of the tiller of "tbe Kitten" in stiff
breeze, he is happy man. THE Kit
ten'' made her record at MinnetOnka.
Sam got tired, however, of beating the
MinnetOnka boats, and "sighed for
other worlds to conqner"-hence his re-
moval to White Bear. When one sails
on ''the Kitten" under Capt. Stickney
or Capt. McKechine, her other owner,
he can count on an exciting ride, for
she always sails for blood.
George Nettleton beat everyone at
rowing, and then thought he would try
and do the same thing at sailing. Early
this season his new yacht. 1.-The Mar
tha," made her appearance and won
the first race. While George has not
got sailing down as fine yet as rowing,
he is making rapid strides to the front.
If any one wants to get half-hour
lecture OH saibOats ind general, an the
Susie L in particular. just drop in on
Walter Morton and ask him how sailing
is. Capt. Morton has good boat, and
while he is somewhat new at the sport,
and sometimes makes mistakes. his
perseverance and enthusiasm insure
MIN success as yachtsman.
Though young in years, Capt. Leavitt
Corning, or "SoF' Corning, as he is
familiarly called, is old in experience.
The Mary is good boat, and with the
additional sail which he is contemplate
ing, may make a record. Capt Corning
began his career as sailor in small
boat with "leg-of-mutton" sail, and
under somewhat discouaging circum-
stances. Having a wholesome con-
tempt for storms he one day failed to
get out of the way of hurricane, and
over he went into the lake about mile
from shore. Capt. Corning foated
around for about two hours, clinging to
the bottom of the boat, and was finally
picked up about half drowned. This
experience, however, did not dampen
his enthusiasm, however much it did
his garments.
Capt. J. W. Taylor insa bowling gale
is always on hand with ''the Marguer-
ite," and the harder it blows the better
he likes it. ''The Marguerite'' is de-
cidedly heavy weather boat. She was
built on Long Island sound, and from
there travelled westward to Lake Gen
eva. and finally wound up at White
Bear. She has won several races, and,
under the right conditions. will again.
On hot summer day sail boat is
sometimes seen Skimming over the lake
apparently without a soul on board. On
drawing closer you will probably find
Capt. j. Howard Ramaleys doing away
with his head just out of sight below
the deck. But no one would accuse
Howard of being asleep in regatta.
His yacht, "the Sunshine" save for a
prediction to smash docks, is fine
boat. Capt. Ramaley has lately devoted
himself to sailing parties, and, while he
enters a race and follows around the
course, his attention is divided between
the ladies and the regatta.

the Manitou, Shadow or Bird, Capt.
Eugene Ramaley is sure to show up
near the front of race. His favorite is
the ManitOu. which last year made a
brilliant record, but this season has had
to yield to yachts of a superior model.
Just at the present time Capt. Paul
GotZian is probably the best satisfied
man in the club. Some weeks ago he
imported his yacht Queen Emma from
Forest lake, and at first she did not give
very satisfactory results, but week ago
she came to time in fine style, running
the best race of the season. Conse-
quently, Capt. Gotzian and his boat
knuchle to none.
The newest sailor in the club is How
ard GaluSha. and the newest yacht Is
his yacht, the Merry Monarch. Capt.
GaluSha as yet only assumes his title
and does not take active management,
but he is keeping his eyes wide open.
and with that old salt, Vic Richards. as
a teacher. he will soon guide the Merry
Monarch to the head of the procession.
There remains still another yacht
which should be chronicled among the
leaders. for she is certainly the most
original boat on the lakes. Capt. J. u.
Stack is man of progressive ideas in
sailing matters. His new yacht, 1.-The
Della ST." is curiosity, and her pecGl-
iarity consists in that she is all deck
and no cockpit. 1t is impossible to ship
water, yet it is matter of continual
wonder to observers why every time the
boat careens the crew do not all slide
off into the water, but as yet they have
managed to stick, although it is good
deal like sitting on the side of wall.
