St. Gotthard, Switzerland June 17, 1912. Dearest Folks:— We went over the mountains from Tremezzo on Lake Como, to Lake Lugano where we took steamer. Lake Lugano is on the order of Como, but much smaller, yet much of the same character of scenery. We then took train, but on account of its being late we missed connec tions, and thus stay over night at this little place. It is a hospice or tiny village for the shelter and care of Al pine travelers situated right in the heart of the Alps. The mountains appear to be wonderfully steep, and, as so many are snow capped peaks, and the snow limit, or line of per petual snow is about 90U0 feet, one can get a good idea of their towering height, which in this pass rises to be tween 12,000 and 13,000 feet.

Between 12:30 and 1 o ’clock Tuesday morning, word was received at the power house that an automobile was burning on Scott's -'ock, near the brick sheds of C. Milton Foreman, with a remote possibility of the sheds catch ing. The power house tried to get in touch with one of the chiefs and finally got Assistant Chief Pearsall and re ported. The matter was immediately investigated and the machine was blazing so that it was decided to se cure one of the hose wagons without sendfhg in a general alarm.

It was for $3.5U, being the net amount 1 lost by the recent visit from burglars at my home. This loss was paid through Libby & Edwards, the local agents. When the New York and Long Isl and Traction Company put in its siding on Main Street, people thought that a fifteen minute schedule was to be adopted. The cars continue to run half hourly and without any regularity as to time at certain points. Some times they skip a trip entirely, as of old. The officials who gave permit for this siding on a narrow business s tr e et seem to have fallen “ e asy” to the wishes of this corporation. Our vil lage officials stood out for a time but finally gave way to the company. Surely they did not act for any public benefit up to oate, for the trolley ser vice is no better than it was before the siding was put down. A double track for the line will be the only means of running ears on tjme. —Observer. We thapk the Observer for helping us to get something dolrtg-fn this mat- tec.

A memorial book has-been presented to the family of the late Ernest Southhrtl, who was a well known mem ber of the club. At the meeting held on July 25 new members were elected, as usual. The Regatta Committee reported their dis qualification of a cabin boat for foul- ii g another in the races of July 4. which made the winners in the cabin boat class (1 1 La Boheme, (2) Old Fashioned, (3) Leora 11. Commodore Southard s tated that as the time of the Club cruise on August 7-8-9-10 coincided with the cruise of the Great South Bay Yacht Racing As- «sociation ‘he Club would join with After adjournment those present were shown what a pleasant time could be had in the new lounging room. All were invited up, and after inspecting the handsome new furnishings were treated to a very tasty and substantial spread. Since this meeting Commodore Southard has made application for the S. S. Y. G. to join the Association, which is composed of Moriches Yacht Club, Bell poet Bay Yacht Club, South Bay Yacht Club, of Patchogue; South Side Yacht Club, of Sayville; Islip Yacht Club, Bay Shore Motor Boat Club, Babylon Yacht Club, Unqua Corinthian Yacht Club, of Amityville, and now the South Shore Yacht Club. The schedule of events is as follows: Aug. 7, motor boat races at Bay Shore, prizes given by Bay Shore Motor Boat Club; 2 p. m., sailing yacht races at Babylon; 8 p. m., reception by Baby lon Y. C. August 8 8:30 a. m., motor boat and sailing yacht races to Sayville, prizes by Unqua Corinthian Y’. C. 2 p. m., sailing yacht races off Say ville, prizes by G. S. B. Y. R. A. 8 p. m., reception by South Side Y. C. August 9—8:3n a. m., run to Batch- ogue. 10 a. m., motor boat races, prizes by G. S. B. Y. R. A. 8 p. m., reception by South Bay Y. C. Aug 10—9 a m, run to Be 11 port. 11.30 to 1.30, reception by Heliport Y. C. 2 p. m., sailing yacht races, off Heliport. At the finish of this race the cruise ends. Any of the S. S. Y. C. members wishing to join in the races must have their entries, accompanied by rating, in the hands of J. W. Lawrence, Baby lon, by August 3. The races for motor boats will be run in four classes, (1) speed, (2) semi-speed, (3) cruisers, over 12 miles, (4) cruisers, under 12 miles. As ofi last year’s cruise of the S. S. Y. C., the fleet was composed almost entirely of open motorooats, for which there is no class open in any of the races of this year’s trip, it seems as though our local club men would very generally play the part of spectators, although the classes do allow of entries by cruisers, speed boats and sailing yachts, in each of which classes our own club may be represented. Last Sunday night was full moon, i f you don’t believe it, ask the Smith tjoys. Counting on her favor, they left Uak Island late with a large party aboard for a sail home to Freeport. But she was bashful and hid herself before they made the drain over the bulkhead. Result? Ask them, for they would rather tell you than see it in print. They did loose their way — a little, and it did rain—a little, and the mosquitoes were about— a few, and the tide was the wrong way—a lot, but 2 a. m. saw them make the club dock, and that is not being out all night, is it? Because of the time of publication of this we can not report the outside fishing trip held yesterday, but next week we hope to have a full list of those who were and those who were not, and just who was most so. It is significant that the committee having it in charge arranged for so much a head, without dinner, which was served on board to such as wished it, which showed foresight on their part. Addenda—There will be a race for open boats on Aug. 7 at 10 a. m. at Bay Shore. Mrs. C. A. Fulton and daughter Shirley returned Wednesday from Lake Hopatcong. C. A. Ryder, local agent of the N. Y. Telephone Company, had one of the bones in his wrist broken, while c rank ing his auto a few days ago. Mr. and Mrs. James G. Thomas and their son Harold, of Rye, N. Y., have been the guests during the week of Mr. Thomas’ brother, Charles E, Thomas, ef Lexington Avenue. More- Freeport levs on Page 8
