tho lake and the view of the regatta were perfectly
exhilarating. We are bound to compliment Recorder
Long upon his efficiency as captain and general dis
penser Of mrth and comfort Smith (of rigging |
celebrity upon his steering Jim Brooks, upon that
salad; and lady whom we need not name. upon |
" them pies" The cruise was in every respect good,
fine, jolly, delightful.
The chief incident was the formal taking posses
sion of the West windn; the miniature ship, |
which has lately been such an object of interest on
the lake. Not much bigger than common yawl, it |
is in shape, SET mass, Sails and rigging, perfect
ship. 1t was ratified off on Monday for $1,000, and |
Recorder Long was the holder Of the lucky ticket.
The little thing was boarded by Capt. Williams and
picked crew from the Kate, and sailed around the |
lake right handsomely finally casting anchor. The
work OF the sailors in reeng the sails, looking like
so many Brobdinagan buccaneers prize-ship of |
the Lliputan navy afforded no little entertainment
to the idlers on the wharf.
What the Recorder intends to do with his little
ship we have not heard. 1t will not suit for plea
sure cruise or for any purpose of commerce, and as
the Recorder lives in town, and not on the lake, we
shouldn't wouder to hear Of his feeling like the man
of small family who once won an elephant in rattle.
Any one wanting to buy the West Wiud, we think,
can get it at discount upon original valuation.
