Aeolus, being the win- ner of the Macdonough cup, and Speed well of the Delegates cup, all the tro- phies go to Tiburon.
 The South Bays were greatly nsap- pointed that the sloop Papoose did not arrive in time to take part in the regatta E. Stone, the builder at Hunters Point, had promised to cut her down rom the thirty-foot to the twenty-five foot class and to have her in good trim for the race. Thinking that he had reduced her sutti- ciently he did not measure her until the morning of the 9th. Then, finding that she was still more than twenty live rect in racing length he had to do more work uDon her. so that she was not ready 10 start for the city till Il a. m ana was unable to reach the starting line III t@lIhe. @ The South Bays would like to see race between the best twenty-five footers or all the clubs. The sloop Ecu Follet mas returned to Alviso after an absence or two months at Pacific Grove ana santa Cruz The schooner Dawn will leave ID a few days for cruise to Sutsun Bay.
