The quilt exhibit during the afternoon was much enjoyed by nearly 100 ladies, many of them experts in the art of quilt-making, who avail themselves of every possible opportunity to admire new patterns. The quilts from the shop of Mfery E. McElwain a^Walworth, Wis., were beautiful, indeed, and were perfect in w'orkmanship and design.

D., after a visit with, relatives, in. this vicinityr Soeial activities at Pistakee Bay ere well under way for the season aii the ever popular yacht club Is the scene of some gala event every weekend. On Saturday evening of last .veek the Commodore's bah was held with members of the club gathering to do honor to Commodore and Mrs. R, T. Waters. A fine band furnished music and the grand march began at 9:30 p. no., to open an evening of pleasure •nd enjoyment. On next Saturday evening, August 4, the annual children's show will be held at the Yacht club at 8:30 p. m. The children this year, have, under the able guidance of the committee, assembled a group of acts that should pack the house- You've heard1 of Salty Rand ? They've got her beat. You've heard of Mae We»t? She'll be there, too. Songs, dances and a special number, "iLittie Men In White," will give members an evening of grand entertainment. According to the contents of the Pistakee Yacht Club Sailor's bulletin, edited by J. Robert Hoff, sailing at Pistakee Bay has dropped to a low ebb this year, although races have been put on as usual. The Lorelei, sailed by Bfike apd Andy Mueller, has won every race so. far this year. They have captured all of the regular races in addition to the special Hertz cup race on July fourth by wide margins. Mistakee, skipped by Wally and Jean Marie Ericsson, and Pop Eye, skippered by Charles Peterson, have trailed the leaders home in that order. Skipaway, sailed by Babe and Bobby O'Connor, has been a frequent starter •Three and sometimes four boats have started in the races The small entry in the races is due, according to Mr. Hoff, first, to the lack of competition for the Marconi-rigged shins; second, t« the sale of a number of boats and the fact that one boat was destroyed in a fire; third, the sailing conditions are not the best. To overcome these problems it has been suggested that a first place pri .e be awarded to the best gaff-rigged boat, which should bring out ipore boats. The commodore is having the weeds ;ut in the channel and it is hoped that a renewed interest will be taken in sailing event for the remainder of th£ season. Seven Juniors turned out in the first Junior race this year with Frank Walters and Babe O'Connor winning the race. Pete Petersen is instructing the Juniors this year. Water Carnival, Aug. 10 The Water Carnival will take place on Sunday, August 12, when there will be all sorts of races-With ^a prize for each one competing.

Torcum, Jean^ Smith, Earl Stege and Chester Olsen. The Robert Willands, Jr., and the Paul Klings are the newlyweds at Pistakee Bay this year. "Leonard Davis is in Europe on a cruise from Annapolis. ^ The Palm Beach Pirates, who were so prominent last year in the bail games against the Johnsburg Terriers are going great £gain this year.
