is building Il yacht in Warren yard, Brew
er, of the following dimensions Length over
all 80 feet and four inches: beam measure
ment 10 feet and 10 inches, draft a tritie over
4 feet. She is to be sloop rugged and will
spread large surface of canvas, and bids
fair to be a speedy boat. The deck timbers
have been put in position and the hull is
now being smoothed and painted. All the
work is being done in the best possible man.
ner.. Mr.. George S. Wardwell, master
workman IN Mcdonald & Browns shipyard
was for some time a foreman in Lawley
yard, the famous yacht builder of South
Boston. The other day he whitfield out a
model for a yacht 81 feet over all, of the Clio

doubt, but lead ballast comes high and
| down this way we prefer better accommoda
tions deck and under deck even at the
sacrifice of speed. All the same we would
like to see yacht built from this model.
