of upland property adjoining his yard and his 
residence will be moved there, thus increasing 
the capacity of the yard to store big boats. Work 
is to be carried out at once to make the basin 
sea tight and give a depth of water of 18ft. at 
low tide. 
Ferry Service Launch. 
WE publish this week the design of a launch 
for ferry service on the north shore of Massa- 
chusetts Bay, between the owner’s summer home 
at Eastern Point and Gloucester. The design is 
from the office of Messrs. Hoyt & Clark, and was 
made for Commodore H. C. Rouse, of the Sea- 
wanhaka Corinthian Y. C. The launch is now 
under construction at the yards of Messrs. 
Stearns & McKay, Marblehead. 
The form of the boat is well adapted to its pur- 
pose, and she should perform well in either 
rough or smooth water. The construction is 
heavy, the strength being mainly in the planking 
and framing, which, after all, when it is possible 
to carry the weight, is the best place in which to 
put it. The accommodation for such a boat is 
very good and was carried out from the owner’s 
ideas. The small cockpit forward will, in nice 
weather, and protected by a- glass break, be a 
comfortable place to sit. Next aft is the engine 
compartment, whose sides are flush and the roof 
of which is raised somewhat above the sheer, 
giving good head room and ventilation in. the 
engine room. The engine is to be of 25 horse- 
power, and, in this protected place, will keep 
running no matter how dirty the weather be- 
comes, 
Immediately aft is a space reserved for the 
helmsman, which is separated from the cockpit 
by a double bulkhead, which will form a pocket 
for a second glass break to protect the passen- 
gers from spray. The after cockpit is roomy, 
with seats about the four sides, and will be fitted 
for the carriage of trunks, etc. Under the after 
deck is located the steering gear. 
This type of boat is very interesting at this 
time. There is still a wide field ahead for its 
development, and in the near future we believe 
boats of this type will receive still more attention. 
Their reliability, speed and comfort are very 
great, and as an adjunct to a country place such 
a boat is invaluable.

FivE-HuNpDRED-DoLLAR CUP FOR SCHOONERS.— 
Vice-Commodore F. Lewis Clark, of the Eastern 
Y. C., has offered a cup valued at $500 for the 
club’s race for schooners from New London to 
Marblehead, starting June 30. Five entries for 
this race have already been received, and every- 
thing points to the success of the event. The offi- 
cial entry was received last week of Mr. F. F. 
Brewster’s Elmina. The schooners Corona, Mr. 
A. F. Luke, and Invader, Mr. Roy A. Rainey, 
having been received before. ‘The entries have 
also been received of the new 55-rating schooner 
Dervish, building at Lawley’s for Commodore 
Henry A. Morss, of the Corinthian Y. C., and 
the new 65ft. waterline schooner Taormina, also 
building at Lawley’s for Mr. W. S. Eaton. All 
of these yachts are expected to enter in the an- 
nual cruise of the Eastern Y. C. and take part 
in the port to port runs. It is hoped that the 
new schooner Queen, now building at Herre- 
shoff’s for Mr. J. Rogers Maxwell will be ready 
in time to enter for the race. Last week the 
new mainmast was stepped in Corona at Law- 
ley’s. It is three feet longer than the old spar, 
which was found to be rotted when it was taken 
out. Corona is having a new suit of sails by 
Messrs. Wilson & Silsby. 
GERMAN-AMERICAN Matcu.—By far the great- 
est interest displayed in Massachusetts Bay dur- 
ing the coming season will be in the class of 
boats which will compete in the trial races for the 
Gernmian-American match. Orders have already 
been placed for 15 boats, and it is quite possible 
that there will be more in sight before the open- 
ing of the season. It is undoubtedly the interna- 
tional feature, and the small size of the boats 
that is responsible for the great amount of in- 
terest shown. No other class has ever received 
such patronage for its first season in the history 
of Massachusetts Bay yachting. 
Interest is by no means confined to Massachu- 
setts Bay, for some New York and Long Island 
Sound yachtsmen are coming in for a try at the 
honors. Last week Mr. H. U. Hayden, of New 
Orleans, visited Boston and consulted with 
Messrs. Burgess & Packard on building a boat 
for the trials for a syndicate of members of the 
Southern Y. C. Mr. Trenor L. Park, of the New 
York Y. C., is having a boat built from designs 
of Mr. William Gardner. Vice-Commodore F. 
Lewis Clark is having a boat designed by Mr. 
Clinton H. Crane, which will be sailed by the 
designer. A boat is being designed by Messrs. 
Cox and Stevens; of New York, the owner’s 
name being withheld. Two boats for the class 
have been ordered from MHerreshoff. One of 
these is for Mr. Frank Gair Macomber, Jr., and 
the other is for Mr. H. M. Sears. A boat, de- 
signed by Mr. B. B. Crowninshield is now in the 
planking stages at the Graves yard in Marble- 
head. The owner of this boat, which will be 
sailed by the designer, has not yet been named. 
Another boat by the same designer for Dr. Mor- 
ton Prince, is now being built by Messrs. Stearns 
& McKay, of Marblehead. Mr. E. A. Boardman 
has received orders for four boats for Messrs. 
Charles Francis Adams, 2d, C. H. W. Foster, 
Dr. John L. Bremer and Charles P. Curtis. The 
O. Sheldon Co., of Neponset, is reported to have 
an order for a boat for Mr. R. L. Pond. Mr. E. 
W. Hodgson, an amateur, who designed the fast 
25-footer L’Aiglon, has prepared a set of lines 
which he is considering building from. 
On account of the rules of measurement, it is 
quite likely that there will be a great variety in 
types. The Crowninshield boat now building at 
the Graves yard is 35ft. over all and has a finely 
turned hull, of the old knockabout type; but it 
is likely that all of the boats will be of conserva- 
tive dimensions. Several are known to be over 
36ft. over all. Mr. Hodgson’s design is very ex- 
treme. The boat to be built at Sheldon’s for Mr. 
R. L. Pond will be 20ft. waterline, 4oft. over all, 
6ft. 6in. breadth and sft. 6in. draft. These con- 
ditions are all very nice for the purpose of bring- 
ing out many varied ideas of speed lines, but the 
result is getting somewhat away from the recent 
strong movement in America of doing away with 
freak boats of abnormal proportions. It seems 
highly probable that the most extreme boats in 
this new bunch will be found at the head of the 
list, and it will become necessary to build freakier 
boats to beat them. Thus we come back to con- 
ditions which have sounded the death notes of 
our once excellent classes, and which are likely 
to make this class short lived in this country, un- 
less the same rules should be maintained for races 
of future seasons. It has been held out that the 
races to be sailed in German waters under Ameri- 
can challenge next year will be between boats 
of class Q, under the new uniform rating rule. 
It is considered by many of those who are build- 
ing new boats, however, that it would hardly be 
fair to force a class or a type of boat on the 
Germans, which they have seen fit to reject. It 
is possible that they will not be over-anxious to 
sail future matches with Sonderklasse boats after 
the coming one has been finished. It is certain 
that when they come to America this summer, 
they will discover some things about the class 
that they may not have considered before. 
Two New SxKene Boats.—Mr. Norman L. 
Skene has received an order for a cruising launch 
for Mr. H. W. Arnold, of New York. She will 
be 35ft. 9in. over all and will be fitted with triple 
screws. Mr. Skene also has an order for an 18ft. 
catboat for Mr. John R. Andrews, of Brooklyn.
