Yachts and yachting : with over one hundred and ten illustrations . by turns, deck hand, cook, fireman,engineer, and captain. He ran the engines,of all his own yachts until they were solarge that he required more crew than heand his friends could supply; but up to thepresent time he has always been his owncaptain and pilot, having been licensed for the past ten years. The next contributor to the steam-yachtfleet was Mr. Jacob Lorillard, who com-menced building in the year 1868. Thisgentleman has done more to create andfoster the fashion for steam yachting than,any other person. His plan was to build anew yacht every year, and after using the season, and getting it into first-rate running order, to sell it, and thus makeroom for a new vessel the succeeding yachts were thus transferred to othercities, and in this way they contributed tospread the fashion for this pastime. It now become a great nationalamusement, and is constantly growing inall our sea-board cities. I insert here a letter from Mr. Lorillard,^. p,^,e^S ELECTRA, OWNED BY ELBRIDGE T.
