FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 21, 1902, 
Skimabouts. 
The Syracuse Y. C. wishing to establish a one-design 
class a few seasons ago, had plans submitted from thir- 
teen different firms, from which to make a selection. The 
design submitted by the Racine Boat Mfg. Co. -was ac- 
cepted, it being considered by the Regatta Committee of 
the club to be the best all-round boat sent in. Twenty 
boats were ordered, and have given the greatest satis- 
faction. Last year the Indian Harbor Y. C. also felt 
the need of a one-design class, and following the example 
set by the Syracuse Y. C. had three boats built identical 
With theirs. This season five more have been ordered, as 
the first three proved to be such excellent little boats. 
These boats are built complete by the Racine Boat Mfg. 
Co., Racine. Wis., for $200. The New York agents for 
this concern are Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold, New 
York city.

Shelter Island Y, C. 
SHELTER ISLAND HEIGHTS. 
.Mr. George Trowbridge Hollister, a member of the 
Shelter Island Y. C, is the possessor of a new Class N 
sloop whioh is expected to be a fast one. She is from 
the designs of Messrs. Gardner & Cox, and built by 
Gilbert M. Smith, of Patchogue, L. I. 
The new boat is a 30-rater. very much after the same 
lines as the new 60-rater Wetamoe and Neola, built re- 
spectively for Henry F. Lippitt, of Providence, R. I., and 
George M. Pynchon, of New York. The smaller craft 
has a bit more beam in proportion to her length. 
Mr. Hollister's boat is named Kalmia. She will be 
campaigned in all of the contests of the Shelter Island 
Y. C. and will also appear in regattas on Long Island 
Sound. 
The boat was launched on May 22 last, and is now in 
commission at Shelter Island. She is 43ft. on deck, 25ft. 
on the waterline, 9ft. 3m. beam and 6ft. 6in. draft. 
Kalmia was built for a cruising and racing boat, and 
has good cabin accommodations for four people.

Rtla and Privateer, the former winning by about 3m. La 
K'eta is one of the yachts which will compete in the M. 
V. R. A. 21 ft. class adopted by the Lake Michigan Yacnt 
Racing Association this season. She was designed and 
built by Lawrence Jensen, of Gloucester, for George R. 
Pi are. She is a keel boat, and an improvement qyer 
Quakeress, which Jensen designed and built for Quincy 
Bent, of the Annisquam Y, C. last year, Quakeress did 
not come out until late in the season, but in the few races 
in which she had a chance to sail she showed that she had 
speed. La Reta is 37ft. 6in. over all, 20ft. loin, waterline, 
9ft. 6in. extreme beam and 5ft. 6in. extreme draft. She 
has 2,o6olhs. of ballast and carries 844 sq. ft. of sail. The

Chicago Y. C. Triumphant. 
Chicago, 111., June 14. — Chicago Y. C. has triumphantly 
won out in all the various lake front fights which have 
hampered it in the erection of the new club house. The 
structure is now practically completed, and will pres- 
ently be opened, for the use and enjoyment of the large 
membership of this club. 
The formal opening of the new club house will occur 
on Saturday, June 28, a luncheon from 12 to 1 :30 being 
scheduled for that day. At 2 o'clock on June 28 the 
architects will formally turn over the building, and after 
the proper salute the club burgee will be hoisted above the 
building. An hour later the entire fleet of Chicago Y. C. 
will set out for a two hours' sail, accompanied by a guest 
boat, which will carry perhaps 300 passengers. There will 
then be various evolutions and formal salutes for the 
fleet, from the anchorage, until 5 o'clock. From that 
hour until 6 there will be races between the little fellows, 
with possibly sculling races and races between the four 
cutters of the U. S. Naval Militia, as well as an exhibition 
by the members of the U. S. Life Saving crew. The 
festivities of the day will be followed by a dinner from 
6:30 to 8 P. M., succeeded by music and dancing. 
The above programme is in celebration of the formal 
opening, but there will be an informal gathering, a stein 
smoker, at the club house June 19 at 8:30. There will be 
a good musical programme at tbis stag affair, and each 
gentleman is requested to bring a stein bearing his name 
and the date, which will hereafter be retained by the club 
as part of its equipment. 
Chicago Y. C. promises a season of great activity in 
practical matters, and the club is very much to be con- 
gratulated upon its healthy showing and its final housing 
in its beautiful structure, which has been erected under 
so many discouraging circumstances.
