yachting circles. All the boats went
out full sail, however, but the pressure
was indeed great. All the craft were
up on edge great part of the time,
and some of the heavy puffs threat
ened to dislodge some or them from
their correct sailing balance, but skill
full handling kept them right side up.
The winners in the days events
were Undine, Aloha, Jim Crack, Fall
con and Blanca. Capt. Clarkson had
a buoy placed in Mahtomedi bay,
which formed a triangle in the large
part of the lake, with a hook on the
leg between Dellwood and center. So
the boats in classes a, B and open
were sent on an eight-mile course, be-
ginning at DellwoOd to center, then
twice around the triangle by way of
Mahtomedi and home from center.
The second division of the open class
and class G boats were sent over five
mile course, from Dellwood to center,
once around the triangle and home
The new course proved a delightful
change to the yachtsmen, and they all
appeared we'll satisfied with the route.
While the leg from center to Mahto-
medi is not quite mile, the shortage
is made up from Mahtomedi to Wild
wood, which is considerably more than
mile.
The four Glass A boats, Minnesota,
Minnezitka, Highlander and Undine,
were sent off at 1920. They were well
punched at the st,,rt, Undine leading
slightly. The boats went off on star
board tack, and as they came about,
Minnesota broke halyard and was out
of it. Shortly after the Highlander lost
her rudder, and she, too, was corn Delled
to retire. This left Undine and Mime
zitka to fight it out Clarkson ke1 his
boat we'll in the lead for the most part,
and won with nearly five minutes to
spare.
zen Class Boats Start.
The open class boats were sent off
at 1925. Harriet, Wierdling, Cavite
and Aloha were the contestants. Ca
vite broke down imme lately afte :
crossing the line. Weirdling vas lead
ing the class slightly, when her jib
halyard broke. After eight minutes de-
lay in sending a man up the mast the
Y break was partly repaired, and she
finished the course
Aloha was fighting it out with Har-
riet at close range for much of the
course. Each took turns in leading.
At the Wildwood buoy, the first time
around, Aloha had some trouble with
3 her jib, and lost the lead to Harriet in
F repairing it. However, Cant. Arm
strong recovered first place before get
ting to Mahtomedi the second time
and from then on was never headed.
Just to be in fashion, Harriet also
ndQ trouble WIN AeF JlD at the NTH
mile, which lost her second place to
Weirdling, who was plugging away
trying to make up lost ground. Aloha
won by minutes and % seconds over
Weirdling, which was 20 seconds ahead
of Harriet
Seven boats started in Glass B. Me-
nedo, Mooswa, Avis, Jim Crack, Cob
lin, Nausett and Keshequa. They got
away well together. Ordway took the
Jim Crack out after the boats were
under good Roadway, and led the class
to the finishing line. 1t was not With
out struggle, however, for Avia AMI
Monedo were pressing her hard for
. much of the distance.
On the first leg o. the course Monet
and Nausett came together in a man
ner which might have been disastrous
Nausett had right of way on a star
board tack while Monedo was coming
along on port on converging tack
Neither crew saw the other, and Me-
nedo struck NauSett almost amidShipS
breaking. her sidestay, without which
Nausett was unable to continue in the
race. The surprise is that no f-7-shel
damage was Gone, as the boats were
going at a good clip when the collision
occurred. 1t also had the effect CT
sliC-tly delaying tt ; Monedo.
Jim Crack Wins.
Jim Crack wSss the race in the fas
only on one leg, that fro mcenter to home
MoosWa, which came last, seems to bt
clearly out of form and while everythint
seems to to have been done to get thu
boat in proper tut :. it remains, however
that the right spot IS not been touch
ed upon.
Falcon won over Geneva over the five
mile course in the second division of tn
open class. Van Week simled as he say
the big sea rolling as he says Falcon take
very kindly to such conditions, and &c
neyra never did like sea that kickeJ
up to any extent. But Genevra held Fal
con down very well, and lost by only tw
minutes and half Capt. Wheeler feel
confident of turning the tables on his oil
rival when the wind PRESSURE is not quit
so great.
