The Lake Yacht Racing Associa- 
tion Meet* 
TORONTO AND HAMILTON — LAKE ONTARIO, 
Aug. 14-ig. 
The annual meet of the Lake Yacht Racing Association 
was held last week as per programme recently published, 
with four_ days' racing at Toronto, followed by a cruising 
race to Hamilton and a race at that place, the fleet sail- 
ing back to Toronto on Sunday in time for the interna- 
tional match of this week. It was expected that the occa- 
sion of the meet, filling the week between the trial and 
final races for the Canada cup, would bring the entire 
Lake Ontario fleet to Toronto, with yachts from the other 
lakes, and that the racing would be exceptionally spirited. 
Such, however, has not been the case. The racing has 
been confined mainly to the Toronto and Hamilton 
yachts, and it has on the whole been slow and unin- 
teresting as compared with some previous j'ears. The 
weather has been clear and pleasant for the entire week, 
with ver}^ little wind on the hot days at the end. 
The following yachts took part in the racing. . Clorita 
is one of the two one-design schooners designed by Mr. 
A. Cary Smith last year; she has just been purchased by 
Geo. H. Gooderham from P. T. Dodge, of New York, 
being brought to the lake bj- canal.

On Monday there was a fresh easterly wind with a 
roll of sea up the lake. Only the Hamilton boats were 
entered in the 30ft. class, the Weir boat having a new 
mast stepped iiin. further aft than the one lost in the 
trial races. She won easily from Hamilton, while 
Myrtle withdrew. On Tuesday the wind was still east, 
but lighter, with less sea, and a very good race was sailed. 
On Wednesday there was very little wind. Minota beat 
tvi^o ' of the Hamilton boats badly. On Thursday there 
was no wind at 11 o'clock, and just enough at noon to 
vi^arrant a start. There was no more on Friday, when 
the yachts started off the town club house and worked 
out the Eastern Gap for the cruising race to Hamilton, 
each yacht towing a dinghy for the full course of thirtjf 
miles. They picked up the breeze outside, however, and 
made a race. 
The Toronto races were as usual under the manage- 
ment of the Association officer, Mr. W. Q. Phillips.

NEWPORT, R. I. 
Tuesday, Aug, 15, 
The wind-up races of the New York Y. C.'s cruise were 
.sailed on Aug. 15 off Newport. The wind was moderate 
from the east at the start, but fell to a light air toward 
the finish of the races. The course was a triangular one of 
twenty-one miles. Columbia again scored over Defender, 
sailing the course in 8 minutes 52 seconds better than her 
rival. In the race for the Commodore's cup, open to the 
30ft. class, Carolina won in a pretty race. Light winds 
and smooth seas have been the rule during the cruise, and 
Columbia has proved herself a remarkable boat under 
these conditions. The times were;

Inland Lake Regatta, 
O.SHKOSH — LAlsLK WINNEBAGO. 
Aug. 14-19. 
The Inland Lake Yachting Association's regatta, held 
on Lake Winnebago, Aug. 14 to Aug. 19, was most suc- 
cessful. The East as well as the West was represented in 
the races, and among the entries was Cavite, of the White 
Bear Y. C, which clttb has challenged the Royal St. 
Lawrence Y, C. for the Seawanhaka cup. 
The race on Aug. 14 was for the Eelker cup, a local 
trophy. Ten 20-tooters competed in this race. The 
start was made at 2:30 in a light N.E. wind, the boats 
sailing over a 12-knot course. The finish was so close that * 
it took the judges till late at night to decide upon the ^ 
winner. Aderyn was placed first, Argo second, Al- 
gonquin third and Cavite fourth. The diiference in time 
between the winner and the fourth boat was 37 seconds. 
On Aug. 15 the first of a series of three races for 20 and 
17ft. boats tor the possession of the club trophies was 
sailed over the regular course. At 2:30 there was no 
wind, and the start was made a half-hour later, when the 
wind blew fresh from the east. Flying Fox was dis- 
abled. The times were :

Wednesday, Aug. 16. 
The races for the owl and gamecock colors were rowed 
on Aug. 16. Only two boats were entered in the race 
for two-oared dinghies for the owl colors. The crew of 
Crusader's dinghy beat Syce's crew by 8 minutes 23 
seconds. The four-oared gigs of Ituna and Fleur de Lys 
rowed for the gamecock colors. Ituna's crew won, an 
accident to the Fleur de Lys' crew forcing them to 
withdraw. Iroquois' two horse power launch beat Wa- 
chusetts' launch by 11 seconds over a two-mile course. 
Two launches from Corsair also raced. The four horse 
power launch beat the one of six horse power by 36 sec- 
onds on time allowance.

clear and the wind blew from the S.E. Argo won her

credit to win the championship. The course was twelve

Argo won her third and final victory in the 20ft. class 
on Aug. 17, and thus clearly demonstrated her superiority 
over the other boats of her class who have sailed against 
her. The fourth day was the best of the week for 
racing, a strong, wholesail wind blowing from the south. 
Argo is an Oshkosh boat, and her victory was very popu- 
lar. The times were :
