of Tuesday, Dec. i. The following officers were 
elected: Com., A. H. Alker; Vice-Com., Charles W. 
Lee; Rear-Com., H. Winslow White; Sec, Edward M. 
MacLellan; Treas., Guy W. Buxton; Meas., Chailes D. 
Mower; Trustees, Class of 1906, W. Butler Duncan, 
Jr., and Andrew J. Onderdonk. 
The secretary's report showed a total membership of 
269. and a fleet of 169 yachts, consisting of 17 schooners, 
20 yawls, 32 sloops and cutters, 21 raceabouts and 
knockabouts, 14 catboats, 29 steamers, 4 house-boats 
and 32 launches. 
All the amendments to the constitution were passed 
except the one which related to ladies' privileges about 
the club house and that was defeated. 
Resolutions of sorrow were adopted over the death 
of Julian Rix, who died a few days before the meeting. 
Mr. Rix was to have been elected an honorary member 
of the club. Suitable resolutions will be forwarded to 
Mr. Rix's relatives.

The new home of the Morrisania Y. C. on South 
- Brother Island, has been completed and will be kept 
open all winter. It is hoped that the mernbers will 
make it a point to visit the house whenever it is possible 
for them to do so. The club launch will make its cus- 
tomary trips between South Brother Island and the 
foot of 138th street, East River. 
1^ ^ ^ 
The South Bay Y. C. is to build a club house on 
Cedar avenue, Patchogue, on ground given by Mrs. 
Kate L. Gilbert for the site. It is desired to expend not 
less than $5,000 in erecting and furnishing the new 
building. 1 l.e officers are: Com., Joseph Bailey; Vice- 
Com., A. Rae Storms; Rear-Com., George L. Robin- 
son; Sec, Frank Guttridge; Treas., Edwin Bailey. Jr.

It is very probable that the Manchester Y. C. will 
have a trial boat in the races to be held by the White 
Bear Y. C. for the selection of a challenger for the 
Seawanhaka cup. The boat will be designed by Mr. 
E. A. Boardman, and the same sails, spars and gear 
that were used on Kolutoo will equip the new boat.

The big shipbuilding plant of the Townsend & 
Downey Co., of Shooters' Island, S. I., has been shut 
down and 1,200 men have been thrown out of work. 
Labor troubles are said to be the cause._ It is very 
probable that the business will be reorganized.

The schooner Ingomar, owned by Mr. Morton- F. 
Plant, is now in the south shop at the Herreshnf? works 
at Bristol, where she is undergoing some extensive alter- 
ations. Ingomar is to race in British waters next sea- 
son, and in order that she may secure a better measure- 
ment under the girth rule, now in effect there, her cen- 
terboard has been removed and her lead keel will be 
lowered, so that her draft will be increased to i6fL 
Some changes and improvements will also be made in 
Ingomar's interna! fittings, and arrangements are being 
made for the accommodation of 28 men. 
Edward Marsh Brown, a former commodore of the 
New York Y. C, died on Monday, Dec." i, from kidney 
trouble, at his residence, West i<orty-fafth street, New 
York City. Mr. Brown had been failing for some time, 
but he was confined to his bed only a few days before 
his death. The funeral took place on Friday morning, 
Dec. 4, at All Souls' Church, and many prominent busi- 
ness and club men were present. 
Mr. Brown joined the New York Y. C. in February, 
1877, and his name stood number 72 on tlie club roster. 
Pie was rear-commodore in 1882 and 1883, vice- 
commodore in 1893, and commodore during 1895 and 
ibyo. l^or seven years he was chairman ol the Com- 
mittee on Admissions. He was on the America's Cup 
cotnmittees in 1895, 1899, 1901 and 1903. 
Mr. Brown had owned and built many yachts. In 
1879 he owned the sloop Psyche, 32 tons, and sailed 
her for three years. In 1882 he bought the Julia, 40 
tons, and then built the schooner Nirvana, which, in 
1886, he replaced with the steamer Fedalma, which ves- 
sel he owned for eight years. 
In 1895 he bought the British built steam yacht Syl- 
via, which he subsequently sold in 1898 to the United 
States Government. In 1901 he built the small steam 
yacht Midget for use on the Great South Bay. 
Mr. Brown is survived by a widow, a daughter and a 
son. 
The works of the Roberts Safety Water Tube Boiler 
Company are experiencing a phenomenal rush, having 
many large contracts on hand, among which are in- 
cluded orders for batteries of boilers for vessels of three 
departments of the Government, namely. Navy. War 
and Treasury. They are building some more of those 
large units containing 70 odd square feet of grate sur- 
face each for the revenue cutter service, and have very 
recently shipped large boilers for the U. S. Light 
House Board and the Marine Hospital service. Rob- 
erts boilers have been installed within the last three 
months in the U. S. S. Aileen, U. S. S. Manisees, Kis- 
met. Now Then, etc., in place of other makes of water 
tube boilers, with the result of increased efficiency with 
greater economy and marked improvement generally. In 
some cases where the blower had been used previously, 
natural draft is more than sufficient, and the Roberts 
boiler was installed in the same space as was formerly 
occupied by the other boilers. Within the last week or 
so the Roberts company has closed the following con- 
tracts: Johnson Iron Works, Sea Bay Trans. Co., 
Isaac Brandon & Bros.. Clifton Silk Mills, U. S. S. 
Calumet — this latter in addition to the revenue cutters 
referred to above — and other orders for export.

The Stuyvesant Y. C. held a stag at the clnb house. 
Port Morris. Saturday. Dec. 5, for members and friends, 
which was well attended. Tb.e annual meeting for elec- 
tion of officers will be held on Wednesday. Jan. 20. 
The club house will be open as usual during the winter. 
A new wing has been added to the main building, con- 
taining dining-room and sleeping rooms for guests or 
members living out of town. The club has just closed 
its thirteenth season at Port Morris with the usual 
festivities attending the event, at which were distributed 
the eups woti in the fall regatta. At the October meet- 
ing the initiation fee was made $5, in an attempt to 
keep down the membership, which was outgrowing the 
accommodations of the house. It had not the desired 
effect, however, and a new house will be built during 
the spring and the present one used for lockers.
