A NEW SLOOP.
She is to be on Finer Lines Than the
Puritan.


From the Near York Tribune.
BOsTON. Jan. 3.-George Lawley &
Son, OF South Boston, have signed a con-
tract to build a new sloop for Gen. G. j.
Paine, of this city. The vessel is intended
FOR speed. Edward Burgess, the designer
Of the famous Puritan and also Of the new
slOop, is busily at work on the plans and
designs OF the vessel. Mr.. Burgess saws
she is to be something like the Puritan,
only a little finer at her entrance. Her
beam will be about 22.3 feet, the same as
the Puritan, aud she will have about the
same outside ballast a. the Puritan, about
- tons. Her length over all will be Is
feet, and she will be IS feet on the water
line. She viii be 8 feet in depth OF hold
and $50 ieet draught, or about the same
as the PuTitan's. The vessel is to be
built ia the best manner, and the ma
terial will be carefully selected. She
viii give the Puritan considerable time
allowance on account OF the difference in
their length. Work will begin on the new
vessel at once. Lawley 4 sons are favored
a second time by being engaged to build
the vessel that will probably contend Tor
the Americas cup against the cutter
Galatea. few DAYS ago the statement
vas made that the Puritan was going 70
England to contend for the Brenton's
Reefcup, now held by the Genesta. Com
mOdOre Forbes says that the Puritan is
not going t. sail tor the cup. she Will be
sailed in this neighbOrho0d, and Comm0-
dore Forbes will use her as a pleasure
yacht for cruising. In the last week work
was pushed along rapidly on the schooner
Gitana, at FISHES wharf, and the craft IS
expected u be ready for sea on Jan. %.
Sb~ floats bigher than last year by
about six inches, notwithstanding
the additional lead put on her keel.
The accommodations for the men are
good. aud the quarters are large and well
ventilated. While in Southern waters
tne Gitana VIII have a chance % try con-
ciasious with the New York schooner
M0utRuk and other iYcTs OF be New
ork Yacht Club. 1le crew OF the GitaBa
are nov on board. Among tbe men is
Cant. Matera. OF tAs Huron, WHO goes for
the cruise as boats vain; also Capt. VIM.
Condor, Of the slOOp Egeria, Who has
been engaged 10 look after the cuisine.
The Git.na will cruise for ABOUT three
months around the West ladies, and will
come back 10 this city the latter part OF
April, in ample time for the opening OF
the Yachting season. While il can be
definitely stated that the Puritan is not
going TO Europe, il is as good as decided
by the owners Of the sChOOpers Fortuna
ana Gtana that these schooner yachts
will cross the WAFER some tine in the
early yachting season aud make cruise
among the British Isles.

a Naval Oh8eer Explains the Cause of
Her Former Failure ia smooth Water.
From the Esao York Sun.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-If the recent
trial under Commander Meade can he
considered as establishing the seaworthy
qualities of the Dolphin and her power to
MAINTAIN the rate of speed expected, the
responsibility for the trial trip failure
must rest on the shoulders of her builder
and Outhtter, Sir. Roach. a prominent
and impartial naval officer, who has made
a close study of the construction of the
Dolphin and her movements during the
early trips, said in reference to this sub
ject:
The cause of the heating OF the shaft
bearings and consequent stoppage of the
vessel was the improper manner in which
the weight Of iron was distributed which
she was required to carry. Mr.. Roach
was told at the time that the load was
hastily and improperly slowed, occupy
Jag only pCr.lon of the boat instead of
being distributed in such manner as to
proportion the strain on the hull as the
designer intended. He was over-conf-
dent, anxious to get the boat of his hands
and receive the balance OF the purchase
money, and paid no heed 10 the warning.
With reasonable care and due attention
the loading OF the Dolphin might have
been so ordered as TO approximate closely
the condition of the boat when fully equip
ped with coal, provisions. etc., for a cruise.
Tnis was not done. Hence, when the
engines OF the Dolphin were run at full
speed, and the sfraining huh forced
through the water, t2ere was q noticeable
tendency to buckle, as the iron freight
was amldehip and the compartme fore
and ait were nearly empty. Tons buck
ling Of the boat threw the bearings out Of
line, and, naturally, the journals heated
in spite OF all the water which could be
poured upon them. In turning the boat
at fun speed, the undue strain on Der hull
was 90 clearly marked as to be noticeable
even 10 a tyro. Soon alter making the
turn it was found that the bearings had
become go bet that it was necessary to
stop and allow them 10 cool"
Several weeks ago this officer predicted
the success Of tie trial under Capt.
Meade, wnO is a thorough seaman, and
has left 0thing und0ne 10 secure and in
crease the efficiency Of his vessel.

4 NOVEL INVENTION.

Trains to Take Up and Discharge Pas
senEers and Goods Without Stopping.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.-Ar. A. F. Godfrey,
a hairdresser and dealer of this city, has
invented q method OF taking up and dis
charging passengers and goods from rail-
way trains which is decidedly novel. and
If adopted will work a complete revOlu-
ton in the matter Of passenger transpor-
tation. The working model and drawings
show main track on the level and an ell
eyated track in front OF an elevated de-
pot, with inclined tracks leading % it.
The idea rs TO start q train from one ter
minus and not 10 have IL stop or slacken
speed until II reaches the other end. At
the same time passengers may be taken
up and discharged at aVs station.
As train reaches station on the main
track the rear car switches OF and runs
up the inclined plane to the elevated de-
pot. At the same time another car runs
down the other inclined plane, is caught
by the pa sing train, whlrled on 10 the
main track and becomes y part Of the
train. The passengers who desire 10 stop
az the mex station pass 10 the rear car.
which Is side.tracked as was the previous
one. and another carload Of passenger IS
taken on. By a very simple cOntriyance,
which acts automatically, wnen a train
gets Witbin certain distance Of a depot
It releases the ear IN waiting. which
starts down the inclined plane just as the
last car Of the train Is switched Of and
starts up on the other side. This transfer
OF cars i made without jerging or danger
or deraiing, and the passengers would
not be aware Of the operation OF coupling
ard uneOuping. There are quite a num-
Der Of details which are remarkably IN
