ANOTHER CRACK YACHT,
The Marietta the Third Boat of That
 Name.

Name.
 Harrison B. Moore, the well known yatchsman, is having a fast steam yacht built, with which ne hopes to steam away from any yacht in these waters next summer. MT. Moore has had a fast yacht for several years, and
 as soon as 1t has been beaten he has sold it and built another. All his yachts have been named Marietta, and they
 have been designed by Henry J. Gle
 low. The first Marietta was built in
 1893, and was 113 feet in length. This
 boat was purchased by w. J. Arkell,
 who renamed it The Judge. MT Ar
 llell sold it to Col, Jacob Ruppert, who
 now calls 1t the Albstross. The second
 Marietta was built in 1895, and is 145
 feet in length This boat was recently
 sold to MT. Carr.
 The new boat, another Marietta, will be built by John M. Robbins & Co.,, at the Erie Basin, where M. c. D. Bor- den's fine steamer, Sovereign, was built | last year. It has generally been the opinion that speed and comfort do not go together. MT. Moore proved the 1 fallacy of this idea with the old Mari etta, and he is going a step further with the new one. The new boat will be an improvement and an enlarge
 ment of the old design, and MT. Glelow
 is confident that it will be very speedy.
 Her principal dimensions will be ;
 Length over all, 172 feet, inches, ];
 length on the water line, TAO feet; beam,
 IS feet. She will be built of steel and
 will be divided into five water-tight
 compartments by means of four steel
 bulkheads. She will have a double bot
 tom amidskips, which will serve for
 fresh water tanks and for ballast tanks
 in a sea-way. Her deck will be flush
 from stem to stern, and her deck fit
 tings are to be of mahogany, while her
 bulwarks are high enough to make the
 deCkhouse alone visible above them.
 This latter is to be of mahogany, and
 24 feet in length arranged for a social
 hall and dining room forward with buff
 fet and a dumb waiter connecting with
 the galley below. In the after end of
 the deckhouse will be the captains stateroom, fitted with chart, rack, desk, etc. The yacht will be steered from a bridge over the deckhouse.
 The crew will be provided with roomy quarters forward, and abaft of there come q ward room and state rooms for officers. The galley will come next, and it's ample proportions show that the owner does not let his | yachting enthusiasm run away with | his consideration for the inner wants of his guests. Abaft the galley will be 1 the machinery, inclosed between steel ! bulkheads
 The after part is to be devoted to 1 the owners use, and will be divided 1 into five large stateroons, two wing 1 berths, and a saloon 15X17 feet There ! will be running water throughout and 1 the bath will be plumbed for hot and 1 cold fresh water as well as hot and l cold sea water The cabinet work will be in polished mahogany and the rest in white enamel and gold. The uphol- | stery and hangings will be luxurious 1 The motive power of this yacht will consist of two water tube boilers and a | four-cyllnder balance triple expansion engine. The engine is almost exolu-
 sively of steel, well braced, and with very large bearings and pins, to in-
 sure running cool under maximum power. The boilers are of ample ca
 pacity to furnish the requisite steam. | The yacht will make handsome ap- | pearance. Her lines are remarkably | graceful and easy, which, together with her high grade machinery, will
 be able to hold her own with any steam yacht in American waters. She will be
 fitted with an electric light plant and storage battery This yacht is likely
 to be H. J. Glelow's last representative
 here, as he has accepted a position
 abroad.
 The yacht will be enrolled in the New York and Atlantic Yacht clubs, and Mr.
 Moore expects to have her ready to go
 in commission by the 1st of June next. 1 New London Day.
