Successful Cruise of Eastern Y. C. 
Most of the yachts have returned 
from the Hastern Yacht club cruise 
and series of races from Marblehead 
to Bar Harbor. Unusually favorable 
weather, light to moderate winds, an 
absence of fog, not too frequent 
races and plenty of time for social 
activity, both afloat and _ ashore, 
made the 1911 cruise which closed 
at Bar Harbor last Saturday, one of 
the most suecessful in many years. 
The honors of the week fell to the 
schooners Elena, owned by former 
Commodore Morton F. Plant; the 
Taormina, owned by William S. 
Eaton; the Vagrant, owned by 
Harold Vanderbilt; the Emerald, 
owned by Commodore F. Lewis 
Clark, and the sloop Adventuress, 
owned by C. C. Rumrill. These 
yachts won trophies offered in that 
order by Vice-Commodore R. T. 
Paine, 2d, Rear Commodore Her- 
bert M. Sears, Fleet Captain Sabin 
P. Sanger, Capt. F. L. Gay and Capt. 
K. J. Bliss. These prizes were off- 
ered for the first, second and third 
division schooners, auxiliaries and 
sloops scoring the best total cor- 
rected time in all the runs. A special 
prize also went to Vice-Commodore 
Dallas B. Pratt of the Sea Fox. 
The trophies, which varied from 
heavy silver salvers to massive silver 
cups and tea sets, were handed to 
the owners at the annual windup 
dinner at the Bar Harbor reading 
room, which is the Eastern Yacht 
Club’s station at Bar Harbor. <A 
few of the schooners remained over 
Sunday in order to participate in 
the second race for the cup offered 
last year by Capt. Guy Norman for 
the 161-mile run back to Marble- 
head. This event closed the long- 
distance racing of the club for the 
year. The Norman cup must be won 
three times by a yacht owner, and 
E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia has 
one leg in the trophy, which he won 
last year with his smaller schooner, 
Trolita. His boat this year, another 
Trolita, formerly the Queen, will be 
the largest boat in the Norman cup 
race, as the Plant yacht Elena sailed 
Sunday for New London to prepare 
for the New York Yacht Club eruise. 
The Eastern Yacht Club fleet this 
year cruised a total distance of 259 
miles along the Maine coast, of 
which 191 miles was covered in rac- 
ing runs. Usually these race events 
in the cruise have. been a series of 
reaches with sheets well started and 
very little work for the light head 
sails. But this year there was some 
windward work in four of the five 
race events and the fleet had 57 miles 
out of the 191, or 30 per cent dead 
against the breeze. Commodore 
Clark presided at the wind-up din- 
ner and distributed the trophies in 
a graceful manner, while the replies 
of the fortunate winners were all of 
an appreciative nature. The success 
of this year’s cruise furnished the 
theme for nearly all of the speeches, 
and many of the yachtsmen predict- 
ed that the fleet next year would be 
double in size. The tonnage of the 
Western Yacht Club fleet this year 
was the largest in the club’s history, 
while there was an average of 31 
boats in all the ports since leaving 
Marblehead. 
Somewhat Mixed. 
Senator Jeff Davis while address- 
ing his colleagues recently adapted 
an old quotation after the Dundrery 
method when he declared of a de- 
partment of the government which 
he was condemning: ‘‘Like the mills 
of the gods it may grind slowly but 
it gets there just the same.’’ 
Do not forget that even as ‘‘to 
work is to worship,’’ so to be cheery 
is to worship also; and to be happy 
is the first step to being pious. 
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
