canoe. If it is a genuine

New Orleans, June 28.—The yachtsmen on 
the Gulf Coast are expressing their regret over 
the destruction by fire of the handsome pavilion 
of the Gulfport Y. C., at Gulfport, early Monday 
morning, June 28. The structure was two 
stories in height and splendidly furnished, and 
was owned by Captain J. T. Jones, president of 
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. The loss is 
estimated at $25,000. The origin of the fire is 
unknown. It was the headquarters for the 
Southern Yacht Association, which controlled 
all the races in the Southern Gulf waters. The 
association had arranged to hold its summer 
meeting at the pavilion Saturday, July 3, but 
the unexpected destruction of the building has 
caused a change of plans. The building had 
only been constructed a few years. The annual 
regattas will take place according to the regular 
programme, the meetings of the several com¬ 
mittees taking place in the hotel of Gulfport, 
Miss.

on Saturday, June 26, was as follows: The 
Crosby cup, offered by F. W. Crosby, won by 
Wahkita, sailed by Captain Davis Wuescher.

Mohawk, sailed by Captain William Young.

Jahncke, won by Seawanhaka, sailed by Captain 
E. H. Keep. 
The race was over a triangular course of six¬ 
teen miles. Sinner, Calypso and Chewink III
