The trophy for which this boat is 
built as defender is one of the best 
known in American yachting. It 
was first offered in 1895 by the Sea- 
wanhaka Corinthian yacht club as 
an international challenge cup for 
small racing yachts. 
In 1896 the Royal St. Lawrence 
Yacht club sent a successful chal- 
lenger to the races in Long Island 
sound. Until 1905 the cup was held 
by the Canadian club against all 
challangers, but that year the Man- 
chester, representing the Manchester 
Yacht elub, brought back the cup to 
the states. 
This year’s challenge from the 
Royal St. Lawrence Y. C. is the first 
that has been received by the Man- 
chester Y. C. since it won the trophy. 
The Royal St. Lawrence Y. C. 1 
building a challenger, which. it is ex- 
pected will be launched soon. This 
boat is to be tried out against two of 
the older boats, and afterwards the 
challenger and one of the two boats 
are to be shipped to Marblehead for 
trials before the match, which will 
be begun off House island, Manches- 
ter, July 25. 
The first matches for this trophy 
were sailed with half-raters or 15- 
footers. From 1897 to 1900 the boats 
were built to 17 feet water line or 
20-foot rating. Since 1900 they have 
been built to 25-foot rating, with 500 
square feet. of sail, which is increased 
this year to 625 feet. 
The Massachusetts has every ap- 
pearance of being an enlarged Man- 
chester, which was also designed by 
Mr. Boardman. She gives every in- 
dication of speed, and is well able 
to withstand any strain that may be 
put upon her. 
She is 42 feet over all, 25 feet on 
the waterline, of 8 feet 6 inches beam 
and 5 feet draft. Her sail area of 
625 square feet has 500 square feet in 
the mainsail. The mast is about 32 
feet in length, the boom 25 feet and 
the gaff 17 feet 7 inches. <All the 
rigging is of plow steel wire. 
She carries two bilge boards of 
steel plate, which when down will 
draw about four feet, and also has~ 
two bronze rudders. She is planked 
with half-inch cedar, and the deck 
planking is set diagonally and cover- 
ed with canvas. This deck planking 
saves some trussing and also weight, 
and with the ribs of oak spaced at 
six inches this boat is one of the 
strongest scows ever built.

Winiks Mitchell of Manchester put 
his motor boat overboard last Mon- 
day afternoon employing the unique 
method of carrying it through the 
street from his shop. on Bennett 
street to the town landing on wheels 
and launching it by pushing it over- 
board, wheels and all. The boat was 
built by Mr. Mitchell and his brother 
from beginning to end, from designs 
which they obtained. <A! 20-horse- 
power engine has been installed and 
it is expected the boat will develop 
quite a speed and will give Man- 
chester local motor boat enthusiasts 
a rub.
