wanhaka Oup detender was launched 
last Saturday afternoon at the yard 
of the David Fenton Co. As the 
yacht started down the ways Miss 
Edith Bremer, the ten-year-old 
daughter of Commodore S$. Parker 
Bremer, smashed a bottle of cham- 
pagne over its bow, and christened 
it Massachusetts.

A number of prominent yachtsmen 
were at the launching, and several 
ladies were also there, and the wharf 
and grounds were lined with towns- 
people. As the yacht struck the 
water the whistle of the dredger 
working nearby gave the salute. 
As soon as overboard the sails 
were unfurled and the Massachussets 
was taken out for a short spin.
