LARCHMoNT DIsAFFECTION DENIED.
Yacht Club Gives More than Enough for
Money, It Is Declared.

That the rumors of dissatisfaction in the Larch-
mont Yacht Club have little or no foundation in
fact was learned yesterday after a brief talk
with some OF the members able to speak with au-
thority on the condition Of that popular yachting
organization. A glance backward in the history Of
the club shows that It has been managed con-
servatve lines that its. officers have made haste
slowly, as it were, in adopting features. with
the result that to-day 1t stands model club
TO which any yachtsman may feel proud to be-
long.
To those who have visited the club guests Of
the members and have partaken of their hospital
ity at this charming resort on the Sound the re-
ported complaint of some Of the members because
the dues are 10 be raised from $50 10 so year is
astonishing for It is fact they say that no other
club in the country gives its members so much for
their money as the Larchmont Yacht club. As a
matter of fact. few, if any, Of the members have
obiacred TO the raising of the dues, on the con-
trarv. they have supported the trustees in this
action and the clause in the bylaws will go
into effect the annual meeting OF the club on
Snealing Of the advantages of the club. Of
its officers said that its doors were never closed

lion OF its members. many Of whom live there for
