FOREST AND STREAM. 
625 
period of prosperity and productivity if the in¬ 
teresting proposition of the Senator from Sara¬ 
toga should become law. On the other hand 
it is not incredible that a few hundred owners 
of motor boats might be willing to contribute 
to a fund to be used either for legal services or 
for campaign expenses if they had the slightest 
reason to believe they could thus legitimately 
influence the legislative future of this sub¬ 
aqueous project.” 
When the bill was considered in committee. 
Senator Stillwell, of The Bronx, said he had 
numerous leters in opposition. Senator Cobb, 
who represents the St. Lawrence River district, 
said the bill affected his district more than any 
other, and that there was opposition to it. 
Senator Wainwright said that many residents 
of Long Island Sound had written him in favor 
of the bill. Senator Brackett said he got the 
bill from Danforth E. Ainsworth, who has a 
summer home on the St. Lawrence River, who 
insisted that the operation of those motor boats 
without mufflers rendered life in the river al¬ 
most unendurable. 
Finally the bill was laid aside and Senator 
Brackett said if the opposition desired a hear¬ 
ing on the bill in committee they could have it. 
Launch of Ethel May II. 
The twin-screw yacht designed and built by 
the Electric Launch Company, at Bayonne, for 
Albert E. Smith, of New York, was successfully 
launched last Tuesday morning. The yacht was 
christened Ethel May II. by Miss Ethel Smith, 
daughter of the owner. 
This yacht is 98 feet over all, 16 feet beam and 
is a flush deck, twin-screw motor yacht. The 
hull is heavily constructed of wood, oak framed 
and yellow pine planked, copper fastened. The 
cabin accommodations are very spacious, giv¬ 
ing full width double stateroom for the owner, 
one main saloon, three single staterooms and 
owner’s bath and lavatory. The dining saloon 
is on the forward deck, adjacent to the galley, 
which is below the main deck. The crew’s 
quarters are forward. 
The power equipment consists of two 75- 
horsepower, 6-cylinder gasolene engines, which 
are placed amidships. The tanks will hold 
1,000 gallons of gasolene. 
Ethel May II. is a sister to Paula, which is 
being built at Bayonne for J. Sutar Blackton. 
Ethel May II. will be in commission in a few 
weeks, and Paula will be launched in a few days. 
Among those at the launching were Mr. and 
Mrs. Albert E. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. Stuart 
Blackton, Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Sutphen, Mr. 
and Mrs. E. B. Conrad, Mr. and Mrs. E. A.

Ernest M. Stires, Maurice Barnett, Isaac L. 
Rice, Gen. G. E. P. Howard, Thomas Fleming 
Day, Lewis Nixon and J. W. Husted. 
Several handsome yachts are being built at 
the yards of the Electric Launch Works, at 
Bayonne, which will be out early in the season. 
The latest to be laid down is a motor boat of 
the cruising type for Henry F. Lippitt, of Rhode 
Island, and a member of the New York Y. C. 
This yachts is to be 93 feet long, 14 feet beam 
and 4 feet draft, and has been designed by Wil¬ 
liam Gardner. The construction is to be of 
the very highest grade, light, but substantial. 
The lines are very fine,- affording high speed for 
a boat of this size. The hull is to be double 
planked, copper fastened throughout. The deck 
house will be finished in selected mahogany, the 
interior finish will be enamel and mahogany. 
This vessel will be fitted with two ioo-horse- 
power Craig motors, which will give a speed of 
15 miles an hour. Mr Lippitt owns the racing 
sloop Weetamoe, and the new yacht is to be a 
tender for the sloop, taking the place of Ailsa 
Craig. 
F. G. C. Lyon, of the New York Y. C.. has 
placed an order with this firm of builders for a 
61-foot Elco motor boat for use on Long Island 
Sound. This yacht, which will be named Bet- 
tina. will be 61 feet long, 10 feet beam and 3 feet 
draft. The construction will be high grade, the 
keel and frames will be of oak. the planking 
cedar. The owner’s quarters will be finished in 
white enamel with mahogany trim, the engine 
room is selected ash and the deck fitting of 
mahogany. The power equipment will be a 40- 
horsepower 6-cylinder Standard motor, which 
will drive the yacht 13 miles an hour. 
Accommodation is provided for four in the 
owner’s quarters in comfortable berths; two in 
the engine room, with an open cockpit aft to 
accommodate a large company in wicker chairs. 
The yacht will be equipped with a signal spar 
and stack for ventilation of engine room. 
The owner intends to use the boat off Sands 
Point on Long Island Sound for principally day 
service, with occasional week-end cruises. Most 
comfortable cabin accommodations are provided 
for day service. Bettina will be enrolled in the 
New York Y. C. She is to be ready for delivery 
June 15. 
Adolphus Busch, of St. Louis, has purchased 
Elco de Luxe, 54 foot motor yacht, which was 
exhibited at the New York Motor Boat Show. 
Mr. Busch will use his boat at Otsego Lake, 
near Cooperstown, New York. Elco de Luxe 
is a fast day cruiser of the highest grade of con¬ 
struction, equipment and finish. The power 
plant consists of a 6o-horsepower, 6-cylinder air¬ 
starting Standard engine. With this power the 
boat develops in excess of 15 miles per hour. 
Mr. Busch has called his boat Chief Uncas, and 
will take delivery of the yacht on May 1. 
Isaac Guggenheim, of New York, has pur¬ 
chased the 40-foot Elco cruiser, which was ex¬ 
hibited at the Motor Boat Show, for use on 
Long Island Sound at Port Washington. Mr. 
Guggenheim intends to use his boat for day 
service and short cruises, accommodation being 
provided for sleeping five comfortably on board. 
This boat is designed with the best of seaworthy 
qualities. It was considered by experts at the 
recent show to be a model 40-foot cruiser. The 
construction is of the highest grade throughout 
and the boat is equipped with a 20-horsepower, 
4-cylinder Standard engine. 
General G. E. P. Howard, of South Orange, 
N. J.. has placed an order for a 45-foot Elco 
raised-deck cruiser for use on the coast of 
Maine. The plan of General Howard’s boat is 
similar to the 40-foot Elco cruiser, but with in¬ 
creased length and beam. The power plant con¬ 
sists of a 25-horsepower, 4-cylinder gasolene 
engine, which will give the boat a speed of 11 
miles per hour. The interior arrangement is 
the same as the 40-foot cruiser with comfortable 
sleeping accommodations for five. 
Sparks. 
The Buffalo Launch Club, the Motor Boat 
Club of Buffalo and the Cleveland Power Boat 
Club, at a conference recently, formed the 
nucleus of what is to be known as the Great 
Lakes Power Boat Association. 
The 65-foot steam yacht building at Stearns 
& McKay for J. F. Cockburn, of Quebec, the 
launch from design by Cox & Stevens, and the 
Weld experimental launch for the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology are completed, except 
for installing the power plants.

Lawley’s from designs by Fred Lawley for 
William M. Levering was launched last week. 
This yacht has a ioo-horsepower motor. 
John C. King’s 98-foot cruiser Topsy showed 
a speed of nearly 15 miles an hour on her trial. 
William Erb, of Philadelphia, has purchased 
the cruising motor boat Casino, built last year 
for Richard Hutchinson. 
W. J. Forbes’ 22-foot speed boat Bunny, 
which is credited with 17 miles an hour, made 
last year, is having a 30-horsepower motor put 
in to replace the 15-horsepower motor, and it 
is expected that she will make 20 miles an hour. 
C. H. Dwinnell has placed an order with the 
Atlantic Company for a 23-foot Gurnet dory, to 
be equipped with a 5-horsepower special engine. 
The big power boat built some years ago for 
Gen. Charles B. Brayton, of Providence, is now 
the property of Lewis Herreshoff, who intends 
to run it as a ferry boat between Bristol and 
Prudence Island.
