A Fast Cmiser. 
Geo. Lawsjey & Sons Corp., of Sou h Boston, have re- 
cently completed the 32-footer, plans of which appear in 
this issue. The boat "eras designed by Mr. B. B. Crownin- 
shidd for Mr. W. C. Allison, of Philadelphia, who will 
use her at Bar H•3,r^)or and vicinity. She is well fitted be- 
low, and althotigb her accommodations are not large, they 
are extremely comfortable. The space usually g'ven to a 
titateroom on boats of this size aod lype has been utilized 
by a large dressing room and lavatory; on the port side 
opposite is a good sized galley. On boats of these dimen- 
sions the polemast rig is preferable to that of the top- 
Bna.'st rig, as it makes less tophamper and simplifies the 
sear generally. The Allison boat with her short bow- 
jijprit and boom that does not project far over the counter 
tgives a compact rig that should be easily handled in all 
Aweathers, as it is well inboard. She is practically an en- 
JJarged and improved Spalpeen, a very successful 30ft.
