AQUATIC SPORTS 
Annual Events Bring Out Large Crowd at 
the Manchester Yacht Clud. 
The annual aquatic sports held at 
the Manchester Yacht club Jast Sat- 
urday aftenoon were very acceptably 
conducted, and were among the most 
successful events of this kind yet held 
at the club. Both from the point of 
number of entries, and the large 
number of people who attended was 
it a banner day. 
The club house was _ beautifully 
decorated within and presented a 
most cheerful appearance. Flowers 
from the gardens of Mrs. H. L. Hig- 
ginson, Miss M. F. Bartlett, Mrs. 
Wm. A. Tucker, Mrs. E, S. Grew, 
Mrs. W. L. Putnam and Mrs. Geo. R. 
White were tastefully arraneged 
about the room, a great bunch of gol- 
den glow, brightened with red roses, 
filling the open fireplace and mantel, 
while in front of this was a large 
pyramid of asters, zinnias, etc. The 
whole affair was very ably carried out 
through the efforts of Mr. Craigie, 
chairman of the committee in charge. 
Following the sports tea was served 
on the verandah and within the club 
house by a number of ladies, including 
Miss Helen Read, Miss Mary Eliot, 
Miss Edith Fitz and the Misses Wig- 
glesworth. Off the club house in 
holiday dress were Commodore Bre-
