Lancashire came on to Boston a day or 
two ago and expect to get the family to- 
gether for the Christmas holidays at the 
Hotel Somerset. Ammi, their son, is at 
Yale. During their visit to Boston they 
will no doubt take a run up to Manches-

Seawanhaka Cup Contest Assured. 
A series of races, to be sailed in North 
Shore waters next July for the Seawan- 
haka cup now held by the Manchester 
Yacht club, was assured last week by the 
action of the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht 
club of Montreal in autorizing three of 
its members—C. H. Routh, W. C. Fin- 
ley and F. W. Sherwood—to make ll 
the necessary arrangements for such a 
series with the Manchester Yacht club. 
According to the present plans, the first 
race will take place July 25 and there is 
every expectation that a large representa- 
tion of the Royal St. Lawrence’s mem- 
bership will come down to witness the 
sport. 
Two boats are to be built by the Ca- 
nadians for the trial races in their own 
waters and it may be that another one 
will be gotten out in addition. J. P. 
Black, the rear commodore of the club, 
is to build one of the craft, which will be 
under the supervision of F. W. Sher- 
wood and will be constructed at the yards 
of the St. Lawrence Yacht Company at 
Dorval, P. Q. A syndicate is to be 
formed to defray the cost of constructing 
a second trial craft, while the Thorella 
III. may also be seen in the contests. 
The Canadians are determined to win 
the Seawanhaka trophy the coming year 
and have certainly gone about ic in the 
proper spirit. 
The restrictions governing the con- 
struction of the competing yachts will be 
practically the same as have hitherto ex- 
isted, with the one exception that the 
sail area has been increased from 500 
square feet to 625 square feet. Under 
the conditions governing the last contest, 
there was a fixed weight limit governing 
the crews of the competing boats of 665 
pounds, but this condition has since been 
changed. The only stipulations now 
made regarding the crews in the coming 
contest is that they shall not consist of 
more than four men, and that the per- 
sonnel of the crews shall not be changed 
during the progress of the races, except- 
ing for some reasonable cause, as, for ex- 
ample, sickness or accident. 
The Canadians, in order to test their 
best boats under the same conditions as 
those under which the series of races is 
most likely to take place, will in all 
probability bring two boats to Massachu- 
setts instead of only the winner of the 
trial races. “They will also in all prob- 
ability get together the heaviest crew 
they possibly can, consistently, of course, 
with good seamanship. This is on the 
theory that, with a heavy crew in a light

Uniform Scalefor Carpenters; 44 Hours 
a Week, 47 3-4 cents an Hour. 
For the first time in the history of the 
carpenters’ unions in eastern Massachu- 
setts a uniform scale is promised. Six 
districts have come out in favor of de- 
manding 47% cents an hour for a 44 
hour week, next May. ‘The Boston 
district already has that rate established. 
In others various rates were paid, which 
caused disputes when carpenters paid the 
lower rates went to work in districts 
where the wages were higher. At a 
meeting of the grand council of the six 
districts of eastern Massachusetts held in 
Boston on Friday evening, the declara- 
tion was made to demand the 47} 
cents an hour, with Saturday afternoon 
off the year round. ‘The district includes 
North Shore, in which Beverly belongs, 
South Shore, Norfolk county, Middlesex, 
Newton and Waltham district and the 
Boston district. 
Practically all the unions in the North 
Shore district have voted on the question 
of asking 47} cents an hour anda 44 
hour week, and it is said that the vote 
largely favors making the demand. 
The Manchester local took favorable 
action some weeks ago. ‘They have 
voted in favor of the 47} cent rate and
