sBAMANsHIP WON.
When the United States revenue cut
ter Fessenden fired a salute of fifty
guns at 7:30 O'Clock this morning there
was wholesail breeze blowing from
the southwest and the conditions were
more satisfactory for yacht race
than have ever favored Milwaukee on
preceding occasions when yachtsmen
have visited here for the purpose of
measuring the speed of their craft on
Lake Michigan. The wind was not
wholly satisfactory, however, to all the
shippers, notably those on the small
sioops and canoes, as 1t was puffy and
kept the mosquito fleet heeling over
and the crews on the alert.
For the schooners and fin keel sloops
llie WlHu COuIu not dow TOO StrOnS, ana
they raced around the outside course
at terrific rate of speed.
The victory Of the White Bear yachts
Akela and Torpedo was fairly gained
by some magnificent seamanship on
the last leg of the course. 1t was a
beat to windward, and in these maneu-
vers the st. Paul yachtsmen out-gen-
eraled the Milwaukee and Oshkosh
shippers. The famous Cleaner, Of Osh-
kosh, was beaten eleven minutes by
Akela, and Torpedo vanquished the
hitherto unbeaten Vanduara in one of
the prettiest finishes ever seen ON Lake
Michigan. ~ =
The course for, schooners and classes
B.. G and d was triangular, seven and
one-half miles, two and one-half miles
to leg and twice around. The course
for classes p and F was once around.
The special classes H, I and and sail
ing canoes went over a triangular
course inside the breakwater, one mile
to each leg. The rules Of the Inland
Lakes Yachting association governed
the regatta.
The ST. Paul yachtsmen will compete
In the lake Michigan Yachting associa-
tion's regatta on Monday.
