nual regatta was thoroughly enjoyed by
several thousand spectators although the
day was not so favorable for fast sail
ing, In the morning the weather was
somewhat thick, but early in the after
noon It become clear and pleasant, and
had the wind been stronger there would
have been nothing lacking to make the
occasion successful in every respect. AS
1t was, the fish boat race, in which there
were. fifty two entries, could not be
finished within the time allowance, and
consequently had to be declared off.
The Manzanita, which took the place of

The course was twice around the tri-
angular course and the entries were:

2 Monogram.
g. Lady Madge.
Chinook.
5. Defender
G. Naiad
The Lady Madge was scratched, and |
the others crossed the line with the Naiad |
first, Lady Clare second, Defender third |
Chinook fourth, and the Monogram last |
After an interesting contest the prize |
was won by the Naiad, the Lady Clare |
second. The winners time was 8:5142 |
and the Lady Clare crossed tle line 2 |
minutes and IS seconds later
Leather's new boat, the Monogram, |
was the second to reach the finish, but |
was disqualified for failure to start with |
in a reasonable time after the signal |
gun had been fired. 1t was almost an |
hour after the other boats had started |
that the Astoria boat started, and then |
she had a great advantage over her op- |
ponents all of whom had made but lit |
tie progress owing to the light winds. |
When Leather's boat crossed the line, |
however the wind had freshened consid- |
era'bly, and she soon overhauled her |
competitors with the exception Of the |
Naiad, which was the first to complete |
the first round of the course. The Mon
ogram was allowed to finish without pro-1
test, but a formal protest was entered |
by the captain of one of the otner boats
later in the day. After taking the matter |
under advisement the judges concluded |
to disqualify the Monogram. Some little !
dissatisfaction existed, of course, over
the decision, but in order TO please every
cne the judges, at the suggestion of |
Capt. J. A. Brown, very generously a
special prize for a race for sloopS Of the
Monogram class, to be contested today.
In order that the sailing qualities of the
boats in working to windward may be
thoroughly tested, the course will be
changed considerably, and the buoy north
and west of the starting point will be-
placed further south and west. Mr.. c.
H. Cooper has also offered an additional
prize for the race, and others Of the local
merchants will probably make contri-
button this morning.

as cannery tenders and was contested by
the Mayfiower and Florence. The dis
tance was twice around the course, and

and completed the second round of the
