Liris Sold. — Messrs. Macconnell & Cook have just sold 
the 57ft. yawl Liris, owned by W. D. Rose, U. S. N., to 
General Francis E. Waters, of Baltimore, Md. Imme- 
diately after the sale the yacht was fitted out and started 
for Castine, Me., where Gen, Waters wili use her during 
the summer, prior to taking the craft south for the winter 
of 1904-5. This firm has also sold the 50ft. power yacht 
Aloha, owned by Mr. W. H. Watrous, to Stanley L. 
Conklin, of New York city, who will use the craft about 
his summer home at Huntington, L. I.

Marion Reaches New Orleans. — The Boston 25ft. 
cabin yacht Marion, sold by Dr. E. W. Gehen to Messrs. 
Geren and Wilson, of New Orleans, arrived there on a 
Morgan Line steamer Saturday, July 2, and she made a 
very favorable impression on the Southern yachtsmen 
who have seen her. She is of the racing^cruiser type, 39ft. 
long on deck, and is very finely finished throughout. 
Marion was sailed from Boston to New York by Capt. 
Cromwell, who sailed Calypso over the same route.

Difficulties of Chewink III. — The other Boston 25- 
footer, Chewink III, purchased near two months ago, has 
had a hard time to be shipped south. In reaching New 
York from Boston she was weather-bound for days, and 
when she did get there several weeks ago, there were 
provoking delays to find a steamer wide enough to accom- 
modate her length of A9V^- It is n °w hoped that she 
can be loaded upon the Morgan Liner El Alba, which has 
a breadth of 50ft., sailing Saturday, July 9. The freight 
steamers sail on Saturday of each week, arriving at New 
Orleans on the following Thursday. These big yachts 
which are migrating south have to be shipped athwart 
ship on top of a hatch.

John Dickerson Dies. — John S. Dickerson, a well- 
knOwn yachtsman, died at the Plaza Hotel, New York 
city, on July 4. He was seventy-seen years old. Mr. 
Dickerson has owned numerous yachts ; among them were 
Countess of Dufferin, Geraldine, Clifton, and Madeline. 
The latter boat, a schooner, defended the America's Cup 
in 1876.

News of the Seawanhaka Cup Defenders. — The first 
trials to select a defender for the Seawanhaka cup have 
commenced, and will be held every Wednesday evening 
and Saturday afternoon. The boats will be towed from 
the headquarters at Dorval to Pointe Claire, and will be 
sailed over the regular Seawanhaka cup course. 
The greatest competition will be between Thorella II., 
last year's successful defender, and Noorna, the first of 
the two new boats. 
The second of the new boats, /Solus II., it is feared, 
will not prove up to the mark in the matter of speed, be- 
ing too favorable to light winds, and far too tender. 
Even the new spoon-like bilgeboards seem to be unable 
to keep her up to the weather sufficiently. Noorna, how- 
ever, is looked upon as a very smart boat, and though she 
will be sailed against Thorella upon her merits, it is gen- 
erally expected that she will be the defender. 
As far as can be told now, the crew of the defender 
will be much the same as that of last year, and, at any 
rate, Charles H. Routh will be at the helm again.

Herreshoffs to Build Schooner for Emperor Wil- 
liam. — It is stated on good authority that the German 
Emperor has ordered a schooner from the Herreshoff 
Mfg. Co. This vessel will be very similar to Ingomar, 
now racing in German and British waters.

Eunomia Launched.— There was launched from Shep- 
pard's yard, Essington, N. J., on July 3, a new auxiliary 
built for Rear-Commodore J. Anderson Ross, of the Phil- 
adelphia Y. C. The boat is 69ft. over all, an d 13ft. 
breadth. She is equipped with a 50 horse-power gasolene 
engine, and is lighted by electricity.

yacht Gunreda, owned by Mr. James Ross, char- 
tered to Mr. Winslow S. Pierce; the steam yacht Ad- 
miral, owned by Mr. George M. Sheldon, chartered to

worth cup races,, was shipped on the steamer Minnehaha

A Delaware Cruise. 
A party of twelve — Messrs. Noyes and Shallcross, of the Red 
Dragon C. G, Philadelphia; West, Moorhead, Stark, Charles 
Smith, Lutz and Howard McNiece, of the Park Island C. A.; Car- 
rnalt, Hoyt, Pollard and Hand, of the N. Y. C. C— cruised the 
Delaware over the Fourth, Noyes, Shallcross, Pollard and Car- 
malt starting from the Water Gap and joining the rest of the 
party at Easton, from which point the trip to Park Island was 
easily made in two days, leaving earlv Sunday morning and reach- 
ing the Island at 4 o'clock on the Fourth. Perfect weather was 
had, and all voted it a most enjoyable time. There was no 
trouble at any of the rapids, and all were run, including Foul 
Rift, to Wells' Falls, just below Lambertville, which, owing to 
comparatively low water, was carried around — or, rather, paddled 
around — through the Raritan feeder for a mile or more, when the 
river was taken again. It would seem to the writer that no better 
time for a Delaware run could be had than October, after the 
fall rains, when the. river is high; with all the autumn coloring 
along the banks, with mellow days and crisp, cool nights — cer- 
tainly there is no stream anywhere in the Atlantic Division offer- 
ing such combinations of possibilities to the cruiser. Mem. : 
Don't stop at Lambertville over night if your runs can be ar- 
ranged to do otherwise. The best hotel is something of a 
"singed cat," looking a deal worse than it is, which isn't saving 
much. Frenchtown for meals cannot be beaten. It is needless 
to say that, the never-failing hospitality of the Park Island boys 
was much in evidence at the end of the cruise, of which all the 
visitors were duly sensible. The Delaware River for a Division
