YACHTS FoR SPEED.
Deep Keel Not as Good az Centroboard.
Scotch Yachtsmen.

| HCOtCn 1AchtAmeus
At the late meeting of the Institution
of Naval Architects at Glasgow, Mr.. h.
Martell. the chief surveyor, Lloyd's Reg
istry. gave some very interesting results
| OF his researches on the comparative
merits of deep keel and centreboard
yachts for racing purposes.
He gives the preference to the latter.
He says: 1T wonid appear that the
American type Of yacht possesses greater
stiffness. and therefore greater sail carry
| ing power; 1t has, by reason Of the
centreboard, greater resistance to leeway,
is fitted with better sails tortoise hauled
sailing, and has practically more skin
friction and wave msking resistance at
all ordinary speeds, while the only point
on which the British type has the advan I
tage Is that she is safer in bad weather
on the open sea with large spread OF
canvas"
This English expert, therefore, is not
surprised that ''all the recent trials of
speed between the British and American
types should have resulted in the triumph
Of the latter. The scientific experiments
Of Mr. Froude and his son have conclu-
sively demonstrated that increase
OF ships beam does not always
Increase resistance, and hence breadth
may, under certain limitations, be com
patible with high speed. The narrow,
deep and heavily ballasted British yacht
loses the advantages Of breadth without
gaining greater racing power, while the
broader centreboard yacht secures these
advantages and. with less displacement.

The younger generations of darkies

colored population In all OF tho southern

such numbers that the majority barely
