hauled down her first pennant of the
season. The races at White Bear yester-
day afternoon Were sailed in an eighteen

Starter Tarbox sent the boats over an
eight-mile course, to center to Wildwood

to center and back. The first leg gave
the yachts a fair reach to center while
the leg TO Wildwood was before the wind.

back to center The legs between center
and home were fair reaches.
Twelve boats entered in the three con-

to the fact that she was undermanned.
Ihe capSlzed boat was the Wrath of
class 3 new, Capt. Fred Reid. She was
Just making the point Of the peninsula
after working under the lee for some time,
and as she got out where she could get
the full benefit Of the wind she found her
self short of weight and crew. Capt.
Reid said she went over very fast.
The judges launch tOWed the upturned
boat beyond the point of the peninsula
where there was no danger of her mast
striking, and later she was righted and
taken to Mahtomedi
Pluto, which has won several races thus
Tar this season, has cast her lot with class
B new, and the races which she won in

her about on split tacks, and then opened
up several lengths as the boats went into
the Clark street bay. Pluto also pulled
ahead of Damfino and turned the Clark
