 THE EVENINGS GALA SCENE.
 Ladies, lights, lanterns, music. red fire. | fireworks and every now and then the fash ! ing reports of the little brass cannons on the decks of the yachts turned the anchorage of the club house into striking scene of bril- nance last evening. Resting upon the waters before the verandas of the house was a barge | loaded with fanciful Chinese lanterns In this was Wheeler 6 Wilson's band, which | kept the air and ears of the fair ones alive with delightful melodies. The many yachts were anchored near there, all decked with | lanterns and decorated with fantastic and beautiful designs. The Vixen, which lately beat the Galean at Larchmont and the Anna
 xon at New Rochelle, Wilful and Marguerite
 were especially noticeable. Over all of the brilliant array the moon calmly hung from a | clear sky and tipped the climax of the even- ing pleasure with it's soft silver light Each boat as it lay enveloped upon the \ waters in halos of red fire and lights was heavy with its burden of fair ones, and the | jolly tars kept their sweet companions chat- \ ting, laughing and drinking in the fine music of the band with their soda, ice cream and cake. The ladies seemed enchanted with so many charms to bewitch them and it was only at very late hour that the yachts were finally left. Among the young ladies noticed on the yachts were: Miss H. F. Peck, Mrs. John F. McCauley, Mrs. J. H. Parish, Mrs. All. Coburn, Miss Parker, Miss Gertie Perry, Miss Fannie Sperry, Miss Averill and Miss M Meme of New York.
