Alert finished at 6:40 Sunday fflornmg and baladui 
came in at 7:52, ih. and 12m. later. Alyce finished third, 
and Tamerlane fourth, Pertekeese fifth and Gauntlet 
last By the time the latter boats finished it was 
blowing hard from the S. E., and the fog had lifted. 
When all the boats finished, the six crews visited the 
different boats. After the corrected times had been 
figured, the three prizes, which were aboard Saladm, 
she having been the treasure ship, were distributed. 
Gauntlet won on corrected time by 28m. hom 
Penekeese, which boat was second. Alert Won third 
prize. The summary follows;

Hanley, C. D. Mallory Did riot finish. 
Alert, the first boat to finish was designed and built 
by the Herreshoff Mfg. Co., solely for racing. She is 
a boat of modern design, with but limited internal room 
Her form, coupled with "Eddie" Fish's knowledge of 
the Sound, assured her success, and there was no doubt 
but what she would finish first. 
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the race was 
the showing made by Saladin, and it was entirely due 
to Mr. R. W. Rathborne's consummate skill as a navi- 
gator and his great ability as a boat sailor. He has 
been cruising constantly along the coast for over thirty 
years, and there are but few men who have so thorough 
a knowledge of conditions as he. Saladin is fifteen 
years old, and was one of the Burgess "thirties." She is 
very heavily built and was loaded down with all sorts 
of dunnage, as she is her owner's home for six months 
of the year. When Mr. Rathborne purchased the boat 
her rig was greatly reduced, and she carries no top- 
mast or topsails. There are less than 1,200 sq. ft. m 
her working sails. Saladin comes as near being a per- 
fect cruising boat, that can come and go in any 
weather, as there is afloat. Up to June 5 her owner had 
cruised 1,200 nautical miles in her since putting the boat 
in commission this year. This is more than many so- 
called yachtsmen do in a lifetime. 
Penekeese is also an old-time boat, a Buzzard s my 
product. She made a very creditable showing, and did 
well to get a prize. 
The system of basing time allowance on over all 
length, as was done in this race, works a hardship on 
some of the boats, and we believe a better method can 
be devised before the New York A. C. repeats the race 
. next year. 
The delightful part of this event was that every one 
was satisfied and every one added to their store of ex^ 
perience. There were no protests, kicks or accidents 
of any sort, and we sincerely hope that all such events 
may be so consummated.

Seawanhaka Challengers OuT.'-Both Seawanhaka 
cup challengers, owned by members of the Manchester Y. 
C, are now in the water, and tried out late last week. 
They are not yet in any form to show which is the faster 
They will be tuned lip off Manchester for a few days and 
will" be shipped to Montreal about June 25, for more 
extended trials on Lake St. Louis. Tunipoo, owned by 
Mr John L. Bremer, will be sailed by Mr. E, A. Board- 
man, who designed both boats. Manchester, owned by 
Mr. A. Henry Higginson, will be sailed by Mr. Reginald 
Boardman. Tunipoo is 39ft. over all, about 25ft. water- 
line and about Sin. draft. Manchester is about the same 
waterline, but is about a foot longer over all Tunipoo 
is the broader of the two and has her beam Carried well 
forward Manchester, however, makes up for her leSSer 
beam bv having harder bilges. Her bow is drawn m 
more than Tunipoo's. Both have steel bilge boafds and 
double rudders. They have more power than boats that 
have been Sent after the trophy fi-om America before. The 
rigs on bolh are low, it having been found that the low 
rig of the Canadian boats stood to better advantage than 
the high rigs of the American boats in the strong breezes 
encountered in previous races. 
Winton's Engine Installed. — The 40ft. autoboat, 
Winton, built for Mr. Lewis R. Speare, of BrookHne, by 
Messrs. Stearns & McKay at the Marblehead Yacht 
Yards, has been having her engine, a 12-cylinder Wmton, 
of 150 horsepower, installed at Cleveland. She will be 
launched on June 28 and will be christened hv Miss Caro- 
line Speare. After being tried out on fresh water, she 
will be shipped to Marblehead. 
Seventy i^oot Launch.— Messrs. Small Brothers have 
received an order for a 70ft. launch from Mr. Harry W. 
Ruby, of Macon, Mo. She will have about 40 horse- 
power, the make of the engine not being decided yet. 
Steam Yacht Lillian G. Launched.— The steam 
yacht Lillian G, built at Camden, Me., for former Com- 
modore Simon Goldsmith, of the South Boston Y. C,. 
was launched June 10 and sailed for Boston on Wednes- 
day, June 14. She is 64ft. over all, 15ft. beam and 6ft. 
bin. draft. Commodore Goldsmith will use her for cruis- 
ing along the coast. . ' 
Power Tender for Ardea. — Mr. Norman L. Skene has 
received an order for an i8ft. power tender for the steam 
yacht Ardea, ex-Hanniel, owned by Mr. Clarkson 
Cowles, of the New York Y. C. The boat will be •4ft. 
9in. beam, and will have a three horsepower Toquet en- 
gine. 
Rig Changed. — The 25-footer Bessikin, owned by Mr. 
F. W. Meads, of Brookline, has been altered to a yawl 
rig at Lawley's. Her name has been thanged to Osprey. 
She was built in IQ03 for Mr. F. E. Sweetser.

Boston Letter. 
Eastern Y. C. Ocean Race.— The official circular for 
the ocean race of the Eastern Y. C. from Marblehead to 
Halifax, starting Aug 21, has been issued. The start 
will be made off Marblehead Rock at 10 A. M., and the 
finish will be off the club house of the Royal Nova Scotia 
Y. C Halifax Harbor. Allowances will be reckoned on 
a basi's of 357 miles. There will be classes for schooners 
from 5Sft rating up to 90ft. rating and over, and for 
sloops and yawls of from 27ft. rating up to looft. rating 
and over. Prizes of silver will be awarded m each class 
in which two or more yachts start. A second prize will 
be offered for classes in which four or more yachts start, 
and a third prize will be offered for classes m which 
seven or more yachts start. A trophy will be given to 
all yachts, not prize winners, that complete the course. 
Yachts of any recognized yacht club, of more than 30ft. 
waterline, are invited to enter. 
Prince of Wales Cup Offered.— Yachts competing m 
the ocean race of the Eastern Y. C. have been invited by 
the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron to compete for 
the Prince of Wales cup, the most valued yachting trophy 
in Great Britain's colonies. This cup was presented to 
the Royal Nova Scotia Y. C. by the present King of Eng- 
land when he visited Halifax in i860, and was handed 
down to the members of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht 
Squadron by the members of the original club, as a 
legacy in 1898. It is a beautiful trophy, standing more 
than 2ft high. According to the conditions under which 
the cup is offered, it can be held by the winning yacht 
nine months, when it must be returned to Halifax, to be 
raced for in Halifax harbor. It may be brought back, • 
however, as many times as it is won by an Ainerican 
yacht The race this year will be sailed on Aug. 26, after 
the ocean race has been finished. On Monday, Aug. 28, 
the fleet of ocean racers will run to Shelburne, N S., 
where there will be races for special prizes offered by 
the Shelburne Y. C. ^ ■ t 1 c> t

Cfwise of the American Power Boat Association, 
The first cruise of the American Power Boat Associ-, 
ation will be held in August. The rendezvous will be 
at Hudson, New York, on Aug. 17, at noon. At 3 
o'clock of the same day the fleet will get under way and 
proceed to Albany, where they will be entertained by 
the Albany Y. C. that night. On the morning of the: 
i8th, the fleet will enter the canal and stopping at two 
or three places during their trip, and will leave the 
canal at Oswego, where they will be entertained by 
the Oswego Y. C. From here the run will be 60 miles 
across the lake to the Thousand Islands Y, C, where 
the fleet will remain Aug. 24, 25 and 26. Entertainment 
has been arranged for each of these days and nights. 
On one of these dates the Frontenac Y. C. will give 
a ball in honor of the cruise, and in the afternoon of 
these dates the races for the American Power Boat 
Association's Challenge cup will be held. 
The entries are already very encouraging to the com- 
mittee and it is thought that a very large number of 
owners will avail themselves of this opportunity of visit- 
ing one of the most picturesque localities for cruising 
in this country. , 
The cruise is open to all power boats owned_ by 
members of any club which is enrolled in the American 
Power Boat Association, and it is earnestly requested 
on account of the number of details to be arranged 
for by the committee, that entries will be made as 
early as possible. Entry blanks can be obtained upon 
application, and entries may be made to the chairman 
of the committee. The committee is composed of R. 
C. Fisher, J. Norris Oliphant and J. H. Mcintosh, 
Chairman, 32 Broadway.

Toronto Hunters for Canada's Cup. 
Toronto, June 5.— The two Canada cup challengers 
built for Toronto men at Oakville side by side differ 
greatly in general dimensions and appearance. 
Zoraya, the first of the challengers, was successfully 
launched on Saturday, June 3. Temeraire, the other chal- 
lenger, was then all but ready for the water, and Mr. Fred 
Nicholls, her owner, was assured of her being launched 
the following week, 
As already stated in these columns, Zoraya represents 
the skill of Mr. Alfred Mylne, Temeraire was designed 
by Mr. Will Fife, Jr. The frames and iron work of both 
boats were built in the Old Country and shipped early in 
the year to Canada for putting together and planking. 
Zoraya, as finished, shows a short, business-like boat, 
that has plenty of accommodation. She is a racy looking 
craft, with a moderate amount of sheer, but her fairly 
large Cabin top prevents her having the extreme appear- 
ance of her rival. FTer cabin front is 13ft. long, and 
while the sides are low the high arched top is I9in. above 
deck. 
Temeraire, on the other hand, has a dome-shaped cabin 
trunk which looks more like an excuse for qualifying her 
under the new specifications than a serious attempt at 
providing head room. It is a very narrow affair, only 8ft. 
long and does not make any more break in the flush deck 
than would a fair-sized skylight. 
Zoraya is short, sharp and aggressive looking; Temer- 
aire, smooth and slender, carried out at the end to the 
very vanishing point. She is, perhaps, the better looking 
boat of the two as far as her hull goes, but her sail plan 
is less suggestive of speed in light weather and general 
windward qualities than Zoraya's. It is much longer on 
the base and not nearly so high peaked. 
The lines of the two yachts have already been de- 
scribed fairly thoroughly. Zoraya has a nearer approach 
to the V section and Temeraire has slightly hollower gar- 
boards. Temeraire's sides show a considerable flare. 
Zoraya, while wider on deck than at the waterline, has 
considerable rounding in. In profile the two boats are not 
very dissimilar, the fin being by no means abrupt or 
prominent. The curve from the stemhead to the forward 
end of the lead ballast in Zoraya shows slightly less of a 
reverse than does Temeraire's, but the forward end of the 
fin in both yachts never approaches the perpendicular. _ In 
the same way the midship section also gives very little 
prominence to the fin. Zoraya's sides are carried down 
almost to the lead ballast and Temeraire's, while sHghtly 
hollower, do not show much flatness in the fin except in 
the after half of it. The line of Zoraya's lead is more 
oblique than Temeraire's. The bottom of Temeraire's 
bulb, while slightly rockered, is almost horizontal. 
The rudders, of the two boats are almost alike in shape. 
They are large and add considerable to the lateral plane. 
The masts of the two boats are, curiously enough for 
Canadian challengers, the product of American industry, 
both being manufactured by the Eraser Hollow Spar & 
Boat Company, of Greenport, N. Y. They are beautiful 
sticks nearly soft, in length and 8i/in._ in diameter. 
Temeraire's has a marked shoulder on which the eyes of 
the rigging rest. Zoraya's mast is of uniform diameter 
from heel to head, and it will be necessary to put shells 
on it for the eyes of the rigging. Temeraire's mast has a 
neat-fitting galvanized iron cap with jib-halliard and peak- 
halliard blocks attached. Zoraya, on the other hand, 
economizes measurement to the very limit on account of 
the great hoist of her sail plan. Consequently her jib- 
halliard block is carried lower down on the forestay, an- 
other block taking the halliard on the mast. The two are 
joined by a small strut.. 
Zoraya is the heroine in Mrs. Patrick Campbell's latest 
play, "The Sorceress." Temeraire, of course, is the name 
of Nelson's old flagship. 
While the formal trial races for the Canada cup do 
not take place until July 22, it is the intention of Mr. J. 
H. Fearnside, owner of Hamilton II., to bring his boat 
down for the Royal Canadian Y. C.'s races for the 30ft. 
class. These are scheduled for June 17, June 24, July i, 
July 8 and July 15. 
Four suits of canvas will be provided for the Toronto 
boats. Messrs. Lapthorne '& Ratsey will provide a suit for 
each and Zoraya will also have a complete suit by Messrs. 
Oldreeve & Horn, of Kingston, Ont. Mr. John Leckie, 
of Toronto, will furnish Temeraire's second suit. 
The comparative dimensions of the two boats are here 
given in detail for the first time :

Atlantic Y. C. Cruise.— The Atlantic Y. C. fleet will 
rendezvous for the annual cruise at Larchmont on 
July S. At 5 o'clock P. M,, there will be a meeting of 
the captains on board the flagship to discuss the follow- 
ing squadron runs, which have been suggested as best 
serving the interests of the fleet: 
July 6 — Larchmont to Morris Cove. 
July 7_Morris Cove to New London. 
July 8— New London to Shelter Island. 
July 9 — Shelter Island. 
July 10— Shelter Island to Block Island. 
July II— Block Island to Newport. 
July 12 — Newport to Sea Gate, outside course. 
The squadron runs will be under the direction of the 
Regatta Committee, with headquarters on board the 
flagship.
