FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
When writing say you saw the adv. in 
“Forest and Stream.” 
The Sonderklasse is still on the bridge and 
the last run is marked by the announcement that 
Messrs. Sumner H. Foster and William H. Joyce 
will build an aspirant from designs by Mr. B. B. 
Crowninshield. Mr. Foster is the vice-president 
of the Massachusetts Y. R. A. and has won a 
well deserved rank among our best helmsman by 
successes in a long line of Opitsahs. Since win¬ 
ning the 22ft. cabin class championship in 1903 
with Opitsah V. (owned in conjunction with his 
brother Mr. Herbert I. Foster), professional and 
political offices have deterred him from full de¬ 
votion to the racing game, but it is known that 
he had much to do with the design of Tyro, 
built for Mf. Joyce in 1905 and nominally de¬ 
signed by Mr. Crowninshield. Mr. Foster acted 
as helmsman on the Tyro in 1904 and contributed 
largely to her win of the championship in that 
year, a win that she repeated this last season, 
although at first hard pressed by the Marie L. 
Their association on Tyro leads not unnaturally 
to joint ownership in the Sonder boat which will 
be known as Marblehead. Mr. Foster sailed Cod 
in a number of the trial races last year and sailed 
on Bonidrei in two of the Quincy cup races and 
is thoroughly posted on the class. 
The reported order of Mr. Benjamin C. Tower 
for a Lawley boat is now confirmed. The Lawley 
corporation has also received an order for another 
boat, designed by Mr. William Gardner for a 
member of the Eastern Y. C. not hitherto an 
owner in the class, but who is in every way fit to 
represent his club ably if selected to compete at 
Kiel. He is now in the inevitable stage 
when secrecy must enshroud his name. 
Yacht clubs pop up incessantly nowadays and 
without the slightest warning. The latest birth 
notice is that of the Old Harbor Y. C. with a 
station at the foot of Mt. Vernon street not far 
from Borden’s yacht yard. The club starts with 
fourteen boats and twenty-five members and a 
club pennant of red and blue with a white 
triangle at the hoist in which is a blue star. 
The officers are: Com., H. A. Vore; Vice-Corn., 
M. S. Kenney; Sec.-Treas., T. F. Bevans; Fleet 
Capt., H. A. Dolton; Meas., W. L. Lewis. 
Mr. Winfield M. Thompson has sold his 20ft. 
cruising catboat Twister to Mr. Frank L. Cole, 
of North Plymouth. Twister is an able, very 
roomy and particularly good looking specimen of 
her type and will be a worthy addition to the 
fleet of her new home port. 
One of the newer yachting monthlies in an in¬ 
teresting article on the Seawanhaka Corinthian 
Y. C. says of its organization in 1871: “Few clubs 
are ‘now alive that remember that famous day 
and year.’ ” Few is a word of considerable 
elasticity, but it seems hardly to apply when one 
considers the twenty yacht clubs organized prior 
to 1872 and still surviving. These are New 
York, 1844; Southern (New Orleans) 1849; 
Mobile. 1850; Carolina (Wilmington, N. C.), 
1853; Brooklyn, 1857; Buffalo, i860; Riverton 
(N. J.), 1865; Atlantic, 1866; Boston, 1866; 
Columbia (N. Y.), 1867; South Boston, 1868; 
Pavonia (Bayonne, N. J.), 1869; Savannah, 1869;' 
Portland, 1869; Williamsburg (N. Y.), 1869; 
Eastern, 1870; Lynn, 1870; Yonkers, 1870; New 
Jersey, 1871, and Seawanhaka Corinthian, 1871. 
This list does not include Canadian yacht clubs 
of which two were organized prior to 1871; and 
there may be one or two other early clubs still 
existing in the United States, for the records are 
not as complete as might be wished. 
William Lambert Barnard. 
The power yacht, building for Mr. Charles M. 
Gould, New York Y. C., at Messrs. Purdy & 
Callison’s yard, is planked and the deck laid. 
Mr. Gould will name the boat Columbine, the 
name of his smaller power craft of last year. 
The yacht is 64ft. on the waterline and 70ft. over 
all.

It is reported that Mr. Eugene Higgins, owner 
of the steam yacht Varuna, designed by the late 
Geo. L. Watson some years ago, has commis¬ 
sioned the successors of the firm, of which Mr. 
Watson was the head, to design for him a new 
yacht larger than Nahma, which will be fitted 
with turbines.
