member of the Larchmont Yacht Club
and the New York Athletic Club. He
also is the owner of racing stable, and

spells, causing the Rappahannock to
freeze nearly across and preventing
the steamers from making their reg

Tappahannock Saturday and re-
turned to this wharf to remain until
Monday. The officers spent Sunday
very pleasantly visiting their frien is
and strolling through the village.

advantage of the beautiful weather
last week and had their gill net
stakes hauled and are making prep
arations for an early start this spring.
