TWENTY-NINE-FOOT OPEN LAUNCH——DESIGNED BY NORMAN L. SKENE FOR S. H. HOWARD. 
Now; as to some idea of what the successful 
motor will probably be. For large powers it will 
probably be a double-acting motor, having water 
cooled pistons, and, I believe on a two-cycle prin- 
ciple. The weight should be kept down to at least 
25-50 pounds per horsepower by the use of good 
engineering and suitable materials, and might 
even be less. I should say that a piston speed of 
a thousand feet a minute would not be out of the 
way, and that the probable revolutions would not 
be over 600. In fact, this figure is one which 
should be closely adhered to except for the 
smallest class of tenders. 
I regret that a greater time has not been given 
me for preparation on this subject, and that I am 
only able to give an outline of what seems to 
me to be an important field of development for 
the gasolene motor and one in which it is bound 
to take a premier position within the next ten or 
fifteen years.

A 29ft. Open Launch. 
WE reproduce herewith the plans of a 2oft. 
open launch which were made by Mr. Norman 
L. Skene for Mr. Samuel H. Howard, of To- 
ronto, for use on Lake Ontario. 
The boat was designed as a roomy, comfort- 
able launch and is built on the ribband carvel 
system, of medium scantlings. The engine is to 
be a 15 horsepower Buffalo, which will drive the 
boat about 11 miles per hour. Dimensions follow:

AMERICAN Power Boat Assn.—The annual 
meeting of the American Power Boat Assn. was 
held at the Arena, West Thirty-first street, New 
York, on the evening of March 7. The follow- 
ing officers were elected: President, J. Norris 
Oliphant, Thousand Islands Y. C.; Secretary, 
Anson B. Cole, Manhasset Bay Y. C.; Treasurer, 
J. H. Wainwright, American Y. C.; Measurer, 
Henry J. Gielow, Atlantic Y. C.; Executive Com- 
mittee—John H. McIntosh, Columbia Y. C.; J. G. 
Knap, Chippewa Y. C.; Harold Brown, Swamp- 
scott Y. C.,, and H. J. Mitchell, Riverton Y. C. 
Forty-six clubs now belong to the A. P. B. A. 
and five more have applied for membership. 
The matches for the Gold Cup will take place 
on Aug. 21, 22 and 23 over a 30-mile course on 
Chippewa Bay under the auspices of the Chip- 
pewa Y. C. On the motion of Mr. James N. Oli- 
phant, of the Thousand Islands Y. C., the declara- 
tion of trust governing the Gold Cup was so 
amended that challenging clubs could substitute 
another boat than that which they challenged 
within ten days before the race. 
Mr. Edward M. MacLellan, chairman of the 
Committee on Legislation, stated that the present 
bill before Congress did not apply to power boats 
intended for pleasure but to boats that. carried 
passengers or freight. Mr. MacLellan said, how- 
ever. that it was important that a bill be framed 
which would insure proper legislation for the 
pleasure power boats so that owners and manu- 
facturers would be protected from inexperienced 
and incompetent pilots. 
A resolution was offered by Mr. W. H. Ket- 
chum to the effect that the Committee on Legis- 
lation should confer with other organizations in 
order to secure such legislation which might be 
considered necessary.. This bill will be referred 
to the Executive Committee for approval and 
they will bring it before Congress.
