Address, Alpha, this office. THE Gditorvial MODEL-YACHTSMAN LWotes, us for years to come. all, so began 18387 begin we with wafting good wiskes to 1888. We are rich in these feelings, and can afford to dispense them with a bounteous hand, and we beg all our readers to take their share. Let us look back on ’87, review our battles, and count our victories; they are bloodless ones, and our vanquished foes consist only of such enemies to sport as sloth, negligence, selfishness and fear of ridicule. In the beginning of the year we had hopes that we should be able to enlarge this journal and keep the price stationary. These hopes, however, have faded away, for although our yet circulation has steadily progressed, it has not risen sufficiently to enable us to make the change in that manner. This is owing to the fact that there exists a large number of the fraternity of Model-Yachtsmen, who make very indifferent brethren. ‘They only take a number when it contains just what they want, and for the doings and progress of other Model-Yachtsmen they do not care two straws. We ask of our readers not too hastily to condemn every model sailer with a slovenly boat, a badly shaped set of sails, and a huli resembling a hippopotamus, as a man who neglects to take in The Model-Yachtsman and Canoeist, but one of our correspondents whom we know to be an acute observer says that is how he knows them. We can, however, say that we never knew a man with a handsome craft, well fitted out and well sailed, but what did take our journal, either for his own purposes or the general benefit. Let this pass, however, with the year that is gone. Another year brings fresh hopes. The change is made and we have no doubt will be appreciated by all true lovers of the sport. To the review :—-We opened the season in January, by lecturing the Gateshead Town Council for their want of friendship to model-yachting, and although we have not heard that it induced them to “right about face” we hope it had some effect on them. In the same number we chronicled the successful gathering of the Albert club, with a speech on model-yachting, which has furnished model-yachting advocates with some good texts wherewith to adorn there petitions to Town Councils and other bodies which have the control of lakes and ponds, CANOEIST. ing contribution of great interest. Another year, with its labours on behalf of Model Yachting, has passed away, and we shall know it no more. There is the solace for us, however, that many of its fruits have been pleasant to the taste, and that it leaves us in possession of many things that shall remain with We AND America sent us a model-yacht- a In February,—We lifted up our voice for Scar- boro and Goole, and have the satisfaction of knowing that Scarboro has its club, whilst Goole is still striving in that direction and with increased hopes of success, In April.--The Scarboro club was announced. of a deputation to the Hull ‘Town An account Council was given which has resulted in a special! pond being made in one of the new Parks.
