CHICAGO. Aug. Sit Is extremely
doubtful II there will be another Mack

agreed that no more will they risk
heir boats In a race where at the
finish there Is no harbor for them.
The grounding OF the winner Of the
race, Mavourneen, after she had sail
ed such piucky race, was the last
straw, and II Is practically certain an
other year will see race sailed down

there is shelter for the boats.
Four yachts have arrived back from
the foot of the lake. Commodore
