20-25 horsepower will be installed, and she is expected 
to develop a speed of over 16 miles. 
Among the smaller craft is one for Mr. J. B. Palmer. 
This boat, which is being constructed in New Jersey, is 
2ift. over all and the same on the waterline, 5ft. 3in. 
breadth and 3ft. draft. 
Another boat of the same type is i8ft. over all, i8ft. 
waterline, 4ft. 6in. breadth and 2ft. draft. She has a 5 
horsepower engine. 
The names of the owners of the following boats have 
been withheld and as yet no contracts for their construc- 
tion have been let, although bids are now being taken : 
The longest is 77ft. over all, 77ft. waterline, 12ft. 
breadth, and 3ft. 3in. draft. She will be fitted with an 
engine of 175 horsepower. 
Next in size is a boat 84ft. over all, 75ft. 6in. water- 
line,. 13ft. breadth, 3ft. 6in. draft and an engine of 150 
horsepower. 
Then comes a craft 77ft. over all, 70ft. waterline, 12ft. 
breadth and 3ft. draft. The engine has not been settled 
upon as yet. 
_ Another cruising boat is 69ft. over all, 65ft. 3m. water- 
line, 12ft. breadth and 3ft. 9m. draft. Her engine will 
be of 60 horsepower. 
The dimensions of a little smaller boat are 67ft. 3in. 
over all, 59ft. waterline, 12ft. breadth and 3ft. 3m. draft. 
This boat will also have a 60 horsepower engine. 
The next boat is but ift. shorter on the waterline. She 
is 60ft. over ' all, 58ft. waterline, 12ft. breadth, 3ft. 6in. 
draft. A 50 horsepower engine will furnish the power. 
The largest of the remaining three is of the following 
dimensions: 51ft. over all, 45ft. rvaterline, lift, breadth 
and 3ft. draft. Considerable speed is wanted by the 
owner and an engine of 130 horsepower will be installed. 
A boat measuring 38ft. on deck and the same on the 
waterline comes next. She is 8ft. 6in. wide and her draft 
is 2ft. 6in. She will have an engine of 15 horsepower. 
Last, but not least, comes a boat 25 ft. long on deck. 
She measures the same on the waterline. The breadth 
is 5ft.' and the draft is 2ft. 6in. With a 25 horsepower 
engine a fair amount of speed is expected.

A Cruising Steam Launch. 
We present in this issue the complete plans of the 
cruising steam launch designed by Messrs. Small Bros, 
for Mr. Harry M. Rubey, of Macon, Mo. 
In these days it is rather unusual to see a boat 75ft. 
long driven by steam engines, but Mr. Rubey’s require- 
ments were such that steam answered his purpose rather 
better than any other power. 
The design shows a powerful boat with a pointel stern 
of the canoe type. The draft was restricted to 3ft. 4m., 
and she has liberal breadth and a flat floor. The free- 
board is ample, and there is a slight break in the sheer 
line just at the after end of the pilot house. 
The cabin house extends well fore and aft, and there 
is little deck space available. The boat is steered from 
the top of the cabin house just aft of the pilot house. 
The portion of the cabin house forward of the funnel is 
covered with an awning, and this space will be used as a 
lounging place for the owner and his guests. 
The companionway ladder is placed just aft of the 
cabin house, and anyone coming on board lands on the 
after deck. From this deck, which is covered with an 
awning, one enters the main saloon, which is lift. 6in. 
long. On either side of the companionway stairs are tran- 
soms. In the forward corner on the starboard side is 
the sideboard. There is a steam radiator in the center of 
the forward bulkhead. On the port side are two doors, 
one leads to the galley and the other tO' the passageway, .. 
which leads forward. Three sliding windows on each 
side give ample light and ventilation to the main cabin. 
The galley is 4ft. long and it is fitted with a large ice- . 
box, coal stove, sink, hot water boiler and folding tableJ - 
Under the deck are the dish lockers. Another door frorii 
the galley leads to the passageway. The engine room is 
gft. long and the coal bunkers are located on either side. 
The motive power consists of a compound engine 
X 13 X 8in., which will give the boat a speed of 7 or 8 
miles an hour. 
At the forward end of the passageway is a stateroom 
8ft. 6in. long and extending the width of the vessel. It 
is fitted with a brass bed, lounge and bureau. There is a 
radiator at the after end. Separating this room from ah- , 
other forward is the bathroom, which is 5ft. long. ; Here 
there is a porcelain tub, set basin and patent closet. The 
after stateroom has three windows on each side, while 
the forward one has but two on either side. Each of 
these rooms has a large clothes press. The forward room 
is 8ft. long and fitted very much the same as the other one; 
The pilot house, which is 9ft. long, is reached from 
either the deck or the forward sleeping cabin. Here there 
is a bookcase, desk, radiator and auxiliary steering geatj! 
On the forward deck is the capstan and a small comb 
panionway which leads to the forecastle. -tf; 
The vessel is heated by steam and lighted by electricitj?.,

Gorinthian Y. C. Championships.- — One of the most 
active racing clubs along the coast at the present time 
is the Corinthian Y. C., of Marblehead, which annually 
offers championship prizes in several classes in which 
its enrolled yachts are entitled to enter. It does not 
make a practice of giving open races, but during the 
early part of each August there is a series of invitation 
races, known as the “midsummer” series, winding up 
with an annual invitation race. While these are not 
technically open races and are not Y. R. A. races, the 
Corinthian Y. C. not being a member of that organiza- 
tion, they are for practical purposes open races, and all 
of the classes of the Y. R. ,A. of Mass, are generally pro- 
vided for. It may be said that the attendance at these 
races is far greater than at the regular club races. 
During the season that has just passed the Corinthian 
Y. C. races, both club and invitation, have been produc- 
tive of 449 entries, which may be .said to be an exceed- 
ingly large number for any one club during a season. 
During the four days of the midsummer series and the 
annual invitation race the aggregate of entries was 275, 
or over 60 per cent, of the total number of entries of the 
club for the whole season. On Aug. 10 the attendance 
was 79, the largest at any race in Massachusetts Bay 
during the season. Club championships were offered in 
seven classes, including four rating classes under the new 
uniform rule. 
Most active of these classes, as in the Y. R. A. circuits, 
was that of the 22-footers, in which Tyro, owned by Mr. 
W. H. Joyce, appeared to- have little difficulty in captur- 
ing the championship. Her record of five firsts and one 
second in six starts is an enviable one, and is in keeping 
with her work in other races during the season. 
In the i8ft. class Boo Hoo, owned by Mr. Reginald 
Boardman. took five firsts and one second in nine starts 
and is winner of the championship. Only four boats 
GAS eNgine:s and launches.
