The club book for 1901 of the New York Y. C. has 
recently been issued. The pubHcation of the book was 
delayed about a month this year by a resolution of the 
club. This was done so that the book would be more 
complete, which now contains matter that could not 
have been put into shape for printing at an earlier date. 
The book is splendidly printed, handsomely bound and 
very complete, and more attractive than ever before, if 
such a thing were possible. The membership of the club 
is rapidly increasing, there being now very near two 
thousand. The club's fleet contains considerably over 
four hundred boats. The non-yacht owners' private sig- 
nals have this year been omitted from the book, and in 
their place have been put clear half-tone pictures of the 
club's numerous stations.

Gen. Francis V. Greene's auxiliary steam yacht Wild 
Duck, now under charter to Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, 
of Rhode Island, collided with the Joy Line steamer 
Tremont early in the morning on July 17. The accident 
occitrred on Long Island Sound, between Cornfield 
Light and New London. The Aveather is said to have 
been thick at the time. The yacht tore a big hole in 
the starboard bow of the Tremont and the latter began 
to fill rapidly. The yacht was not seriously injured. No 
one was hurt on either vessel, but that there was no loss 
of life is accounted for by the ready help that was given 
to the 300 passengers on the Tremont by the steamers 
City of Lowell, City of Worcester, Connecticut and 
Massachusetts, all of" which happened to be in the vicin- 
ity. The Tremont was towed into New London, where 
she was beached. The yacht was able to proceed to the 
same port under her own steam. The side-wheeler Tre- 
mont is the property of the Boston & Portland Steam- 
ship Company, and was under charter to the Joy Steam- 
ship Companv. She was built at Greenpoint, N. Y., m 
1883 for the Portland Company. She is 1,023 net tons 
burden, 260ft. in length, and 37ft. beam.

She was designed by Edward Burgess and built at the 
Atlantic Works, East Boston, in 1891. She is r25ft. on 
the waterline, 154ft. over all, 23.sft. beam and 12ft. draft.
