30 horse-power. This will make her the largest British 
auxiliary motor yacht afloat, but she will not hold that 
record long. 
Mr. W. G. Jameson's new auxiliary schooner has been 
commenced at Fairlie, and will be finished about the 
middle of the season. Mr. Jameson is one of the Y. R. A. 
vice-presidents, and the other, Mr. Augustus Manning, 
has also had a motor fitted in his yacht. The two new 
52-footers, one by Payne and the other by Fife, are well 
advanced, and will be ready for the first regattas. The 
Fife boat is said to be similar to Magdalen, but that there 
are small but important alterations. I believe she will 
be of lighter scantling, of a new departure. The Payne 
boat for Mr. Andrew Coats is different from Gauntlet. 
She has a triangular underwater profile and may be 
expected to be decidedly better. Mr. Payne is a designer 
to reckon with. If he gets beaten, he generally manages 
to come up again with a faster boat, so that the twenties, 
though a small class, ought to be a very good one. 
The King is about to make a cruise round the coast in 
the new royal yacht. She is now in satisfactory trim, but 
her appearance is sadly impaired, owing to the shortening 
of her masts. These were originally designed to be rather 
stumpy, but one of the many cooks who succeeded in 
spoiling the broth suggested that she would look better 
with long spars. However, they had to be cut down 
again. After the Coronation review, she is to have her 
masts altered again. With short masts she is merely a 
rather ugly steamer, with long ones she is quite a fine- 
looking vessel. 
Messrs. Ramage & Ferguson have just launched a new 
steam yacht of 317 tons for Mr. G. A. Clark Hutchison, 
Edinburgh. She is 145ft. b.p.; beam, 22ft, and depth, 
13ft. She is called Ariana. The same firm is building 
(for Mr. A. L. Barber, of New York Y. C.) a 1,400- 
ton steamer to be driven by turbine engines. She will be 
ready in July. E. H. Hamilton. 
Harbor Y. C. will have a class for the Seawanhaka trial 
boats in their regatta to be held on May 30. In all prob- 
ability the other clubs will follow suit, and good racing 
will be had before the trial races at Bridgeport. 
Seawanhaka Cup Notes. 
The ninth boat for the trial races for the Seawanhaka 
cup has materialized. She is now under construction at 
Read's yard, White Bear Lake, Minn. The boat will be 
owned by Mr. L. P. Ordway, and will be sailed in the 
trial races by Mr. C. M. Griggs. The following gentle- 
men have been suggested as excellent men to serve as 
judges of the trial races: Messrs. Newbury D. Lawton. 
Frank Bowne Jones, Charles JU Tower, of New York, and 
Louis M. Clark, of Boston. 
The Mower-Hunt boat will be launched" on Saturday, 
April 19, and will be towed to New Rochelle, where she 
will be rigged and raced against the boat turned out by 
Larry Huntington for Messrs. Seeley and Marshall. 
The boat building from Crowninshield's design for 
the Bridgeport syndicate will be known as Massasoit, and 
the Jones & La Borde boat building for the same syndi- 
cate will be named Tecumseh. 
As we go to press word is received that Mr. Frank 
Crowninshield has ordered a boat to compete in the trial 
races. She will be designed by Mr. W. Starling Burgess, 
of Boston. There will be two boats from Mr. Burgess' 
board in the trial races, the other being for his brother. 
Mr. Frank Crowninshield's boat makes the tenth already 
ordered. Work will be begun on her at once, and every 
effort will be made to complete her as soon as possible. 
The name of the builder is not given out. The Indian
