THE NO NAME WON
In the White Bear Regatta, but a
Protest Was Entered.


For many weeks the White Bear
Yacht club has been trying to have a
perfect regatta on the lake. There are
many fine yachts there and still more
good sailors. A number of races have
been booked, and the course has been
sailed over every Saturday, but
on nearly every occasion there
has been some sort of hitch.
Either there was too much wind !;
or not enough; then there were not
enough boats entered. And so it has
gone. Yesterday. however, was an
ideal day. Charming girls in neat sail.
ing costumes lined the shores, chatted
of the events soon to take place, and
wagered gloves and boxes Ofgum on the
result. Among the members OF
manifested, and the neat uniforms
Gus sail and row boats glided over the
smooth, CLASSY water bearing loads of
yachting enthusiasts. The race was for
a penant offered by the club. The wind
was fine, giving promise of firSt-class
race, and the spectators and participants
were not disappointed. The boats
gradually got into line, and at 4:1S,
when the signal for starting was given,
they got away in good shape. The
regatta committee was absent, and A.
+. Leaman. Joseph Dingle and Capt.
Boynton were selected as judges. They
selected Donnelly's naptha launch,
don QuiXote," as the stake boat, and
she steamed away to the starting point,
which was a buoy off Lake Shore.
When the signal to start came,
eight boats were ready to start, as fol-
lows: Eugene Rama]ey's No Name.
cat, sailed by Eugene Ramaley; the
cat Mary Ann, belonging to and
sailed by Capt. earning; Capt. Hewett's
cat Zilica; the sloop Fortuna, by DIR.
Welsch; the cat Marguerite, by Capt.
Taylor; the sloop Lucy Park, by J.
Howard Ramaley; the slOOp Lady
Laura, by F. A. Ramaley; the cat Mas
colt, by Capt. Harlings. The Zilica
was the first to cross the line, going
over at 4:161a, closely followed by the
Mary Ann and the No Name. The
others crossed in a bunch.
As soon as the line was
crossed the No Name took the
lead and held it easily all the way
around the course, which was one of
eight miles. starting from Lake Shore
to DellwOod, thence to the lower end OF
the lake and back to Lake shore. The
No Name sailed over the course in one
hour and eight minutes. There was a
pretty race between the Mary Ann
and the Zilica. and until near
the finish it was hard to tell
which one would win. There was
also some pretty racing between the
other yachts. The boats all used light
sails and spinakers, except the Mary
Ann, which did some remarkable sail
ing for her canvas. The No Name
crossed the line at :2S, the Mary Ann
at 5:36$l. the Zilica at $685. and the
Fortuna at Sag.
Capt. Elmer'S Nushka was prevented
from taking part in the race on account
of an accident that befel her last Satur-
day.
There was some little kick among the
members on account of several of the
captains carrying professional sailors in
yachts, as the clubs constitution states
that all boats participating must be
sailed by. their owners. A protest
against awarding the pennant to the No
Name was filed on these grounds. The
committee has called special meeting
for Wednesday afternoon, when this
and several other questions will be up
for final settlement.
