F'OREST AND STflfiAMf 
IIan. 23, 1904. 
Marblehead summer colony have been seen sailing 
small boats around the harbor. Now they want a one- 
design class, to be raced only by ladies, and they 
are going to have it. too. Mr. John G. Alden has 
drawn lines for a boat 25ft. over all; 17ft. waterline; 
7ft. beam, and, 8in. draft, carrying 330 sq. ft. of sail 
under a knockabout rig. The class will be started with 
three boats, and it is Ijelieved that there will be more 
before the season opens. 
Mr. Norman L. Skene, with Mr. Mollis Burgess, has 
designed a boat for ex-Commodore George H. Rich- 
ards, of the Beverly Y. C. This boat will be used in 
Long Point Bay, Lake Erie, where Commodore Rich- 
ards has a summer residence. She will be used for 
afternoon sailing, and for hunting trips. She will be 
40ft. over all; 27ft. waterline; 9ft. 3in. beam, and 2ft. 
6m. draft. She will be fitted with bilge boards which 
are characteristic of yachts sailed in that section. There 
will be a cabin trunk, under which there will be 4ft. 
gin. headroom, with transoms' that will sleep four 
people. There will be 750sq. ft. of sail, and the boat 
will carry only 1,000 pounds of ballast, 
John B. Killekn. 
Desigfn for a 3tiU H«ntingf Launch. 
_ The accompanying plans show the hunting cabin launch 
Estella, owned by Mr. Geo. F. Nock, of Providence. 
This boat was designed to meet the requirements of the 
owner, who desired a boat with good cruising qualities 
rather than speed ; she was to be a craft of moderate draft 
and to be supplied with two thousand pounds of ballast; 
while the addition of ballast does not tend to increase 
the speed, it certainly is an improvement where the boat 
is to be used for rough water, and the owner often makes 
trips from Providence to the westward, and if he makes 
up his mind to go to New London he generally goes irre- 
spective of the weather conditions. 
The cabin is large and roomy, and the cockpit large 
enough to accommodate quite a number of persons. The 
sides of the cabin house and cockpit coaming are of 
mahogany, as also all exterior woodwork, such as doors, 
slides, companion ways, etc. The construction is. rather 
heavy, the keel of oak sided 4in., frames are of oak j3/^m. 
by_ i^in., spaced loin., planking is of yellow pine finishe.d 
%in. ; deck is of clear white pine iVs'in.; cabin house deck 
is of 7/^in. cypress covered with canvas. The headroom 
at the after end of the cabin is 5ft. loin. ; gft. from the 
after end of the cabin house is a bulkhead, this allows of 
a berth on each side 7ft. 6in. in length, which are ar- 
ranged to extend so that two persons can sleep comfort- 
ably on each side ; the clothes presses at the after end are 
of ample proportions. Forward of the bulkhead on the 
port side is a toilet room, and the galley is situated on 
the same side; on the opposite side is a large ice-box and 
locker under a transom which can be used for a berth if 
desired. 
At the forward end of the cabin is a large locker for 
provisions, etc., which extends to the bulkhead aft of the 
water tank. 
The motor, which is a 14 horse-power Buffalo, is 
situated under the forward end of the cockpit, and hidden 
from view to the inside of the cabin by a flight of steps. 
When these are removed there is ample room to get at 
all parts of the motor; there is also a hatch in the cock- 
pit floor to admit of further access to the motor. The 
The gasolene tanks are of heavy galvanized iron, cylin- 
drical in form, and situated under the cockpit well out 
on the sides. An awning that can be removed when de- 
sired affords protection from rain or sun. 
Estella was designed by Mr. F. S. Nock and built at 
his yard in East Greenwich, R. L

Three good sized boats are now being built by the 
Chase Pulley Company, of Providence. The largest 
of the trio is a speed launch that was designed by 
Mr. C. F. Herreshoff. This boat is 43ft. over all; sft. 
extreme breadth; and 6in. draft of hull. The point 
of greatest breadth is about isft. from the stern, and 
she is very fine forward. The hull of the boat is 
doubled planked, the outer skin being of mahoganv. 
The frames are of oak. A turtleback deck extends 
back about lift, from the stem. Just abaft the turtle- 
back is the helmsman's cockpit, with room for two 
persons. Aft of this are the engine spaces, about 
amidships, where the two 20 horse-power Rochet- 
Schneider motors are to be installed. Still further aft 
is the main cockpit, 6ft. long and 4ft. wide. The launch 
is expected to be finished in abotit three weeks and 
then it will be sent to New York to have the motors 
and other automobile equipment installed. After that 
it will be exhibited with otliers at the Sportsmen's 
Show at Madison Square Garden. 
Anotlier launch is being built by this firm. She is 
a smaller boat, designed by Mr. William H. Hand, Jr. 
She is 26ft. over all, 6ft. breadth, and 2ft. draft. The 
planking is of white cedar, fastened with brass screws 
and copper rivets. The sheer strake, decking and cock- 
pit combing are of white oak. The cockpit is i6ft. in 
length and finished in cypress. The motive power is 
a 6 horse-power Rhode Island motor, with a 20-in., 
three blade propeller. , . ^ , 
Jhe third boat is an auxiliary sloop, designed by 
Messrs. Burgess & Packard, for Mr. G. F. Holmei, 
of Plymouth, Mass. She is 36ft. over all; 22ft. water- 
line; loft. breadth; and 2ft. 6in. draft. The cabin house 
is 12ft. long, and there is 5ft. 6in. head room under it 
at the after end. The boat will be equipped with a 4 
horse-power gasolene engine, which is placed forward 
of the centerboard trunk. The propeller shaft will be 
just off the center line of the boat and will run along 
one side of the trunk. All the joiner work on the 
boat will be of mahogany.

Invincible, ex-Intrepid, owned by Mr. H. R. Wolcott. 
left. New York for Bermuda on the morning of January 
8. From Bermuda Invincible will proceed to San Juan, 
where it is thought she will be joined, by Atlantic, Mr. 
Wilson Marshall's new auxiliary. From there the yachts 
will cruise in company. Stops will be made at the Lee- 
w^ard and Windward Islands, Trinidad, and ports in 
Venezuela. On the return trip the yachts will visit 
Curacoa, Santo Domingo, ports in Cuba and Nassau.

third. 
The Corinthian challenge cup race for 15-footers was 
most interesting and will extend over next year. The 
winner of 1903 was Cayenne, with Sabrina second, and 
Bobs third.

Zettler Rifle Clab. 
New York.— The weekly shoot of the Zettler Club, Jan. 12, had 
more than the usual attendance of the club members, due in 
part to the fact that they were to contest for the badge of the 
National Rifle Association, which is one of the many that is given 
annually by the Association to each of the societies affiliated with 
the N. R. A. 
This badge is supposed to be shot for by the members of each 
society, and the name of the winner returned to the secretary of 
the N. R. A., to be recorded in the annual report of the Asso- 
ciation. In this contest the shooting committee decided to have 
the members use the buUseye target, one shot, and the best center 
to count. Wm. A. Tewes won with 43 degrees, H. C. Zettler and 
G. W. Plaisted were tied for second place, each with. 47 degrees.

National Riffc Matches. 
In Washington on Jan. 18 the Board for the Promotion of Rifle 
Practice held a meeting. Representatives of the Army, Navy and 
Marine Corps and National Rifle Association were present.. 
Among the representatives of the latter body were Gen. Bird VV. 
.Spencer, of New Jersey; Major-General Charles F. Roe, of New 
York; Gen. P. Farmer Wanser, of New Jersey, and Major David 
S. B. Chew, of Pennsylvania. This Board determines upon the 
rifle and the regulations of the national contest. A sub-committee 
of the Board reported favorably on dropping, in future contests, 
all members of successful teams. This was earnestly opposed by 
General Roe, of New York. This rule, if adopted, would shut out 
the members of the New York team which won last year. General 
Spencer informed the Board that at its recent meeting the National 
Rifle Association, by resolution, opposed dropping more than 
three members of the winning team. The Board finally decided to 
make no change in this matter. No place has yet been fixed 
upon for the national match.es. New York and New Jersey re- 
spectively desire to secure the contest, but the military members 
of the Board are in favor of holding the event in the Middle West,
