A BIG FLEET
Of New York Yacht Club Boats
at CIen Cove.
The Famous America Among Them
and Attracts Much Attention.
Annual Cruise Will Commence. Today Racing
Course Laid Out.

Glen Cove, n. V, July 2l.-The ad-
vance guard of the fleet of the New
York Yacht Club arrived in Glen Cove
off the olub's station, this afternoon.
and by night some so boats were ii ling
at anchor in the harbor. Among the
first to arrive was the big white sloop
Constitution, followed this noon by the
Columbia.
During the afternoon the interest was
considerably heightened by the arrival
from the eastward of the famous
schooner America, which brought over
the cup half q century ago. She an
chored well outside the fleet The big
steam yacht COrsair also came in dur
ing the afternoon and at shutdown there
We're nearly Il score of large yachts and
whole hocks of smaller ones.
1t is expected that when Commodore
Ieayard signals the captains to come
on board the flagship Corona, tomor-
row, over 200 will respond and that
there will be assembled the largest
fleet in the history of the New York
Yacht Club.
After the meeting of the captains
the fleet will prepare for run to
Huntington bay. All the steam yachts
and small sailing vessels will probably
go direct. leaving the racing element
of the fleet to compete for the various
cups offered for a race over 21-
mile course.
The start will probably be some time
after the noon hour from Il stake boat
anchored a quarter of a mile north OF
Matinacook buoy. The committee has
laid out three courses. the one selected
depending entirely upon the wind.

II is now understood that some spec
