In very few weeks the yachting season
of 1895 will be opened, and, from present
appearances, it will be one of the hveltest
ever seen in American waters. The De
fender Vallzyrio fasc0 of last year, which
it was thought would give yachting a ma
teriaI baekset for some time TO come. has
apparently had directly opposite effect.
The clubs have selsoted their officers for
the ensuing year, and the regatta commit
tees are busy arranging special features for
tho boat owners.
The little half ratsrs which did so much
to keep up the interest in yacht racing last
year viii play q prominent part in this
years sport.
The cold and otherwise unpropitious
weather which has initiated against
yachtsmen in various parts of the country
during tho past month has given way,
and now th0S more favorable conditions
prevail the activity among the yachting
fraternity is pleasant to see. Many of the
smaller boats are already in commission,
and hundreds of others are on the ways
and ready for launching.
