The skillful sailing of the sloop Ad-
vertiSer occasioned general comment.
The slOOpS were started at 800 p. m,
the Fortuna in the lead with the Wap-
sic, Advertiser, Hornet and Columbia
close together III the order named; the
Osito in the rear.~ The Storm King
broke her gatf at. the start and pulled
out. The interest centered upon the
Columbia, which soon oyerhaaled and
passed the Hornet and began to gain
on the Advertiser. Tie Hornet
tackled toward Spirit island. max
ing serious mistake. She sailed
at right angles to the Columbia
which latter tackled to windward before
reaching the point of tile PENN
sula. CHE wind was a little west of
south, and blowing at about eight TO
ten miles an hour) The Advertiser
| ran on the line on which she started
| clear up to Mahtomedi point, and then
made for and rounded the island buoy
ahead of all the other sloops. All the
! reefs had been shaken out befoae start
! ing. The feet was under full sail. and
| the breeze just filled the canvas nicely.
/ while occasional 'puffS" swept across
| from the bays.
| The excitement increased on the run
! to Wildwood, for the Columbia seemed
to skim rapidly over the tops of the
! choppy waves. and she was catching up
/, to the Advertiser. She passed the latter
just before reaching the Wildwood
buoy, and the gain was increased on the
run to Ramaley's. From Ramaley's
the Advertiser did the gaining
act. The Columbia turned the
! island buoy about 800 yards ahead
of the Advertiser, but when the latter
! turned the buoy and both were pointed
for the finish it was seen that in going
straight before the wind the Advertiser
made the best time, and the distance be-
tween these two boats was leSSened
perceptibly until they were about a
dozen yards apart at the finish.
They reached there wing AND
wing, The Columbia's jib fluttering,
though her mainSall was well
filled out, but the sails of the Advertise
caught every puff and were distended tC
their fullest capacity. 1t is still a ques-
ton as 20 which of these flyers would dc
best in heavy wind. Capt. Stack may
feel that he has secured honorS enough
for one season, but there are those wh(
have faith in his skill and ability to Sc
cure more.
