Inc Whlte Bear Yacht club was ia
vored yesterday with a good wind for
the races, but the mishaps that have
seemed to be inevitable at its events of
This year played a winning part again.
A stiff and chilly breeze prevailed from
the south-a day more suited for
weather-proof salts than pleasure
seekers.
There were but two races, only the
Hornet showing up for the second class
sloOp event.
In the race for frst-class sloops the
Wollypog won, thus making a tie with
the Columbia and Katy D for the Com-
modore's cup.
The Aurelia won the catboat race,
thus settling the ties and winning the j..

quickly in line. the Wollypog coming
up to the scratch q few moments later.
The Osito was a little slow in coming
up but Joined the other sloops just
as the signal for the start was
given. The Columbia slowly sailed
away on starboard tack at 2:l5:29, fol-
lowed twenty seconds later by the
Wollypog. The Katy D was farther

port tack to ave a point at the start.

her bow close in front. The Columbia,
in trying to avoid running the catboat
down, upset, sending her crew ito the

redeemed itself for it's impudence by
rescuing the crew of the Columbia.
The Wollypog, discovering the mis-
fortune of the Columbia, sailed leisurely
under the lee of the peninsula, fixed
her %spinnaker, and then sailed majest-
