothing 
of their original beauty can be seen. 
On entering the lofty hall we were received by mine host Buell, who 
from the first manifested an almost paternal interest in his happy 
guests. 
An air of quiet elegance pervaded the place, and so hospitable was 
our reception that we felt like honored guests at an old English 
manor house, rather than the weary wayfarers who merely sought a 
comfortable place in which to eat and sleep, preparatory to exploring 
the famous Watkins Glen. Our rooms were cool and quiet, sweet and 
clean, and after refreshing slumber and a good breakfast, we started 
out to begin our tedious climb through this one of nature's most won- 
derful achievements. Far abler pens than ours have described its 
beauties, and we forbear to weary our readers with repetitions. 
Surely, "the groves were God's first temples," and who of us could 
stand by the Cathedral Pool or upon the dizzy height under the beau- 
tiful rainbow fall without experiencing a feeling of reverence and 
awe, or fail to bow the head in silent worship of nature's God, who 
had "moved in such mysterious way, his wonders to perform." 
After a steady climb and descent which covered about six miles, we 
returned to the hotel for dinner, after which we decided to drive a 
distance of three miles and explore Havanna Glen. This ravine is 
much Bhorter than Watkins, but well repays the enthusiastic visitor 
for the aching limbs and weary eyes incurred in traversing it. Ld 
some respects it differs greatly and many consider it vastly more 
beautiful; be that as it may, no one should visit the one without see- 
ing the other. 
Another's peaceful night's rest, another good breakfast and bidding 
good-by to our genial host, who with his able corps of assistants had 
done so much to render our stay pleasant, we sailed away toward 
Geneva. Again we stopped at Long Point for our dinner al fresco, 
but we did not tarry long, being anxious to reach Seneca Falls before 
dark. At just 6 o'clock we paBsed the last lock, our little craft was 
tied up and we proceeded to the Stanton House. 
We made an early start the next morning, and at 10 o'clock were at 
Cayuga where we entered the lake and started for a cruise upon its 
waierB. We steamed away past Union Springs and Aurora, and noon 
time found ourselves in a little sheltered bay on the east shore, where 
we anchored and made ready to dine. After an hour or two spent in 
this retreat we turned our boat and headed toward Union Springs 
where we proposed to spend the night. 
The monotony of the trip was again varied with a little blow. The 
merry refrain, "We sail the ocean blue" was silenced, and some 
anxiety was depicted upon the faces of the "merry merry maidens," 
but with our careful captain at the helm of our sturdy little craft, 
we weathered the storm and reached Union Springs in safety. Here 
we learned that— as Paddy would say— the best hotel in town was the 
Sanitarium. The idea seemed queer to us but after receiving a 
warm welcome from Dr. Pierce and his wife, and spending the night 
at the "Hygeia," we decided that the experiment, though novel, was 
eminently successful. 
Having but two days more to tarry before reaching home, we were 
bound to make the most of our time. So bright and early the next 
morning we started for Sheldrake, Kidder's Ferry, Ithaca, anywhere 
or every where our vagrant fancies might lead us; but, alas! for the 
best laid plans of men and women, before we had fairly reached the 
middle of the lake, which had looked so calm and peaceful when we 
started, the wind freshened and we were obliged to seek the first har- 
bor which offered. It proved to be at East Varick, on the west shore. 
Here, to our surprise, we were welcomed by two young Syracusans, 
the Hosmer brothers, who are proprietors of the hotel at that beauti- 
ful point. We remained here several hours, and after enjoying a fine 
dinner, served by our friendly hosts, we re-embarked. 
We reached Cayuga at 7 o'clock P. M., and proceeded to the Titus 
House, where we tarried but a night. The next morning the sky was 
overcast, a fine rain was failling, and we prepared for a wet journey 
home; but, happily for us, the Clerk of the Weather relented, and be- 
fore 10 o'clock the mists had rolled away and Nature, with her cleanly 
washed face, was smiling again. As blessings brighten as they take 
their flight, so it seemed to us that our last day out was the happiest 
day of all the seven, enlivened as it was by jest and song, and after 
dinner a dance on the green. At 7 o'clock P. M. we reached Syracuse, 
and the now sedate men and matrons, with the "three little girls In 
blue," wended their way homeward, wearied but happy. 
We often wonder, when recalling the pleasures of that journey into 
Arcadia, why so many people go so far afield in search of change and 
recreation, when within a few miles from home, at trifling expense, 
they can find such varied and beautiful scenery. We can conceive of 
no more restful spot in which the weary denizen of the city's mart 
might spend a month, the "world forgetting, by the world forgot," 
than at the Glen City Hotel; and soon, when nature shall have put on 
her robes of red and gold, of russet and brown, where could one view 
such a glorious panorama, painted by the Master's hand, as at Wat- 
kins Glen, 1. C. T. 
The October Gale. 
Some three weeks ago a cyclone of more than usual violenc was; 
announced as likely to strike the vicinity of N>-w York by a certain 
night, which prediction failed utterly, there being only a moderate 
breeze and a little rain The storm however did much damage at sea 
and on the Florida coast. On Oct. 9 a similar prediction was made 
of a dangerous gale approaching from the southern coast, to arrive 
next day, but in spite of the lateness of the season the prediction 
passed unnoticed by yachtsmen. This time, however, the Signal 
Service was right, the gale not only held its force and direction all the 
way up the coast until it struck New York, but it proved to be espe- 
cially violent. Serious damage was done aBhore, a partly erected 
building was blown down, falling on a tenement house and killing 
nine persons and injuring thirteen more. In Englewood. N. J., a large 
chimney fell through the roof of a house and killed a young lady whp 
was sleeping in her room. A large gas tank partly erected in Ravens- 
wood, opposite New York, was blown down, and a great deal of 
damage was done to homes, chimneys and factories about New York, 
Long Island and Westchester county. 
The small yacht fleet about New York suffered very serious dam- 
age, many yachts being totally destroyed. At New Rochelle Banshee, 
40-footer, owned by H. C. Doscher, was stove in badly, dragging 
ashore; Amazon, Dr. Z. E. Lewis, and Edna, schr., C. H. Noxon, were 
totally wrecked, as were Goblin, sip., T. T. Richards; Margory, cutter, 
E. T. Birdsall, Amy and Vindex. Among the yachts sunk or badly 
damaged on the beach, were Francisco, Lethe. Imp, Triad, Gladys: 
The floats and houses of the New Rochelle Y. C. and the Corinthian 
Mosquito Fleet we're also damaged, Mr. C. Oliver Iselin's fine resi- 
dence on Premium Point had just been put in order for the reception 
of Mr. and Mrs. Iselin, who returned from England the previous day. 
The sea and wind worked havoc with the seawall and lawns and even 
flooded the cellars and first floor, Mr. Hunters house at Potter Beach 
was unroofed and nearly demolished. 
A number of yachts was at anchor in Larchmont Harbor, including 
Viator, Magic, Audax, Pyxie, Rajah, the two 21-footers, "Blonde and 
Brunette" and Hoodoo. Viator and Magic both dragged their anchors 
and were only saved from going ashore by the steam yacht Emme- 
line, Mr. S. W. Roach, her captain, running a serious risk in towing 
them to more secure berthB The naphtha launch Florence, a cabin 
boat costing some $4,000 and owned by Mr. Marshall, was totally- 
wrecked, and "Blonde and Brunette" and Hoodoo shared the same 
fate. Orienta, cat, was sunk, and Olga was driven on the beach, 
while other small boats were more or less damaged. 
At Greenport the famous Dilemma went ashore and was totally 
wrecked, and a great many small yachts were sunk or wrecked at 
other points on Long Island. The storm was very severe on the Com- 
munipaw shore of New York Bay. The cabin cat Mary, owned by W-. 
E. Ellsworth, parted her moorings and went ashore beside the rail- 
road trestle at Bayonne, her starboard side being badly stove in. At 
Staten Island a number of yachts were driven ashore or on the rail- 
road trestle, the yawl Whistler being sunk. The full extent of the 
damage has not been reported, but the losses mentioned above are 
only a part of it.

Miramichi Y. C. 
CHATHAM, N. B., OCT. 11. . 
The yachting season closed with a race in a rattling southwest 
breeze, with fierce gusts that buried lee rails and turned copper 
bottoms up to windward spectators in a way to make a yachtsman's 
best girl shut her eyes. The course was a zigzag one, five miles to 
windward and back, and the windward work was against the current. 
The race was sailed inside of two hours. The struggle between 
Learig and Oriana was very pretty ; Oriana caught and passed the big 
fellow, but was passed again by her. The open yachts gave up the 
race. The record is as follows: 
Length. Start. Finish. Elapsed. Corrected 
Learig, A. S. Burr 27.00 2 39 20 4 33 00 1 53 40 1 53 10 
Starling, B. R. Bouthilller25.00 2 40 18 Did not finish.

Maude, J. C. Miller 23.09 2 43 00 4 33 00 1 55 00 1 51 31 
This was Oriana's third victory out of four races this season. Last 
year, her first season, she won only one out of four against the same 
opponents. 
YACHT NEWS NOTES. 
Nada. steam yacht, C. R. Flint, has just been fitted with a new A I my 
boiler at the shops of the Almy Water Tube Boiler Co., Providence. 
The yacht was needed in a hurry for a duck shooting trip to the 
Chesapeake, and the old Mosher boiler was taken out and a new boiler 
made and set in its place in just four weeks. The company has an 
order for a battery of boilers of 1,200 horse power for a new steam 
yacht. 
Isis, cutter, has been sold by J. McCormick to J, J. McCue, of the 
Brooklyn and Williamsburg yacht clubs.

New York by Mr. James Coats in 1881. . 
Capt. Charles Barr is now in the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, 
laid up from a fall from the bowsprit of Gloriana while the yacht was 
hauled out at Piepgrass's yard. 
The reported sale of Satanita is positively contradicted by the 
recent English papers. 
Columbia, steam yacht, of New York, with the owner, J. H. Ladew, 
and several guests on board, called at Chatham, Miramichi River, on 
Oct. 11. for water, and left for the goose shooting grounds at Shippe- 
gan and Miscou. She was greatly admired by the New Brunswickers. 
All the steamers in port saluted with their whistles, and she replied In 
the same way. Vice-Commodore Stewart offered the hospitalities of 
the Miramichi Y. 0. to the party, but the yacht stayed only long 
enough to get water and see the town.
