Boston Letter. 
With the 22-footers. — It already looks as though the 
keen competition in the 22ft. class will be continued for 
another season, at least, as there is more or less talk of 
new boats to be built for the class during the coming win- 
ter. Mr. George Lee, who raced the old Medric last sea- 
son, is to have a new one from designs of Mr. E. A. 
Boardman. She is now being built by Fenton, of Man- 
chester. Peri II. was built for Mr. Lee, and after a sea- 
son of good racing he exchanged her for Medric, which 
he believed to be the faster of the two, a belief which he 
has probably since abandoned. 
Dr. Morton Prince, who went into the 22ft. class this 
year with Peri II., is also talking of having a new one 
built. Dr. Prince has not yet placed his order, but it is 
likely that he will do- so in the event of any activity 
shown in the building of new boats. 
Mr. H. L. Bowden, who owns Rube, one of this sea- 
son’s boats, is considering a new one for next year. Mr. 
Bowden has been consulting Crowninshield in regard to 
the design, but has not yet ordered. 
Mr. W. H. Joyce, whose Tyro took the championship 
this year, is satisfied to remain in the class for another 
season. He will build a new one if he can find anybody 
who wants to -take a chance with Tyro, but will race the 
champion if she is not disposed of. 
New Class of Old 25-FOOTERS.— There is at present a 
movement on foot, to establish an association which will 
take care of the existing 25-footers of normal dimensions. 
Some of these boats have long since dropped to more than 
25ft. waterline, and there might be some that never were 
as low as 25ft. To allow all of the boats that were in- 
tended to be 25-footers to race, it is suggested that the 
class which the new association will control may measure 
not more than 27ft. nor less than 24ft. waterline. There 
are more than a dozen boats that could be gotten together 
for such a class, the owners of which would be most 
anxious to race with boats of somewhere near equal, 
length. The limit of over all length is placed at 43ft., 
which would bar the productions of 1903 — Sally VII. , 
Early Dawn III. and Great Haste. Mr. Arthur Leary, 
of the South Boston Y. C., is the originator of the plan, 
to bring the old 25ft. class to life again, and his efforts 
may be productive of some very good racing next season. 
New Cape Cat Ordered. — Messrs. Small Brothers have, 
received an order for a Cape cat for Messrs. Dudley and: 
Hodge, of the Revere Y. C, which will be raced in the 
open events for the class next season. The owners have 
been very consi.stent racers in the sailing dory class, and 
in going up a class they will not part with their old loves, 
but will race them whenever they can. The new boat 
will be different in her lines from the older Cape cats.. 
She will have moderate beam and a hull of easy form, 
with a moderate sail plan. The sailing of such a boat may 
show why an old-time cat of flat iron form, with a sail 
plan which properly belongs to a boat twice her length, 
cocks up her tail like a sheldrake and refuses to move 
when one tries to drive her in a heavy chance. 
New One-Design Classes. — Alessrs. Small Brothers 
have received an order for a one-design class of 15-footers 
for members of the Hingham Y. C. They will be 22ft. 
over all and will have a moderate knockabout rig. It is 
expected that ten of these boats will be built. The same 
designers have also an order for a one-design class of 
racing yawls for members of the Buffalo Canoe Club. 
These boats will be 25ft. over all, 17ft. waterline, and 8ft. 
breadth. They have designed a 35ft. waterline yawl for 
Mr. W. Mosely Swain, of Philadelphia, and have an order 
for a 22ft. waterline auxiliary yawl for Mr. H. F. Knight. 
Thirty-three Rater Ordered. — Mr. B. B. Crownin- 
shield has received an order for a 33-rater for a Boston 
yachtsman, whose name is withheld for the present. This 
is the first that has been heard of the proposed new class 
so far. It is said that the owner of the new one is not 
interested in the formation of .any new class, but it is 
believed that there are sevjeral other yachtsmen who 
would build for the class without much inducement. This 
rating produces a boat of admirable length for both rac- 
ing and cruising, and it is likely that if intere.st in the 
class is once started it will not soon wane. 
New Schooners to be Built. — Two new schooners, 
and possibly three, of 56ft. waterline, are to be built at 
Lawley’s this winter. One of these is for Rear Commo- 
dore Alfred Douglas, of the Boston Y. C. The owner of 
the other schooner is not given, but there are many who 
believe she is for Mr. Henry A. Morss, of the Boston and 
Eastern yacht clubs. It is possible that the third 
schooner will be for Mr. George L. Batchelder, who has 
raced the ,30-footer Dorel successfully for two seasons. 
Dorel is in the market, and it is known that Mr. Batch- 
elder wants to go to greater length. 
Cigarette Exceeds Contract Speed.— The steam yacht 
Cigarette, designed by Messrs. Swasey, Raymond and 
Page for Mr. W. H. Alley, and built at Lawley’s, was re- 
cently given a speed trial over the Government course at 
Provincetown. In one direction she made 20 knots an 
hour, but on the return brought the speed down until 
the average showed 18.56 knots an hour. The contract 
speed is 18 knots, and the builders will receive a bonus 
for the excess. John B. Killeen. 
Hazel and the Hudson River Races. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 22 . — Editor Forest and 
Stream: In your report of the races, held on the Hudson 
River last week, you said that Hazel, in class 2, division 
2, starting on Sept. 16. at 10:40 o’clock, did not finish. I 
beg to call your attention to the fact that Hazel did finish, 
and covered the course in 2h. 24m. 3s., official time, and 
further, that Glissando did not start. In the afternoon 
races Hazel was ready to start, but as the owner was an 
invalid and the excitement was telling on him, and there 
was but one prize in this class, which, under a fool rating 
of the boats entered in this class, he had no possible 
chance of winning anything but glory, he decided to with- 
draw. We covered this nautical miles on Thursday 
morning in 40m. 28s., and on the last lap struck a sub- 
merged barrel, injuring the wheel to such an extpt that 
we could barely stem tide in order to cross the finish line. 
This injury was of such a character that on Saturday 
morning it took us 48m. to cover the same distance, but in 
all our racing we varied but 2m. to los. on each round, 
which, we think, is a record to be proud of. 
The rating we speak of, on which protest was made, 
was the time allowance which Arcadia gave Glissando and 
Hazel. Arcadia being 36ft. L.W.L., with only 6ft. yin. 
beam and not quite 4ft. freeboard, with 25 horsepower, 
while Hazel was 46ft. long, loft. 6in. beam and over 7ft 
freeboard, with the same horsepower, and Arcadia was 
only penalized 15m. for the 19^ nautical miles, which we 
consider ridiculous. Besides, Arcadia was measured by 
National Association rules, and Hazel and Glissando were 
measured under a combination of the National Asso- 
ciation and A. P. B. A. rules, which was manifestly un- 
fair. 
Kindly make a correction of this matter and give Hazel 
credit for all that is due her, as the figures show that she 
was doing better than ii statute miles an hour — a most 
remarkable performance for a boat of her size and horse- 
power. 
On our return here we found that Hazel arrived home 
with one blade bent nearly double.

Designer and Builder. 
[We regret the error regarding Hazel’s performances 
in our account of the power boat races held on the Hud- 
son River, and we are glad of the*^ opportunity of pub- 
lishing Mr. Dantzebecher’s letter. — Ed.] 
Rhode Island Notes, 
At the annual meeting of the Bristol Y. C., held the past 
week, Mr, Charles F. Tillinghast, owner of the famous 
little racing sloop Little Rhody, was re-elected commo- 
dore for the second term, and a new rear commodore 
was elected in the person of Mr. Louis L. Lorillard, Jr., 
of Newport. The other officers elected were as follows : 
Vice-Corn., Russell Grinnell ; Sec’y-Treas., Frank A. In- 
graham; Meas., Charles H. Douglass; Aud., Dr. W. Fred 
Williams; Regatta Committee, Horace S. Peck, Walter 
S. Aliny and Sumner Ball ; Executive Committee, Dr. W. 
Fred Williams, Henry Hayes, E. I. Brownell, Wallis E. 
Howe and H. H. Shepard; House Committee, Edward 
H. Tingley, James Connery and T. Smith McKeon; Mem- 
bership Committee, F. A. Ingraham, J. Winthrop De 
Wolf, Frederic Hayes, L. S. Hoffman and William Brad- 
ford. The annual reports showed the club to be in a 
prosperous condition and membership list Is now the 
largest in the club’s history, twenty-nine new names hav- 
ing been added during the past season. The successful 
ocean race held in July is to be repeated next season. 
The handsome new club house of the Fall River Y. C., 
located at Stone Bridge, Tiverton, R. L, was formally 
opened Sept. 19, the members holding a public reception 
in the afternoon and giving a large dance in the evening. 
The attendance was large and the successful housewarm- 
ing gave the new headquarters a start under the most 
auspicious conditions. The location is one of the best on 
the bay and very convenient, as it is only six miles from 
£7d 
Fall River. The new clubhouse k of pleasing design and 
is admirably arranged for its purposes. The extension of 
the club’s facilities in this way has already resulted in d 
large increase in membership, which will undoubtedly 
bring an increased activity of the organization in Narra- 
gansett Bay yachting affairs. The present commodore of 
the club is Mr. Frank L. Andrews, owner of the cruising 
power boat Glissando, which took second place in last 
summer’s ocean race for power boats from New York 
to Marblehead. F. H. Young.
