APOLOGY 



IT 



IF the chorus is not hoarse (no pun intended), with 

 profound apologies to the strictly hunting set 

 of the Myopia Hunt Club, a few Yachting Songs 

 are introduced. Doubtless many in the Club will 

 be reminded of "jolly old yachting days," — the 

 days of the Fortuna, Phantom, Mohican, Active, 

 Maggie, Addie, North Star, — and the Bayadere, 

 owned by " Squire " Merrill. The " Squire " was 

 one of the first to mount his hunter in answer to 

 the call of his country (Myopia) to repel the inva- 

 sion of the enemy (Reynard).
