The yacht race at White Bear lake
yesterday afternoon had it's Hobson
ana Merrimacss in the person Of Capt.
Carl Hobson Lindquist and the moni
tor Ina. Before the bombarding fleet
couid be given the signal, the dispatch
poat nad been run out to port and sunk
IN ped OF weeds, and, had 1t not been
| LOT Inc timely action of Walter Schley
MORTON, In transferring the gallant
crew OF judges and newspaper men
TO the pleasure craft Secret, there
| would nave been no race. and many
yachtsmen from the rustic shores Of
white Bear would have been disap-
| pointed.
AS it was, the five minutes delay
only served as an incident of the race
| Inc victory of J. e. SINNERS twen-
| ty-foot sloop Mahto over the four other
boats IN the twenty-foot class was well
earned, and the Mahto only crossed the
nnlsh line in front of Ramaley's after
y weii.contested race, winning over
Wlerolng by a margin of one minute
ana hfteen seconds. Yesterdays trial
was her first in a good steady wind
ana her victory is largely due to the
excellent seamanship of Mr. Skinner
and his victorious crew
The ythree-foot sloops were
| conspicuous by their absence from the
| race yesterday. Akela has been I'M
| uefgolng repairs for some time, but
| VIII make her first appearance in her
| new tackle in the pennant race next
Saturday.
Aurelfa, however, sailed the course
yesterday, keeping the other boats
| company.
In the seventeen-foot class Xenia
! won against a field consisting of the
| Goblin, sailed by Sam Bum, and Crop
| PIE, manned by Commodore Harry
Drake. The result in this class was
| IN no wise certain until the last tack
| on the homeWard arm of the course
| when the Xenia, in rounding the cen
ter, gained slight lead, which, in
creased by four minutes over Croppie,
| the last boat to finish in this class
| Inc result of the race with the seven
teen-footers was somewhat Of a sur
| prise.
| The contest in the twenty-one-foot
class yesterday included a field of four
| and was one Of the best-sailed races
| in the kitten class ever pulled off on
! the lake. c. H. Taylor's Pastime won
by less than one minute over Capt
| q. w. Roden'berg's Jennie r. Capt.
Rodenberg sailed fine race, as did
| Capt. Van Week and Capt M. w.
| Owens, sailing the Falcon and Hornet
respectively. The result of yesterdays
| race in this class will awaken new in
| terest in the so-called twenty-one-foot
| class, which is in reality the cat class
! with very few changes in the tackle
The four boats are all we'll matched
and the races yet to be sailed will be
marked by some lively contests in this
| class.
The judges yesterday were w. S.
| Morton r. B. De Lano and w. ]. Muir
| ry. The starting gun was fired from
| the deck of Capt. Merrills Sc
cret, five minutes late, and the yachts
left the post by classes at intervals
| of five minutes.
The kittens got away first with lit
| tie between in the following order:
Hornet, Falcon, Pastime and Jennie
R. The wind was blowing good
strong seven-knot- breeze, and did not
change to any material degree during
| the race.
Scarcely had the Secrets ten-inch
| gun given the signal for the cruise Of
! the seventeen-footers than three little
| fellows crossed the line together, with
Croppe little the best of it.
In the twenty-foot class, around
which interest centers during the alb
sence of the big fellows from the game,
a good start was made, the boats get
ting off with considerable Roadway to
their advantage. After the race had
been we'll begun the gun boat Maud,
| with Capt. Young on deck, took on
board the judges, and followed the
races in the place of the marooned
| Ina.
1t was a pretty race all the way
around. At the center buoy, on the
return tack from Dellwood, the boats
rounded towards Clark street in the
following order: Mahto, Jennie R.
| Wierdling, Falcon, Xenia, Aurelia.
Hornet. Raven, Yankee, Goblin, Crop,
pie and Keewayden.
Capt. Welch, Of the Keewayden.
dropped out of the race shortly after
the center buoy had been turned, as
he experienced considerable difficulty
with the gait of his mainsail.
AT the Clark street buoy on the turn
| to Wildwood, Werdling outsailed Pas
time and the Jennie R, completing this
! arm just behind Mahto, a position
which she kept during the remainder
| of the race. The following was the
order of the boats at Clark street
buoy: Mahto, Wierdling, Pastime.
Yankee, Jennie r. Falcon, Xenia, Ra-
ven, Hornet and Goblin.
The regatta committee met aft
er the race and took up the
matter of Capt. Welchs pro-
test, on the Judges decision Of last
Saturdays race declaring it no race.
| It was claimed that the Aurelia COM
pleted the course within the time limit,
which would have made DR.. Welch's
Keewayden the winner. The regatta
committee sustained the decision of
the judges on the ground that the Au-
relia was not in the race unless she
started with the twenty-footers, and
in that event she did not complete
within the time limit, as no time al
| lowance is given in this class
