This was an easy win. Both boats
were evenly matched, but before the
race was over the two life-saving crew
men proved that they knew the course
and the current better than their op-
ponents and their advantage in this re-
spect was added to by beautiful stroke
sustained slteatnly throughou.. At the
Clatsop Mill they were four leagths
ahead, and they rounded THE buoy with
glp of fu.ty double this distance sep
arating them from the Asaor:n boys.
The latter mads bad turn and lost an
other two lengths through the mistake.
The home run was a procession and the
leaders won as they liked in "a minutes
2915 seconds, nearly minutes ahead of
the home boat.

Columbia milking close race for fourth

order on the first run around, the Col
umbia and Hustler making very pret-

of HuStler'S dock. On the second time
round all the positions were materially
changed. All the Booth canns cry the Pa

stretch for home these two boats took
the lead. The Pacific kept well ahead
but could not shake off the Hustler,
which had 1 min. 80 Sec measurement
allowance on her. They finished very
close ito the leader, so Close, indeed, that
counting her surplus of time she won

There We're twelve sloops entered for

sight as they stood away from the
flagship on the first leg The Mayfiower
and Columbia were the hottest 'flvorites,
and THE outcome Justified the confidence
of their supporters in their sailing quail
ities. The boats crossed the line on the
start in the following order: Mayfiower,
Pearl, Nalad, Florence, Sailor Boy, Col
umIbla, Indy Madge, Blue Jay, A. r. G.,

There was a greet deal OF excitement

believed THAT the Sanhorn was. able to
beat her in the stiff breeze that was
blowing. They crossed the line-Grace,
Alice, Salmon Hunter, Sanborn, and Hat

ly half way round the first course, when
the Alice overhauled the Grace and took
the lead. Making the thdrd tack the
