IT WOULD BE A GLORIOUS CONTEST.
II the Cushing Should Race the
ccack Herreshoff Yachts,
But the Washington Authorities Do
INot Like the Project.
How the Gushing Sailed Stern Fore.
most Around Fast Steamer.

New YORK, September 25-Yachtsmen
are just now deeply interested in the pro-
posed race of the American Yacht Club for
steam yachts. An effort, which has SO far
met with no success, has been made to In.
duce the Navy Department to permit the
Gushing and Stiletto to compete. Other con-
testants would be the Norwood, Vamoose,
Javelin and Now Then. All these boats are
OF Herreshof build except the Norwood.
and it would be interesting to determine
whether the Norwood can beat the HERES
hoff boats. 1t would also settle whether
the Gushing is faster than the Vamoose,
which is the last of the Herreshoff efforts.
Naval officers laugh at the idea of any of
the other boats being compared with the
Gushing. They say that the Cushing is far
ana away the fastest boat ever built, aud
tnat she settled this fact during the summer
Dy teat which the other boats have not
even claimed the ability to do.
A naval officer said last night: "One day
curing tne past summer, the Cushing went
down the bay with an excursion steamer.
@ which was going Is nautical miles an hour
Ihe Gushing first made two c0mplt te circles
around the excursion boat; then she let the
excursion boat get about quarter of a mile
ahead OF her. People on the excursion boat
saw great commotion in the water. and
pretty soon the Gushing passed them stern
foremost, and gained so rapidly that the ex-
cursion boat seemed to be hardly moving.
The Gushing had actually backed faster
than the swift excursion boat could go for
ward.
THE Cushing was built under Government
inspection. Each nail and rivet in her was
passed upon by government experts before 1t
went In. The most careful tests were ap-
Piled and everything about her was made
perfect. For this reason her officers are not
afraid to put her to the highest test. There
Is no danger Of anything giving way.
"She has thornycroft boilers which occupy
little space and yet permit of tremendous
pressure. The highest pressure on the big
war ships and ocean steamers is never more
than 100 pounds. The Cushing can stand
800 pounds. Her engines are of 1900 horse
power and her stroke may be $50 times a
minute. When you remember that the
length OF the stroke is fifteen inches this
seems almost impossible.
"ln an hours race the Vamoose or the
Norwood might keep within short distance
OF her. But after that the engineers
would have to let down. The engineer of
the Gushing can keep up pressure as long as
he has COAL"
