On Easter Monday, very good sport was witnessed on the lake belonging to the Albert club, situate in Chalk Lane. A good many visitors travelled from Scarborough, and the various sailings were keenly contested, but, as will be seen from the results, the Scarborough men were beaten by the home club, partly due to over much canvas, though some of their vessels were very pretty models indeed. The races were divided into two classes---10-ton yachts and 20-ton yachts. The judges were Mr. Jones, Searborough, and Mr. Bell, Hull, Mr. John Whiteway officiating as umpire. Mr. J. H. Hobbs, secretary, and Mr. J. Harris, president, worked hard to make ‘the affair a success. ‘The following are the details :— £0-ton yachts. 16 entries, 9 Scarboro’ and 7 Albert.—Heat 1: ‘Active,’ G.

A. Bruce to accept an illuminated address. After referring to his inability to suitably express his opinion of the Commodore, he said Mr. Bruce had always had the interest of the club and the enjoyment of the members at heart. He was not only re- spected in Hull, but all over the country (cheers): He asked the Commodore to accept the gift, as a mark of their affection, and that he might live long and be prosperous (applause). Messrs. Acaster, Smith, Tennison, Roberts, Storey, Twydell, Andrews, Walker, and W. Bruce, each spoke in eulogistic terms of the recipient.—Mr. T. A. Bruce was enthusiastically received. He . was unable to thank them sufficiently for their kindness, but he should value the gift as long as he had breath (applause). The address could not help but carry them back over the eight years he had been Commodore, and it was pleasing to see so many of his old friends present, who had stuck to the club ‘through thick and thin,” He then traced the history of the club since its foundation, and said that the club was one of the largest in the kingdom. They had advanced the pastime, and it was now one of the most intellectual sports of the day (applause). All the improvements in yachts had been form- ed through model yachting (hear, hear.) The commodore resumed his seat, and those present struck up heartily ‘For he’s a jolly good fellow,” and then all gathered round, and “Old Lang hand he had to succumb to a rule which we think is not observed in any other club in England, viz: wearing the boat right round on her touching the weather bank. Syne” was lustily given.--Business over the members settled down to spend the evening in a convivial manner, and succeeded in enjoying 20-ton yachts. 14 entries, 12 Albert, and 2 Scarborough.--Heat 1: ‘Irex,’ A.

Harris, president of the Albert Club. Votes of thanks were passed, and a very pleasant gathering closed with hearty cheers for the visitors and entertainers. KINGSTON MODEL YACHT CLUB. On Wednesday, April 10th, the members of this club mustered in strong foree to do honour to their Commodore, Mr. T. A. Bruce. There was a good attendance, who seemed in the humour for giving honour to whom honour was due.—The Secretary read a letter of apology from Mr. F. B. Ferraby, who, although not present, added his word of tribute to the Commodore’s labours.—Mr. A. Grassam was then voted to the chair, and he in a very elo- themselves to their hearts’ content. Votes of were heartily given, and both gentlemen briefly responded. The address which has been engrossed by Messrs. Barnett & Scott is a very beautiful work of art, and bears the following inscription :—“To T. A Bruce, Esq. We, the undersigned officers and members of the Kingston Model Yacht Club, desire by this address, to signify our high esteem and appreciation of the valuable services and help you have render- ed to the club, by your untiring zeal and energy in promoting its welfare, and by the ability you have displayed as Commodore for a period of 8 years.’’---The address bears at the bottom the names of the President Alderman Toozes, J.P., W. Field, and R. Hodgson, Vice-presidents, about 24 of the members, and the hon. treasurer, Mr. W. Bruce, and hon. secretary, J. R. Wind- sor. The address is suitably ornamented with the ‘Thistle’ in full sailing rig, a suite of nautical necessities, and at the top the flag of the Kingston Model Yacht Club is conspicuous. The address is enclosed in an elegant carved oak frame.—Daily Afail, THE Doings of the MODEL-YACHTSMAN Clubs, Reports for publication must be legibly written, on one side of the paper ow/y, and forwarded to the Eprror not later than the 20th of each month, to ensure insertion in the following issue. Dundee M. ¥. C_—This club had its first turnon Saturday, April 13th. The weather conditions were excellent, a breeze blowing from the Hast, and everything favoured a good afterout noon’s sport. By 38-30 the pond was almost covered by various craft of almost all sizes. Some handsome new yachts were on the pond, with a good turnout of old members; also a goodly number of new ones, so that last year’s cupholders will likely have a tough job to hold their hardly-won laurels. By 3-46 the pond was cleared for the opening race, when sixteen yachts of all classes entered for a hurry-scurry race. Such a race could not be expected to be favour- able to all with so small an area of water, and several were very soon doomed by fouling with one another. Some of the smarter craft soon gotclear, and, with a fair wind, they sailed ahead of the others, and showed their sailing and windward-going qualities to good effect. After a keen contest of three smart boards to windward and three runs back, J. Rowney’s 10-tonner, ‘Whittel’, was first; W. Anderson’s (Commodore) new 15-tonner second; and J. Carnegie’s 10tonner third. At about 4-15 a second hurryscurry race started, when fourteen entered, and some of the smart craft got hopelessly entangled in the middle of the pond, but the ‘Whittel’ again proved the winner of the first, and the Commodore’s 15-touner the second, with Captain Nairn’s 10-tonner third. The keen interest dis- played by yachtsmen and spectators proves that the yachting at the pond is still gaining ground as a popular sport, and the number of new mem- bers who have joined is very encouraging to the club. The handsome improvement which has been made on the pond this winter shows that the Recreation Committee is not altogether uninterested in the yachtingelub. The boathouse was enlarged last year, and the improvement made on the pond this winter prove the interest they take in the welfare of the club. Although the day was good for yachting, it was very cold for spectators, and the large number who attended shows that the public are beginning to take an interest in the sport. The club has made a good start, and hopes are entertained that a good season’s sport will be enjoyed. Aingston (Hull) M.

Bruce's cutter ‘Flying Cloud’ proved the winner, A match for 39-inch length class boats was won by J. G. Storey, from 4 competitors, and a match for 34-inch boats was won by W. Bruce, from 4 competitors. Sweepstake matches for 3 classes were sailed on Haster Monday. Nine 10-touners started, and the winner was J. G. Storey. Hight 39-inch boats competed in another match, and W. H. Roberts’ ‘Dauntless? proved the winner. On each occasion there was a rattling good breeze from the West, and the boats reached through from end to end of the lake with fine speed, and proved a great attraction to a large number of spectators. Mr. W. Hewson acted as starter on the first occasion ; Mr. J. R. Windsor on the second. Mr. T. A. Bruce acted as Judge on both days, London M. VY. C—This institution has been making rapid strides during the recess, and thanks to the liberality of Prince Batthyany (the newly-appointed President), Mr, Drinan (Commodore), Mr. Johnson (Captain), Capt. Methven, Messrs. E. R. Tatchell, C. Toulmin, P. GC. Toulmin, A.J. Little, H. Collyer, W. P. Bartlett, and others, who have made money gifts to the funds, or contributed various articles of utility and ornament, the finances and decorations of the L.M.Y.C., are alike, in a most satisfactory state. The opening match took place on the 28th March, amongst the second class (tentonners), when the entries were :--Mr. J. Pounsett’s ‘Beatrice,’ Mr. Johnson’s ‘Dorothy,’ Mr. ©. Toulmin’s ‘Reve @ Or,’ Mr. H. Fox’s ‘Vixen,’ Mr. E. Tylee’s ‘Gwendoline.’ Ali except ‘Vixen’ started, on the signal been given by Mr. Bartlett, who, as usual, fulfilled mos ably the duties of officer of the day. The wind was of fair strength, W.S.W. getting a trifle more westerly during the afternoon, but the match lost much of its interest, owing to the water being lower than usual, so that, frequently vessels (a /¢ Sultan) grounded on shoals ‘not marked down on the chart.” At the finish, Mr. Tylee won with 19 points, the Captain (Mr. Johnson), being a good second with 16, ‘Reve @ Or’ 9, and ‘Beatrice’ 4. The next match, on the 4th April, was for the first class (15 raters). The entries were :—Mr. Johnson’s ‘Kathleen,’ Mr. Wild’s ‘Dorothy,’ Mr. Greenhill’s ‘Gladys,’ Mr, CG. Toulmin’s ‘Isabel,’ Capt. Methven’s ‘St. Katharine.’ Owing to the water being still very shallow, ‘St. Katharine’ and ‘Isabel’ were absentees. ‘lhe wind proved fluky, from 8.W. but almost died away before the close of the sailing. ‘Kathleen’ and ‘Dorothy’ divided the honors at first, but when the breeze fell light ‘Gladys’ improved, tho’ the former pair had always some points in hand, and maintained 84 THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN AND CANOEIST. a very close struggle to the end of the match, ‘Zephyr.’ ‘Kate’ was first across, but on the re- which resulted thus :—‘Kathleen’ 25, ‘Dorothy’ 23, ‘Gladys’ 16.—The first match for the President’s (Prince Batthyany) second class prize was fixed for the 11th ult., when the entries were so turn Journey was passed by ‘ Zephyr,’ who won the race by a few seconds. The distance sailed numerous that the craft sailed in two divisions: Model Yacht Sailing Association (London ).—We had our opening match for 1889 on March Qth, for a prize presented by Mr. Whiffin; 4 entries, ord class. ‘Cheekee’ Mr. Butcher, 14 points; ‘Rose’ Mr. Barrett, 8; ‘Prokne’ Mr. Pollard, 6; ‘Bee’ Mr. W.

Fox’s ‘Vixen.’ The wind was again aggravatingly baffling and paltry, backing from 8.W. to 8.8.E. then veering westerly again, and all the time too light to fairly test the capabilities of the vessels. Lo make matters worse, the poorness of the breeze conduced to a lot of fouling, and from the wind being so feeble the boats did not get disconnected have done. so quickly as they would otherwise However, there is little doubt that one of the best boats engaged proved the winner, ‘Titania’ and ‘Seabreeze did best at first, but the latter soon fell astern, while ‘ Juliana’ occasionally sailed very well. In the second division, ‘Galatea’ and ‘Vixen’ were the first to score, and ‘Sylvia’ did some good sailing, but, before long, ‘Petrel’ improved her record rapidly. When, after two hours’ sailing, the divisions had to come together to decide the destination of the the prize, ‘Titania’ and ‘ Juliana’ of the first, with ‘ Petrel’ and ‘ Vixen’ of the second, were found to be the qualified candidates. In the final meeting, ‘Titania,’ admirably ‘‘ridden” by Mr. Tatchell, won ‘ hands down,” the score at the finish being ‘Titania’ 18, ‘Petrel’ 6, ‘Juliana’ 9, ‘Vixen’ 0.—On the 18th ult., the first match was sailed for the Commodore’s (HK. I’. Drinan) prize for 8rd clas (240) boats. Five entered: Mr. Toulmin’s ‘Nellie,’ Mr. Collyer’s ‘Genesta,’ Mr. Herbert’s ‘May,’ Mr. Little’s ‘Thistle,’ Mr. I, Tatchell’s ‘Ariel’ The wind was light throughout the day, 8.E. at start, but backing towards the W. with a slight increase of power as the day wore on, At the finish, Mr, Barilett’s card recorded: ‘Ariel’ 18, ‘May’ 10, ‘Thistle’ 9, ‘Genesta’ 8, ‘Nellie’ 1. ‘Nellie’ retired soon after the start. Edgbaston M.Y.C.—This club held the first sailing meeting of the season on Saturday, April 6th, The early part of the aftérnoon was occupied in sailing for practice. At 4-80, a race was started for models of all sizes, no time allowance being given, Started: ‘Kate’ Major Roe; ‘Edith’ Mr. 8. Pollard; ‘Atalanta’ C. H. M. Roe; ‘Red Dragon’ KH. B.

Gilbert, 7; ‘Blinor’ Mr. Barrett, 5; ‘Violet’ (Qnd class) Mr. Wood, 5; ‘Naiad’ Mr. Martin, 4; ‘Mayflower’ Mr. J. Gilbert, 1. Won by ‘Ariel.’— We are glad to say we have got our boat-house in Kensington Gardens comfortably furnished, through the kindness of several gentlemen who take an interest in model yachting, and we are in hopes of a prosperous season. Manchester M. Y. C.—Our fifth season will now shortly commence. A few gentlemen have kindly promised a number of prizes, and we expect to have a good year. There has been many boats built during the winter, all of which are a credit to the builders. One or two promise to be very fast. The steamer men have also done well, two new ones being complete and a third almost so.—The officers for this year are: President, B. Marsden, Esq.; Vice-President, E. K. Chamberlin, isq.; Commodore, E.G. Brockbank, Esq.; Vice-Commodore, C. G. B. Corbett, Esq.; Hon. Sec. and Treasurer, Mr. Gill; Boat-house Sec., Mr. J. N. Dempsey. Corinthian Md. Y. C. (London.)—We have had the following matches since last report. On Saturday, 23rd March, there was a fine breeze from W. by S. when seven 10-tonners started at 3-30, viz :—‘Arrow Mr. G. Ramplen, ‘Gazelle’ My. Hdwards, ‘Lively’ Mr. Jordan, ‘Merlin’ Mr. T. Ramplen, ‘Neptune’ Mr. G. Ramplen, junr., ‘Primrose’ Mr. Church, ‘Sunbeam’ Mr. Hugo. 10 heats were jdone, most of which were weil contested, resulting as follows: ‘Arrow’ 17, ‘Neptune’ 18, ‘Primrose’ 16, ‘Sunbeam’ 19, ‘Gazelle’ 5, ‘Merlin’ 7, ‘Lively’ 15, so that ‘Lively,’ ‘Neptune,’ and ‘Sunbeam’ had to sail in the final 8 heats; these being the 3 crack boats in the club, much interest was felt in their sailing. All the heats were keenly contested, THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN but ‘Neptune’ (our newest boat) had the best of it, and won easily, the scores being: ‘Neptune’ 16, ‘Lively’ 7, ‘Sunbeam’ 5, the 3 prizes going in the order named. Singularly enough they finished according to their length, ‘Neptune’ being 414 x 74, ‘Lively’ 404 x74, ‘Sunbeam’ 394 x 78, thus adding another proof in favour of length. Ou Saturday, 30th March, the match was for 7-tonners, but as this class is going quite out of favour, with our members, only ‘Alert’ and ‘Pansy’ put in an appearance ; these sailed 18 heats, but ‘Pansy’ scored an easy victory, making 38 points, while ‘Alert’ only made 23. On Saturday, 6th April, very little wind, so only two 10-tonners turned up, viz: very interesting sailing was done in the 14 heats. At the 10th they were equal, but ‘Neptune’ had rather the best of it afterwards, and won with On Saturday, 13th April, the following 10-tonners started at 3-30 in a strong breeze from N.N.E.: ‘Arrow’ Mr. Ramplen, ‘Neptune’ Mr. Ramplen, junr., ‘Primrose’ Mr. Church, ‘Sunbeam’ Mr. Hugo. The 86in. boats ‘Arrow’ and ‘Primrose’ were together in the first 12 heats, and they were very evenly matched, being level up to the 1Oth but ‘Primrose’ got the last two, and finally won a well contested match, with 20 points to ‘Arrow’ 17. ‘Neptune’ and ‘Sunbeam’ also gail- ed 14 heats, all of which were very exciting, but ‘Sunbeam’ won with 20 points to ‘Neptune’ 15. ‘Primrose’ and ‘Sunbeam’ had thus to sail the final 9 heats, and as they were quite different both in dimensions and canvas, much interest was excited as to which CANOEIST. 85| had to do. We open the season on April 27th, with an opening cruise, after which we sail every Wednesday and Saturday till the end of September, so we have enough to do. Clapham M. VY. C. (London.)—The club commenced the season with a 9-ton match, which was sailed at Clapham, on April 6th, resulting in ‘Pearl’ winning Ist prize, ‘Ono’ 2nd, and ‘She’ 8rd. A 6-ton match was sailed on the 13th inst.,, in which ‘Janet’ took Ist prize. ‘Edith’ and ‘Superb’ tied for 2nd, but upon the tie being sailed off ‘Edith’ took the 2nd prize and ‘Superb’ the 3rd. ‘Neptune’ and ‘Sunbeam,’ but these being well matched, some 27 points against ‘Sunbeam’ 22. AND would prove Boston M.Y.C.—On Monday, April 15th, and two following days, this club held an exhibition of models, and other objects of a like character; the quality and number of the model yachts, in proportion to the size of the town, and the strength of the elub, being exceedingly commendable, and probably surpassing any town in the kingdom. Whether the Bostonians have patronized the exhibition and made it a financial success we have not heard, but there is no doubt of the suecess so far as the display is concerned, of a fine collection of models. Gateshead M. Y.C._—The members of this club had a 10-ton class race on Saturday, April 6th. 18 models entered, and with the wind on the beam the sailing was soon finished. Mr. Nicholson’s ‘Sunflower,’ won 1st prize; Mr. Crimson’s ‘Orlando,’ 2nd; and Mr. Tindale’s ‘ Ben-my-Chree,’ 3rd. best. They were a tie at the 7th heat, but ‘Primrose’ got the other 2, and won a well sailed match with 18 points to ‘Sunbeam’ 14. This upset all members of the Leeds Model Yacht Club, recently formed, was held at the rooms of Mr. but the latter was over-canvassed for such a strong breeze, while ‘Primrose’ had exactly what suited her, so this was another proof that our little models will not stand too much Fordsmith, 30, Park-row.
