boats propelled by electricity, gas, fluid or naphtha under 
the same laws that govern steam vessels. It does not 
seem possible that Mr. Grosvenor understands the situa- 
tion, and we do not believe the original act of March 2, 
1896, will be amended. However, it is always; the un- 
expected that happens, and we therefore urge every one 
of our readers to make this a personal matter and to pro- 
test against this offensive and dangerous action. Every 
yacht club and boat- owner in the country should write to 
their Congressmen at Washington immediately and enter 
a formal remonstrance. It is a matter of record that as a 
ge;ieral thing legislation has been unfavorable to yachting 
interests in the past. The sport has now become national 
as well as international, and supports some of the greatest 
industries in the country. Millions of dollars are now 
invested in small power-driven craft alone, and the pas- 
sage of this unnecessary and absurd law might deal ' a 
• death blow to some of the largest establishments in the 
United States. The idea of compelling the owner of a 
launch of small tonnage to carry a pilot and an engineer 
is too ridiculous for serious consideration. 
■ The -steamer Mount Morris, built at Athens, N. Y.; last 
year, will be. the tender for the Belmont-Stillman syndi- 
■ cate boat. - Th« vessel is 137ft; long, 28ft. Sin. beam, and 
8ft. sin. deep. She is of 40Q tons burden, and is of 
sufficient size to contain the living quarters for the crew 
and also the extra spars, sails, etc., which the racer will 
have to move from place to place in the summer. Altera- 
tions will be made in her interior SQQO ^5 i-g turp4

Anna. 
By permission of Mr. B. B. Crowninshield we publish 
this week the plans of the cabin launch Anna. She was 
diesignedior Mr. J. B. Cornwall, of Rochester, N. Y., who 
speaks very highly of the seaworthiness and speed of the 
boat. She was launched in August, 1900, and on her 
maiden trip went to the Thousand Islands and back. She 
crossed Lake Ontario in a very heavy blow, and her ex- 
cellent performances under these trying conditions were 
niost gratifying to both her owner and designer. The 
power for the boat was furnished by an 18 H. P. 3 cylin- 
der engine made by the Rochester Gas Engine Company, 
of Rochester, N. Y., and has given perfect satisfaction in 
every waj'. The .cabin is well arranged, as may be seen 
from the drawings, and every bit of available space has 
been utilized. The cockpit, engine room and cabin are all 
finished in mahogany.

A New Boat for the 25ft. Class. 
T.AST season Rochelle had' everything in the 25% class 
pretty much- her own way, arid the- news that there- is' to 
be an addition to, the class is most welcome,; particularly 
as she is to be a cen.erboard boat. 
The newcomer will be from a design made by' Mr. 
Charles D. Mower, and is f-br a gentleman well khp'wn in 
yachting circles, but whose liame is withheld '.for the 
present. Mr. Mower has had wide experience in design- 
ing and sail.ing centerboard boats, and he is well known 
as the. designer of 'Vitesse. Duchess and Heiress, .all very 
successful boats. These boats are of a type that Mr. 
Mower has done much toward developing,^ arid his ri.ew 
production will contain rnany ideas that he brought out 
originally in 'Vitesse. The new boat is a very shippy 
looking craft, her long overhangs adding much' to her ap- 
pearance, as they are particularly welL balanced. The 
cabin house is low, being only I2in. high, and is 9ft. long, 
giving 4ft. headroom under beams. The cockpit is 8ft.
