seawanhaka cup winner the Dominion.
ran away from the White Bear Yacht
club challenger, the Yankee, In the first
of the series of races to be sailed on Lake
st. Louis.
The wind blew lightly from the south
east at the start and freshened up as the
race progressed and died away to almost
nothing before the race was end
ed, the Dominiom crossing the
line exactly ten minates ahead
of the Yankee. The race was witnessed
by large gathering, though of course the
interest was not so great: as when the
Dominion successfully defended the Sea-
wanhaka cup.
A large gathering of ladies and gentle
men from St. Paul were present
The crews of the respective yachts were
early hard atwork upon them, getting
them ship-shape, and by 10 o'clock the
outlook was promising
Capt. 7Duggan, of the Dominion, seem
ed hopeful, and the two yachts left for
the course in tow. of the official yacht
Dana. The crews were IS follows:
Yankee-C. M. Griggs L. p Ordway
(captain), F, NJ. Douglass and J. 3. Ra-
maley.
Dominion-G. H. Duggan {captain,, ].
P. Sherwood, w. A. c.. Hamilton and
j. Boulton.
The crew of the .Yankee had trained
down to proper weight It was: Ord
way, 14s11s; Douglass, jib. 1921; Ramaley,
main sheet, 1871; Griggs, cockpit, 1421z.
THE RACE.
The start was made al 2:27, the sDo-
minion at once: taking the lead, never to
relinquish it. The Canadian boat showed
herself much superior In windward work,
most other gains being made on that leg.

lost considerable ground by becoming be-
/ calmed while the Dominion still had a
faint f1utter of wind to help her along
towards the home buoy. Following is the

VISITORS ENTERTAINED.
Yesterday afternoon the visiting yachts
men spent in looking after few details
ot0r n-t o. Id.
residence of Mr.. James Patton, the king
of Lakeside, along five miles of beautiful
roads, and back for supper They all
went but Mr.. Ramaley, who does not like
to take his eye off the boat, and ended
by falling asleep in the cockpit In the
evening they spent their. time between
the Royal ST. Lawrence Yacht club and
the Forest and Stream club the finest
country club in Canada The dinner given
to the visitors at the Royal st. Lawrence
Yacht club house Saturday night was
one of the snartest functions that ever
took place. Covers were laid for sixty
and the sentiment was all in favor Of
closer relations between Canada and the
United States. The visitors were in the
highest of spirits.
The toast of 1.-The visitors'' was ac-
claimed in a manner that made the win
dows rattle, and Mr.. w. Taylor re-
sponded with song. After him Capt
Ordway spoke. His remarks were brief,
but greatly appreciated.
It was the first time In his life, he
said, that he had drunk the health of
the queen. What his emotions were at
the moment he could not describe, but he
was conscious of a certain tingling about
the spinal cord, which caused a tingling
through his body, like that which every
loyal citizen has felt on occasions of
great national rejoicing. He was glad to
honor Britains queen for she was the
noblest woman that ever were q crown.
He expressed his qualification at the
rapprcchement of two great branches of
the Anglo-Saxon race. The Englishmen
and Americans were brothers and of the
same blood. Every American appreciat-
ed what England had done during the
late war. The day would come when
the Anglo-Saxon race would cover the
earth, when 1t might he bounded on the
north by the aurora boreals, on the
south by the equinox, and on the east by
primeval chaos, and on the west by the
day of Judgment.
Mr.. Morton also made a. few remarks.
