the Minnetonka supporters gave up al
hope except that the Cambria might
break her mast or foul one OF the buoYs.
The showing of the Cambria was
o great surprise even to the Wnlte Bear
sailors. They say that the boat never
made such speed on White Bear as she
had done at Minnetonka; -
The Minnetonka had on her own
sails instead Of the Delta's, which she
had used in the two former races. Her

Notes on the Race.
The defeat was due to the sails. The
skipper of the Cambria admitted that
on the first day of the race when the
Minnetonka had the Delta's sails, he
was afraid of the syndicate craft, and
it caused him to foul the buoy in his
anxiety to get around first.
Pleasant relations existed etween
the rival sailors and no one went away
with grudge. -"
Next Saturday the Minnetonka Boat
club will resume it's regular Saturday
afternoon races. Every race will be q
trial to select representatives for the
INLAND Lake regatta at Oshkosh
