To strengthen the corners where the sides join the 
transom, it is customary to fit in an oak knee on each 
side and rivet it to both shelf and transom. Measure 
the angle by taking two thin pieces of wood with a tack 
through one end, so they open like a pair of scissor

YACHTING NEWS NOTES* 
Schooner Intrepid, belonging to Frank G. Palmer, of 
the New York C. C, arrived in Gravesend Bay on 
May 29 from Colon, Colombia. The craft cleared from 
the South American port on May 9 and her owner 
reports splendid weather on his almost record breaking 
run. 
Intrepid is the schooner designed in 1899 by H. C. 
Wintringham and built by J. M. Baylies & Son, of Port 
Jefferson. She is used for trading purposes along the 
west coast of South America and was originally fitted 
with a 25 H.P. motor. 
It is on account of this motor that the craft has made 
the long trip northward. Mr. Palmer will have the old 
motor taken out, as it has proven unsatisfactory. In its 
place will be installed a 35 H. P. Globe engine. 
After repairs are completed, which it is thought will 
require about six weeks, the craft will return to Colon. 
Intrepid is an excellent sea beat and carries a crew of 
five men all told. She is 67 feet on deck, 55 feet on the 
water-line, 18 feet breadth and 5 feet draft.

Ariadne, the auxiliary schooner designed by Messrs. 
Tarns, Lemoine and Crane for Mr. H. W. Putnam, was 
launched from the yards of the builders, Messrs. Harlan 
and Hollingsworth, Wilmington, Del., on May 22. Ari- 
adne is 140ft. over all, 110ft. water-line, 26ft. breadth and 
14ft. draft.

The steam yacht Hanoli (which is the Hawaiian word 
for delight) was launched from the yard of the John R. 
Robins Company, Erie Basin, on Saturday, May 31, 
She was designed by Mr. Henry J. Gielow for Mr, F. 
M. Smith. Hanoli is 153ft. 7in. over all, 122ft. gin. water- 
line, 17ft. 6in. breadth and 9ft. 8in. depth. The yacht is 
built of steel throughout. There are two deck houses, 
each 22 feet in length. In the forward one is the dining 
room and pantry and in the after one is the social hall 
or living room. Below decks, aft of the machinery, are 
two large staterooms for the owner and his wife, which 
extend the full width of the vessel. In addition to these 
rooms there are three more staterooms, a bath room, 
lavatory, etc. Aft of the staterooms is a large main 
saloon. Forward of the engine space is a mess room for 
the officers and staterooms and a forecastle for the men. 
Hanoli is lighted by electricity. Anchors and boats will 
be hoisted by machinery. The engine is of the four- 
cylinder, triple-expansion type, i"our cylinders being used 
to secure perfect balance of the reciprocating parts. 
There are two boilers, of the water-tube type, built for a 
working pressure of 250 pounds to the square inch, and 
with natural draught alone will supply ample steam to 
drive the vessel at a speed of 17.5 miles an hour and with 
forced draught a speed of twenty miles an hour is 
expected.

events for each day. There are ten events, of which four are at 
15 targets, $1 entrance; five at 20 targets, $1.50 entrance, and one at 
30 targets, a distance handicap, 12 to 22yds.; $50 guaranteed; six 
moneys, Rose system. Those who so desire may shoot for targets 
only. Mr. J. K. Starr, who is eminently expert in all the details 
of tournament management, will act as manager. Mr. Wolsten- 
croft, as is well known, was one of the most skillful of America's 
trap shots, which is equivalent to saying that he was one of the 
best in the world. He is now the proprietor of Abbottsford Inn, 
Stone Harbor, situated on one of the small islands on the lower 
coast of New Jersey. The Pennsylvania R. R., West Jersey Divi- 
sion, runs through trains from Philadelphia direct to Stone Har- 
bor. There is good bathing, fishing and bay bird shooting on the 
island. Ship guns, etc., to Mr. YVolstencroft, who also will fur- 
nish any information which may be desired. The programme 
specially states: "The special feature on the programme will be a 
team match, open to all under the following conditions: Teams 
of four men, the members of each team to be members of the same 
club, 30 targets per man, distance handicap, 12 to 22yds. The 
entrance fee will be the price of the targets, with an optional sweep 
of $2 per team. With four entries the purse will be divided into 
two moneys, 60 and 40 per cent. ; five to seven entries, three 
moneys, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. " Over seven entries, four moneys, 
40, 30. 20 and 10 per cent. High guns, not class shooting. The 
prize for the team match will be a sterling silver cup, valued at $50, 
donated by W. H. Wolstencroft. The team match will be con- 
tinued through both days, one-half being shot each day. The 
match will be shot over the Sergeant system, with a fourth trap 
placed 80yds. from the 16yds. mark, from which incomers will be 
thrown. As an advance entry, for the trophy event will lighten the 
labors of the handicappers, it is desired that the same be sent- 
to J. K. Starr, P. O. Box 295, Philadelphia, Pa. Entries may be 
made up to the commencement of the event. Leave Market street 
wharf, Philadelphia, via West Jersey & Seashore R. R. 9 A. M, 
and 4:20 P. M., arrive at Stone Harbor 11:13 A. M. and 6:22 P. M.
