GALA DAY AT YACHT CLUB. 
(Continued from Page 1) 
trophies to be awarded the winners in 
the events, which in each case was a 
silver cup, and in their midst was the 
famous Seawanhaka cup, the object of 
much interest. 
Commodore Bremer’s steam yacht, 
Velthra, gaily decorated in flags, was 
anchored off the pier, and with W. A. 
Tucker’s yacht Khalita and the fa- 
mous yawl Spray, which were also 
decorated, made a beautiful setting 
for the sports. 
The first event scheduled was the 
motor boat race. The gun was given 
at 3 o’clock, and three boats started 
over the line in the rated class, fol- 
lowed later by David Fenton’s boat, 
which came up to the line late. The 
Puffin II., owned by W. E. Greely, 
was away first, followed by the Blink. 
The non-rated class started five 
minutes later, with eleven boats. The 
_course taken by this class was from 
the starting line to West beach, to 
Power’s rock, to Whale’s back, back 
to the starting point, and over course 
again, a distance of 94 miles. The 
course for the rated class was to buoy 
11 off Little Haste, to Martin’s rock, 
thence to Power’s rock and buoy 11, 
and finish off club house. Distance, 
13 miles. 
All boats started from anchor and 
engines were at rest previous to start- 
ing signal. 
In the non-rated class the boats 
started well bunched, but the little 
4-horse power Essex engine of S. 
Parker Bremer’s tender, the Edith, 
worked best, apparently, for the 16- 
footer jumped ever the line head and 
heels ahead of everybody else, despite 
the fact she lost ground before the 
first 100 yards were passed. 
The boats came around -the first 
time in the same order in which they 
finished, with the Christie, Witch, 
Maybelle and Ruth leading the others 
by almost four minutes. Lations led 
the Arowampum and Mrs. Wiggs all 
the way around the course. C. L. 
Norton, R. L. Cheever and James 
Beaton did not finish.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The first event in the sports at the 
club house was the blind dory race, in 
which the contestants were blindfolded 
and lined up in dories awaiting the 
signal to start for the stake boat in 
the channel. The stake boat was 
located in as many positions as there 
were points of the compass, apparently, 
for the boys rowed in all directions. 
Fred Ayer, jr., was the only one that 
succeeded in reaching the goal. 
Frank Reece and Austin Mason 
were the star participants in the diving 
contest, while Charles E. Cotting, 
jr., and G. P. Gardner captured the 
honors in the swimming contest. 
The obstacle race was quite a pretty 
event, there being two boys for each 
canoe, one carrying a Japanese parasol 
and the other oars. The object was 
to jump overboard, swim toa canoe 
anchored off the float, get aboard 
without wetting the parasol, paddle 
to the stake boat and return. C.M. 
Amory and Robert Reece carried off 
the honors in this event. 
The walking the pole contest at- 
tracted no end of attention, as the 
contestants appeared in their gaudy 
costumes. Charles Reed, dressed as 
a ballet girl, and Charles Cotting as 
Little Red Riding Hood, carried away 
the honors. The other boys were: 
Lindsay Welling, who was dressed as 
a farmer boy ; Norman Read, colonial 
dame ; Samuel Eliot, summer girl in 
bathing suit; Frank Wigglesworth, 
clown; R. Wigglesworth, Chinaman. 
Welling won the prize for walking the 
pole.
