MINNETONKA

In spite of the calm which made slow sail
ing necessity the annual cruise of the
Minnetonka Yacht club, Saturday, was
great success. More than twenty-five sloops
and cat boats with twenty launches were IN
line,f and with their handsome decorations,
smartly clothed men and women, presented
most attractive picture. The scene around
the clubhouse before the start was bril-
liant one.
The course was from the clubhouse to
Chapman's, Bartlett's to Mound City, with
Wawatasso and Crane island to port. The
starting gun was fired at ii o'clock, and
there was fair breeze for nearly half an
hour. 1t gradually died down until the
judges boat, the Frolic, was obliged to tow
several Of the sloops and cats. The launches
arrived, first and the Hoodlon, the Burton
boat, was the first sloop to appear around
Cedar point, and it was after 2 o'clock when
she came in sight. e, .lS.I
There was a close contest between the
Katahdin and the Tananger for the prize,
standard United States penant, offered for
the most handsomely decorated boat. The
Katahdin, owned by Lucian Swift, was all
in white with foam-lke draperies covering
the hull and deck and wreathing the stays.
Her passengers, Mr.. and Mrs. Swift, Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Strong, Mrs. Frederick Fayram,
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Van Campen and
In contrast the .Tanger was like a flame.
Her red hull was polished until it cleaned
like fire and red flags and banners doated
from the flag poles. Garlands of red roses
festooned the canopy and a basket of red
roses swung from the bow. The Tanager car
ried Mr.. and Mrs. Anson Brooks and family
party, and was awarded the prize.
The special pennant for the winning sail
and cat boats was not awarded as the boats
were not able to complete the run on account
of the light wind, and the race was declared
off. !

iums and large deers head was under the
headlight. -.-- ..
