Yachting cannot be said to Be dourishing |
this summer. There are fewer boats m
commission than last year. and while
Arthur Curtiss James. the commodore OF
the New York Yacht Club, has outlined
several new features in connection with
the annual cruise. beginning on Thursday
week. 1t does not look rs II the showing
at Glen Cove, Long Island. where the boats
are to rendezvous on August 4, would prove
Of very brilliant character. Many OF the
most important steam yachts which have
taken part in the cruises in previous years
will be missing from the scene, among
them the North Star which Is in Europe, |
where her owners, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, intend to use her for cruising |
in Scandinavian waters; the George j.
Gould yacht Atalanta, Frederick W. Van |
berbilt's big boat Warrior, Elbridge T. |
Gerrys Electra and Henry A. c. Tayior's
Wanderer. while j. Pferpont Morgan has
thus far given no indication OF Joining |
the fleet on board hfs steam yacht Corsair
One OF the features Of the cruise which |
Is meeting with much commendation is |
tho decision to hold the races for the |
Kings Trophy and the Astor Cup after |
the squadron returns south from Vine |
yard Haven, instead Of on the way up. |
Last year, and In most Of the previous sea-
sons, it has been the custom to have these |
races on the second and third days of |
the cruise-that is to say on the way up to |
Vineyard Haven or Bar Harbor-and the !
result was that most Of the fleet scattered |
and took no further interest in the trip. |
Commodore James's yacht, the Aloha H. |
is the flagship of the fleet. and 1t IS on his |
quarter deck that all the owners Of boats |
and members Of the New York Yacht Club |
will assemble on the afternoon Of Thurs
day week at Glen Cove to pay their re-
spects and to receive final instructions !
from his flag captain, Franklin A. Plum |
