LIPTON CUP, CLASS Q, MASSACHUSETTS BAY.

U. S. S. Boxer. 
The half-brig which appears on this week’s 
cover is the United States training ship Boxer, 
which is one of the many vessels forming the 
equipment of the Newport Naval Training 
Station. The Boxer may often be seen picking 
her way about Narragansett Bay, and indeed, the 
sight of a square-rigged vessel is so rare, that one 
is much surprised to see the ease and also a 
certain slowness with which such ships are 
handled. It is on the Boxer, and a few other 
ships of this type, that our men-of-warsmen get 
their training in the seamanship of the old days 
when the sail was supreme. The photo is by 
Burton of New York. 
THE CLASS Q MATCH. 
Last May Forest and Stream called atten¬ 
tion to the possibility of arranging a series of 
races in the Q Class between the champions re¬ 
spectively of Massachusetts Bay and Gravesend 
Bay, that might be sailed off late in September. 
In Massachusetts Bay, interest in Class Q has 
only just been awakened, but grows in strength, 
as is indicated by many rumors of new boats to 
be built next year. A number of old boats were 
made to fit the class, but the only new one is 
Orestes, which remains cock of the walk after 
the season’s racing. Much of the interest dis¬ 
played may be traced to the arrival at Boston 
of the Lipton cup—a fine exemplar of the silver¬ 
smith’s art—which certainly helped to renew an 
interest somewhat overshadowed by the Sonder 
Class races. The Boston contingent with their 
usual energy will no doubt have a number of 
new boats next year, and the racing will be of the 
same keenness that has characterized the various 
classes which have been so popular since the 
advent of the knockabout some years ago. 
At home the boats have been raced hard, but 
the handling of them all has at times been 
miserable. From a boat point of view their 
designers may feel satisfaction at the fine little 
vessels they have produced. 1 hese boats are 
fine yachts for day sailing and racing, being very, 
fast and weatherly, and when snugged down in a 
blow, are quite as dry as any boat of their 
inches. There is.sufficient room in the cuddy to 
house the light sails and one man, and the only 
thing against them, or some of them, is the 
deck arrangement, which is not in all cases well 
adapted to the business in hand. Rule or no 
rule, the boats so far are what is wanted; they 
are expensive, but labor and material must be 
paid for, and also a profit for the builder must 
appear. In the case of luxuries such as ma¬ 
hogany planking and so on, we must remember 
that we do not go into yachting any more than 
we go into a business deal—blindly. 
The Class Q scheme has lain dormant all sum¬ 
mer. We pointed out at the time that there 
were three months in which preparation could 
be made. The end of the season is drawing near 
and two plans have been broached. One of 
these was for a meeting of Orestes with the 
champion Q boat of Gravesend after trial races, 
given under the auspices of the Atlantic Y. C., 
for a trophy of $506 value; the course to be out¬ 
side in the Lower Bay. The second was that 
Joy should journey to Marblehead and try con¬ 
clusions with Orestes under the auspices of the 
Eastern Y. C. The first plan seems to be the 
one most likely to materialize. 
The one satisfaction in the matter is that much 
interest has been aroused, and there is good reason 
to believe that our suggestion of last spring will 
bring forth fruit next year and establish be¬ 
tween Boston and New York a keen and health¬ 
ful rivalry in the racing of these fine little boats.
