The Houseboat Ceair.— Mr. Charles M. Blydenburgh, 
of Riverhead, L. I., has had built at Dimon’s shipyard 
the houseboat Ceair, which was designed by himself, 
and she contains many original ideas. She was put 
together under his supervision, in the strongest manner 
possible, and of the best materials. One of its most 
striking original features is a long overhanging bow, 
which is cut back so far that one will be able to step 
upon the beach without the use of docks or attendant 
skiffs. Ceair is 12ft. wide, 35ft. long and 7^ft. high. She 
is being built on the Mississippi River style, with a loft. 
stern paddle. She will be propelled by a 10 horsepower 
gasolene engine. Four staterooms, each with two berths, 
a dining and reception room, a kitchen and motor room 
are provided for. The forward deck is 8 by 12ft., the 
after deck 6 by 12ft., each covered by an awning. There 
are four windows on each side of the cabin house. The 
craft will be christened Ceair, a most appropriate name, 
indeed — and Mr. Blydenburgh and his family expect to 
“take lots of it” during the coming months in cruising 
about Peconic and Gardiner’.s bays and through the 
canals to the Great South Bay.

American 'Furbxne for German Emperor. — Accord- 
ing to German sporting papers, the Kaiser is having a 
turbine motor boat built at an American shipyard. The 
turbines are said to be of an entirely new design, in- 
vented by a German- American of the name of Grabart 
Sellin. It is asserted that these turbines will revolu- 
tionize the building of such craft. The yacht will be 
■78ft. long. Her engines will be 3,000 horsepower, and 
she will have a speed of nearly 60 miles an hour. — New 
York Sun. 
Warrior Arrives. — The twin-screw steam yacht War- 
rior arrived at New York on Sunday, July 9, from Mar- 
seilles via Gibraltar. She was one of the last vessels de- 
sic' I hv the late George L. Watson, and was built last 
V’ ■'^ards of the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company, at

line. 32ft. t..n. breadth, and 14ft. 3in. draft. Her tonnage 
is 1,097.80. On the passage over Warrior averaged 14 
knots, which is two knots below her average speed. Cap- 
tain McLean is in command, and she has a crew of forty- 
six men. 
Mineola- Virginia Match Race. — The amateur match 
race between the two 70-footers, Mineola and Virginia, 
will take place off Oyster Bay on Wednesday, July 26. 
Both boats will be sailed and manned throughout by 
amateurs.

C. Drexel has purchased the steam yacht Veglia from 
the estate of Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. Veglia is 
a steel screw steam yacht 248ft. over all., 31ft. breadth 
and a draft of i8^ft. She was built at Glasgow in 1895

pesaukee Y. C., for a copy of their club book, and to Mr. 
Everett Paine, Secretary of the Corinthian Y. C, of 
Marblehead. 
Courier and Louise Chartered. — The steam yacht 
Courier, Mr. B. F. Keith, owner, has been chartered for

important event in yachting circles at Chicago^ will be

2 o’clock July 29. There is a larger number of entries 
than there were last year, when there were ten starters, 
the record time being 37I1. 40m., made by Vencedor, 
which boat beat out Vannena for first prize by 4m. 40s. 
actual time. In addition to the boats which sailed last 
year it is expected that the new yawls, Juanita, Arcadia 
and Delight, will enter, and with Mr. Gillett’s schooner 
Uncas, there will be at least fifteen starters. 
Neola II. Sailed by Her Owner, — Credit was given 
to Mr.^ Addison G. Hanan for having sailed the New 
York C.’s one-design boat, Neola II., to victory in the 
race at the Larchmont Y. C. on July 4. This was not 
correct and the boat was sailed in that race, as in all 
others, by her owner, Mr. George M. Pynchon. 
It ■? R

K. Vanderbilt, Jr., of the Seawanhaka-Corinthidh Y. C.,
