them and bar out the public. It was decided by the 
courts that the clubs could do what they pleased in 
the matter of building fences around the properties. 
The wharf now used by the Eastern Y. C. was pur- 
chased by Mr. Frank B. McQuesten, and it was gen- 
erally understood at the time that it would eventually 
.be owned by the Eastern Y. C. As a landing place it 
has proven of great value to members of the club. 
At Lawley's the 102ft. waterline steam yacht, designed 
by Mr. Arthur Binney for Mr. Chauncey B. Borland, 
is nearly ready to take the water. This yacht is similar 
to the Monaloa, also designed by Mr. Binney for Mr. 
Borland, with the exception that she is longer. The 
steel steam yacht, designed by Mr. Fred D. Lawley, for 
Mr. Paul Rainey, is receiving the finishing touches, and 
the 99ft. steam yacht, designed by Swazey, Raymond & 
Page, is practically ready for the water. Mr. S. C. 
Winsor's 22-footer, Warrior, designed by Fred D. 
Lawley, is well along. This boat is very ilat and has 
as much of the scow principle as the restrictions 
governing the class would allow Mr. Lawley to go. 
The 15-footer for Mr. H. H. Wiggin is about com- 
pleted. 
Another fast auto boat has been heard from. The 
order for this boat has been given to Messrs. Burgess 
& Packard, by Mr. H. L. Bowden, the well-known 
automobilist. She will be fitted with a French motor 
of 50 horse-power, and is expected to be about the 
fastest thing of her kind in Massachusetts waters. The 
designers do not wish to announce any further par- 
ticulars concerning her dimensions, etc., just at present. 
'I'he same designers have orders for a 26ft. auxiliary 
cruising yawl for Mr. A. Lawrence. Lowell, a keel 15- 
footer for Dr. Morton Prince, and a keel i8-footer for 
Hon. W. Caleb Loring. 
Small Bros, have an order for a 21-footer to race for 
the Lipton cup at Chicago. This boat will be built 
at Lawley's, and will be planked with mahogany. The 
owner's name will not be announced for some time. 
They also have an order for a Y. R. A. 15-footer for 
Mr. H. Lunberg, of the Dorchester Y. C, and a 20ft. 
cat for Mr. C. H. Kelley, of Winthrop. The 21ft. 
ketch of their design for Mr. R. R. McCormick, of 
Cocoanut Grove, Fla., is being built by Mr. Hugh 
Bishop, of Gloucester, and the mahogany launch for 
Mr. H. W. Hornthal, of Norfolk, Va., is being built 
by Messrs. Sterns & McKay, at the Marblehead Yacht 
Yard. 
At the South Boston Y. C, Thursday, there will be 
a testimonial hop, tendered to Messrs. P. J. McMahon 
and William X. McKee for their excellent work on the 
last anniversary ball committee. The second general 
meeting of the club for the year will be held on Wednes- 
day evening. 
The New Bedford Y. C. has elected Frank H. Murk- 
land, Measurer, and W. H. Hand, Jr., J. G. Baker, W. 
S. Bourne, W. E. Smith and F. W. Reynolds, Regatta 
Committee. The club will cruise to Onset Bay on 
June 25, and to Newport July 2, 3, and 4. There will 
be a cruise to Marion in August, and a cruise September 
3, 4, and 5- 
Mr. E. A. Boardman has an order for an i8-footer, 
for a yachtsman who wishes his name withheld for the 
present. He has also sold an i8-footer for the same 
yachtsman. 
The houses at the City Point and Marblehead stations 
of the Boston Y. C. were opened for the season, April 
I. Floats have been put in position at both stations 
for the early yachtsmen. John B. Killeen.
