The following meterological observations are furnished:by the office of the United States Wee ther Bureau, Buffalo, for the week ending September 4th: ‘Prevailing wind direc- tions for the week, N.

Thisjiwith:the prabable acceptance of the steamer Hennepin as a constructive total loss also, will relieve the estate of the late William E. Fitzgerald from the embarrassment of suits to recover, ins suran¢e money on.the steamers. Sealed proposals efor’ the chase of the boats will no doubt soon be invited by the underwriters. . ie ge) An American author, who‘Has-interested himself a good deal in the history of Drake and’his times, wrote to our Ad- miralty to suggest that a certain new battleship should bear the name of the distinguished admiral in question. In due time he received an ackHoW?edgttient of his'letter, with an intimation that their lordskips regretted not being able to comply with the suggestion;.and. that it would be contrary to precedent to namea first-class battleship after. a bird.— Liverpool Journal of Commerce; : lt is reported that at least seven revenue cutters vil ach as patrol. boats to keep a clear course during the inter- national yacht races off Sandy Hook. Capt. Walker will command the fl et. Speaking of the present day challengérs avid ‘déféiders, Capt.’ Shoemaker, Chief of the Revenue Cutter Service, says: «Phe: yyachts’ ‘now are absolutely good for nothing but racing. They are just platforms made to carry sail. They are of no use for pleasure, no use for worn Fahey and has been named,the Mackinac. sea voyages, no use for anything except racing. When the American yachtsmen first won the cup, they did it arb boats of some account.” NEE Next season the Milwaukee district, te which the Lake. Superior district belongs will have a new cutter, much ,lafgey Bnd finer than the Morrill. “fhe new craft is being built at Richmond, Vt., by the Trigg Ship Building Co., : “The boat will be 288 tons, 190 feet in length, with a beam of 26 feet, modern in every detail,.speedy, and will resemble the naval dispatch boats. One innovation will be the flush deck, a style seldom seen on lake vessels. No houses, except the fore- stle and the pilot house, will appear above the deck line. epee ‘and petty officers will have sumptuous quarters, much better than are now provided on any of the cutters. Some strange individual ‘notions pervade the ‘‘hutly burly’’ of lake crews. . In many instances, prominent, well known men are supposed to control anything and everything affecting the lakes. A captain in the employ of Mitchell & Co. was passing up the Detroit river recently, when a scow in charge of a French-Canadian slowly reaching across, hailed him and ordered him to slow down and stop. Seeing ‘that the scow would drop several lengthsiu his wake he: of course went on, amid a volley of the choicest ‘‘pidgin’’ English that eyer emitted, winding up the dire threat that Harvey D. Goulder, Esq., would be duly notified of. such | _ conduct, and then ‘‘ze dam neck be wring of off vous ‘zee,’”? needless to say that Mr, Goulder is an admiralty lawyer and counsel of the Lake Carriers’ Association. Another instance where public reputation carri da degree of authority occurred this week, when Capt. Geo. P. McKay, treasurer of the Lake Carriers’ Association, was requested to kindly discon- tinue sending the MARINE RECORD on the date subscription expires and that he venta ‘‘please be so kind as to see ‘to it.?? ek 4 drical, or Scotch, boilers, Bol LER TESTS. The British Admiralty issued a highly technical record of the boiler-testiag race between the cruiser Hyacinth, ‘fitted with water tube. boilers, and the cruiser Minerva, having: ¢ Rear Admiral: Sir’ William: om- ville, chairman of the boiler: committee, “rdfrains from ex- pressing any opinion,’’ but points out that the Hyacinth’s coal consumption’ was 550 tons aud that the Minerva’s was 451 tons. The maximum horse-power. developed during,a certain two hours’ run was 8 ,7oo for the’ Minerva, and ‘10, 0do for the Hyacinth, without the latter perceptibly: gaining on the Minerva. The radius of action, so far as coal was con- cerned, at 7,000 ‘horse- “power, was for the 2 Hyacial Bee. and for the Minerva 3,000 miles, ~ Pgs ret NOTICE TO MARINERS. =; LicHt-Housz ESTaBLISHMENT, 5 OFFICE OF THE LIGHT-HovusE INSPECTOR, I1TH DISTRICT, DETROIT, MICH., Sept. 3, Ig901.
