able opinion; but I caught a little of 'the talk and -wished 'I 
cou^d hear more. 
"No bil^e to her," "too fhort on the Tfpcl," "never 'II cw- 
ry lier sail," "shf'll go straiffht to the bottom wilh all that 
iron on her," were some of the commenls. The location of 
the iron at the forward end of the keel -was a matter 
of frequent critieism, and it was g'enerally prophesied that 
sbe would be "all down by the head." One old sea captain, 
"who T am sure wished me nil suoceos^ said, after seeing her 
launched, that he "wouldn't go to Portland in h' r for all the 
g»ld she would carry, for sbe wouldn't stand up under her 
sailB, let alone any breeze." 
Onp of my helpers, to whom T had loaned some copies of 
the Forest" AND Stream, and who has a great deal of intel- 
ligence, "stuck to it," as his brother afterward told me, 
"that Mr. M. had got bold of something " I fancy he bad 
to endure some friendly joking from his neighbors, and if his 
faith was firm all the time it was more than 1 can say for 
myself.

The Y. R. U. Rules. 
The following atnpndments to the racing rules have been recom- 
mendPd by the Council of the Y. R. A., and will be passed upon atthe 
general meeting next month. The original proposals have been ma- 
terially raodifled in some cases in order to avoid a conflict with the 
new restrictiops recently adopted by the Larchmont and New York 
yacht clubs. On this account the original proposal to measure all 
yachts with crew on board has been modified, the limit being placed 
at the 30ft. class, as in thn other clubs, as only harm could result 
from any conflict between different clubs in the form of two methods 
of measuring the same yachts. 
As the small yachts will hereafter be included under the regular 
rules, a new method of measurement for jib-headed mainsails has 
been proposed, permitting of the direct application of the Seawanha- 
ka rule to this rig. as well as to the gaff mainsail. The classiflcation 
is identical with that of the two clubs, being in fact the same as the 
Union has used for two years. 
The abolition of time allowance between new yachts, with other of 
the proposals, we have already commented on in connection with 
other clubs. 
RULE n.— MBASTJHEMENT. 
Add to Section 2: All yachts in the SOtt. and lower classes shall be

ixiard equivalent thereto. 
Section 8, new par. 7: In yachts having jibheaded mainsail, the 
upper point of measurement in taking the perpendicular shall be the 
tmder side of the shpave in the highest jib halyard or spinaker block, 
and 80 per cent, of the distance from this point to the under side of the 
sheave in the highest halyard block on the mast, or, when a yard is 
used, to the end of the yard when hoisted in place, shall be added to 
the base line.

not apply to any yacht launched prior to Nov. 1, 1896, when racing in 
the class in which she was classifled prior to that time. This exemp-

multiplied by 2 and added to the length "^f the l.w l.; provided, how- 
ever, that in no case shall this excess be more than 10 per cent, of the 
draft given for her respective c'ass. On all yachts launched after 
Nov. 1. 1896, there shall be placed upon the hull, and immediately over 
the point of greatest draft, a metal p'ate or other distinct mark. 
Such mark shall be placed above the l.w 1. and within 6in. of it, and 
the owner shall furnish to the regatta committee, if required, a cer- 
tificate of the vessel's draft to such mark, signed by himself, the de- 
signer, or the builder of the yacht. 
RULE XXX.— PRIZES.

The Principles of Tacht Measurement. 
Mditor Forest and Stream; 
The new measu'-ennent formula recommended by the Council of the 
British Y. R. A. furnished a good Illustration of the defects in the 
type of measurement rules in general use to-day. This formula was 
made by the best yachting experts, the same class of men who have 
heretofore made several other similar formulee which have been fail- 
ures. 
It must be assumed that they have a definite object in view: and it 
may not be a violent assumption to state it substantially as follows: 
"Our purpose is (1) to make a rule by which we can fairly meastire 
yachts of different form which race together; (2) to encourage the 
building of wholesome yachts. The proportions of the ideal yacht of 
this Association lie within the following limits, viz: beam, from — to 
— per cent, of l.w.l. ; over-all length, fr om — to — per cent, of l.w.l. ; 
draft, from — to — per cent, of l.w.l.; Vgail area, from — to — per 
cent, of l.w.l.; immersed area of mid-section, from — to — percent, 
of circi'mscribing rectangle, etc. 
"Yachts hereafter built for competing in the races of this Associa- 
tion shall be within the foregoing dimensions." 
If this be the intent of the rule, why was it not better to say It in 
language that anyone can understand, with a certainty of receiving 
precise results, instead ol making it impossible to foresee the results 
by putting the building specifications or rpstrictions into the body of 
the following complicated mathematical formula, which it is also pro- 
posed to use for figuring out handicaps or time allowances, viz.: 
L.+1 2 B.-fGirth-fO 6 Vsf 
This type of formula is by its nature especially designed to encour- 
age the building of freaks and monsters oy allowing any dimensions 
to be enlarged to any extent by cutting down others. It does not 
effectively control, within reasonable limits, all the main elements of 
size, but Instead thereof regulates the aggregate of these elements. 
Sextant. 
Thus far no yachting body has been willing to Indorse such a state- 
ment as is set forth by our correspondent, that it believes in the 
restriction of the elements of design within certain fixed limits, 
maximum and minimum. This is done in certain special classes, and 
the New York and Larchmont clubs are now dealing with one ele- 
ment on this principle; but the position of the clubs of this country 
and Great Britain has always been against this type of rule and in 
favor of one in which the individual factors are unlimited and only the 
total is limited. 
'Wliich of the two methods is the better may be an open question. 
In spite of the failure of so many of the latter type, with unlimited 
factors, we have not yet seen any feasible proposition advanced for a 
formula of the former type, though a suggestion in this direction was 
made by the British designers In 1894. 
New York Y. C. 
A SPECIAL meeting of the New York Y, 0. was held on Nov. 5, at 
which the amendments to the racing rules adopted at the previous 
meeting were finally ratified. The following new amendments were 
also approved: 
Rule I., Section 4.— On the fifth line after the word "time" add: 
"This exemption, however, shall not be so construed as to permit a 
vessel launched prior to Oct. 22, 1896, to increase her draft beyond the 
Umit allowed for her class " 
Section 6.— Any yacht that Increases her measurement for the pur- 
pose of sailing in a class above that in which she would sail, according 
to the last oiBclal measurement taken prior to Nov. 1, 1896, shall not 
be entitled to any time allowance from other yachts in that class. 
Section 6 to be changed to section 7. 
Rule IV., Section 3 —On the first line after the word "prize" add the 
following: "Of full value." Should a yacht be obliged to sail alone 
in her class and should go over the course of her class, she shall be 
entitled to a prize of one-half the value of the regular prize, and upon 
same shall be inscribed "Walkover prize." 
Make a new section for the balance of section 4, to be known as sec- 
tion 5, and on the third line of same change the word "minimum" to 
"mean." 
Rule XVI., Section. 8.— At the end of the section add: "In order to 
prove beyond question that an overlap has been established, the 
owner or representative of the overtaking yacht shall hail the over- 
taken yacht, stating that he has an overlap and that he shall maintain 
his rights. The owner or representatives of an overtaking yacht in- 
tending to claim an overlap shall notify the overtaken yacht to that 
effect by hailing her." 
Sec. 14 —On the fourth line, after the word "mark," add "except as 
provided in Sec 15 " 
Sec 15.— Make a new section, to be 15 and to read: "When two 
yachfs in maneuvering for the start, both on the same tack, one to the 
windward and one to the leeward, and the weather yacht, being freer 
than the leeward yacht, should the leeward yacht be close hauled on 
the wind, and before an overlap has been established, the leeward 
yacht shall have the right to hold and maintain her course, even If 
thereby the windward yacht should be forced on the wrong side of 
the starting mark." 
Change the present Sec. 15 to 16, and Sec. 16 to 17. 
Sec. 16.— On the tenth and eleventh Unes strike out the words "or 
bear away." 
These latter amendments must be ratified at a later meeting. 
Massachusetts Y. R. A. 
At a meeting on Oct. 29 the Massachusetts Y. R. A. adopted the 
following class limits, to conform to the new measurement: 
First Class: Cabin yachts, 31ft. and under 29ft. sailing length (exist- 
ing open yachts of first class, 1896, may sail in this clans). 
Special Class: Open yachts, 20ft. and under 24ft. sailing length. 
Second Class: Cabin yachts, 30ft. and under 24ft. sailing length. 
Third Class: Yachts 17ft. and under SOtt. sailing length. 
Knockabout Class: Yachts of the Association complying with the 
restrictions of the Knockabout Association. 
Fourth Class: Yachts under 17ft. sailing length. 
The measurement of any yacht launched after Dec. 31, 1896, shall be 
assumed to be the larger limit of her class, so long as the present 
measurement and classiflcation are in force. The special class may 
carry no more than six men. 
Other amendments were adopted as follows: 
Entries must be made to the secretary of this Association, and mast 
specify name, owner, rig, amount and kind of ballast, crew, sailing 
length, etc., and the club to which she belongs. Such entry shafi 
answer for all races sailed under the rules of the Association for the 
season. A new entry must be made each year. 
A cabin yacht shall be defined as either an entirely flush-decked 
yacht with suitable cabin accommodations below deck, or a decked 
yacht with a permanent fixed cabin house, with sides not less than 
one-half the yacht's sailing length, and in breadth not less than two- 
thirds of yacht's beam on deck, and shall have watertight cockpit 
with its deck above the load waterline. 
YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Foil many a large and handsome yacht has lost her owner because 
he has tired of her, or again because a reduced income forced him to 
abandon the extravagant luxury; but here is one that, losing her mas- 
ter by his untimely death, has been specially provided for in her de- 
clining years Steadfast unto the end, she was not sold off at half 
price to get rid of her, but, like a faithful dog or horse that has out- 
lived its days of usefulness, has been allowed to finish out her life in 
quiet repose. It is only a few years ago that the sctiooner yacht Daunt- 
less was one of the very stanchest boats afl jat. Now, with sails forever 
furled, with pennants hauled down for the last time and house can- 
vased over, she tugs at an anchor that seems destined never to rise 
again. Her master was In life Com. Caldwell H. Colt, the only child of

tip entirely to the manufacture of horseless vehicles and stationary 
iBhgines, two lines of which the company make specialties. To accom- 
modate the launch department of the business an entirely new plant 
will be erected at once, the ground having a frontage of 300 ft. on 
Bowery Bay, with a depth of 276ft The new building sh ->ps will be 
on this property, and will afford faeilities for constructing power 
yachts and launches up to 150ft. In connection with them will be a 
yard for winter storage of yachts, with wavs and transfer tracks 
operated by the company's motors. There will be a secure basin for 
small yachts, witn a draft of 6ft. at low water, and for the winter 
mooring of large yachts a bulkhead will be built out 400ft into Bowery 
Bay, with an L at the end affording every protection, the inclosed 
space being dredged to a deprh of 10ft. at low water. The firm h&g 
now orders for two launches of 80ft. leng'h, one of 43ft., two of 35ft.,

have recently consolidated under the name of the Toledo Yachting 
Association, and the charter of the old Ohio Y C The new organiza- 
tion numbers 300 members, with a fleet of fifty yachts. Its formation 
is likely to do much for yachting on the lakes, Toledo being favorably 
located for a yachting center. 
Gen. Joseph T, Torrence, of Chicago, who died on Oct. 31 after a 
brief illness, was greatly interested in steam yachting, and had just 
placed an order with the Racine Boat Mfg. Co., builders of the suc- 
cessful Pathfinder, for a steel steam yacht of 200ft. length, 19ft. beam 
and 10ft draft, with a speed of 26 miles.

The A. C. A. Executive Committee Meeting* 
The date originally set for the meeting of the executive 
committe of the Acnerican Canoe Association, Nov 13> has 
been changed to Satur ay, Nov. 31, the place being Toronto, 
Canada. The meeting will be called to order at 10:80 A. M. 
at the house of the Toronto C. C. While there is littb busi- 
ness of importance outside of the ordinary routine of ar- 
rangements for the next meet of the Association to come 
before the meeting, it is very desirable that all of the divi- 
sions should be represented, and also that a majority of the 
Association officers should be present to take part in the dis- 
cussions. In spite of the long journey, we hope that the 
different members of the Division committees may raaise an 
effort to be prestnt, and that those who cannot will try to 
find proxies qualified to represent them. All visitors from 
the States may be sure of a hearty welcome at the hands of 
the Toronto canoeists.

Pacific Slope Riflemen. 
San FaANOisoo, Cal., Oct. 25 —The riflemen who visited the Shell 
Mound Range to day had some diffleult'es to overcome before making 
food scores. The shifting shadows caused by clouds passing over the 
ace of the sun, together with a varying wind, made the conditions 
somewhat unfavorable. 
COLUMBIA PISTOL AND RIPLK CLUB. 
Members of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club were out In force, 
and kept the markers on four targets busy all day. The majority of 
the matches were re-entry contests, so that owners of both rifles and 
pistols kept banging away until it was time to go home. The contest 
for the Ghndemann medal for military rifles has received a boom, 
several members of this club Pxpecting a challenge from another or- 
ganization, and military rifles being a weak point with the Columbias. 
J. E Gorman maoe his first efCo.-c with the musket to-day, and ran up 
twu strinajs oC 44 and 45, military count. F. H. Bushnell shot well, 
scoring 4.'5, 46 and 48 with the military arm. 
The casu prizes on flat's (innh c^nners) were valuable this month, a 
flag being worth over $6; F. O. Young had two of them, while Adolph 
Htrecker had another. 
In the BOyds. range, .33-c4liber rifles, the competition is very spirited. 
The leaders for the men's medal are E, Jacobson and Ed. Hovey: 
Mrs. L. J. Crane is well to the front for the ladies' medal. To day 
Mrs Crane did some capital work, bringing out three flags consecu- 
tively for inch centers, scoring 9 poiots. 
The scores in the different contests were as follows: 
]Rifle, SOOyds., TJnfred diamond medal, three shots, re-entry— W.
