circles this year than for many years, and at
the next meeting of the club several new
members are TO be elected. 1t is understood
that fifteen have thus far been added to the
club this spring. The rules are more liberal

a very large number Of entries. The entries

regatta.
Nhao ..,1T TIL H.
the Tybee pennant and big d. lies is being
discussed. and it is learned that a guarantee
was effected yesterday that the prizes are
to be as large as those given the winners in
the pilot boat regatta during May week. 1t
is understood that the Tybee regatta will
be on July A. and the prizes, which will
aggregate 500, will bring some fast sailers.
MORNING NEWS reporter was shown a
letter last night from a Brunswick bar pilot
stating, that the Telegram and Glynn, and
probably the Oracle, will participate in the
race. The Telegram is being put in shape
and proposes to redeem herself in the
regatta.
Capt. Dean of Doboy has informed Capt.
w. j. Thompson that he wants to enter the
Maria Timmons. She is said to be one Of
the fastest sailers in southern waters.
The Adie OF Southport, N. c., which
handled herself SO well in the May regatta,
10 OAPOStou- lici Capbhlu was ulSDly pleaSeQ
with his reception here and promised to
come back and sail for the Tybee pennant
1t is not thought that Charleston pilot
boats can well refuse to come over, and es-
pecially the Frances Elizabeth, which car
ried off the pennant last summer. In fact,
Capt. Swan said that the Frances Eliza
beth will defend the pennant, and
there are many about Savannah who
think she is able to carry it another year as
Capt. Swan is an expert sailor and his boat
handles well and is an ocean greyhound.
The Pride and Sophia Amelia K are also
expected.
The Neca, Sprite, Mary Odell and John
K. Wilder will compose the home fleet, with
the Neca prime favorite and the Sprite
close second. In fact, the race it is thought,
viii be close between the Neca, Sprite,
Frances Elizabeth, Telegram and Maria
Timmons, and the field will have as mauy
hackers as the Neca and Frances Elizabeth,
which are clagSed az the closest rivals
