No sporting event in the entire year
creates so much Of a social disturbance
as the annual cruise Of the New York
Yacht Club, Withdrawing, as 1t does, so
much OF the masculine element from tho
various seaside resorts. The pleasure
craft taking part in this species OF mari
time carnival number anywhere from four
score to moro than double that number
and as they are each of them freighted
with guests II will readily be seen that
dearth of men ensues at Newport,
Southampton, Bar Harbor, Narragansett
Pier, and even I'm the Adirondacks, dis
concerning TO hostesses on hospitality
bent. The rendezvous for this years
cruise Is set for next Wednesday after
noon, off the yacht club station at Glen
Cove, whence the run will DC made on
the following day to Smithtown Bay, and
on Friday to New London, while on Sat-
urday evening the feet will reach New
port, sailing thence on Monday to Vine
yard Haven. On Tuesday the fleet re-
turns to Newport, where the races for the
Astor cups and for King Georges new
cup Will be sailed on Wednesday and
Thursday week, the cruise coming to a
close on Friday, August l6. OF course, the
presence Of the yachts at Newport on
Saturday night and Sunday next, as well
as on tho following Wednesday and Thurs
day, will be made the occasion OF much
gayety there and many entertainments,
but other resorts will suffer by this whole
sale withdrawal of the men from their
accustomed haunts.
In England Goodwood race week ended
on Friday, and King George proceeded
from tho Duke Of Richmond Sussex
country seat to the Solent, where he was
Joined on board the royal yacht by Queen
Mary. her daughter Princess Mary, and

exceptionally brilliant, owing TO the pres
