Messrs. Swasey, Raymond & Page report that 
the steel steam yacht, which they have designed 
for Mr. C. E. Proctor, New York Y. C., is pro¬

show a very well turned boat, combining good 
looks, good speed and comfort. She will be 
delivered on May 15, 1907, and as a product of 
the Jacob yard, will bear out that builder’s good 
reputation. 
The other yacht well under way is for Messrs. 
Marshall & Spader, brokers, of New York. The 
yacht will be used about New York and to 
convey the owners to their summer homes at 
Falmouth, Mass., on week ends. This boat 
will be driven by a 100 horsepower Standard

The classification of racing boats for the 
Florida regatta caters to nearly every type of 
boat, and the entries promise to be larger than 
ever. Theodore D. Wells, Chairman of the re¬ 
gatta committee, 32 Broadway, New York, will 
receive entries and give information, while the 
general arrangements are in the hands of W. J.

A jury in the United States Circuit Court 
awarded to Charles H. Herreshoff recently a ver¬ 
dict for $675, owed to him by C. H. Davis for 
designing the power launch V. Mr. Davis put 
in a counter claim for a one-rater designed by 
Mr. Herreshoff in 1902, and had yachtsmen in 
court to testify that the boat was a failure as a 
racer. 
B. B. Crowninshield, who was concerned in the 
designing of Thomas W. Lawson’s unsuccessful 
yacht Independence, created a laugh by testify¬ 
ing that Independence was a good racer. In his 
own behalf Mr. Herreshoff testified that he had 
done everything in his power to make the V a 
success as a racer, but that he had nothing what¬ 
ever to do with the engine in the boat. 
The one-stickers were not his own creation, 
but were good racers in light breezes. 
The jury decided that Mr. Herreshoff’s case 
was good in equity and in law.—New York 
Times. 
The above case is one of interest to yachtsmen 
as well as naval architects. So far we have not 
gotten all the points in the case, but hope to make 
some comment upon the matter very shortly.
