WON BY NEENAH BOAT.
Exciting Iceboat Regatta at Osh-
kosh for the Evening Wis
COnSin Gun.

Oshkosh. Wis, Feb. 20.ITSpecial.]-
The first of series of iceboat races for
the Evening Wisconsin trophy was sailed
off this city yesterday afternoon. The
winner was the Jay of the Neenah club,
the time being hours - minutes over
a nine-mile triangular course, three times
around. The cup will remain in Neenah
until won by some other club.
The day was an exceptionally fine one
Cor the iceyacht race yesterday and all
the fears of the iceboating fraternity
that the weather would not be propitious
for the event were dispelled when upon
arising Friday morning it was found
that the thermometer had fallen to low
point, thus causing the slush and water
which had accumulated upon the ice to
freeze and render it in excellent condi-
ton for racing and bringing out the
highest rate of speed. To add to this a
good stiff northwest wind prevailed
throughout the entire day.
The buoys which had been set few
days ago were changed somewhat Fri
day morning owing to the fact that the
stretch to the outer track crossed
track which would endanger the safety
of the yachts in getting over it. A
telephone message was received from
Neenah this morning asking whether
the race would be sailed and on the
y IL
that it would, they sent word that two
boats from Neenah would arrive in time
for the race. No word had been received
from the Fond du Lac people since the
naming of the date. but at about noon
a fleet of ten boats from that city pulled
in at the foot of Washington street.
At 2:45 the following yachts crossed
the line for the start: Col. II. 3. Har-
shaw and Husky of Oshkosh; Blizzard,
Improve, Ethelia and Rambler of Fond
du Lac: Creeper and Jay of Neenah;
Menasha and Ice King of Menasha. The
yachts were divided into two classes
first and second. The first-class yachts
were the first to get under way and they
crossed the line in beautiful style at the
raising of the white flag at the judges
stand. They We're allowed five minutes
time in crossing the line and it was a
picturesque sight to see the whitewinged
boats going down before the wind to the
outer buoy three miles distant. Only
a few minutes elapsed before the sec
ond-class yachts were got in readiness,
crossed the line and went flying after
their larger competitors.
According to rules adopted at the
Fond du Lac meeting the first-class
yachts were compelled to sail three times
around the course. but they were al
lowed five minutes over the second
class, while the second-class boats were
obliged to sail only twice around the tri-
angle. The Jay of Neenah, a second
class boat won the raca
