RESTING FOR THE NIGHT AT MORRIS COVE,
MORRIS COVE, August Ia, 1878,

NORRIS COVE, August Ia, 1873
The Pavilion at Glen Cove has the reputation OF
being drst class house, and to all intents and
purposes the proprietor has done everything In his
power to sustain the good name he has so Justly
earned. Living in FIRST class house may be the
acme OF Jenkins happiness, but I confess have
weakness for something more stirring and active
than the ordinary existence OF watering place life
and therefore looked forward to the ad-
vent OF the New York Yacht Club with
the most pieasurable antic!pations. Yesterday
the weather was charming, with a pleasant
! southery breeze, and the ladies' took an unusual
interest in yachting. 1t was thing to rouse
them up; 80 out came impromptu yachting COS
tunes and sundry councils were held with ladies'
maids as TO "Wbat shall we wear to-nightYn IL

worn with the lace overskirt, did the arrival OF
the yachts TO the nautically inclined. Altogether
the people about the Pavilion appeared happy, and
everybody who had q bro:her-in-law or cousin
who was part owner in q sixteen-foot cot boat
remembered the whole record OF the craft, and
faithfully rccounted the yarn to his or her listening
friends.
VIEW OF THE COMING SQUADRON.
From of the piazza all had u good view OF the
yachts as they rounded Sands Point, and, lunlng
up In the breeze, stretched up the bay. The
massive Dreadnaught stanch and sound, TT to
cruise round the world, had her admirers and the
new schooner Clio, with her clean and shapely
bow, was also closely observed. The ladies' how.
ever, paid more attention TO the Palmer and Foam,
as the virgin white had more attraction to their
criticising ewes than dingy black. though adorned
with the customary gold streak The stately
Alarm and the weatherly Rambler anchored
close to one another with the sloops Vision and
Oracle close alongside. The last three have each
got well-knOwn reputation, and the former VIII
make hers when she catches the rest Of the fleet in
about single reef breeze. The Rambler figured to
advantage last season in the races for the Ocean
Challenge Cup, and the Vision and Oracle have both
earned reputation that requires no trumpet to
noise in yachting circles. The s0ops West Wind,
Kate, Vindex and Ariadne also there to answer
for themselves. The renovated Idler looks q beauty
all over, with her long black hull aud tapering
spars and the steam yachts wave, Emily and

pleasure craft Alter the steamer Scawanhaka had
