Points and Flushes. 
The hosts of friends of Dr. H. Clay Glover will deep- 
ly regret his withdrawal as veterinarian of the New 
York dog show. He recently sent to the Bench Show 
Committee of the Westminster Kennel Club the fol- 
lowing: "I beg to herewith tender my resignation as 
veterinarian to the Westminster Kennel Club, which 
position I have occupied for about twenty years. The 
duties have become quite arduous to me, and I -believe 
the interests of the club would be best served by the ap- 
pointment of a younger man. To my successor I shall 
be most happy to give, by advice, the benefit of my long 
experience." Let vis hope that the successor will be as 
eminently able, conscientious and popular as Dr. Glover 
is and ever has been. 
The premium list of the Westminster Kennel Club's 
27th annual bench show, Feb. 11-14, is now ready for 
distribution and may be obtained of the superintendent, 
Mr. James Mortimer, Room 70, Townsend Building, 1123 
Broadway, New York. Entries close on Jan. 26.

30-Foot "Waterline Awxiliary Yawl. 
The design of the 30ft. waterline auxiliary yawl which 
we reproduce this week, was made by Mr. W. Starling 
Burgess for Mr. J. B. Wilson, of Buffalo, N. X- 
The boat is intended primarily for cruising, but her 
design embodies many of the modern ideas, and she 
should be fast and comfortable. The propeller is 
placed above the rudder and a little to one side. This 
plan is unique, and is new so far as we know, the 
usual method being to cut out a place in the deadwood 
just inside the stern post for the propeller. The boat's 
draft is moderate, being just over 5ft. with the cen- 
terboard up, and in consequence she will have access 
to most of the harbors along the coast. The center- 
board houses under the cabin floor. The cabin house 
is 2ift. long, and the mainmast comes down through 
the forward end. At the after end of the cabin house 
a heavy beam runs athwartships. The motor is 
placed under the forward end of the cockpit, and is 
reached by moving the companion stairs. The cockpit 
is 9ft. long. 
The companionway is on the port side, and its leads 
to a steerage, on the port side of which is a berth. A 
sliding door on the partition to starboard opens into 
a stateroom 7ft. long. Here is a wide berth, and at the 
after end is a bureau and a clothes locker. Forward is 
the main cabin, which is 7ft long and runs the full 
width of the boat. On either side are wide transoms. 
At the after end is the sideboard, and forward there is 
a locker on each side. From the main saloon forward 
there is a passage on the port side, which leads to the 
galley. On the port side of the passage there is a 
large ice box, and on the starboard side is a toilet 
room 2ft. gin. wide. The galley is roomy and well 
fitted, and there is full headroom under beams. A 
hatch over the galley gives plenty of light and ventila- 
tion. There are two pipe berths in the forecastle for 
the men.

Boston Letter. 
Boston, Jan. 5. — It has been decided by the Man- 
chester Y. C. to make the trial races to select a chal- 
lenger for the Seawanhaka c-hallenge Cup open to all 
American clubs. It is said that the policy will be some- 
what different from any that has yet been adopted. A 
meeting of the Executive Committee is to be held 
Tuesday afternoon, at which it is expected that all ar- 
rangements will be made. The principal thing, how- 
ever, is the fact that other American clubs will be al- 
lowed to cQmpete. This will undoubtedly lend a greater 
interest in the quest for the cup than would have been 
evinced had there been only the two boats competing, 
which have been ordered from Burgess and Packard 
by the Higginson-Boardman syndicate. One of these 
boats is now well along toward completion, and the 
other will be started in a short while. In view of the 
fact that the races will be made open, it is likely that 
there will be at least one more candidate for chal- 
lenger built by North Shore yachtsmen. There is talk 
of several more, but it is not thought that there will 
be any great flock of them owned by yachtsmen in the 
vicinity of Boston. It is known that several western 
yachtsmen have been desirous of competing in the 
trials, and it is thought that at least two or three boats 
will come from the Lakes. It is considered likely that 
the trials will be held very early in order that the 
yicbt which is selected will have an opportunity o£ b»-
