“The new club will be a poor man’s organiza¬ 
tion,” said one of those interested. “I don’t 
mean by that that we’ll have a shanty for a 
clubhouse, nothing of the sort, but everything 
will be conducted on a most economical basis. 
According to the plans the new house will be 
a three-story structure similar to the architec¬ 
ture of the Mosquito Fleet club. There will 
be bowling alleys in the basement, pool and card 
rooms on the ground floor and an assembly hall 
on the third floor. It has also been suggested 
to have_ a gymnasium—a small-sized one—and 
if the idea materializes the gym undoubtedly 
will be in the basement.” 
A meeting of the yachtsmen may be held 
early in November when the organization will 
be perfected. 
Dauntless a Houseboat. 
The old schooner yacht Dauntless, famous 
for its race across the ocean with Coronet, and 
as the flagship of the late Commodore Cald¬ 
well L. Colt, is being put in shape by Captain 
James Welch at Essex on the Connecticut River 
by its keeper, Captain James Welch, and help¬ 
ers. The old craft still occupies the berth in 
Sail Loft Channel, where she has been anchored 
many years and will probably remain there until 
broken up, as she is hardly in fit condition to 
move except in placid waters. 
Dauntless was built in 1869. While her upper 
works and spars are far from seaworthy, she is 
tight as a cask below the water line, according 
to Captain Jimmy. She swings to the tide with 
plenty of free water under her keel. 
The yacht is now a houseboat, owned by 
Mrs. Robinson, a niece of the late Mrs. 
Samuel Colt. A shooting club of which Mr. 
Robinson, Henry W. Steers, of New York, 
and others are members, leases and maintains 
it throughout the year. The only time, how¬ 
ever, that they spend any time aboard is during 
the rail shooting season which begins Sept. 12. 
It is because of the prospective visit of the 
club members that Captain Welch is now so 
busy. The yacht’s hull above the water line 
has been given a coat of its conventional black. 
The living quarters built above the main deck 
have been painted, varnished and renovated and 
the deck scraped and cleaned. The captain and 
his wife live below decks, in the quarters fitted 
up so richly by Commodore Colt, while the club 
members are aboard. Mrs. Welch does the 
cooking and knows how to prepare game and 
sea food in a manner that just suits the city 
men. They bring their own butler, who serves 
them at the table. Running water has been 
piped aboard the yacht and the craft has all 
the bath and toilet accessories of a modern 
house. 
New Club in South Boston. 
, Plans are being made to organize a new 
jacht club in South Boston. There are many 
yachtsmen who anchor in Dorchester and Pleas- 
ure bays who are not allied to any of the exist¬ 
ing clubs, and these yachtsmen are thinking of 
founding a new club. It has been suggested 
that a house be built on the Strandway, a site 
not far from the Boston Y. C. Several pros¬ 
pective members, individuals who are influential 
m municipal affairs, have stated their belief that 
the property can be procured for club purposes 
and, bordering on Dorchester Bay in close prox¬ 
imity to the other clubs—the South Boston, 
Columbia, Puritan and Boston yacht clubs—and 
almost opposite the proposed site of the Howe 
Memorial Park, the structure would have an 
unexcelled location. About a half a mile away 
Winchester a Fast Yacht. 
The new steam yacht Winchester, built for 
P. W. Rouse, has had a trial on the other side, 
and made 31 statute miles an hour, according 
to a cable despatch received by Cox & Stevens. 
Winchester is now on her way across the 
ocean. This yacht is fitted with triple screws, 
is driven by turbine engines and uses oil for 
fuel. The. trials were under the management 
of the builders and were on the Clyde. Win¬ 
chester was built by Yarrow & Co., and is 165 
feet long, has a beam of 16 feet, and is in ap¬ 
pearance not unlike a modern torpedo boat, 
being constructed of light steel plating. She 
has, however, excellent quarters for owner and 
guests below, aft, and a large deck dining 
saloon. 
The results of the trial are exceptionally in¬ 
teresting for the fact that this is the first yacht 
in which the combination of oil fuel and turbine 
engines has been installed. The vessel has 
proved a pronounced success, the contract 
speed being exceeded by one knot, while little 
or no vibration was felt by those on board. 
The oil fuel system worked admirably, being 
easy of control, economical and producing little 
or no smoke.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By 
" H “ engravings, ana coiorea illustration 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the moat 
value to the angler who desides to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cut# 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.
