Successful Launching 
At Fenton’s Boatyard. 
The “Limit,” the large pleasure 
yacht built at the Fenton Boat Co. 
yards for Guy Norman of Boston 
and Beverly, and by far the largest 
troduction of any Manchester boat 
>ard in recent years, at least, took 
her initial dip into the ocean last 
Saturday afternoon about 1.30 
o'clock. 
The launching went off very suc- 
cessfully, there not being the least 
hitch. Just eleven seconds after 
the last pin was removed the boat 
siruck the water with aloud splash. 
Scores of people were present for 
the event, many of the summer con- 
tingent being among the number. 
Though no particular programme 
was laid out, Mr. and Mrs. Guy 
Norman were present and as the 
craft moved from its resting place 
and glided down the ways, Mrs. 
Norman smashed a bottle of cham- 
pagne over the bow, christening 
her thet f; Lamit.”) (AL eloudti cheer 
arose from the crowd, who unfor- 
tunately could not see the christen- 
ing, as the ship was within the 
building when it started. 
There were with Mr. and Mrs. 
Norman, Alexander H. Higginson, 
a member of the company, the ar 
chitect, Arthur Binney and a party 
composed of Fred Lyman, Mr. Foss 
and Mr. Otis, who came down from 
Boston by auto. There were also 
ini the building Mrs. W. G. Eldridge, 
Mrs. David Fenton, Miss Grace Al- 
len and Miss Bessie Allen. 
Among the other spectators were 
Maxs GiApassizit.> VaR. Crosby, 
Philip Sears, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf 
L. Agassiz and several others of 
the summer colony. 
The “Limit” will make ‘her trial 
trip in about two weeks, and will 
go into commission June 1. Though 
not strictly a house boat, the ves- 
sel is near enough to it to be thus 
described. She is a combination 
sailing and power boat, and is the 
extreme in heavy construction of a 
cruising launch. She is 60 feet long 
(72 feet over all), with 15 feet beam, 
and was designed primarily for a 
floating habitation. Her  distin- 
guishing feature is her large cabir 
accommodation, with numerous 
transoms and spaces for lockers and 
stowage. Her sail plan calls for 
815 feet of canvas. She will carry 
two 25 horse power Standard en- 
gines. 
After the launching Saturday the 
guests all went over to Marblehead 
in the company’s launch and dined 
at the Corinthian Yacht club.

The following sketch of C. Arthur 
Lincoln, the  pastor-elect of the 
Congregational church: in Man- 
chester, we take from the Hartford 
Daily Courant of last Monday: 
Mr. Lincoln was born in Chel- 
sca, Mich., but received the greater 
part of his education in New Eng- 
land. He was graduated from the 
high school in West Winsted, af- 
ter which he taught for a year as 
principal. of the Academy in Goshen. 
He then went south with his 
father’s family and for five years 
lived in Florida. While there Mr. 
Lincoln became principal of the 
high school at Lakeland. He was 
also elected president of the Florida 
Christian Endeavor Union. 
In 1899 he came north and en- 
tcred Amherst College with the 
class of 1903, but completed the 
four years’ course in less than three 
years and took the degree of B. A. 
with the class of 1902. While in 
college Mr. Lincoln was elected to 
the Phi Kappa Psr*traternity, be- 
came a soloist of the Amherst Col- 
lege Glee club, was a member of the 
college brass band and also of the 
college orchestra, and sang in the 
college choir and the oratorio cho- 
rus. 
Mr. Lincoln’s studies in theology 
began in 1902 in the Hartford Theo- 
logical Seminary and during the 
past three years he has_ supplied 
churches in this vicinity almost 
continuously. He preached several 
times at the church at Manchester- 
by-the-Sea before receiving the call, 
preached there yesterday and will 
probably supply the pulpit there 
until his graduation and _ ordina- 
tion. He is a son of Rev. George 
IX. Lincoln, pastor of the Congrega- 
tional church at East Granby.
