Early Saturday evening all the yachts
dropped anchor at the clubs favorite
anchorage between Money, High and Pot
Islands, and during the evening informal
dances in honor of the visiting yachtsmen
were given at the Money leland, Pot Isl
and hotels and several of the hotels on the
shore.
Yesterday was spent very quietly by the
yachtsmen in receiving visitors and visit

stormy, but this did not seem to dampen
!; the enthusiasm or spirits of any of the
, jolly tars, and the day and evening passed
most pleasantly to all concerned. The
men retired very early in the evening in
order to be up bright and early this morn
