one race after the fine showing of Minnesota on Satur- 
day. 
Immediately after Red Coat had crossed the line, Com. 
Ordway gave notice to the Royal St. Lawrence Y. C. 
committee on the steamer of the intention of the White 
Bear Y. C. to challenge for next year. 
On Tuesday evening Com. Molson gave a ball at the 
yacht club in honor of the Americans. The club house 
and grounds were handsomely decorated and illuminated, 
and as the weather was merciful for once and with- 
During the cruise there will be the usual races for the 
owl and gamecock colors and a race for launches. . . 
At I o'clock the yachts left the rendezvous for the 
starting line. There was not enough breeze to sail the 
boats, the yachts merely drifting to the line. At i ;30, 
the time for starting, there was still no breeze, and at 3 
o'clock the siart was finally made in a light southeast 
breeze that just moved the racers. The race was twenty- 
one and one-half miles, over a three-leg course.

held the threatened rain, the affair was most enjoyable. 
On Wednesday Minnesota was shipped on a flat car and the 
party started for home in the two private cars, all 
promising to return next year if their challenge is ac- 
cepted. Not only did the best of good feeling prevail 
throughout the whole contest, but the Americans prac- 
tically owned Lake St. Louis and the adjoining shores, en- 
joying a free and unostentatious hospitality which can only 
be rightly appreciated by those who have attended the in- 
ternational matches at Dorval.

schooners started next, with Wayward in the lead, Quis- 
setta next, and Indra, Uncas and Rusalka followmg. 
Constellation, Katrina, Latonia, Ingomar, Neaera and 
Kiwassa were handicapped. The 70-footers started at 
3:15. There were in this class Rainbow^, Mineola and 
Y'ankee. Virginia was at Bristol undergoing repairs. 
The wind was still very light, and it was almost a drift- 
ing match to the first mark. At 5 o'clock a fair S.S.W. . 
breeze sprang up, which later freshened considerably and 
the race was finished in a good breeze. Cornelius Van- 
derbilt's Rainbow crossed the finish line first, 3m. 49s. 
ahead of Mineola. Yankee finished 2m. i8s. latet^ than 
Mineola. Rainbow therefore won the Commodore's cup 
Second Day—First Squadron Rua. 
HUNTINGTON BAY TO MORRIS COVE. 
Tuesday morning promised no better than Monday, 
with a heavy mist and a flat calm. Shortly after li o'clock 
a light wind blew in from the east, and at 12:15, when 
the cruising trim sloops were sent away, a good wind 
was blowing. Interest again centered in the 70ft. sloops, 
in which class were entered Mineola, Rainbow and Yan- 
kee. Virginia had not yet joined the fleet. Mineola got 
over the line first, Rainbow following, with Yankee last. 
Mineola led throughout the race and beat Rainbow by 
i6ra. 58s. and Yankee by 20m. 30s. Corona was the 
first boat to finish, reaching Morris Cove at 3:21:20, and 
won the first leg of the races for the cup given by Vice- 
Corn. Belmont for schooners sailing in one class. Jessica 
lo.st her bowsprit and topmast and Vinita lost her bow- 
sprit. The yachts finished in an eight-knot breeze, and 
the times were: '
