Nou, for Venice At o'clock today the
starting gun of the fifth annual race for
tbe Ocean Park Country club perpetual
oha11ense o,,n will be fired. and the regu-
lar annual regatta will be torInaiS
opened. ,, +ho
Arst TO get home, it being over an INSIDE
course and light winds-the only KIND they
have on tap at the popular santa MONICA
bay resorts Mischief H. winner OF the
cup last year, will no doubt put up gooo
race. but the fact that there is SO llttie
windWard work in two and hair mile
triangle rather puts her against heaVy
odds. 80,
Monsoon is the only other boat with
possible chance at the cup, but her record
has SO many instances of uncertainty In
II the best one could guess for ner is
second or third place.
Columbine went up yesterday, or at
least she started from San Pedro yester-
day morning, but may stop at the lsthmus
over night. She did very well in the light
breeze off Point Firmin last Sunday, and
is a dangerous rival on reaching and run
ming off Monsoon also sailed for the 18TH
mus yesterday and Capt. Pugh Will sail
across this morning.
Mischief. along with Detroit, Yankee ana
Venus, will tow up, arriving at Venice IN
the forenoon. The class Q and ID boats
will tow up, leaving San Pedro at O'CLOCK
this morning.
In the c class, Valkyrie having been
shipped to Frisco, Merlin will probably
lose to Venus and defeat Katrina, pro-
vided the latter starts, which is extremely
doubtful.
Every class will be represented in the
races Sunday, and as the Venice people
are always enthusiastic over good yacht
race some good sailing is bound to result.
The steamer Francis will take passengers
over the course in the wake of the yachts
and will also be the official boat of the
regatta committee.
South Coast Yacht club members are re-
quested to present their cards at the
ocean Park Country club, where they will
be honored as special guests of the re-
gatta Besides which, don't forget to-
register at the ship hotel Cabrillo as soon
as you get within hailing distance of the
pier.
After the race this evening there will
be banquet aboard the Cabrilo, given by
the citizens of Venice and Ocean Park to
the visiting yachtsmen. Following the
banquet is to be dance in the pavilion,
and fireworks are also included in the
program.
The races will be in full view of the pier
at Venice, so those who arrive too late to
get a seat on the judges boat can watch
the yachts to good advantage
large crowd is expected from Los
Angeles, and every preparation has been
made to give every one a good time. In
order to see the start of the race this
afternoon one should leave the city not
later than 1890
- Tomorrow the start will be at HIS, early
enough to finish in time to leave for home
at $3.50 on the annual cruising race for the
Kinney cup. Considerable rivalry is ex-
pected on the cruising race, for all classes
of boats may enter, and it is long enough
to give some of the cruising yachts a fair
chance.
