Decoration Day. 
May 30, igoo. 
The last days of May were very unpleasant about New 
York, with rain at times and a very low temperaturfe, but 
Decoration Day came with good weather — clear and warm 
and wiih moderate breezes. As is always the case, many 
yachts, new and old, were not ready, but still a very 
large number turned out to do honor to the official open- 
ing of the season of 1900. Almost all the clubs paid 
•formal observance of some sort to the day, generally in 
the way of hoisting the colors and a sail in the afternoon, 
M'hile many races were held. 
In Eastern waters the day. was clear with a strong 
westerly wind, giving good racing.
