The places are about the loveliest in England, and the 
matches are well managed, but conjointly with the re- 
gattas the shore folk run a kind oi fair, with merry- 
go-rounds, hurdy-gurdies — everything that goes to make 
up a regular English fair. The result is a surprise to 
yachtsmen accustomed to more sedate ports. But does 
not Gowes boast of its niggers, now?

Western Yachts, 
Chicago, Sept. 6. — Editor Forest mid Stream: There 
will be a match series of races of unusual interest lield 
here this week between Vanenna, the S2ft. champion of 
the Chicago Y. C, owned by Mr. W. H. Cameron, and 
Vencedor, the 52ft. champion of the Columbia Y. C, 
owned by its Commodore, Mr. Fred A. Price. 
This match is for the 52ft. championship of Lake Michi- 
gan, and although both yachts have been on Lake Michi- 
gan since 1896, this is the first time a match series has 
ever been arranged for them. 
As the clubs represented by these yachts are great 
rivals, the outlook is good for some spirted rooting on 
guest boats. The betting is already lively. 
The series i-s to be sailed as follows : First race, Sept. 
11; Triangular. 
Second race, Sept. 13, leeward and return. 
Third race (if neces,sary), Sept. 20, course to be 
chosen by winner of coin toss. 
Preparatory gun, 1 :50 P. M. Starting gun, 2 P. M. 
Saturday, Sept. 20, will probably close the general yacht 
racing season in these waters, although some special 
events will probably be held after this date. 
The Chicago Y. C. has already closed its season's pro-- 
gramme, except in its 15ft. class. 
The Columbia Y. C, however, has arranged to close its 
general yachting season Saturday, Sept. 20 with its tenth 
annual fall regatta, which will be open to all cabin yachts 
on Lake Michigan, There will be three classes, and 
time allowance table of L. M. Y. A. will be used. 
First class, cruising yachts, sloops or cutters. Prepara- 
tory gun, 2:20 P. M. ; starting gun, 2:30 P. M. Five 
prizes in this class. 
Second class, schooners and yawls. Preparatory gun, 
2:30 P. M. ; starting gun, 2:35 P. M. Ten prizes in this 
class. 
Third class, racing yachts, sloops and cutters. Pre- 
paratory gun, 2 :35 P. M. ; starting gun, 2 -.40 P. M. Ten 
prizes in this class. 
Prizes will be awarded at club house at 9 P. M. same 
<iay, at stag smoker and vaudeville given by Columbia 
Y. C. to all yachtsmen able to attend. You are welcome. 
A series of races are about to start for Webb 21ft. cabin 
class championship cup for 1902. The second race will be 
held Saturday, Sept. 13. Preparatory gun, 2 P. M. ; start- 
ing gun, 2 :o5 P. M. There are four prizes offered in this 
series. The entries are La Rita, the Lipton cup winner; 
Sprite, Colleen, Margaret, Arab IV., Privateer. 
Present standing on points: La Rita, 100; Arab IV., 
<So; Spray, 60; Privateer, 40; Sprite, disabled during race; 
Colleen, disabled before start; Margaret, did not start 
in first race. 
As Colleen and Sprite are Chicago Y._ C. entries, and 
balance are Columbia Y. C. yachts, the interest in these 
races is quite keen. Beside this, the probability of win- 
ner of this series being the Columbia Y. C.'s representa- 
tive in match between Eastern 21ft. cabin class cham- 
pion and Western champion of same class for world's 
championship of the class is an added incentive for 
owners to keep working to win. 
At present it looks as though Little Haste, of Y. R. A. 
of Masaschusetts, will be Eastern champion, and La Rita 
the Western champion, and if match does not fall through 
the series should arouse more yachting enthusiasm than 
any other event held during the season of 1902.

same. The names of the winning teams to be engraved upon the 
cup each time when won. This is a great stimulator to good shoot- 
ing, as all the clubs are anxious to possess the cup, hence it is 
expected that in the future the weekly shoots of all the clubs will 
be more regularly attended.

A BISPATCH from Rothesay, Scotland, Sept. 8, reports : 
'Tn an interview here to-day Sir Thomas Lipton said 
that he would mail a formal challenge for the America's 
Cup to the New York Y. C. within two or po-ssibly three 
weeks. If, however, in the meantime any British yachts- 
man or combination of yachtsiiien challenged they would 
have his cordial assistance and the use of Shainroek I. as 
a trial horse, absolutely free of cost. 
"Sir Thomas Lipton added that the stories about his 
new boat being already half btiilt were false."
