I lyaR Japanese Rowing.
4 The Japanese row a boat standing
With their faces to the side. The oar
IL always submerged, and is moved
no nd forth a SC11llinR motion
This brings into action every muscle of
the body. In the north of Japan,
among the Anus, may be seen a style
of rowing quaint indeed. The boatman
uses his two oars, not together, but
alternately; or If there be more than
one rover those on the right pull
while those on the left side raise their
oars, and vice versa, so that the boat
goes siding along like a sailing craft
perpetually lacking:
LIoyd's Register of American Yachts.
Marine Journal: The ninth annual
edition of Lloyd's Register of American
Yachts differs from it's immediate pre-
decessors only in the increasing pre-
dominance of power over sail and of
the gas engine over the steam engine;
the proportion of the power craft being
still greater than last year, while indi-
vidual examples show the rapid growth
In size of the gas operated type.
In spite of its lessening numbers and
tonnage, the sailing divisions of the
fleet claims first notice this year
through three important additions to
the schooner class, Enchantress, Elena,
md Katrina. The first designed by
Cary Smith & Ferris and built by the
Lawley & Son Corporation, although
sailing yacht is fitted with a 25-
horsepower engine providing power
scr the electric hoists, capstans, light
ing system, etc. Katrina, designed by
Theodore d. Wells and built by the
Staten Island Shipbuilding Company,
while Elena Is new racing schooner
designed by N. G .Herreshoff and built
at the Bristol shops. In contrast with
the addition of these three vessels to
the list may be noted the passing OF
the once-noted Jubilee, General Paine's
cup defender of 1893; sold at last for
junk after some years of idleness.
The most notable Of the new power
yachts is the Sovereign, designed by
Charles l.. Seabury and built at the
Gas Engine and Power Company and
Charles L. Seabury & Co, Cons, under
q guarantee of Is miles per hour, which
speed she easily exceeded on her initial
trial.
