BOB 
restrictions to govern any new classes that might be 
deemed necessary for the Association to adopt. The 
Executive Committee will recommend at the coming 
meeting that class D, 25-footers, class E, 22-footers, and 
class I, i8-footers, be retained, and that three new classes 
be adopted, the proposed conditions of which were pub- 
lished in the last number of Forest and Stream. 
It may seem strange, after such radical types were 
produced for the 25ft. class in the past season, that the 
Executive Committee should recommend the retention of 
the class. It is understood that the members of the com- 
mittee were net all of one mind in regard to the matter. 
They were of one mind that the tj'pes of boats that have 
been produced within the past year are undesirable and 
are far from being what was intended to be produced 
under the rules. It was realized, however, that several 
men had invested money in the construction of these 
boats, in good faith, and that it would be unfair to them 
to throw the boats out of all racing at a time when they 
could not be disposed of for racing in other sections of 
the country, and would hardly be marketable for whole- 
some cruisers. So the committee recommends retaining 
the class, believing that nobody will care to invest in 
any more extreme "slabs" for it, and that the class will 
die a natural death. 
There have been several things that cropped up in the 
22ft. class since its formation that were not down on 
the programme when the class Avas formed. There was 
found to be a little mixup between the waterline length 
and the displacement as against the figures laid down in 
the rules. This was fixed up, however, by making the 
rules conform to the boats that had been built, a little ir- 
regular proceeding but one that appeared to suit the 
owners, and the yachts had fairly good racing through- 
out the season. Both this class and the i8ft. knock- 
abouts — which, by the way, are just as popular as ever — 
are governed by associations of their own, and would be 
in on the racing whether accepted by the Association or 
not. 
There are some protests, appealed to the Association in 
the past season's racing, that have yet to be figured in the 
percentages for the season. The following official list, 
issued by Secretary A. T. Bliss, to Sept. 10, will un- 
doubtedly need some changes, but will give some idea of 
the work of the yachts :

Crowninshield has an order for a fast steam freight 
lighter to ply between Brunswick, N. J., and New York 
city. He has also orders for a six-masted schooner and a 
three-masted schooner, owners to be announced later. 
Burgess & Packard have an order for a 21-footer for 
Kenneth Stevenson, of Detroit. She will race under the 
rules of the Country Club. They have also an order 
for an auxiliary 24-footer for Mr. Holmes, of Plymouth, 
and have orders for three i8-footers. 
At a recent meeting of the Twenty-two Foot Cabin 
Yacht Association it was voted to increase the minimum 
freeboard to 23 inches and to reduce the height of the 
cabin two inchess, still preserving the headroom of 4ft. 
Sin. H. H. White, H. H. Walker and W. H. Joyce were 
elected judges, all the other officers being re-elected. 
Hollis Burgess has sold the 31ft. waterline auxiliary 
sloop Hostess, owned by J. Murray Forbes, of Milton, 
Mass., to Robert G. Shaw, of Wellesley, Mass. The 
Hostess is a fine type of the modern auxiliary, and is 
equipped with a 20 horse-power Lozier engine of the 
latest model, capable of driving her at a high rate of 
speed. Mr. Shaw will use her for cruising and day sail- 
ing at Vineyard Haven. 
Small Bros, have orders for a 30ft. yawl for E. S. Bell, 
of North Swansea, a 28ft. auxiliary yawl for H. E. Pratt, 
of Ocean Park, California; a 21ft. auxiliary yawl for J. 
H. McCully, of Grosse Pointe, Mich. ; a 30ft. yawl for F. 
Campbell, of Chicago; a 21ft. yawl and a 15ft. yawl for 
E. J. Kistenmacher, of Davenport, la. ; a 21-footer for , 
E. Bryan, of Wyandotte, Mich. ; a centerboard 18- footer 
for a' W. Finlay, and a keel i8-footer for Boston parties.

Ariadne— Auxiliary Schooner. 
The fine auxiliary schooner Ariadne was designed by 
Mr. Clinton H. Crane,' of. the firm of Tams, Lemoine 
& Crane, and built in 1902 by the Harlan & Hollings- 
worth •■ Company, at Wilmington, Del., for Mr. H. W. 
Putnam. .A.riadne was designed for off-shore cruising, 
and is built of steel throughout. All the material and 
workmanship in the vessel are of the highest quality, 
and she is to-day one of the very best and most com- 
pletely fitted cruising yachts of her size in the world.

A bulwark 2ft. 3in. high gives a sense of security to 
those on deck; all the waterways, hatches, companion- 
ways and skylights are of teak. The deck is of white 
pine 3in. thick. Below decks the accommodations are 
very roomy, beautifully fitted and decorated, and well 
laid out. Every equipment and appliance that would 
add in the slightest to the owner's and his guests' com- 
fort and convenience have been placed in the boat. 
The companionway leads directly to the chart room, 
which is on the port side. The floor is covered with 
interlocking rubber tiling, and should any water find 
its way below when the companion slide is open, it 
does no harm, and can be readily mopped up. The 
chart room is fitted with a berth, back of which are 
large drawers, so that the charts can be put away flat. 
A case for nautical instruments is placed on the after 
partition of the chart room. There is a port hole di- 
rectly over the chart table and this gives ample light. A 
passage extends aft from the chart room to the after 
cabin. On the port side, aft of the chart room, is a 
bath room 5ft. yin. long. Here is a porcelain tub and 
wash basin and a patent doset. A port hole gives 
light and ventilation to this room, and the floor and 
walls are tiled, as are all the bath rooms. 
On the port side, aft of the bath room, is a state 
room, which is the only small one in the after part of 
the vessel. This room is 6ft. 6in. long and is fitted 
with a set berth, tmnsom. bureau and set wash basin. 
Next aft is the ladies' or after cabin, which runs the 
full width of the yacht, and is 9ft. long. On the port 
side is a double berth with a shelf and lockers behind, 
on the starboard side is a sofa berth and behind there 
are also lockers and shelves. At the after end of this 
cabin are wardrobes and clothes presses and a writing 
desk. Aft there is a private bath for the use of those 
occupying this cabin. There are skylights over the 
after cabin and the connecting bath, and these in addi- 
tion to port holes, make the rooms very light and airy. 
Forward of the after cabin, on the starboard side, is 
a stateroom 8ft. long. This is a roomy cabin, fitted 
with a double berth, sofa, wardrobe, bureau and wash 
basin. Between this cabin and the owner's room, which 
is forward on the same side, is another bath 5ft. 6in. 
long. This room is fitted very much like all the rest 
and is accessible from the owner's room and the cabin 
aft of it. 
The owner's room is the largest single stateroom 
on the boat. It is nearly 12ft. long. This room has a 
brass bedstead, sofa berth, large wardrobes and clothes 
presses, a bureau and a desk. Overhead is a skylight, 
and there are two port holes in the side. On the port 
side opposite is another stateroom 8ft. 5in. long. This 
room is arranged and fitted very much the same as are 
the other single cabins. One port hole and a skylight 
give plenty of light and air. 
The main saloon is 13ft. long and extends the full 
width of the boat. This cabin is amidships. On either 
side are two port holes, and there is a very large sky- 
light above. Under the skylight is an extension table. 
On the starboard side is a sofa, which returns on the 
forward bulkhead. On the port side is a short sofa 
with lockers forward and aft of it. In the center of the • 
forward bulkhead is a fire place, and on the port side 
is the sideboard. At the after side of the cabin are the 
piano, music rack and a desk. 
Just forward of the main saloon is the machinery 
space, which is entirely surrounded by double steel 
bulkheads, and the space between is filled with asbes- 
tos. On the starboard side of the engine room are 
coal bunkers and a stateroom for the two engineersv 
This room is reached from the cook's room, which 
opens from the officers' mess room. . . 
on the pert side of the engine room is a passage 
which runs rrom the main saloon forward to the mess
