PLANTS NEW STEAM YACHT.
Iolnndn VIII be One of the Largest
 Craft Anoat.

Tho Iolanda, the new steam yacht built on the Clyde for ex-Commodore Morton r. Plant, will be one of the largest yachts afloat. She Is longer than the Lysistrata, owned by James Cor don Bennett, and will be fitted much more luxurlously than that vessel. A partial description of the vessel Is:
 The principal dimensions of tho To- landa are: Length over all, 3Oo feet; beam. 37 feet nchcs depth. 23 feet. She Is about 1000 tons yacht measure ment and was designed by Cox x King of London under whose supervision the yachts belonging to most of the crown ed heads of Europe have been built. Her twin screw machinery Is of the triple expansion four crank type. or 5000 to i,000 horsepower. Ono of the notable features Is that her boilers arc partly cylindrical marine return tubu- lar and partly water tube. This com binaton, the first installed in any yacht, affords the special advantage of being able to raise steam and get under way at practically moments notice or provides additional speed at short mo- tico when required, while the bunker capacity of some $50 tons gives the yacht very extensive ocean stcaming radius.
 Needless to say everything possible is provided to render the new yacht thoroughly up to date, Including motor and steam launches, quick firing guns and an elaborate system of electric lighting, which Is the largest ever in- stalled in private yacht. Her design CTS have made arrangements for man lpulating the Marconi installation of wireless tclcgraphy, and submarine signalling system Is also installed.
 The heating system throughout tho yacht Is by steam, The refrigerating plant, with cold chambers. etc, has been very carefully considered and has very large storage capacity, Including fish stores, dairy, etc. A spacious laun- dry Is being fitted up on the orlop deck. the laundry machinery being worked by electric motors. A comprehensive sys- tenn of ventilation is being installed, some thirty motor drives centrifugal fans being employed.
 "The accommodation for owner and guests comprises drawing and dining rooms, library, smoking room and oth- CT saloons, with owners statcrooms and many guests rooms and bath rooms. superbly fitted throughout, the general idea of style being Queen Anne and early Georgian. The officers servants and crews quarters are also very spacious and arranged to accom- modate about eighty persons"

CHANGES ON GOLF LINKS.
New Haven Club Course Alrcady
 Shortened Two Holes.

Several changes in the lay out of thd New Haven Golf club course have been made the past week and while 1t haa shortened the distance of two holes it Is readily admitted that the improved ments are great advantage 10 thosd who are not expert in every shot. 1,
 The second hole was shortened so aa to reach the green on the drive. Aa there is a hazard here a topped ball is penalizcd. where previously in thd old lay out it took a 175 yard drive td clear 1t. i
 Another important change is tho placing of the tee forward on the sevt enth hole.
 As this part of the course is narrow and with trees on one side and tho street on tho other 1t now gives one a greater scope to stay on the course even if the ball Is somewhat sliced or pulled.
 With these improvements the losing of ball is greatly reduced and makes the game more interesting to both tho novice and expert.

Dunn the first basemen, acting as field cap tain. The visitors certainly showed little knowledge of baseball, in their opening game. Team work was ab- sent throughout while errors and in- dividual playing predomInated. In the fifth inning Dunn, who played first base, made a beautiful catch of a foul fly.
 By winning this game the local High school showed its superiority over the New Britain school in base ball, This especially was much cov- eted victory as the local basketball team tied the New Britain quintet, who were the interscholastlc cham | pions of the state. In football both also claimed the championship. The playing of the local nine was worthy of much praise. Their good work at the bat and on the field put the vis- tors in the shade, This fact had much to do with their victory. Although there was a small attend ance, the local boys were in the field to play baseball and play they did They started things hummlng immed- lately, and in the first inning they se- cured seven runs. each member of the team having a chance at the bat Be- sides this they were only able to get but two runs during the remainder of the game.
