of the Vineyard Haven station, the officers and 
standing committees of the coming year will 
be the same as those of this year. 
The annual election of officers takes place at 
the last general meeting of the club each year, 
which this year will be held on Thursday, 
Dec. 16. 
The Nominating Committee is composed of J 
Pierpont Morgan, Lewis Cass Ledyard, Fred¬ 
erick G. Bourne, Cornelius Vanderbilt, F. H. 
Von Stade, Robert P. Doremus, Daniel Ap¬ 
pleton, W. Butler Duncan, Jr., Wilson Marshall 
and Grenville Kane. 
Commodore Leonard C. Richards, of the At¬ 
lantic Y. C., is to be the next commodore of 
the Larchmont Y. C. Commodore Richards 
worked hard for the Atlantic Club during the 
three years he held office there, and the club 
under his leadership was very successful. He 
feels now that it is time some one else took 
hold down the bay, and he will change his 
sphere of usefulness to the Larchmont Club. 
Commodore Wilson Marshall has been com¬ 
modore of that club for four years, and he, too, 
thinks that he has earned a good rest. Com¬ 
modore Marshall has done a great deal for the 
Larchmont Club while he has held office.

Ancient Vessels of Denmark. 
In view of the deep interest displayed in the 
reproduction of the Half Moon at this port 
recently, it is interesting to note that -there are 
a number of ancient craft still afloat and in 
active service on the Baltic and in the North 
Sea, one of which at least, the Constance, 27 net 
tons, was built early in the eighteenth century,
