probably led to friction with the Siamese
authorities, who. perhaps. overstepped
the usual legal methods in trying to get
rid of him. No American warship has
been to Bangkok for several years and
while Minister Barrel has been we'll re-

as much respect for the American flag as
for that of either Great Britain or France.

the quartette kept to the left and we'll
down into the lower bay. His judg-
ment was found good when the boats
came about and neared each other
prior to rounding the buoy for Wild

men who knew the boat felt that she
could never again be headed in the
race. Something seemed the trouble
with Wizard, who apparently was I'M

of whom were upon her, and the three

came about on the other tack she was
found to have materially the best of it,
while Akela was kiting away across
the lake with a commanding lead over
everybody. AS in the case the day be-
fore, the White Bear trio led the way

Although the results in the sloop and
one-rater classes are known, there vet
remains the decision for the supremacy
among the cats, and the race this after
noon promises to be as exciting as any
yet held in the series. 1t is expected
that the start will be made about the
same time as usual, and the fact that
each cat has won race out of the two
will serve to Whet interest in the final
struggle. The train arrangements will
be the same as on the previous days.
and a large crowd of interested specta-
tors will no doubt witness the event.
AT THE BANQUET.
There were covers laid for nearly a
hundred yachtsmen at the Ramaiey
pavilion for the dinner given by the
White Bear club for the officers, ex-
commodores and committeeman of both
organizations. The sailors sat down at
$50, the past commodores of the two
clubs being seated together at the head
of the table. The dinner was as Jolly
as it was informal, and Col. w. W.
Price, under whose direction it was
provided for the committee, won the
eEcomiums of his friends in the club.
The walls were hung with many pen
nants won by the clubs yachts in years
gone by, and the tables were literally
garnished with flowers. Capts. Fred
Bigelow and Fred Hopkins, of Witch
and Gladrene, occupied chairs next to
each other, while Capts. WEIGH and
Peet did the same at one end of the
long table.
Over at another end Gus" Amund-
son, of White Bear, and ANDY" Peter
son, who has deserted White Bear for
the big lake, the two builedrs, chatted
together about their various triumphs.
Capt. Griggs contented himself with
sitting among lot of dignified commo-
doreS and accommodates.
Walter Morton acted as POSTMASTER.
and when the last courses were reached
called on eX-Commodore Dean for a
brief welcome to the guests. This Mr.
Dean did very gracefully, and was an
swered on behalf of the Minnetonka
men by Commodore Brooks, who paid
the White Bear sailors high tribute, not
only for their boats and sailing, but
for their hospitality. He proposed three
cheers for White Bear, and they were
heartily returned from Minnetonka
