Toledo, Aug. 24.-Calm caused a
disappointing effect upon the opening
regatta Of the Inter-Lake Yachting as
sociation. The breeze was too light to
permit of the finishing of the first heat
of the cat boat series for the Taft cup.
This was the only racing event sched-
uled for the day, but the keen rivalry
for the presidential trophy promises to
make this contest among the twenty
one starters one Of the most interest
ing features of the meet. The wind
which was so light at the outset as to
forecast slow race, died down so
that the heat could not be finished
within the two hour limit, and the
postponed heat will be run off Friday
or Saturday.
Everything indicates that the power
speed craft will occupy a prominent
place in the present regatta. A large
