The imperial yacht Hohenzollern which
Will sail over here, is the most powerful
private yacht in the world with the excep-
tion of the STANDARD, belonging to the Car
OF Russia. Like that vessel, the Hohen-
zouern really Is warship. She is well
armed, and capable of being armed far
more heavily than she is. Her sides are
armor plated and she has a ram. In fact,
IN all essentials she is a cruiser of no mean
strength
Her crew is uniformed, and the discipline
aboard is that of a naval vessel. Her in
terror is as lavish her exterior is grim
and threatening. Being the home of the
kaiser for considerable part of the year,
she naturally is fitted with everything that
car be required by person accustomed to
dwell in marble halls. Her saloons and
cabins are exquisitely furnished. Rare
woods from all parts of the world, most

designed by William with his own hand.

Description of New Yacht.
Cary Smith, in giving a description of the
Yacht, writes: ITO give some idea of her size,
it will be quite possible, with awnings set
and curtains at the side. to give a court
bail on her deck. All her works. such as
deckhouse, skylghts and rail, will be of
selected teakwood and all capstans, winch
es. ETC., of bronze. Situated aft is deck
house of steel. cased with teak. This deck
house serves as the main companion lead
ing below, and in addition will be used in
dirty weather, and will allow a view of
what is taking place on deck. The stairs
from the deckhouse lead to vestibule,
where are found q chartcase, shelves for
chronometer, nautical instruments and a
locker for hanging oilskins. Aft, opening
from the vestibule, is the ladies' cabin. fitted
with two berths, sofas, a writing desk and
large marble washstand and mirror
There is a bath room on the starboard
side. opening directly from the ladies'
cabin. and opening from the passage lead

gentlemen-in- waiting. Each room has a
bureau. marble washstand and sofa The
owners room Is on the starboard side just

some thirteen feet long, and 1t contains a

the usual manner. but also by means of
skylights.
For supplementary ventilation mush-
room ventilators fitted along the side,
made of special pattern according to
sketches furnished by the emperor himself.
Just aft Of the owners state room is a ba tn
room. beyond which is Wallets room. 1t
has been the intention to have the state
rooms few in number, but of large size.

Of the boat. and Is eighteen feet long; there
is transom on each side, piano at the
after end and open fireplace at the for

Woodwork of Mahogany Enamel.
"Throughout the owners quarters the
woodwork will be of mahogany enamel
painted ivory color. touched up with gold,
with but small amount of the trim showing

officers. and forward of the crews galley,
