item in the bill for a lead mine to be carried 
under the keel, and all fittings are of the plain¬ 
est; they are made for work, and work they do, 
and in such little ships it would seem that one 
might cruise anywhere in perfect safety and with 
good speed. Stranger is owned by the Eastern 
Fishing Co., of T Wharf, Boston. The rigging 
details are interesting, as very few of these de¬ 
tails are ever published. The details of dimen¬

Power Boat Show. 
Upon the receipt of a circular received from 
Messrs. Cochrane & Payne, we communicated 
with the National Association of Engine & 
Boat Manufacturers. We publish herewith their 
letter in full; this will tend to avoid confusion. 
It is regretted that such an incident should have 
occurred, as it is going to do a certain amount 
of harm—where it is most unwelcome: 
“October 22, 1906. 
“W. C. Anderson, Esq., Manager, Chicago 
Power Boat Show: 
“Dear Sir—In reply to yours of the 20th inst., 
beg to call your attention to the following letter 
which has been sent members of our Asso¬ 
ciation : 
“ ‘We beg to call the attention of all members 
of our Association to the fact, that under date 
of Oct. 11, 1906, Messrs, Cochrane & Payne, 
Managers of the Chicago Motor Boat Show, 
state, “that their show (the Chicago Motor Boat 
Boat Show) has been officially sanctioned by 
the Committeemen of the National Association 
of Engine & Boat Manufacturers.” ’ 
“This statement is misleading, as no action 
has been taken by your Executive Committee 
in reference to this or any show, other than the 
National Motor Boat Show which is held in 
New York city at Madison Square Garden Feb. 
19 to 26. 
“Further, it was the sense of the members at 
the last annual meeting that this Association 
sanction but one show for 1907. 
(Signed) “H. S. Gambel, 
"Secretary of National Assn, of Engine & Boat 
Manufacturers.” 
YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
We have received from Mr. Henry Howard, 
the chairman of the Eastern Y. C. Regatta 
Committee, the report for 1906. The book con¬ 
tains the detailed times of the various races 
given by the club during the summer, also re¬ 
ports of motor boat races. There are about 
fifty pages, and the matter contains a number 
of charts, etc., and some very good photos of 
sonder class boats, including Vim, designed by 
Gardner, and owned by Mr. Trenor L. Park. 
The complete report and proceedings relating 
to that most pleasant event, the Roosevelt cup 
races, is very interesting.

Sterns & McKay, yacht builders, Marblehead, 
report the storage of the following yachts, be¬ 
sides a number already recorded in these pages: 
At the main yard the auxiliary Comanche, Wm. 
P. Wharton; Heron, Walter J. Badger; Wyvern, 
A. N. Longfellow; Siesta, F. M. Whitehouse; 
Thetis, power tender, belonging to L. Reed 
Anthony, and also his cutter Doris, are hauled 
out for the winter; Melusina is also hauled out. 
At the No. 2 yard there are many boats that 
have been berthed since the first fall rush, these 
include Hostess, A. P. Loring; Friendship V., 
Mr. Rollard, and a number of other boats. 
Messrs Stearns & McKay are very busy with 
designing orders, one of which is for a 70ft. 
power boat for the Great Lakes, and a 40- 
foOter for use in New York waters next summer, 
and a duplicate for Cape May and the lower 
Delaware. The firm has lately developed an 
invention of Mr. Sterns’ consisting of an ex¬ 
truded metal hinge for skylights, and the fitting 
is very neat, absolutely watertight, and one that 
can be readily fitted, being in one length from 
end to end. It does not take the time in fitting 
as the common hinges require.

The annual dinner of the Motor Boat Club of 
America will take place at the Hotel Astor on 
Saturday evening, Nov. 24. Many prominent 
guests are expected. The annual meeting will 
be held at the Hotel Manhattan on Wednesday 
evening, Nov. 21. 
The committee on nominations for officers of 
the club for the ensuing year has made the fol¬ 
lowing selections: Commodore, Edward J. 
Schroeder; vice-commodore, Joseph H. Hoadley; 
rear-commodore, Dr. Seymour Oppenheimer; 
secretary, Hugh S. Gambel; treasurer, Charles 
Francis; board of governors, John D. Roach. Dr. 
Louis Neumann, E. A. Stevens, Jr.; Charles 
Boucher and Frank D. Gheen.

Avast there. John D. Long, ex-ruler of Uncle 
Sam’s navee; every one does not hope that Sir 
Thomas Lipton will “lift” the cup if he tries 
again. We sail the seas of Sandy Hook to keep 
the cup to the end of recorded time, if it is in 
us to build the better model and seize the advan¬ 
tage of wind and tide; and we are not above 
winning with an inferior model if we can sail 
her well enough. Should Sir Thomas Lipton 
succeed in his next attempt, he would richly de¬ 
serve to succeed, and for that reason our con¬ 
gratulations would be all the more hearty. But" 
we shall go qn beating him if we can until he 
cries enough. The America’s Cup will never be a 
consolation prize.—New York Sun.

We have received from the H. E. Boucher 
Manufacturing Co., of 105 Maiden Lane, a little 
catalogue very neatly gotten up. The firm manu¬ 
factures models of yachts, steamers and fighting 
vessels, will develop inventions, make patterns and 
all those mechanical pieces of work or machinery 
that require special tools. The catalogue is a 
very nicely made pamphlet, but to our mind is 
inadequate to the business the Boucher Company 
are doing. People in America to-day are unedu¬ 
cated to the beauties and value of such things 
as models, and would like to> know more about 
the business. There is nothing in the book to 
inform them of the value of models. We have 
always heard of great prices being paid for 
models. They are expensive, but not so much so 
but what a yachtsman may afford one or more of 
his boats. 
We hear the Boucher Company, after being less 
than a year at 105 Maiden Lane, are removing 
to more commodious quarters also in Maiden 
Lane. We hope that another catalogue may be 
gotten out to celebrate the event and give more 
information about a subject in which many people 
are greatly interested and seeking not only in¬ 
formation but have a willingness to acquire 
models.
