NEW HAVEN YACHT CLUB.


 The 'tClambake,, at Double Beach No Races on Account of the Heavy Lowering Condition of the Weather Fun at Double Beach-A Ball Game A Fine 'sBake'' - Speeches - A
 Spirited Sail Home In Quick Time.
 The opening sail of the New Haven Yacht club occurred yesterday, nearly the entire Aotilla going to Double Beach, where "clambake" was served.
 At 845, when tho boats were advertised to start, the weather was dense, heavy and foggy. One could scarcely distinguish the yachts lying at anchor off the club house, but shortly it began to clear little, and the yachtsmen with their friends began to put out in skiffs, and the naptha launches which were darting about hither and thither carrying commands, arranging the boats and making themselves generally useful. The steamer Richard W.Law, which had been chartered to attend the fleet, lowed them out as far as the buoy at the mouth of the harbor. When they got there, however, 1t was found that what little wind there was blew contrary, and so it became necessary for them to be X towed the remainder of the distance to the beach. Thus all possibility of races was precfuded.
 Arrived about noon at the beach Cap tain Henry Clark, the proprietor of the Doublt, Beach house, and his assistants ' proceed to attend to the "bake." It con- | sisted of five bushels of long clans, two bushels of oysters, one bushel of white 5 potatoes, one bushel of sweet potatoes, one | Jx,1>z 1or nfa he ar "a | 100 chickens. During the afternoon two ball mines were picked from the yachtsmen, who amused those present until the gong wal sounded announcing the readiness of the "bake.n It was served on the lawn under the trees, and was enjoyed by about 15' people. Hon. N. D. Sperry made shor | speech afterward.
 The weather had in the meantime becom quite clear and stiff breeze had sprunl m. so the schooners and sloops wer' enabled to sail home. They started abou 4 o'clock. arriving here at 5.
 Great credit is due to the entertainment committee, consisting of E. 8. Perry, J. H Parish, G. W. Hum, for the successfu manner in which the program was carrie
 elements. For althoEeh there were n races, yet the beauty of the scene at tn
 bsach, the feer of yachts in the haroo and the beauty of the surrounding snore
 all made up scene which could not fa of appreciation by all who saw it. in following is the list of yachts with thoe
