S. B. Hollis new Yacht Catherine has beer
taken across to the water side of the rail

ed. She has been within 40 feet of higl

The Decrows have had their new Yacht
ont on trial spins and the comments on he1
performances are varied OF course every
body knows, or ought to know, that a new
boat requires much tuning up before she car
do her best. The amount and disposition o.
ballast, the manner of trimming sails, etc
Then the new boat is the first of the modern
racing type to be built here, and cannot b,
judged by the old-fashioned craft. The Her
reshoffs are largely responsible for THU
model, designed to beat the measurement
rule in the case of the Glorianna. Thi
yacht was cut away on the water-line, bu
was full above and when she listed she wa.
practically ten or fifteen feet longer thai
her water-line measurement Hence this
style of boat only gets to her bearings whel
laying we'll over. AS they are not designed
for cruisers, but are merely racing machines
comfort is sacrificed for speed. The Jen
nette was out in company with the new
boat and afforded an excellent comparison
of the old and new style of yacht. TIL,
Decrow boat was under lower sails onl,
while the Jennette carried gafftopsail, ant
when it blew the hardest she hardly listet
at all while the new soop was almost OF
! her beam ends. The latter has since had ad
ditional ballast put in and stands up mucl
better, but will probably need more. She i.
very quick in stays, steers beautifully and
runs like witch. There is no doubt she is
very fast boat, but how fast will not b,
known until she is in perfect trim and tries
conclusions with another boat of her class
| =. is understood that the new yacht has beef

| He could hardly keep anything on hi
stomach. What stayed, wasn't properly di
gested and gave him terrible pangs.
| This is not an uncommon case. Dyspep

are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't di
gest enough. Much of what they eat turn
into poison. If this keeps on there's n
telling aohot disease they may get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker Di
