WHITE BEAR UMTS MAKE NEW RECORDS IN LiVELY BREEZE Knight Errant in Class A Cuts Time for Cow se in Both Races J and Reliance Sets New Mark for Class B Yachts. ~ • It was In every sense a record-break ing Fourth for" the White Bear Yacht club yesterday. •' Not only two- sets "of races were held, but all-of the records, of the club in each of the classes were smashed to smithereens. The outlook for holding the regatta was anything but promising. Dark," heavy clouds HENRY VAN VLECK, ctbj^B-_-^-B __H-__lr 'w I Captain of the White Bear Yacht Club. :'■ _ . ' - overhung the lake, and rain fell.- up to 11 o'clock. A high wind was Wow ing from the west, slightly by south, and there were plenty of gusts which lashed the water to the foaming rlint. But after 11 o'clock the. rain ceased, and while the wind was still blowing, the chances for holding the morning race were growing brighter. Boats as sembled from all parts. of the lake and at the time the first gun went off there were twelve at the dock. It was not as big a fleet, as would have sailed had, the weather been somewhat milder, but those skippers who did venture out were of that kind who stop at nothing short of a cyclone, and the sport of the morning and afternoon was of that character which marks it of the highest order. The record held by Minnezitka of 1:09:22, made June 30, 1900, was cut by nearly two minutes in the morning, and then just to show what could be done when the wind . piped it was smashed again in the afternoon, a far ther reduction of three minutes and forty-five-seconds being made. Knight Errant covered the course in the fast time of. 1:03:40, and' it is now likely that the time for the eight-mile course has been set down where it will be safe for some time to come. Seeress. finished only forty-two seconds behind Knight. Errant and shares in, much of the glory.'! ". .*' ';'' •','..'•";. V*."-. •.!:;..'-•>-.;-' Reliance, the .new Griggs boat, with three centerboards, and which was en- j tered in Class B. set a new mark for the B class by covering the course in -1:08:52, but fell off nearly three mm- . utes in her afternoon performance. ; The wind blew from the west, slight ly by south,, at; velocity of from four teen to twenty, miles an hour. The heavy puffs threatened mischief to the boats and proved a constant strain on: the rigging. . Every boat was heeled over almost to the capsizing point a number of times, but none went over. Crusader was the only one that suf fered a serious break. Just before the starting gun was fired in Class A for the morning race Crusader was caught by two heavy squalls, closely following each other. - _" At the time . the mast was broken Crusader was jockeying for position, waiting for the starting gun. The break was a clean one, about half way up the mast. • ■ • The prizes for the morning's races were pennants, in the afternoon the Commodore's cup in class A, White Bear Trophy in class B, new boats, Gotzian cup in the open class and Club cup in class B, old boats. • s The Morning's Race. It was nearly noon before Starter Tarbox was able to send away the first boats, which were scheduled" originally to go at 10:30. The class B, new. boats, were sent off first, there being five entries, Pluto, Black Deuce, Spin drift, Red Devil and Reliance. They went over the line well abreast, Pluto leading by a half a length. . Capt. Schulze kept her going, drawing slight ly away and maintaining his advantage for more than four miles, with Red Devil and Reliance in hot pursuit and only a few seconds apart. : Then came Black Deuce a minute farther back. Spindrift quit. Back to Wiidwood Reliance and Red Devil both closed on Pluto, Griggs finally taking-the lead, and on the return . from Wiidwood opened up such; a margin on the others that he came in an easy winner in 1:08:52. . Pluto managed to squeeze' In ahead of Red Devil for second place. The B class, old boats, were next to get off. Jim Crack showed the way for the first four miles, with Avis right astern and making desperate efforts to overcome the . slight advantage which Schuneman was enjoying. The two boats fought it out at.close range the second. time down the lake, and Avis got the buoy first by less than fifteen seconds. Jim Crack came again, how ever, and shoved her nose in front, but it was only for a moment, the two boats racing neck and neck to the sixth mark. On the ;. return, |as the - boats hauled once more into the wind, they continually overlapped , each other. From center to home Avis drew slightly away and won by the narrow • margin of twenty-two seconds over Jim Crack. Dakota was the other starter, but trail ed the leaders all. the way.. At 11:40 the A class boats crossed the line. Crusader's accident left but two boatsSeeress. and Knight Er rant. Seeress crossed first and had three lengths over. Knight Errant, but Skipper Rees,-seeing Crusader's di lemma, came about and offered assist ance, but, as the club launch was mak ing for Crusader at the time, I Seeress came about and continued the race.

The wind seemed-slightly fresher in the afternoon than in the morning, but there was very little difference. There were more squalls and. more black patches on the *' lake. -^ Fifteen 'boats were entered," and all finished the course : without- mishap or ".accident. Some of the boats went out with reefs, while others ventured full sail. The A class was the I first, to ! get off. Knight Errant took " the lead, with Seeress second and Minnesota third. This was the order for most-of the distance, although Seeress Was up alongside of Knight .Errant on several occasions, but Ordway refused to yield the; lead. ;As the boats finished the; first four miles,' which were covered in 32 minutes and 28 seconds, it could be seen that the/ new record made-in the morning was in danger, and if the boats could maintain the same de gree of speed, or possibly do better,, a new mark would be made which would be apt to stand for a long time to come. Knight Errant had a different suit of sails, today and they fit like gloves.

Minnesota, well reefed down, was \ laboring 5 hard in the heavy sea, and was far astern of the other two boats in her class."-; . .There were no changes of position, and as the boats turned center for the last time it was" plainly seen that the; record would ' be; broken again, and Timekeeper Cresswell caught Knight Errant's time as she crossed the line at 1:03:40,. and that of Seeress 1:04:22, the latter be"^l^ beaten by 42 seconds. The six boats in the B class, new boats, went off once more ;to a pretty start. It was anybody's race' for the first mile, the boats going down to center in a bunch. Down to Wiidwood they • were still I close together, : and it was not until they, came into the wind that any material advantages were laid up.. Red Devil, Reliance and Pluto were having a little the best of it, and as they got into Dellwood it looked like a three-boat race. .-Red Devil and Re liance gradually drew away from Plu to, however, and the two fought it out to the very finish. Reliance coming in first by twenty-two seconds. Pluto was third and Neola fourth, ! Spindrift and Black Deuce following (in order. Red Devil- was awarded the race -on account of a foul by Reliance.. After winning five .successive.races Weirdling went down "before Geneva in the race of the open class boats, the. latter winning by forty-six sec onds. " Weirdling was off first and led for the first mile. Geneva caught" her before getting to center and after, ex changing the lead several times Weird ling drew slightly away, getting g the third mark first, but Geneva came fast on an eased-off sheet ~Z and ". •• caught Weirdling at the sixth mile : and was never headed afterwards.

But Owl > soon gracefully bowed away the lead and contented herself with keeping company, with Da kota. At the fourth mile Avis was leading by a good margin 1 and looked a certain winner, but the Jim Crack pursued j her,. not in vain,/ but persist ently " and doggedly, and caught her just before they got over "the '/ line.
