 On behalf of the Norwalk Yacht club, Captain Hill of the Norwak club invited the members Of the New Haven club to stop over there for a while on the cruise next summer. He said that the club at Norwalk is not so large as the New Haven club, but if the mem bers here care to sample 1t they will find the hospitality there as great.
 Attorney Jacob ?. Goodhart followed Captain Hill. He told of a cruise he took long ago with the late Frank Hiriman and of the joys which land lubber naturally experiences upon a heavy sea for the first time. His ad- dress was replete with good stories told in most entertaining manner and when he had finished speaking the or chcstra struck up For Hes a Jolly Good Fellow"
 Mir. Pardee next read letters of re- gret from Governor Rollin s. Woodruff and Mayor James B. Martin. He then called upon W. w. Price, captain of the Irish Fairy. He and his able mate, George G. Powning sang We Were on the Irish Fairy and Tn the Shade of the Old Appletree," which was one of the hits of the evening.
 Commodore Henry F Parmelee made the closing speech of the evening. He spoke of the increased interest shown by the New Haven citizens in the yacht club and of the increased num- Der of boats at the harbor. He was glad, he said, that the members had got over the idea that 1t cost a great deal to have boat and that in conse- quence of this change of idea, the fleet had been largely increased. Racing, not cruising, he said, was the best sport in the sound, and that there was but one club last year which did more racing than the New Haven club. and | that was the Larchmont club. Cap.an | Jeffcott, he said. starred the enthu- i siasm on the part of the members of I the New Haven club and Commodore l Osborn has increased it many times.

 ! We carried off all the silver from 1 Sachem's Head last year and the yea, i before, he said. This year we will re. peat 1t l hope. But we must have
 larger boats. Nothing is more enjoya.
 ble than the knockabout, but New Ha. ven is one of the richest cities De, capita in the country. We should
 have racing boats which can compete
 with the big ones. Frederick F
 Brewster's Elmina has done so sue l ctssfully. There should be more bis ! racers here.
 This year we plan to have an one, ' regatta for the big clubs here. \ doubt if we take an event, but ou
 opponents will see that we have in,
 right spirit at least, and we will he
 come ambitious to own racing boat
 that can win.
