ECHOES OF THE LONDON CONFERENCE.—‘To se- 
cure a fair hearing for foreign delegates in the 
matter of the small classes, and the latter was 
chiefly concerned with internal 52-footer measure- 
ments—heaven knows that the external measure- 
ments entailed by the rule should be enough for 
any man! And so the long expected general 
meeting of the British Y. R. A. was conducted. 
We wonder what foreign nations will think of 
3ritish yachting enthusiasm. Reading over the 
‘blue book’ of the Conference, one cannot but 
keenly regret anew the absence of American dele- 
gates. They, at least, are ‘live men, and if they 
could not have persuaded the Conference to 
adopt the New York Y. C. rule, they would most 
assuredly have been invaluable in the discussion 
of the suggested measurement.’—London Yachts- 
man. 
“After reading Mr. Benbon’s letter I am not at 
all convinced of the excellency of the rule voted 
at the London Conference of Jan. 18. I keep 
thinking that a rule like the one of the New York 
Y. C. infinitely more rational, and_ practically 
demonstrated as being excellent, is far superior 
to the London Conference’s formula. Neverthe- 
less, I have voted, with the majority of French 
yachtsmen gathered at our national meeting, for 
the adpotion of the London formula asking for 
small yachts only the alteration of a few of the 
co-efficients. I believe, in fact, that it is better 
policy to sacrifice one’s own opinion to the super- 
lor interest of an international agreement, but it 
is not without a deep regret that I see our yacht- 
ing forsake the way on which it was launched as 
far back as 1900 by introducing the midship sec- 
tion at the denominator of our formula; the re- 
sults were very satisfactory, and it does seem to 
me, on the eve of binding us for ten years, that 
all European nations would find most interesting 
to unite and create aside of the international for- 
mula series one single class of small yachts meas- 
sured by the New York Y. C. rule, and which 
would be an experimental class. The lessons 
that should be learnt from such an experiment 
could only be of greatest benefit to the future of 
yachting.” J. Le Breer 
Vice-President du Cercle de la Voile de Paris. 
[The reason of the United States non-attend- 
ance was not so much that they were content with 
the working of their rule, but that they wished to 
test it and give it a fair trial. If the difference 
in the sections to be eventually produced by the 
two rules is to be as great as M. Le Bret has 
shown in his illustrations, we should unhesitat- 
ingly vote in favor of the fuller boat, as the 
American boat is a rank fin keeler. But we think 
the difference considerably exaggerated.—Ed.

ENGLISH Buitt Boats FoR AMERICAN OWNERS. 
—Messrs. Cox and King, naval architects, of Suf- 
folk street, Pall Mall, have recently, on behalf of 
an American client, contracted with Messrs. Ram- 
age and Ferguson, Limited, Leith, for building a 
high-class steam yacht of about 920 tons y.m., to 
be fitted with twin machinery having about 1,600 
indicated horsepower. The vessel will be built 
under Lloyd’s and be up-to-date in all respects. 
A new motor-yawl, built to the order of Mr. F. 
M. Singer, of Paris and Philadelphia, a member 
of the New-York Y.C., was successfully launched 
from the yard of Messrs. H. S. Hansen & Co., at 
Cowes, on Monday morning. Mrs. Singer per- 
formed the christening ceremony, and was pre- 
sented with a handsome bouquet of white carna- 
tions and lilies of the valley by Mrs. Mundell, 
wife of the captain of the vessel. As the vessel 
left the ways, Mrs. Singer named her Suzanne. 
With a length over all of 76ft., beam of 16ft. 8in., 
and draft aft of 7ft. 9in., the new vessel has ex- 
cellent accommodation, and is intended for Chan- 
nel cruising and pleasure on the Seine. She car- 
ries an 80 horsepower four-cylinder motor amid- 
ships, and, when under this power alone will 
travel at 8 knots an hour. Suzanne was built to 
the design of Mr. J. M. Soper.—Yachting World.
