His Statement Concerning the Meta
w" in Casino Races.
The sailing committee of the At
lantic Yacht Club has before it the
settlement of the award of honors in
the Casino regattas. Capt. Westcott
claims the cup for the Meta W. In
reference to the protests and various
claims concerning the races he made
the following statement yesterday to
the Morning News:
Il wish to say for the benefit of my
friends that 1 have sailed the Meta w.
in six races this season. I have finish
ed first in five, defeating all COMPETE
tors from 80 minutes to an hour. In
one race which the Mai B. won, 1 die
not compete at all. One race was taken
away from me because they claimed I
sculled my boat with my rudder. IL
this race finished alone. The judges
said they could not see how my boat
would go against the tide with no
wind apparently, while the other boats
had to anchor. 1 did the same trick in
races before. My boat, in the presence
of judges and spectators, kept going
down the river TO the buoy while the
other yachts could not follow at all. l
am satisfied that this performance will
satisfy both judges and spectators that
my boat can go when the others can
not.
The fact is the other yachts are not
in the same class with the Meta w. in
light weather, and 1 do not think in
any kind of weather 1 am sailing un-

rule of the Savannah Yacht Club

am willing to let any yacht club, prop

satisfied to refer it to any yachting
journal for decision. The rules are
perfectly plain and easily construed by
parties. l claim that I have

races by more than 80 minutes. In one

RAN AMUCK IN EMMETT PARK.
TagEart & Co. Called on to Answer
for an UnFuIy Mule


Only one of the three firms on the
information docket for violating the
city ordinance by driving across En-
met Park appeared in Police Court
yesterday to answer to the charge
against them. This was the firm of G.
1. Taggart & Co. The offense docketed
against them was not the driving of
one OF their wagons across the park
but for allowing a mule belonging to
the firm to run amuck on the much
talked-about grass plot.
A member of the firm, present at the
trial, explained to the recorder that
they were in no way responsible for
the actions of the mule in breaking
the law. They had chained him Sc
curely some distance from the park,
but the animal becoming frightened,
had broken the chain that held him
and had run across the park.
Hardly had he commenced TO cutAhis
capers in the forbidden park, and be-
fore the man in charge of the mule
could reach the park, when Officer
Nose Davis had the mule in charge,
and forthwith entered a case against
its owners
