Annual Cruise of sho New Haven
 Yacht Club-To che Westward This
 Year-The Rendezvous At the Thim-
 bles-Cemmodsre Seymour's Orders
 The club Enthusiastic.
 The happy sailors, who are enrolled on the membership list of the New Haven Yacht club, have been busy for many days prepar~ ing their proud craft for the clubs annual cruise, which opens to-day. The masts have been soraped, the rigging repaired and the keels thoroughly cleaned. When the fleet assemblies at the Thimbles to-day, it will pre- sent as natty and fine an appearance as any yacht fleet along the Atlantic shore. The
 yachtsmen arc enthusiastic and will turn out
 in full members. The selection of Commo-
 dore Seymour has met with approval on
 every hand, and he will be warmly support
 ed. If the weather does not disappoint the
 jolly mariners, the cruise under Commodore
 Seymour will be one of the best in the his-
 tory of the club. An unusually large num-
 Der of boats will accompany the fleet. The yachts will leave their anchorage of the club house this afternoon and hasten away to the Thimble Islands, the appointed rendezvous. Sunday will be spent here and the yachtsmen will amuse themselves iR the happy manner that yachtsnen always do. The Thimbles will be the farthest point east the yachts will go this time. Unlike former years when the anchors were raised early Monday morning in response to the signal gun from the comm0dore's boat, the point will be turned westward and the boats will speed away toward Black Rock. They will pass New Haven harbor under full sail on the first run of the annual cruise of 1859. Black Rock, few miles below Bridgeport, will be the first port made. Tuesday the vessels will proceed to New Rochelle where Commodore Seymour will call consultation of the captains, and the further course for the cruise will be de, cided. It Is probable that the fleet will | touch at Port Jefferson, Cold Spring Harbor, Northport, Larchmont and Greenwich. The yachtsmen will be entertained at several places, notably at New Rochelle. Commo ldore Seymour's orders have been mailed to eevery member of the club and are as fol | 1ows
