During the past few weeks Su-
, perinfsndent William c. Hearn has
! been Very busy at the Cambridge
Yacht Club headquarters, having
the house and grounds put in shape
for the regatta next week ,and while
he HIS a few finishing touches to
put on, it is quite generally con-
ceded that the property has never
been so attractive before as it is
this year. This statement, how
ever. should not be taken to mean
that the house and grounds are not
usually we'll kept by Mr.. Hearn for
suck is not the case. On the con-
trary, the members of the Club
have frequently called attention to
the exceptionally well-kept condi-
ton. and the Club is spoken of as
The Spotless Place in Spotless
Town
Darring the past few months
there have been a number of chan
ges made in the interior of the
building. The billiard table in
the, large room to the right OF the
hall. as one enters, has been put
into good condition, and a new pool
table installed in the large room
to the left. The reading room has
been removed upstairs, and now
occupies one of the rooms that op-
en- on the rear porch. The card
room, which is one of the two
front rooms upstairs, has been
renovated, and with the doors and
windows open, has been remarkably
pleasant during the hot summer
evenings. Across the hall the la
dies room has been fixed UP, and
is so attractive with its beautiful
mahogany furniture that it cannot
bus be pleasing to every lady of
good taste.
The grounds are charming; ev-
erything that would mar their
beauty has been removed, and it is
generally accepted that they are
the prettiest grounds connected
with any yacht club in the State
TIE two storms the latter part of
June wrought, apparently, fearful
damage to them, as trees were
BLOWN down limbs torn from other
and the grounds generally
lated, but all of this has
cleaned up, and the grounds
re in first-class condition.
