1T is being nolsed about that race over
the channel course between these two
boats will be sailed just for the glory of
the thing, to determine which is really the
better boat.
1t seems that the Fawn was somewhat
strained while being towed over to the
starting line, and as a consequence her
seams were opened to such an extent that
the cabin had water in it up to the hunks.
In this shape the boat sailed the race,
and had to keep constantly luffing to
maintain her equilibrium, as the water in
the cabin was nothing but dead weight,
and every time the boat tried to hang on,
the water seeking its level caused her to
bury herself to her cabin windows

THE WHEELMEN.

Road Races at San Rafael the
Feature of the Sport Tomorrow.
The road racing to-morrow at San Rafael
will attract many of the amateur riders
from this city and Oakland, and, no
doubt, large number of spectators from
Marin County points. There are very few
club runs called for the day, as many of
the club men have had hard week of it,
owing to the different celebrations, and a
day of rest is quite welcome.
There will be considerable road racing
during the next few weeks, but save for
the meet at Eureka on the 23d there are no
track events scheduled for the near future.
Road racing has a strong hold on the
wheelmen of this State, and the San
Leandro- Haywards course is said to be
the fastest fve-mile stretch in the world.
The worlds record for that distance was
made over it last fall. and has never been
beaten.
Robert l.. Long, one of the Bay Citys'
crack professionals, will probably not ride
on the track any more. He stated before
the Stockton meet that it would be his
