1t was a very pretty regatta, although
there was very little wind, and on the last
trip down the river the tide was running
the wrong way, but on the return there was
some very exciting work. The point off
Thunderboit was very difficult to round
against the tide and there was some fouling.
The moon began to glimmer on the waters
when the last boat crossed the line When
the Glance came in she was given three
cheers from the club house. and taking a
tack she sailed back, and as she passed the
club house her crew returned three hearty
cheers for the yacht club. Commodore
Demere's yacht, The Ocean Queen, was also
cheered heartily, and the ladies on the yacht
answered the cheers by waving Of hand
kerchiefs, while the boats crew answered
back cheer for cheer.
The boats all came to anchor off the club
house, where full justice was done to ample
spreads after the invigorating sail, and the
ladies day regatta OF 1888, one of the most
enjoyable in the history of the club, was at
an end.

INCIDENTS OF THE REGATTA.
There were many good natured writings
| over the result of the race. The crew of
the Ocean Queen say they had Jonah on
| board. DIR. b. A. Randall, who insisted on
taking a photograph at every point of inter
est, and they say that they expect to trade
| him off for a mascot on the Fourth of July,
at which time they intend to have the
Ocean Queen show her sailing qualities.
The people aboard the Glance were some
what surprised TO learn that the Zinga's
sailing time was eight seconds better than
| that of the Glance.
The Warsaw excursionists coming in ON
the Pope Catlin got the benefit Of the
closing moments OF the sailing.
The interest in the regatta was manifest
and all look forward to the Fourth of July
regatta as one in which there will be q
more rigid test of the yachts. The trains
were crowded last night by returning
| guests and members of t he yacht club, and
many remained later and enjoyed a moon
| light drive to the city after the dancing
was over.
