Hudson-Fulton Y. C. House. 
The Hudson-Fulton Y. C. is to have a house 
which will be built at the foot of 104th street 
on the Hudson River. Permission to erect this 
house has been obtained from the Park Depart¬ 
ment, and the plans have been approved by the 
architect for the Park Commissioners. 
The club house will be constructed on plans 
and specifications submitted by Frederic A. 
Brooks and will be very ornamental, giving 
ample facilities for all kinds of aquatic sports, 
and besides a large reception room a billiard 
and pool room. The house has been designed 
throughout to furnish a home both summer and 
winter for young men who delight in motor 
boating and sailing and kindred sports. 
The Hudson-Fulton Y. C. was organized to 
commemorate the achievements of Hendrik 
Hudson and Robert Fulton. Its articles of as¬ 
sociation being filed in September last on the 
300th anniversary, and its membership now is 
upward of 200. It is believed that the club 
house, connected by a foot bridge with River¬ 
side Park over the tracks, can be ready for 
occupancy within six weeks. Nearly half of the 
amount required to complete the house was sub¬ 
scribed at the last meeting of the club, which 
will issue bonds of $23 each, drawing 6 per cent, 
and paid off from a sinking fund provided. The 
entrance fee at this time is $10 and dues $12 
a year. It is expected, however, to increase the 
entrance fee to $25 on completion of the new 
club house. The club has winter quarters at 
Broadway and 108th street, where during the 
last winter there have been several billiard and 
pool tournaments. 
New England Association Races 
The annual power boat races of the New Eng¬ 
land Engine and Boat Association have become 
an institution. The policy of the organization 
in giving open races for the benefit of all New 
England power boat owners, irrespective of club 
affiliations, has met with enthusiastic support by 
boat owners. 
Therefore, it is expected that the races to be 
given by the association this year will have an 
entry list of unprecedented size. These races, 
which are open to power boats of not less than 
15 nor more than 45 feet over all, owned in New 
England, will be held Saturday, July 30, at Win¬ 
throp, and Saturday, Aug. 20, at Charles River 
basin. 
For the races the boats will be divided into 
six classes as follows: A, racers whose speed 
exceeds sixteen miles per hour; B, racers whose 
speed is between twelve and sixteen miles; C, 
cabin cruisers over 26 feet long; D, cabin cruisers 
under 28 feet; E, open boats whose speed is be¬ 
tween eight and twelve miles and F, open boats 
whose speed is between six and eight miles. The 
July 30 race is for classes A, C, D and E, and 
Aug. 20 race is for classes A, B, C, E and F. 
The races of both days will be started promptly 
at 2:55 p. M. 
Rating for classes A and B will be by the 1909 
rating rule of the American Power Boat Asso¬ 
ciation. Owners of other boats must make state¬ 
ment of speed of their boats in statute or nauti¬ 
cal miles per houf for handicap. Owners of 
boats starting in classes A and B must have their 
boats measured by Norman L. Skene. 
Entries should be made as soon as possible 
with the regatta committee of the association. 
Entry list closes two days before race. 
Two in Bermuda Race. 
Two yachts started in the race for motor boats 
from New York to ermuda last Saturday morn¬ 
ing. This was somewhat of a disappointment 
to the promoters of this race. The race to 
Havana seems to have given owners of these 
yachts all the racing they want for a time, and 
it is perhaps too much to expect owners to make 
two long journeys to and from Havana, and 
then to start off again on another long trip like 
that to Bermuda. 
The two starters were Eronel II., owned by 
Vice Commodore Samuel Cochrane, of the Ben- 
sonhurst Y. C., and Yo Ho, owned by Henry 
Douglas Bacon, of the Kennebec Y. C. Eronel 
II. was designed and built specially for this race. 
A. Cary Smith & Ferris prepared the plans and 
the yacht was built at Lawleys. Yo Ho was 
built at the Bath Marine Construction Company 
and Mr. Bacon is manager of that company. 
The following will show at a glance the chief 
dimensions of the two boats:

Eronel II. allows Yo Ho ih. 17m. 36s. 
Eronel II carried 550 gallons of gasolene, 35 
gal'ons of lubricating oil, 240 gallons of water 
and she had 204 square feet of sail. On board 
were Vice Commodore Samuel Cochrane, Wil¬ 
liam Watt, navigator; Lawrence Moffat, engi¬ 
neer; James Woods and Joseph Bromfield. 
Yo Ho carried 740 gallons of gasolene, 48 gal¬ 
lons of lubricating oil, 150 gallons of water and 
could spread 240 square feet of sail. On board 
were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Douglas Bacon, Capt. 
Ruben E. Fletcher, Charles Edgecomb, engineer; 
Earl Armstrong, assistant engineer; J. M. Rieber 
and R. S. Rigby. 
The start was made off the New York Motor 
Boat Club station at the foot of West 147th 
street. They were sent away at 10:15 o’clock. 
Yo Ho led across the line, being ten seconds 
ahead of Eronel II. Eronel II., however, soon 
took the lead. The times taken as the two 
yachts passed quarantine were: Eronel II., 
11.50.00; Yo Ho, 11.59.00. Eronel II. passed out 
by Sandy Hook at 12:47 o’clock and Yo Ho just 
seventeen minutes later. The wind was light 
from southeast and the sea smooth. 
British After Gold Cup. 
The British motor boat men are looking for 
more honors than just capturing the British in¬ 
ternational trophy. Efforts are to be made, ac¬ 
cording to report, to capture the Gold Challenge 
cup of the American Power Boat Association, 
which is now held by the Thousand Island Y. C. 
One of the boats to come to this country for 
the big trophy will surely enter for the chal¬ 
lenge cup, and it is possible that all three of the 
British visitors may try for that trophy. The 
races for the cup are to be held on Aug. 4, 5 and 
6 on Alexander Bay. This date was chosen so 
that those boats competing might be brought to 
New York to take part in the elimination trials, 
which will be held at Huntington during the 
week beginning Aug. 13. Yachts must not ex¬ 
ceed 40 feet in length and there is no limit on 
power. The race for the British international 
trophy will be near Larchmont, Aug. 20. 
Races on Lake Champlain. 
Congressman J. C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, 
commodore of the Lake Champlain Y. C., has 
contributed $1,500 to be given in prizes at the 
regatta Aug. 2, and to this sum the club will 
add $500, thus providing a purse that is cal¬ 
culated to be a drawing card which the fast fel¬ 
lows cannot resist. Commodore Sibley’s idea is 
to attract speed boats to the lake this summer. 
The indications are that a fleet equal and per¬ 
haps superior to that which appeared in the Bur¬ 
lington harbor tercentenary week will come for 
the regatta this summer. The feature of this 
year’s meet will be the free-for-all for speed 
boats and the first prize will probably be a cup 
valued at $750. 
Cora II. in Commission. 
Dr. R. Walter Starr, the commodore of the 
Cape May Yacht Club, has his new yacht Cora 
II in commission. The Cora II was designed 
and built by Captain John A. Pharo, at Cape 
May. Mr. Pharo is a seaman of vast experi¬ 
ence and is considered to be an expert on sea¬ 
going boats, and has put forth his best efforts 
in this boat, which was built something after 
the style of the Cape Cod dories, the keel being 
41 feet long and having a io-foot beam, 4-cylin¬ 
der Globe engines with 20-horsepower, and a 
military signal mast. 
Cruise of Power Boats. 
The first annual cruise of the Portland Power 
Boat Association lasted from Thursday, June 16, 
to June 19. They started from Portland and 
cruised to Augusta and back. The trip was a 
■ most enjoyable one and was so successful that 
the motor boat men determined to make it more 
extensive next year. The boats which went on 
the cruise were: Edith, Commodore E. A. 
Clark; Pretzel, E. R. Josselyn; Vim, George D. 
Thorndike; Eva, Frank L. Gray; Saracen, Frank 
Coffey; Governor Fernald, Thayer R. Sterling; 
Fredia, Charles Schonland; Kathryn C., W. H. 
Dugan; Pat II., Austin W. Pease, and a boat 
owned by A. L. Davis. 
Launch of Gardenia. 
At the yards of Murray & Tregurtha, South 
Boston, last week was launched the cruising 
power boat Gardenia, designed by Swasey, 
Raymond and Page for H. A. Knowles of Bos¬ 
ton. She is 48 feet over all, 42 feet 4 inches, 
waterline. 10 feet beam and 4 feet 3 inches 
draft. She is equipped with a 40-horsepower 
engine, capable of driving her at a speed of 
eleven miles an hour. 
Sparks. 
Commodore W. P. Pembroke,, of the Rochester 
Y. C., has a new flagship which was launched 
last week and named Kee Lox III. The yacht 
was built at the Miller Ship Building shops and 
is 76 feet long. She has four staterooms, a large 
saloon and is driven by a 75 horsepower motor. 
The 40-footer, building at Halesite for Com¬ 
modore August Heckscher, of the Huntington 
Y. C., is almost ready for launching. Her build¬ 
ers expect forty-five miles an hour. Rather a 
bold bid. 
Restless, built at Halesite for Thomas F. 
Chesebrough, of Northport, is said to be mak¬ 
ing thirty-seven miles an hour. 
A speed boat, built at Portland for G. D. 
Thorndike, has been tried on the harbor and 
made twenty-two miles an hour. She is named 
Vim and is 30 feet long and 4 feet 6 inches 
beam. The hull weighs about 400 pounds and 
is driven by a 55 horsepower 4-cylinder Vim 
motor. 
E. V. Benjamin’s cruiser Ovarita will leave 
South Boston in a few days for New Orleans. 
The auxiliary cruiser Segochet is to start for 
Porto Rico about the same time.
