that she ran into some lobster buoys and lost 
her rudder. 
When about a mile from the end of the first 
round Pioneer stopped. It was learned after¬ 
wards that she was on fire. Those on board 
worked hard to repair the damage, but it was 
twenty minutes before she was going again. In 
the meantime Dixie and Zigarella both passed 
her and their times at the end of the first 
round were Dixie 3:49:50, Zigarella 3:52:29. 
Dixie had made the ten miles in 19 minutes 50 
seconds and Zigarella in 22 minutes 29 seconds. 
Zigarella was going better than she had earlier 
in the race and seemed to be gaining. 
At 4:02 o’clock Pioneer started again and she 
passed the home mark at t'05:28. She was then 
15 minutes 38 seconds behind Dixie. She was 
doing her best and showed a wonderful burst 
of speed. Even then there were some who 
thought she might be able to catch Dixie. 
Dixie turned the home mark on the second 
round at 4:09:52, having made her second ten 
miles in 20 minutes 2 seconds. Zigarella had 
dropped out. Pioneer made the second round 
at 4:22:59. Her second ten miles had been made 
in 17 minutes 31 seconds and she was then 13 
minutes 7 seconds behind Dixie. Dixie finished 
at 4:29:44, having made her last ten miles in 
19 minutes 52 seconds and the whole course in 
59 minutes 44 seconds. As soon as Dixie fin¬ 
ished Pioneer slowed down and she crossed the 
line at 4:43:21. having made her last ten miles 
in 20 minutes 22 seconds and the whole course 
in 1 hour 13 minutes 21 seconds. 
After the race there was a meeting of the 
international committee and changes in the 
Deed of Gift were discussed. It was agreed 
that it was hardly fair to bring yachtsmen so 
far just for one' race. An accident such as 
happened to Pioneer caused her to lose and a 
much slower boat to take the cup. If the 
match were two out of three races a boat meet¬ 
ing with an accident would still have a chance 
of winning out. Other changes were discussed 
which will be submitted to Lord Northcliffe / for 
his approval and it is possible that next year 
boats may be 50 feet long instead of 40 and 
other changes made which will make the con¬ 
test much more interesting.

William B. Motheral, of Washington, has 
designed a hull for a boat to be driven by a mo¬ 
tor which is something new in model and con¬ 
struction and he has patented his ideas. The 
boat is of the wedge shape, being very sharp 
forward. Its sides run straight and the stern is 
broad and rounded. The boat is also of the 
double hulled type and air is forced under the 
boat to forin a cushion. The construction and 
details of the boat as well as the ideas of Mr. 
Motheral are better understood from a study of 
his own specifications and by reference to his 
drawings, which follows. He claims that the 
invention consists in certain improvements in 
the shape of the hull and in details of construc¬ 
tion of boats of that particular character shown 
in' former patents issued to me, formed with 
wedge-shaped hulls and wherein air is forced 
under the boat to form a cushion between its 
bottom and the water to facilitate its propul¬ 
sion, whereby such boat is rendered more per¬ 
fect in its construction, and improved results 
may be attained, all as will be hereinafter more 
fully described and claimed. 
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 
Figure I is the under side plan of the hull of 
one of my boats embodying said improve¬ 
ments, Figure 2 a central longitudinal section 
through the same. Figures 3. 4 and 5 detail 
views illustrating features and construction on 
an enlarged scale, and Figures 6 to 11 inclusive 
cross section through the hull of the boat at 
the several points indicated by the several dot¬ 
ted lines in Figure 1, to show more clearly the 
particular shape of the bottom and sides of said 
hulls. 
The bottom of the boat is curved in cross 
section, said bottom being in the form of a 
section taken off one side of a perfect one, the
