Portland Yacht Club.

The regular monthly meeting of the Port
land Yacht Club was held at the rooms of the
club, on Wednesday evening, Oct. LIST. The
sloop yacht Viva having been sold, a vacancy
existed in the office of Commodore of the
club, and Vice Commodore William Senter,
Jr., was elected to that office. and Capt. w.
Willis Goold of the yacht Tempus was elected
Vice Commodore. AS the lease OF the club
rooms expire this year, committee was APP
pointed to arrange for club accommodations.
By vote of the club a supper and dance at
the Cape Cottage was rendered to ex-Commo-
dore Paul. who is about to leave the city, and
a committee was appointed to arrange the al
fair, which will probably take place on Oct
9th, and will be substituted for the usual fall
picnic Of the club.
The yachting season lasts from May 18th to
Oct. LIST, and as the meeting on Wednesday
was the last of the regular monthly meetings.
semi-annual reports were made by the officers
of the club. The report of the Secretary
showed that the membership of the club has
increased by three during the season, and
there are now Ill active members. -Four
Yachts have been sold out of the club, and
have left this port, while four new ones have
been added. Several yachts of the club
visited Mt. Desert during the summer. and
most of the others made shorter trips. Eight
regular meetings have been held, and spring
cruise and spring regatta took place, as well as
three private matches between yachts of the
club. The tenth anniversary of the club was
celebrated in pleasant manner in the spring.
To show the increase of yachting, as well as
A.. ~ land
yachting port, the following figures have been
taken from the books of the club. Many
yachts have probably been in port here which
have not been reported at the club, but by the
books it appears that So yachts from other
ports have visited us this summer, and at least
half of them more than once. OF these q
were large, first class yachts, including some Of
the finest in the country, representing eight
yacht clubs 10 yachts belonging to the New
York Yacht Club, II to the Eastern, 5 to the
Boston, / to the Atlantic, and 1 to the Leawan-
haka clubs. Most of these yachts were here
between the middle of July and the middle of
September, and many of them spent several
days in this port.
The Treasurers report showed a handsome
balance on hand and the club in q flourishing
financial condition.
The report of the regatta committee showed
that the annual challenge cup regatta took
place on May 23d of this year, and that two
private matches between the sloop yachts
Marie and Oracle were sailed, both being won
by the Marie. The first class cup is now held
by the club, the Viva having been sold The
second class schooner cup is held by the
MALTA nd h. olo cclo NV l,r
Twilight. The third class cup is held by
the club.

The Excursion of the seaso,,

The last excursion this season to the White
Mountains over the Portland & Ogdensburg
railroad takes place tomorrow, the train leaving
Portland at a. IN. This promises to be the
most pleasurable of any yet given to this beau
tiful region, and will undoubtedly be literally
patronized, as it should be. In order that all
may be sure of seat, the sale of tickets will
close tonight and none will be sold tomorrow.
If more than 200 tickets are sold, q special
train will be run for the benefit ot the party,
making no stop between Portland and
Crawfords, except for wood and water,
and will remain at the mountains until after
the regular train. Tickets will also be good
on all trains. This excursion will be postpon-
ed if stormy, and to those who have purchased
tickets and cannot use them ON account of
such postponement, the money will be refund
ed. Tickets are now on sale at the company s
Office, 80 Exchange street.
