very close to the main companion, leaving only 'about 15in. 
space by way of passage to the latter. 
Abaft the trunk is a very roomy cockpit, and there is a 
great deal of room farther aft for a sail-locker. The rudder 
Is of a peculiar pattern, practically unbalanced, but project- 
ing a couple of feet below the short sternpost and scag which 
support it. On deck forward there is a windlass of special 
design, worked by cranks and with powerful gears. The 
deck iron-work and fittings are specially designed for the 
yacht. The main chain-plates are Tobin bronze straps, 
placed on the inside of the planking. The sails were made 
by Lapthorne & Ratsey. The workmanship on the yacht, 
both in wood and metal, deserves special mention, and the 
builder is entitled to every credit for the manner in which 
the yacht has been constructed. The new l?ife-boat for Mr. 
Mills is now under way, the stem being framed up in the 
mould-loft and many of the stem, keel and other wooden 
members ready.

The second launch of the season at Morris Heights took 
place on April 22, the steam yacht Raynham, designed and 
built by the Gas Engine- and Power Co. and C. L. Seabury 
& Co., going overboard at 2 P. M. The vacht is of wood, 
schooner rigged, 85Et. over all, 72ft. l.w.l., 13ft. beam and 5tt. 
draft. The machinery includes a Seabury triple expansion 
engine and watertube boiler. Mr E. S. Woodward, the 
owner, will use the yacht on the Hudson, his country resi- 
dence being at Nyack.

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Uvira, cutter, purchased last fall from E, M. Lock wood 
by Clifford P. Brokaw, has been out all winter at Piepgrass' 
yard. City Island, where she has been fitted with new and 
longer spars and a comi)lete suit of new canvas, giving a 
considerable increase of sail spread. Some alterations have 
also been made below; the main saloon has been shortened 
a foot, giving room for pantry shelves in the after end of 
the forecastle, and the wash basin has been removed from 
the port side of the steerage and replaced by a smaller one 
in the w. c. on the starboard side. The galley has been 
fitted with a new and larger stove, and a very capacious ice- 
chest, a total increase of weight which must oSset much of 
the gain in sail area. The yacht will still race in the Sift, 
class, -receiving time from both Syce and the new Mills 
cutter. 
On April 19 a permanent association of both yachtsmen 
and oarsmen was formally organized in New York, as the 
result of a movement that has been under way for some 
time. The name is the Hudson River Boating and Yacht- 
ing A.ssociation,' and its objects are to protect the interests of 
aquatic organizations occupying property on the watpr 
front of New York city. The otlieers are: Pres , Edwald 
Langerfeld, Hudson River Y. C ; A'^ice-Pres., C, J. Coffey, 
Hudson Boat Club; Secy., W. H. Brady, Bloomingdale 
Boat Club; Treas., E. S. Peets, Hudson River Y. C. 
Nourmahal. steam vacht, arrived at New York on April 19 
from a cruise in the Gulf and the West Indies. 
The Bayonne Y. C. has elected the following officers: Com., 
William E. Elsworth; Vice-Com., Philip E. Van Buskirk; 
Treas., Frank H. Elsworth; Secy., Philip J. Mooney; Treas., 
George Elsworth. 
Navigation has reopened for the season and changes have 
been made on many steamers in the persotuiel of the engine 
room. There are nearly 1,000 Roberts boilers in use in steam 
vessels of all kinds, including passenger and freight steam- 
ers, tugs, yaclits, launche.«, dredges, canal boats, etc. On 
account of these changes some engineers will have charge of 
Roberts boilers for the first time, and we are requested to 
announce that the Roberts Safety Water Tube Boiler Co , of 
39 ifc 41 Cortlandt street. New York city, will cheerfully send 
a full set of their descriptive and instruction circulars to any 
engineer applying for same and giving his full name and 
address. There will be no charge, and no stamps will be re- 
quired. 
Pawnee, yawl, designed bj; H. J. Gielow and built last 
summer by G. H. Byles at City Island, has just been sold to 
Frank V. Alexandre, a young member of the Larchmont Y. 
C. Mr. Alexandre is a step-son of C. W. Flint, of the Larch- 
mont Y. C, and as a boy has done a great deal of crui>-it]g 
onJ.he various yachts owned and chartered by Mr. Flint. 
He has just attained his majority, and signalized it by be- 
coming a yacht owner himself. Pawnee is a deep center- 
board craft of 37fC. l.w.l., and with modern overhangs, roomy 
below; she is similar to the other Gielow yawl, Fidelio. 
Rambler, naphtha yacht, has been sold by Rear-Com. Ellis, 
Columbia Y. C, to J.'M. Foote, of Newark, N. J., through 
the Gas Engine & Power Co. 
The San Francisco Y. C. suffered a serious loss by fire la^t 
month, its club house at Sausalito being totally destroyed. 
The house was a historic feature of San Francisco yachting, 
well stored with models, books, pictures and records that 
can never be replaced. Arrangements have already been 
made to rebuild. The new house, designed by R. H. White, 
will be 76x65 ft., two stories high, with a large cupola; ana 
will contain ample accommodations for the members. Work 
Avill be commenced at once.

The Western Canoe Association. 
TnB following circular has just been sent to members by 
the secretary of the Western Canoe Association: 
MiLAVATJKBE, Wis.'. April 1. — Tho annual meeting of the 
Association, which should have been held at Mullet Lake in 
July, 1896, was not convened for want of a quorum. The 
old officers, consisting of C. F. Pennewell, Com.; N. H. 
Cook, Vice-Com.; E. H. Holmes, Rear-Com ; W. D. Stearns, 
Sec'v-Treas.; R. M. Lamp, C, J. Stedman, F. W. Dickens, 
continued to act until March 1, 1897. when Mr. Pennewell 
and Mr. Stearns resigned. By re.solution of the remaining 
members of the executive committee, N. H. Cook was ap- 
pointed Com. vice Pennewell, resigned; W. H. Crawford, 
Vice-Com. vice Cook, advanced; F. B. Huntington, Sec'y- 
Treas. vice Stearns, resigned. 
A .special meetina: of the exectative committee was held 
pursuant to call, March 11, 1897, at the club rooms of the 
Mahn-a-wauk C. C. of Milwaukee. There were present W. 
H. Crawford. Vice-Com.; E. H. Holmes. Rear-Com.; F. B. 
Huatiugton, Sec'y-Treas ; R. M. Lamp, F. W. Dickens. 
It was decided at this ineeting to hold a summer meet of 
ten days' duration .some time in Julv and at some place to 
be hereafter determined by a subcommittee of three. The 
secretary-treasurer was instructed to omit the customary 
publication of the Year Book, collect dues in arrears, and 
advise members by circular letter of the final decision of the 
committee respecting camp site and arrangements. Several 
sites are imder consideration, among which mav be men- 
tioned Lake Geneva, Wis.; Green Lake, Wis.; Pewaukee 
Lake, Wis. 
It is de.sirable to gain, as far as possible, an expression as 
to preference of date and location from those members who 
will attend a meet. You are particularlv requested, _ in re- 
mitting dues, a statement of which is inclosed, to advise the 
secretary of your individual and cluli preferences, to enable 
the committee to make a prompt decision. 
'The resignation of Vice-Com. Crawford was accepted, 
taking effect at termination of meeting, and E. H. Holmes 
advanced to the office. R. L. Merrill was then elected rear- 
commodore to fill the vacancy caused by Holmes's advance- 
ment. The executive committee, as at present constituted, 
is as follows: N. H. Cook. Com , Chicago, III.; E. H. Holmes, 
Vice-Com., Milwaukee, Wis.; R. L. Merrill, Rear-Com., Mil- 
waukee, Wis ; Py B. Huntington, Sec'y-Treas, Milwaukee, 
Wis.; R. M. Lamp. Madison, Wis.; C. J. Stedman, Cincin- 
nati. O ; P. W. Dickens. Milwaukee, AVis. 
We deviate this year from the practice of former years in 
anticipating an attendance of one dozen instead of 100. 
Twelve members are pledged to attend the meet wherever it 
is held. (This number includes 'some of the officers ) We 
anticipate this year's meet to be a small one, yet withal an 
enjoyable one. . . 
It is proposed to curtail the racing programme and elimin- 
ate all uninteresting races. To insure attendance of the 
regatta committee, the commodore will make his appoint- 
ments at the meet. 
In the course of three weeks another circular letter will be 
issued advising all members as to camp site and arrange- 
ments. The Executive Committee. 
By F. B. Huntington, Sec'y-Treas. 
The latest proposal is that the Association shall accept an 
invitation from the Pewaukee Y. C , of Pewaukee Lake, 
Wis., to attend the interlake races on that lake between July 
12 and 26. Pleasant as this might be, it is not canoeing, and 
such a meet can do nothing toward reviving the interest in 
the Association and canoeing. We heartily agree with the 
following remarks of our Western correspondent. A real 
camp in the woods, even with a small attendance, which is 
apparently all that can be expected now at any site, will be 
far better in every way than the attendance of a handful of 
canoeists at a summer resort to witness yacht races. It 
would seem that the "Balla'<t or bust" policy .of .some mem- 
bers of the Association has brought it near to the latter ex- 
tremity. 
Pewaukee is a summer resort lake near to Milwaukee, and 
it possesses advantages as such a resort, but in that regard 
it has many of the disadvantages and lacks manv of the ad- 
vantages possessed by Ballast Island as a place for a meet. 
It is certainly too civilized to offer attractions as the ideal 
spot for a canoe meet. One might go further in the way of 
enumerating attractions, and hold out the claims of the city 
of Milwaukee it.self as a good place for a meet. The races 
might be sailed in the harbor, and still better quarters than 
Mr. Auer's cottages might perhaps beattaiuable in the large 
Milwaukee hotels. But for a genuine canoe meet, such as 
the canoemen of Milwaukee can well afford to attend, such 
a ppot as Charlevoix. Mich., or even Mullet Lake again, 
would be far better. There the canoemau is away from the 
cities and in the woods, where he belongs. He can really 
camp out if he likes, and he has a chance to sail and fl.-h and 
be a follower of the stream and of the woods. Such a trip is 
worth more than a few weeks passed at a place ui der t he 
wing of a big city, whatever may be the attractions of an 
hour's run to copious music aud an occasional theater 
While it would not be fit to coademn out of hand any choice 
made by the Association, it seems to me that a meet at Pe- 
waukee would mean a meet almost solely for Milwaukee. 
Why cannot the Mahn-a-wauks take boat some summer eve 
and sail acro.^s to Charlevoix, taking a deck load of caiio»s 
along and going into camp like cruisers and sailormen? 
Would not. this be better than using the .shores of any lake 
where the banks are dusty from many feet, and where the 
striped parasol of summer is at hand at every turn ? Aie 
not the pine woods better than a lawn, and are not many 
brook trout better than a few weary big-mouth bass? To 
me it Feems they are, though I should .^^eeli to look plea.«ai.t 
if the Association really agreed upon Pewaukee as the place.
