FOREST AND STREAM. 
[April 3, 1897." 
AMEKICAN' MODEL Y. C— Forest and Stream Exhibit. 
three in number, was passed. The following resolution was 
offered by Elbridge T. Gerry: 
Whereas, There is a plan for certain improvements of the 
harbor of Newport, R. I., which plan contemplates, among 
other things, the building of a solid masonry pier 600 ft. long 
and 35ft. broad, the pier to be utilized for carrying out a 
new sewer; which pier, it is stated, would be built largely 
for the additional facilities it would give visiting yachtsmen; 
and it is apparent that should the proposed pier be built, it 
would reduce the available anchorage ground materially 
and would further, by the carrying of the sewage into the 
harbor at this point, endanger the health of the crews of an- 
choring vessels; now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the opinion of the New York Y. 0. that 
the building of said pier would be of no material benefit to 
yachtsmen, and that it is further inexpedient to build the 
pier on account of the loss of anchorage room and the dan- 
ger to health. 
JResolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the 
chair to present these resolutions to and to confer with the 
proper authorities for the purpose of securing the abandon- 
ment of the plan, if possible; or, failing in that, to obtain 
such modification thereof as they may think necessary and 
proper. 
The resolution was adopted, and Messrs. Gerry, Stephen 
Peabody and G. L. Rives were appointed. 
Vice-Corn. Ledyard announced that Com. Morgan was de- 
sirous that the annual cruise be coutinued eastward from 
Vineyard Haven to Bar Harbor, and to that end would offer 
three prizes of $3,000 for schooners, $1,000 for- the larger 
classes of cutters and $1,000 for the smaller classes, for a race 
around Cape Cod to some Eastern port. Com. Morgan also 
proposes to give a prize for a steam yacht race if a suitable 
system of allowances can be arranged. 
The following members were elected: A. Hart McKee, 
Frederick L. M. Masury, Josiah M. Lasell, J. Pierpont Mor- 
gan, Jr., Temple Bowdom, Robert Bacon, Harry S. Thomp- 
son, William H. Osgood, William H. Fletcher and Alfred R 
Whitney, Jr. 
Marietta III. 
The new steel steamer Marietta III, , designed by H. J. 
Gielow for H. B. Moore, of the New York and Atlantic 
yacht clubs, was launched on March 27 at the Erie Basin 
Dry docks, where she was built by the John M. Robins Co. 
The yacht is the largest as well as the handsomest that Mr. 
Gielow has yet designed, being far superior to his two pre- 
ceding boats of the same name. She is 173ft. 6in. over all, 
140ft. l.w.l., 18ft. beam, 7ft. 9in. draft, with four-cylinder 
triple expansion engine and single screw. The two boilers 
were built by the Roberts Safety Water Tube Boiler Co., 
which has furnished the boilers for four of Mr. Moore's 
yachts. The hull work was carried out under the direction 
of Capt. W. D. Dickey, superintendent of the yard, which 
speaks for its character. 
The Tacht Racing Union. 
The new book of rules of the Yacht Racing Union of Long 
Island Sound has just been published. The Union now in- 
cludes twenty clubs, whose stations are on Long Island 
Sound, The Council has sent out the following notice: 
Office of the Secketart of the Council of the Yacht 
Racing Union of Long Island Sound, New York, March 
31.— Special Notice to Representatives: On Jan. 18 you were 
requested by circular to furnish the Council witha list of 
the sailing yachts of your club, so that racing numbers 
could be allotted them before the commencement of the 
season. This list I have not received from you. 
It is of paramount importance that this information be 
furnished not later than April 5. It is purposed to number 
all sailing yachts enrolled in Sound clubs and other clubs 
sailing under rules uniform with those of the Union. This list 
should be as complete as possible, and comprise the follow- 
ing information: Name of yacht; name and address of 
owner; rig; racing length, if measured; class, if not 
measured; whether cabin or open. 
Please give this notice immediate attention. 
I have recorded the following dates as having been selected 
by your club for open races during the coming season: An- 
nual regatta, . Special races, . 
Please inform me by April 15 whether the annual regatta 
will be for all classes, or classes under a certain length, and 
for what classes the special races will be given. I would be 
glad to know the name and address of the chairman of the 
regatta committee of your club for this year. It is hoped to 
have the racing schedules ready for distribution by May 1.

The American Model Y. C. Eichibit. 
The accompanying illustration could not be prepared in 
time for our last issue, but shows the very interesting ex- 
hibit of the American Model Y. C. in connection with the 
Forest AND Stream exhibit at the Sportsmen's Exposition. 
The upper pair of half models were made of galvanized iron, 
Kerosene Stoves for Tachts. 
Annapolis, Md., March 15.— Editor Forest and Stream: 
Your paper does not, I am sorrjr to say, contain any adver- 
tisement of makers of kerosene oil cooking stoves and outfits 
for yachts too small for regular coal galley. 
The "Florence," years ago, used to be excellent (especially 
for broiling, having a special broiler that did not smoke the 
meat or allow drip), but I am not aware of its being made 
now or where. Would you kindly inform me of the maker 
of the best article of this kind now on sale, as I need one in 
fitting out this spring. 
Thanking you for any trouble, J. Buchanan Henry. 
[We will be glad to hear from any of our readers who have 
had practical experience with the later makes of kerosene 
stoves.] 
YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
W. B. Stearns, the Marblehead builder, is now turning 
out a fleet of one-design craft of the Scarecrow type, but of 
his own design. The boats are 33ft. 6in. over all, 16ft. l.w.l., 
5ft. 6in. beam, and 4ft. draft including the fin, which is 
fixed. They are rigged with mainsail and jib, the latter set 
on a short bowsprit. The lines are excellent, showing an 
easy form, with considerable deadrise, a good freeboard and 
fair sheer. The cockpit is above the waterline. Mr. Stearns 
has planned a construction that admits of rapid work when 
many boats are to be built, aiid yet is thorougbly strong 
the hull being built over a last and the bulbs cast in an iron 
mould. By this means he is able to offer a boat complete for 
$!250. These little craft offer an excellent opportunity to 
clubs that wish to establish one-design classes, as the price is 
very reasonable. Five are already ordered. 
The Gilbert's Bar Y. G. held its usual monthly meeting 
and regatta on Saturday, March 13. In the first class, 23ft. 
and over, three boats entered:

In addition to the two large boilers for the steam yacht 
Marietta III., the Roberts Safety Water Tube Boiler Co. are 
busy with the boilers and machimery for the schooner Hilde- 
garde, now being converted to an auxiliary under the direc- 
tion of H. C. Wintringham for Vice-Com. Whitlock, Atlan- 
tic Y. C. The firm has also in hand a boiler for the passen- 
ger steamer Martha, building at Yonkers by C. E. Pearsall 
for his own use. This vessel will have a compound engine 
designed by Thos. Flaron, the old oarsman and shell buUder, 
who of late years has turned his attention to marine engines 
with marked success. 
The Spalding St. Lawrence Boat Co. has recently added to 
its forces at the Ogdenaburgh shops Mr. L. K. Young, of 
Bridgeport, Conn., so widely known as a maker of hollow 
spars. Mr. Young is a practical yachtsman and a skillful 
sailor in open racing boats, and his large experience has re- 
sulted in many improvements in blocks, fittings, etc., as well 
as in spars. 
The annual meeting of the New Jersey Y. C. was held at 
the club house at the foot of Tenth street, Hoboken, on 
March 25, the following being elected officers: Com., Alfred

Rifle Notes. 
The Springfleld (Mass.) !77ijan, of March 85 contains the foUowinff 
note relative to Stevens ritles ac tbe Sportsmen's Expogition- "The 
J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co , of the Falls, is much pleased at the 
success which its rifles.and other arms had at the recent sportsmen's 
exhibit in New York city, as three out of the five shooting contests 
which were held were won by Michael Dorrler, of Greenville, N J 
with the Stevens rifle. Mr. Dorrler also broke t^vo rpcords. In the 
individual shoot the previous record was sJ,420 out of a possible 2 500 
but in winning this contest he made the remarkable score 2 4Jl'l-0' 
He also broke the record in tbe bullseye target shoot. The rifle be- 
longing to Dr. Hodges, of lndianapoh=. attracted as much attention 
as anything at the show. A wealthy New York gentleman, who saw 
the rifle, has sent an order to tbe company for a similar rifle and will 
have it engravrd by the same Japanese workm^B wbo did the work
