NEW CRUISER
FOR CHAPMAN
To Be Launched on April 80 and
Will Be Entered in Many
Long Distance Races.

One OF the most striking cruisers tat
will be launched this season is that being
built for Commodore c. f. Chapman Of the
New York Motor Boat Club. which will
be put over" on April 30
The boat was designed by Commodore
Chapman. who is a naval architect, and
undoubtedly will prove one OF the most
comfortable cruising boats of the season.
1t is the intention Of Commodore and Mrs.
Chapman to take extended cruises in the
new cruiser this summer.
Although built primarily for cruising the
new craft will by no means be slow, and
undoubtedly will give a good account of
herself in the many long distance races to
be held this season. Under the A. p.
3. A. rules the new boat will rate 80, and
under the Viking rules 80. so it can be
readily seen that some Of the other boats
will have 10 travel II they expect 10 win
when the time is corrected
In dimensions the craft Is 80 feet over
all, 93 feet beam and 30 inches draft 1t
is equipped with a four-cylinder four-cycle
Sterling engine, AS bore by 5is stroke, de-
veoplng 2-horsepower.
The cabin is equipped with exceptionally
large berths. four I'm number, all cruising
equipment anC exceptionally large ports.
The cockpit floor is raised is inches above
the waterline. The planking is Of cedar,
as are the ribs, and the keel is OF oak.
The boa, is lighted by electricity.
One OF the features Of the boat is de-
vice to lock the rudder in any position.
The new craft will be entered in all long
distance races this summer.

MAHNKEN OFFERS TROPHY
Colonial Y. G. Prize To Be
Awarded by Point System.

Edward l.. Mahnken, rear commodore Of

Mahnken trophy again this year.
The boats, upon completion OF the va
rious races, receive the following points.
First. 8; second, 4; third 9; fourth. 2, and
fifth, /.
This is An excellent system Of counting
points, in so far as it gives all classes of
beats r fair chance. 7 his was proven by
the fact that last year six boats were tied
for ffrst place. which necessitated putting
on an extra race to decide the winner OF
the trophy.

New Formulas Adopted TO
Cover Various Types
of Motors.
TWO-CYCLE TYPE is
ADVERSELY AFFECTED
Will Be Increased by About 27
Per Cent-Division at Six
Inches Abolished.

Now that the motor boat season Is
drawing near It might be well TO 20 over
the changes in the American Power Boat
Association racing rules for 1914 The most
important change in these rules for the
coming season Is the one in the formula
for determining the horsepower Of In
ternai combustion engines.
Formerly there were four formulas USED
for this purpose. depending upon wheth
or the engine was Of the two or the foV
stroke type and whether the length
the stroke was greater or less Than 81,
inches.
This year. however. in deterrniniss
horsepower there will be no discrimina.
ton between the long stroke and the
Short stroke motors. In other words a
motor having a stroke Of eight inches will
rate twice that OF one having a stroke
OF four inches assuming. ot course that
the bore is the same In both cases. There
fore many OF the boats that won races
last season on account OF a comparative
by low rating, while having long stroke
motor. will rate higher this year.
Four-cycle motors having a stroke Of
less than six inches will not be affected
by the change, but will rate the same in
the future as in the past. In the case Of
motors having stroke Of more than sir
Inches the formula makes the rating 20
up. depending upon the length Of the
stroke. continuing from the upper limit
Of the old formula for four-cycle motors
OF less than a six-inch stroke.
In two cycle practice the change in
rules will increase all motors practically
q per cent over their Old ratings In ths
new rule there is change from the old
both above and below the six-inch stroke
Previously. for motors Of less than a
sx-inch stroke, in the racing class
OF boats, the formula was II. p equals

HINTS ON MOTOR BOATING
Little Tips That May Prove OF
Value to Owners,

Spark plugs should be protected from
wet eby rubber covers A short piece OF
ordinary garden hose arranged so that
one end may be closed around the con-
Quoting cable makes good cover.
Dry cells should be kept dry The
least moisture OF the pasteboard cover
ings will destroy the output OF current
stockings" made OF short sections of an
old automobile inner tube OF right size
make the best coverings for dry cells
A phenomenon not universally under
stood is that there are three waves or
swellings TO each tide, and that during
the intervals between each wave the
water may, for a few moments, run
backward at a flow sufficient TO point
the buoy the wrong way. When cruising,
il is we'll TO know the time of actual
high water, to avoid being confused by
this.
When caught offshore without a COM
pass, with a fog settling down, head the
boat for the place YOU wish TO go TO.
and then tie hshline TO the forward
staff at a height sufficient to let it trail
astern in the water without touching
the boat. So long as the line trails di-
rectly behind you will know that you are
maintaining a straight course. except for
vagares of the current, but should il
swing to one side 1t is a sign that you
are starting TO describe a circle.
The New York Motor Boat Club will
hold its annual ball at the Hotel Mar
seille on Friday evening. From all in
dications this will be one of the most
successful ever conducted by this club.

A BOAT OF QUALITY
The Hopalong Made a Good
Record for New Rochelle.

The Hopalong recently sold by Will
lam King. of the New Rochelle Yacht
Club. TO Herbert McCord, of the Indian
Harbor Yacht Club. is probably one OF
the handsomest boats OF her type afoat
she was designed by John f. Small for
the 1907 Marhlehead race and was the
first boat 10 finish that year. making a
record run which held until the year Of
the Blue Peter.
She is 81 feet over all. feet s inches
beam and feet s inches draft. and is
equipped with an 1921 horsepower
Lamb motor, which gives her cruising
speed OF ten miles an hour. Her below
deck accommodations are exceptionally
commodious for boat of her size. as
she has two berths in the stateroom for
ward TWO in her main cabin and two in
the after cabin.
While owned by william King and in
the feet Of the New Rochelle Yacht Club
she participated in a number of races

Pumps in Motor Boats.

One of the most important small parts
OF a BOAT motor is the pump. AS rule
pumps nave a very short stroke, and for
that reason the action Of the piston must
be almost perfect. II the draw Is dimin-
ished by leakage. there will be small
or no amount OF water sent through the
cooling chamber OF the motor. and the
inside surfaces of the cylinders will soon
become rough from overheating, and the
engine will act badly or not at all. Greaf
care should be used to keep the pump
up 10 its full standard Of efficiency

How stiIton Cheese Is Made.

Stilton cheeses differ from ordinary
cheeses In the method of manufacture.
Each Stilton is made in circular
mold, or vat. two feet deep and about
nine inches In diameter, perforated at
the sides and bottom. When the milk
has been turned into curd by means Of
rennet 1t is transferred into the vat,
which is lined with coarse woven
cloth, with ladle. When a thin layer
Of curd covers the bottom Of the mold
a little dry salt is sprinkled over it.
This is supposed to create the blue
mold often found in Stiltons. Then
more curd is added in layers until the
vat is full. The whey gradually drains
through the cloth and out of the i4oles
into the pan In which the vat stands.
After the curd has stood for twenty
four hours a tin disk is laid on the top
and a weight applied to hasten the
expulsion of the whey. When quite
firm the cheese is removed from the
vat and placed on shelf to dry. After
some days the cloth is taken off and
the cheese is left to ripen in a special
room. the temperature Of which never
varies.-London Answers.
