encourage boats Of smaller size than those that run
in the regattas of that time honored institution the
Southern Yacht Club For ourselves early identified
as we have been with the organization and progress
Of the latter, we have taken no less interest in the
success Of the Junior whose first regatta was inaugur
ated yesterday at the lake end Of the new canal.
We trust the day may be far distant when we cease
to take lively interest in any thing that in any man
adds to the pleasure or benefit Of those who make
their abiding place, in winter and in summer in this
goodIy city Of New Orleans
Quite large attendance greeted the Advent Of the
new Club 1t is here proper to state that its classes
are arranged as follows viz:
Frs class, measuring 10 % feet
Third class measuring IA # aud under
Our citizens generally have welcomed the estaB
