CoMMANDER HEBBINGHAUS IN Boston.—Com- 
mander H. G. Hebbinghaus, naval attaché of the 
German embassy, arrived in Boston on Wednes- 
day, April 25, and has since been the guest of Mr. 
Henry Howard, chairman of the Regatta Commit- 
tee of the Eastern Yue Commander Hebbing- 
haus is the representative of Emperor William in 
the German-American match between boats of 
the Sonderklasse. Commander Hebbinghaus was 
the guest of Commodore W. Amory Gardner at 
Groton, on Saturday, and it was reported from 
there that the details of the match have all been 
agreed upon and that he has cabled the Emperor 
to that effect. 
On Thursday Commander Hebbinghaus visited 
Rear Admiral Albert S. Snow, Commandant of 
the Navy Yard at Charlestown, and on the same 
day called upon Mayor Fitzgerald. 
Commander Hebbinghaus was the guest of the 
Eastern Y. C. Regatta Committe on Sunday. The 
party boarded a tug in Boston and, after making 
a tour of the upper harbor, proceeded to Marble- 
head. The yard of Messrs. Stearns and McKay 
was first visited, where the representative of the 
Germans was shown the boat being built for Dr. 
Morton Prince from designs of Mr. B. B. Crown- 
inshield, The yard of Messrs. Burgess and Pack- 
ard was next visited, where the lines of a boat 
designed by the firm for Mr. Lawrence F. Per- 
cival were shown. The party then proceeded to 
Manchester, where a boat building at Fenton’s 
from designs of Mr. E. A. Boardman was seen. 
The Emperor’s representative was much im- 
pressed with what he saw and expressed surprise 
at the dimensions of the American trial boats, 
which are extreme for the German Sonderklasse 
rule, under which the boats are built. 
“They are big boats for the rule,” he said. 
Thus far fourteen boats have been ordered for 
the American trial races, the latest addition being 
Mr. George H. Wichtman, of the Boston Y. 
who has ordered a boat from Mr. B. B. Crownin- 
shield, to be built at Manchester. It has been 
announced that the boat building at Graves’ yard. 
Marblehead. of which the owner’s name has thus 
far been withheld, is for Mr. Francis Skinner, Jr., 
of the Eastern Y. C. This boat will be sailed by 
the designer. The list of boats ordered is as 
follows:
