The text Of the report is as follows:
Inc trial races held Aug 10 and 19,
| between the Aurelia and the Akela re-
suited as follows:
Cor. Time,

FIRST race ............. Aurela ........... 80
| Ihlrd race ............ Akela ............ l. 80
Fourth race .Aurelia ......... 10
s s race ........... Aurelia ........... "a
olAtn race Aurelia ......,. ,4S
The above is an arbitrary division Of trials
INTO races OF varying length being necessary
| 10 permit the committee to start the boats
| in different directions under shifting winds
The committee gives below also the cumu!a-
| tive time and results by legs The six trial
races aggregated 26 legs. All were sailed
cept one leg, on which one boat was be-
Gained, thereby falling behind three minutes.
emitting this one, each boat won eleven
legs, and the committees corrected time gives
! the series to the Akela by minutes and 6
| seconds.
After a careful examination of the facts the
committee hereby designates the Akela to
represent the White Bear Yacht club in the
races to be sailed against the Hoodlum dur
Ing the week of Aug. %.

The Akela has an advantage over the
other White Bear boats in the races, as
she has no large field to compete
against, as is the case in the other
! classes. Still, she has formidable
opponent in the Hoodlum, and there is
| strong probability that the whole
i've races will have to be sailed before
the ownership of the trophy of the In
terlake association is determined
Had the Aurelia been selected to rep
resent the White Bear club, no allow
ance would be given, as she carries
dangerously nearly 800 feet of sail,
while the Akea's area does not ex-
coed $40 feet.
In a light wind the Aurelia is in her
element, and as much can be said of
the Hoodlum. 1t is admitted that the
Hoodlum is at her best in light wealth
er, when her large sails come into good
advantage, but in a good sailing breeze
the Akela will stand the racket with
much more satisfactory result to her
sailors.
White Bear sailors are not Dragging
much over the qualities of the Akela,
yet they are not willing to admit that
the Hoodlum is the faster boat
OF course, interest centers on this
contest, and one of the things which
the race will bring out is whether the
Western style of yacht construction is
In the twenty-foot class the Mahto
has hard race against a large and
strong field. She is admittedly the
feetest light wind boat on the lake.
and will doubtless put up pretty race.
She was built this year for J. H. Skin
ner, by Amundson, and caused quite
a sensation when launched, as she
was a departure from the usual lines
followed in the construction of yachts
on White Bear.
NEW RULES ADOPTED.
meeting of several Representatives
of the White Bear Yacht club and the
crew of the Hoodlum was held held at
Ranlaley's late yesterday afternoon,
when half dozen new rules were
adopted to govern the races between
the Akela and the Hoodlum The new
rules are made up about half and half
from the code in use by the White Bear
club and the Yacht Racing Associa-
ton of Massachusetts, of which the
Hoodlum's owners are members.
But few material changes were made
Those Of the most Importance were:
All races to be IL knots. over the
minimum course twice, finishing at the
Clark street buoy.
Sails cannot be increased -beyond the
limit of the class before starting the
race
The time limit of all the races will
be 3A knots to an hour
Boats must be measured the day be-
fore the races, and must contain at the
llIlIG JUU pOuuuS uCdu WtlSnC, OF SIX
men regardless of weight.
In case any boat breaks down before
the start, or five minutes after, the
race will be declared off until the dam
age can be repaired
This rule applies only to the match
ed race between Hoodlum and Akela.
ABOUT THE VISITORS.
The Hoodlum, as she rocked at her
moorings yesterday at Ramaley's dock,
looked every inch a racing boat, and
will certainly put up a fast race. Her
sail area is about 700 square feet,
which Is larger by sixty feet than the
main sheet Of the Akela. Her large
sail is well balanced by wide beam,
and she sets quite high out Of the wa
ter.
Monoquet, of the Indiana club, is
perhaps one Of the best looking boats
entered in the competition. Construct
ed entirely of cedar, she is constructed
with very fiat bottom, and a prov
which resembles a racing shell. Her
sails are large, and the water line
comes within eight inches of her deck.
She sets as low in the water as any
boat on the lake.
Hazard, the Minnetonka craft built
a strong bidder for the championships.
strong bidder for the championship
Her qualities are well known to the
White Bear sailors.
Capt. Loves Iota, of Oshkosh, much
resembles Capt. WEIGHS Keewayden,
and is constructed along the same
lines. She has very wide beam, and
is very speedy with good sailing
breeze
We're Here, Capt. Hopkins Min
netonka boat, will give the Xenia a
fast race.
The Piskatee, the Illinois boat,has a
long overreach, setting we'll out of the
water. Has a large sail and sub
stantial beam. She is fast craft.
