Crescent Club thought that the rules should be 
amended so that in some way power should be 
limited and would not handle the race again 
until some such change had been made. The 
Motor Boat Club of America will start the race 
this year from off the Chateau des Beaux Arts, 
and it is said the rules will be changed so that 
high power boats will not be eligible. This 
race is to start on July 14. 
Sparks. 
A racing launch, which is expected to be one 
of the fastest afloat, has been designed by H. E. 
Dantzenbecher, naval architect. The length over 
all of this boat is 40ft. sin., and with her twin 
6-cylinder engines, is expected to make 40 miles 
per hour. The hull is of special construction, 
and this, as well as the engines, which are all of 
Mr. Dantzenbecher’s design, are expected to be 
marvels of lightness and strength. Each en¬ 
gine will give over 200 horse-power and weigh 
only i25olbs. This boat, when finished, should 
make a stir. She is to be entered in the inter¬ 
national race for the Harmsworth trophy and 
the American Power Boat Association gold 
challenge cup on the St. Lawrence River. 
Harry Rusmussen, of Essington, is preparing 
to launch the glass cabin launch of Mr. Brets- 
ford, of Woodbury, N. J. Rusmussen is also 
building a 24ft. gas launch for Mr. Chambers, 
of Ocean City, and a 40-footer for Mr. Schaffer, 
of this city.

New 25-Footers. 
Two 25-foot motor boats are building by J. 
E. Vanderslice at Camden for members of the 
Ocean City Y. C., and others, it is said, will 
follow. The plans were drawn by J. W. Hussey 
and the boats should be seaworthy and have 
some speed. The freeboard is greater by about 
four inches than is usual amidships and the 
flare forward gives quick lifting where the sea 
runs high. The reduced deck crown gives a 
greater and larger appearance and is permitted 
by the unusual low engine position. 
The motive power is a four-cycle Sterling en¬ 
gine under hatches forward of the bulkhead, 
with exhaust led aft through seamless and very 
thin copper tube, water-cooled and with spark 
throttle and reverse lever controls at bulkhead, 
which enables the owner to operate the boat 
with the ease and comfort of an automobile. 
The cockpit is ample, with accommodations 
for four on the two permanent seats and two 
more in chairs. 
The construction is carvel built, light but ef¬ 
fective, and every timber and carline adds to 
the hull stiffness. The frame spacing of five 
inches insures a perfectly tight hull under 
stress. The finish is in mahogany and a 
special feature is an inlaid cockpit floor of two- 
inch white pine and one-eighth inch mahogany 
alternating. The decks are canvased with canor 
finish and fittings polished brass. The rudder 
and strut are especially designed for minimum 
resistance and maximum rigidity. 
This type of boat forming a one-design class 
bids fair to add greatly to the interest of motor 
boat racing. A speed of 22^ miles an hour is 
expected.

Weather Spoiled the Paint. 
The weather has been very tantalizing to 
those owners who are fond of early outings on 
the water and who like to have their boats in 
commission this month. There have been some 
fine warm days and inany wet and cold ones. 
One enthusiast a few weeks ago thawed out 
with the warmth, purchased $4 worth of paint 
and spent the day painting his boat. She looked 
fine when he got through at sundown and he 
figured on getting the boat overboard the next 
day. That night there was a snow and sleet 
storm and the craft looked as if it had 
weathered several winter storms the next day. 
The paint was all washed off. He waited then 
until last week and with $2 worth of paint he 
worked again and had the deck yellow, the top 
sides white and the underbody a bronze red. 
It rained that night as if it had never rained be¬ 
fore and was making up for lost time. The 
next day the yellow had run down to the white 
and the white was smeared over the red. “Two 
days’ hard work and $6 gone to waste,” said the 
enthusiast. “Now, I’ll wait until July.”

The most practical book for the man or boy who 
owns or plans to own a small power boat. It is motor 
launch and engine information boiled down and sim¬ 
plified for busy people, and every line of it is valuable.

The Fitting Out Season. 
Winter lingers and the owners of small craft 
who are fond of fitting them out early and do¬ 
ing the work themselves are fretting. It is 
useless to attempt to get a boat ready for the 
season until the weather is warm and settled, 
and those who start in early often find that 
they have to do the work all over again. The 
Yachtsman in its last edition tells what should 
be done to get a motor boat in shape. These 
fitting out yarns are told almost every season, 
but while they often tell what is generally 
known they fill in time and often they give new 
wrinkles to the veteran and lots of good in¬ 
struction to the novice. 
Any disquisition upon the subject of fitting 
out a motor vessel must naturally be of a char¬ 
acter to appeal to the man who is accustomed

The Marblehead Race. 
The Motor Boat Club will handle the Marble¬ 
head race this year. For two seasons this event 
has been managed by the Crescent Athletic Club, 
and the prizes donated by Commodore F. M. 
Wilson have been the most handsome offered 
for motorboat racing. Two years ago there 
were twelve starters and Elmo II. won. That 
year a boat named Kitcinque, really not a cruis¬ 
ing boat, but technically within the rules, 
started and was burned off Gay Head. That 
boat did much harm to motor boating. Last 
year another boat. Blue Peter V., was built. 
She had a 6o-horsepower motor, and although 
she made fast time and finished first, she was 
beaten by Elmo II. on corrected time. The
