rules is to make the measurer’s report final only 
so far as the contestants are concerned, that it 
is the duty of the committee before deciding a 
protest to assure itself that the measurer’s re¬ 
port is made in accordance with the racing 
rules and is based upon measurements pre¬ 
scribed by the rules, that the committee has the 
right to require the measurer to submit evi¬ 
dence that the measurements called for have 
been made in accordance with the rules made 
and adopted for his and its guidance. 
“The committee finds and rules, first, that the 
committee has jurisdiction and the right to as¬ 
sure itself that the measurements have been 
made in accordance with the rules; second, that 
the protests against Joyant and Corinthian are 
sustained, and that the protests against Wind¬ 
ward, Cara Mia, Timandra, Amoret and Sayo- 
nara are not sustained. 
“As to the entire match, the committee rules 
and finds that the match be and is hereby de¬ 
clared won by Cara Mia, of the American 
Y. C.” 
This report is signed by Mr. Charles Lane 
Poor and Mr. .ZEmilius Jarvis. 
MR. SPARKMAN DOES NOT AGREE. 
Mr. James D. Sparkman in his report de¬ 
clares for Joyant as the winner of the match. 
His report is as follows: 
“I regret that I do not find it possible to 
concur in the report of the majority of the Man- 
hasset cup committee, for the following reasons: 
“1. I believe that Joyant and Corinthian 
measure fairly under the rule. 
“2. I also believe that it is the duty of the 
committee to adhere strictly to the letter of the 
rule and that an opinion as to what the spirit 
or intent may be under a ‘broad interpretation’ 
is not within their province. 
“3. I believe that the measurer has done his 
full duty and measured the boats according to 
the rule. 
“4. The committee, therefore, has no option 
but to accept the certificates of measurement 
issued by him, and as he certifies that Joyant 
measures fairly within the class limit she should, 
in my opinion, be declared the winner of the 
match.” 
New Government Craft. 
The accompanying plans are from the board 
of J. Murray Watts, naval architect, Philadel¬ 
phia, and show a boat now being designed for 
the Government in connection with the enforce¬ 
ment of the navigation laws. The requirements 
are for a boat with good speed, moderate draft, 
seaworthy qualities and comfortable quarters for 
two officers and three men. There had also to 
be accommodations for officers on special dtuy, 
so a spare stateroom was laid out below and 
two Pullman berths located in the deck saloon. 
The outboard of this boat shows a very clean 
cut looking hull of the revenue cutter type with 
a good big bridge, low house and powerful fun¬ 
nel. This funnel ventilates the engine room and 
galley, and takes the smoke pipe of the galley 
and the mufflers of the motor. 
There will be a light signal mast located aft 
and a one-pounder gun mounted on the forward 
deck. Two power tenders will be carried; one 
a working boat for the crew and the other a 
teak finished, high speed power tender for the 
officers. 
The dimensions of this boat are 65 feet over¬ 
all, 12 feet 6 inches beam and 4 feet draft. A 
60 horsepower 6-cylinder engine of a reliable 
medium speed type will drive this boat fourteen 
miles an hour. 
She has a good sized deck saloon in which 
meals can be served and in which there are also 
two Pullman berths which can be of use should 
there be a large party aboard. The galley has 
steps leading directly to this saloon, and this 
galley has an unusual amount of storage room. 
The crew’s quarters are forward, and in them 
is a wide athwartship bunk and two pipe bunks 
besides transom lockers and a toilet. 
The officers’ quarters are aft and consist of 
one double and one single stateroom and a com¬ 
municating toilet room. In the double stateroom 
there is a desk for the officer in charge to make 
out his reports on. 
The deck space is very large. The bridge deck 
makes a good p'ace to navigate the boat, and 
from here as well as in the deck house the en¬ 
gine can be controlled and the boat steered. 
There is a 2,000 candle power arc searchlight 
shown, run by an electric lighting plant in the 
engine room.
