Prizes for Daily Runs.
The first four days runs will be ar

intention to have the runs long enough
to afford interesting racing and at the

, finish and get to their anchorage in
sufficient time to visit their fellow
yachtsmen and enjoy the social part of
the cruise. which Is just as important
as the racing. 1t Is therefore decided
to make the harbor starts at an early
hour to allow the contestants to finish
their racing at about 4 100 r. NJ. and
to then have the rest OF the afternoon
for their various enjoyments
Each yacht club at it's home port will
entertain the yachtsmen at the end of
each days run.
1t is the desire of the projectors OF
this cruise that the yachtsmen of the
various clubs along the Sound become
better acquainted with one another and
become more unified in their interests
in the yachting game. This cruise
should tend materially to aid this re-
suit and we trust that you will be at
the rendezvous on September 4. ready
10 spend four or five very pleasant days
on the Sound.
This cruise has been arranged so that
the final run VIII take us to the Hunt
ington Bay Club arriving there. as be-
fore stated. on the evening OF Septem-
bcr and departing early the next
