MANCHESTER, MASS., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1909. 
Of Interest to Yachtsmen. 
With no possibility of a race for the 
America’s cup next season, the most im- 
portant events for the consideration of 
yachtsmen will be the races of the son- 
der klasse boats and the match for the 
Seawanhaka cup, now held by the Man- 
chester Yacht club, says the Sunday 
Herald. As the challenge of the Royal 
St. Lawrence Yacht club for the Sea- 
wanhaka cup has been in the hands of 
the Manchester Yacht club for a year, a 
contest for that trophy is practically as- 
sured. 
Yachts built to-compete for the Sea- 
wanhaka cup are subject to restrictions 
as to scantlings, sail area and rating. 
The last of the racers were of about 25 
feet rating, upon a sail of 500 square 
feet. Since the last match, however, at 
a conference between representatives of 
the Royal St. Lawrence and the Man- 
chester yacht clubs, it was agreed to in- 
crease the sail area to 625 feet. 
Under these conditions it would be 
impossible for yachts built for sonder 
klasse rules to compete for this trophy. 
It would be possible, however, for the 
Royal St. Lawrence and the Manches- 
ter yacht clubs to get together and agree 
to have the match sailed under the rules 
of the sonder klasse. This would, no 
doubt, be favorable to the Americans, as 
there are several boats of the sonder 
klasse now eligible for trial races of the 
Manchester Yacht club if the rules should 
be chosen, and there are three or four 
new ones expected in the field next sea- 
son. 
From 1897 to 1904 inclusive the 
Royal St. Lawrence Yacht club has held 
possession of the Seawanhaka Challenge 
cup, which was offered by the Seawan- 
haka Corinthian Yacht club as an _inter- 
national trophy in 1895. In 1905 the 
Manchester, designed and sailed by E. 
A. Boardman, captured the trophy and 
brought it back to this country. 
The American National Red Cross. 
The fifth annual meeting of the Mas- 
sachusetts branch will be held on Nov- 
ember 16, 1909, at No. 3 Joy street, 
Boston, at 12 o'clock, noon. 
Officers will be elected and any other 
business that may be proposed will be 
transacted. A large attendance is re- 
quested to debate the question of dissolv- 
ing the Branch organization, according 
to a new plan proposed by the Central 
Committee at Washington.

Re re ee 
The transfer of another summer es- 
tate at Manchester has just been an- 
nounced,—that of the Bullard estate, at 
Singing Beach, to Thomas Taylor, jr., 
a wealthy young South Carolinian. The 
sale was made through the office of T. 
Dennie and Reginald Boardman. The 
former owners moved their goods from 
the property this week and the house is 
now ready to be turned over to the pur- 
chaser. It is understood that Mr. Tay- 
lor will make a few improvements to the 
property this winter, but nothing exten- 
sive will be done this year, as the owner 
plans to occupy it next season. ‘The 
property is located on the easterly end of 
Singing Beach, and is among the most 
charmingly located along the Manches- 
ter shore. Entrance to it is from Sea 
street.

The work of laying conduits on For- 
est street, by the Manchester Electric 
Co., for extending service to the A. L. 
Devens and the P. Dexter estates has 
been completed, though the cables have 
not yet been pulled through the conduits. 
The service is to be extended to the 
Devens’ property this winter and next 
spring to Mr. Dexter’s. 
Though the final papers have not yet 
been passed in the sale of the Castle 
Hill farm at Ipswich, it is known that 
Richard T. Crane, jr., of Chicago is 
the prospective owner of the large estate. 
As already stated in the Breeze extensive 
improvements will be made and the 
place will be transformed into one of the 
grandest estate on the North Shore. 
The Cranes have recently returned to 
their Chicago home for the winter. 
They had the Cochrane house at Pride’s 
the last summer, and last year they had 
the Randolph Coolidge cottage at Man- 
chester. 
More or less work is being done on 
the grounds of the Essex County club 
this fall, as usual, with the aim of still 
further improving the grounds and mak- 
ing them numbered among the finest 
golf links in the country. No extensive 
work is being carried on. A few bunk- 
ers are being built and changed over, a 
few new greens will be laid out, and 
some woods and shrubbery will be 
cleared away. ‘The workis being carried 
on under the direction of the caretaker,
