INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACERS
Recent Observations of One Who Is
 Interested in Yachting.

------------
 The work on the cup defender at Bristol was not suspended on General Washing toms birthday. 1t was feared that the plates, if not riyited at once, might cause the frames to buckle. The rudder has been fitted to the sternpost and shored up until the patent hangers were adjusted. The socket or step of the main mast was discovered to be about two inches forward of the center of the opening in the deck. which might give a rake to the mast when set up unless the weight of the mast and it's rigging should settle the bow of the boat enough to bring the mast to per pendicular. There Is a socket in which the mast will be set which will hold three gallons of melted lead. and when this is cold there will be small chance for any blow to move it-a first-cass setting.
 THE BOSTON BOAT.
 It is believed by all who have seen the design of Mir. Crowninshield that he is building a fast boat worthy to sail as competitor of the Herrishoif boat. He has made no radical changes. He had adopted the general plan of the Columbia and added Improvements in model and in construction to carry out his ideal plan. She will be little longer and have less beam than the Columbia. She will have more fore foot than the new Bristol boat. Her length over all will be 40 feet 10lH in0les: water line, 90 feet; draft, 20 feet; deck beam at front of keel. 15 feet; deck beam at the after end of keel. IS feet 9 inches: ~overhang for ward, 2 feet inches; overhang aft, 23 feet inches; free board at stern head, 6 feet Il inches; least free board, 4 feet, and at taffrail, feet inches. Not withstanding she will be less beamy, she will have a trifie more displacement and have a fiatter under body than the Columbia of 1899.
 SHAMROCK, II.
 Those who have seen the new as- pirant for the cup declare that she is a masterpiece of metal workmanship, and in this respect surpasses anything ever produced in Scotland. Her frames, of bulb nickle steel, light in some parts, are placed SO closely that there are sixty on each side of the keel, where the great weight of lead requires tre- mendous strength to hold it immoy- able, and under the chain plates, where the strain of the rigging is most severe. The frames are strengthened by many cross ties, placed so as to distribute the strain ever a large surface. There are many steel straps. placed crosswise, holding the timbers together to which the plates are riveted and following the sheer of the boat. avoiding the usual overlapping so that the outer body will be as smooth as a bottle.
 The accurate fitting of the plates so as to prevent leaking has required the greatest skill! and finest workmanship, and this task was made more difficult by the intractibiljty CT the manganese bronze. Mr. Watson is satisfied with this part of the work. A. c. U.
