LIGHT WINDS FOR
THE YACHTSMEN
Minnetonka, Calhoun and Bald
Eagle Sailors in Drifting
Matches.

Light winds with an occasional puff made the
yacht races at Minnetonka drifting contest
yesterday. The were scheduled for 10
am, but the preparatory gun not fired UNI
til II o'clock Interest centered in. the new
feet Of Class B sloops. The Pathfinder owned
by Roy Wagner, crossed the line first and altho
there was scrnDping all the time, succeeded in
maintaining its lead over the Timrck, owned
by Roy Thompson, and finished a winner by
six minutes. The course chosen was the short
one, starting by the home buoy ut the Mime
tonka Boat club. down to the second buoy off
swifts point and coming back by the Excelsior
buoy. The course is five miles and was sailed
twice.
The surpri,e of the day was the way in which
the Babe sailed by Allan Hill, walked away
from the Wihuta, belonging to the Loudon
brothers The light-trimmed boat caught the
heavier antagonist by thirteen minutes. The
Owaissa, sailed by George Holbrook, was an
easy winner in the coatboat class.
The motor boat race in the afternoon was
watched eagerly, as it was known that the
Bisbee, owned by NJ. w. Mattson was to enter.
The Bisbee fairly flies thru the water, being
driven by four cylinders and having twenty four
horsepower The boat averaged about thirteen
miles an hour making the tifteen-mile course in
LOS. Ten boats were entered, and it was
hoped that the motor boat built for Thomas
Shevlln, Jr.. would enter but it did not appear.
