tage. It is a severe strain on a skipper in a 
race of this kind. Wringe was the skipper of 
the Shamrock and finally after 90 minutes of 
close, hard work Barr succeeded in getting the 
Reliance clear of Shamrock, and after that she 
increased her lead every minute. Wringe while 
in this country had been dined and feted and he 
was not in condition for such a hard race. The 
strain told on him and Barr was better able to 
stand it. 
His skill as a navigator was wonderful. No 
matter how thick a fog might shut down Barr 
could always find his way to the marks and 
home and he was so accurate that his skill be- 
came almost proverbial. Once when sailing the 
Columbia off Newport a thick fog shut down 
and screened everything. Some skippers quit 
the race and made for home. A steamer with 
the reporters on board was close to the Colum¬ 
bia and the skipper remarked, “If you wish 
to keep on I am going to stay by the Colum- 
bia. He did. Columbia picked up the second 
mark just as if it had been in Barr’s eye all 
the time and then heading for home made the 
finish line as accurately as if the whole course 
had been in view. This skill was again demon¬ 
strated in the last race sailed by Reliance and 
Shamrock III. The fog closed down at the 
outer mark. Vessels could be heard all round 
1 heir skippers felt their way back to the light- 
slnp The Shamrock missed the line and could 
not finish. Those who had gathered at the fin¬ 
ish suddenly heard a flapping like the sound of 
some big yacht’s sail. The next instant a ghost¬ 
like form was seen rising out of the fog and 
then Reliance sailing fast, for there was a nice 
breeze, crossed the line a winner and was sa¬ 
luted. She had sailed a perfect course and Barr 
had in spite of tide and wind brought her home 
to the finish accurately. 
Motor Boating. 
Whaleboat Cruiser Cachalot. 
Theodore K. Hastings, a member of the 
Sheepshead Bay Y. C., who last year had a 
motor dory in which he did some long cruising, 
is this year having a whale boat cruiser built 
by the J. M. Casey Company, of New Bedford. 
The model shows a boat of good, wholesome 
type and with fair accommodation. The dimen¬ 
sions are length over-all, 30 feet; extreme beam, 
9 feet. There is three feet of deck aft, a cock¬ 
pit 8 feet long, a cabin 19 feet long with head 
room 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet. This cabin is 
divided into a stateroom at the forward end 
which has two transom berths, a cabin with berth 
to sleep for four, a toilet and a galley. The 
saloon and cabin will have locker under the 
transoms on the port side and a bath on the 
starboard side under the transoms. The interior 
, finl jh will be mahogany and white enamel and 
leaded glass doors will separate the engine room 
and galley from the cabin. The galley will have 
an alcohol stove, dish locker and dresser and 
the usual fittings. 
T he boat is to be staunchly constructed. The 
keel is of native oak, sided 4 inches and started 
from 6 inches deep forward increasing in depth 
clear to the stern. The timbers are of oak V/ 2 
by 114 inches and spaced 10 inches on centers. 
2 he planking is 7/ 8 inch white cedar. The 
floor timbers along each side of frame are 1 1/3 
inches selected oak. The stem and stern are 
of selected oak moulded. The raised deck and 
combing are of mahogany. 
This yacht, which is to be named Cachalot, 
will be driven by a 14 horsepower jump spark 
heavy duty Stanley motor, fitted with Stanley 
reverse gear and Thermax silencer. All con¬ 
trols are to be at the wheel. 
Rules for Bermuda Race. 
The members of the Motor Boat Club of 
America have great hopes that the next race to 
Bermuda, which will be started June 17, will be 
the most successful in the history of that event 
Thomas Fleming Day thinks there will be at 
least six starters, and James Craig says that two 
new boats he knows of will take part in the 
contest. 
The regatta committee will shortly issue the 
conditions to govern this race and announce the 
prize list, which is a liberal one. 
The sub committee appointed to consider 
changes in the rules governing the motor boat 
race from this port to Bermuda has gone thor¬ 
oughly into the questions raised and has made 
its report. This report, which is signed by Henry 
R. ( Sutphen and James Craig, says: 
The racing rules, time allowances, endurance 
tables, etc., which include the revised horsepower
