MONTREAL, Aug. 11.-Trident won
the SeaWanhaka cup today by defeat
ing Tecumseh by five minutes and
tWenty-seven seconds. The course was
triangular and at the hour of start
there was dead calm. After waiting
an hour and half a breeze strength
ening to squat sprang up.
After the preliminary signal both
yachts took In two reefs and carried
storm jibs. Tecumseh anchored to lee
ward of the line to do so and was con-
sequently four minutes late in crossing
the line and three and half minutes
after Trident. The wind shifted to
the southwest and varied from twenty
i've to eighteen miles an hour. Trident
was nearly seven minutes ahead at the
end of the first buoy, beat, but lost
in the reach. In the run home both
yachts struck out their reefs Trident
had all the worst of the weather in
the second beat and actually lost three
seconds on the leg. She was almost
lost to sight in a tremendous squat of
rain, but gained one minute and eight
seconds on the reach.
Jennings superseded Jones at the
tiller of Tecumseh and holding az men
ait saved her from some of the tre-
mendous pounding seas.
Tecumseh Sailed SpIendidIy.
In the run Trident again took in one
reef, but Tecumseh held on. At the
beginning of the last beat Trident's
NO. 11b came down with run on
and No. 2, already bent, was quickly
set. 1t could not be got fat, however.
Tecumseh was splendidly sailed. Car
rying on with full main sail at the risk
OF capsizing, she made up one minute
and eleven seconds, but lost by five
minutes and twenty-seven seconds.

Massachusetts Bay Regatta.
= MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Aug. H.
Ihe regatta with which the Eastern
Yacht club entertained the New York
Yacht club today proved not only a
great success, despite the variegated
weather, but was one Of the largest
yachting events ever held in Massa-
chusetts Bay. Thirty three yachts
from the New York and Eastern clubs
started, eighteen from the former and
nfteen from the latter, and twenty
four finished.
The yachts started in a light breeze
from the south and had not sailed
more than an hour before a fierce
squat from the southwest caught
them, disabling several and dismasting
one. The large 70-footers staggered
through it, however, and had a grand
race, the Rainbow leading three-ouar-
tiers of the way. At one time the
M1neola succeeded in passing her. and
shortly after the Yankee took the
Lead, but a shift of the wind brought
the Rainbow UP again and she won
by the short margin of tWenty-one
seconds. In the schooner class the
Elmtna won again over the Muriel.
