 .lde at anchor before the clubs
 .ly fitted and ready for Tuesdays
 :. With the many fine boats now bs-
 s1ng to the club its fleet is considered one of the finest and fastest that any like or ganization can boast of. The flyers of the fleet are prepared and close contest for the prizes in each class is assured. The classes will be more numerous this year than for merly, there being five or six arranged for, and the several boats entered will be assigned to their proper classes at the meeting of the committee this afternoon. The prizes will be purchased to>dsy and Monday, after the en- tries are all in; and besides there is also solid silver challenge cup, presented by Rear Commodore Warner, the Derby challenge cup and the new Palladium cup. A fine course has been selected for the sail. The classes will be started at 10:30 by signal guns from the flagship and keeping to the soathward of the buoyB along the coast make for the buoy off Housatonic river, where they will turn and straan their canvas tor the homeward stretch. A rule of the club compels the squadron to take so1thward course from the bueys, as the smaller and lighter boats might otherwise gain advantage over the heavier ones by longer tack. In former years course inshore of the present ore, leading towards Old Charles Island, was pursued: but since the new buoy was placed of Stratford Point, the club have chosen this place for turning point, as the outlines of the hills on shore make plain landmark, even in heavy fog and mist.
