Crews for Trials.
During the, trials the crews will be
divided and the sails will be exchanged.
II is likely that Ordway will sail the
Delta, while Griggs will have the stick
on the Sigma just how long the trials
VIII last 1t is difficult to say but they
will be continued until it is clearly de.
eIded which of the two is the faster boat.
They are both heavy weather boats. and
nave demonstrated their liking for heavy
breeze. In light weather their work q
are no drifters my
White Bear sharps do not believe there
is much choice in the two boats. Delta
is the fastest thing afioat in western
waters, and showed her heels to every
thing she has met thus far. Sigma proved
her speed in heavy weather on Winnie
bago when she trimmed up the fastest
poats on the lake in winds approaching
a fair sized gale The White Bear men
do not hope to lift the cup in a light
ming in blow.
The chances of lifting the cup this year
are conceded by yachting experts through
out the country to be better than in any
previous year, and the fact that the White
Bear Yacht club will have two boats on
the nome waters of the defender from
which choice has been made. has
caused feeling of apprehension in the
ranks of the Royal St Lawrence Yacht
club. and the long enjoyed confidence OF
the Canadians is turning to real anxiety.
of the systematic plans which were laid
by the Western club as far back as last
fail. and which have been admirably car
ried out and enlarged, so that now moth
ing remains but the sailing of the trials
and the final races for the cup.
Just who will do the sailing of either
boat has not yet been definitely decided
but it is being generally taken for granted
that L. P. Ordway will have the stick on
the challenger, and. that r. L. Wann is
sure to hold the mainsheet Jack Ordway
is likely candidate for the glib, while it is
persistently rumored that Frank Douglass
of Cleveland, will be the fourth man.
The Peerless Duggan is more than likely
to handle the tiller on the defender
Noornah and Thorela are racing daily at
Bay ST. Louis, and up to yesterday no
choice had been made. Aeola seems to he
out of it, having been decisiyely beaten in
her last three races.
Names have been decided upon for the
two White Bear boats which are now at
Montreal. The names which the boats have
gone under up to this time We're given
them temporarily, and new names have
been allotted. The Delta will be called
the st. Paul, while Sigma will be christen-
ed White Bear. These names are very
appropriate, and either one will be very
satisfactory to local yachtsmen
1t has been suggested that the name
Augusta Wind might be very appropri-
ate, inasmuch as both boats need conSid-
cradle pressure to send them along
AS soon as the races have been finished
and the crews and the boats have re-
turned the yachts built for the trials on
White Bear will be offered at auction to
the highest bidder. but it is more than
likely that should the cup be lifted the
winner and the second fastest boat will be
retained for use next season.
