Narraganset Bay. His ai-footer will be built by Fenton, 
of Manchester. Another of Burgess's 21-footers is for 
Reginald Boardman, of the Manchester and Corinthian 
Y. C,'s. It is likely that she, too, will be built by Fenton; 
in fact, four out of the five Burgess boats will be built 
at Manchester. Smith, of Quincy, has started work on 
the C. H. W. Foster 2i-footer, designed by" Crownin- 
shield and the Crowninshield designed 2i-footer for Hon. 
Charles Francis Adams 2d, will be laid down at Lawley's 
tliis week. 
It is expected that work will be started very soon on the 
2i-footer designed by Fred Lawley for Vice.-Com. H. H. 
Wiggin, of the Annisquam Y. C. The 21-footer which 
is to be turned out by Hanley, was not heard of until 
last week, but the information was received from a 
yachtsman who is in close touqh with the Quincy builder, 
and there is little doubt that the news received is authen- 
tic. It is likely that one of the Crownmshield 21-footers 
will be built by Fenton. 
There is not quite such a lively interest shown in the 
restricted 25ft. class. There are three new boats 
so far. One of these is from Crowninshield's design for 
F. G. Macomber, Jr., of the Burgess and Corinthian Y. 
C.'s. _ Mr. Macomber is greatly interested in the class 
and is doing all he can to boom it. He has been en- 
deavoring to interest a number of Marblehead yachtsmen 
to such an extent that they will build new ones and it may 
be that more will be coming before the winter is over. 
Burgess has two boats for this class, but it is not known 
for whom they are to be built. Even with only three new 
ones there will be a very respectable showing in this 
class for next year. Besides the new ones there remain 
Flirt, Jingo, Chewink, Tarpon, Early Dawn, Marion, 
Cyrilla, Little Peter and Areyto. 
Cruising boats are taking up much of the attention of 
the designers and builders, lully one-half of the orders 
received being for either straight or auxiliary cruisers. 
At the difterent offices there is much to be seen of in- 
genious contrivances in utilizing room in this type of 
boat, and in some of the designs the results gained seem 
wonderful. In the designs for cruisers every inch of 
available space is used for some practical purpose, over- 
hangs and all. A 46ft. schooner for W. S. Eaton, Jr., of 
the Eastern Y. C. by Fred Lawley, is one of the neatest 
that has been seen. 
This boat will be called Agatha, and will take the place 
of the 40-footer which was built at the Marblehead Yacht 
Yard for Mr. Eaton in 1900. The old Agatha has been 
sold and her name changed. The new schooner re- 
sembles John M. Richmond's 46ft. schooner Indra, ex- 
cept that she is a trifle easier and is expected to show a 
little better turn of speed. She is cut uo below decks 
much after the style of Indra, only more available space 
has been utilized. She is flush decked with companion- 
ways leading to the main saloon and to the galley. There 
is a skylight over the main saloon, while entrance is 
gained to the forecastle through the fore hatch. Aft of 
the main companionway there is a large stateroom taking 
up the entire beam of the boat. This is fitted with double 
berths and transoms, while under the companionway 
stairs there is a wash bowl. On the port side of the 
main companionway there is' an oilskin locker with chart 
locker above, and forward of this is a bath room and 
linen closet. On the starboard side of the main com- 
panionway is the owner's stateroom, fitted with berth 
transom, bureau and wash bowl. A door leads to the 
main saloon, which is fitted up with berths, transoms, 
bookcases, buffets and lockers, while there is plenty of 
space for an extension table. A door also leads from the 
main saloon to the galley, which is very roomy, and is 
fitted up with every convenience for cruising. A steel 
bulkhead shuts off the galley from the forecastle, but there 
is a slide througli which food may be passed. The fore- 
castle is quite roomy, and contains four hanging berths, 
while there is good room for stowing chains and other 
aiichor gear. 
This is but one of many that are being turned out by 
the Boston designers, of all sizes and types. The auxil- 
liary cruiser is gaining populartiy in this district as well 
as in other sections, and there are several new ones 
which will be turned out this winter. Small Bros, have 
rather a remarkable 25ft. cruiser, which contains a fair 
sized main saloon, a stateroom, and quite a roomy galley, 
with hanging berth forward for a deckhand and plenty of 
room for stowage. 
The table of percentages of the i8ft. knockabout in 
Duxbury Bay has kindly been furnished me by Com. 
L. H. Goodspeed, of the Dtixbury Y. C. From the 
records of the boats it seems that the racing in the bay 
'has been very even throughout the entire season. Miladi, 
which took the championship, is one of last year's boats. 
Trouble is a new— boat, d^sign-ed hy Fred Lawley and 
built by Shiverick of Kingston. She did not get started 
' early in the season, and, in consequence, was not in very 
good tune during her first races. When she got into 
shape, she proved slightly better than the old boats. 
The Eighteen Foot Knockabout Association was started 
by members of the Plymouth, Kingston and Duxbury 
Y. C.'s, who have raced for the local championship undei 
the auspices of the Duxbury Y. C. The following are

Crowninshield is designing a 45ft. launch for W. F. 
Beal, which will be built by Roger Eccles. He is also 
at work on three i8-footers, one for W. B. Rogers, an- 
other for William Russell and a third for New York 
parties. It is expected that all three will be sailed on 
Lake Champlain. One of Crowninshield's latest orders 
is for a 50ft. steam launch for Rt. Rev. Robert Codman, 
Episcopal Bishop of Maine. Bishop Codman owns an 
island in Casco Bay, and will use the launch in traveling 
to and from it. The same designer has also been com- 
missioned to make alteration plans on the soft, 
schooner Woodmansee, owned by B. Farquhar Curtis, of 
New York. Pier freeboard will be increased, her stern 
lengthened out slightly and she will be given a yawl 
rig. The work will be dofle by Davidson and GrifSn, of 
Portland. 
At Lawley's the Eaton 46ft. schooner is planned and 
her deck is being laid. An i8-footer has just been fin- 
ished. Work is very quiet in the shop yet, but it is ex- 
pected that within a few weeks both sheds will be filled. 
The auxiliary 30-footer for C. Bancroft Davis will be 
started this week, also two Y. R. A. 21-footers and a 
103ft. waterline steam yacht.

The Yachtsmen's Club, 
At a meeting of the Yachtsmen's Club, held in the Hotel 
Manhattan on Wednesday, Nov. 20, it was voted to reduce 
the dues to $6 yearly, instead of $20, as heretofore. 
This decision is the result of one year's trial of the 
idea that a club with quarters could be maintained in 
New York city, and which would bring into closer rela- 
tionship the members of the various yachting organiza- 
tions in the vicinity. Experience has shown that the chief 
obstacle to the success of the undertaking was the fact 
that there were already too- many clttbs in New York city. 
The quarters in the Hotel Royalton, while not large, were 
especially well adapted for the purpose intended, expen- 
sively furnished and well provided with books and cur- 
rent periodicals devoted to yachting, yet except on the 
evenings when informal "talks" were given, it was the 
exception to find a member about the club's rooms. 
The experimental stage of the club's existence demon- 
strated that the measure of success had was due to these 
"talks," which were well attended, because the knowledge 
gained was mainly of a technical character which could 
not easily be secured in any other way. This being the 
case, the necessity for maintaining expensive quarters did 
not exist, and it became possible to reduce the annual 
dues to merely a nominal amount, sufficient to cover the 
expense of a lecture room when reqtiired, printing, etc. 
The lectures given last winter by acknowledged experts 
on the various subjects covered, proved a notable success, 
among them being: 
"Sails; Their Construction, Care and Handling." Gil- 
bert H. Wilson, Esq, 
"A Talk on Navigation," Capt. Howard Patterson. 
"Marine Engineering," Prof. C, C, Thomas, New York 
University, 
"Cruising Yachts; Their Design and Construction," 
Clinton H, Crane, Esq. 
"The Racing Yacht ; Its History, Development and De- 
sign," William Gardner, Esq. 
"The Measurement Rule," John Hyslop, Esq. 
"Ocean Steam Vessels and Their Management," Capt, 
P. C, Petrie. 
"High Speed in Steam Vessels," Charles D, Mosher, 
Esq, 
"Methods of Determining Position at Sea," Commander 
Henry H. Barroll, U. S. N. 
"The American Yacht; Its Historv, Development and 
Design," Thomas H. MacDonald, Esq. 
"The Samoa Disaster," Capt. H. W. Lyon. U. S. N. 
The first "talk" of this season will take place on 
Wednesday evening, Dec. 18, and the entire programme, 
which is now being arranged, will shortly be announced. 
The only qualification for membership in the Yachts- 
men's Club is membership in a recognized yacht club, 
and it is believed that the very nominal amount of the 
dues, coupled with the unquestionable advantages offered 
by the course of lectures, will result in a largely in- 
creased membership. Application blanks will be mailed 
on request by E. M. MacLellan, Sec'y, go Water street, 
New York city.

One of the New York visitors to the Maine woods this season is 
P. D, Froeligh, superintendent of tlie Iron Steamboat Company, of 
this city, and also one of New York's most enthusiastic trap- 
shooters, "Super's" duties during the summer months, when all 
New York and half the surrounding cities want to get down to 
Coney Island, keep him too busy for any sport with the shotgun or 
rifle. But he gets even in the winter months, and has just re- 
turned from Maine with a full bag — that is to say, with all the deer 
and moose the law allows. -Deer were, he states, so numerous and 
troublesome that they had to keep a man in camp to prevent the 
hungry animals from eating the bedding. His moose story shows 
that luck figures considerably in hunting. He was camped, let us 
saj'. Trout Lake. From Trout Lake he and his guide went one day 
to another camp at, let us say, Mud Lake. The camp had not been 
used for weeks, and the country all around was quiet. Right in 
front of the door of the camp was a sign left there by a large bull 
moose. As the leaves were a foot thick everywhere, and everything 
dry and noisy, they returned to, let us say. Trout Lake once more 
— ^and waited for snow. The snow came in a few days, and the 
return trip to, well. Mud Lake was made the next day. Camp 
was reached in good time, and early the following day jNlr. Froeligh 
and his guide started out to look for "the big bull." Almost im- 
mediately after leaving camp his tracks, freshly made, were struck, 
and, as Mr. Froeligh puts it, "within fifty-five minutes from leav- 
ing camp I had my moose!" He is enthusiastic about the head; 
the spread he gives as 52in., while the horns are very massive, and 
the palmation very broad. The trophy will be on exhibition at the 
Sportsmen's Show, in Madison Square Garden, next spring. 
The latest illumination of the somewhat hazy line which dif- 
ferentiates the amateur trapshooter from the professional comes 
from the A. A. U., in the form of a resolution recently promul- 
gated, as follows: "Resolved, That a trapshooter who shoots for 
a sweepstakes is a professional athlete." While the intention of 
the A. A. U. is evident, the expression of it borders on the absurd. 
First of all, trapshooting does not come under the head of athletic 
sports. Indeed, a trapshooter may be first rate in point of skill 
and yet not be an athlete at all. According to the resolution, the 
trapshooters are the most athletic body in existence, as all of them 
having shot for sweepstakes, all therefore are professional athletes. 
According to the resolution, a man may be a cripple at one moment 
and a professional athlete the next, by virtue of a sweepstake. It 
would have been more accurate if the A. A. U, had resolved that a 
trapshooter who shoots for a sweepstakes be subject to the rules 
which govern professional athletes, and it would have been much 
more sensible if the A. A, U. had not meddled with it at all. It is 
true that the colleges have trapshooting clubs, but it is equally 
true that they have private societies and a lot of other interests 
which would strain the powers of any one body which attempted 
jurisdiction over all. Further comments on this subject are pre- 
sented on the editorial page. 
On Thursday of this week at Interstate Park, Queens, there wtll 
be target and live bird shooting. There are five target events on 
the programme — one event at 1-5 targets, the Interstate Park trophy 
event at ?5 targets, the Thanksgiving Day handicap at 50 targets, 
a trophy shoot at 25 targets, and the Metropolitan Individual 
Championship. The target programme at Interstate Park next 
week is as follows: Tuesday, Dec. .3. — Interstate Park trophy, 15 
targets, entrance' $1.30; Long Island Handicap, 25 targets, entrance 
11.50; first shoot for December cup, 50 targets, entrance $2; team 
race for teams of two, 25 targets per man, entrance $1.50 per "lan. 
Thursday, Dec. 5. — Interstate Park Handicap,- 25 targets, entrance 
$1.50; Metropolitan Individual Championship, 50 targets, entrance 
$2; Interclub match, open to all gun clubs, 50 targets per man, 
three men to constitute a team. A club can enter more than one 
team if it so desires. Entrance $2 per man; Interclub Handicap, 
25 targets, entrance $1,50.

The New Utrecht Gun Club announces that, "Commencing with 
December, two midweek shoots will be held each montli, the 
trophy for each day being a silver cup. Conditions will be advised 
later. First shoot Dec. 3. On Thanksgiving Day the usual all- 
day shoot will be held, the moose head now in the club rooms 
being the trophy for the principal event of the day. If ten entries 
are received for this, the club will pay for balance of the cost. 
Commencing with December a monthlj' cup will be shot for. No 
entrance fee will be charged, and this will constitute one event 
in each Saturday's programme. This cup will go to the member 
making the best average during the month, participation in at least 
three of these events being necessary for qualification," The club 
holds its shoots at Interstate Park, 
On the. grounds of the Carteret Gun Club, at Garden City, L. I-, 
on Thursday of last week, Mr. R, A. Welch, of New York, <1o- 
feated Mr. C. S, Guthrie in a match at 100 live birds, for $2.50 a side. 
Mr, Gutherie was shot out in the 95th round, at which time Mr. 
Welch had scored 88. The boundary of the Carteret Gun Club's 
giounds is 30yds.
