Columbia Y. C, Chicago. 
Things nautical are looking up out this way. There 
is a disposition to gather with other yachtsmen and 
talk about doing things. While the clubhouse is not 
yet formally opened or the restaurant really in service, 
there are meetings of the boys Saturday evenings and 
Sundays, and little dinners served by special arrange- 
ments with the steward. 
The second monthly dinner, on the evening of March 
21, was attended by nearly twice as many as the first 
one, and the attendance at the first was a surprise to 
all but the most sanguine of the dinner promoters. 
The menu was excellent, and the spirit of good com- 
radeship and hearty welcome to new members was 
thoroughly delightful. 
On March 28 occurred an informal smoker, which 
still further emphasized the fact that this is going to 
be a banner season for the Columbia Club. From 
every direction came reports of progress on new- 
boats building, and there are half a dozen sheds in 
various parts of the city which shelter partially com- 
pleted hulls. Their amateur owners and builders are 
hustling now so that they may be in the water and 
tuned up for the Decoration Day races. 
The 2ift. cabin class is the special pet and pride of 
the club, and competition for the trophy offered by 
Sir Thomas J. Lipton in this class and held by the 
club as a perpetual challenge cup, is to be fierce. Bids 
have been accepted by the club members for two boats 
in this class. One to be built in the last under direc- 
tion of Messrs. Small Bros., of Boston, to be called 
T ittle Shamrock, is a syndicate boat. The other, the 
Tantalizer, will be built at Fort Wayne, Ind., by the 
Keogh Boat & Motor Co., on the order of Com. 
T F. McGuire. She will be of the same design and 
for the express purpose of pitting the Western builders 
against the Eastern, to see which will turn out the 
better boat. There is also a deal on foot for a 21- 
footer to participate in this year's Lipton races, from 
a design by Mr. C. D. Mower. 
Milwaukee will send down two contestants for the 
,Cup — the Pilot, a Massachusetts Bay 21-footer, re- 
icently purchased by Mr. R. B. Brown, and a new boat 
inow building by Mr. Otto F. Schamell. Mr. Schamell's 
Iboat will be a beauty and an ideal 21-footer. She will 
'|be 35ft. iiin. over all, 7ft. sin. in forward overhang 
'Jand 7ft. 6in. in aft. L. W. L. beam gft. loin. Will 
•carry 1,540 pounds of lead ballast on fin. She will 
.(have hollow spars, and her sail area will be 898 sq. ft. 
Her cedar planking will be finished natural wood, var- 
nished and highly polished. La Rita will hold the Cup 
another year if the expectations of her owner, Mr. 
George R. Peare, are realized. He is having a new 
hollow spar made by H. Pigeon & Sons, of Boston, 
and has ordered a new suit of racing canvas from Wil- 
son & Silsby. This will measure 844 sq. ft. — some- 
what larger than last year. 
The success of the 21ft. class has inspired members 
of the cIuId to project two other special classes — one 
of i8-footers for knockabout sailing in home waters, 
and the other of 2S-footers as a cruising class, that 
will afford comfortable quarters for four or five people, 
but that v/ill not be costly to construct or maintain. 
Although nothing definite has been planned as to the 
restrictions, the idea that seems to meet favor is the 
adoption of the best features of the 2Sft. class of the 
Y. R. U. Probably the other clubs on Lake Michigan 
will be asked to participate in the adoption of the rules 
so as to insure the interclub interest that is always a 
winning factor in such work. Already there is prom- 
ise of a suitable perpetual challenge cup, and a cham- 
pionship cup for each season's winner will also be pro- 
vided. 
By action of the club at the March business meet- 
ing, the membership dues will hereafter be sixteen dol- 
lars instead of twelve dollars per year. No change was 
made in the initiation fee of ten dollars. One of the 
members, recently returned from the South, reported 
a -nlace in the collection of the Southern Y. C. for a 
Columbia burgee, and an exchange was immediately 
voted. , , , , , 1 
One of the needs of the club that the members 
are discussing is that of a club launch or fleet tender. 
So much time is lost in calling in a dinghy and row- 
ing back and forth with guests, that the yacht owners 
would gladly contribute toward keeping m commission 
a roomy launch for this purpose, and it is hoped that 
before the season really opens such an arrangement 
can be made. E. T. D.

Monaloa* 
MoNALOA was designed by Mr. Arthur Binney and 
built by the George Lawley & Son, Corp., in 1901. 
She is built of wood and is 85ft. over all, 8ift. water- 
line, lift, breadth and 4ft. 4in. draft. Monaloa is 
owned by Mr. Chauncy B. Borland, of Boston. 
Pantooset. 
The steam yacht Pantooset was built at the Bath 
Iron Works, Bath, Me., in 1902, from designs made by 
Mr. W. J. J. Young. She is built of steel and is 211ft. 
over all, 175ft. waterline, 27ft. 3in. breadth and 13ft. 
draft. Pantooset is owned by Mr. A. S. Bigelow, Com- 
modore of the Eastern Y. C. 
YACHT CLUB NOTES. 
The second general meeting of the New York Y. C. 
was held at the club house. West Forty-fourth street. 
New York City, on Thursday evening, March 26. The 
amendments that were proposed at the February meet- 
ing were passed. Among the amendments was the one 
giving the commodore power to appoint the meas- 
urer and fleet captain. Mr. Charles D. Mower will be 
appointed measurer and Dr. J. M. Woodbury fleet 
surgeon. 
The Regatta Committee announced that the steamer 
Richmond had been chartered for the use of members 
and their guests for May 21 and 22, on which occa- 
sions the Reliance, Constitution and Columbia will 
meet over the Glen Cove course; the Cepheus, for the 
annual regatta, June 11; the Gay Head, for the Astor 
cups, Newport, July 23, and the Monmouth, for the 
America's Cup races. 
The club directed the committee to place the facili- 
ties of the Gay Head and the Monmouth at the dis- 
posal of the members of the Eastern Y. C. upon the 
same terms as for its own members. 
" The Eastern Y. C. accepted the invitation of the 
New York Y. C. to join the fleet on the annual cruise.
