A. Cary Smiths Lecture before the seawan-
hnka Yacht Club.

Before the Seawanhaka Yacht CLUB at
Dclmonico's last evening Mr.. A. Cary Smith
lectured on tha construction OF contre-board
yachts. Tho fact that Mr.. Smith des ened the
yachts Comet Dream Yindex. Mndcap. Meteor
Prospero. and Intrepid. and that he has made
a special study OF this class OF naval architcc-
ture for the past twenty years drew together
large number OF yachtsmen who listened atten-
lively.
Mr. Smith described an oyster boat the Col
well. that even in rough. hrnyy weather can
run along the beach ~ well and ms si n ns larger
craft The Admiral sloop. about GO feet long
is. ho said another striking illustration OF the
Stiffness Of this kind OF craft Her lib can be
furled and she can be put in stnys aud libbed ns

drag.
When we sail vessels OF over 100 tons we find
TINT keel md centre honrd perform nearly alike
with some advantage IN favor Of the centre
board in short work 10 windwhrd This was
cons picuOus when the Dnuntlass sailed the Mo-
hawk. Although the former was decidedly the
beSt-shnped vessel she WIS badly beaten to
windward. outcnrrled and outsailed. The Mo-
hawk had nj tho time but fOrtyitons Of ballast :
just enough 20 trim her. This shows that in
certainly true while all sail can be carried. Tho
SHppho. too showed this in England although
carrying there only such bnllnst MS should have
been carried 10y ayessel forty feet shorter.

vessels that arc continually cruising on our
coasts IN all kinds 81 weather. we md that the

amount Of safety.

OF a boy whose Life he Once saved.

The trial, in the General Sessions, Of Peter
o'Rourke. barGeman. on the charge Of killing
Edward Sullivan. OF siS First avenue. on the
27th OF August last, ended yesterday The in
dctment WIS for murder in the first degree.
The testimony showed that Edward Sullivan.
Jeremiah O'Connor. and Patrick Quinn. all
about ten years Of age. and living near together.
went to Pier 4G. East River, to catch fish. They
caught some sinners" and threw them
on the deck OF barge that lay near.
When tho FISH stopped biting. Sullivan asked
Quinn TO collect the catch from the deck OF
tie barge. A Quinn began to climb NJ the
side OF the craft Patrick Dalton, who was at

up brick and hurled i toward THO boys. il
struck sullivan upon the head. He put his
hands 10 his head and began 10 cry. Then he
fell over backward and sank in the river, mo-
meut later his feet rose 10 the surface. O,Rourke
looked down from the barge aud. as Sullivan
sank out oi sight. took up his ptchfork and re-
turned toNwork The body was recovered three
days later. The defence WAS that O'Rourke
threw the brick only to splash water upon the
boys and frghten them away. An EFFORT WIS
made to prove that O'Rourke saved Sullivan
from drowning several years ago. but Judge
Gilderslrevr excluded the testimony. The Jury
convicted O'Kourke OF manslaughter in the
fourth degree. and he was remanded for SEN

The change has been made with the view of giving all subscribers opportunity to see ia what particular we intend to make THE BEE worth One Dollar and Fifty Cents per year, and we believe it unnecessary to call attention to that which is plainly to be seen by every reader of the paper At first we intended to postpone the enlarge ment until the close of the second vol umc, but changed our mind, and this paper, in it's present form is the result
 Our best efforts will be devoted in keep ing up the reputation of THE BEE, and trust that all of its present patrons will say a good word for it to those whom they may know that do not take the paper, and in this way can add many to our list of subscribers.

THE LIBRARY MEETING

The monthly meeting of the Library Association was held last Tuesday even- ing, Jan 7th, at the Grand Central Hotel The meeting was called to order by tho President, MT. D. G. Beers. Mr. Edgar +. Hawley was appointed Secre- tary pro tenn. The minutes of the last meeting Was read and approved. The Committee appointed for repairing the books reported them all in order, and conveyed to the Library, which is now open, for the convenience of subscribers. Mrs. G. H. Browne was voted an honary member, in recognition of her kindness i'll giving the free use of her pleasant parlors for the meetings of the Library Association. The question of diminish ing the number required for d quorm was brought forward and discussed and laid over to be voted upon at the next meet ing. It was resolved to expend thirty dollars ill new books, to be added to the Library as soon as possible. Very many of tue subscriptions for last year and about the middle of January have expired, and its hoped they will be promptly re- newed, so that the new books can be paid r, and perhaps more added To the list
 The following committee were ap- pointed to make tue selection of new books: Mrs. G. H. Browne, Miss Annie Sanford, Miss Emma Beers, Miss Mary c. Morgan, Dr. F. 4. Bennett and Mr Edgar F. Hawley, aided by others who are interested i'll making the Library as attractive and instructive as possible In order to prepare the new books for the Library, the same committee for cover ing books, who were appointed at the last were continued, with the ad- dition of Mrs. L. B. Cook, who has ex- tended the use of her rooms to the com mittec for that purpose. The meeting then adjourned to the first Tuesday in February, when it is hoped there will be Il full attendance.
