turned to the custody of the Brooklyn Y. C, and the unchallenged 
club shall forfeit all claims to its possession. If the club having 
custody of the cup shall be dissolved or cease to exist the cup 
shall revert to the Brooklyn Y. C, and in both cases be again 
offered by that club for competition under the terms and con- 
ditions of this instrument. 
ARTICLE XI. 
If deemed desirable, the terms of this instrument may be 
altered or modified by the Brooklyn Y. C, when the cup is in 
its possession, and when in the possession of another club by 
mutual agreement between the Brooklyn Y. C. and the club 
holding the cup. But such alterations or modifications shall not 
be made during the time a challenge is in action, unless all 
challengers consent to the change. 
ARTICLE XIL 
Tlie challenged club, or the committee appointed by it to 
manage the race, shall have the power to reject the entry of 
any yacht in whose design, construction or equipping is shown 
an inclination to evade the terms of Article II, either in sub- 
or spirit. Regatta Committee.

running. The fuel capacity would give her a wide 
cruising radius at this speed. 
Two boats will be carried on davits, a dinghy and a 
gig. It is planned to run the boat with three men — 
a captain, engineer and steward. She is 70ft. over all, 
6oft. waterline, 12ft. breadth and 4 ft. draft. The free- 
board forward is 4ft. iiin. and 3ft. aft. 
A 60-foot Crttising Launch* 
The plans for the 6oft. waterline cruising launch, 
published herewith, were prepared for Mr. John R. 
Buchan, of the New York Y. C, by Mr. Albert B. 
Hunt. The boat is intended solely for cruising, and in 
working out her design nothing has been sacrificed 
that would in any way detract from her comfort or sea- 
going qualities. The ends have been carried out suf- 
ficiently to give her buoyancy forward, and to prevent 
settling aft while running. The freeboard is liberal, 
but in no way excessive, and the weights have been 
kept low. 
The deck houses are low, and there is a 2ft. water- 
way all around. The space between the two houses 
will be usea as a general lounging place, and the boat 
will be handled from that point. An awning will ex- 
tend from the forward end of the first house to the 
after end of the cockpit. This will afford shade for 
those on deck and keep the direct rays of the sun from 
beating on the top of the houses and making the 
quarters below unbearable. 
The cabin arrangement was adapted from a scheme 
which was laid out by Mr. Eugene Lentilhon for a 
smaller boat. The companionway leads to the steerage, 
on the port side of which is the toilet room. This 
room is lighted by a large window and ventilated by 
two port holes. On the starboard side of the steerage 
are two large clothes lockers, while oilers, etc., can 
be placed under the companion stairs. Two port holes 
also open into the steerage. The owner's room oc- 
cupies the forward end of the boat. It is a large well- 
lighted and well-ventilated cabin, with wide berths on 
either side. Forward of the berths on the port side is 
a set wash basin, while opposite is a bureau. Between 
the two is a transom, and behind this is a large clothes 
locker. The gasolene tank is placed forward of the 
clothes locker and is separated from it by a watertight 
steel bulkhead. 
The main cabin is aft of the steerage. It is 8ft. 6in. 
long and runs the full width of the boat. The transoms 
are wide and are available for use as berths if necessary. 
On each side at the after end of the cabin there is a 
sideboard. The after house extends partly over the 
main saloon, giving thereby additional headroom and 
ventilation. 
The galley, motor room and crew's quarters are all 
in one. The floor of the engine room is higher than 
that of the cabin, so a step up is necessary. The galley 
is located on the starboard side of the engine room, and 
all the fittings have been arranged in order to simplify 
and facilitate the steward's work as much as possible. 
The motor is covered with a slate slab, which will be 
used as a table. 
On the port side is a transom, over which are pipe 
berths. Two are called for, but four could be placed 
there without crowding. The crew's toilet room is on 
■•the port side aft. 
At the after end of the house two deck beams are 
_to_ be carried across, in order to add to the boat's 
'stiffness. Under this space will be placed a large fresh- 
water tank. 
The cockpit is 8ft. long in the clear, and it is in- 
tended that chairs should be provided, although there 
is a seat at the after end. 
.-.It is estimated that a so-horseiiower engine would 
-:give. the boat: a speed of ip miles an hour for ordinary 
Boston Letter. 
Boston, Feb. 6. — It has been announced that the 
high-speed automobile boat, which Mr. B. B. Crown- 
inshield has been commissioned to design for a Boston 
automobile enthusiast, whose name is, for the present, 
withheld, is to be equipped with a Winton motor of 
150 horsepower. This motor will have twelve cylinders. 
No estimate of the speed expected has been given out 
yet, but if the boat is not a flyer, somebody will be dis- 
appointed. She will be built by Messrs. Stearns & 
McKay at Marblehead, and it is needless to say 
that her construction will be as light as possible. She 
is limited to 40ft. in length and her beam will probably 
be about 4ft., although the plans have not yet been 
completed. The same designer has orders for a cruising 
yawl for a Boston yachtsman, to be used at Marblehead; 
a large raceabout for Mr. William J. Curtis, of 
Summit, N. J., to be used in Penobscot Bay; a class 
Q boat, for a member of the Atlantic Y. C. ; and a 
.i6ft. knockabout for Mr. A. R. Gooderham, of Toronto. 
Messrs. Small Bros, have designed a 30ft. waterline 
auxiliary yawl for Dr. A. Hamilton Smith, of Rochester, 
N. Y. This yacht will probably be built in the east. 
They also have orders for a 37ft. speed launch for Mr. 
Hutchinson, of Pouglastown, Can.; a 28ft. launch for 
Mr. E. J. Bryan, of Wyandotte, Mich.; a 33ft. launch 
for Mr. Hunter Wickler, of McHenry, 111., and a 32ft. 
launch for Mr. Richard Hutchison, of Boston. 
The motorboat race committee of the Eastern Y. C. 
has issued rules for a restricted motorboat class. The 
object of these restrictions is to encourage a racing 
class of launches which shall combine speed, safety, 
comfort and durability, in which racing will he close 
enough to make good sport. 
No boat shall be allowed to compete in this class 
without a certificate of inspection from the measurer, 
and no boat containing any features of design or con- 
struction which the measurer may deem unsafe shall 
be given a certificate. 
The length shall not exceed 32ft. over all, including 
the propeller, but not including the rudder stock. 
The maximum load waterline beam should be not 
less that 4ft. 2in., measured with the equipment and 
300 pounds dead weight on board, placed substantially 
amidships, and fuel tanks empty. 
The horsepower shall be measured by the area of 
cylinders alone. The total cylinder area of four-cycle 
engines shall be 82.52 sq. in. (this would be four 
cylinders S/^in. diameter); or a total cylinder area of 
61.89 sq. in. for two-cycle engines. The above areas 
may be exceeded by not more than 2 per cent. 
The boat shall be equipped with reversing gear or 
reversible propeller satisfactory to the measurer. 
Each boat shall be equipped when racing with the 
following articles: One anchor weighing not less than 
25 pounds; cable not less than ij^in. in circumference, 
nor less than 30 fathoms in length; bilge pump; one 
pair of oars at least 8ft. long and rowlocks; one ser- 
viceable life preserver for each person on board; side- 
lights and headlight, as required by law; one foghorn; 
one spirit compass. 
There shall be at least 15 cu. ft. of air space con- 
tamed in watertight compartment or compartments, ex- 
clusive of gasolene tank. 
Total weight, exclusive of above equipment, 300 
pounds dead weight and fuel tanks empty, shall be not 
less than- 1,800 pounds. Nothing shall be removed 
when racing which has been included iti the boat as 
weighed. , .. . ... 
Boats must be measured at least once during the 
calendar year and remeasured as often as may be 
deemed necessary, owing to changes or alterations to 
hull or motor. 
The motorboat race committee of the Eastern Y. C. 
consists of Henry Howard, chairman: S, W. Sleeper' 
W. B. Stearns, A. Appleton Packard and William 
Wallace, . , ; .Jojjk B, Killeen.
