beam of the boat, a fine galky, a pantry and plenty of 
room for the crew. In the same shed the keel is laid for 
a 25ft. knockabout. A similar knockabout has already 
been completed and is now in the boat shop. Another 
from the same lines is to be built, also a 21ft. knocka- 
bout. The torpedo boats are taking shape, but the work 
on them is necessarily slow. Boilers are now being put 
togetlTer, preparatory to being set up. — Boston Globe, 
T. R. Webber, who designed and built the successful 
Surprise and Hussar for James D. Baird, is at work 
on a new yacht for the same owner, a centerboa'rd boat 
of 51ft. r.m., about 44ft. l.w.l., 70ft. over all, and similar 
to the older boats in model. 
The schooner yacht Chiquita went ashore ofif Miller's, 
Jnd., on Nov. 2, and the body of D. S. Way, of Charle- 
voix, Mich,, her owner was found lashed in the rigging. 
Those known to be dead besides Mr. Way are his wife 
and Rollin Frazine, of Charlevoix. The yacht was 
bound to Florida by way of Chicago, the canal, the rivers 
and the Gulf of Mexico. She left Charlevoix early last 
week, put into Holland and sailed from there Saturday 
for Chicago. .She was caught by the gale on Wednesday, 
"was sighted in distress oil Whiting, and the alarm was 
given to the life-saving crew at South Chicago. In the 
night the yacht n\ust have been driven ashore, for at 
daybreak on Nov. 3 the wreck was discovered three miles 
from the mouth of the Grand Calumet. Search is being 
made for the bodies of J\'[rs. Way and Franzine. — New

Supervi.sor-General Dumont, of the Steamboat Inspec- 
tion Service, has received from Inspector Starbuck at New 
York the latter's decision in the case of R. B. Brooks, of 
the steamer Idlewild, one of the steamers charged by 
Capt. Evans with having violated the rules of the recent 
yacht race. The local inspectors revoked Capt. Brooks' 
license as master and pilot of steam vessels. Inspector 
Starbuck reverses the decision of the local inspectors, and 
says that after carefully examining the testimony in the 
case he is satisfied the local in.spectors misunderstood the 
rules governing the races. 
At Embree's yard, at Quincy Point, work has been 
started on a schooner of 3Sft. waterline for J. L. and L. H. 
Sturtevant, owners of the 25-footer Redskin. Judging 
by the moulds which are now set up on the keel, the boat 
will be much like Golden Rod, built this summer at the 
same yard for George E, Bruce. She is very long over all, 
with a blunt bow, flat floor, easily rounded bilge, and 
straight topside, She is an enlargement of the Cartoon 
type, and has its characteristic features. The schooner is 
65ft. over all, 35ft. waterline, and i6ft. beam. She will 
liave a fin, a casting of about two tons, in which will play 
a centerboard with a drop of about 3ft. The centerboard 
will carry 4,8oolbs. of lead. The draft with centerboard up 
will be" about 5ft. The boat is to be strongly built, and 
have good accommodations under a cabin house. Embree 
has an order for a 55--footer from a New York man as 
good as placed, and is expecting plans and specifications 
any day. Golden Rod will come up to the yard the last of 
this week and be hauled out. During the winter she will 
be given a new fin with less depth, as the boat now dra\ys 
too much water for the places her owner desires to visit. 
The boat has been gotten into better shape than in her 
first Eastern race early in September, and is now said 
to be going fast and well. Hauled out at Embree's are 
the steam yacht Pilgrim and the sailing yachts Eleanor.

Mr. R. T. Pritchett, the well-known marine artist, traS 
just published a most interesting book, the result of his 
long voyages in foreign waters, added to his wide experi- 
ence in Europe. The title is "Pen and Pencil Sketches oi 
Shipping and Craft All Around the World" ; rather a 
lengthy and comprehensive one, but the list of contents 
justifies it. The artist has caught with his pencil almost 
every sort of crall: — BritE?,nnia and Vigilant, the Norwegian 
herring boat, the Nile dehabeah. the sampan, junk, koleh, 
the chasse-maree, the proa, and numerous others. Each 
is the subject of a spirited sketch with an excellent 
technical description. The book contains many illustra- 
tions, and is not only interesting to the yachting reader, 
h\it valuable as a reference in maritime matters. With the 
exception of the very small type, it is well made through- 
out. It is published by Edward Arnold, 37 Bedford 
street, Strand, London.

The Kansas City Star, concerning the inter-city contest, has this' 
to say: "The Federation of Gun Clubs of Kansas City met at the 
Midland Hotel last night and repudiated the team selected by the 
committee appointed at a former meeting to shoot a rival team of 
Omaha wing shots, and a new committee, composed of Messrs, 
George Stockwell, Chris Gottlieb and F. N. Cockrill was appointed 
to name a new team and alternates. They selected the following 
regulars and alternates, and their action was promptly ratified: 
Regulars— J. B. Porter, R. K. Campbell. Geo. Stockwell, T. M. 
Curtice, Ed Hickman, Dave Elliott, C. Gottlieb, F. N. Cockrill 
and W. S. Allen. Alternates— J. W. Bramhall, Dr. Planck, A. E, 
Thomas, Nelson Jarrett, L. W. Scott, W. M. Howe, E. F. Swin- 
ney, R. P. Barse, C. E. Wright and F. J. Smith. A proposition to 
leave the individual members of the team selected open to clial- 
lenge for their positions was protested by the committee on team. 
The team and alternates are requested to meet at Elliott's store on 
Wednesday evening to select a captain, and the committee on en- 
tertainment is requested to meet at the same place at the same 
time. The entertainment committee is composed of E. F. Swinney,

Mr. Aaron Doty, one of the expert trap shots of Atnerica, has 
challenged Mr. J. A. R. Elliott to contest for the Republic cup at 
Lyndhurst, N. J., on Dec. 2, and Mr. Elliott has signified his will- 
ingness to meet the challenger. As an evidence of good faith a 
check for $50 is deposited with Forest and Stream as a qualifica- 
tion of the challenger. Mr. Elliott's record is a most formidable 
one for this season, for in five matches he scored 487 kills out of 
500 birds. On the other hand, Mr. Doty is one of the hardest 
propositions at the traps in the East. Mr. Elliott expects to at- 
tend Tom Donley's International the week afterward.
