yachts appeared from the city, among others Mr. Van

playing colors and the hustle in the beautiful little feet,
seemed as the national holiday had anticipated.

the beautiful bay crowned by the verdant hills adorned
with comfortable villas, could hardly be INA

accustomed. The difference in distance Is very trivial
say vo or six miles, while the Rebecca came in four
hours ahead OF the Minnie. Sill the directions were
positive committee decided in favor Of the last named
yacht These ali arbitrary, and the winning
beat often loses prize through echnicay Of the kind
above mentioned.
