new YORK'S PRIDE
A Brief History of the New
York Yacht Club.
HOW AND WHEN 1T ORIGINATED.

Tho Growth of the Institution During the
Club House and the Model
Group of Models.
The New York Yacht club is n liberal
spirited and patriotic organization. 1t has
a history as interesting as it is fascinating.
Says a New York correspondent of The Bos-
ton Herald:
1t is about the last beacon Aght on the
shore Of this countrS's former maritime su-
premacy. Its squadron of trim and costly
yachts is nearly the last vestige of a mer-
chant fleet that once challenged the com
bined fleets of the world for superiority, and,
as the guardian of the Americas cup, the
New York Yacht club during tho past three
years has become dear to the popular heart
throughout the land, from north to south
and from ocean to ocean
1t was on board of the schooner yncht
Gimcrack, as she lay off the Battery at New
York on July 80, 1874, that the present club
WINS organized. Nine yacht owners-gentle-
men and thorough sportsmen all-convened
informally in the Gimcrack's cabin at that
time and voted j. c. Stevens commodore,
adopted the title of New York Yacht club,
and agreed to make Immediately n squadron
cruise up Long Island sound, touching at
sum h"A ~ hS VIZ llii hlhl NthLItI "Oull
permit, and proceed as far to the eastward as
Newport, r L The day Aug. o. after this
little squadron OF New York pleasure crafts
arrived at Newport it was Joined by Capt.
X. b. Forbes, who was cruising in the pilot
boat Belle OF Boston, and Col. William p.
Winchester, in his schooner yacht Northern
Light. The germ of the present large fleet
of the New York Yacht club was composed
of tho yachts Gimcrack, Spray, Cygnet, La
Coquille, Dream, Minna, Mist, Petrol, Ida.
1t was a feet of donnie boats and a gath
ering of choice spirits, all but two of whom
Messrs. Edgar and Schuyler-are now dead.
Newport rejoiced, at the time, in the presence
there OF the New York yachtsmen, and the
citizens of that place have never failed since
in regarding the annual arrival of the club as
q fixture. Many are now living who can re-
member the picturesque appearance of Now
York's first yacht feet. Each and all were
natty looking crafts, and, in their appear
ance, clippers in the highest degree. There
a s%auciness in the lively spring of the
sheer, a latent power in the raking stem and
bow, speed in the thin quarters that were cut
clean and sharp to the transom, and above
decks, that were free from bulwarks and
nearly awash, the masts of these old time
raked jauntily in true Baltimore
style.

American yachtsmen know the i~nfuenns,ex-
ercised by the theories that nave been pub
lished abroad From 1876 began the era of
deepening and narrowing the American
yacht, and the sad capsize of tho schooner
Mohawk no doubt accelerated the adoption
of this change of proportions by the yachts
men on this side of the Atlantic. Conse-
quently, we SEQ the production then of such
deep seagoing crafts as the schooners Morse
man, Intrepid, Fortuna, ETC., the two latter
vessels being as near English in their general
contour as the initiative powers of their de-
signer could create. The centerboard model
was deepened, too, as n comparison of the
handsomely plastic model of the Montauk
with her predecessors will show. There is a
goodly array Of cutter models TINT belong in
tie club, and the visitor mist DO very
strongly impressed with the great range of
possibilities that the science of yacht design
ing embraces; for these deep, narrow, ''slab-
sided" so to speak, vessels are as unlike the
native type of yachts as anything can be,
and nowhere olse in the world is this enor-
nous difference IN dimensions, proportions
aud form of yachts set forth so clearly,
forcibly and i~nstructively as it is upon tho
walls of the New York Yacht clubs model

ORI0INAL SAIL PLAN OF THE
These old time yachts, in their rig and
model, were artistically symbolical of life
and motion, and suggestive to a charm Of
those poetic nautical creations that were
born often in the fancy of such romancers of
the sea as Michael Scott, Marryatt and
Cooper. Say what one will, old yachtsmen
find little comfort-and, in some features,
less philosophy-when contrasting the
beamy, buoyant yacht of bygone days, SO
birdlike in its appearance, with the modern
pleasure crafts. Yachts, like women, they
say, should be beautiful, and who can endure
the appearance of the modern racing vessel,
with its straight sheer, heavy looking as the
ridge of a house; perpendicular bows, as
dead to the eye as n stone wall, and masts rs
lifelike in their uprightness as telegraph
poles7 -
The first election of officers of the New
York Yacht club was held at Windhursts
March II, 1S45, and following is tho roster:
John G. Stevens, commodore.
Hamilton Wilkes, vice commodore.
John G. Jay, recording secretary.
George B. Rollins, corresponding secretary.
William Edgar, treasurer.
Fairly launched, and so popular, too, the
club began to increase its membership i'm
mediately, and, in truth, as the records attest,
seldom, or never, has there been n general

Mass, enjoys the distinction of being the first
yacht commodore in America In passing it
may be said here that the first yachting or
ganiZation in America was that of Forbes.
and his friends of Boston in the year 1885.
This little yacht club lived until the CONNER
cial panic of 1887, and then went under, and
at the meeting of Feb. IL, 1S47, the triangu-
lar blue pennant, with n red cross and n soli-
tary white star in its center, which signal
the club flies today, was adopted, the pre-
vious signal flag having been much criticised.
This signal was first sent abroad when car
ried by the yacht America to England in
1851, and under it the famous clipper and
her gallant crew surprised the naval world.
British y~achtsmen, generally speaking, at
that time knew nothing of the New York
Yacht club as an institution, but the intro
duction of American yachts into British
waters will be remembered, no doubt, as long
as history lasts. On July s, 1857, the cup
that the America wrested from the worlds
yacht squadron was rendered to the club for
guardianship by the owners of the yacht
America, Messrs. Stevens. Wilkes, Finley and
Schuyler. The custody of this emblem of
yachting supremacy, which was to carry for
ever with its possession the acceptance of any
challenge from any nation, was unanimously
accepted by tho club, and how well the New
York Yacht club has fulfilled the trust no
Intelligent reader need be told here.

Within the last decade the growth of the
New York Yacht club has been rapid, in
deed. In 1873 the club had $50 members and
30 schooners, &c sloops and IA steamers en-
roll"d. At the present time the club consists
of $50 members, with a fleet of 1913 vessels
7d schooners, CO sloops. 40 steamers and 8
steam launches. or this large number of
members, GIL arc active member In a So
cial scHsc the club is not so exclusive as in
former times, and, comparatively speaking, is
moro Of asociul organization now than in the
old days. The entrance fee, too, has always
been, until lately, 500. Now it is only $50,
with annual dues of S25 from each member.
The prcrogative OF ~"blackballing" is not ex-
ercised so much nowadays in the election of
new member as formerly. Yacht owners
only are eligible to offices, and n~on-yacht
owners TO places on the several committees.

members, are entitled to the privileges of the

government of political corruption and all
venal oiiceholders. 1t was called "Muni-
cipal hall, - and was designed for tho special
service of the Committed of seventy which
body after q few years broke up its organiza-
ton, and the house then passed into private
hands. 1t was used for social purposes until
the New York Yacht club leased it in 1884.
For years previous to the occupation of these
promises the club had been cramped for club
house facilities, so steady and rapid had been
its growth, and though a short time only has
elapsed since 1t moved from the southwest
corner of TwentY-seventh street and Madison
avenue to those more commodious quarters,
tho need of n still larger house is being felt
at tho present time.
There are no high, old fashioned steps to
climb when entering the horse, the ease of
which is about the first thing to strike tho
observation of the visitor. A short vestibule
betwixt folding double doors leads into a
wide corridor, along the floor OF which is
laid a narrow strip of carpeting. The eye
meets Immediately on the walls pictures,
photos and autographs of large size, and
tastefully set in frames. Needless to say,
perhaps, that these pictures in their charac-
ter arc strictly nautical-sloops, schooners,
yacht regattas, etc., etc. On the right hand
Of the lower hall, close to the vestibule, is
the reception room, which lately has been
newly furnished. -
But each and other features of the club
house are dwarfed when compared with the
collection of yacht models that this room con-
tains. Nowhere in the world are there so
many models exemplifying clipper naval
architecture, and the continuity of which, in
illustrating the evolution of tho sailing yacht
since 1910, is so perfect. Generations Of
yachtsmen yet unborn will reap the benefit Of
this collection, to study which is as fascinat-
ing rs it is pleasing and instructive. The eye
can feast here upon the old time clipper, tho
model of which is of Swedish origin A
straight sheer, great amount of dead rise, full
bow, raking above water and clean below at
the fore foot, with a run beginning forward
of midships and ending at the stern post as
thin as a knife, were the cardinal features of
tho best sailing clippersa century ago. Some
