THE KAIsgR's NEW YACHT.
How the Meteor Came e Ne Buflt In
This Country.

How the Meteor Came e Ne Buflt In
This Country.
II was In the spring of 1901 that Mr..
]. Frederick Tams, secretary OF the
New York Yacht club. iourneyed Ia
shooters island and called on Mr.. A.
Cary Smith, naval designer. Mr.. Tams
entered upon a general discussion of
matters maritime. as though 1t had
been solely for this purpose that he lad
made the trip from the metropolis. In
the course OF the call, however, the
conversation turned to yachts and their
designing, and then it was that the
real motive for Mr.. Tams' visit de-
clared itself.
well, now, Mr. Smith, said the sec
rotary of Americas representative
yachting association, 81 am very much
interested in the question of yacht
building ct present, as happen to be
commissioned by foreigner of title to
ind out under what conditions you
would design yacht for him"
"indeed!' said Mr.. Smith In a non-
committal manner. well, Mr.. Tams.
before we go any further there is Just
one question l would like to ask you:
is the yacht Of which you are speaking
to be built in the United States or in a
European shipyardr
probably in Europe" was the reply.
"Humphi Well, then, let me say
right now that under those circum-
stances l would not for a moment en-
tertain the proposition of designing the
yacht for-your principal. have not
the slightest desire to make the plans
for boat only to have them altered
and botched by some English or Ger
man builder who thinks be can i'm
prove on them and who then turns out
on the world bis work under my name.
Il tell you there Is not enough money
In the country Of the person you are
speaking OF to buy plans from me un-
der those conditions. And, what is
more, although cannot presume to
speak authoritatively for Mr.. Here
shoff, feel pretty certain that he will
say precisely the same thing to you as
L have said. Good morning, Mr.. Tams."
Mr.. Smiths representation Of the ac-
ton OF the Herreshoffs in the matter
proved correct, and in consequence the
kaiser's yacht, the Meteor. was not only
designed but also built by Mr.. Smith.
Fastening out to Shooters island one
day after the contract had been placed,
the emperor's agent informed Mr..
Smith that be had been Commanded"
to hurry the completion OF the yacht SO
as to have it ready at an advance date.
"Indeed" replied the imperturbable
designer. well, now. Mr.. Tams, just
let me inform you Of one fact-out
here at this shipyard there il only one
kaiser, and happen to be it Further
more, when 1t comes to commanding
In shipbuilding, there are Just two per-
sons who are in It. One Of them Is the
designer and the other Is Providence"
