New Club Organized.

In spite of the morning calm and
the fears of the clubmen that the
race would have to be declared off,
yesterday proved an ideal day for
sailing at White Bear Just a short
time prior to the start slight
breeze sprang up, and by the time
the boats were off, good siX-mile
southwest wind was stirring. A
fleet of fifteen boats took advantage
of this excellent opportunity for test
ing their relative speed, with the
result that Corona, of the first-class
sloops; Hornet, of the second-class
sloops, and Grayling, of the cats,
came into port with flying colors,
each the victor in their respective
classes.
For the first-class sloops, the race
was the second heat for the Cot
Z1an cup, and as the first race was
also won by Corona she is now the
undisputed possessor of the prize.
The Dellwood cup becomes the prop
erty of Hornet, it being the object
of the race for the second-class
sloops. AS a former heat for the
cup had already been won by the
Hornet her victory of yesterday aft
ernoon closed the contest. The cat
boats raced the second heat for the
Island cup, the first having been won
by Alerta. But a third heat will be
necessary before the prize can be
awarded, for yesterdays race was
won by J. H. SINNERS Grayling.
Wollypog was the first to get off,
but almost as she crossed the line
she was struck by a sudden suuau
which so closely followed a calm that
she was unprepared, and, not having
much Roadway, she succumbed to
the shock and capSized with all on
board. The startling disaster occur
ring so early in the race was espe-
clally unfortunate, and created con-
siderable excitement. Several life
saving crews at once started in the
direction of the struggling mariners.
and the first to reach the scene of the
catastrophe was the craft command
ed by an artist. But, alas, for any
hopes of rescue entertained by the
shlpWrecked crew. An artist like a
newspaper man thinks only of his
profession, and in this instance the
artistic soul of the commander de-
manded that an instantaneous pho
tograph be taken of the capsized
boat. With this end in view, he bore
down upon the unfortunate seamen
and proceeded calmly with his art
work, utterly unmindful Of the fran

crew and ALL into a safe haven at
the club house.
The boats punched pretty well at
the start, Alerta starting consid-
erably behind. Grayling and Au-
relia crossed within three seconds
Of each other. Throughout the race
the boats all maintained much the
same positions they took in the
start. The feature of the race, how
ever, was the manner in which Ram
tley's new Teal and Banshee hung
together during the preater portion
of the race. AT nearly every buoy
they fought for position. Especial
praise is due the first named boat
for the excellent sailing qualities
she manifested, as at the beginning
of the race she was considerably be-
hind. Teal is without doubt one Of
the most promising boats on the
lake.
Corona is still sustaining her en-
viable records and is the pride of
the entire club, as well as her own
ers. 1t is expected that she will
make a great record in the contest
with the Minnetonka Yacht club. In
order to avoid jibing once around
the Ramaley buoy in the heavy
winds it has been decided to make a
slight change in the regular course,
and go to the Ramaley end of the
lake before making the Wildwood
buoy. Yesterday the new course
was sailed for the first time with ex-
cellent success.

who was ably assisted by Alex NJ.
