Details First Run to Morris Cove.
Dull leaden oolored clouds hung like . pail
over the yachts that gathered at Glen Cove
yesterday. AL the morning and for the
greater part OF the rest Of the day they poured
down oopious foods Of water and made every
one and everything uncomfortable. b
wind blew steadily from the northeast and
every minute rolled up fresh supplies Of
cloud and water and 90 spoiled what 10
usually the best yachting spectacle Of the
year.
Only for q short slime during the afternoon
did IL stop raining and that WAS when Com
modore Vanderbilt's yacht North Star. with
the commodore and his staff on board, steamed
Into the harbor and was ealuted by more
than a hundred guns. Then the rain had
stopped falling and IL was fine Just long
enough for the captains Of the hundred
yachts TO go over to the flagship and attend
che meeting and then get back again to their
own vessels. Just at that time. too. q thin
streak of yellow light showed through the
leaden deafness In the west and this was
taken as an omen by all that the storm would
pass over and that there would be fine weather
for the annual cruise of the New York Yacht
Club.
1t was gloomy all day until about 4 o'clock.
when the feet began TO assume large pro-
portions. Vessel after vessel went to the
anchorage and about that time Vice-Com-
modore Henry Walters steamer Narada
anchored and those captains who were familiaf
with the new yacht routine promptly dippe
their ensigns and the SALUTE was returned
by the Earada dipping hers. Col. Thomp-
son, who has Just chartered the auxiliary
Intrepid, was the first 70 salute.
