First Regatta Of the Excelsior Yacht
Club Proves a Great
Success.
Widow Defeats the Speedy High
lander in the First Glass
for Shops.

The first regatta Of the newly organized
Excelsior Yacht club, Saturday, proved
great success. Nearly thirty boats turned
out, and among the number were sucn
yachts as Cherokee, which have not sailed
in a race for years.
The surprise Of the day was the de1eat
of Highlander, the crack first-class slope
by Widow, Clinton Avery's boat. WIDOW
found the light breeze just to her liking
and finished two minutes and nineteen
seconds ahead of Highlander. 1t was
practically a two-yacht event, Cherokee
which finished third, being ten minutes
behind the winner. .s.-
Waterwitch had things her own way IN
the second class, finishing first by mar
gin of over five minutes. We're Here
was second and Moccasin third. Tobasco
had a Walkaway in the cat class, ana
Victoria won in the special class.
At a committee meeting held on Fri
day night at the home of Vice Commo-
dore Hausman, it was decided by the
club to call off the race for next Satur-
day and to join in the annual cruise given
by the Lake Minnetonka club to the up
per lake. Wilbur F. Thayer,- secretary
and treasurer, reports the finances Of the
club already in fine shape, over. 40 mem

ENTRY LIST A LARGE ONE
Many Dogs Will Compete in the
South Dakota Field Trials
Next Month.

Owners of dogs thruout the United
States are manifesting great interest in
the annual meet of the South Dakota
Field Trial association, which will be
held the latter part of August on grounds
near Sioux Falls.
Entries for the trials close July 81.
Entries are being filed very rapidly with
Lew Hawley Of Sioux Falls secretary OF
the association.
The entries come from practically every
state in the union, assuring the most sue
cessful field trials ever held in the north
west. Scores Of dogs which are owned
in the east and south are now being
trained at various points turnout South
Dakota preparatory to making hard
fight for the liberal purses which are to
be given to the owners of the winning
dogs in the field trials.
The officers of the association expect
that over $4,000 will be distributed in
the various prizes: There will be three
stakes again this year-the all-age, the
derby and the subscription. The judges
will be Thomas Johnson Of Winnipeg
and c. B. Whitford of Chicago.
In the course of the next two weeks
a patrol will be established on the
grounds selected for the trials, so the
birds, which are reported very numerous
this year, will not be molested or driver
away, thus insuring some rare sport
when the trials are held.

The racing SEASON for the three Amerf-
can yachts preliminary to the official trial
races for the selection of a ninety-footer
to meet the Shamrock. III, was brought
to a close Saturday, when the Reliance,
Columbia and Constitution competed at
Newport for cup offered by ex-Com-
modore BigeloW of the Eastern Yacht
club.
The contest between the three big
soops was marred by an accident to the
Columbia, the most serious one she mas
met with since she carried away her steel
mast in race with the Defender four
years ago on the Newport course. Satur-
day, just after the old champion gybed
around the second mark, her topmastt was
carried away close to the heel.
The Columbia luffed into the wind and
dropped her head sails. With some diff
ficulty the broken spar and the sail at
tached were lowered to the deck and then
her tender the Park City, took the dis
abled craft in tow and brought her to her
mornings
With the Columbia out of the race all

The principal feature Of the regatta
held by the Lake Geneva Yacht club al
Williams Bay, Wis., Saturday was a
sharp brush between Hunts Attila, the
inland lakes champion of 1900, and George
Braun's Nokomis, which has been sweep
ing everything in Glass B heretofore this
season.
This is the first time the Atilla has
been out since being reftted and she
showed that she possessed her old racing
qualities, defeating the Nokomis by nearl,
five minutes. The boats sailed over the
seven mile course in a stiff southwest
breeze. Sloan's Peshtigo was the only
entry in Glass B, the other boats being
out of order.
Calumet, Scheet's one-rater, was sailed
to victory Saturday at Pewaukee, Wis.
by Hilnar Schroeder, the margin being
fully six minutes.
After the race a meeting of the cluI
was called and it was decided to sent

TEXAS FEDERATION or CLUBS


The Texas Federatian of Women's
Clubs has set apart the first and
second weeks In March to be OBJ
served throughout the state as Edu-
cat1onal weeks.
In compliance with the sugges-
ton of the President of Federation,
the Waxahachie Shakespeare club
voted TO observe the first week in
March. This is being done by Wis
iting the city public schools, not as
critics, but as friends and co-work-
ers, and making study of some of
the topics suggested by the Fedora
ton. Topics with which every pa
triotic citizen should acqIaint him
or her self.
In response to call from the
president, the club met Wednesday
afternoon, March 4, for the discuss
Ion OF these subjects. After the
club was called to order Prof. w.

ent Il. ID. Criddle, who we're present
by invitation of the club, gave most

member of same committee, read
an interesting paper urging the cry

an awakened enthusiasm on the part
Of members, and the passing of a
resolution to present a petition to
the city council for measures which
wiil afford relief to the present
lcondition of affairs in the public
schools.
II is the earnest wish OF the club
that every mother, with children In
the public school, might sign this
petition, but owing to the condition
of sidewalks and streets, this was
deemed Impossible, so IL was decId-
ed TO send the petition simply in the
name of the club.
