Janseti,. ol Glailcesteh There are also two designs 
for the Seawanhaka 2ift, raceabout class, to beat Spiti-

Large groups of workmen have been busy recently on 
the brigantine Aloha, lately built on the design of Chnton 
H. Crane, at the Erie Basin, for the Messrs. James, of 
the New York Y. C. There have been reductions every- 
where. About 17ft. of heavy bowsprit has been taken 
off and now lies on the wharf. A lighter jibboom will be 
used. Both the lower masts have been out, and 6ft. have 
been taken off the foot of each. 
According to the mate, Andrew Berthold, the total 
height of the spars on this boat was at first 152ft.; 14ft. 
have now been taken off the total height of the forward 
sticks; lift, in all have been taken off the mainmast and 
main topmast; 7ft. have been taken off the royal. The 
Aloha will still carry a topgallant mast, and her forward 
sails will be as follows : Foresail, foretopsail, fore upper 
topsail, topgallant sail and royal. 
Mate Berthold said that as soon as the alterations were 
finished the Aloha would be taken out to be tried. The 
yacht will then be provisioned for a long cruise.— New 
York Tribune.

The executive committee of the Yacht Racing Associa- 
tion of Long Island Sound, A. B. Alley, of the Larch- 
mont Y. C. and Newberry D. Lawton, of the Atlantic 
Y. C., met at the Transportation Club in the Hotel Man- 
hattan on Jan. 17 to discuss the rules of their different 
organizations and to see if they could not be made uni- 
form before the opening of the next yachting season. The 
rules of important questions such as classification, meas- 
urements and time allowance are pretty much the same, 
the difference being in a few small matters that make it 
very confusing. The Larchmont and Atlantic clubs limit 
the draft of boats, and the Yacht Racing Association, for 
the .sake of having uniformity, is willing to adopt the 
rule. The Larchmont Club sends each class off separately 
and the Y. R. A. starts two or three classes in a bunch. 
All the rules Avere carefully gone over last night, and 
each representative made concessions so that if they had 
received power to act all the rules would have been alike. 
The yachtsmen, however, have to report to their respective 
clubs, and action will be taken next month. The meeting 
was a harmonious one. Every one present felt the im- 
portance of having uniform rules. The changes to be 
made will in no way affect the rules governing the con- 
struction of yachts. ' They will only refer to the regattas 
and sailing of yachts. 
The executive committee of the Association adopted the 
rules of the Massachusetts Knockabout Association. —
