THE MAHTOMEDI YACHTS.
Ideal Weather for Racing and the
Wind Easy.

Wind Easy.
The most successful days racing, and
the most interesting, too, of the Mahto-
redi Yacht club, was that of yesterday
afternoon, with breeze that blew from
light to fifteen miles an hour, and a good
number of entries in the two classes. The
weather was ideal for racing, and as the
wind was easy, the light wind boats were
in their element. Three boats did not
finish, two in the cat class and one of the
larks. The Satanic fouled the south shore
buoy on the first round while gybing, and
about the same time the Marguerite broke
her gaff. The magpie filed with water
shortly after the start and was compelled
to retire.
AT 1855 the preparatory gun was fired,
and nine cats were making ready to face
the starter Considerable jockeying was
INDUCED in for position, and when the
starting gun went off the Daisy and
Queen had a slight advantage, with the
other boats well up. Going before the
wind, after turning the Mahtomedi bay
buoy, the Queen showed a clean pair of
heels, and was followed in order bv the
Daisy, Britannia, Bonnie Castle, Satanic
and Marguerite, with the Swallow. Cid
and Mary Chase in seventh eighth and
ninth positions respectively. There were
no changes on this leg excepting that the
swallow moved into fifth place and was
steadily closing the distance on the other
bo6ts. The Queen maintained a slight
lead over the Bonnie Castle. which was
