Export oF Motor Boats.—Five carloads. of 
motor boats for export in a single day is reported 
by the W. H. Mullins Company, of Salem, O., 
and speaks well for the reputation of the Mullins 
steel boat abroad, as well as for the energetic 
management of this progressive concern. A num- 
ber of shipments of Mullins steel boats have al- 
ready been made, and the last shipments for Lon- 
[JUNE 2, 19006. 

don and Sweden are to fill orders taken by their 
agents, as all the Mullins steel motor boats sent 
in previous shipments were promptly sold upon 
receipt. The W. H. Mullins Company reports

year do the largest export business they have

Cuicaco Y. C.—The Chicago: Y. C. has been 
presented with a handsome perpetual trophy by 
Sir John G. Nutting, and has decided to offer it 
as an annual challenge cup for the 18ft. restricted 
class. The races are open to the members of all 
bona fide yacht clubs on the Great Lakes, both in 
Canada and the United States, and the first races 
will be held on Sept. 14, 15, 17 and 18, off Chi- 
cago. The Chicago Y. C. will have as its de- 
fenders for this cup the Pequod, which was 
launched last year, and Seminole, now under con- 
struction. The club has selected the 18ft. class 
for this cup after most careful deliberation, and 
for the reason that there seems to be a, growing 
demand for a boat of this size, which is sea- 
worthy, fast, suitable for short cruises, and par- 
ticularly adaptable for afternoon sailing. A fleet 
of these can be looked after by one man, so that 
the expense of up-keep is small and the cost of 
their construction varies from $900 to $1,200, de- 
pending upon the material used. Under the deed 
of gift the title to the cup will always be re- 
tained by the club, but provision will be made 
for suitable reward to the successful boat, and 
for the temporary possession of the cup by the 
winning club.
