miles an hour for the Sovereign will be shown 
without difficulty. , x . 
The new yacht will have four smoke stacks, 
giving her the distinctiveness in this respect that 
no other pleasure craft in this country pos¬ 
sesses, and in other ways her appearance will 
attract much attention. . 
She has a tobin bronze keel. The stern is ot 
steel with tobin bronze bushings and the stern 
post is of a steel plate, flanged and fitted to the 
shape of the counter. The frames are of galvan¬ 
ized steel, the floors of steel plate, the garboard 
strake and bilge plating of tobin bronze. The 
sheerstrake and side plating of steel, as are on 
the keelsons, stringer plates, breast hook, deck 
beams, bulkheads, side stringers, butt straps 
engine foundations, etc. _ The machinery will 
consist of two Seabury triple expansion engines 
of the latest design and the steam will be gen¬ 
erated by two Seabury watertube boilers. The 
Sovereign will be fitted with steam steering ap¬ 
paratus and will be handled from the bridge on 
the top of the forward deck house. 
This deck house will be of mahogany and will 
be used as a dining room. The after deck will 
be substantially the same as the forward house 
and will be used as a social hall. The officers 
and the crew’s quarters and the galley forward, 
the latter being connected with the dining room 
by a dumbwaiter. 
The owner’s spacious stateroom is aft and 
connects with a bathroom of liberal size. The 
guest’s stateroom and toilet room will be of 
comfortable and convenient dimensions, and the 
saloon below deck will be a model apartment. 
All the rooms in the yacht will be handsomely 
finished and appropriately furnished. . . 
The yacht will be lighted with electricity. 
Light and ventilation throughout the vessel have 
been given special attention by the designer. 
Every modern improvement and every con¬ 
venience that years of experience have sug¬ 
gested will be embodied in the construction of 
the hull and machinery and the fittings of the 
new Sovereign.

Eastern Y. C. Plans. 
With no international yacht race in these 
waters on their hands this year the officers of 
the Eastern Y. C. have planned for consider¬ 
able sport off the New England coast during 
the summer. The club’s yachting range will ex¬ 
tend from New London to Winter Harbor and 
will include two ocean races, two open races 
off Marblehead, the annual regatta and the an¬ 
nual cruise. 
The first ocean race was contingent as to its 
date upon the Harvard and Yale rowing re¬ 
gatta at New London, but that latter event hav¬ 
ing been fixed for June 30, the former event 
will follow the next day. In this first yachting 
event it is expected that the big schooners, 
three of which are new this season, will furnish 
a lively race for the Clark cup, while the larger 
sloops and yawls will also have a good contest 
for the Ramrill and Armour cups. This ocean 
race will start from London and finish at 
Marblehead, while the same day the smaller 
yachts of Massachusetts Bay will be enter- 
tained with an open regatta off Marblehead 
Rock. With the customary southwester off the 
elbow of New England, the finish is expected 
at Marblehead Rock some time on July 2. 
The annual regatta will be held on Inde¬ 
pendence Day, and three days later the fleet 
will continue on to the eastward on the initial 
run of the cruise to Portland. The fleet will, as 
usual, make Penobscot Bay the principal scene 
of its activities, but the visit to Burnt Coat 
Harbor, far down on Swans Island, will be 
omitted, while instead the yachts will race up 
the bay around North Islesboro and then down 
Egg Maggin Beach to Billings Cove, halfway 
down the beach. Bartlett’s Cove will be visited 
and then the yachts will run around into Winter 
Harbor, to the eastward of Bar Harbor. The 
cruise will end at Bar Harbor on July 15 with 
the annual banquet, and two days later will 
come the second ocean race for the Norman 
cups. 
The program for the season follows: 
Friday, June 30—Ocean race, New London to 
Marblehead, for special cups presented by Com¬ 
modore Clark, Captain Rumrill and Captain 
Armour. 
Saturday, July 1—Special open regatta for 
yachts not over 46 feet rating. 
Tuesday, July 4—Annual regatta, 11 A. M., 
racing trim.

land lightship to Peak’s Island, 85 miles.

To Measure New York Y. C. Vessels. 
Professor William Hallock, the measurer 
of the New York Y. C., has issued the follow¬ 
ing notice: 
“Weather permitting, I shall be prepared to 
measure yachts on the following dates at the 
places specified: Wednesday, May 10, City 
Island, Jacob’s Yard; Wednesday, May 17, City 
Island, Jacob’s Yard; Tuesday, May 23, Larch-

Jacob’s Yard; Thursday, June 1, Larchmont Y. 
C.; Friday, June 2, City Island, Jacobs Yard; 
also at other times and places by appointment. 
“Owners will confer a great favor upon the 
measurer by informing him as far ahead as pos¬ 
sible of the date, place and hour desired for 
measurement. 
“Full details concerning any yacht will be 
furnished the owner or designer upon applica¬ 
tion, so far as they are on record in the meas¬ 
urer’s office.”

Motor Boat Club Affairs. 
The Motor Boat Club of America will this 
year control nearly all the first-class racing in 
eastern waters of motor boats. There will be 
some other races under the auspices of other 
clubs, but the Motor Boat Club’s program is 
one full of interest. Chief among these will be 
the contest for the Harmsworth trophy, better 
known as the British International cup, which 
will take place on Huntington Bay, Long Island, 
on July 24, 25 and 26. 
The deed of gift, as amended last year fol¬ 
lowing the race off Larchmont, in which Dixie 
II. successfully defended the cup for the Motor 
Boat Club of America, provides for three races, 
but in the event of a boat failing to win three 
events other races shall be run until the trophy 
is decided. 
Members of the Motor Club of America say 
that more than $300,000 will be spent this year 
in defending the cup against the team of three 
English challengers. Six prospective defenders 
are being built at the present time, the majority 
of which will be of the semi-displacement type 
of hull, but J. Stuart Blackton, Rear-Commo¬ 
dore of the Motor Boat Club of America, is 
having a 36-foot Fauher hydroplane built by 
the Electric Launch Company of Bayonne, N. J. 
The Harmsworth trophy race is considered 
the blue ribbon event of motor boat racing on 
both sides of the Atlantic. The indications are 
that the fastest time ever made by a gasolene 
driven craft in competition will be attained dur¬ 
ing the Huntington series. It is the opinion of
