After a highly successful trip and
many experiences of the mast pleas
ant character the squadron of the
New York Yacht club which started
on its annual cruise from Glen Cove
on Friday of last week, safely arrived
here last night under the command
of Commodore Frederick G.. Bourne.
A small fleet of the Eastern Yacht
club met the New Workers at some
distance from the shore and gave the
visitors an enthusiastic welcome.
Every yacht blazed forth in gay col
ors and the cannon doomed their sa-
Lutte.
The visitors were invited to the
clubhouse of the Eastern Yacht club
and were there received with lavish
hospitality. The visitors were the
guests of the club at an informal din
ner and later there was an informal
party with dancing and speeches.
Hosts and guests were on deck
early this morning to be in readiness
for the annual regatta which takes
place today. The harbor presented a
beautiful picture with the scores of
gaily befagged yachts and the puffy
little launches which picked their way
through the maze of larger craft. 1t
required considerable engineering to
put order into this chaos and line up
the yachts which took part in the
various events.
