There was to have been a race between
four sailboats on the river yesterday after

designated, there was no wind, and those
who had assembled to see the regatta dis
persed, confident that it would not take
place. They did get started, some time
after the appointed hour, however and the
race, which proved to be an interesting one,
was witnessed by large number of people
upon the Yolo bridge and both banks of
the river The race was from the bridge
down to the gas works and return. The
boats finished in the following order: Ida
lene, Vivian, Bella, Company BIS boat, and
Evelyn. Some of the boys of Company b
claim that Churchills boat, Vivian, should
have been given first place, and theirs ac-
corded second, from the fact that the Bella
and Idalene used more sail coming up the
river than they did in lacking down, and
they won by a double spread of canvas,
which, they say, was contrary to the agree
ment made when the race was arranged.
