YAoHrsMEN TO GO VISITING.
The Savannah Club Preparing for Its
Visit to Charleston.

Visit to Charleston.
Savannah will surprise the Charlestonians
in the regatta on June G. The local yachts
men not only propose to go to Charleston,
but to 20 in force. and the regatta Of the
Carolina Yacht Club will be an event in
Yachting circles long to be remembered in
South Atlantic waters.
The stewards of the Savannah Yacht
Club met at the office Of Isaac Beckett, Esq,
yesterday, Mr.. Beckett in the chair. Com
| modOre T. L. Kinsey, of the Savannah
Yacht Club, was present as the representa-
tive of the yacht owners.
The annual cruise of the club was
| brought up for discussion, and Commodore
! Kiusey stated that on account Of the
| dangers and delays that might be occas-
iQned by the trip over to Charleston, the
/ Yacht owners thought it would be well to
! d away with the store ship, and he there
| fore suggested that If the club would fur
/ nish a tug 20 tow the fleet over, a much
| larger representation of the Savannah
| Yachts would 20 on the cruise. Com
| modore Kinsey represented how courteous
| Charleston yachtsmen had been 10 Savan-
nah, participating in its regattas and pilot
boat races, and that with the assistance Of
| the Savannah Yacht Clubthe yacht owners
would make a good showing on the cruise
next week.
The stewards listened to Commodore
Kinseys remarks with the closest attention,
and in the remarks which followed there
was but one opinion, and that in harmony
with the views expressed by the cOmmo-
dore. The stewards, in consideration of
what tie yacht owners have do Ie in the
past to sustain the club unanimously
passed a resolution providing for the
charter Of a steam tug to take the local
yachts in tow, leavi & here next Monday
morning, June 8, and returning the follow
ing Saturday or Sunday
The tug n iggie, of Capt. George F. Byrnes'
feet has been chartered and will take the
yachts over. The Maggie viii remain over
in Charleston, and members of the club and
their invited guests Will have the privilege
Of the tug on the day Of the regatta. The
Maggie will go over the course on the day
of the regatta, and members Of the club
can 60 over by rail and join the tug at
Charleston. 1t is thought that the Charles
ton and Savannah railway will run and
excursion train the day of the regatta, as
the members of the Savannah yachts which
will participate will kindle general desire
in yachting circles to go over TO Charleston
in force on the morning Of June g.
MIR. W. y. Habersnam said yesterday
that fine view of the course can be had
from Charleston, which is an open course,
something like that of the battery at New
York.
The Savannah feet win take with it no
less than three commodores: Commodore
kinsey Of the Savannah Yacht Club, Com
modore Demere of the Isle Of Hope Yacht
Club, and Commodore Walker of t1e Geor-
gia Re Jatts Association. The following
yachts will go on the cruise:
Tue Eta, flagship Of he Savannah fleet,
Commodore 7. L. Kinsey Of the Savannah
Yacht Club.
The Ocean Queen, Commodore r. NJ.
Demere Of the Isle Of Hope Yacnt Clue.
The Glance, Rear Commodore F. S.

The Naomi, Capt F. c. WILLY.

This make, feet of seven cabin yachts
and TWO Op9l yachts, nine altogether, and
the largest visiting feet ever going abroad
from one port in South Atlantic waters to
participate in the regatta Of a neghDoring
city.
Secretary George W. Haupt OF the Savan-
nah Yacht Club was in receipt Of a letter
Yesterday from the Carolina Yacht Club,
in which the latter says that suitable prizes
viii be offered to smaller yacnt3 so that
mono Of the visiting vessels will be left out
of the regatta, ald this means that the
Corsair and the Nascotte will pa ticiDate,
as they are the only open yachts which are
expected to z or the cruise, although there
appears to be a general desire that Capt.
McIntire viii take the Marie and Capt.
West will go over with the feet little
Oriolc, the stanchest little diamond bottom
boat aud the freest sailer in southern waters.
whose golden coors, it is believed, cannot
be left bebind by any craft of her class
from Maine to Florida.
In order that Savannah may be we'll rep
resented at the regatta of the Carolina
club, Capt William Proctor, with the pilot
boat Neca, and Capt. Charles A. Marmel-
stein, with the pilot boat Sprite, will drop
into the port of Charleston ia time to 90
over the course, aud if Charleston wants to
see a pilot boat race, she has only TO pit
some of her fast sailers against the Neca,
and it is not likely that she will fail to shake
out her sails and contest any course with
the Frances Elizabeth, or any other pilot
boat Of the Charleston fiset
The Savan lah yacht owners look forward
with pleasure to the return Of the cruise, as
they expect to b. accompanied by several
of the yachts of the Carolina club, and the
reciprocal courtesies of the occasion will
mark next week in yachting circles with
white stone.
