Arrival Of the ssFrOlico and s.FOlIy'.
The yacht-rigged schooners Frolic
and Folly, built for the oyster police
service by III. Brusstar a. Bros, of
Baltimc re, arrived here on Saturday
night, having made the trip of 33
miles from Baltimore in exactly two
hours and forty minutes. Both ves-
sells eftBaltimore at 4:40 p. m. and
reached Annapolis at 1920 p. m. They
had q brisk northeast wind .all the
way down, and kept together so
closely as to be within speaking dis
tance nearly all the time. The Fro
lie" started a trife ahead of the
Polly" but the latter soon caught up
and passed her, and kept the lead the
balance of the trip, arriving here
about one length in advance of her.
The twin schooners carried every
inch of sail to which they were en-
titled.
The trip from Baltimoresto Annap-
oils is usually made by steamer in
2 hours, and it is claimed by some
that both the schooners will be able
to cover the distance within that
time with favorable winds. The
vessels are models of marine architec-
ture, and are much admired here
