Milton Point, Oct. 6. 
On Saturday there was sailed, under the auspices of 
the American Y. C., a special match race between two 
dories representing the Crescent A. C. and the American 
Y. C. As a result of a mistake, a warning signal was 
taken for the start, and Spray was jibed over too quickly 
in the heavy weather and capsized. The crew were soon 
rescued The course was laid off inside the harbor. The 
times follow:

New Steam Yachts. 
We print from the London Yachting World a 
notice of a steam yacht nearing completion in 
Scotland. A number of our fine steam yachts are 
English products. It is a pity that some chance 
is not afforded some of our builders, as their 
success with smaller vessels or yachts known as 
the American type of steam yachts have never 
been beaten or excelled. 
Ramage and Ferguson, Limited, Leith, launched 
from their yard recently a finely modeled steel 
screw steam yacht of about 700 tons yacht meas¬ 
urement, built to the order of Mr. C. W. Hark- 
ness, New York Y. C., from the designs and 
under the superintendence of Messrs. Cox and 
King, 5 Suffolk-street, Pall Mall, London. 
The principal dimensions of this yacht are: 
Length over all, 214ft.; breadth, 27ft. 6in., and 
depth moulded 16ft. 9m. 
The yacht is constructed of steel to Lloyd's 
highest class with awning deck extending full 
width of vessel and for about two-thirds of the 
length, with chart house and navigation bridge 
placed above same. 
Under the awning deck is a long range of deck 
houses, with drawing room finished in rich hard¬ 
wood at aft end and passage leading forward to 
a large dining room. 
The staterooms, which are fitted in choice hard¬ 
woods and handsomely furnished, are situated 
below the main deck, the owner’s private rooms 
being forward of the machinery space and his 
guests’ rooms abaft same. 
The yacht is fitted complete with all the most 
modern equipment, including steam windlass and 
capstan forward, steam warping capstan aft, com¬ 
bined steam and hand steering gear, electric 
light, steam heating, refrigerating machinery, etc. 
The propelling machinery consists of a set of 
four crank triple expansion engines with cylinders 
17m., 27m. and two 31 in. diameter by 27m. stroke, 
steam being supplied from two large single-ended 
boilers working up to 180 pounds pressure. 
On leaving the ways the yacht was named 
Agawa by Mrs. Harkness. 
This is the fourteenth yacht built by Ramage 
and Ferguson, Limited, to- the designs of Messrs. 
Cox and King, and they have two other yachts 
on the stocks for the same designers. 
Stearns <0. McKay. 
We publish herewith a partial list of boats 
hauled out at the main yard of Stearns & Mc¬ 
Kay, yacht builders, Marblehead. For some 
time past this firm realized the possibilities of 
storage in Marblehead, away from coal dust and 
on clean water, and accordingly some years ago 
acquired a large property on a little harbor, on 
which have been erected sheds for storage of 
yachts under cover. The increasing number of 
boats to haul out each year has shown that the 
efforts—and successful ones in the line of 
prompt deliveries in the spring—were appreciated 
by the yachtsmen. The firm builds launches and 
small boats, and have turned out some very suc¬ 
cessful large boats. In the small launches, the 
results obtained have not been widely published, 
but have been very successful, and a constant 
demand demonstrates their success and repu¬ 
tation. The number of boats hauled at both 
yards will reach I50. 
Among those hauled at their main yard are; 
America, C. W. Sherburne; Melusina, E. A. 
Doyle; Intrepid, H. A. Church; Ranger. Henry 
P. King; Margaret, G. A. Tuttle; Golden Rod,

cruising launches for Sharon M. Beach, Sey¬ 
mour, Conn.; W. J. Beane, San Francisco, Cal. 
The cruising launch for W. W. Carnes, ot 
Tampa, is nearly completed, and will leave for 
Florida after trial in about two weeks. 
A Cruising Boat. 
We publish this week the cabin and construc¬ 
tion plans of Multnomah, a sloop designed last 
winter by Mr. B. B. Crowninshield, of Boston, 
for Mr. Frank Drake. The plans show well the 
scheme of construction and arrangement. The 
lines and sail plan appeared last week. 
The auxiliary schooner yacht Utowana, Mr. 
Allison V. Armour, New York Y. C., has re¬ 
turned to New York after a four months’ Euro¬ 
pean cruise. Mr. Jordan L. Mott, accompanied 
Mr. Armour. Stops were made at ports in Eng¬ 
land, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. 
The passage home was very rough, the yacht 
being hove to about eight days, but came out of 
it very well and proved what a good sea boat 
she is.

The best of workmanship stands the 
racket none to well. 
How can anyone expect much of the 
other kind. 
If you haven’t the money to spend on both 
fine finish and strength, insist that your 
designer give you strength.
