Original Toronto Star caption: Weather was a sailor's delight; It was a glorious sailing day yesterday and for anyone named Victor or Victoria; there was a special treat ? a free cruise around the harbor sponsored by the Royal York Cruising Club. However; nobody by those names showed up to take advantage of the special Victoria Day offer; Sails billowed all over Lake Ontario yesterday on one of the rare warm days of spring.
