EIGHTH TRIAL. 
Another race over the same coiirse was at once called and 
(tarted at 3:35:00. The sky had clouded over but there was 
I little less wind, The order over the line was Glenowen, to 
ivindward, Glencairn, Avoca and Bonshaw, the latter aboiit 
JO^. after the whistle. . 
This time Glenowen held second place to Glencairn in the

An interesting incident of the day was the visit of Com. 
floss, owner of Glencairn I. and Glencairn II. After spend- 
og part of the summer in England and Scotland, having a 
(mall schooner under charter to follow the races and to at- 
'ipnd the Jubilee review at Spithead, Com. E,oss reached New 
ifork on the Lucania and arrived at Montreal on Monday. 
3n Tuesday he came out to Pointe Claire and one of the 
aunches carried him out to the committee steamer just in 
firae to see Glencairn winning one of her afternoon races. 
The summing up of the seven races, omitting the second 
irial, which was not made within the limit, was as follows:

Glencairn had won every race of the seven, taking the flrst 
)rize, while Avoca took second. There was no question 
(vhatever of the superiority of these two over all the others 
ft the class, but in view of the long experience of all of 
xlencairn's crew in racing, as compared with the crew of 
Woca, there was still a question as to the relative merits- of 
)oat and handling in each case. In order to test still further 
ihe boats, a suggestion was made to the race committee and 
n'omptly acted upon, to the effect that Mr. Jarvis should be 
nvited to sail one of the two boats against Mr. Duggan in the 
>ther. 
These gentlemen, nearly of an age and companions from 
Joyhood, have been friends and rivals in yachting since they 
lailed against each other as small boys, Mr. Duggan repre- 
enting Toronto and Mr Jarvis, Hamilton. Ifor a dozen 
rears or more Mr. Duggan has re.sided at Montreal, while 
OT about half that time Mr. Jarvis has been at Toronto, 
lach being recognized as the leading yachtsman of the re- 
ipective localities. With Mr. Allan Ames, of Oswego, 
wner of Yama, the two divide the honor of being the best 
'aoht sailors, Corinthian or professional, from the Gulf to 
*Jiagara, and it is quite safe to say, to the head of the Great 
jakes. With two yachts so evenly matched in model as 
Avoca and Glencairn, of identical handiwork in hull, sails 
ind fittings, handled by two such cracks, only good weather 
was necessary to make perfect racing. It was finally ar- 
•anged between the two principals that Mr. Duggan should 
ake Avoca and Mr. Jarvis Glencairn, and that a series of 
tbort races should be saileB on Thursday. Mr Duggan , left 
lis crew, Messrs Shearwxjod and Paton, on Glencairn, and 
lelected for Avoca Messrs. Arthur Hamilton, Lyle Davidson 
ind Lawrence Morris. This made four in pl-ice of three, but 
n order to get exactly the same weight of crew in both boats, 
roung Mr. Morris was taken, making him the envy of every 
3oy for miles around. 
All day Wednesday was occupied by Messrs. Duggan and 
larvis in the effort to get Bonshaw hoisted aboard the To- 
ontio steamer, an unsuccessful job; after many attempts 
iihe was finally slung under the sheers at Lachine and left 
or the steamer on Thursday. 
Third Day. 
ThurS'lay, Aug. 5. 
FIRST RACE, 
Both Wednesday and Thursday were clear and pleasant, 
with a light east wind in the morning. Mr. Eadie's steam 
?acht Chipmunk was off the club house at 10 A. M.. and 
;owed the boats up to the starting line, where the first; sig- 
lal was given at 10:37, with the start at 10:43, over the tri- 
ingle, with all marks to port. With the light east wind, 
.his made a reach on each of the first two legs and a beat 
lome 
Just before the whistle sounded, Glencairn came alongthe 
ine from the buoy at the lee end to the steamer at the 
yeather end and, being a littln ahead of time, lufl'ed just at 
ihe line, then filled away and crossed with the gun, being 
jvithinafoot of the Chipmuuk, Just before, as Glencairn 
ufled, Avoca came around Chipmunk's stern and between 
Slencairn and Chipmunk, finally striking Glencairn and the 
^awl boat lying beside the yacht. Glencairn went clear and 
iway, but as Avoca struck the steam yacht's side amidships, 
Mr. Duggan seized her rail to feud off. As he did so, he 
»lled out, "I claim room at the mark," and at the same 
iime he rau Avoca alongside for half the length of the 
iteam yacht, ending with a strong shove as he reached the 
jow, sending Avoca off in chase of Glencairn. No pi-otests 
yere made, though the incident resulted in a lively but 
micable discussion after the race. The committee was not; 
sailed upon to decide whether Avoca had an overlap, and 
the general opinion was that she gained as much by being 
shoved along so far as she lost in other ways. 
After the general laughter had subsided all hands settled 
lown to work, sheets were trimmed for an easy reach to the 
ointe Claire mark, and they rounded:

After the jibe balloon jibs were set, and finally Avoca set 
ler spinaker, followed by Glencairn. The second mark was 
iimed: 
jliencaiin 11 07 Avoca 11 or 54 
They luffed around the mark and started off with booms 
;o port for the beat home, Glencairn, with her lead of 25s , 
Q the weather berth, The wind was not only light, but very 
iuky, and the two were differently served at times. Glen 
jairn practically held her lead and luffed over the line with 
&.voca 31b. astern. The times were:

SECOND RACE. 
Another race over the same course was immediately called, 
lud started at 11:41. After some smart work at the line 
3-lencairn went over 7s. after the whistle, and Avoca I83. 
.ater. They reached across as in the previous race, and were 
tiimed at the Pointe Claire mark: 
Jlencairn 11 54 30 Avoca., 11 56 28 
After the jibe balloon jibs were set, but no spinakers this 
4me. The second mark was timed; 
aiencairn 12 06 43 Avoca , 12 07 05 
They stood by the port tack for a short distance whtn 
Avoca tacked, only to find Glencairn about on her weather. 
A.8 they worked on, however, after two or three short tacks, 
^Ivoca, though astern, gpt I9 windward of Glencairn and 
gradually drew up and ran by her weather into first place, 
the finish being timed: ^.

Both boats came alongside the steamer for luncheon, the 
wind meanwhile dropping almost flat. 
THIRD RACE, 
After an hour of calm a light breeze came out of the south- 
west, and at 2:39 the boats were started, again over the tri- 
angle, marks to poi-t. The same lively work at the line 
brought Avoca over 8s. after the whistle, with Glencairn 53. 
later, but in the weather berth. Almost on the line they 
began a spirited luffi ng match, reaching up to the center of the 
triangle before bearing away for the Pointe Claire Buoy. 
Avoca came out a little the better at this game, and when 
they bore away, with spinakers out to port, she was clear 
ahead. She broke out her spinaker, but after hanging in 
stops for a ti me Glencairn's was taken in. They jibed about 
the Pointe Claire mark:

They reached across for the second mark with booms to 
port, and were timed: 
Avoca 8 03 47 Glencairn 3 03 49

was timed :

FOURTH RACE 
The signal was given at once for the fourth race, and the 
start was made at 3:31, the course this time being to the sec- 
ond mark, one mile to windward au'i return, marks to port. 
Both came reaching along the line before the gun, Glencairn 
on Avoca's weather quarter, which she touched with her 
bow; they made a good start on starboard tack, Glencairn to 
windward. The breeze was a little stronger in the morning, 
and truer as well. Glencairn weathered out from the start, 
as they stood to the southward, and at the turn she had a 
lead of about Im. 30s. Unfortunately some outside yachts 
broke the view of the buoy, but Glencairn turned at about 
3:50 Her spinaker quickly bloomed out to port, while Avoca 
set hers to starboard. The finish was timed: 
Fini.sh Elapsed. 
Glencairn 4 05 19 0 34 19 
Avoca. 4 07 03 0 oij 03 
Little time was lost in sending them off again for tliesame 
course, the whistle sounding at 4:17. Much the same 
maneuvering as in the previous race brought Glencairn over 
again in the weather berth, but before the gun she fouled 
Avoca's weather quarter as both swung off to keep clear of 
the line. 
This time the pair stood to the north and Glencairn. under 
much the. same conditions, did decidedly better, the wind- 
ward work being timed; 
Glencairn ....4 il 07 Avoca 4 ii 24 
In the beat of a mile, with no advantage at the start be- 
yond the weather berth, she bad made 4m. 278 on Avoca. 
Both set spinakers to port, but jibed them later. The finish 
was timed: 
Ficish. Elapsed. 
Glencai-n 5 01 45 0 44 45 
Avoca i...... 5 05 45 0 48 4') 
As the wind was now falling it was decided to finish the 
racing. The results of the day were satisfactory in showing 
that under as nearly equal conditions of crew and handling 
Glencairn was sufficiently faster to fully justify her selec- 
tion, and also that she in the main realized Mr. Duggan's 
expectations of the results of the changes from Avoca. At 
the same time the latter was quite as fast down wind and 
equal to Glencairn in reaching, both of which were unex- 
pected. 
The selection of Glencairn followed these trials as a mat- 
ter of course, and she was hauled inside the boom that night 
at the club house, being stripped of her spars next morning, 
and hauled into the shed for final rubbing down and polish- 
ing. Momo and Al Anka did not arrive from Ogdensburgh 
until Fridav afternoon.

The weather which followed the circuit was by no means 
good. The Toronto regatta had to be postponed from July 
27, as it was blowing hard from the east, and many regular 
steamers would not leave the harbor. As Priscilla could 
not return later the special schooner race with Oriolefwas 
sailed at Hamilton. At Niagara there was a fresh breeze, 
making good racing, but it carried away the lake buoy 
placed out the night before, and the race could not be 
finished. There is no club there and the facilities for laying 
an open lake course were altogether inadequate. 
The new rule doing away with time allowance in class; 
racing to yachts within 1 per cent, of the upper limit of their 
class has abolished it almost entirely. In the 32ft. class 
there is no time allowance in any case. W. Q. Phillips.

How to See the Races. 
The third series of races for theSeawanhaka International 
Cup will be sailed on Lake St. Louis, near Montreal, begin- 
ning on Saturday, Aug. 14, and continuing each week day 
until one of the competitors shall have won three races. The 
contest promises to be close and exciting, and well worth 
the trip to the St. Lawrence. The club station is at Dorval, 
twelve miles from Montreal, a small village with no hotel; 
but visitors can spend the night in Montreal and go out by 
train to Lachine, eight miles, where the steamer Duchess of 
York will start every mornine to follow the races. The 
steamer is chartered by the Royal St. Lawrence Y. C., and 
tickets maybe obtained by visitors from the States, the price 
being §1.50 for Saturday, $1.25 each for the other days, or $4 
for the series.
