The Brooklyn Yacnt cub can have no reason TO
complain OF tae weather thus tar on its cruise,
for though the winds have been somewhat ackle.
and now and then falling dead calm, there has
been plenty OF sunshine gnting their way, ana the
lOveliest o moonlight nights have made the waters
OF the Sound Ike a sea OF molten silver. When
the dainty little Sadie ran INTO Morris cove at New
Haven on Thursday night and let go ner anchor,
as the avant-courier OF the neet 1t seemed as II
the stagnation which had settled upon some OF tho
yacht clu1s OF the country had extended to this
aquatic organization, but happily these fears were
groundless, as there are now lying in this pretty
haven SIX schooners and nine sloops, which will
leave here on Monday, under commodore VO0rhls,
Tor the eastward.
THE RUN PROM MORRIS COVE.
No time was lost In getting under way from Nor
ris Cove yesterday morning, as at seven O'Clock
the signal gun to prepare was fired from the Vice
Commodore's yacht, and thirty five minutes after
came the signal for the start, and the yacntsmen
I'd goodby to the nasty sea running In the Cove,
and with fresh west northwest wind and the
sun olaz,ng out In iu splendor, beat out into the
Sound. The slOop Recreation. which had run up
TO the city the night before. accepted invitation
to join the Meet, and sailed with them, as did the
schooners Alice and the Phantom; but the latter
when outside parted company, squaring away for
the eastward. The smooth hull OF the White Wing
led the yachts out by the Five Mile Point and the
buoy on Adams Fall, the Sadie be-
ing next, then the Feurde.Lis Alice
and Sae, the rest OF the smaller craft
were far behind, as they had anchored
nearer New Haven and were later ia catching the

to the work OF running across the Sound to this
port. The wind now naue mere TO the westward,
and, with all san set, the fun commenced. The
Sadie and Recreation had 1t side and side for
many minute, showing the way for the balance OF
the neet but the excellent seamanship displayed
in the former proved too much for the latter and,
displaying great speed aud ability to 60 to wind
ward, soon said adleu to her companion for the
day. The Emma 7. joined the boats at this time.
