The famous schooner yacht Hide
garde, which was built in 1874, for
the prince of Wales, now King Ed.
ward VII, was towed last week up the
Hackensack river in New Jersey to
Little Ferry, where she will be disman-
tied and turned into a trader, prob
ably to carry brick.
The Hildegarde was built by Cam
per & Nicholson at Gosport for the
prince of Wales, who raced the yacht
successfully and made many cruises
on her. 1t was on this boat that the
prince won many of his prizes and en-
joyed many informal gatherings of
friends. She is said to have cost
about $4,000.
In 1887 George J. Gould purchased
the boat for 100000 and had her
brought to this country. He became

Blakeley Hall was the next owner

The interior fittings are very hand

with which she was originally deco

used by the prince has not been
changed since the boat was built
