laid for a 35ft. open launch for a Boston yachtsman, to 
be used on Lake Winnipesaukee. She will have a 34 
horsepower Sterling motor, which is expected to give her 
about 18 miles an hour. 
At the Murray & Tregurtha shops the 35ft. huntnig 
cabin launch, for Mr. John J. Tobin was launched last 
Thursday, and her trial proved satisfactorj'. Mr. T. H. 
Webb's 27-fooler will be launched about the middle of 
the month and after a trial here she will be shipped to 
Chicago. Two 42ft. launches for Buzzard's Bay are 
nearly planked. They will have four-cylinder engines 
of 25 horsepower. 
Mr. John B. Schoeffel's 90ft. cruiser is nearly completed 
at the Sheldon yards, Neponset. Mr. A. S. Bigelow's 
65ft. cruiser, building at the same yards, is about ready 
for her engine, which will be of 75 horsepower. A 30ft. 
speed launch for Mr. Eben D. Jordan is almost all 
■planked. ^ ;#! 
Commodore George W. Gardner, of Cleveland, O., has 
ordered a 25ft. power dory from the E. Gerry Emmons 
Co. She is to be used on Lake Erie. Mr. Gardner has 
been commodore of the Cleveland Y. C. for twenty con- 
secutive years, and he has recently been elected to that 
office for Hfe. The Emmons company is to build eleven 
sailing dories for the Shelter Island Y. C. These boats 
will be i8ft. over all. 
The Toppan Boat Co. is building a power dory for Mr. 
Llewellyn R. Reakirt, of Cincinnati, O., to be used in 
Wisconsin. This boat will be one of the most elaborate 
of the type ever built. She will be finished in mahogany 
with inside panelings and will have very costly fittings. 
Her planking will be of the carvel type. 
Messrs. Burgess & Packard have finished the 40ft. 
autoboat for Mr. William Wallace and she is now ready 
for her engine. It is as yet undecided what make will 
be installed, several being under consideration. They 
are busy getting the new yard at Marblehead ready. 
Canada's Cup Boat Ready. — The Canada's Cup de- 
fender, which was built at Lawley from designs of Mr. 
C. F. Herreshoff for a Rochester syndicate, headed by 
Mr. Frank T. Christie, was hauled out of the shop last 
Thursday and made ready for shipment by rail. She 
has been set up at an angle, so that she may pass through 
the tunnels in safety. She will be shipped via the Boston 
& Albany and New York Central railroads. She will be 
tried out at Charlotte against the other two candidates 
for the defense of the cup. 
■ Seawanhaka Cup Boats. — Both of the Seawanhaka 
cup challengers designed by Mr. E. A. Boardman have 
been planked at _ Fenton's yard, Manchester. The boat 
for Mr. A. H. Higginson has been decked in. The work 
of laying the deck on the boat for Mr. J. L. Bremer will 
probably be started this week. Mi-. Higginson's boat 
will be sailed by Mr. Reginald Boardman and Mr. 
Bremer's boat will be sailed by Mr. E. A. Boardman.

Edgewood Racing Schedule. — The schedule of the 
Edgewood Y. C. has been decided upon by the Regatta 
Committee, and according to the layout, with the fixtures 
of the other clubs, the 30ft. cat class will have about 
thirty races in which to participate tliis season. Mr. 
Henry Ford, of Detroit, Mich., has offered a handsome 
silver cup to be contested for by the 30-footers in a series 
of three races. There will also be the Possner cup series 
in addition to, the regular regatta and the events of other 
clubs. The Edgewood schedule is as follows : 
Ladies' Day and club regatta, Saturday, June 10. 
Possner cup series for 30ft. cats, June 10, July 4 and July 8. 
Ford cup series for 30ft. cats, July 15^ July 29 and Aug. 5. 
Open regatta in N. B. Y. R. A. series, July 17. 
Open regatta, Sept. 2. 
Wanderer IV. — The new cat Wanderer IV., designed 
by Mr. C. C. Hanley, of Quincy, Mass., and building at 
Messrs. Davis Brothers' shop at Warren for Messrs. H. 
J. and D. W. Flint, of Edgewood, is about planked in 
and will be finished in another month. The new boat is 
a typical centerboard racing cat, with an extreme for- 
ward overhang and a blunt stern. She is 34ft. 6in. over 
all, 24ft. waterline, and 12ft. 6in. breadth. The racing 
measurement under the two per cent rule will be about 
27ft., and the boat will have to give a considerable allow- 
ance, about I2s. per mile to the others of her class. The 
construction is of the best and she will be stoutly rigged, 
with a hollow mast and gafl^ and standing rigging of steel. 
Notes.— Commodore F. T. Rogers' new auxiliary yawl 
Truant, flagship of the Rhode Island Y. C, built from 
designs by Messrs. Small Brothers, of Boston, was 
launched this week at Boothbaj', Me. The owner, with 
the designer, and Secretary G. E. Darling and Mr. H. E. 
Barlow, of the Rhode Island Y. C, will go to Maine next 
week to bring the craft around tO' Narragansett Bay. 
Mr. Frederick S. Noah is building at East Greenwich 
from his own design a 34ft. hunting cabin launch for Mr. 
H. R. Williams, of Hartford, Conn. She is gft. breadth 
and 2ft. 4in. draft, with the canoe type of stern, will be 
finished in oak and cypress and equipped with a twelve 
horsepower Hartford motor. Another boat of similar 
type, 33ft. over all, is building by Mr. Noah for Mr. W. 
A. Bardell, of New -York. This boat is finished in oak 
with mahogany trim, and has a fifteen horsepower four- 
cylinder Buffalo motor. 
The Chase Yacht & Engine Company, of Providence, 
has an order for a 35ft. cruising power yacht for a local 
yachtsman. The boat will be of modern design, the 
cabin trunk rising flush from the top sides.

Opening for American Motor Boats. — Very few 
motor boats are in use on this part of the St. Lawrence. 
There is not a single craft owned in this town of 12,000 
inhabitants, with more than 500 w^ell-to-do people, of 
which one-half could well afford pleasure boats. Ameri- 
can manufacturers of the latest improved models would 
do well to send a man into this section. He would 
doubtless carry off some very good contracts from Three 
Rivers, as well as from the wealthy towns adjoining. 
There is no use in sending circulars. Only the indi- 
vidual soliciting of a first class salesman understanding- 
the French language can make headway here. — ^James H,

Designing Competition Suggestions. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Now that the $9,000 men are being satisfied with good 
things in the way of designs for cruising motor boats, 
why would it not be a nice idea for you to offer prizes 
for the best design of the smallest and cheapest motor 
boat cruiser wherein two congenial souls can cook meals 
and sleep with comfort? I take it that the word comfort 
in this case means a water closet, a place for one large 
or two small pneumatic mattresses, and ample cooking 
arrangements, for one cannot live by bread alone when 
on a cruise, and the better the things one has to eat the 
more successful will be the cruise, let the other condi- 
tions be what they may. 
It has always been my idea that a boat 25ft. long could 
be made to do the trick if carefully designed. I see some 
of the other yachting papers are taking it up. The Motor 
Boat in a recent issue puts forth a design for a 2Sft. 
cruiser, and the Rudder has one this month. The Rudder 
boat is evidently intended as a day cruiser only, having 
no galley or toilet arrangements. The Motor Boat de- 
sign is the best thing I have seen yet, but doesn't exactly 
suit me. The galley seems wofully inadequate, and, as I 
said before, the flesh pots are extremely appealing on a 
cruise. 
The $Q,ooo boats you are showing are the highest types 
of their class. The only trouble is so few of us can 
aft'ord to build them. Many, however, could raise $1,000 
if they could get for it the regular httle floating hotel 
they are looking for. So get the people at work, make it 
$1,000 limit, ail complete, and award the prize to the 
man who turns out the design that will make the best 
boat for the least money. This is a good time to do it, 
and we can all be ready to jump in and place our orders 
early next fall. Damon.

Competition No. IV. 
For a 60-Foot Wd'er ioe Launch. 
MORE TROUBLE. 
Designed by Charles D. Mower, and built by the Huntington Mtg 
Co., for racing in Class Q on Gravesend Bay, 
SUBMITTED BY HARRY P. FISKE, NEW YORK CiTY. 
In working out this design the object has been to pro- 
duce a good strong seawor.hy boat, one in which outside 
cruising could be done at any time of the year, and have 
ample accommodation for a man and wife, two guests and 
a crew of three men besides a steward. 
In _ order to comply with the requirements which 
specified a low trunk, it was necessary to have rather high 
freeboard to give full headroom. 
The deep draft which is within 2in. of the 4ft. limit, 
should tend to keep the boat from drifting off and the 
slack bilge would make her easy in a seaway. As it was 
desired to produce a boat for southern as well as northern 
cruising, copper sheathing was considered essential. 
The sides of trunk are set in 24in. from outside of 
plank sheer and this affords ample room to pass forward 
and aft. Forward, as shown, is the bridge and from this 
position the helmsman has an unobstructed view in every 
direction. A mahogany rail supported by brass stanchions 
runs the full length of boat. 
According to requirements, a short signalling mast is 
shown. As it was considered a necessity a 14ft. dinghy 
would be carried. 
The propulsion will be by twin screws, as this possesses 
a great many advantages over the single- .screw, especially 
in case of break down. The engines will be of the four- 
cylinder, four-stroke type, the combined horsepower of 
which will be 100. This should give a speed of fourteen 
miles per hon.r. Four hundred and fiftv eallo^'^ of p-aso- 
lene is considei-ed sufficient for a cruising radius of 700 
miles at eight miles per hour. 
As a measure of safety and to avoid the danger of 
gasolene finding its way into the bilge, the tanks are 
located between water-tight bulkheads forward and aft 
as shown. The forward tank has a capacity of 365 gal-
