citation held their first free-fOr-all of the

very heavily that many of the smaller
and lighter yachts decided not to enter,
but by the time the first gun was fired
it had perceptibly diminished. The
starting gun was fired at 4 O'Clock, when
Hornet crossed first, followed closely by
Storm King within the minute. AT 4

within ten feet of Wapsie but was un-
able to pass her, though in rounding the
buoy to cross the line WapsIe sailed so
far from the buoy that Fortuna was
able to u in between her
and the buoy, close by her
side, and but one second behind.
Storm King quit and did not make for
the home buoy, but sailed from the
point of the island direct to the club
house. Hornet and Manitou gave up
after reaching the Lake shore buoy,
and proceeded home, as they were not
in it in the least sense. Merry Mon
