PORTLAND YACHT CLUB-The last excur.
sion for the season Of the Portland Yacht Club
TOOK place yesterday, and at the time of the
sailing of the squadron one can hardly imagine
loveler picture than our harbor presented
The veil of mist had lifted sufficiently to rem
der objects near and far plainly Idescenible,
the suns rays ixlparted cheerful warmth, at
the same time that they gilded steeples and
house-tops, the water was of a mirror like sur
face, and the little wind there was hardly suffs-
cent to stir the folds of the yacht signals which
chung lazily to the masts. The description,
"like painted ship upon painted ocean" was
most happily illustrated by the vessels after
they had left the wharf and were headed down
the 'rbor, which so still was the scene that
the voices of the quartette on the Ray could
distinctly be heard, as the notes of "Larboard
Watch Alloy" fell upon the ear, followed by
the clear tones of Capt. Richards bugle from
the Kate.
But as the boats got out into the stream,
where there was more chance to catch what
wind there was, they began to gather head way
and after most delightful sail reached Peaks
Island, the rendezvous. Only four yachts were
able to 60 on the trip, the rest being either
hauled up for the winter, or undergoing
repairs preparating to going into winter quar-.
ters. The four that started were the Ethel
Ray, Sparkle and Kate, and at eleven O'Clock
the Spy, which remained behind to take the
members that could not go at an earlier hour
started for the island.
After arriving at characterization theparty dis
embarked and proceeded to amuse themselves
in various ways until they were called together
to witness the presentation of tokens of regard
and esteem from the Club to the Commodore
and Vice Commodore. These consisted of an
elegant silver yacht service to the Commodore
comprising a large silver water pitcher, salver
slop basin and dozen goblets, on which was
inscribed,
Presented to a-I.IE

CANT brass cannon for use on his yacht, inscrib.
ed the same as the Commodore's present with
the substitution of tne Vice Commodore's name
and title. Both gentlemen made neat little
speeches thanking the Club most heartily fol-
their remembrance, &c. A very handsome
pair OF silver ice-tongs was also presented to
the Commodore by one Of the honorary mem
bers. After the presentation the Club sal
down to one of Jones' splendid chowders at the
Union House, after which the joke and Jest,
mingled with song, went round, and at later
hour the party re-embarked and had most
delightful sail home, every one concurring in
the opinion that it was most fitting wind up
to the season of 49, ass-
