etc. The weather was all that could be de-
sired. The forenoon was passed away pleasant
~ by the crowd in dancing, swinging, etc., the
sports of the day not occurring until after the
arrival of the noon train. The first thing on
the programme was the single scull race, in
which there were but two entries-Gibbons
and Hollihan-and it proved very fine race
throughout. Hollihan won by half boat
length; no time taken. The prizes we're gold
medal valued at SIS to first, and silver
medal valued at $40 to second. In the pair
cared working boat race there was only one
entry-Grifin and mate-and they pulled over
the course and received the first prize, SIS.
Next came the trial of the jumping qualities of
a number of entries, and Mr.. James Mannion
carried off the prize of 49, Mr.. Mannion also
carried off the first prize in the foot race, SIS,
and Mr.. Desmond the second, 50. The base
ball contest was won by the Dirigees of this

The Sons of York.

Owing to an unaccountable accident, Hon.
Joseph A. Locke's speech at the reunion of the
Sons of York appeared twice in the report as
the second time is Mr.. L. B. bennett. Mr..
Locke made good speech, perhaps good
enough to print twice, but Mr.. bennett made
a good speech also, certainly well worthy of
being published once at least. 1t was humor-
GUS in its character and many of the points
made were exceedingly bright and witty. We

PORTLAND YACHT CLUB.
Sailing Over of Race of the Second and
Third Glass Vessels-The Vixen the
Winner.


Winner.
1t will be remembered that the race for the
second and third class yachts was sailed on the
I'd inst. the Vixen winning, the Casco and
Vim coming in second and third. Capt. j. P.
Thomas, of the Constance, protested against
the decision on the ground that it was foggy at
the time and the judges were unable to say
positively that the yachts had sailed over the
prescribed course, therefore the regatta COM
mittee decided that the race should be sailed
over again yesterday.
The weather yesterday, though unsettled and
with indications of fog, was favorable at the
start steady northeast wind prevailing. Five
yachts entered, and at II a. m. good start was
made in the following order:-Sloop Willie,
Capt. X. d. Atwood; sloop Constance, j. P.
Thomas; cat-rigged Edith, A. M. Smith; sloop
Vixen, Richardson, and sloop Milly. A. K.
Paul. The Willie was the frs to round Spring
Point buoy, then followed the Vixen, Edith
Constance and Milly. The course was to Green
Island, thence to Trundy's Reef buoy and re-
turn, distance of eighteen miles.
1t was regarded as favorable chance
throughout, the wind, though not strong, be-
ing very steady. The Vixen returned first in
2-29-52 standard time followed by the others in
the order given below in the table of official
figures:
