The several installations of the Sturtevant economizers have proven highly efficient. Not only has it been proved that the gases are re- duced to a remarkably low temperature with a comparatively small amount of heating surface, but the water has also been heated to an exceptionally high temperature. In cases where the feed water contains foreign substances the owners have found these machines to be especially valuable owing to their accessibility and ease of cleaning. ; An illustrated catalogue describing the Sturtevant standard and pony economizers is issued by the B. F. Sturtevant Co., Hyde Park, Mass., and is of interest to all steam users. JEEB'S REMARKABLE RECORD. Mr. Thomas Clapham, Roslyn, Long Island, N. Y. has in the Jeebi a photo, of which is published herewith, designed a most extraordinary 21-footer in the open jib and mainsail class. In 1903 in ten races she won six firsts, two seconds, and JEEBI; WINNER OF TEN RACES STRAIGHT. one third. Remarkable as that record was she has done even better in 1904 for in all of the ten races in which she has competed she has won first prize in each. The Jeebi is 23 ft. 10 in. over all, 17 ft. on the water line, 7 ft. beam, and 8 in. draught. She is owned by Arthur D. R. Brown of Flushing, L. I. As a racing record covering two succeeding seasons her achievements have not been equalled by any other boat. Another remarkable thing is that not an item of Jeebi's rig or equipment has been in any way changed since she was launched with the sole exception of having been fitted with a larger spinnaker. In model the Jeebi is like a sharpie from her deck down to her bilge, which is angular. Below the bilge her bottom is of the Bouncer type, originally designed by Mr. Clapham in 1890, and since then copied and reproduced all over the United States. She was designed and built by Mt; Chapham for Mr. Brown to use as a pleasure boat as well as for racing, and is so easily handled that often she is sailed by a young girl. Last year she won the championship in the 21 ft. open jib and mainsail class on Long Island Sound in the regatta of the Long Island Yachting Racing Association. Following is the list of races sailed by Jeebi since she was launched: Races sailed by Jeebi in 1903. DATE - CLUB FINISH POSITION OF JEEBI June 6 Knickerbocker First.
