CavJte Beats Yankee. 
Chicago, 111., July 8. — It was the unexpected that hap- 
pened on White Bear course, Minnesota, on July i, when 
the doughty Yankee was forced to lower her colors to Mr. 
F. M. Douglas' Cavite, a new boat, and not at first sup- 
posed to be a dangerous rival of the White Bear favorite. 
Cavite, however, won by a margin of but soyds., narrow 
enough to leave a defeat with no overwhelming quality to 
it. All classes were .sent over the course at once, Aurelia 
and Akela appearing for the 23-footers; Falcon, Jennie 
and Pastime in the 21ft. class ; Mudhen and Gypsie for the 
little fellows. In the 20ft. class were Yankee, Cavite, 
Mahto and Keewaydin. Yankee, with L. P. OrdAvay at 
the stick, led over the line, followed by Keewaydin, steered 
by H. A. Merwin; Mahto, J. H. Skinner, .and Cavite, F. 
M. Douglas. Cavite gradually overhauled Yankee after 
leaving the other two astern. Falcon made a good start, 
her helmsman, H. Van Vleck, crossing two minutes ahead 
of her rivals, and .she increased this lead to ten minutes 
at the finish. Akela carried away her jib near the finish, 
which incteased the extent of Aurelia's lead. The times 
were :
