bays and sounds afford such broad en- couragement to the amateur sailor, only in the present generation have yachtsmen sought each his own man-of- war. All one would have to do to make naval vessel out of such a craft as the Giralda, for example, would be to put on gun mounts for four-ineh, rapid-fre guns, two forward and two aft, and then add twelve, six and one-pounders as desired.
 Suppose we choose for the yachts proportions $50 feet length, A feet beam and 20 feet draft with her coal in. On those lines the greatest combination of comfort, safety and efficiency would, it seems to me, be obtained. The di- mensions of the ideal sailing yacht, judging from those of Vall1yrie III. and Defender, seem to indicate an average beam of about % feet, with the enormous draft, comparatively, of IS or 20 feet. But no one would choose cup racer for pleasant craft and A feet beam, while ample for comfort below decks, is, in proportion to the length of $50 feet, not too much to jus tify the expectation of a speed of 30 knots an hour.
 The steam yacht designed for a spe- cial purpose is no more likely than the sailing cup racer to meet the proper ideal.
 Jules Verne's Stiletto was not only a marvellous pleasure craft; her fighting equipment made her the scoarge of the seas, but she was never built. The tor pedo boats recently constructed for the British na7y-sueh as the Boxer, for example, with mean speed of 20 knots and racing record of 90. 35 knots-are more likely to fill the builders eye in the next generation as models for a yacht than such racing machines as the Norwood, which for two hours in 1890 developed speed of 30 miles per hour, or the Vanoose, which astonished ex- perts in New York waters by running all around the Mary Powell, the rec ord-breaking passenger carrier of the Hudson river. But their model is not to my taste, even though the Boxer has the serviceable length of 200 feet, which enables her to store away a quantity of useful things. and people, and is above all absolutely free from vi bration, the famous Englishman, Thorneycraft, having so deftly slowed the various parts of her machinery as to perfect her balance throughout.
 The king of Siam, who had money enough to build yacht and brains enough to design her, ordered several years ago, ot Leith, s,000-ton private cruiser, of steel, 275 feet over all, fin ished with lockwood, furnished with

and otherwise served by the same force. She may not be able to rise from the surface of the ocean to skim along among the clouds, or to sink from the surface to traverse the depths, but she must be able to move speedily at will, upon that surface, without carrying cumbrous engines and boilers in her vitals, without transporting enormous stores of bulky fuel, be that fuel coal, petroleum or compressed cubes of some new material. Her pro- peller might be driven by electricity, not generated from the friction of her own passage through waves, but cer- tainly obtainab1e independent of any power station. That is guess work.
 To solve this problem to-day, we must remember that the ideal yacht of our time is living boat, not racing machine nor man-of-war Any change in one direction means change in several corresponding dimensions. Her dimensions cannot be increased without adding to her machinery Her boilers, we will say, should be tubular, of the Hodgkins pattern, or Belknap boilers, fed automatically and fifty per cent. lighter in weight than the Qrdi- nary commercial dubious boilers Her engines might be quadruple ex- pansion, of a peculiar type, and built right in her hull. Her propellers of manganese bronze, from the Cramps foundry Her armament Driggs Schro- der guns, from the same source. And her material-let us pause moment over this question of material
 Aluminium has been the great fake metal of the world for several years. So has nickel. If rich man wanted to advertise himself, he could build yacht of aluminium, and, for the mat ter of that, he could build a yacht of gold. But neither of these would be an ideal yacht from practical mans point of view. The practical man will build of open-hearth steel plates, every time, although iron, were it as easily handled as steel, would serve as,wel1.
 No plate riveted on the ideal yacht should be less than 3 feet wide and 12 feet long, and they are better when bigger, up to a limit, say, of 30 feet in length and in breadth. If she's to be $50 feet ln length, and of steel, the weight of her materials would not be less than 2,500, ,00o pounds. If aluni- nun plates could be rolled of sufficient size, a saving of two-thisds of that weight might be made. But what evil dence is there, as yet, that an aluminium plate of proper size and tensile strength ever has been or can be rolled? It seems to me this is one of the most pre- +an+io,,s metals ir, ayisfanea vvharn ;S the performance? CHAs. H. CRAalP.

toy, not racing machine, nor yet man-of-war, but a pleasure craft whose proportions, materials and equipment shall be the most useful, luxurious and effective that unlimited money can procure. The recent an nouncement that Mir. Henry Mccall mont's thousand-ton boat, Giralda, is not only the fastest yacht afloat, but can readily be so armed that she would be a formidable addition to the British navy, has been followed by an order from a rich and famous Ameri- can to the firm of Cramp $ Sons for a steam yacht bigger, faster and bet ter than the Giralda in every way. That order will be filled, for it is as yet by no means true that the limita- tions of the yacht have been so nearly reached as have those of the express train and the trotting horse. But do believe that perfection in the battle ship, the armored cruiser and the great steel seagoing yacht has been almost attained, and that, too, here on our own American shores.
 What should the proportions of such a craft be? There has been but little notable change in the model for fifty years. The form of the practical craft has been modified by almost infnitesi- nal degrees. Consider the difference between the printing press of Franklin and the printing press of Hoe. In the century that has seen the one grow into the other there have been as great and as gradual changes in ships. Yet until twenty years ago the sailing yacht continued to be the favorite; a steel cruiser was not thought of as pleasure craft. Even in Great Britain, the sea-girt island, whose innumerable
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-06-30

fighting, with no clinches, where blow for blow is delivered, Fitsimmons would show up the better by reason of his greater hitting powers.
 The exact opinion each entertains of the other will interest sportsmen throughout the land.
 Il don't mind telling you, or don't mind telling Fitzsimmons, how I mean to fight him." Jim said to me a fort night ago in an uptown hotel. ''I have made study of this man, and know his weak points. His head is one of them. That head won't stand much punching. If 1 land four or five fair blows on his jaw he will become so dizzy that he will soon be at my mercy. l won't be in any hurry, however. I will take his measure carefully and polish him off at my leisure. l know that he is as cunning as a rat and as tricky as a fox. This, however, won't amount to much with me, as don't intend to let him bit me one fair blow if 1 can help it, and think 1 can. There are times when Fitz is fighting where he rather drops his guard, leaving his jaw open. Choyn- ski found this weak spot when he left 1t uncovered at their meeting in Boston. On that occasion Joe nearly put him out Another stiff punch would have done the trick. If he leaves a few openings like that for me I certainly will do the trick in quick order"
 Corbett laughed quite heartily when I told him that Fitz informed me that he meant to do considerable inflghting and not stand off and let the Cali fornian jab him.
 ''Oh, I'll be with him." returned the champion, cheerily, ''when it comes to infghting. am a good deal stronger than he and a better wrestler. I'll twist that red head of his off if he makes a play for my stomach, as he proclaims he will :"
 Then the big fellow grew medita- tive
 ''There is only one way" he con- tinued, "in which this Australian can whip me, and that is by my allowing him to punch me, but you can bet all the money you like that I will come out of the fight without even black eye. never got black eye in my life, and I don't intend to.
 Now for the other side of the picture
 The auburn-haired Australian is every whit as confident of victory as the big Californian. I have talked for hours in my office with Fitzsimmons over his coming fight with Corbett. Long be- fore he was matched with Jim he had the idea so fixed in his brain that he
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-06-30

could thrash the champion that be had already the battle fought and won in his own mind.
 "I can whip that fellow sure" he was wont to observe every time he visited me and glanced critically at a big erayon of Corbett which hung over the mantelpiece. He's no better than 1 in any way I'm just as clever as he. I can hit harder, am perhaps little triclzier, and never lose my head. He lost his head with Mitchell at Jackson vile, and he ought to have lost the fight on foul. As said before, if he loses his head with me, I'll find it.
 "How am going to fight him? We'll, that I can't exactly outline l never know just how I will fight man until I get into the ring with him. You have to fight different men in different ways. Of one thing you can rest assured, if Corbett doesn't come to me, l will go to him. If he tries the run ming trick, he'll find me pretty good sprinter. The fight will be a short one; it won't last the twenty rounds he talks of. Either he will whip me quickly, or I'll do the trick for him.
 "Will I fight for his head or body? We'll, that depends, repeated Bob, with hard, dry laugh. If he goes for my alleged weak point, the head, he will find me playing right merrily for his sensitive stomach. He don't like a punch in that delicate region. Jackson gave him a lively tap there, when they met at San Francisco, and Corbett never ventured near the big black after that"
 Fitzsimmons was almost convulsed with merriment when 1 told him that Corbett asserted that he (Fitz) would not be able to hit him.
 @Wel, if my arms are not paralyzed, ]" he said, confidently, ''I'll hit him all right. 1 have never been up against man couldn't hit, and have met the eleverest in the world. Corbett makes big mistake when he says nobody can hit him. Jackson hit him fair enough, so did Mitchell; and even that poor, broken-down old lion upon whom Cor bett built his reputation, John L. Sul- livan, hit him. When .Corbett boxed with clever Jim Hall, he couldn't do much with him, yet put Hall out in three rounds. It took Corbett twenty seven rounds to whip game Joe Choyn- ski, yet was able to do the trick in six. That will give you an idea of our respective. punching powers.

marble bathrooms, and armed with broadside guns of an improved pattern. A private citizen with yacht like that might free Cuba in spite, perhaps, of suchstorpedo boats as those the Herre- shoffs have recently offered to build for the Spanish government, with length of from 95 to 120 feet, and speed of from IS to 2t knots. The steel plates on a torpedo cruiser are about one-eighth of an inch in thickness, be- ing necessarily of a fixed size, while those of the Giralda, for example, must be from one-half to nine-sixteenths of an inch in thickness. There are, in- deed, no engineering or naval archi- tectural principles involved in building a torpedo boat-which is, in fact, naval toy
 But what immediate prospect is there for radical improvements in fuel, boilers and engines? Will electricity loosen the shaclles with which steel and coal, waste and friction, hamper human ef- forts? Such an entry into the realm of speculation can scarcely be profit able. All the big yachts now adoat use coal to generate their steam. Oil is lighter in weight. and less bulky, but is uncertain in supply and price. If the Pennsylvania Railroad company, for example, used oil as fuel in it's loco motives, it has been estimated that the eDtire product of the state of Pennsyl- vania would be annually absorbed for that purpose alone. The fuel to be used in the Holland submergible tor pedo boat, authorized last year to be built for the American navy, is petro- leum, and her charge is to be sufficient for q run of twelve hundred miles. Re- mote from any source of petroleum SUD- ply, the torpedo boat would, undoubt- edly, like any other petroleum user, be helpless. But so is q eeal-burner out of coal, and this will be the great trouble with yachts and warships alike until the means of drawing electricity from water or developing it from the air shall be devised. An interesting gain in this direction was made when the United States naval department, toward the close of 1894, ordered that electricity instead of steam be hence forth used to turn the turrrets of our war vessels. The use of an electrical plant to light warships has long been familiar. Electric motors are now used in our naval service to move ven- tilating fans, rapid-fre guns, ammuni- tion hoists and the valves of the steer ing engines. The advance of tho propeller ought to be only question of time.
 The yacht of the future may go by electricity, and be heated and lighted
