Lulu iheretore wins in the A class by 3m. 29i. from Dream, >md 

 Chaperon wins in the 29f t. class by 7m. 21s. from Volda. 

 , The St. Lawrence Y. C. series race was this year so arranged 

 that all classes sailed together three times. The best corrected 

 time over the course in the first of these races was made by 

 Thora, a 31ft. class boat, of 19ft. 6in. corrected length, rigged as a 

 yawl, with battened sails. In the second of these races Valda, 

 the winner of the 29ft. trophy, the vice-commodore's cup, beat 

 the fleet by Im. 59s. In the third. Chaperon, a boat of 29ft. 6in., 

 sailing in the 39f c. class, beat the fleet by 2Qb. Thora is practically 

 a St. Lawrence River skitf, of a little greater beam than usual, 

 and with a light counter, and she depends for her stability en- 

 tirely upon the ability of her crew lo bend their backs over her 

 rail. She scored her •'best corrected" iu a puffy day, where the 

 hiking powers of her crew were tried to the uttermost, and the 

 larger boats were either knocked down by the puffs or wallowing 



l^^^^^ without wind enough to till their reefed canvas. Valda 

 and Chaperon on the other hand have the greater part of thuir 

 ballast outside, and they made their records in fair sailing davs 



July JS.-The A Class of the St. Lawrence Y. C. sailed the last of 

 the series of races of that club for the season on Saturday There 

 was a strong and squally east wind blowing, making the course a 

 reaching one, and all the boats went across the line with two 

 reefs m their mainsails. The wind fell lighter after the Valois 

 Light Buoy was passed, and the boats pulled first one and then the 

 second reef, and by the time the Chateaugay Buoy was passed 

 Dream had a good lead on the fleet. At the Pointe Claire Buoy 

 however, she missed the buoy, got in stays and lost heavily. At 

 the Chateaugay Buoy she again lost heavily by an almost simi- 

 lar mishap, and in consequence of these errors she only finished a 

 few seconds before Lulu. And so ended the race and with it the 

 Commodore's cup for the year. The summary was as follows:
