ure to a minute. For the yacht designer, the ordinary 
printed Bristol board protractor of 6 to Sin. diameter, 
costing 20 to 30 cents, is quite as good as the silver in- 
struments costing as many dollars. Two forms are shown 
in Figs. 60 and 61. 
The scale should never be irsed as a straight edge, as a 
rule its edges will not be perfectly true, but in selectmg 
scales they should be carefully examined as to their free- 
dom from warping and twisting, and if of wood it should 
be of clean straight grain, and free from knots; the better 
the wood is, the less liability to subsequent warping. The 
graduations should show clean sharp lines and even 
spacing. It is suipriFing how plainly the most minute irre- 
gularities are apparent to the practiced eye. and what an 
annoyance they cause to one accustomed habitually to ac- 
curate measurements. The work of the best scale makers 
is now so close to the Government standards that their 
scales compare accurately one with another, and may be 
used together on the same drawing. It sometimes hap- 
pens, however; that after a drawing is plotted with one 
scale, another one of different make is U'^ed for conven- 
ience in taking off the oflfsets or for similar work, and 
shows a perceptible discrepancy in the results. Wherever 
practicable, it is well to buy all scales of one reliable 
maker.

yachts. The three flag officers each offered cups to the 
value of $250, and Mr. George J. Gould has offered the

A Fast Cruising: Knockabout. 
(Concluded from fiage 13P, Feb. 18.) 
The accompanying illustrations show the interior ar- 
rangement, details of construction, and sail plan of the 
knockabout, whose lines were published last week. _ The 
yacht is intended mainly for day sailing and racing in the 
handicap class, so a good deal of space has been given up 
to the cockpit ; but there is still a very snug cabm, com- 
pletelv fitted with lockers, closets, ice chest, galley with 
Primus stove, dish lockers, etc., so that two persons can 
make themselves very comfortable on a cruise. The in- 
terior finish is butternut, the cockpit being fitted with re- 
movable slat seats of mahogany, to match the staving. 
The yacht will have two rigs, knockabout and race- 
about, which can be shifted one for the other in half an 
hour, the same mast being used for each rig. 
The construction is of the best class of single-skin 
caulked seam work, to the scantling limits of the knock- 
about class. The planking is of selected white cedar, 
fastened with copper, riveted, the upper strake being of 
Nova Scotia oak in a single length, bright finished. The 
planksheers are also of oak, and the deck is of Oregon 
cedar, ship-lapped, and payed with Jeffries marine glue. 
The cabin top is of double thickness, an inner skin of 
i/^in. butternut, to match the cabin joinerwork, and an 
outer skin of Oregon cedar, laid close-seam, with cotton 
and white lead between. 
All of the deck and spar fittings are of Manganese or 
other bronze; polished. The sails are by Cousens & Pratt. 
Mr. Stearns has also in hand another yacht of similar 
design and identical arrangement and construction, for 
the market. The cost of these boats is about $1,300. 
Willada. 
The steel steam yacht building at Pusey & Jones' yard, 
Wilmington, from the designs of H. C. Wintringham, 13 
for Col. Wm. Hester, of Brooklyn* owner of the sloop 
Wizard. The new yacht, to be named Willada, will be

Contin's Toumamen', 
The present year is the thirtv-fifth one I have been proprietor 
of a shooting gallery in New York city. A number of my 
friends and patrons have suggested that I celebrate the event 
by holding a shooting tournament. I have decided to act 
on this suggestion, and beg to announce that on Feb. 25 I 
shall open at my gallery, Broadway and Thirty-first street, New 
York, the Sportsmen's Jubilee tournament, for rifle, pistol and 
revolver, which will continue until March 18. This event will 
be unique in its character. Many of the prizes have been con- 
tributed by gentlemen who have been closely identified with 
shooting matters in this country and in Europe for the past 
quarter-century. Full particulars will be announced later.
