FOREST AND STREAM. 
doubled on a similar single screw boat. 
By going back to one propeller and by having 
an 18 horsepower engine, Mr. Hutchinson expects 
to develop as much speed in the narrower boat 
as Davy Jones could exhibit with 24 horsepower, 
and at the same time the new boat is more roomy. 
Incidentally, merely incidentally, the initial, in¬ 
stallation and operating expenses will be les¬ 
sened. 
The Lake Winnipesauke Y. C. held its annual 
meeting and dinner at the Hotel Bellevue, Dec. 
21. The plans for the new club house and for the 
proposed one-design class of 25ft. cabin launches 
were discussed dnd accepted as was Mr. A. J. 
Ward’s generous gift of a two acre lot for the 
club house site. Mr. C. A. Sanders, of the Gerry 
Emmons Co., spoke very interestingly on prac¬ 
tical phases of power boats.

Southern Notes. 
The latest acquisition to the fleet of the South¬ 
ern Y. C. is the noted Boston racing yacht Man¬ 
chester, which has just been purchased by E. H. 
Keep, of this city. Manchester is the champion 
boat of her class of the United States and Can¬ 
ada, and was the winner of a very important in¬ 
ternational contest between the two countries in 
1905. This event was for the possession of the 
gold challenge cup known as the Seawanhaka 
Y. C. cup, which was won away from this coun¬ 
try some ten years ago and which the Canadians 
have successfully defended against American at¬ 
tack every year since. Several of the best de¬ 
signers of this country had attempted to win back 
the trophy, but were unsuccessful until the Man- 
chaster went over to Lake St. Claire in Canada 
and took three straight races from the other 
side. Manchester is of the racing machine type 
and will race against such boats as Wahkita, Of 
the Southern Y. C., and Kibosh, the Gulfport 
(Miss.) Y. C. champion. She is about 38ft. 
long, beam, and is fitted with double rud¬ 
ders and bilge boards and has 500 square feet of 
sail. She was designed by E. A. Boardman, naval 
architect, of Boston, and Mr. Keep purchased the 
boat from Dr. J. L. Bremer, of Manchester, 
Mass., near Boston. The boat was built by A. 
Higginson, of that place, and she is very super¬ 
iorly constructed and should last for a number 
of years, which is not the case with some of the 
western built boats of the type brought Tiere, 
which were not constructed to be used in salt 
water. A boat for this purpose should be fastened 
with either copper or brass, as is Manchester, she 
being put together with brass screws. The boat 
will be brought here by rail shortly. Mr. Keep 
will change her name to Seawanhaka, as the name 
was not sold with the boat, the owner desiring to 
retain the appellation as the name for a craft 
that will represent his home town, Manchester, 
in the Sonderklasse races next year. Seawan¬ 
haka, ex-Manchester, should with Mr. Keep’s 
handling—he formerly owned the champion 
Kayoshk of this section—make things very lively 
along this coast next season for the division of 
racing machine sloops of the largest size.

Weetamoe Sold. 
Mr. Henry F. Lippitt, Providence, R. I., has 
sold his sloop Weetamoe, designed by William 
Gardner, to Mr. 'Chas. Lane Poor, N. Y. Y. C., 
through the office of Stanley M. Seaman, 220 
Broadway, New York. She is 89ft. 6in. over 
all, 57ft. waterline, 16ft. 6in. beam, 11ft. 6in. draft, 
built of bronze by Lawley & Sons, 1902. She 
has_ always been a familiar figure as a racer and 
cruiser. Her new. owner contemplates an ex¬ 
tended eastern cruise this summer. She is now 
laid up at New London, Conn., where fitting out 
will be started early in the season. In her rac¬ 
ing this year, she won ten out of sixteen races 
from Effort. 
Mr. Morgan Barney has secured an order to 
design for a New York yachtsman a power boat 
90ft. over all. The yacht will be built at Port 
Jefferson by Messrs. Baylies & Son. 
Motor Boat Race from Miami to Nassau. 
The plan of holding a motor boat race from 
Miami to Nassau is about completed and the 
race will be started on Feb. 8, or after the 
events to be held for racing and cruising motor 
boats at Palm Beach at the end of January. 
The Governor of -the Bahamas, Sir William 
Gray-Wilson, has taken a keen interest in the 
proposed race, while the United States arrange¬ 
ments are in the hands of Mayor John Sewell, 
of Miami, and a citizens’ committee which will 
work in conjunction with the Biscayne Y. C. and 
the Miami Motoring Association. The pro¬ 
posed course, 160 statute miles, was laid out by 
the representatives of Nassau and Miami, as¬ 
sisted by Captain White, of the steamer Miami, 
which runs between Miami and Nassau during 
the winter. 
A fast steamer has been secured to take care 
of any contestant that meet with an accident. 
Negotiations were opened with the Navy De¬ 
partment looking toward furnishing a gunboat 
for the purpose. The request has been granted 
and a suitable vessel will be available for the 
duty required. 
It is expected that some of the boats in the 
Palm Beach carnival will be available for the 
race, the prize will be a trophy offered by Sir 
William Gray-Wilson. The Nassau Yacht and 
Motor Club is much interested in the contest 
and will give races on its conclusion at Nassau, 
where the waters are suitable for fast motor 
boating. 
Yachts in Winter Quarters. 
The following yachts are laid up at Morse’s, 
South Brooklyn, and are being overhauled: 
The steam yacht Niagara, Mr. Howard Gould, 
N. Y. Y. C., is receiving necessary repairs, and 
alterations are being made in her machinery. 
The Niagara upon the completion of the work 
ordered will sail for southern waters, where', 
with the steam yacht Niagara IV., also owned 
by Mr. Gould, she will cruise the balance of 
the winter. 
The steam yacht Diana, ex-Delaware, Mr. C. 
Ledyard Blair, N. Y. Y. C., is being given a 
new house and new shelter deck. Other repairs 
are being made throughout the vessel. 
The steam yacht Alvina, Mr. Alexander S. 
Cochran, N. Y. Y. G., is having a general over¬ 
hauling. 
The auxiliary schooner yacht Comanche is 
being given part of a new deck and a new 
stern. • 
The yawl Taormina is being changed below 
decks and general repairs are being made. 
The steam yacht Yacona, Mr. Henry Clay 
Pierce, N. Y. Y. C., is being overhauled. 
The auxiliary schooner yacht Intrepid, Mr. 
Lloyd Phoenix, N. Y. Y. C., is receiving repairs. 
Manhasset Bay Y. C. 
The annual meeting date of the Manhasset Bay 
Y. C. has been changed from Jan. 1 to Jan 2, 
1907. At this meeting the election of officers will 
take place. The ticket that has been prepared 
by the nominating committee is as follows: 
Com., Alphonse H. Alker, steamer Florence; 
Vice-Corn., Henry L. Maxwell, sloop. Yankee; 
Rear-Corn., Charles M. Gould, power cruiser 
Columbine; Sec’y, Frederick A. Hill; Treas., 
James L. Laidlaw; Meas., William Gardner; 
Trustees, Class of 1907, Clarence H. Robbins; 
class of 1909, Payne Whitney and Ashton C. 
Clarkson. 
Mr.. Edward M. MacLellan, who has served 
the club so well for many years, is unable to 
serve longer in his old capacity by reason of 
business engagements which will take his time. 
Col. Frederick A. Hill, long the treasurer of the 
club, becomes now secretary and Mr. James L. 
Laidlaw takes the position of treasurer. 
Commodore Alker remains the commodore of 
the club he has served so well. Altogether the 
ticket contains the name of men long associated 
with yachting and also prominent in active busi¬ 
ness life.
