sent from shore. The Point Adams

In the sloop race Maud K. went over
the line first, closely followed by the
Pearl, and Mayflower. All three round
ed the first buoy nearly together. but on
the long stretch across to the North
Shore cannery, the Pearl got heavy
lead which she kept throughout. 1t
was pretty race.
On the Manzanita yesterday Captain
Gregory entertained his guests in a
royal manner stuttz band was
aboard and furnished excellent music
for the occasion. Many of the younger
members of the party danced in the
place on deck cleared for the purpose.
OF course everyone on the vessel wore
the Manzanitas colors.
The schooner race was probably the
finest and preaiest contested race OF
the day The entries were A. Booth
Packing Co.'S Grace" George & Bar
ker's Active" and S. EImore's Frank
Sanborn." At the report Of the gun,
the Sanborn jumped off with the lead,
the Grace second, and the Active some
distance behind. On rounding the buoy
at Booths the Sanborn and Grace were
abreast, and started on a rattling good
tack over to McGowan's. To the sur
prise of everybody. the boat everybody
thought was not in it, came up like
a second vigilant and took the lead.
From this point to the end Of the race
The Sanborn and Active jockeyed each
ether and allowed the Grace to make
her own way. Rounding the stake boat
at McGowan's the Grace led by over
two minutes, and increased this lead in
the run over to Fort Stevens by fully
three minutes more. and eventually won
by eleven minutes. the Active and San
born coming in together, the Sanborn
slightly ahead. Booths boat was ham
died in an exceptionally good manner,
and although abSIat equal to the Active
in reaching and tacklng, Is far their
before the wint Next Mon
day they race again with probably the
additional boats Salmon Hunter and
Kinney" and we look for the Grace
to again romp home an easy winner.
