The boats named above are those
| which will compete at the annual in
terlake series which will this year
be held at White Bear lake, beginning
Tuesday, Aug. "a, the selections having
been made at both lakes directly after
the last Of the races, trial and other
wise, had been sailed yesterday after
noon, and the results wired from lake
to lake. The executive committee of
the st. Paul club held quite protract-
! ed session last evening in the Ramaley
pavilion, at which not only the boats
| pointed in connection with the coming
series.
The selection of the boats was based
upon the report of the committee, con-
sisting Of Messrs. l.. P. Ordway, DR..
J. M. WEIGH and H. Van Week, which
has taken into account not only the
trial races during the past week, but
the work Of the boats from the be-
ginning of the season. Their report
was adopted without any dissent. They
found that in eight races participated
in by Akela and Tarpon, the formers
average for the 81a knot course was
1890, while that of Tarpon was 1:28:14.
After a discussion of several details
connected with the boats selected, the
manner in which the crews should be
selected, etc., the executive committee
named a subcommittee of five whose
duty shall be the entertainment of the
yachtsmen from Minnetonka. This COM
mittee is made up of Arthur B. Dris-
coll, George H. Mead, T. L. Wann w.
W. Price and G. A. Reed, and will be
aided in their labors by Messrs. J. w.
Taylor, Samuel Appleton and H. Van
Week, who were named to receive the
visiting delegates to the Northwestern
convention of yachtsmen, which will
be held on the opening day of the re-
gatta. During the regatta, it is hoped
that yachtsmen from Detroit, Winnie
bago, Pewaukee, Geneva and Fox lakes
will be present and join those of White
Bear and Minnetonka in the formation
Of the Northwestern association.
For the coming series L. P. Ordway
and Tracy Lyon were named as two
out of the three members of the re-
gatta committee, the third being a
Minnetonka man.
The committee deprecated the notion
of debating the makeup Of the crews
which shall sail in the races.
The races will be sailed over the
regulation S1a knot course with the fly
ing start, and the details will be left
almost entirely with the regatta COM
mittee.
Capt. Harry Drake was authorized to
display not only the interlake cups
and pennants, but other trophies of the
White Bear club in the city this week.
The Milwaukee road will run a train
from Minneapolis, leaving there at 1
o'clock on each race day, for the bene-
fit of the Minnetonka yachtsmen.

all hands to the lake, where the races
will be started daily at 2:30.
