FOREST AND SXHEAM, 
[March i6, 1901. 
week in September, so that it will not be very late and 
will be in plenty of season before the hauling out time 
comes. 
The matter of courses has not yet been decided upon, 
and this will undoubtedly be left to the committee. It is 
very likely, though, that the races will be sailed over the 
regular Hull-Massachusetts courses oH Boston light. 
These courses are the finest in the country. They are 
in every sense ocean courses, but the land formation is 
such that the entire course can be seen from points of 
vantage on the shore. There are a number of large yachts 
— ^in fact, nearly all of those that are racing at the present 
time— which have not had an opportunity of trying these 
courses, and the Boston yachtsmen are very anxious to 
have their vahte thoroughly proved. 
At Lawley's Illinois, the Chicago syndicate defender 
for the Canada cup, is all completed, and will be launched 
next week. Part of the planking is on the Sloane 8sft. 
schooner. An i8-footer designed by C. H. Crane, of 
Tams, Lemoine & Crane, for Buzzards Bay, is being con- 
structed. The Lawley 2S-fo6ter for Buzzards Bay will be 
laid down this week. The 120ft. steamer for W. P. Eno 
is in frame. The Boreland 85ft. steamer is all planked. 
The plating is being put on the 50ft. steamer Bostonia, 
which has been lengthened out. The Parsons 46-footer 
is planked. The Y. R. A. 21-footer for H. W. Wiggin 
is set up. 
The schooner Constellation is fitting out at Beverly. 
She will go to Bermuda, where Mr. Skinner will join 
her and cruise for a time in Southern waters, returning 
some time in May. John B. Killeen. 
A 20-Foot Cftiisingf Yawl. 
Messrs. S. N. and J. F. Small, the well-known East- 
ern yachtsmen and yacht designers, who have already 
gained a splendid reputation, for turning out successful 
boats, have formed a co-partnership under the name of 
Small Brothers, and have opened an office in Boston. 
Mass. It is the intention of the firm to make a specialty 
of racing yachts and fast cruisers, and the fact that the 
firm already has several orders on hand is ample evi- 
dence that the venture will prove a prosperous one. Wc 
publish this week one of their designs for a cruising 
yawl, the plans showing a very handsome and roomy 
I5bat, and she will undoubtedly be a fast one. She was 
designed for Mr. F. B. Rawson, of Sandusky, O., and 
is being built by the Wyandotte Pleasure Yacht Works. 
She was designed to conform to the scantling restrictions 
of the Yacht Racing Union of the Great Lakes, and was 
intended more for afternoon sailing and cruising on Lake 
Erie than for racing, as her accommodations and head- 
room indicate. 
Her dimensions are as follows :

The Yachtsmen^s Club, 
Mr, John Hyslop, the official measurer of the N. Y. * 
Y. C, lectured before a large number of members of the 
Yachtsmen's Club at 47 West Forty-third street,^ on 
Wednesday evening, March 6, the subject being "The 
Measurement Rule." Mr. Hyslop has been identified with 
yachting for many years and is probably more familiar 
with its history than any other man in this country. In 
consequence of this he has had ample opportunity to see 
the effects of rating rules on yacht design and construc- 
tion, and for this reason Mr. Hyslop was able to put 
his subject before his audience in a particularly compre- 
hensive manner. After going over the effect of the early 
rating rules and formulas both in England and America, 
he led up to the new rule recently adopted by the Seawan- 
haka Corinthian Y. C, and illustrated it by drawings, ex- 
plaining how boats would be measured in actual practice 
under the new rule. The lecture was most interesting, and 
the club members extended a vote of thanks to Mr. 
Hyslop. ,^ ,.,
