MInnetonka yachtsmen are looking for
ward with the keenest anticipation to the
annual cruise of the ,Minnetonka club,
which will be held Saturday. This event,
while 1t does not figure in the seasons
championship contest, has always been
one OF the most enjoyable events of the
year from the standpoint of both sport
and society. /, II
:, A general invitation is extended to all
yachts on the lake to participate in this
cruise, and all power launches also are
invited to take part. A special pennant
will be awarded to the winning boat in
each class, and standard United States
pennant will be given to the most hand
somely decorated launch. ~ . -%tS

each yacht will be required to carry at
least one lady. The start will be made
at 1880 Saturday morning from the
Yacht Club house. -. ! -~ 49,.

cruise, and the handicaps for the day
probably will not, be announced until Sat-
urday morning, as they Will be deter

Great interest has been manifested in
the cruise, and there is every indication
that it will bring out the largest fleet
of boats that has participated In any
event Of this season at Minnetonka.
The result OF yesterdays trial races to
select defender for the Sewanhaka cup has
left the committee OF the Royal st. Law
renee Yacht club in a pretty well-satisfed
condition..
Duggans new creation won both Of the
races sailed yesterday, defeating senneville,
last years defender, in both by very COM
Portable margin. The new boat, which is as
yet unnamed; sailed with only two of her
centerboards, the middle one having been
taken out as useless. There was moderate
breeze blowing. Following were the results:
First race, to windward and return,
elapsed time-New boat, 35:32; Senneville,
37:o3 Thorella, 37:12: Osna, 1888.
Second race, triangular course, elapsed
time-New boat, 1920; osma, 4s:51; senne-
Vile, 52:25: Thorella, 52:36.
Interest in the .interlake yacht races at
Put-in-Bay yesterday again centered IN the
contest between the 35-footers, Cadillac, De-
Sroft and Eva. The wind was from eight to
ten miles an hour, with a light sea.

Dan Patch, the unbeaten PAGER, clipped

RYAN HAS A TOUGH TASK
Many Followers Of Pugilism Believe
He Will Meet His Match in
Kid Carter.

Matters promise to become lively in
boxing with the next two weeks. Mon
day Kid Carter and Tommy Ryan will
meet In the ring at Fort Erie, and will
go for twenty rounds, or as much of that
as one of them may desire. Many peo-
pie who have looked the matter over
profess belief that Ryan Is up against
it. So many of them have been up
against 1t, then came out in the same
old wagon top-that there are many
who feelthat Ryan wills UNFOLD his rep
utation and defend the title of middle
weight champion.
Carter is very hard game-the hard
est Tommy Ryan has tackled in many
moons. He will not be told when he
Is whipped, but must be shown, and
there have been fights in which Ryan
hesitated to carry the milling in. Should
Thomas show the slightest inclination
to weaken, he will find Carter all over
him, for the tall fellow knows no fear and
uses both his gloves Carter Is one of
the few men who made Joe Wolcott
look for a hole in the canvas. He wal
Hoped and clouted the colored man until,
In terror Joe handed him one below the
belt and lost the fight on a foul. Ryan
and Wolcott never met. There are those
who think Tommy sought to avoid VOL
colt. Carter nauled the agile Mccoy
all out Of shape, and the clever Hoosier,
when he got a chance at Ryan, made a
show of him. This is not a whole lot
to go on, however, but it looks now to
many as though Ryan would lose to Car
ter. ..
Press agents of McGovern and Young
Corbett seem to have had a vacation.
The best they could do last week was to
scare up ball game between mines. with
one of the stars on each side.- Those
who tell and send out stories from the
fighters camp will no doubt become
wrapped in work this week. MCCOY
ern is still full of hope and is gathering
friends. He now has the chance of a
lifetime. It comes his way to do some
thing which no other fighter has ever
done-regain the championship, once
having lost it. = -

BET ON YOUNG coRRETT
New York Men Pick Denver Lad to Win
from McGovern.


Terry McGovern and Young Corbett
are now settled in their training quarters
at Cincinnati. They are close enough
together to meet occasionally and the
training spell is being made quite an oc-
casion. From the standpoint Of the
fighter there is probably no better place
in the country for a training camp than
Cincinnati. In the first place the local
papers are flight crazy" They TEEN
with all sorts Of gossipy matters about the
boxers, and it is so much better than the
kind of press agent stuff recently dealt
out from San Francisco that it affords
relief All of this, of course, is excellent
advertising for the fight, and there is no
place where a bout between champions
can get quite so much boosting as in Gin
cinnati Cincinnati gets the men during
the training period and Louisville gets the
fight, which is a happy arrangement for
the fight followers along the Ohio river.
The fight is still several weeks off and
there has been no betting onA the result,
although Terrible Terry is said to have
desire to wager about $4,000 on himself.
1t looks as If there would be more money
offered on McGovern than on the cham
pion. The latter has practically nothing
of his own, but his Denver admirers will
probably come to the scratch at the prop
err time. Strange as it may seem the
greater part of the money wagered on
Corbett before the Hartford fight came
from New York, where the men who Of
fered it are we'll acquainted with Meow

WHICH IS THE FASTER?
Many Horsemen Think Wagon Is
as Fast as, or Faster Than
the Sulky.

Recent trotting has brought out many
interesting facts, one Of which is the
clOSeness with which the modern trotting
wagon approaches the sulky, If it does not
actually surpass it as a speed implement.
Lord Derby trotted in 2:05A at Brighton
Beach, to a wagon, driven by an amateur;
the next week, at Readville, he is defeated
to sulky in the same time, though driven
by a professional of great skill. York
Boy driven to wagon by an amateur, won
handily in 2:0874, time which was too
much for him in the hands of a profess
sional expert, when driven to sulky few
days previously. These are only two in
stances which Indicate that the modern
trotting wagon is as fast as the modern
sulky. There are many others pointing in
the same direction. '-.- .-.T - t1.->
The bicycle wheel ons either vehicle re-
moves friction to a remarkable degree,
and while the wagon, If Of comparative
strength, must always be slightly the
heavier vehicle, the distribution of the
weight between four points Of lighter con-
tact with the ground, instead Of two points
Of deeper pressure, eases the earth fric-
ton materially upon a track covered with
a cushion Of loose dirt, which Is condi-
ton aimed at in race meetings. But
probably the chief advantage of the wagon
Is i'll facilitating the horses efforts to poise
himself in way to obtain the best speed
for the amount of vital energy expended.
The poise is mainly instructive to the ami
NAL and while it may be assisted by
proper "balanctng' appliances as deter
mined by careful experimentation, he
must have practically a free hand to pro-
| duce his greatest achievement.
| One, and an important condition that
| defeats the efforts of the horse to poise
| himself most effectively, is the distribute
| ing variation of pressure which the sulky
throws upon his harness girth with each
jolt caused by change in position or atti-
tude Of the driver. The wagon balances
itself, which the sulky does not. The
shafts Of the wagon are very light, and
being loosely hinged on, carry no stiff bal
ancing pressure like those of the sulky,
and their weight and motion being uni
| form, they are quickly taken into account
by the horse who accomp odates himself
to them, and knows just what to count
upon at each stroke; whereas the sulky
which is not self-balancing like the wagon
asserts a swaying pressure, which is con-
tinually bothering the horse with new and
unexpected movements to hold his poise
| against.

Audubon Boy a Great Horse.

Audubon Boy seems to have taken the
Of all the PAGERS in the 2:04 class,
and probably the only PAGERS out now
that he cannot beat are Dan Patch, 2:04A,
and Prince Alert, 2:00%, and he can give
either of those horses a respectable race.
His new record of 2:03A taken last week
makes an even fifteen PAGERS which have
now taken records faster than 2:04. Dan
Patch having been the fourteenth. Four
teen of the fifteen are bred in ,trotting
lines, so far as is known Of their near
crosses, and nine trace directly to George
Wilkes; three, Dan Patch, 2:0OA; Coney,
1902, and Audubon Boy, 2:03A. being in
bred to that horse. The pacing bred one
in the lot, Star Pointer, 1:59A, heads the
list, but judging from Dan Patch's per-
Torrance at Readville last week, he. is in
great danger of being dethroned whenever
the son of Joe Patchen starts to make a
new record with all conditions just IA
vorable.

Then, with her prayer book wrapped In snowy.
