all the details had, to be worked out and the coflstructiori. 
superintended by his trusty lieutenant, Mr. F. P. Shear-

fifth race for the Seawanhaka cup. Trideiit .was handled 
in' the races by Mr. Charles Routh, a woftK^ suec^ssoi: 
to Mr, Duggan, and both in the building and sailing of 
tli€ boat the traditions of the club have been ably up-

In beat anyivhfei^e.. fespgcialiy oii L§ke St; Lotiis, it ftiay §.s 
well be said at once thjtt much of the siiccess of thg I^o^al 
St Lawrence Y. C. in the present iristaiice was due to 
superior racing organization. The class tO' which the 
boat belongs is well established, and in constant use and 
they began the season with several good boats, which 
were regularly raced, well tuned up, and constantly im- 
proved. The two boats built this year were not available 
iihtll qilite fefeetitly, biit ollce they Were ready the trained 
ti'fews Wefe plit oii board aiid a few races With the existing 
boats vety soori showed how matters stood. The dub, in 
fact, enjoyed the great advantage of a high standard with 
which to comjiare the new boats, and although Trident 
Was not remarkably superior to the bunch, and had 
scarcely been tested in strong breezes, there was the 
Satisfaction of knowing that she had proved herself a 
good boat in competition with other boats whose qualities 
had been well tested in all weathers. 
Now on the other hand the challenging club began the 
season with no fixed standards whatever, and while com- 
manding a much greater range of talent in every way, 
the boats came to the trial races so many unknown quan- 
tities, necessarily imperfect for lack of racing and requir- 
ing a great deal of tuning up. Once the trials began there 
was little time for work of this sort, and perhaps little in- 
ducement owing to the decided superiority of Tecumseh. 
but after all, it could only be said that she was the best 
of an untried lot, almost every one of which no. doubt 
have been greatly benefitted by a season's hard racing and 
careful attention to details. For the good of the sport it 
is to be hoped that the most promising of these boats will 
lae brought together again, and made to serve some use- 
ful purpose for the next challenger, which apparently will 
be some United States club. It can only be regarded as 
a profligate waste of means, to employ so' many good de- 
signers and builders in tiirning out boats which are al- 
lowed to relapse into obscurity after a single short and 
unsatisfactory trial. The Royal St. Lawrence Y. C. fully 
reahzes this, and in less than twelve hours after the final 
race declined an offer for Trident from a wealthy Chicago 
yachtsman, on the ground that a proved boat should not 
be carelessly lost to the club. 
A challenge for next year from the Oshkosh Y. C. 
v.'as received immediately after the final races, and the 
next day challenges by wire came from the White Bear 
Y. G;. and the Manchester Y. C, so that a race next year 
is welL assured. ' Wm. Q. Phillips.

picked up Rainbow in a .lightejiitig p'reez'e, aiid thg tWo

Rainbow ai.tef ttiet bad both s.tood so high that they had 
to gybe and run for the secofld. mafk with spinnakers set. 
This was also favorable to Yankee. Tne breeze had 
hauled at this time to southwest, and it was a beSt back 
to the first .iiiai'k. Mineola and Yankee took short taclfs, 
while Rainbo'W a'gaifi took a long board to the westward. 
Again the judgment used wais good, and she turned the 
mark in the lead, with Mineola second afi4 Yankee third. 
This order was maintained to the finish, but it 4oes not 
tell \vhat a sight these three made as they came td tiie 
finish with spiiifiakets find ballooners set, only a few 
seconds apart. 
In the fighting schooner class Mtififet f Ot the best of the 
start, and she sailed a great race all tbfoUgh against 
such a conibination of schooner talent on board filiiiina 
as Capt. Dennis and Capt. Nate Watson. The two were 
close ajl over the course, Muriel hanging to just a little 
lead. Mtli-iei finished a little over half a minute ahead, 
but as Elhiina started later, her elapsed and corrected 
times were both faster, AiilOirita sailed a good race and 
finished well up. Wettanio.g. and Nepla were having one 
of the hottest races they have yet sailed, until Weetamoe 
was obliged to withdraw. They were working short tacks 
all the way out tO' the first mark, with Weetamoe in the 
weather berth. Another close race was between Shark 
and Humma. Humma was first to start and she led all 
over the course, but Shark pulled up on her when the 
breeze freshened and they finished close. This gave the 
race to Shark; which was handicapped at the start. Effort 
had a cruising sloop, Cossack, for a competitor, and she 
had no difficulty. In class A of handicap schooners 
Katrina won easily. In class B Mavis led the bunch, but 
lost to Colleen Bawn on corrected time. In the seventh 
class sloops Meemer, an old Y. R. A. 30-footer, sailed a 
good race and won. In this class a special prize was 
offered for Buzzard's Bay 30-footers. This was won 
by Notos, which had sailed a very fine race. In class A, 
handicap sloops and yawls, Ondawa finished alone, and 
this was the case with Intrepid in the special auxiliary 
class. The summary:
