We're You Going to Build Yaoht7

1t costs much more in proportion to
build yacht than it does vessel OF any
other description. Not only are the very
best Of oak and other materials required,
but the builders expect better pay for
the services Of themselves and their work
men than do the builders of ordinary
vessels. There are yacht builders at
Nyack, Greenpoint, Staten Island, Bay
Ridge, City Island, Pamrapo, and var
ious points along the coast and up the
Hudson. These men will not undertake
to build Il boat unless they can see their
way clearly to the making of hand
some profit. 1t would be difficult to
have a seyenty-foot Yacht built in good
style for much less than $4,000, while
iirst-class schooner Yachts costs all the
way from $4,000 to $4,000. There
are number of schooners of less than
100 tons burden belonging to the New
York Yacht Club which cost at least
$4,000 In fitting up these crafts any
amount OF money may be spent. In
furnishing the cabin Of one Of these boats

Plans Of Representation
To be Submitted to the National Republi-

Several plans of representation in the Ma
tional Republican Convention of 1884 will be
submitted 10 the Republican National Com
mittee which meets in Washington today
Those which attract the most attention are
Mr.. Chandler's and Mr.. Filley =. Mr.. Forbes
is understood not to be strenuous for the adop-
tion of his plan, provided only that proper
safeguards are put around district represen-
tation. Mr.. Chandler's plan provides for fur
delegates and two from each congressional dis
trict as now, and in addition three delegates
at large for each Republican Representative
or Senator in the then existing Congress.
This would give for the next convention
S02 delegates on the old basis and an addition.

plan provides for two delegates at large, one for
each Congressional district, and one for every
additional Senator and Representative. This re-
duced representation allows but total of GIL I.
Both these schemes are based upon the idea of
district representation, with extra delegates to
the Republican states and districts But both
would leave to the districts the privilege of
choosing the additional members which thew
acquire by being Republican. On the other
hand, Mr.. Martin OF Kansas proposes to reduce
to aminimum the powers of the district and
give to the state conventions almost the entire
election. His idea is indorsed bv Mr.. Fil1ev

KNIGHTS OF PYTaIAs.
Second Anniversary of Ivanhoe Lodge,
No. as.

This young lodge celebrated its second an
conferred upon two candidates, after which
the officers and members, with invited guests,
repaired to the banquet hall, where they were
feasted in knightly style. After attending to
the wants of the inner man, speeches were
made by Past Grand Chancellor Wyer Greene,
Chancellor Commander Larrabee of Bramhall
Lodge, Chancellor Commander Elwell of Nun
joy Lodge, Past Chancellor Joshua Davis of
Pine Tree Lodge, each of whom eulogized
Ivanhoe, the young and beautiful, formerly
the "baby," but now grown to manhood. Re-
marks were made by many other members,
which were interspersed with music by the
"band."
Grand Vice Chancellor H. l. Nelson pre-
sented the history of the lodge. from which we
learn that one year ago this lodge numbered
ITO members 1t now has membership of
225, with a good fund in the treasury. The
history cleses with the statement that, although
the lodge is one year older, the age of the
membership will average considerable less than
it did one year ago. Not one death has yet oc-
CURED among tho members of Ivanhoe; but,
said the historian, who knows which one of US
will be the first to answer its summons, and he
closed this last subject with touching appeal
to all loyal knights.
Songs were sung and stories related in a
manner peculiar to the brotherhood, and those
who participated will ever remember with
pleasure this second anniversary. The exer-
cises concluded by all joining in the song Of
"Auld Lang Syne."
Too much praise cannot be said of the man
ner in which the committee having the matter
in charge carried out the work to which they
were respectively assigned.

The Mendoza,s Experience.

The steamer bark Mendoza of Bath, which
was blown off to st. Thomas while on her first
voyage to New York recently, has arrived at
the latter city. Captain Tucker relates the
following experience:
Soon after we left port we heated an engine
pin, everything being new, and had to shut
down steam. We were without steam for
eighteen hours. A strong breeze sprang up,
and our light ballast was not sufficient to pre-
vent us from drifting off. saw could not
fetch Cape Cod and it soon became evident
that there was nothing for us but an impromptu
trip to the BerluudaS. We had taken on board
most of our provisions for the entire trip, and
had coal enough, for the reason that we
couldn't use the coal in the heavy weather We
had had, the propeller blades being SO far ont
of the water that our stream was PRACTICALLY
useless You see how these cabins and state
rooms are equipped-equal to the best pleasure
yachts. Well, of course we were comfortable,
but Mrs Packard and her daughter had never
been on an ocean voyage, and were very sick
Tor two or three days; and our sudden change
OF port was to them great annoyance and
fright. We were in eale that kept US some
of the time tipped oyerlat an angle of 40 de-
greeS. That tumbler rack hanging there
touched the ceiling. A big story; but Mrs.
Tucker will tell you its true. Could the ladies
climb from ON side OF the Lcabin to the other?
Well, not very much. We were twenty-three
day to St. Thomas, reaching there December
Y. Our cabin passengers were quite contented
after their initiation, and had plenty Of read
ing on board to occupy their time. After we
got south OF the Both degree we had fine
weather. We made for st. Thomas only after
continuous westerly winds had settled the fact
that We couldn't reach the Bahamas We
shall go up to Delameter's wharf for some re-
pairs and sail for Buenos Ayres in few days
with cargo OF general merchandise, and re-
turn with hides and wool. We shan't put ont
again without plenty of ballast.
