Yesterdays Yacht race at Whlte
paor was almost devoid of incident.
The weather was overcast and gloomy
the kind of weather that sets men
TO swearing, and women to nagglng--
the wind was south southwest, with
an estimated velocity Of five miles an
hour. The Alfrida, Hornet and sal
" B won as usual, the same OLD story.
The most important incident Of the day
was one apart from the race proper
The meeting Of the executive commit
tee. consisting of Commodore Dean
and Messrs. H. T. Drake, ..
L. Taylor, s. c. stickney and
F. r. Bigelow. At this meeting,
which took place Immediately after
the race, it was decided to allow the
owner Of the Sally B to change her
name to Nushka III, the number given
on account of two former cat victors
sailed by Capt. Elmer under that
name in past seasons. 1t was also de-
cided to send the Alfrida to represent
the White Bear club at Minnetonka
Aug. 25 in Class A. the first-class
sloops, and the Nushka Ill in Class c,
the first-class catboats. Great excite
ment was shown in this meeting, and
tent on talking over the race as Is
usual. In the catboats the Sally B
started first, eight seconds ahead Of
the Pastime. They were close together
when they turned the center buoy the
third time, but the Sally pulled
gradually away and passed the line
at finish three minutes thirty-nine
seconds ahead Of her rival. The poor
little red dog Of Jean Ramsey's, cap
tain of the Pastime, thrown out to as
sist the progress, swan disconsolately
to shore, as If to deplore the utter use
lessness Of sacrifice. What is to be
will be-" said his little red tail, land
I've had all this swim for nothing"
The Alerta, A M. brakes pretty craft,
starting fifth, came in third, seven
, minutes twenty seconds behind the
Pastime at the finish, by actual time
five minutes thirty-fve seconds. The
Bonita twenty seconds behind the
Alerta in starting, drew out Of the race
before crossing the line at finish. She
was sailed by Sam Appleton alone,
which put her at disadvantage. The
Esmeralda, c. F. Mahler's boat, did
not finish also, dropping out before
turning the Ramaley buoy. The
GrayIing held fourth place all through,
two minutes twenty-seven seconds be-
hind the Alerta at finish and two min
utes forty-nine seconds actual time.
A peculiar feature of the race of
Class B sloops was the change in posi-
Gon of the Hornet. Starting last, she
gained steadily, overtaking the Ad-
Vertiser. which started second and
leading her at Wildwood buoy, where
the Osito was still in the van. At
Ramaley buoy the Osito was still
ahead, but was disqualified at this
point by turning the buoy on the wrong
side, and the Hornet took the lead be-
tween the Ramaley and center buoys.
The order after that until the finish
was Hornet Osito, Siren and Falcon.
The Advertiser having withdrawn from
the race shortly after passing the
Ramaley buoy. The first-class sloops
had very quiet race, never changing
their relative. positions from start to
finish. Before turning the home buoy
the first time the Corona fell a few
seconds to the rear, while the Kathleen
lost several minutes, but from that to
finish the distance between the leader
and the Corona increased, while the
Kathleen remained about the same dis
lance behind the Corona. On the re-
turn to the home buoy from Wildwood,
fifteen boats were"1n one straight line,
making a most attractive picture.
George Langford, the stroke Of the
Yale crew at Henley, in Mr.. Wann's
Z shell, showed his skill in rowing, by
passing the fastest boats as they left
the home buoy.
The judges yesterday afternoon were
Charles Stees and r. B. Delano. The
prizes were as follows: Glass A. com
modore's cup; Glass B, pennant Glass c.
Island cup. The Grayling and Alerta
have each won one race for the latter
this season.
