FOREST AND STREAM 
[Sept. 21, 1901, 
Inlandl Lakel YachtingiJAssociation, 
, Green Lake Y. C. Regatta. 
Green Lake, Wis., Sept. 2. — The preliminary local 
event of th(j meet of the Inland Lake Yachting Association 
was the Green Lake Y. C. regatta, which was sailed to- 
day, bringing out most of the contestants for the interlake 
championship. The race was really won by Imp, owned 
by C. D. Peacock, Jr., of Chicago, which led by 6m. 19s.. 
but which was disqualified by the judges, the race being 
given to Caroline, of Oshkosh, which finished second. 
Mr. Peacock protested the decision of the judges, taking 
it up to the Regatta Committee of the Green Lake Y. C. 
The latter sustained the decision of the judges. It was 
Mr. Peacock's defense that the race was started at a 
different time from that earlier announced, and that he 
was not notified. He, therefore, towed his boat up to 
the line instead of sailing up after the preparatory gun. 
The boat was disqualified for coming to the line under 
toAv after the gun. As a matter of fact, it crossed the line 
4m. behind the others. 
The wind was light and very fickle, so that it was much 
a matter of luck, as it frequently is on these inland waters. 
The starting line was made very short, and at an awkward 
angle to the first leg. so that the yachts were badly 
bunched at the start. Meteor, in avoiding a foul, got in 
irons, and hung there until passed by most of its com- 
petitors. 
Tegie. Walter Dupee's boat, of Chicago, was first away, 
followed close by Minnesitka and Meteor. The first leg 
was under spinnaker, and nearly all the skippers hauled 
the spinnaker over the .stay, using it as a balloon jib. They 
were almost without exception, however, taken back and 
handled as spinnakers on the last half of the first leg. The 
first boat around the mark was Harriet H., of Pistekee 
Y. C, the next in order being Emanon, Aderyn, Anita 
and 'Mahoohoo. Minnesitka and Evelyn were about a 
qttarter of a mile astern of the main bunch. 
Coming home, Imp and Caroline stood on starboard 
tack, well over toward the north shore, where they found 
better sailing wind. Caroline, however, stood in too far, 
and although it was given the race, actually ran second 
to Imp. Caroline is the famous bootjack model, which 
created such excitement at the Inland Lake regatta at 
Lake Geneva last year. 
Class B. 
In Class B there were three entries, Nokomis, of White 
Bear, Minn., beating all others in any sort of a finish. 
This class was started sm. behind Class A, and sailed over 
a six-mile triangular course, whereas the Class A boats 
went five miles and return. Of the smaller boats the 
order was Nokomis, Helen and Flying Fox at the start, 
but at the turn Helen had fallen back into third place, 
Nokomis keeping the lead._ On the run home Nokomis 
continued to gain. The wind was light, and the sailing 
conditions of the day on the whole unsatisfactory. The

Inland Lake Races Postponed. 
Sept. 3. — The unsatisfactory conditions of yesterday 
obtained to-day, and prevented the sailing of the first race 
of the Inland Lake ^Association. At 9,130 the blue and 
white flags were hoisted by the judges, and three guns 
were fired, to indicate the postponement of the race. The 
time was changed to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but again 
a dead calm rendered it necessary to call off the race. 
The annual meeting of the Inland Lake Yachting As- 
sociation v/as held at 8 o'clock. It was decided to hold 
the fifth annual regatta at Pewaukee Lake, Wis., in the 
latter part of August, 1902. Thereafter, commencing in 
1903, it was determined to hold the annual regattas per- 
manently at Oshkosh, on Lake Winnebago. These 
smaller lakes do not seem to offer wind enough to war- 
rant skippers bringing out boats for a regatta which 
does not start. Lake Winnebago furnishes practical 
sailing conditions all through the summer, and the de- 
cision in making that the headquarters of the Inland 
Lake Yachting Association is no doubt a wise one. 
There was a proposition oft'ered to allow the 20ft. class 
to carry a loaded centerboard. Referred to the execu- 
tive committee. Mr. Porter moved the executive com- 
mittee report next year on a rule compelling all contest- 
ing boats to be in the water twelve hours before the first 
race, and to remain there during the series. 
The following officers were elected for the ensuing 
year: Pres., H. L. Hertz, Pistakee Y. C. ; Sec'y-Treas., 
Ed Rosinof, Green Lake Y. C; Executive Committee — 
Homer .Clark, White Bear Y. C. ; George M. Conway, 
Pewaukee Y. C; Benjamin Carpenter, Chicago Y. C. 
First Championship Race Von by Etnanon. 
Sept. 4. — Two boats all the -way from the Hoosier 
State, Emanon and Lerion, of Wawasee Lake Y. C, 
showed their heels to the rest of the tidy fleet which 
started to-day in the first championship race of the 
Inland Lake Association. Emanon. the winner, is de- 
signed by Jimmie Jones, of Jones & Laborde, of Osh- 
kosh. Lerion is designed and owned by Dr. Plicks. 
Once more the imsatisfactbry conditions which 
have obtained during the week came up to mar the 
beauty of the sport. Green Lake Y. C. last year made 
all sorts of promises as to the sort of sailing weather it 
would offer its guests in case the meet was awarded to 
Green Lake, There seems to have been a misunder- 
standing between the club and the weather clerk. To- 
day the race was called off at lo' o'clock and set forward 
until 3:30 in the afternoon, at which time they all got 
away over the six-mile triangular course, sailing it twice 
around in a breeze fresh enough to allow them to finish 
well within the time limit. 
There was wind enough in the afternoon to try out 
the boats fairly well, although it was not what one would 
call heavy weather in the least. The two Indiana boats 
had it all their own way, Emanon holding it safe almost 
from the start. Lerion, which finished second, had much 
to do to get second place until well on the second leg 
of the course, when it collared and passed its most 
dangerous rival, Henrietta, formerly owned by William 
Hale Thompson, of Chicago, and sailed as Avis 11. The 
good showing of the latter boat, which is by no means 
a new one, shows that these rule-beating racing craft 
have not so materially improved in the last few years. 
B. & F.. sailed by Ed Rosing, was first over the line, 
closely followed by Emanon, Lerion, Harriet H., the 
whole fleet crowding together so closely at the starting 
line that they seemed to go off practically in a bunch. 
Between the winning boat and the tail-ender, Algonquin, 
there is so pronounced a difference as to leave them out 
of the same class, and since Emanon beat such good 
ones as Henrietta, Caroline, Harriet H., Anita, etc.. 
from 9 to lom., it may be seen to have considerable 
quality in this sort of weather. 
Class B. 
In Class B the three entries of yesterday came to the 
line again, and once more Nokomis- won. Nokomis had 
something of a mix-up with Flying Fox on the run to 
the first buoy, but on the long reach to the third buoy 
led Flying Fox and finished well ahead of the Fox Lake 
boat. Nokomis in actual sailing time beat four of the 
Class A boats — certainl}^ a good performance for the 
little one. Ciiroline, the bootjack wonder from Oshkosh, 
bid fair at first to make trouble in the Class A again. It 
.stood well up to windward and led at the first turn, but 
was passed by three of its competitors. The following

Second and Third Championship Races. 
Sept. 5. — ^For a wonder the wind freshened to-day 
and blew a twelve-mile breeze, so that not only one but 
two of the championship races were sailed. 
If the State of Indiana was lucky yesterday, it was 
surely unlucky to-day. Emanon^ winner yesterday, was 
dismasted, and came -back under tow. Lerion, the sec- 
ond Indiana boat, was disqualified for approaching the 
line from the wrong side after the starting gun had been 
fired. Lerion forced B. & F. out of its position and 
was disqualified for these tactics. 
Still more exciting was the protest filed by the crew 
of Minnesitka against Walter Dupee, owner of Tegie. 
It was charged that Mr. Dupee was carrying profes- 
sionals in his crew, in violation of the rules. The 
judges referred the matter to the executive committee, 
and the latter allowed the protest against one of Mr. 
Dupee's crew, who was barred for the future. 
The course 'was five miles to windward and return, 
and in this fresh going Caroline, winner of the Green 
Lake prize on Monday, and Minnesitka, of White Bear, 
took first and second places. Aspirant \yas first over 
the line, followed by Tegie, Mahoohoo and Caroline. 
Algonquin, after lom. of the rough sea, had enough of 
it. and came back home. Shortly the race was seen to be 
a fight between Caroline and Minnesitka, respectively of 
Oshkosh and White Bear. Both these boats kept close 
in shore to the south, but as they came out toward the 
middle of the lake Caroline was seen to be picking up. 
The latter held her port tack UHtil well to weather of 
the buoy.' rounding the latter at 10:57:40.' Minnesitka 
turned the mark at 11:00:40. Tegie, Lerion, Adeyrn, 
Meteor, Henrietta, Anita, and Harriiet H. turned the 
second mark in the order named. 
Harriet H. passed Anita and Henrietta, and running 
close up to the latter boat luffed to keep away, and at 
that time was caught by a heavy puff of wind and 
capsized. Howell, one of the crcAV, went into the water 
in order to get at the spinnaker boom, and as the boat 
righted he was left swimming. He was picked up later 
in a much exhausted condition. 
The race of the morning was sailed in fast time, the 
leader beating out in less than an hour and coming- 
home in 29m. Minnesitka, the plucky White Bear boat, 
gained nearly a minute on Caroline on the run home. 
Class B. 
In Class B, as well as in Class A. the fresh weather 
seerned to cause a shifting of values. Helen, which in the 
light airs of the earlier part of the week, has been the 
tail-ender, now finished well in the lead, with Flying 
Fox second, and Nokomis, the winner of the earlier 
two races in which these boats met, finished third. 
Nokomis proved better in the windward work. The fol- 
lowing were the times:

Third Championship Race. 
They got off for the third race of the championship 
series at 3:30 in the afternoon. The wind was still fresh, 
but had shifted a little bit to the eastward. The course 
was twice around the six-mile triangle, and the winner 
of the race was Tegie. which made the phenomenal time 
oi' 1.22.26. The bunching of the yachts at the windward 
buoy made it almost impossible to avoid some sort of 
foul, but no protest was filed by any of the boats. 
At the start Emanon led, followed by Minnesitka and 
Caroline, and they turned the second buoy in this order. 
It was at this point that Tegie made her great showing. 
She had not heretofore shown much quality; but now 
began to reach in beautiftil shape, and running up from 
sixth place overhauled the three leaders and led half- 
way down to the third buoy. Tegie was well sailed, 
carrying but her working jib. Emanon, with her spin- 
raker used as a balloon jib, and Minnesitka and Caro- 
line, both carrying balloon jibs, were clearly canvassed 
too heavily forward, and buried their bows badly, whereas 
Tegie, by the simple maneuver of lessening headsails. 
was taking to the seas very nicely. Caroline, the half 
catamaran model, would be picked out as the very boat 
of all others which could not be capsized. Yet none the 
less, as she jibed the third buoy she did go over. Her 
crew handled her beautifully, and in 30s. she was up and 
under way again, not losing her position in the race. 
On the second leg Minnesitka split tacks with Tegie 
and Emanon, and worked into the weather berth. Tegie. 
however, was eased off and footing it too fast for all of 
them, and turned the second buoy first, followed by Min- 
nesitka and Emanon. 
Emanon passed Minnesitka on the second reach, and 
came in second. Algonquin capsized and her crew had 
to be picked up and carried ashore early in the race. 
Henrietta had the misfortune to rip her mainsail in 
shaking out a reef, and was obliged to withdraw. 
The final race to decide the championship will be sailed 
to-morrow (Friday) between Emanon, Caroline and 
Tegie in Class A, the winner to be declared champion. 
In Class B Nokomis and Helen will sail together. 
Should Helen win, she will be winner of the series; but 
should Nokomis win, another race will be necessary. 
Class B. 
In Class B to-day, in the second race, Helen again 
won, Nokomis this time running second, and the Fox 
Lake boat, Flying Fox, dropping back into third place.

Emanon "Wins Championship. 
Sept. 6. — Emanon won the championship of the In- 
land Lake Yachting Association for 1901 this morning 
in a ten-mile breeze over the course twice, about the 
six-mile triangle. Caroline, of Oshkosh, finished second. 
Dupee's Tegie, of Oconomowoc Y. C, winner of yester- 
day's race, was withdrawn, its owner considering that the 
executive comrhittee had too much ruffled his feelings by 
their decision in regard to professionals. 
In the start Emanon was over the line 40s. to the good 
of Caroline, but in the beat to windward Caroline cut 
into the lead of Emanon by iSs.. and showed her superior 
qualities in windward work. It was the old game be- 
tween a pointer and a footer, and Emanon, seeing that 
she must reach fast to win, eased off good and full, and 
trusted to its superior speed. Thence on Emanon be- 
gan to gain, and at the end of the first leg led Caroline 
by a minute. Coming into the windward leg for the 
second time, Emanon made rather better weather of it 
than on the first time out. On the second broad reach 
she still bettered her lead, and finished 2m. 58s. ahead . 
of the bootjack. The race was a close and interesting 
one. Both boats were built by the same man, Jimmie 
Jones, and the latter sailed Caroline during this race. 
Thus, singularly enough, the championship goes to an 
inland State, where yacht racing would seem to be almost 
an unknown quantity — Indiana, the home of the Wa- 
wasee Y. C. 
Class B. 
Helen could not repeat her fresh-water performance 
of yesterday, and finished 15m. 34s. back of Nokomis. 
Helen was trimmed up pretty close, and might have 
done better had the wind been fresher. No decision was 
announced in Class B; therefore, since Nokomis and 
Helen had won two races each, the tie was to have 
been sailed at 2:30 to-day, but the wind failed, and the 
race was carried forward until to-morrow. The follow- 
ing were the times:
