28-FOOT WATERLINE CRUISING YAWL— SAIL PLAN— DESIGNED BY SMALL BROS. FOR STANLEY H. ELDRIDGE, 1903. 
Boston Letter. 
Boston, Feb. 22. — The 60ft. schooner Savonara, de- 
signed by Mr. Arthur Binney for Mr. C. H. H. Clarke, 
of Philadelphia, was launched at Lawley's last week. 
She was christened by Mrs. Clarke. As soon as the 
weather is more suitable the riggers will get to work 
on her, and she will be in readiness for an early trial. 
The Savonara is a fine, wholesome schooner and is in 
line with Mr. Binney's fine ideas in the design of cruis- 
ing yachts. She has somewhat of a heavy appearance, 
although her lines cannot be said to be other than 
graceful. She has a good freeboard, which, with her 
fairly easy underbody, will make her a most comfort- 
able craft in heavy weather. Below decks there is a 
great quantity of room, and, altogether, she looks the 
fine, sensible cruising yacht. 
As was expected, both the Boston Y. C. and the 
Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. agreed upon consolidation 
at the meeting, which was held last Thursday evening. 
The meetings of each club were held in the Ameri- 
can House, the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. gathering in 
the big dining hall upon the first floor, and the Boston 
Y. C. meeting upon the second floor. Both meetings 
were called for the same hour. It took only five min- 
utes for the members of the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. 
to decide upon consolidation, but considerable more 
time was needed before the Boston Y. C. took the 
final vote. There was some opposition to the adop- 
tion of the flag of the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C, as 
agreed upon by the committees of both clubs. The 
majority of the members, however, believed that the 
inattcr of flag was only for agreement on amalgama- 
tion, and so the vote was passed. 
When the vote had been passed, a committee of the 
Boston Y. C. was sent to inform the Hull-Massa- 
chusetts Y. C. of the action taken. This committee 
informed the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. members that, 
under the terms of agreement they were now members 
of the Boston Y. C, and were requested to adjourn to 
the meeting room above to enter upon the business of 
the consolidated club. At the same time the commit- 
tee was making its a'nnouncement in the lower hall, an 
envoy of the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. informed the 
Boston Y. C. that the Hull club had agreed upon the 
terms of amalgamation. In each case the announce- 
ment was received with great applause. When the 
meeting of the Boston Y. C. was again called to order 
Vice Commodore welcomed the new members.. Louis 
M. Clark addressed the meeting upon the prospects 
of the new club and then the consolidated club pro- 
ceeded to business. It was voted to appoint a com- 
mittee to prepare a revision of the constitution, and 
it was also voted to appoint a committee to prepare 
a list of nominations for ofiice. It is expected that the 
next meeting will be held very soon. 
The agreement of consolidation is substantially con- 
tained in the following votes passed by the Boston Y. 
C, which coincided with those passed by the Hull- 
Massachusetts Y. C: 
Section 5 of Chapter IV of the by-laws is hereby 
repealed, and in its place is substituted the following: 
"The distinguishing signal of the club shall be the 
present signal of the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C." 
All the present members of the Hull-Massachusetts 
Y. C. (except the Dorchester division hereinafter men- 
tioned) are hereby made members of the Boston Y. C, 
and shall be and are entitled to all the privileges of the 
club, at annual dues of $25 without the payment of any 
entrance fee, said members to rank in said Boston Y. 
C. according to their standing as to date of election in 
the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. 
Pending the adoption of a revised constitution and 
by-laws, to be reported by a committee, said commit- 
tee to be duly appointed at this meeting, the following 
provisions as to members and classes thereof, annual 
dues and rights to vote are hereby established:
