Yachting Reporters, A Plea for, 216

Everyone when drinking Pommery

is invited to pay a little more attention than is usually bestowed upon so pleasant an occupation, and to note the “finesse” which the house is at such pains to secure. It will not be labor lost. The pleasure afforded by a glass of choice champagne when one can discern all its exquisitely delicate shades of flavor and bouquet, and perhaps even locate them, as it were, in their very birthplaces, is a delight undreamed of by the careless drinker.

In this connection it is worthy of note that in London when the wholesale prices of Champagne are regulated solely upon quality, Pommery sells at a much higher price than any other brand, the retail price being, however, the same in America.

Pommery “Sec and Brut” is for Sale Everywhere.

Nothing is more exasperating at sea than a dead calm. A howling gale is preferable, if your craft is a sailing vessel.

Why not put yourself in a position to laugh at the calm? Get the Gas Engine and Power Co. and Charles L. Seabury & Co. (Consolidated) to fit your yacht with a Naphtha Motor.

Or, better still, give them an order to build a down-to-date auxiliary craft like Alfredo, shown in the cut—the flagship and fleet of the Cuban navy, commanded by Johnny O’Brien, the famous filibuster.

She is fifty feet long, has a sixteen-horse-power motor and goes nine miles an hour under naphtha alone. She also sails like a witch, is a splendid sea boat, and has “bully” accommodations below. Just the ideal boat for pleasant cruising. Never becalmed with sails idly flapping. Always sure of making port.

Ten cents in stamps will bring you a catalogue by return mail. It will interest you.
