Building from Sailing 3 Models. 
PhiijAdelphia, Pa. — Editor Forest and Stream: At the 
aonual meeting of the Philadelphia Model Y. C. on Jan. 7 
the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing 
year: Cona., Wm. Porter; Vice-Com., F. Warren Snow; 
Sec'yTreas., Arthur B. Carles, 859 West street, Philadel- 
phia, Pa. 
The club is in a prosperous condition, having an enroll- 
ment of fifteen active members, nineteen sailing models and 
four steamers, with a magnificent sailing station on the Del- 
aware, located at Beideman Station, Camden & Amboy Di- 
vision, Pennsylvania R E,, where all visiting model yachts- 
men will be welcomed on any Saturday afternoon or Sunday 
after May 1. 
In the Forest and Stream of Jan. 9 it is stated that the 
American Model Y. C. is going to build a 20-f ooter from the 
best performing model yacht. This will not be the first 
thus built, as in 1889 Prof. Koenig, University of Pennsyl 
vania, an enthusiastic model yachtsman and a member of the 
Philadelphia M. Y. C, had a small cutter (28ft. 6in. 1 w.l.) 
built from the lines of his model Viking. There were no 
changes made, the lines were followed faithfully, and the 
result was a perfectly seaworthy cruiser, the owner and his 
son making the passage from Cooper's Point, Camden (where 
she was built), to Bar Harbor, Me., touching at Vineyard 
Haven, and stiipping a man to act as pilot around the Cape, 
He was left at Marblehead and Viking proceeded to Bar 
Harbor, experiencing heavy weather coming around Cape 
Cod, but ^'never parted a rope yarn." 
The owner stated that the only mistake made was in her 
sail plan. Shewas under-canvased. This defect was rem- 
edied the following summer, and for two years she held her 
own around Bar Harbor with boats of her class, eventually 
meeting an untimely end on the rocks in a fog, being sailed 
for the first time by a new owner. I merely call attention 
to the above facts to show that if the A. M. Y. C.'s boat is a 
success, she will not have been the first by eight years.
