THE WINNERS.

| Cats, Aurelia, White Bear
One Raters, Witch, White Bear
There was no single concomitant
| lacking yesterday at White Bear lake
| to make the second day of the inter-
| laken series an unequivocal success
from a yachtsman's point of view, es-
| pecially If that yachtsman be White
Bear man, for each event was won by
| boats of the local club and in a rea-
sonably good stiff breeze. The st. Paul
men prayed for a good blow, and their
Minneapolis brethren as we'll preferred
plenty of wind for the real test. The
| wind came in good shape, blowing out
| of the south to begin with at the rate
of from ten to twelve miles an hour,
and later on in the afternoon even
harder with plentitude of stout puffs
Commodore Griggs' fleet Akela admin
| istered second drubbing to the crack
Wizard from Minneapolis, winning the
| necessary two of the series, while the
BigeloW one-rater, Witch, duplicated
her performance of Tuesday, and hand
ed the Minnetonka special Gladrene an
eloquent exhibition of how to sail one
raters in good full sail breeze.
DR.. Welch, one of the best shippers
White Bear boasts, manned the Dean
cat Aurelia to a splendid victory from
Tartar, which quite atoned for the de-
feat of Tuesday, and thereby won the
plaudits of the true yachtsmen, who
always stand for hard gamey sailing
The sentiment among the defeated
Minnetonka yachtsmen was best ex-
pressed at the social gathering after
the days sport, by Capt. Fred Hopkins,
of Gladrene, who explained that if they
must be beaten and beaten from start
to finish, and badly at that, he was
glad that the victory was wrested from
them by as clever a set of fellows as
the salts of the White Bear Yacht club
The demure maiden who thought 1t
unfair to win every event the opening
day, took her bearings yesterday, and
felt that her gallant White Bear
friends were justified in taking every
thing in sight, if they could sail away
with it-and it appeared they could
and did. The feeling that the day
would be a Minneapolis day brought
forth the same interesting contingent
over in the ST. Paul & Duluth special

burg district are beginning 20 assume a
serious turn. The miners of the district
have become tired of temporizing, and, aft
or the want and hunger they have been
subjected to, are in a state Of desperation,
which, if called upon to assert itself, will
bode no good
The miners officials have come to the
conclusion that there is O crisis near at
hand and will make final effort to ward
off any trouble that seems to be imminent.
The basis of their claim is that the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company is
the cause of the trouble. In this claim they
are, in great measure, sustained by a
large number of coal operators, who say
they cannot advance the price Of mining
so long as the New York and Cleveland
company competes in the market against
them at ruinous prices.
The plans for final conference Of Oper-
ators and miners, at which there will be
given an ultimatum, are being arranged,
and it is hoped 10 bring all the interested
parties together. 1t is expected TO reach
the offending company through a third
party, who is said TO have much influence
