[JUNE 23, 1906. 

A New Launch. 
TuHE launch illustrated above has lately been 
delivered to her owner, Mr. Eben Stevens, of 
Lawrence, Long Island, and has been named 
Sis. The design was made by Mr. E. B. Shock, 
of our contemporary, The Rudder, and shows. 
a nice little boat, well adapted for the work she 
will have to do. Sis is entered in the Marble- 
head-College Point race, starting from the 
former place on June 28. Sis was built at the 
yard of the Electric Launch Co. at Bayonne, 
and is very nicely finished. Her dimensions 
and particulars are as follows:

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Power Boat OcEAN RAce.—The list of entrants 
for the power boat race from Marblehead to New 
York, closed last week, shows fifteen entries, a 
number which must be very gratifying to the 
Knickerbocker Y. C. The course is about 280 
miles in length around Cape Cod, and is one to 
bring out the abilities of the contestants, which 
have undergone a change by reason of knowledge 
gained in the race of a year ago, and they are 
to-day, as a whole, more fit for their work, from 
a point of design, than when these races were in- 
stituted. It is in this class of boat that the 
attention of the greatest number of yachtsmen 
or boatmen are centered, and properly so—for 
their development means more toward obtaining 
a good reliable boat and engine at a proper price 
and that is also comfortable and seaworthy. This 
kind of racing is the one that should have the 
heartiest support: ;

THe Eastern Y. C. Power Races.—The 
power boat racing offered for some years past 
by the Eastern Y. C. at Marblehead has been a 
feature in Massachusetts Bay, and the Regatta 
Committee has done good and thorough work 
to avoid the disappointments to which this sport 
has been subject. This year the club is plan- 
ning an active campaign, as last year there was 
not the interest, by reason of the delay in the 
arrival of boats coming from distant points. 
The interest in this class of racing is growing, 
and the number of fast boats would well make 
it worth while for the New York flyers to make 
the journey to Marblehead.
