In HOLLY BEACH
Yacht Club Holds Important Meet
inq. New Club House TO
BE opened Soon
BRIDGE TENDER BREAKS HIS ARM

The regular meeting of the Holly
Beach Yacht club was held in the bor-
ough hall last Friday evening and in
the absence of the president the meet
ing was presided over by Francis G.
Menamin, Esq. Secretary Dowler was
present and read the minutes. The
secretary reported that the ground on
which the club house stands was all
paid for, but that the association would
have to exert itself to sell more bonds
in order to complete and furnish the
building, 1900 more being needed for
this purpose. At the suggestion of
Judge Voorhees, special finance COM
mittee was appointed for the purpose
of trying 10 sell more bonds. This
committee consists of Chas. A. Norton,
John Reese, H. H. Voorhees,, Philip P.
Baker. F. Sutton, Carl A. Haswin,
Julius Rauch, s. f. Mcknight and
r. w. Ryan. Councilman Chas. l..
Nickerson was elected commodore and
II. III. Voorhees, vice commodore. Ce-
Gil Ober was elected official measurer.
The members had hoped that enough
funds would be available to insure the
opening of the club house on the Fourth
of July, but this is found to be impos-
sible, and the opening will take place
at an early date as possible. The re-
gatta committee was directed to lay
out course and arrange for prizes at
regatta to be held sometime during
the summer. New interest is being
aroused in the club. The following
new members were taken in at the
meeting: Oliver Bright, Hubert s.
Foster, James McLinden and Donald
B. N. Folsom.
