In conclusion we quote from a letter written by Mr. Thos. A. Bruce, 
editor of the Model Yachtsman and Canoeist, published in Hull, Eng- 
land, to a model yachtsman in this city: 
"As regards the pastime and recreation of model yachting, yacht- 
ing, cricketing, football, cycling, etc., are all means of getting exer- 
cise, recreation, and health. Yachting stands pre eminent above all 
in my opinion, as there is more pleasure to be had from yachting 
when separated from its competitive features than any of the rest. 
Model yachting comes next, as you may get considerable pleasure 
from the exercise of skill and ingenuity and the beauty of model 
yachting, independent of its competitive features, although the latter 
form a considerable enhancement to the pleasure, and add zest and 
spirit to the pursuit of the sport. 
"Cricket, football and such sports are nothing when separated from 
the competitive features, and a man going through the motions that 
belong to them by himself would be considered a moonstruck imbecile. 
Cycling of course has its keen cruising pleasures. 
"Such being the case, I claim for model yachting that it may stand 
on its own basis as advantageous to the community for health, for 
pleasure, for the development of the mind, as exercise in constructive 
skill and workmanship, and for bringing people together into com- 
panionship with a common object that shall entertain them and pro- 
mote friendship. 
"No frivolous objects, these, in times when business cares, worries 
and suspicions make it necessary that a man should have a hobby 
that shall bring change and relaxation. 
"What is a middle-aged, gentle-mannered man to do? Is he to give 
up all pastime because he no longer delights in rougher sport? Is he 
to be obliged to always go and watch others, and never have a hand 
in anything himself? No! Model yachting provides a healthy chan- 
nel for him yet to have sport and recreation, and so may it flourish. 
"I hope my gossip may repay you for sending me news from 
America, for which I am much indebted. With greeting to all model 
yachtsmen of America, Thos. A. Bruce." 
Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. 
SECOND ANNUAL MEETING, NEW YORK, NOV. 15-16. 
The spcond annual meeting of the Society of Naval Architects and 
Marine Engineers was opened on Nov. 15, with President Clement A. 
Griscom in the chair, at the house of the American Society of Mechan- 
ical Engineers, West Thirty-first street, New York; the lecture room 
and parlors being well filled with naval and professional men. Mr. 
Griscom, after calling the meeting to order, addressing the members 
as follows: 
Gentlemen— I accept with pride and pleasure the honor you confer 
by again selecting me to preside over the Society of Naval Architects 
and Marine Engineers. 
The time which you will require to properly consider the large 
number of important and valuable contributions to our proceedings, 
which will be laid before you at this meeting, warns me to limit myself 
to a few general remarks. 
The gratifying progress and encouraging condition of this Society 
demand notice. We begin our second year with an addition of 6 
new members and associates, making our membership at present 
consist of 4(30 members and associates, and 6 juniors, a total of 466. 
Your Council has regarded the publication of a volume of the 
transactions of the Society at its first meeting, such a volume as 
would be of substantial value to the members, as its most important 
function since your last meeting, and they hope (notwithstanding the 
unfortunate delay in its issue), that the volume meets with your 
approval. 
You will note from the report of the treasurer that practically the 
whole expenditure has been for printing and such services as must be 
obtained by other than patriotic considerations, and it should be 
borne in mind that, to maintain the standard we have adopted, it is 
necessary and desirable that our membership should continue to in- 
crease. 
In a brief introductory address it Is not my intention or desire to 
burden you with any statistics of ship building progress during the 
past year; indeed it would be a mournful recital, for this branch of 
industry has suffered severely from the general depression that has 
prevailed throughout our land, but from papers announced to be read 
you will doubtless derive some very definite idea as to what we need 
for the development of our naval and mercantile marine. 
The increasing love for yachts and yachting, and especially the very 
great interest taken in the recent international yacht races, are sure 
indications of our natural love of the sea, and with the growth of this 
spirit must surely come the natural ambition to see the American 
flag flying upon American merchantmen in every harbor on the 
globe. 
The naval battle which has recently occurred in the war between 
Japan and China is of surpassing interest, not only to naval men and 
members of this society, but also to our citizens in general as estab- 
lishing the value and necessity of an adequate naval force. 
The information at present at hand, though sufficient to arouse 
some controversy as to the value of types of ships, cannot be regarded 
as sufficient to form an opinion, or even to lead to serious question as 
to the relative advantages of battle ships and cruisers. 
It will be necessary to have accurate information in regard to more 
than one battle before the confidence of naval men is In the least 
shaken in the greatly preponderating efficiency of armed vessels. 
There are points of the highest and most essential value, however, 
brought out by the battle of the Yalu River. Those which most im- 
press me are, the immediate strategical and actual results, due to the 
fact that Japan possessed a large and capable modern fleet, and that 
it was thoroughly prepared for actual service, not only with munitions 
of war, but also with skillful and well-trained officers and men. 
These are the lessons which can be brought home to our country- 
men. It should be understood that a modern naval force, with all 
its multitude of equipment, arms, munitions and accessories, cannot 
be produced on the spur of the moment, but is the product of naval 
architects, steel-makers, and a host of others whoBe skill can only be 
obtained by experience. 
It must not be overlooked that the personal element in warfare, as 
in peace, is an all-powerful one, sometimes predominating, sometimes 
secondary, but always of the greatest importance, and, therefore, an 
adequate navy is necessary, not only for the actual representation of 
power and force, but also to secure to our officers and men those 
superior nautical aptitudes only to be obtained by such continued ex- 
perience at sea as made heroes of Hull, Decatur and Farragut. 
The full development of a naval force, however, is not possible un- 
less the growth of the merchant marine has kept pace with the 
naval development. My quotation of the words of Sir Nathaniel Bar- 
naby in my address to you last year: "No nation could maintain an 
efficient navy without a prosperous commercial marine to support 
it," has still the force of an axiom. 
And it should not be overlooked that in time of war the conversion 
of fast mail steamers into armed cruisers is generally recognized 
among all maritime nations as a most formidable means of offense or 
defense for any country so f ortuate as to possess them. 
Moreover, to provide the expansion of naval personnel rendered 
necessary in time of war, there must be a well-trained merchant 
marine to draw upon, and those nations which have not encouraged 
shipbuilding and shipowning in times of peace must inevitably suffer 
from their short-sighted and narrow policy when confronted with a 
jiowerful and hostile fleet. 
A technical society of this kind has no raison d'etre if there are no 
ships to build, and, if its labors in a purely technical field result in re- 
awakening general interest in the development of our great maritime 
resources, there will be little doubt that the inception and growth of a 
society of this land is a national blesBing. 
The opening paper, "Some Suggestions of Professional Experience 
in Connection with the Naval Construction of the last Ten Years— 
1884—1894," read by Rear Admiral Richard W. Meade, proved to be 
the most interesting of the whole two days, evoking a wartn and 
lengthy discussion, \dmiral Meade spoke first of the reluctance and 
delay in this country in abandoning wood for iron construction - and 
of the recent progress in thf manufacture of steel. He then took up 
the question of the vessels necessary to the navy, especially from the 
point of coast defence, suggesting seven different, classes: Armored 
ships, high speed rams partially armored, torpedo vessels of at least 3 
classes, high speed cruisers, to be drawn from the merchant marine, 
cruisers of rhoderate speed with good auxiliary sail power, gunboats 
of light draft, and finally storn and training ships, practice vessels, 
tugs, etc. A very thorough outline of this scheme was presented, the 
essential qualities of each class being ranged in order of merit, in 
discussing the 4th class. Admiral Meade criticised the new triple 
screw vessels, expressing a doubt as to their claims of economy, and 
also as to their ability to overhaul such passenger steamers as the 
Majestic and Teutonic; as well as their superiority in battle over such 
a vessel as the American Liner New York, when fitted for war pur- 
poses as a commerce destroyer. 
The discussion which followed the paper was both animated and 
interesting, the especial point of attack being Admiral Meade's criti- 
cism of the triple screw vessels. The second paper wai on "The Use 
of Small Models for the Determination of Curves of Stability," by 
Mon. E. Bertin, Director of the French Government School of Naval 
Design; after which followed one on "Some Obstacles to Shipbuilding 
and Owning in this Country," by Geo. W. Dickie, Esq., Naval Archf 
tect, San Francisco, Cal., both read by Secfy Capps in the absence of 
the authors. 
A particularly interesting paper was read by Mr. S Dana Greene' 
late ensign U. S. N., on "Electricity on Shipboard— Its Present Posi- 
tion and Future Development," "Cellulose and Its Application to 
Warships," was the title of a paper by Mon. E. Cheneau, Philadelphia, 
Pa., the day's session closing 1 with Engineer-in-Chief Melville's paper 
on "The U. S. Triple-screw Cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis." 
The first paper on Friday was entitled "A Dynamic Steam Engine 
Indicator Tester," by Professor Cecil H Peabody and Assistant Pro- 
fessor E. F. Miller, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chief 
Constructor Philip Hichborn, U. S. N., then read a paper on "Experi- 
ence Gained with Our New Steel Ships as Regards Care and Preserva- 
tion," which brought out an interesting discussion on experiments in 
the preservation of iron and steel, and in composite construction. The 
paper on "The Present Status of Face-Hardened Armor," by W. T. 
Sampson, Captain and Chief of Ordnance. U. S. N., was read by Sec'y 
Capps, following which was one on "Hydraulic Power for Warships," 
by Naval Constructor Albert W. Stahl, which provoked considerable 
adverse discussion. Naval Constructor Baxter's paper, "Notes on 
Launching," was listened to attentively, the details of the launching of 
some of the new naval vessels being very interesting. 
Yachting was represented by a paper on "Yachts in England and 
America" by Mr. Lewis Nixon, the designer of the Cramp Shipbuild- 
ing Co., in which the methods of measurement and the typical yachts 
of the two nations were compared. Mr. Nixon Bpoke very strongly 
in favor of the "one-gun" start, and also against the centerboard. In 
the discussion which followed Col. E. A. Stevens, the son of the late 
Edwin A. Stevens, and nephew of the late John C. Stevens, the 
founders of the New York Y. O, and builders of the Maria and 
America, criticised the conditions under which the America's Cup is 
now offered under the new deed of gift, comparing them with the 
original conditions under which the Cup was first devoted to the en- 
couragement of international competition. The session closed with 
the reading of a paper on "The Accessibility and Circulation of Water 
Tube Boilers," by L. D. Davis, inventor of the Davis boilers, and one 
on "Recent Light-Draught Gunboats of the U. S. Navy," by J. J. 
Woodward, Naval Constructor, U. S. Navy. A paper by Prof. Durant 
was read by title, after which the meeting adjourned. The annual 
dinner of the Society took place at the Brunswick in the evening. 
The Centerboard. 
The following remarks. by_ Mr. Lewis G. Nixon, chief designer of 
the Cramp Shipbuilding Co. in the course of his paper on "Yachts in 
America and England," read before the Society of Naval Architects 
and Marine Engineers last week, are likely to give rise to considerable 
comment and discussion among yachtsmen. 
"We find that the yachts of England and America are becoming 
more and more alike, or in other words, that points of superiority are 
quickly appropriated by rival designers. 
"On one point, however, we find a very radical difference — that is, 
in the use of the centerboard. While for 'shallow harbors and cruis- 
ing work a centerboard is a convenience, it is unfortunate that it 
should be considered essentially American, or that our success should 
be so often attributed to it. A heavy centerboard like that of Vigilant 
is a positive drawback. It greatly increases the draft, and where a 
vessel with a deeper draft than Vigilant could have gone, we find her 
striking the bottom when her centerboard was down. Its great 
weight (3J4 tons) when lowered was doubtless an aid to stiffness, but 
the same amount of stiffness could have been obtained in another 
way. The attention required tends to detract the mind of whoever is 
in charge, and it requires men to handle it who might better be em- 
ployed otherwise. 
"There is another and, in my estimation, more important objection 
to the centerboard than any yet suggested. It is a device which, so far 
as the true aim of yachting is concerned, is neither seamanlike nor 
sportsmanlike. 
"The true aim of yachting or yacht racing is to develop alike <he 
art of the na»al architect and the skill and alacrity of the sailor in 
turning to use nature's own motive power at sea— the wind. This aim 
presupposes a hull of simple lines and sections which shall be per- 
manently uniform or the same under all conditions: that is to say, a 
keel boat The centerboard violates this principle flagrantly. It is a 
mechanical device not properly a part of the vessel, disturbing the 
interior economy of the boat, creating problems in design and con- 
struction that are extraneous and alien to the true art, and requiring 
appliances and practices in maneuvering that do not in any sense per- 
tain to seamanship proper. In a word, it is the introduction of 
mechanics into a science which is intended to deal purely and pri- 
marily with the forces and the difficulties of nature alone. 
"From this point of view I do not hesitate to declare that in any in- 
ternational race calculated to contest the question of supremacy in 
maneuvering sailing vessels, it would be quite as sportsmanlike for 
one party to provide his boat with a surreptitious storage battery to 
operate a small auxiliary propeller to help along in a drifting match, 
as with a device whereby he can increase or decrease at will the 
wetted surface, and with the lateral or longitudinal resistance of his 
boat according to the requirements of his point of sailing. One is 
quite as mechanical as the other, and hence they would be equally 
unsportsmanlike and urseamanlike." 
The centerboard, Mr. Nixon stated, originated in a clumsy device of 
the early navigators of the North Sea, whose boats were simply tubs, 
and the only way they could be kept on any course was by hanging a 
barn door over the lee rail. "Surely such a device, originating from 
such conditions, cannot be a good pattern for sportsmen in efforts to 
develop naval architecture. While it is true that there is the ex- 
pedient side of this question, which is that a vessel of 13ft. draught or 
over is of but little use, except for international racing, it is also true 
that, even with a centerboard, to be successful in future international 
races it seems almost necessary to go to greater depths in order to 
lower the ballast. If this is so, it seems desirable to cut loose and 
design an American keel boat for international racing." 
Lord Dunraven's Letter. 
On Nov, 13 the special committee to consider and reply to Lord 
Dunraven's letter met for the first time at the office of ex-Com. Jas. 
D. Smith, who presided, there being present Messrs. Canfleld, Fish, 
Tarns and Kortright. Both Gen. Paine and Mr. Philip Schuyler notified 
the committee by letter that they would be unable to serve, and 
Messrs. Archibald Rogers and 0. Oliver Iselin were elected to fill the 
vacancies. The discussion of the Dunraven letter was private at this 
meeting, and at a second one on Nov. 15, at which all of the committee 
were present but Mr. Rogers. At this latter meeting a letter to Lord 
Dunraven was drawn up. which he will probably receive about Nov. 
26, the contents in the meanwhile being kept private. According to a 
published interview. Gen. Paine approves of the suggestion that the 
challenger be permitted to select the fastest of several yachts, and 
also of that of a measurement with crew aboard, but not of the one- 
gun start. . From all reports, Mr. Watson has not completed a design 
for Lord Dunraven, and no work has been begun. It is reported, but 
without confirmation, that the Prince of Wales has ordered a new 
cutter, narrower than Britannia, for next year. Britannia is now out 
at Hansen's yard, Cowes, where her copper has been stripped and re- 
placed by new; and she will fit out in season for the Mediterranean 
races. 
YACHT NEWS NOTES. 
Giralda, Capt. McCalmont's new steam yacht, is credited with a 
speed of 21 knots with little vibration on the trial trip She will take 
part in the Mediterranean regattas in March. 
Alcyone, steam yacht, of Philadelphia, is reported at Guantanamo, 
after being towed into Baracoa a derelict. 
On Nov. 9 a club called the Revere Y. C. was organized at Revere, 
Mass. 
The regular meeting of the Seawanhaka 0. Y. C- Was held on Nov. 
13 with Vice-Corn. Benedict in the chair. The meeting happened by 
chance to fall upon the birthday of Mr. L. F. d'OremieuIx. ex-secre- 
tary of the club, and the principal event of the evening was the pre- 
sentation by Mr. Tarns of a very handsome silver loving cup, with the 
following inscription: "Presented to Leon F. d'OremieuIx, 'Our Sec. t ' 
by some of his fellow members in the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht 
Club, as a mark of esteem and affection and of their appreciation of 
his ten years of service as secretary from 1884tolS94." After the 
routine business had been disposed of, on motion of Mr. d'OremieuIx 
a committee was appointed to confer, if possible, with committees of 
the New York, Atlantic and Larchmont clubs over the revision of the 
code of yacht routine. 
The largest sailing yacht in the world is now preparing for a pleas- 
ure cruise among the South Sea Islands. It is the Vine, owned by 
John Burns, of San Francisco, and she is being made ready in the 
estuary off the foot of Washington street. She is of 500 tons burden, 
with a length of 120ft. | She was built three years ago in Tacoma for a 
merchantman and traded between that city and Central and South 
• America until last spring. At that time her owner decided that he 
wanted to turn her into a pleasure yacht. The style is that of a 
revenue cutter, and very heavy. She carries 8,000 gallons of water, 
and when the deck house is completed will carry 45 passengers nicely, 
with a crew of 11. They will touch at Hawaii, Marquesas, Union , 
Ellice, Gilbert and Marshall islands, making fully 10,000 miles. The 
equipment will cost fully $40 000 when she is ready for the trip. Mr. 
Burns expects to set sail about Dec. l.—San Prancisco Chronicle. 
New York Schuetzen Corps. 
New York, Nov. 17. — The New York Schuetzen Corps, Capt. Henry 
Offermann, inaugti-ated its winter gallery practice in the Zettler gal- 
lery last night. The-e was a large attendance of the shooting element 
of the corps and the result was a most satisfactory evening's sport. 
Up to last winter the corps had never given any attention to gallery 
practice, but had confined all rifle practice to outdoor shooting on the 
200yds. ranges during the summer season only. Early last winter 
some of the active members of the corps decided to bring the members 
together for gallery practice. Accommodations were secured with 
the Zettler Bros, in their gallery, and a system of bi-monthly shoots 
inaugurated. The shoot was carried on independent of the corps 
Itself and funds received from the members participating was held as 
a reserve for the purpose of purchasing prizes to be distributed among 
the members participating at tbe end of the season. 
The result of the shoot last season was so satisfactory that when 
the outdoor season closed this fall Capt, Offerman and his board of 
officers decided to make this winter's shoot a corps affair and if pos- 
sible bring all of the members into the competition. 
The coming National Shooting festival which opens in Glendale 
Park, L. I , next July, is a strong lever which is being used to bring 
the members of the corps into line for this season's shoot. The gal- 
lery rifle is the bust possible medium with which to educate the inex- 
perienced shooter, and the Zettler gallery, its appointments combined 
. with the experience of the two Zettler brothers, is by far the moat 
favorable location to secure such education. 
The programme of the corps for this winter's shoot is of such a 
nature as to place the novice as near upon a par with the expert as it 
is possible to put him. 
Included in the programme is a series of team shoots which takes 
place at each meeting in which all the members present are divided 
into two teams. 
It was our pleasure to be present at the opening shoot on Friday 
night. We congratulate Captain Offerman and his shooting commit- 
tee upon the Buccess of the opening event. We append the scores of 
the teams shooting in the two matches shot during the evening. Capt. 
Offer man's team against Capt. Tholke. two matches, scores:

The Zettlers in the Gallery. 
New York, Nov. 14.— The Zattler Rifle Club headquarters last even- 
ing was a scene of lively interest to the many riflemen who were 
present. It was the regular monthly meeting night also for the 
weekly gallery competition. There was the usual group of regulnrs 
who can always be found lined up ready for business when there is a 
prospect for a little argument with the rifle. One of the interesting 
features of the club meeting was the election to the membership of 
the club of Justice Geo. F Roesch. Judge Roesch in one of his 
characteristic speeches spoke of the Zettler Club as the most famous 
of all American rifle associations, and that he joined the club with the 
hope that he too might in the future become sufficiently proficient in 
the use of the rifle as to class himself as one of the experts. With 
the adjournment of the meeting came the competition for the club 
prizes in the winter season shoot. 
Messrs, Holges, Ross and Dorrler who thus far in the weekly competi- 
tions have had a close race for first position were on hand and by 
good holding put up some fine scores. Holges got rather the best of 
the argument on the total for the best five scores. 
In the competition for the champion medal for the best score on the 
first entry, the honor was divided between Messrs. Dorrler and 
Flach, each with 245. Holges and Flach tied for the high score of the 
night, each with 247, Scores:

In the Gallery. 
Green villis, N. J., Nov. 20.— There was a close and interesting gal- 
lery match between four members of the Greenville Rifle Club shot 
on the club ranges on Saturday night of last week. The four men were 
divided up into two teams, Dorrler and Chavant against Plaisted and 
Collins. The conditions of the match called for 100 shots Der man.

Greenville, N. J., Nov. 17.— The Greenville Rifle Club held its
