It has been one of the gayest summers since before the war, with many luncheons, dinners and bridge parties, a few of which were large affairs but many of them small intimate groups of two or three tables of bridge. Sailing has become a favorite sport again this year and a number of the members of the Shelter Island Heights Yacht Club have purchased jib and mainsail boats, holding races each Sunday afternoon.

A new riding academy has been established and practically the whole Island is on horseback, the sport being popular with both the very young as well as with the grownups. One might almost think the smart knickerbockers and coats had a trifle to do with the popularity of the sport, judging by the apparent pride with which the young girls display their swagger habits. Golf and tennis still hold their old places. The fish have not been running as well this year so fishing has slipped into the background. Of course no one ever forgets the bathing beach and one always finds a crowd there every morning and afternoon.

Tea and Dancing at Yacht Club The Shelter Island Yacht Club held its ladies' reception on Saturday afternoon of last week. The main room of the clubhouse was cleared for the dancing while the refreshments were served on the veranda and lawn.
