WINS SAILING RACE
BY SEVEN SECONDS
Galloplng Mary Leads Seawrens;
Yacht Maggie Beats by
l Min. l Second.

BY a margin Of seven seconds the
scawren GaIIoping Mary beat The Sea
New, while the yacht Maggie defeated
the yacht Male by one minute one
second yesterday morning, in two of
the prettiest races ever sailed over Ha-
waiian waters. The Galloping Mary
and the Sea New came up the home
stretch neck and neck, the Sea New
leading around the last stake
The victory was due entirely to the
skill Of George Crozier, who brought
the Galloping Mary over the line with
out break, leading the Sea New by
q nose. The Maggie was the third to
cross the starting line in the yacht
race, which was the first Of the events
at Pearl Harbor yesterday, and the
Defiance was fourth. The latter was
advancing right up the line when, as
she was nearly abreast Of the first
yacht, the strain of her balloon Jlb be
came too much tor her ballast and
she capsized. The crew, consisting OF
Gustav Schaefer, was precipitated into
the briny ocean. His displacement,
however, was not SO great as to dis
turb the waters and the other craft
continued on, the Maggie finally gain
ING the lead and holding it to the
/ finish.
The first race for the Cooper cup
started from the clubhouse at l0:ol
a. III. with the yacht Male In the
/ lead, the Strand second, the Maggie
! third and the Defiance last. The Mag
gle finished in one hour fifty minutes
thirty seconds. and the Male in two
hours one minute thirty-eight seconds.
| The Male was allowed a handicap OF
ten minutes, which cut the Maggie ;
winning time down to one minute one
second.
| Just six minutes after the yachts
| got away the starting gun was fired
for the wrens to hit their course and
! at 1896 the four boats in this race
for the Spalding cup crossed the line
together. They were: the Roaring CHM
| let. owned by ". II. Mclnerny and
sailed by Robert Hendry; the Gallop-
ing Mary. owned by James Jaeger and
sailed by George Crozier; the Sea New,
owned and sailed by Howard Bowen
and the Myrtle, owned and sailed by
Ray Reitow.
1t was nip and tuck for a white.
The Nvrtfe was in the lead at the
upper stake. The Roaring Gimlet was
the favorite at the start, but she lost
space early in the race through bad
management, and although she pulled
UP some She was unable to regain the
advantage The Sea New led around
the last stake and then the entire fleet
lined up, presenting magnificent spec
tacIe as they came up the home stretI,
with their white wings spread before
the breeze As they expanded in the
view from the clubhouse the craft
seemed to hold their formation IN per
feet line. like the charge Of the Light
Brigade until, within almost boat 5
length Of the finish. the Galloplng
Mary could be seen reaching out tor
the line which was so near and yet
so far. and then, it was but few
/ seconds, when she poked her PROV over
and beyond the possibility of defeat,
! and the suspense was ended. The Gal
/ Looping Mary finished at j, 80, 40 and
. the Sea New at II, 80, 80, the time
| Of the former being one hour forty
three minutes and fortv-three seconds
and the latter one hour forty-three
minutes and fifty seconds.
