YACHT CLUB SAILS AWAY
ANNUAL CRUISE STARTS ALMOST IN
 4 DEAD CALM.

Objective Pointis shelter Island, Where
 Races wnl be HeId-Rcturn to be
 Made Saturday-List of Boats in the
 eet-Mariposa Meets Mishap.
 Half dozen boats of the New Ha- ven Yacht club left the club house an- chorage yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock bound on the annual cruise, the objective point being Shelter Island. Many boats in the club are out cruls- ing and several of them are expected to join the fleet on the way to the is land. Arrangements have been made for a very enjoyable trip, and as many as possible will join.
 Heretofore the club has started on the cruise from the Sachem Head Yacht club, along with that club. Very often the cruises were to distant points, which was much to the disadvantage of the smaller boats. The cruise this year will be a short one. The destin- ation is Shelter Island. Yesterdays run was to Duck Island, where the fleet remained at anchor over night. To- day they will go on to New London. Here the fleet will come to anchor off the Pequot house. Wednesday the plan will be to cross the sound to Deering's Cove, Shelter Island. At this place races will be held between the crews of the different yachts. Friday the fleet will leave Deering's Cove for the Thlm- ble Islands, coming back to New Ha- ven on Saturday
 Those who started, together with the boats, are Commodore Cole, with the flagship Southern Cross; Vice Commo- dore F. N Searles, with his schooner, Hooddoo: Rear Commodore Joseph B. Smith with the Catherine: C. M. Wayland yacht Viola; John M. Grouse, yacht Gypsy; George H. Townsend, Ed, yacht Mariposa; Thomas A. Haley and c. k, Stormont, yacht Natalia; Myron R. Durham in the Diana.
 An arrangement has been made with view to increasing the interest in the cruise. The commodore will offer cup to go to the winner of the greatest number of points of the squadron runs. The classes are to sail together, and comprise a single class, with time allowance In each days run the first yacht will receive five points, the sec ond yacht three points, the third yacht two points, and the fourth one point. In case the result Is tie it will be sailed off at New Haven under the di rection of the regatta committee.
 At the start there was very little wind to get out of the harbor
 Commodore Cole had several guests aboard his yacht. The Mariposa, jlb and mainsail boat, owned by George H. Townsend, ran aground on the east side of the channel while getting under way and was assisted off again by an oyster sloop.
 The schooner Fearless, owned by Att torney Charles s. Hamilton, was pre- vented from sailing with the fleet ow- ing to the fact that the yacht had not been able to ship crew. The Fearless will probably start from here on We'd nesday and poin the fleet at Shelter 1s- land.
