he might, he could not overhaul the six boats that 
preceded him around the stake, and it began to look 
gloomy for the C. A. A. boat. 
With the change of wind came great clouds of smoke 
off the city that obscured the fleet for a quarter of an 
hour like a heavy fog. When it cleared away Bill¬ 
poster was seen nearing the last mark on the way home 
with a rattling good lead on everything in the fleet. 
Mendota, Raven and Milwaukee were in closest at¬ 
tendance, with Toledo next, and then Cherry Circle, 
followed by Quien Sabe, Yo San and New Illinois, in the 
order named. 
By the time the boats had rounded for the balloon jib 
run home the wind began to fall and Cherry Circle’s 
hopes to rise. Two boats were ahead of her that spelled 
victory or defeat. If the mahogany boat could overhaul 
Milwaukee and Raven it stood a chance to hold its lead 
in the percentage table. 
It was a desperate battle. First, Peare tackled Mil¬ 
waukee and luffed her off her course, getting past her. 
Then she set sail for Raven. Meanwhile, Toledo, taking 
advantage of the luffing match, sneaked past the pair 
of them and Peare had another dangerous contender. 
He set after Raven with a vengeance. The wind lulling 
a bit he set his reaching jib as a spinnaker carried high 
up in the air with his balloon jib. It is an old Peare 
trick and a good one in such light airs. As Cherry 
Circle, Raven and Milwaukee drifted down to the line 
in the falling breezes they secured a line and it was not 
until the three guns had been fired that the spectators 
not directly on the finishing line could tell the result.

The race proved a significant triumph for C. D. Mower, 
the clever eastern designer, whose three boats in the 
race finished respectively first, second and third in the 
percentage table. Cherry", which won, was designed jointly 
by Mower and Barney Morgan, while the Canadian chal¬ 
lenger, Raven, and the Columbia Y. C. defender. Bill¬ 
poster, which finished second in virtue of winning the 
last race, were designed by Mower exclusively. This 
remarkable showing in a field of nine boats is all the 
more remarkable, in view of the fact that they were 
the only boats in the race designed by Mower. It shows 
that he is a remarkable designer of small boats, no 
matter what his success may' have been with the larger 
craft. 
The yachtsmen were entertained last night at a banquet 
given by the Columbia Y. C. at the Chicago Athletic 
Association, at which the magnificent trophy was pre¬ 
sented to the skipper and managing owner of Cherry 
Circle to be kept until it is raced for again next summer. 
Cherry Circle, Billposter and Queen Sabe, will be 
shipped to Detroit to race for the Country Club and 
\\ alker cups of the Detroit Country Club next week. 
The action of the Detroit sailors in refusing to send 
their boats here after building for the race and in urg¬ 
ing the other lower lakes sailors to keep away also has 
made them a host of enemies in Chicago, and local 
sailors are hoping that one of the three representatives 
sent from Chicago will succeed in carrying off these 
two coveted trophies of the Detroit yachtsmen.

American Y. C. 
Milton Point, Aug. 25. 
The midsummer regatta of the American Y. C. was 
sailed in strong easterly breeze that roughened the 
water well. There was an expectation of some big boats 
starting, but no competitors materialized for Queen and 
Effort. 
The wind was so strong that it tried the boats’ gear, 
and there were many cases of parted rigging. 
The committee, Messrs. II. de B. Parsons, J. M. Mac- 
donough and W. II. Caswell, had charge of the race, 
and sent the yadhts to Execution Rock, thence to a 
spar buoy off Week’s Point, and home, about 9% miles— 
twice around for the 30-footers and once for the other 
classes. 
The winners were Pliryne, Regina, Vaquero, Tartan, 
Mopsa, Wee Wean, and in second division, Huntress.

The Gold Challenge Cup. 
Alexandria Bay, Aug. 21. 
The first day’s racing for the gold challenge cup for 
motor boats, in which there were 11 of the fastest boats in 
the country, was won by Sparrow, representing the Riv¬ 
erton Y. C., and owned by Mr. C. J. Swain, of Phila¬ 
delphia. The other boats entered and which finished 
were Chip II., Jewel, and Dixie. 
The second day’s racing was won by Chip II., owned 
by Mr. Wainwright, present holder of the cup. The two 
boats, Chip 11, and Sparrow, had equal chances on the 
last race, Dixie being out of it, being unable to save her 
time. 
On the third day Chip II. won the final race from 
Sparrow over a 30-mile course, beating her 23m. 26s. It 
is reported that the owner of Jewel has protested both 
boats, Sparrow and Chip II., for non-conformity to the 
rules in the matter of the engine measurement, and this 
will go to the American Power Boat Association for 
decision. 
389th Regatta of the Beverly Y. C. 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its 3S9th regatta from the club 
house on Saturday, Aug. 18. The event was the sixth 
club race of the season. 
A fresh breeze from the S.W. blew all day, making 
ideal racing conditions. 
In the 21 ft. class, Amanita III. got away first, with 
Barnacle a little ways to leeward of her. Barnacle had 
her wind free, and at once took the lead, and lengthened 
her lead steadily throughout the race. The boats were 
sent to Bow Bells and back. 
There were three entries in the 18ft. class, and they 
were sent to Bird Island and back. Jap won by only a 
few seconds. 
As usual, the 15ft. class showed the largest number of 
entries. There were fifteen starters. The boats were 
sent to Abiel’s Ledge, Mosher’s Rock, and back. This 
course necessitated a jibe to Abiel’s Ledge, which made 
lively work. Seeps won, and Mongoose was second.
