The final whistle was blown and the first annual regatta of the Lake Champlain Yacht Club was over; and over with great credit, thanks more particularly to the energetic Regatta Committee, W. Boerum Wetmore, Chester Griswold and H. Le G. Cannon, of New York, and Elias Lyman and Lieut. A. S. Cummins, of Burlington. Then the sharpies, cutters, sloops and cats sailed away; and if you were “handy there” you must have heard the old refrain taken up and echoed back from the hills!—
THE “AGNES T.”—T. A. TAFT.
“Watch her! catch her!
Jump up in a ju-ba-ju;
Give her sheet and let her howl,
We’re the boys to put her through.
Oh! you ought to hear her howling
When the wind is blowing free.”
