The Cruise of the ew York Yacht Squadron. Arrival of tho Fleet at Boston—Receptiow by the Eastern Yacht Club. Bosron, August 11, L871. The New York Yacht Squadron has arrived, The steam tender to the flagship, which arrived last evening and anchored im Nantucket Roads, got under weigh (his morning and stood out of the har- bor, when she found the entire squadron in the vicinity of Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse, the point of rendezvous, they having arrived at varlous hours during the night, The morning was catm, not a breath of wind was to pe felt, and the sun rose from Old Ocean unobscured. The sarface of the water was like @ mirror, aad without any percepti- ble swell, ‘The yachts lay head round the compass, not even having steering way. This state of affairs lasted until about eleven A, M., wien light airs from the eastward enabled the ves- sela to get into position, the Commodore in the centre, with the Columbia at the head of the port and the Kanibier—in the absence of the Sappho—at the head of the starboard division, As soon as the line was formed they were headed for the entrance to ihe harbor, THE BASTERN SQUADRON, which had anchored at Nantucket Roads, intended coming out this morning at daylight to meet tho visitors, but absence of wind prevented, As soon, however, as the breeze sprang up they stood out, aud at noon the first gun of the recep. ton was fired. The scene at this time Was certainly very beautiful. The day was bright, clear and warm, and the wind, although not enough for fast sailing, was sufficient to counteract the eitect of the sun’s rays, The adjacent coasts, dotted 12, 1871. In every direction with towns and villages, stood oul in bold relief, Alead was Boston Lighthouse; on the port beam the great triumph cf engineering, the lighthouse on Minot’s Ledge, and far away to the westward could plainly be seen the steeples and domes of “The Hub.” As the Eastern Club squadron, consisting of seventeen vessels of all classes, passed to the northward of the New York squadron the saluting commenced, and the firing for some time was very lively. Tho remarkable reverbera- tions from either shore suggested the idea that mimic warlare was going on, As soon as the New York yachts had been passed the Eastern yachts tacked and stood in after them. The steam teader to the flagship, with the band on board, occupied a position 1a the rear aud centre of the New York Neet aud led the Eastern feet, saiuting them with the strains of delicious music.

Hew, Mass, August 12, 1871, It isthe opinion or ail who witnessed it that a more magnificent spectacie has never been seen in these waters than the meeting of the Boston and New York Yacht Club fleets to-day. Apart from the excellence of the vessels themselves, al- togetber aside frum the costilness and beauty of the individual crafts that dotted the Placid sea, the exhibition was one that left An impression upon the mind ever to be remem. berea. It was a glorious triumph for the pleasure navy of the country, a grand unity of thought regarding the progress of naval architecture, a bril- Nant combination tm sentiment and hospitality, a fue tribute on the part of the Eastern Yacht Club and @ well-deserved token of appreciation of the splendor of the squadron from New York. Proud inzeed may the members of that organization be of their vessels, Thousands of strangers to-day heaped thetr encomiums upon them, and falled not to observe that yachting as a pastime has been making AN UNPRECEDENTED HEADWAY within the last few years. Tae Eastera Yacht Club vesse.s—composed of All classes of vessels—looked extremely pretty, and maintained exceitent order on their way out. Among the many crafts were the Rebecca, Wivyern, Neliie, Ethel, Jalta, Glimpse, Alice, Narraganseit, Sadie, Coming, - Dalsy, Violet, Sumata, Faith, Fllrt, Belle, Stivia, Iris, Tanthe and others, As the two fleets approached each other, seem. ingly cautious 9nd observant, as if mancuyring tor attack or defence, it vividly brought to mind oid war times, for it looked as if a broadside battle were about to be commenced, As they appeared in line at a distance the New York feet, comprising the Columbia, Eva, Rambler, Fleetwing, Halcyon, Idler, Dauntiess, Madeleine, Dreadnaught, Magic, Foam, farolinta, Tidal Wave, Wanderer, Vindex, Vixen, Gracie, and others whose signals could not be discerned, the symmetry of the vessels, the uls- cipline mamtained and the beauty of the exhibition contributed to render the reception of the New York Yacht Squadron one of the prettiest and most amusing spectacles at sea that the tinagi- nation could suggest. Nearer and nearer the ves- sels approached, when at Lage ye upon a signal gun froin the flagship Rebecca, the welcoming salutes from the vessels of the Eastern fleet resounded far and wide, while the great guns of the New York squadron responded in unmistakable terms. A dense cloud or smoke for a while obscured the view, but when it slowly cleared away the Bostou Meet was ip line at the rear escorting thelr guests. A fine band of mustc sent forth enlivening strains, ana with a fair wind the two squadrons sailed for Nau- tasket Roads, coming to anchor uader the guns of Fort Warren. In the afternoon, upon the news of their arrival reaching the city, steamboats crowded with visitors and flying bunting in honor of the occasion sped outward In Jarge numbers, Crafts of all descrip- tions dotted the waiters in the vicinity of the yacht: and far mtu the evening the scene was one of grea’ animation. Towards sunset many of tae yachts weighed anchor for the city, salutes bemg fired and responded to upon the advent of each. ‘o-morrow evening the Eastera Yacht Club will entertain their visitors at a grand banquet, to be given at Point Siiriey.
