n'.ade by Messrs. Herreshoff & Wells. The boat is 
36ft. over all and 8ft. 6in. breadth. She will be equipped 
with a lo-horsepower engine, which will give her a 
speed of nine miles an hour. 
F. E. Wicks, of Amityville, L. I., has received an 
order for a catboat 27ft. long over all, from Mr. Dun- 
can Stewart, of New York city. Work on the cat-

On Saturday, Dec. 6, there was launched from the 
yard of the Nilson Yacht Building Co., Baltimore, 
Md,, the yacht built by that firm for Messrs. Richard 
P. Hart and Henry Burden, 2d, both of New York 
city. The vessel, which is sort of a combination house 
boat and steam yacht, was designed by Messrs. Tams, 
Lemoine & Crane, and she will be used in southern 
waters. The first cruise the owners are to make in her 
will be up the Amazon River. She is known as the 
Constant. After the launching she was towed to the 
Baltimore Dry Dock and Shipbuilding Co.'s yard at 
Locust Point, where she will receive her engines and 
boilers. Constant is 126ft. 6in. over all, iioft. water- 
line, 20ft. breadth and 6ft. 6in. draft!

The looft. steam yacht that was designed and built 
by the Herreshoff Mfg. Co. for Mr. Morton F. Plant, was 
Lumched on Thanksgiving Day. She was named 
Claudia. The Herreshoffs have received fifteen orders 
for boats in the new Bar Harbor one design class. 
They are 31ft. on the waterline and about 50ft. long 
over all. One boat has been completed and is now 
ready for a trial spin.

Mr. Robert Jacob has recently received a contract 
to build at his yard at City Island, a steel steam yacht 
for Mr. Spencer Kellogg, of Buffalo. The yacht was 
designed by Mr. Henry J. Gielow, and will be built 
under his supervision. The boat, which is to be com- 
pleted by June 15, 1903, will be 126ft. Sin. over all, loift. 
waterline, i6ft. breadth and 6ft. loin. draft. She is to 
be built of steel throughout and will have a flush deck 
and two mahogany deck houses. In the forward house 
is the dining saloon, the butler's pantry and the cap- 
tain's room. The saloon occupies the forward end of 
the house, on the starboard side aft is the pantry, and 
the captain's room opposite on the port side. Twelve 
persons can be served in the dining saloon, and the 
pantry has direct connection with the galley, which 
is just below. The after house is to be used as a sort 
of living room. A staircase gives access to the state- 
rooms and bathrooms, which are on the deck below. 
Directly aft of the machinery space, which is about 
amidships, is a large stateroom for tlie owner and his 
wife, running the full width of the boat. On the port 
side aft are two staterooms, and' opposite on the star- 
board side of the passage is a bathroom, another state-- 
room and a lavatory. Occupying the after part of the 
yacht is another double stateroom, which also extends 
the full width and is 8ft. 6in. long. All the staterooms 
are finished in white pine enameled, with mahogany 
doors and trim. The plumbing is of the latest and 
most approved design. Forward of the engine space 
is the gallery and staterooms for the engineer, mate, 
etc. The forecastle is roomy and well ventilated. 
The machinery consists of a triple expansion engine 
and two water tube boilers. This power will drive the 
yacht at fifteen miles for ordinary running, and eight- 
een miles under moderate forced draught. Electricity 
will be used for lighting the yacht. 
She will be steered from the bridge, which is on 
top of the forward house. She is fitted with two pole 
masts, and three boats are swung on the davits — a 
launch, a gig and a dinghy.

The Gas Engine and Power Co. and Seabury & Co., 
of Morris Heights, have received orders for two new 
steam yachts of moderate size. The larger of the two 
is for Mr. Alfred Marshall, of New York city. She 
is similar in design to the boat building by the same 
firm for Mr. Howard Gould, which was described in 
these columns a few weeks ago. Mr. Marshall's boat 
is to be built of wood, her frames are to be of oak and 
she Avill be doubled planked with cedar. The yacht 
will be lighted by electricity, and will have a speed of 
twenty miles. She win be ready for delivery on May 
IS. 1903- 
The other boat is for Mr. Walter E. Duryea. She 
is somewhat smaller than Mr. Marshall's boat, being 
05ft. long over all. The yacht will be completed by 
June I, 1903, and her owner will use her almost entirely 
for cruising. 
At the Herreshoff plant the frames for the 130ft. 
steam yacht building for Mr. Shilah R. Van Duser, 
have been set up in the North shop, and the work of 
planking has commenced. The yacht is very similar 
in design to Duquense, a vessel turned out by the 
Herreshoffs several years ago. 
Mr. A. Appleton Packard, late superintendent of 
the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, has entered 
into partnership with Mr. W. Starling Burgess, and 
they will carry on the business of naval architects and 
engineers under the name of Burgess & Packard, at 
15 Exchange street, Boston, Mass.

Rifle at Ossfning. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Dec. 8. — In the rifle competition closing 
Thanksgiving Day, Mrs. E. F. Ball won the ladies' oup by a score 
of 236. Miss Frances Gibson made a score of 235, which was so 
nearly 236 that her target was submitted to experts for decision. 
A new contest has commenced in the non-members class, the 
prize being a Winchester repeating rifle, .22cal., with gallery 
sights, the best two scores of five shots each to win. Re-entries 
unlimited. 
Following are some of the five-shot scores recently made at 
50ft. on the %in. 25-ring target, with light rifle, coarse sights and 
smokeless cartridges: 
C. H. Sidman, 114, 117, 114, 112, 117; E. F. Ball, 113, 117, 115, 115; 
C. G. Blandford, 118, 113; Mrs. E. F. Ball, 112, 116; Wm. -Fisher, 
113. 
In a series of matches between C. G. Blandford and E. F. Ball 
the latter won three out of four. 
We are using Smokeless cartridges, entirely owing to the ab- 
sence of smoke and light report, but they do not- seem to give 
the uniform results that the old black powder ones did. With one 
Ijrand that we used we would occasionally get a strong one which 
would give an unusually loud report and would burst the rim of 
the shell. Witla another kind we frequently find a cartridge which 
gives a very light report, and in the opinion of some of the 
shooters the shots from these strike lower than the others. One 
of our members injured his rifle last fall by shooting .22-short 
Smokeless cartridges. After firing a cartridge, which gave a very 
light report, the shot from which failed to strike the object aimed 
at, he inserted another cartridge and fired, missing again. On 
his return to camp, while cleaning the rifie, he discovered a dark 
ring around the bore, about 4in. from the muzzle. The first bullet 
had stxick at this point, and the second one had struck the ob- 
struction with sulficient force to bulge the barrel. 
From our observations it would appear that the powder does 
not ignite uniformly, probably owing to irregularities in the 
priming. 
We would like to hear from others who have used the .22 
Smokeless. E. F. B.
