680 FOREST AND STREAM. [APRIL 28, 1906. 
Boston Letter. the Atlantic Coast Conference, were adopted, DAN KIDNEY @ SON, West De Pere, Wis 
‘ with such additions as are necessary. to. provide 
TrincA LauncHeD.—On Monday morning, for the club’s special classes. 
April 23, at 11:45, the cabin launch Tringa, de- 
signed by Mr. Fred D. Lawley for Hon. William 
M. Lovering, of Taunton, Mass., was launched at 
the Lawley yards, South Boston. Tringa is of 
the same type as the Herreshoff launches Scout, 
Tramp, etc., with the excention that gasolene is 
substituted for steam. She is a nicely lined boat, 
with two low cabin trunks, the space between the 
two being utilized as a bridge deck. An observa- 
tion seat is built on the forward part of the after 
house. She is 78ft. over all, 71ft. 8in. waterline, 
11ft. beam and 4ft. draft. The accommodations 
consist of a saloon and the owner’s stateroom 
forward, abaft of which come the galley and en- 
gine spaces, both of which are exceedingly roomy 
for a boat of this type. There is another state- 
room abaft the engine room space, and in the 
stern is a lazarette, with good storage capacity. 
The outside deck finish and the cabin trunks are 
in teak, while the finish below decks is in ma- 
hogany and white. The boat is propelied by a 
Standard engine of 100 horsepower, which is cal- 
culated to give her a speed of about 15 miles an 
hour. She will be lighted by acetylene. Tringa 
will be tried out in a few days and then will be 
taken to Buzzard’s Bay. She will be used as a 
ferry and for cruising. 
First RACE OF THE SEASON.—A race was sailed 
between boats eligible for class Q, owned in the 
Boston, Y.7G,,- on) Patnots: (Day; sAprilergy s bhe 
race was started off the South Boston station of 
the Boston Y. C. and the regular South Boston 
course was sailed, which took the yachts through 
the islands in the lower harbor and up the West 
Way to the finish. Mr. Charles G. Browne, of 
the Boston Y. C. Regatta Committee, acted as 
judge, The race was sailed in a moderate to light 
E. breeze, and although it does not go on the 
club’s official records, it was none the less inter- 
esting or instructive, the result being a dead heat 
between the new Ghost, built for class Q by 
Messrs. Burgess & Packard, and the a2rft. knock- 
about Sanderling, which is to race in class Q 
throughout the season. Ghost had the best of 
the start, but on the beat to windward Sanderling 
went by her. Sanderling held her lead on the 
next reach, but on the reach up the West Way 
Ghost again went into first place, only to have her 
lead pulled down again by Sanderling later. A 
luffing match was indulged in as they turned the 
last mark for the line, ‘and they went so far in- 
shore that Sanderling called for deeper water. 
After squaring away they sailed stem and stem 
to’ the finish, being timed on the same instant.

OnE THOUSAND DoLiars IN PrizEs.—The Re- 
gatta Committee of the Eastern Y. C. has an- 
nounced that prizes to the value of $1,000 have 
now been offered for the long distance race of 
the club from New London to Marblehead, start- 
ing on June 30. The first cup, valued at $500, was 
offered by Vice-Commodore F. Lewis Clark and 
will be for schooners of more than 75ft. rating. 
Two additional cups have been offered, each to 
be valued at $250, one by Rear Commodore Gor- 
don Abbott, of the sloop Gloriana, for sloops of 
more than 57ft. rating. The second is offered 
by Mr. Henry M. Atkinson, who has chartered 
Mr. W. O. Gay’s 7o-footer Athene for July and 
August, for schooners of less than 75ft. rating. 
It is believed that the offer of these cups will 
bring together the finest fleet of racing yachts in 
the country. 
WIRELESS SYSTEM FoR ANONA.—Arrangements 
are being made to equip the steam yacht Anona, 
Mr. Paul J. Rainey, New York Y. C., with a 
wireless telegraph outfit. Anona is said to be the 
first American yacht to carry the wireless. She 
is at present fitting out at Lawley’s basin under 
command of Capt. John Thompson. 
CorINTHIAN Y. C, Apopts CONFERENCE RULES. 
—A meeting of the Corinthian Y. C. was held at 
the Boston Athletic Association on Friday, April 
20, at which the uniform racing rules, framed by 
Boston Y. C. MEETING.—A meeting of the Bos- 
ton Y. C. will be held in the Rowe’s Wharf club 
house on Wednesday evening, April 25, at which 
the new uniform rating rule together with the 
uniform racing rules adopted at the Atlantic 
Coast Conference will be proposed for acceptance. 
Changes in the wordings of some of the by-laws 
will also be considered. 
Two CHALLENGES FoR THE Quincy Cup.—Two 
challenges have been received by the Manchester 
Y. C. to race for the Quincy Cup, and both have 
been accepted. One of these is from the Quincy 
Y. C. and the other from the Corinthian Y. C.

Manhasset Bay Bugs. 
A VERY interesting type of small boat is to be 
known as the Manhasset Bay bug. These boats, 
fourteen of which are now under construction, 
will soon be ready for the water. They were de- 
signed by Mr. C. D. Mabry, to meet the views 
held by the prospective owners of the class, which 
were that the cost of the boats complete should 
not exceed $125, and be absolutely non-sinkable. 
The intention of the class was to encourage boat 
racing among the boys inhabiting the vicinity of 
the bay; these boys ultimately “would join the 
club and thus be well prepared to carry on the 
keen racing that has always been a feature. 
There is no doubt that nothing better could be 
produced under the requirements, and it would 
be surprising if the popularity of this boat will 
not do a great deal to put small boat sailing 
within reach of many that have been deterred by 
the exnense. Mr. Mabry has given the following 
particulars,. and, we hope, in the near future to 
publish the drawings:
