Challenge Accepted.
The boatmen's attention being
called to Capt. McLaughlin's
challenge of June 5, which they
had overlooked, for a sailing race
between his Moose and any other
boat on the lake, John McKusick
now stands ready to accept such
challenge with Mr. Trask's boat,
which he now has in charge, or
parties with the Viking boat Sea
gull, which will race for fun or
make it as interesting as Captain
McLaughlin may wish. The
within parties are ready to race
on equal terms, and will not sub
ject the Moose to the customary
handicap of boats of that size.
We thank Mr. McLaughlin for
the kindness in wishing to bring
some sport of interest on the lake
and hope he will respond to this
at the earliest possible day.
Notice.

yesterday.
The acceptance states that
eithof the Sergull or tho boat
owned by Mr. Trask, now in
charge of Mr. McKusick, stands
ready at any tune to enter a race
with the Moose, and also states
that the sooner the race is
arranged the better the acceptors
of the challenge will be satisfied.
It is hoped that preliminary
arrangements can be completed
in time for the contest to occur
on the Fourth. This would be
quite a feature among the other
sports of the day. All the boats
concerned are good ones, and a
race between two or all of them
would be an interesting one, and
would give those spectators who
were'sportively-inclined a chance
to .show their mettle. Mr. Mc
Kusick is willing to race for the
fun of the thing or for a cash
prize, whichever way will best
suit Captain McLaughlin.
