architecture and marine engineering at Massa¬ 
chusetts Institute of Technology, and will be 
competent to measure yachts either under the 
universal rule, or under any other rule a club 
may desire. There will be no expense to any 
club directly, he will be paid by the owners of 
boats measured, as is the present method of re¬ 
muneration for measurers, and it is intended 
that the present fees shall be maintained. 
Some adjustment of fees may be necessary, be¬ 
cause the present fees are not all alike in dif- 
frent clubs for different sizes of boats. 
The move of the Eastern Y. C. is the first at¬ 
tempt made to induce Massachusetts Bay clubs 
to take concerted action. 
Yacht Sales and Charters. 
There has been considerable activity recently 
in the yachting world, as shown by the fol¬ 
lowing sales and charters that have been made 
by Messrs. Tams, Lemoine & Crane: 
The 90-foot houseboat Ednada III. was char¬ 
tered to Sherwood Aldrich for a cruise in 
Chesapeake Bay. This boat, one of the modern 
houseboats, is equipped with two 6o-horsepower 
Craig motors. She is owned by Mr. Geo. C. 
Thomas, Jr., of Philadelphia. 
Mr. W. Earl Dodge chartered the same boat 
for a cruise in Florida waters at the completion 
of Mr. Aldrich’s charter. She will be used as a 
tender to the racing hydroplane which Messrs. 
Tams, Lemoine & Crane have designed and just 
finished building for Mr. Dodge. This boat is 
to race in Florida this winter. 
The twin-screw houseboat Lanai, 80 feet, 
equipped with two 25-horsepower Craig motors, 
has just been sold by Tams, Lemoine & Crane 
to Commodore A. C. James, and is now on her 
way south. Mr. James intends cruising in 
Florida waters with the boat. Numerous altera¬ 
tions were made in her under Tam, Lemoine 
& Crane’s supervision. 
The steam auxiliary brigantine Aloha has been 
sold by Commordore James to a syndicate of 
pronjinent yachtsmen, and is now undergoing 
extensive alterations, under the same firm's 
supervision. 
The iio-foot motor yacht Heather 11 . has 
been chartered for a cruise in West Indian 
waters to Mr. McCutcheon, of Chicago. She 
will leave Miami in a few days. 
Mr. August Belmont, Jr., has sold his run¬ 
about launch to Mr. C. E. Varney, of Indian¬ 
apolis, Ind., and she has recently been shipped 
to him. 
The iio-foot cruising motor yacht Cristina 
was sold by Mr. F. C. Fletcher to Mr. J. D. 
McKee, of Pittsburgh. Cristina is one of the 
best known of the larger motor cruisers. She is 
equipped with two 125-horsepower Standard 
motors. She is now at Norfolk and will pro¬ 
ceed in a few days for an extended cruise on the 
east and west coast of Florida. The boat has 
been renamed Esperanza. 
The 75-foot twin-screw motor yacht Akabordi 
has been sold by Mrs, John Nicholas Brown to 
Commodore Wm. H, Childs. She has been re¬ 
named Joyful. She will be the flagship of the 
Indian Harbor Y. C. next summer. 
The 125-foot houseboat Nirodha was sold for 
Mr. E. Childs to Mr. Hugh D. Auchincloss. 
This boat was extensively altered for Mr. 
Auchincloss and has recently been delivered to 
him, alterations having been done under Messrs. 
Tams, Lemoine & Crane’s supervision. She is 
now cruising in Elorida waters. 
Messrs. Tams. Lemoine & Crane’s designing 
department is exceptionally busy for this time 
of the year. Most of their activity is confined 
to the larger motor yachts and to the racing 
hydroplanes. There seems to be an unusual de¬ 
mand for the latter. They have several fast 
boats under construction, the details of which 
they at the moment are not prepared to give 
out. Good racing for next season, however, is 
already an assured thing. 
The advent of the new 20-foot class, which 
are being built from Messrs. Tam. Lemoine & 
Crane’s plans, and are being called Dixie 
Juniors, are already exciting a good deal of 
comment among motor boat racing enthusiasts. 
These boats are guaranteed 35 miles an hour.

able to carry full sail. The stabilizing arrange¬
