Prepared talks by the members were given this year. This is a custom which has not been practiced during the past several years, and proved quite successful this season. The first was given by Walter Channing on the Reversing Falls of St. John, New Brunswick. That same evening, Tim Williams showed slides of cruising through Dutch canals, and Commodore Welch showed some of sailing on the Mediterranean Sea and in Denmark. Charlie Howland, in another meeting, spoke on his passage from Bermuda to Buzzards Bay aboard the Winnie of Bourne, followed by an excel- lent talk by Harry Holcomb about his summer job aboard the coastal freighter Mary Cluett, owned by the Grenfell Mission in Labrador. On January 23, Mr. Frederick Johnson, skipper of Scaup from Salem, showed some excellent slides Of a passage he made aboard one of the six re- maining sailing barges of the Thames River. Mr. Burnham Porter, owner of Roarin' Bessie out of Manchester, later gave a very interesting talk on a cruise he made from the Bras d'Or lakes to Boothbay Harbor, Maine, On May 1, Mr. John Hughs showed C0mm0d0fe Wekh PFCSMGS- movies of the '58 Bermuda Race, in which he sailed his own boat, a fiberglass Bounty sloop, with Ben Baker CCommodore, '56-'577 as chief cook. On May 8, we had Mr. Andy Lindsay who described his trip on the square-rigged ship joseph Conrad, a train- ing cadet ship on its last voyage, under the command of Alan Villiers. Mr. Lindsay was here last year with slides of the Mayflower II voyage, he was one of the crew. This year, although not quite as active as last year, was a very good one due to the efforts of those who gave excellent talks, and to the high qual- ity of the guest speakers. Commodore Welch and Vice-Commodore Thaxter extend their thanks to those members who took an active part in the club activities, and wish the best of luck to next year's officers, Commodore Hedblom and Vice-Commodore Francis.
