Those who brought the Gwendolyn
here are Captain Lloyd johnson, Jo- /

ward RUSSELL and two others.
The owners of the Lady Maud de- |
serve the greatest possible credit in
the world for entering and sailing her
in the race. She is owned by John |
Kyle and his son, Wilbur, and though |
not quite finished, and not furnished
or found for such race, she was put
in so as to make the race possible. The
race had been declared off when the
entry of the Lurline, the Gwendolyn
and the Lady Maud made it possible.
Although the city of San Diego was
appealed to, she did not respond very
heartily, and the Kyles, father and son,
taxed their own resources to put the
Lady Maud in the race.
| She is a new vessel, built by the
Kyles in San Diego. This is her maiden
trip, and, indeed, her interior is not
yet finished nor all the painting on her
interior done.
The Lady Maud brought the largest
company of any of the yachts. Aboard
her is John Kyle, Mr.. and Mrs Wilbur
Kyle, Miss May Daniels, a cousin of
Wilbur Kyle; Captain Lew B. HarrisA
sailing master; Ed. SchartE, James
Jessop, George Lane, Herbert Bone,
William Simpson and G. D. Ledger
The crew is entirely composed of vol
unteers. Only one of them had ever
been to sea before or could steer when
they first started. They have learned
good deal on this voyage. Captain
Harris, the sailing master, speaks in
| the highest terms of their willingness.

Lew b. Harris. "Only one of the boys

to be taught everything. But they
were willing.

the yacht for our own pleasure. She

Those she has are the old sails of the
Anemone cut down, and they do not
fit properly. The city of San Diego
did not respond very enthusiastically
to the proposal to send her, because
she was not finished at that time. But

go in order that there might be race

spending so much money for a yacht,
should not have the disappointment of

Lady Maud. The balance we and our
