 After the yachts had taken go-as you please sail around Luddington Rock buoy they returned to the club house about 7:3O o'clock in the evening, where Captain Mans field assigned to each yacht such an anchor age as caused the yachts to form semi-cir- cle with the other yachts in front of the club house. The yachts themselves appeared during the evening to be one long curving blaze of light, nearly all the yachts being to rail. At 7:18 P. m: a. sun set gun was fired from the club house. After the yachts had returned from the afternoon sail and collation. had been served many of the ladies and gentle: men who did not come to the house until evening occupied the verandas in front of the house. while most of those who had gone sailing during the afternoon remained on board the yachts and listened to the excel lent concert given by Colts band of Hart ford, who were seated in gaily decorated barge anchored about fifty feet off in the water opposite the club house. The music sounded much sweeter coming over the water than it would if they had played ln the club house. The concert programme was as follows:
