FOREST AND STREAM, 
XApRtt i6, 1904. 
With these improved anchorage faciilties there is little 
doubt that there will be an increase in the fleet lay- 
ing there. With sufificient depth of water this makes 
an ideal anchorage, being handy to the yacht clubs 
and also being free from the inconvenience of sooty 
rigging and sails which has to be put up with by 
yachts that now have to anchor in the deeper water 
nearer the city; while the handiness of the anchorage 
to the city makes it of great advantage to yachtsmen 
who steam back and forth to their summer homes every 
day. 
At a meeting of several owners of catboats, enrolled 
in the Quincy Y. C, last Tuesday, it was decided to 
hold a long-distance race for these boats on June 25, 
the same day that the 22-footers and other classes are 
to race from Marblehead to the Isles of Shoals, under 
the auspices of the Boston Y. C. It is proposed to 
race the cats from Quincy to a stake boat off Thatcher's 
Island and return. 
At a meeting of representatives of the Quincy, Wol- 
laston and Squantum Y. C's it was decided to hold a 
series of interclub races, as follows: June 17, at Woll- 
aston; July 2, at Squantum, and July 16, at Quincy. 
Mr. Lawrence F. Percival's new speed launch, built 
by Messrs. Stearns & McKay, at the Marblehead yacht 
yard, was given a trial at Marblehead on Saturday.. 
April '2, during which she failed to show the speed 
that was expected of her. She was hauled out Monday, 
when it was found that several fathoms of lobster buoy 
rope, together with the buoy itself, had become en- 
tangled in the propeller and around the strut. It bent 
the blades of the propeller backward, tearing off the 
strut. She was given another trial last Thursday, with an 
experimental propeller. She developed good speed 
at times, although, owing to the newness of the en- 
gine, it was run at less than half power, and a defective 
commutator prevented more than two cylinders doing- 
effective work. The results were encouraging, how- 
ever, and it is hoped that with the final propeller, which 
will be tried in about a week, the boat will show as 
much speed as can be combined with seaworthy quali- 
ties in a launch of^ her size. 
Rear Commodore Walter Burgess' new 21-footer, 
Clarita, the only boat to be built during the winter 
for the newly adopted Y. R. A. of Mass. 21-foot class, 
was launched at the Marblehead yacht yard last week 
and was given a trial last Wednesday. In a light east- 
erly breeze she moved vei-y fast, and, as it freshened, 
she carried her sail very comfortably. 
On Tuesday, April 19, the fleet of new and old 18- 
footers at Duxbury will be given a tryout in an in- 
formal race. Three new boats were built during the 
winter at Kingston, and there are several older boats 
laid up that are very fast. It is expected that the race 
will be an interesting one. John B. Killeen. 
Miir o-a II. 
The keenest racing that was seen last season be- 
tween boats of moderate size was found in the 43- 
foot class. The two new boats Mimosa II and the 
Gardner production Aspirant met in a number of con- 
tests, and the racing could hardly have been better. 
Aspirant, owned and sailed by Messrs. Addison G. 
and Wilmer H. Hanan, carried off the honors, but 
the racing was close, and Mimosa II pushed her hard 
for first place. 
Mimosa II did not suffer from lack of handling, but 
her defeat may be attributed to a number of things. 
Aspirant was skinned out below and she did not have 
any interior fittings, while Mimosa II was loaded down 
with partitions and other equipment, weighing con- 
siderably over a ton, which did her harm. Had these 
been removed and the equivalent weight been put on 
the keel it would have vastly improved her. 
The two boats will no doubt meet again this year, 
and as Mimosa II will be seen in an improved condi- 
tion the racing ought, to be more interesting than ever. 
Mimosa was designed by Mr. B. B. Crowninshield 
and built by the George Lawley & Son Corp., South 
Boston, Mass., for Mr. Trenor L. Park, of New York 
city. Below she is quite roomy, and from the cabin 
plans it will be seen that she has all the comforts of 
a cruising boat.

Capt. Arthur H. Clark's Yachting History to be 
Published.; — A history of yachting covering the period 
from 1620 to 1815 has been written by Capt. Arthur H. 
Clark, one of the oldest members of the New York Y. C. 
Capt. Clark has spent many years in securing data on this 
subject, and he is probably more familiar with the early 
yachting in England and Holland than any other man 
alive. From time to time Capt. Clark has picked up old 
and valuable prints illustrating the earlier types of yachts. 
The book will contain 112 full page pictures reproduced 
from those old prints. Capt. Clark's work is to be pub- 
lished under the direction of the New York Y. C, by 
Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons.
