Boat Built.

The hull Of new speed boat owned by
Commodore A. G. Forsberg Of this city is
being completed and made ready to be
launched before the end of the present
week from Cumberland's boathouse, foot
Of 9th street southwest. The new craft,
unlike all other speed boats on the river,
Is more of cigar shape and not built
like a wedge. 1t has considerable round
bottom. and the sides come up high, as a
protection from seas when running fast.
The launch will be equipped with a
25-horsepOwer gasoline motor that is ex-
pected to drive 1t through the water at
a speed of about eighteen or twenty miles
an hour. To stand the strain of this
high speed an engine bed about half the
length of the boat has been built for the
motor. The vessel will be handsomely
equipped for pleasure trips on the river.
She will be entered. 1t is stated, In the
motor-boat races during the water car
nival in the latter part Of this week.
Commodore Forsbergs new launch will
be one of the finest of it's kind afloat.
