After a stormy trip down the coast from Deer Island, 
Me., the schooner yacht Brynlys, recently purchased by 
James Roosevelt, of the Seawanhaka- Corinthian Y. C, 
has put up at the Poillon shipyards, Brooklyn, where she 
is to be converted into an auxiUary. Capt. A. P. Newell 
and a crew of three men left Deer Island with the Bryn- 
lys April 28. Rough weather was encountered through- 
out the voyage, and the high seas made it necessary to 
put in at Boothbay, Salem, Hyannis and Vineyard Haven. 
At Poillon's shipyard the Brynlys will undergo minor 
I'epairs and an overhauling, in addition to being fitted as 
an auxiliary; Five or six weeks will be required for this 
work,. after which the yacht will be placed in commission 
for use as a cruiser and racer in neighboring waters. The 
Brynlys was designed and built by Rice Brothers at 
East Boothbay,, Me., in 1-897, and was formerly owned 
by Thomas B. Horner, of Philadelphia. She measures 
66ft. over all, 40ft. on the water line, 13ft. 6in. beam and 
8ft. 6in. draft.— New York Times.

It is said that the French are still very undecided as to 
which boat to choose to defend the International cup of 
the Cercle de la Voile de Paris. The probable defender, 
Sidi Fekkar, is reported to be very erratic in her per- 
formances, sometimes beating last j'ear's defender, Bel- 
uga, and at others finishing far astern of all the French 
i-raters. The English boat Scotia was designed by Mr. 
Linton Hope for the Mediterranean in 1899, and is prob- 
ably a better boat than Linton, although the latter has 
proved herself to be the fastest of the Mediterranean 
i-raters during the last three years. Scotia will certainly 
race at a considerablfe disadvantage for the International 
cup, because Mr. Linton Hope designed her for sailing 
in the open sea, and at 0.74-rating, whereas she will now 
have to sail in confined waters against boats of fully 
i-rating without time allowance. Her designer will do 
his best to cope with the very difficult task of tackling 
much bigger and more powerful boats than his own. 
Scotia's sail area has been increased from 370 sq. ft. to 
400 sq. ft. in the working sails, and she will have an 
enormous spinaker for light airs, bringing her total sail 
area up to 443 sq. ft, and making her rating 0.86. How- 
ever, with Mr. Linton Hope at the helm, there is no 
doubt that the utmost will be got out of the boat, and in 
spite of the great difference in rating, amounting to 0.14 
in favor of the French yacht, the race is by no means a 
foregone conclusion. The matches will be sailed at 
Meulan on alternate days from May 11 to May ig. — The 
Field.

Haddon and F. L. Dunnell ; Keloie, William K. Brown ; 
Quinque. Louis L. Smith and J. G. Hilliard ; Stinger, 
Arthur P. Clapp ; Skylark, L. S. Eaton, and Flying Fox, 
George L. Buckman. These boats, dissigned and built 
by WyckofF Bros., of Clinton, Conn., are 2Sft. 6in. over 
all, 17ft. l.w.l., 7ft, 6in. breadth, gin. draft of hull, 4ft. 
3in. draft with board and 360 sq. ft. sail area. Regular 
races will be sailed through the season on Gravesend 
Bay. 
Enterprise, steam yacht, Nelson Perin, has been thor- 
oughly overhauled during the winter at the Morgan Iron

waters.

letters every day from sportsmen throughout the country regard- 
ing this scare, and wondering whether it would be safe to come to 
Marshalltown to attend the tournament this month. Tliere is no 
local scare whatever in Marshalltown regarding this disease. We 
have quarantined (including cases and suspects) about thirty peo- 
ple. Of these there are twelve cases of light smallpox. We are 
going ahead with our shoot, and expect to have a large attendance. 
I am unable to write personally to all the sportsmen throughout 
the country, and so take" this means of notifying, through Forest 
AND Stre.\m, all persons who wish to attend the tournament, that 
they are perfectly safe in so doing. The quarantine laws are 
rigidly enforced, and the cases are i.solated from the settled part 
of the city. I will thank you kindly to give this attention in your 
next issue."
