 "A Splendid D1splay-The John
 HI. Starin ExcursiOn.
 The fourth annual regatta of the New Haven Yacht club will take place tomorrow. The yachts will sail over the new course re- gently adopted by the club. The starting point is four miles down the harbor at Par dee's buoy opposite Morris Cove. From the buoy the yachts will sail ten miles out into the Sound around stake boat and then re- turn to the place of beginning. The steamer Smith Brothers will place the stake boat and remain in the vicinity until after the yachts have passed around it. Heretofore the start has been way up in the harbor opposite Long Wharf and owing to the want of room the yachts have been hudd1ed together so that an list of entries this year is larger than ever before and the yachts average more in size and weight than in preceding races. The steamer John H. Starin will follow the boats over the course, leaving her dock at 10:30 sharp. The regatta committee have made all arrangements that everything will move promptly at the ap- pointed hour. If any of the yachts do not arrive at the starting point at the designated IlIuo the ueoG Will De ordered under sal without them. A splendid opportunity is afforded to families to enjoy good sail and get bracing sniff of sea air from the decks of the Starin. The catering on board this year will be under the management of l.. E. Ryder and Sam Mann, and the public may rest assured that the disagree able experience of last year will will be the best that can be obtained and will be disposed of at reasonable prices. By the time the Starin arrives at the starting point all the yachts will be in position and the race will be started. The return will be made not later than six o'clock and proba- bly, considerably earlier. All the members of the club have tickets for sale, and those wanting staterooms can apply at E. S.
