to make the event one Of pleasure to
those who visit Minnesota from other

confident of the qualities Of their

ness for the big races with the excep-
ton OF the selection Of Judges and
timekeepers to represent the White
Bear club. A meeting will be held at
Ranaley's this afternoon when the
race officials will be selected
1T Is expected that almost fiftv WIS.,
1ting yachtmen will be ENTERTAINERS
during the week by the White Bear
tars. And, it Is asserted, even
the Earliest Of the visitors cannot dis
count the White Bear sailors, as MANY
or them have already assumed rolling
gaats, and become possessed of all the
nautical technique Of the drink. On
tuesday evening a ball will be given
at Ranaley's in honor of the visitors.
1t is expected that 1t will be quite a
society event, as previous events of
this nature have proven. The follow
ing have the affair in charge: e. H.
Morphy, Howard Wheeler, T. L. Wann.
w. j. Drfscoll. F. D. Monfort w. S.
Morton and W. w. Price Seibert's
band will furnish music for the occa-
sion, and a large number Of Society
folk will go out from the city on the
evening train, returning on a special
at II o'clock.
Ihe cruise around the lake tomor-
row In company with the twenty-five
racing craft of White Bear escortine
the competitors from other waters will
countless be interesting. as it will give
White Bear people a chance to study
the cut of the sails and general make
UP Of yachts built for other waters
Besides being in the nature Of a well
come, it will give those who sail the
competing boats a chance to famil-
iarize themselves with the course over
which the races are to be sailed.
The races will all be for the cham
pionship and beautiful trophies and
remnants. The Iuterlake association
offers for the winner in the twenty
foot class a large solid silver loving
cup, and to the winner in the seven
teen-fcot class a solid silver cup with
silver handles. The White Bear club
offers a fine cup for the winner Of the
race between the White Bear boat and
the Hcodlum. Benjamin Carpenter,
secretary Of the Inland Lake Yachting
association and an eminent and
enthusiastic yachtmen, offers hand
some pennants to the boats who come
in second in the races.
There is no probability that either of
the races will be decided in five heats,
because Of the large and fast field.
Racing will doubtless continue every
day next week.
