The Club went to Bath on its first annual cruise and was received with muchhonor. In 1870 the annual cruise went to Boothbay where the first regatta was heldand the Spy and Whisper took prizes. In that year the sloop yacht Alarmwas bought in New York by Edward E. Preble, of the Club. Air. Preble wasa grandson of the Tripoli Commodore. He was himself a gallant naval officerand had been navigating officer of the Kearsage when she sunk the Alabama. In 1871 the present Club flag- was adopted, and the Ethel and Ray CLIQUE, COMMODORE DYERS FLAGSHIP In 1872 the Club secured qttarters on the end of Custom House Wharf. Thesame }-ear the Alarm, Capt. Preble, took the prize. From the years 1872 to 1885 the Club enjoyed its quarters at the end ofCustom House Wharf. There were many regattas and as was the usual custom,the annual cruises were well attended. In those days there was too much enthu-siasm to wait until June for sailing and occasionally the annual cruise bore datesas early as April nth to the 14th. In 1885 the present Club House was erected and occupied. In 1887 \V. Bray was elected Commodore and held this position until 1907. Themembership increased to 324 and the number of yachts including motor launches,342. E. A.
