boats being like babies, whom none
but their own mothers can tell apart.
The mandolin orchestra stationed upon
the lower verandah was then called
upon, and executed pleasing pro-
gramme, beginning with the ave

with curious Hungarian variations,
was much admired. Joseph Dingle,
the builder of the winning sloop, was
accidentally left behind, to his great
disappointment, but his spirits were
cheered by the warm appreciation ac-
corded to his magnificent bass solo,
'Maggiore Grande," from ''Doni-
zetti." During the intervals of the
music much interest was excited by
the skillful maneuvering of his little
canoe Frija by Capt Nels Svendrup,
of Marquette, Mich, who appeared on
the lake before the club house in the
tiny vessel in which he has three times
traversed the Great Lakes from Du
luth to Buffalo. That the club mem
bers do not confine their skill to yacht
sailing was evinced by the great fish
erman's feat performed by NJ. j.
Boyle. From the height Of the upper
verandah the water of the lake is
easily visible in the early spring for
considerable distance from the shore.
Detecting the shadow of a large fish
"close in,'' Mr.. Boyle adventurously
cast out with a small minnow upon an
ordinary bass line, and, to the delec-
tation of the children and the horror of
the ladies, he hauled upward, into the
sacred precincts of the judges stand,
an enormous pickerel, weighing, ac-
cording to Steward Fielding's scales,
9 pounds and 10 ounces.
Upon the water the interest of the
races lay, soon after the start, in the
struggle for second and third place.
The cats were led by the Neko, with
Petrol second, Aurelia third. Within
a quarter of mile the commodore's
boat had forged ahead, and there she
remained, with little fear of defeat
from anything in the rear. The Nush-
ka sailed splendidly, and, although an
old boat, she proved that the new lines
are by no means an incontestable ad-
vantage in the cat class.
The Falcon, Storm King and Loon
got away in bunch. At the first
Duoy the storm King secured the lead
by a quarter of a mile, and held it
until the finish. The Hornet, which
started an eighth of mile behind the
Falcon, was fortunate enough to
despair not, and she came in second.
The champion Columbia headed the
first-class sloops. She was followed
by the Wollypog. These positions the
two boats kept throughout the race
Third came the Corona, then the Teal,
Katy D and Banshee. Off Ramaley's S
buoy the last two boats worked past
the Corona, and SO finished-the Katy
D being third and the Banshee fourth.
The positions noted above refer to
each boat in it's class, but it was, of
course, a pennant race for all classes
sailing together, so that the sixteen
finishing yachts arrived, upon their
return to the club house buoy, in very
close order, much as they had started,
and with the three classes decidedly
mixed.
Most fittingly the commodore's Au-
relia was the first to cross the line,
leading all the rest by three minutes
and eleven seconds. Second was ]. H.
