Chicago Y. C. May BoiW. 
Chicago, 111., Oct. 11.— The long-standing injunction 
which has prevented the Chicago Y. C. from completing 
'ts club house in the outer harbor at the foot of the lake 
ront, was dissolved yesterday by the Appellate Court, 
which reverses the order issued last summer, uiider which 
•order the completion of the building was restrained. The 
original suit was filed by Clarence W. Marks, a property 
(Owner on Michigan avenue, who claimed that his rights 
were affected by the erection of the club house. It may 
be borne in mind that Mr. A. Montgomery Ward has be- 
come locally famous for filing suits of a. somewhat simi- 
lar nature. The Appellate Court held that the decision 
of the Supreme Court in the A. Montgomery Ward case 
does not apply in the injunction restraining the Chicago 
Y. C, as the building of the latter is not erected on the 
Lake Front Park, but in the outer harbor, and outside of 
the Goxernment breakwater. Judge Sears in his opinion 
stated, "No authority is cited which holds that the riparian 
ight owner can protect his view over the water, unless 
.t may be in cases where he is owner of the soil under 
the water to the center thread of a stream. Such cases 
do not apply to an owner of riparian rights on Lake Michi- 
gan." 
\ttorney Hacker, who represented the Chicago Y C m 
the Circuit Court, states that he is entirely satisfied with 
the decision, and adds that the Chicago Y C. wil lat once 
proceed with the erection of its building. It is understood 
that the club has now secured sufficient funds to practically 
assure the completion of the club house in accordance 
with the original plans, and it is to be lioped that a 
beautiful structure will be added to the fixtures of the 
royal sport. 
Sporty Yacht Racing at Green Lake, Wis. 
"Our Inland Lake Association isn't much heard of in 
the East," said a Westerner who came to New York to 
see the yacht races, "but it has the true sportsman spirit 
that any part of the country might well be proud of. 
Why those fellows— all amateur yachtsmen— will sacrifice 
anything to win a race. At Green Lake, Wis., where the 
Association held its annual regatta a week or so ago, the 
sloop Nokomis, the champion of White Bear Lake, Mmn., 
captured all prizes in her class. And how do you suppose 
she did it? Her crew, in sailing rig, weighed S04lbs.— 500 
being the racing maximum for the class. The winds were 
cold and raw, but rather than risk the chance of losing on 
a technicality, the crew reduced the surplus weight by 
stripping off clothes. In that biting air one sailed m his 
baithing suit, the others, including the captain, were clad 
in gauze undervests and white duck trousers. All of 
them were barefoot. They every one came home with 
frightful colds, but I think they'd have been that much 
more ill had they not had the consolation of two beauti- 
ful, silver cups and the glory of their boat being an all- 
round winner.'^ ■_
