One of the most enjoyable features of

and everybody disagreeably moist. The
Shark crossed the line first, the Osito
but twenty seconds behind and the
Wapsie last.
Shortly after the start the Osito
forged ahead and passed the Shark,
taking the lead, which she held
throughout the race. From the start to
the finish, over the course twice, the
race was between but two of the yachts,
Osito and Shark. and was hotly con-
tested. The Wapsie, which started the
season in such brilliant manner,
brought up tue rear throughout the
race. Fortuna sailed well. but was UNI
able to keep up with the procession.
The Oslto increased her lead on the
Shark slightly toward the finish. but
the relative positions of all the boats at
the finish was practically the same as
