W. 7. Kingsley, representing c. Arthur

| The house boat William Butman, having
on board Charles Stedman Hanks and fami-
ly of Chestnut Hill, Brookline, Mass,
which had been in Camden harbor for sever
al days last week, has sailed for Bar Har-
Dor. From there she will go to New York.
Capt. David Arey of Camden will act as
pilot on the trip.
John R. Spears, the naval historian and
the nautical expert for Golfers Weekly
has been looking at Shamrock II. and writes
of her in the spirit of one anxious to make
peoples flesh creep. ''No such beautiful
deck plan,' he says, twas ever SEEM and
he figures out that Shamrock II. carries L..
600 square feet more sail than the ConStitu-
ton. His conclusion is that SIT is certain
that the cup is this year in very great
danger"
| Our local boat builder, E. L. Macomber,
was certainly very successful in his latest
creation, the sloop Caprice, built for I
! George Dodworth of New York, and she
was greatly admired by visiting yachtsmen
during Old Home Week. Those who have
sailed in her say that she is a wonder; and
she seems to be equally good in light air

ward work, and that is as it should be. I'm.
| fortunately there is nothing here for Mr..
| Dodworth to sail against, but the ease with
| which the Caprice has distanced such craft
as she has fallen in with is cause for con-
graduation on the part of the owner as we'll
as the builder, and ought to ensure other
| orders to Mr. Macomber

| In 1877 James NJ. Waterbury came for
ward with his thirty-nine ton sloop Una,
one of the wonders of her day. 1t has
been said that her model suggested that Of
the Puritan. Maria, which was rated at 100
tons, won in her class in the annual regetta,
while Una was the victor in hers. Maria,
like all the subsequent big sloops, was final
ly altered to schooner rig. These two
yachts, with their owners, were the chief
factors in the advancement of yachting in
America until the now historic days of 1851.
In that year the schooner America was
built and crossed the ocean. She was the
work of George Steers, the builder of the
victorious Una.
The latter yacht, schooner rugged, was
owned for some years by Mr.. E. K. Harris,
who now has summer home on Holbrook's
Island, and who cruised in Maine waters
for several seasons. She was on the ma
rine railway here at one time, and it was
the common remark then that in model she
did not suffer in comparison with the latest
designs. A little more overhang aft would
have made her quite an up-to-date craft, al
though she was built in 1S47. After Mr..
Harris sold the Una it was reported that
her new owner was improving her, but we
have heard nothing of her for long time.
