THE ANNUAL CRUISE TO THE EASTWARD
GLEN COVE THE RENDEzvoUs--THE YACHTS
IN THE FLEET.
GLEN COVE, July 23 1875.
the number OF yachts belonging to the Brook
lyn Club that rendezvoused here last evening gives
evidence that the annual cruise OF his organiza-
ton Will be no mean affair. During the afternoon
and evening vessel after vessel dropped their
anchors on the eosey Pavilion Hotel, and when
the Madeleine at sundown fired her gun and
hauled down her colors, substituting the night
pennant OF the Commodore eighteen yachts were
about the flagship. Fifteen Of these are on the
roll or the club, while the balance pleasure craft
well and iayorably known in these waters. They
had come from various points, and. without
doubt make the largest fleet tnat ever gathered
on this pretty little village, sitting like an emer-
aid at the entrance of Hampstead Harbor. Those
that ran up from G0wanus Bay met with varying
fortune. Some were becalmed for a time, and
boats less speedy, obtaining favoring pufls,
showed their heels to the others ana made the
anchorage long time IN advance The day was
fair for the start and the large number OF guests
that each yacht had on board, together with
those that the Seawanhaka brought up, made
grand gathering. Many OF the yachtsmen took
supper on board their respective vessels in pref
erence TO visiting the hotel, and there was but
little stir on shore during the entire evening.
Had not one been enabled to observe the eXqui-
sitely modelled craft anchored of the dock, 1t
would have been dit1cut TO believe that the anna
teur sailors OF TINS spirited organization were
ABOUT beginning their yearly excursion. The alb
sence OF the bluecoated gents from the hotel was
marked contrast to last years animated lncep-
tion OF the cruise, and produced NOT little COM
ment. Be this as IL may, there Is material pres
ent Tor the pleasantest OF all such events, and
long before the squadron qsbands there will un-
doubleday be the unanimous opinion that the an
nual sail mas been success.
At eight O'Clock the captains or the various
yachts were ordered on board the 1agshlp. so
soon as practicable there was general attend
ance, when, after consultation, it was agreed to
get under way this morning about ten O'Clock
and proceed TO Lloyd's HarDor. Here the feet
