 & EI The severe storm which set in Satur- day noon interrupted many plans. A number of picnics and excursions had been arranged, but the storm interfered with most os them. Some who went away i,a tiie morning returned by after noon in the rain and with feeling that Dicnics and excursions held in the month os July could not be depended upon for good weather. St. Swithin's day indicated much rain for this month and most of August. There are few who believe in these indications and more who do not. @
 The coming of the New York Yacht club fleet to Morris Cove this year was of more interest than usual. The illum- ination of the feet is said to have been finer than ever before witnessed here and was enjoyed by hundreds who went down to the Cove. A goodly number went to the shore Saturday to see the fleet depart and were well repaid for their early trip. Disaster nearly 0ver- took the Quisetta, for it is pretty sure that if the craft had not been released from the reef quickly the storm that so soon came would have wrecked, the fine yacht. The people on the visiting yachts speak well of their short stay at Morris Cove. The yaehtsmen always like to make this stopover in their an- nual cruise. Some of the larger yachts were not able to come up opposite the HnUa hr1f ina fltyf fba oJyz2 water. However, when the main ship channel is dredged to the depth planned by the United States engineers, the largest, of the yachts will be able to come up the harbor.
