Dancing was then enjoyed, the or
chestra of the First Regiment Band
acquitting itself admirably After sew
eral dances, the formal presentation
and acceptance of the trophy took
place Capt. j. C. Postell made the
presentation and was followed by
Capt. j. Ferris Cam, who gracefully
accepted the trophy on behalf of the
Yacht Club.
Capt. Postell alphabetically, stated
that he was never guilty of making a
speech. There's no man living" said
the captain, "who ever heard me make
a speech" and such was the good
humor of the crowd that one of the
speakers friends remarked, "No,

The presentation was made by Capt.
Posten. because he was the member of
the committee from the clubs that was
chiefly responsible for having secured
the trophy from the Brunswick Bake
Collender Company, the makers of the
bowling alleys that have been estab-
lished in Savannah. He expressed the
pleasure that it afforded him to present
the trophy to the Yacht Club, since his
beloved Hussars Club could not win it.
Capt. George M. Gadsden responded
to Capt. Postell, introducing
Capt. Cam who, in wit
ty and effective speech, received
the trophy. Had there been anything
of good humor lacking, it would have
been supplied by SO neat an effort as
he made. His hits were received with
appreciation that was evidenced by ap-
plause.
Dancing was resumed after the
speaking and was continued until mid
night.
