SOME YACHTING NOTES.

W. X. Vanderbilt, II. VI. F1agler, Of the
Standard Oil company; John W. Slater,
Trenor L.. Park. the Goulds and Astors
and other well known m~illionaires spend
the greater part Of August on their superb
yachts.
Nothing shows the growth Of yachting
in America more than the growth Of the
yacht agency. The object of this institution
is to furnish everything that can possibly
DE required on one OF these craft, from a
sailing master and crew 70 the wines at
the festive board. Whether you want to
be absent for a week or a day it's all the
same. You give notice. pay your bill, step
aboard with your guests and that's the end
Of il.
Neils Oelsen, the steward OF the New
York Yacht club. who il authority on all
matters connected with the sport, says he
has noticed during his long experience of
thirty years that when the craze for yacht
ing seizes upon a family, il descends from
father TO son even to the third generation.
The Stevens, Centers, Sears, Webbs and
Vanderbilts are a few Of the examples he
quotes.
Some Of the best yachts that sail on the
inland waters Of the country, are built in
and around New York. Occasionally one
will see a handsome hull being forwarded
to its destination near a lake on a coupled of
platform cars. More frequently, however,
the boat is sent on shipboard TO points along
the coast and even TO California. Several
Of the finest san Francisco yachts were
built in New York.
More yachts change hands in the course
Of a year than people havean idea Of, There
is always an ambitious fellow who wants
something better, and in making n sacrifice
he generally finds plenty Of buyers. You
can purchase a second hand yacht AT a third
or a quarter Of its original cost.
