The Programme of the Brooklyn
Yacht Club Cruise.

me season Is now approaching when the
yachtsmen take their annual vacation, leaving
the cares OF business for two or three weeks to
reVei III inc iresh air and cool breezes of the
sound There Is not, perhaps, In the world q
more beautiful cruising ground than IL found i'm
Long Island Sound. magnificent expanse OF
water, nearly andlocked and surrounded with
harbors, inlets and beautifully wooded lands can
not fail to be appreciated by the yachtsman who
for many dreary months has been tied to the
counting house, with no fresher landscape to
soothe the eye than the garing streets OF the CITY,
There can be nothing more exhilaratng than
cruise up the Sound after six months close atten-
ton to business. The fresh breeze, the fleet yacht
dashing through the water, tossing the spray from
her bows, and the relief from the noise and turmoil
of the cty-all tend to make one forget the cares
Of life, and for while give way entirely to the en-
chantment or the scene.
