FOREST AND 
Design for a Cwp Dcfcndef. 
Knowing that any information in connection with large 
90ft. cutters is of particular interest at the present time tq 
all those interested in yachting, we publish this week a 
design of a Cup defender. This design has much to 
recommend it, considering that it is the work of an 
amateur, Mr. John A. Connolly, Jr., of Brooklyn, N. Y.^ 
The design is sort of a combination of Constitut'i®n 
and Independence. In comparing it with Constitution it 
resembles her in the overhangs, placing of the fin and 
gracefulness of the fore and aft lines, also in placing the 
midship section nearly in the center of the boat and 
having its greatest overhang aft. The resemblance to 
Independence is in the over all length and the shallow 
body shown in the midship section with its hard bilges. 
The principal dimensions are as follows : 
Length — 
Over all 140ft. 5in. 
L.W.L. 88ft. Sin. 
Overhang — 
Forward 24ft. 3in. 
Aft 27ft. 6in. 
Beam— ' 
Extreme 24ft. lin. 
i.W.L 23ft. 2in. 
Draft — Extreme 20ft. 
Freeboard — 
Bow 6ft. 6in. 
TafTrail 5ft. 3in. 
Least 4ft. 6in. 
Displacement 131 tons. 
Mr. Connolly has recently completed a design of a boat 
for a well-known yachtsman, which will be built during 
the winter, and will be seen in the racing next season. She 
is 65ft. 3in. over all, 43ft. loin. on the waterline, 15ft. 8in. 
beam and 5ft. loin. draft. _ jt

Saturday, July 6. 
The regatta held by the Beverly Y. C. on Saturday, 
July 6, was only little better than a drifting match. The 
breeze at the start was fresh from the E., but before the 
boats had gone half way over the course it died out to a 
flat calm. Four of the eighteen starters were unable to 
finish within the time limit. 
In the 25ft. class only three boats started, Thorana, 
Kalama and Isis, and the former won her maiden race. 
Radiant was the first to finish in the 21ft. class, with 
Gadfly second and Quakeress third. Edith, Kestrel and 
Amanita withdrew. 
Eunice, the second boat of the entire fleet to finish, won 
with ease over Howard and Hod. 
In the isft. class Next secured a victory. 
Owing to an error by the judges in making out the 
summary of the regatta, July 4, Flickamarro was awarded 
the honors in her class, when they should have been given 
to Spider. The judge to-day was F. E. Cabot. The sum-
