Work on all three of the Seawanhaka boats is pro- 
gressing smoothly. All are in the planking stage, the. 
Crowninshield boat being nearest completion. They will 
be in the water early, and it is likely that there will 
be several impromptu scraps before they go to Bridgeport. 
Burgess has an order for a boat to compete in the 
Quincy cup races, but he will not state what side she is 
for, As was expected, another syndicate has been heard 
from for the defense of the cup, but there has been some 
talk to the effect that the Manchester Y. C. would not 
allow the boat owned by this syndicate to defend the cup. 
It is expected, however, that this matter will be arranged 
satisfactorily this week. 
Work is being rushed on all of the boats now under 
construction at Lawley's, and launchings will soon be in 
order. Many of thelarge steam yachts are fitting out in 
the basin, under their winter covers. Designer Gardner 
was at the west shop last week looking over the new 
bronze^ 60-rater Weetamoe. He stated that it was the 
finest job of bronze plating that has ever been done in 
this country, and the appearance of the boat certainly 
justifies the remark. Mr. H. F. Lippitt also visited the 
yard recently, and was much pleased with the boat. 
Crowninshield reports the following sales : 18ft. knock- 
about Suzanne, owned by Quincy Bent, to Norman Gree- 
ley; 25-footer Chewink, owned by F. G. Macomber, Jr., 
to W. E. Scull; 25-footer Flirt, owned by Fabyan and 
McKee, to Mr. Bond, of Philadelphia; 21ft. knockabout 
Theresa, owned by E. L.- Davis, to Mrs. Powell, of New- 
port; steam yacht Cayuga to T. Slocum; raceabout Pom- 
pelia, owned by R. C. Robbins, to J. Rogers Maxwell, of 
New York; new raceabout of Crowninshield's design built 
by Rice Bros., to R. C. Robbins; raceabout Tunipoo, 
owned by J. L. Bremer, to Chas. Cooley, of the Hull- 
Massachusetts Y. C. ; knockabout Opeche, owned by E. 
S. Grew, to F, G. Peabody. John B. Killeen. 
Msteor Leaves for Southampton* 
The German Emperor's schooner, Meteor, left her 
anchorage off Tompkinsville, S. I., just after 1 o'clock 
on Tuesday, April 1, bound for Southampton, England. 
She will be accompanied by the Hamburg-American 
steamer Scotia. 
It was found after the vessel had ,been surveyed that 
her seaworthy qualities had not been impaired by her 
accident at the builder's yard on the day of her trial 
trip, so it was decided to sail at once and have the dam- 
age repaired on the other side while her interior fittings 
were being put in place in order to save time. 
The picture of the schooner that appears in this issue 
was taken on the day of her trial trip.
