THE VIVA WON.
New DIR. Bowers Yacht Defeated the
Beatrice.

The annual challenge cup regatta OF the
Portland Yacht club was sailed on Satur-
day. IL was perfect day for racing
with light breeze at the start which
constantly increased In strength rs the
afternoon wore away. Not as many
yachts were out for the start as has been
customary In other years but there was
considerable interest manifested in the
races, especially In the result OF the race
between the schooner Beatrice and the
yawl Viva. The Viva has only recently
been changed into a yawl and the yachts
men were very much Interested to see
how she would behave In race. The
course for the first class in which the
schooner Beatrice and Viva were entered
was the customary outside course, "
miles in length The schooner got across
the line first when the starting gun was
fired at IL .53.o5 closely followed by the
yawl. In two resches the yawl and
schooner shaped their course out through
htes hip channel The. wind from the
south-southeast was continually increas-
ing ami when clear of the hsrbor good
time was made. Soon both yachts were
lost sight of from the club house. They
were followed over the course by Commo-
dore Cummings and the regatta commit
tee which consists of the commodore and
Frederick s., Vail, Charles W. Small,
Wordsworth Noyes and Nathan Clifford.
Outside stiff breeze was blowing but
only what is callet good sailing breeze
by the yachtsmen 1t was not until after
four clock that these two yachts put in
an appearance around Bug light. The
Viva was then leading by at least 10
minutes and came bowling up the har-
Dor in elegant stlye. She crossed the line
at the club houss at % IL but the
schooner did not finish until 3S.lS The
Viva had to allow the schooner %
minutes so that she won by nine minutes
and fifty seconds corrected time. The re-
suit was somewhat Of surprise to the
yachtsmen and the general opinion
seemed to be that DIR Bowers had made
no mistake when he changed the rig of
his yacht TO yawl
The schooner Beatrice was sailed by j.
II. Hamlen while DR.. Bowers who owns
the Viva was the sailing master OF his
yacht.
There was only one starter In the sec
ond class. The sloop Pelican, Capt. A.
II. Twombly, which holds the cup for this
class from last year, went over the course
as a matter of form. Edward Woodman s
Banshee, the new race-about, started
with the Pelican but did not race. The
Banshee is capable of putting up u good
race, however, and may yet be heard from
in her class.
In the third or cat boat class the sloop
Beatrice owned by l.. b. LANCE and Il. b.
Miller of Boston and the Mistral owned
by Carroll Brown were the only starters.
They both crossed the line at 1875. The
course was around House island and back
20 the club house and repeated. The Bea-
trioe finished at 2 $50 but the Mistrai
did not finish.

1t was learned from unofficial sources
this afternoon hat Assistant Superin-
tendent Hay had resigned his posi-
ton; but no confirmation of the report
could be obtained at the railroad Of
fees. The story was not denied, how
ever, and the only reply that could be
obtained was Il know nothing about
it,"
From other persons connected with
the road the story was confirmed, and
there is little doubt that the report is
true. Mr.. Hay is out on the road super
Intending the transfer of the stations
from the old line to the cutoff which
will be opened for traffic tomorrow.
The following from this mornings
Tribune shows that if the resignation
has in fact been accepted the officials
are endeavoring for some reason to
keep it quiet. The Tribune says:
"A persistent rumor is afloat around
the railroad headquarters in this city
to the effect that Assistant Superin-
tendent Hay will be'superseded on June
10 by C. A. Boies, chief dispatcher at
Laramie. who has been appointed to
succeed Mr.. Hay. Trainmen from the
west report that the resignation ten
dered by Mr.. Hay at the time of the re-
cent upheaval in official circles will go
into effect on June 10. The truth Of the
rumor could not be verified yesterday,
as the clerks in Superintendent Parks
office refused to talk, and that gentle
man Is at present UP west"
