Convenience OF apartment life here.
says the New York Sun, has been year
~ increased and there seemed to be
10 detail in which it could be i'm
proved until the enterprising builder
OF an upper west side block thought
of feature which has hitherto been
lacking. even in the most expensive
houses. Only half dozen New York
apartment houses are SO built that it
is possible to entertain in them on any
but modest scale. Large gatherings
are, as rule, out of the question.
Now an architect has planned build
ing which is to be supplied with a
large ball room sufficiently spacious
to accommodate several hundred
guests. and there are also rooms of
smaller size for less elaborate enter
tainments. The builder who set aside
so much space for this purpose be-
lcves that it will be an excellent in
vestment, as the increased rent of the
apartments is expected to pay for the
loss OF practically the space needed
for an entire apartment.

and Is divided into four compartments
instead of having it all in one. The idea
is to give 1t strength by partitioning 1t
off In this wise, and there will be room
only for the skipper and crew. The model
is not of the severe scow type. 1t has a
flat bottom, with gracefully curved sides,
and the bow runs almost to a needle
point. The stern is square and Well sup

the division of the cockpit, which stands

this boat will probably be a very heavy
one. For the tiller Amundson will equip
1T with one which he designed himself
1t Is made of bent wood, very much on
the style of tennis racquet, but larger
in circumference. Amundson's idea is
that it will be considerably easier for the
helmsman to steer his boat when 1t is
heeled over and the crew lying on the
upper deck. From an artistic standpoint,
the Amundson boat is perhaps the hand
soonest Of the big fellows.
Amundson has also completed a boat
for Commodore j. H. Skinner for his
family 1t measures 20 feet over all, 10
feet on the water line and has nine,
foot beam. 1t seems a stanch and
sturdy craft, and will probably see long
service. 1t resembles mucn the Harriet
F.. owned by Sam Shepherd
Harry Drake is also having a boat
built in the same shop. 1t will be a
seventeen-footer and perhaps take long
er to complete than any of the others, as
Amundson has only finished putting on
the planking.

The members Of the club are becoming
very eager to witness the performance
Of these boats, to make comparisons, and
to learn their fine points No one can
blame them, as 1t is more than probable,
and could hardly be doubted, that the
new boats will prove the fastest of any
that ever sailed on White Bear lake
Not only will the interest assume a
local tinge, but there are scaips on Other
waters which must be found dangling at
the belt of the White Bear chief before
the season ends. He must encounter the
best and the heetest that our Canadian
brethren will offer at the Montreal con.
test The trial races for the selection of
local representative will be fought
every inch of the way by the various
candidates.
Hardly less will be the conflict between
the seventeen-footers for a representative
at Lake Geneva. Wis, at the interlake
regatta.
The White Bear sailors feel that the
season of 1900 must bring victory to them
in their outside contests. and the en-
thusiasm which has thus far shown in
dicates that they have more than pass
