FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
American and English designers that the cup 
will be won by a boat showing an average speed 
of 50 nautical miles an hour. Theoretically the 
more exaggerated type of hydroplanes will leg 
off even sixty miles, but at all events the series 
undoubtedly will be the greatest the motor boat 
world has ever known. 
The six defenders now being built will meet 
in the elimination trial races off Huntington on 
Aug. 16, 17 and 19 to select the team to race 
against the British challengers. The boats mak¬ 
ing the fastest time and exhibiting superior 
mechanical equipment will be selected because 
it is appreciated that the English purpose send¬ 
ing to this country the fastest craft that money 
and brains can provide. Maple Leaf III., 
owned by E. Mackay Edgar, one of the English 
aspirants, has already rattled off 57 statute miles 
an hour. She is a Thornycroft hydroplane fitted 
with two 12-cylinder engines of 760 horsepower. 
Other events that will be handled by the 
Motor Boat Club of America are the races for 
the National Motor Boat Carnival, beginning on 
Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4. The club will 
also have charge of the Marblehead race for 
motor boats, which will be started from Hunt¬ 
ington on July 14. 
Much time is being given by Commodore 
Melville and his associates to the forthcoming 
Bermuda race, which will be started from a 
point on Gravesend Bay, New York Harbor, 
on Saturday, June 17, for the Bermuda challenge 
cup and a cash prize of $1,000 donated by James 
Gordon Bennett. 
Several handsome trophies will be presented 
by the Motor Boat Club of America to be con¬ 
tested for in different parts of the country for 
the purpose of stimulating interest in motor 
boat racing and also for the building of new 
gasolene driven craft.

New 99-Foot Cruiser. 
An order has just been placed by Cox & 
Stevens with the Nilson Yacht Building Com¬ 
pany, of Baltimore, for a large twin-screw 
cruising mo'tor boat for a member of the New 
York Y. C., which will be called North Wind 
and will be delivered to her owner in the fall, 
when she will immediately proceed to southern 
waters. 
The dimensions of the boat are: Length over 
all, 99 feet; beam, 17 feet; draft, 4 feet; these 
being the limiting dimensions of the Erie Canal 
locks, so that the owner will be able to take 
the vessel to the Lakes as well as along the 
Atlantic Coast. 
In appearance this vessel is of the small 
steamer type, having the straight stem, elliptical 
stern, with the body of the boat carried all the 
way aft at the waterline to secure the maximum 
running length and increase the accommodation 
space as well. The vessel has a very full deck 
line associated with a pronounced flare fo’rward, 
thus giving the maximum amount of deck room 
and at the same time improving the seaworthy 
qualities of the boat. While on account of her 
limited draft the sections amidships are rather 
flat, the lines show the vessel with a good clean 
run and sufficiently sharp forward sections to 
make her comfortable and easy in seaway. 
The vessel is flush deck throughout, has a 
large deck house forward, a stack for ventila¬ 
tion and engine exhaust amidships, and two pole 
masts on which sails can be set if desired. 
The construction of this vessel is to be of the 
very best throughout, the keel, keelson, dead- 
wood and frames being of white oak, the plank¬ 
ing of yellow pine carefully selected, the deck 
of clear white pine, the deck house, companion- 
ways and skylights, plank shear, rails and other 
deck bright work to be of teak. All the fasten¬ 
ings are of copper or composition. The in¬ 
terior of the dining saloon is to be finished in 
paneled mahogany, and the finish in the 
owner’s quarters below will be Colonial, the 
doors, furniture and trim being of mahogany, 
and the bulkheads and sides of the vessel, as 
well as the deck overhead being finished in 
white paint. 
The motive power consists of two ioo-horse- 
power six-cylinder Standard engines, of the air¬ 
starting, reversible type, which are placed in a 
compartment separated from the rest of the 
vessel by watertight steel bulkheads. This com¬ 
partment also contains the usual tanks, which 
are of copper, three in number, of a total capac¬ 
ity of 1,500 gallons; an electric light generator, 
driven by an independent gasolene engine of 
sufficient capacity to light the entire vessel and 
run a powerful searchlight, this engine also 
driving an air compressor and bilge pump. In 
the engine compartment are also the quarters 
for two engineers. 
The owner’s and guests’ quarters are aft of 
the engine space. The owner’s stateroom is the 
full width of the vessel, directly aft of the gaso¬ 
lene tanks, and contains a built-in double bed 
on port side and extension sofa that may be 
used as a bed on the starboard side. This room 
of the owner’s connects directly with a bath¬ 
room on the starboard side of the ship. On 
the port side of this passage, next the owner’s 
room, is a small single stateroom, and abaft 
this on the port side another bathroom. At 
the aft end of this passage are arranged two 
single staterooms, each having a built-in berth. 
The extreme after portion of this space is oc¬ 
cupied by a double stateroom, full width of the 
ship, having a built-in berth on each side. On 
the starboard side of the lobby is a single state¬ 
room, with built-in berth. 
The deck house contains at its forward end 
a large dining saloon capable of accommodating 
fourteen guests. The pantry is at the after end 
of the dining room, on the port side, communi¬ 
cating with it and having a dumbwaiter running 
down to the galley which is below. On the 
starboard side of the deck house, opposite the 
pantry, is a room for the sailing master. The 
galley is below, forward of the engine space, ex¬ 
tending the full width of the vessel.
