The Courier CorrespondenG Aboard the
 Fleet Tells What Was Dome Last Sum-
 day.
 SroNY GREEK, August 5.
 The Yacht club squadron has passed de- ightful day resting at anchor. The company is now made nearly complete by the arrival this afternoon of the Ferguson and the Hap py Thought The Flora has not yet arrived and it is thought she preferred making 8 course direct from New London rather than stem the tide in the teeth of the ''dead aheadn wester that prevailed to-day.
 All day long and now as we write the usual civilities of the first day out-and they are pleasant ones indeed-have been going on. Constantly the. little tenders are plying from yacht to yacht loaded to the rail with visiting parties and already the charming abandon that only yachtsman knows makes jolly con- tentment among them all.
 The suusdron numbers fourteen sail, which is one of the largest fleets that ever bruised to the eastward.
 Even in this well sheltered harbor the strong breeze has madea sea that made the graceful craft ride restleSsly as if nettled by
 the restraint that held them, and as if wish ing they might break away and be off and go dashing over the bright waves.
 Sunday is in the code observed by the omission of all guns, so the colors are quietly set and struck at a still signal from the flag ship.
 Soon aftsr sundown Fleet Captain Dudley visited each yacht and left orders for the captains to assemble aboard the flagship at o'clock to the first capta3ps' meeting of the cruise, the result of which was lnstructl on from the commodore that on the course for ' A, KIA aoi1 ot and keep we'll to the north shore as far as ] Cornfeld hghtship, SO in the event of bad weather Saybrook can Do easily made. In the hurried reports of the Sunday pa- pers very-pertinent errors in stating the order of arrival were made. Correctly, the sLouise'' was first and Starlight" second. SAFE ARRIVAL IN aREENPoRT. GRERNPoRT, N. Y, August 6. The squadron left the Thimble Islands at I half-past five. The favering off shore breeze gave the boys a chance to set their light sails. Nearing Plum Gut, however, the freshening wind caused them to take them in and they had good wholesale breeze up Gardners Bay. The Starlight was the last l to get under way, but pulled up to the eighth anchor at intervals after 1920 when the Wild Duck arrived. The rest came in in the following order: Louise, Happy Thought, Marguerite, Endeavor, Ferguson, Wayward,
 Starlight, Zephyr, Acme, Defiance, Mon tauk. J. G. r. Boys in Jail.

 Crockett, sixteen, John Garter, twelve, and Willie May, aged ten. These boys were con-
 victsd by Justice Metcalf, at Orange, yester-
 day morning on a charge of stealing fruit and were each fined one dollar, which with
