popularity and is so large on White Bear at the_ present 
time that boats have to be divided into two divisions. 
The first division consists of new boats, built every year, 
and the second sonsists of the old boats that have been 
raced the previous seasons. There will be at least twelve 
new boats this j^ear and about eight last year's boats 
giving fully as large classes as can satisfactorily he 
handled. Besides two cups in each class there is a special 
cup offered each year for the championship; also a cup 
for points. 
These boats are almost entirely sailed by sons of the 
members of the club, and are in many respects more 
adapted for pleasure sailing than the large boats. They 
are almost as fast, not so hard to handle and do not re- 
quire as large a crew. 
In several cases last year "B" class made the eight-knot 
course in less than one hour and fifteen minutes. In all 
there are something like thirty-five A and B sailboats 
being built at White Bear, most of which are almost com- 
pleted. 
A number of new launches, designed and built by J. E. 
Ramaly for men living at White Bear, will be added to 
the power fleet this season, and there is some talk of 
launch racing this summer. Jack Ordway.
