The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-19

will not sail race on that day and that
fact was announced when the date was
first fixed by the regatta committee. A
meeting of the regatta committee will be
held tomorrow evening, and it has been
suggested that the race take place on Adj
mission day.
Commodore Leonard objects to any
change in the time and has declared that
the race will take place on the 31st, even
if the Sueno has to go over the course
alone. It seems that Ell Sueno is a puzzle
to the captain of the Queen. and the free
for-all race of the Encinal Yacht Club has
caused him to change his mind on having
a sure thing, Ell Sueno has had her bow
spirit shortened, and the double-head sails
have been replaced by one jib. For light
sails she has added forty-foot balloon
lib, an enormous spinnaker and an assort-
ment of topsails.
4 1O-inch skag, weighing over 100
pounds, has also been added. In her last
speed trial she went where she was pointed
and covered the course in as fast time as
has ever been sailed. Her best showing
was made on the windward work, which
was surprise, as in all previous races she
had shown herself to be very tender in
that direction. The course over which the
race will be sailed has more reaching than
any other kind of sailing, and much will
depend upon the crews.
