One OF the pleasantest happenings OF the National
holiday was the regatta of the Larchmont Yacht
Club. which was by all odds the most successful
and satisfactory officers. members and guests
probably in the history Of the organization. The
day could not have been more perfect and the
picture presented about the clubhouse before the
boats sent their journey could not haW
been improved upon. The fleet OF racers made an
excellent start in fine breeze. and the result was
a good brisk race calculated TO live In the memory
of all who Witnessed It the most enjoyable
regatta for many years On the club steamboat

mont, New Rochelle and their vicinity, While the
steam yachts which gathered by the score to see

The reception given at the Seawanhaka clubhouse
at oyster Bay in honor OF the visiting squadron
of the Atlantic Yacht Club was another pleasant
incident OF the day. The scene at the clubhouse,

day and the occasion, OF the handsomest and
livellest description. Here and there were groups
of pretty girls in charge of the bronzed and hos
pita bic yachtsmen whose uniforms contributed
much the effectiveness and beauty Of the picture.
In the evening the fleet OF yachts was ILLUMINATED
and there fine exhibition Of fireworks. Some
Of those present were Mrs. S. Van Rensselaer,

party OF the season. and one which had several
surprises. Mrs. Kernochan's efforts to keep her

the lawn. about which the guests sat and enjoyed
one Of the mos, original entertainments ever Wit
messed in Newport The surprise was the intro
ducton Of a fine Aderney COW. whose horns were

neck was a foral wreath. The appearance OF the
gentle creature was greeted with uproar.ous laugh
ter and applause. which. instead OF exciting her
cowshlp was received by large and graceful
swish OF the tail and half-conscous twist OF tho
head The practical purpose for which the animal
was introduced was enacted in the mixing, and tns
