| One Of the gayest celebrations ever held
| by the Pequot Association came 10 an END
at late hour last evening. With the OK
ception Of disappointment light breeze for
| the yacht races there was not flaw IN the
programme, and everything went oil just
as it was planned. Fully 400 members ana
their guests witnessed the afternoon Sports
and took part in the hop in the evening
The events of the day were started at Two
| O'Clock. For nearly an hour before ln1t
time the grounds in front OF the brilliantly
decorated club house were alive with COZ
tagers absorbed in watching the manoeu-
yers of the yachts with winch the course
was crowded, and listening to the music
discoursed by the Second Regiment band.
When the general preparatory gun was
fired from the judges boat, on =, which were ere
the members of the race committee, all
locked down onto the dock, which was inn
medlately thronged. AS the yachts ma
noeuyered for good position at the start,
description, and when at go y. IN. the first
starters crossed the line at the sound Of the
gun, the band struck up stirring air the
lookerson showed their appreciation of it
by loud clapping. The wind was fresh
enough at the start to make all the yachts
heal slightly and with intervals OF hye MN,
utes the boats followed one another III GOOD
order. Before the smaller boats had gone
around their triangular course once, how
ever, the wind almost died out, and with 1t
interest In the race Ragged.
