The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-27
AND THIS TIME THE STICKNEY
YACHT HAD NOT THE SHADOW
OF A FOUL.
HAD FOUR MINUTES LEEWAY.
AMONG THE TWENTY-ONE
SIOOPS.
And the Third Nushka Again Car
ries Off the Prize in the Cat
Rugged Glass.

Yesterday again S. G. Stickney's new
! yacht, Tarpon, asserted her supremacy
| over the other yachts of her class on
| White Bear lake, and on this occasion
there. was no protest or question of
| foul to mar or detract from the honor
| of her victory. The regatta of yester-
! day Included four distinct classes of
| yachts. The twenty three-foot slOops,
| tWenty-one-foot. sloops, special class
sloops and cat boats and all were we'll
represented The climatic. conditions,
while not ideal, were sufficiently favor
able to permit Of excellent sport. The
wind blew directly across the lake from
Wildwood and during the early part
of the afternoon was quite strong, al
though it subsidized somewhat toward
evening. 1t was quite chilly on the
water but the racing crews seemed
not to mind the cool breezes in the
least Spectators were numerous ana
craft of all kinds lowered about the
course watching with interest the va
rying features of the contestants.
The course was from Ramaley's pa
vilion to Buoy No. 1, to the center
buoy, to Delwood, to the center buoy
again, to Buoy No. /, and back TO the
pavilion, the distance being eight ana
half nautical miles. For the nrst
time was observed the recent change
in the rules which provides for NY
ing start in all races, and owing 10
misunderstanding of this fact Dr. NC
Laren, skipper of the Akeia, IN the
first class of sloops, lost several MIN
utes in getting away by returning for
a new start, his impression being that
time would be taken as he passed the
buoy. Notwithstanding the handicap,
however, the Akela finished second IN
the race. ~i''+-''s
The cat boats were started first at
2.1O. Then came the special class
sloops, twenty-one-foot sloops and
twenty-three-f foot sloops in the order
named and five minutes apart
Of the first class sfoops Tarpon led
at the start and held that proud posi-
ton throughout the entire race. Merry
Girl was second to set under way, out
before buoy No. was reached her Jlb
was torn away, and at that point she
dropped out, leaving second place to
Corona II. By this time Akeia had
passed Alfrida and taken third posi-
ton. This order remained unchanged
till near the finish.
In the race for twenty-one-foot sloops
Siren led at the start with Falcon, Ad-
yertiser, Hornet and Minnehaha follow
inc in the order named. Before buoy
No. 1: was reached, however, FALCON
took the lead and Minnehaha and Hor-
net changed places. MinnehahA gained
second place, but was forced to reI1n-
ouish it again to Siren. Falcon held
the lead to the end, but at the finish
Siren was a close second.
There were only three of the special
class sloops, but. this race was in some
respects the most exciting of all. Mel
ka was first to cross the line with Mo
lave second and Croppie third. AT
buoy No 1 Croppie had taken the
lead and this advantage she held I'M
til the last leg, when she became un-
manageable and fell back to third
place, Nelka finishing first in two
hours thirty-seven minutes and ten
seconds.
The cat boats passed the starting
buoy as follows: Alerta, Pastime,
Nushka. Bonita, Esmeralda. AT buoy
No. 1 Pastime led with Nushka III.
close second, Bonita third and Esme-
ralda fourth. Alerta had dropped into
the rear position and there she con-
tinued until she dropped out on the
last leg Of the course.
At the Dellwood buoy Nushka III.
had taken the lead and this position
she held to the end, Pastime finishing
second, Esmeralda third and Bonita
fourth.
Following is the summary of the
races:
