Coastwise. 
(North Shore). 
All night, fog-bound, in murky seas we rode 
Off perilous capes and unseen coasts of dread; 
Our vague lights traversed, like dim ghosts in red, 
The pallid regions round our dusk abode; 
The moonless tides beneath us ebbed and flowed, 
And viewless ships, that bolder steered ahead, 
Shrieked weird and far like voices of the dead, 
And all night long we answered where we rode. 
But with the morn the sun came vast and round, 
And winds came golden o’er the wide blue sea, 
And weighing anchor in a world of light, 
We scudded down the main and made the sound 
And marked the port, our city of the free, 
Low on the purple sky, secure and bright. 
—William Ellery Leonard, in Boston Transcript. 
Brooklyn Y. C. Power Boat Race. 
On Saturday, June 2, the Brooklyn Y. C. will 
hold a race for power boats around Staten Island, 
about 50 miles, the race being open to all power 
boats enrolled in a recognized yacht club, Mr. 
E. W. Graef, in charge of the race, has this to say 
about it: 
“All classes will be raced under the American 
Power Boat Association’s new rule, and all boats 
to be measured by the club they represent, in 
order to avoid any confusion or delay on day of 
race. Any boat in its class that goes the entire 
distance, and runs ahead of its rating time, will 
receive a limit pendant, and if winning in its 
class, will receive a prize given by the club. Be- 
sides being a race between boats it will also be a 
race against time, insuring a good running 
engine, properly designed boat, well handled. 
This is a new feature long sought to demonstrate 
reliability, and create an interest that many claim 
is now lacking in power boat racing. It will not 
be necessary for a boat to enter a class, but it 
may run over the course alone. All boats enter- 
ing (except one-design boats) must send in 
their rating under the new rule, and be signed 
by the measurer of their club on or before June 
I, and the time limit for each boat will be handed 
the owner at the finish of the race. The time 
limit to be taken at an average of past perform- 
ances of rated boats in the many past races, to 
insure a fair and impartial condition. As, for 
example, an autoboat rating at 60, 25 per cent. 
of which is 15, consequently the boat will have 
to go over the course at slightly over 15 miles 
per hour, This is not the right percentage, but 
is only cited to demonstrate the principle on 
which the system is based, and the owner may 
conscientiously be proud, if he can carry a limit 
pendant at his flag staff. ‘It will not be necessary 
for participants to have raced previously, as the 
time is based on the rating they receive.” 
There is no doubt at this time that the interest 
in power boat racing has not reached the point 
promised by its most enthusiastic adherents. _ It 
must-be borne in mind, however, that such racing 
is comparatively a new field, and in any new un- 
dertaking that is to be successful the development 
must be slow and the conception of what is to be 
accomplished must be perfect, that the means 
may justify the end. No doubt the attainment 
of speed has been the sole object, but an errone- 
ous one. The race instituted by the Brooklyn 
Y. C. intends to foster good boats, that for their 
respective purposes are speedy, and that is the 
proper and sensible aim, and will tend to give us 
good boats and make the present crazy and dan- 
gerous machine a thing of the past. 

Sates BY Mr. GArpNER.—Mr. Everett B. Web- 
ster has purchased from the estate of Theodore 
R. Hostetter, the steam yacht Seneca. This boat 
is 148ft. over all, 130ft. waterline, roft. breadth, 
was built in 1886 and rebuilt in 1903 at a large 
expenditure of money. The boat is a fast and 
comfortable cruiser. 
Mr. William H. Alley has sold to a Philadel- 
phia yachtsman and member of the New York 
Y. C. his auxiliary schooner yacht Oonas, the 
name of which will be changed. She is now 
being fitted out at City Island, in charge of Cap- 
tain Nelson. The 65ft. launch Lapwing to Mr. 
C. J. Purdy by the estate of the late Dr. Danne.
