WATER SPORTS 
Manchester Yacht Club Scene of Brilliant Gath- 
ering Wednesday Afternoon. Canoe ° 
Polo a Feature 
The Manchester Yacht club was the 
scene of a brilliant gathering Wednes- 
day afternoon when the annual Water 
sports were held. The weather con- 
ditions were most favorable for the 
affair, the fog of the early morning 
giving away to clear skies in the 
afternoon. 
The club house veranda was 
crowded by members of the summer 
colony from all along the shore. 
Beautiful flowers, both potted plants 
and cut bloom, mostly from the gar- 
dens of Mrs. Edward S. Grew and 
Geo. R. White, added to the attractive 
setting, within the clubhouse. These 
were very nicely arranged under the 
direction of Mrs. Cotting. 
Following the sports tea was 
served, Mrs. Cotting acting as matron. 
She was assisted by Miss Bradley, 
Miss Wigglesworth, Miss Blair and 
Miss Clark. 
Eight events were scheduled for 
the sports. The feature of the after- 
noon, aside from the stunts by J. B. 
Green, so well known as a swimmer, 
was the canoe polo. So far as is 
known this was the first time the 
game has ever been played in this 
country. Itisan English game. 
Mr. Green’s stunts, of course, were 
of much interest. It took a minute or 
two for the crowd to get over their 
surprise at seeing him fall off the 
float, dressed in street clothes, and 
not until he began to undress in the 
water was it realized that this was 
part of his exhibition. He gave an 
exhibition of the breast stroke, side 
stroke, over arm side stroke, trudgeon 
stroke, swimming on back, sidewise, 
backwards, the waltz stroke, porpoise 
play, spinning, log wheel, spar buoy, 
etc. With the assistance of Harry 
Lee he did a shadow swim, and showed 
also the method of rescuing a person 
from drowning.

events:
