Inc moonlight cruise Of the Excelsior
Yacht club took place last night altho
1t could hardly be called a sail, as the
wind, which had been strong all day, had
entlrely gone down and there was almost
dead calm. The moonlight was at its
very best and the sailors were there in full
number. The cruise was around the lower
lake, but the desire for a real good sail
suggested to the yachtsmen to try again
when the wind was better.
The Excelsior Yacht club wishes to send
out the cards for the ball on Tuesday
night, and finds that many Of the mem
members are, therefore, requested to send
their addresses to the secretary of the
club, Wilbur F. Thayer, at Excelsior.
