CRUISE
COMPLETE
SUCCESS

Yesterday when the last OF the little
canvas decked vessels sailed into Potter's
Cove there came to q successful close the
best cruise in the history of the Rhode
Island Yacht club and one OF which the
bronzed shippers and participants will be
proud TO tell when their hairs are gray
and they no longer find the blood thrill
ing, as Of old.
There may have been other pleasurable
trips and Cruises but there has been no
week In all the history OF the club when
there has been such una lloyed and con-
tinued pleasure as has been the cas- IN
the cruise Just ended From the time the
club began until the last sail was furled
iious and THIS seemed TO have put a
kindred feeling TO the hearts OF those at
ports wherever the club anchored and un-
usual effort was made to make the mem
bers at home.
The proof Of the size Of this year $
club cruise Is seen in the statement that
altogether there were 81 yachts that par
ticipated, the largest number at any one
time being as The greatest number
heretofore engaged In any annual cruise
Of the club was 36 two years ago. while
last year only 81 reported at the rendez-
vous at Newport, and at no time after
that during the week were there more
This year, in addition TO the 81 of the
Rhode Island club several OF the Edge
