successful and hosp1table regatta in
the history of yachting in gulf waters
and which you, as commodore, should
be proud of.
1t is needless to say that everyone
of the New Orleans participants shall
always remember the long distance
race; the hearty and wholesome well
come by the personnel of the Pensa.-
cola Yacht and Motor Boat Club, and
your most entertaining citizens.
We came back feeling our stay with
your good people was too short as you
have so much to enjoy in cruising in
your deep blue sea waters, to which
We were loath to say au revoir.
Our trip to Biloxi was most pleas
ant We remained to witness their re-
gatta, which was also eyentful in the
shape of entries, but lacking in suffi-
Client space as compared with your
deep sea harbor, which is so admirably
suited for yachting.
The collective participants In the
long distance race have expressed
their great appreciation and pleasure
on this occasion to such an extent
that 1 am informed that our next race
for the Carrie cup will bring out at
least seven to ten of our best cruis-
ers.
I want to thank you, your son and
the members of the Pensacola Yacht
and Motor Boat Club for the lovely
attention and pleasure afforded us
while your guests. and sincerely hope
to have the pleasure of a return visit
from you and members of your club.
We will try and make your visit most
pleasant and show you what we have
in comparison to your splendid waters.
With kindest regards to Mrs. Wat
son, yourself and son, in which the
navigators and able seamen of the
Elizabeth" join me, believe me,
Very sincerely yours,
ALBERT MACKIE,
Commodore Thos. c. Watson, Pensa-
cola, Fla.
