Arrangements for the Great Day

Night Parade on the Bay Of All Steam
Craft-The Presidents Invitation.
Bonn in Membership

1t is contemplated to have a parade on
the water some night during the celebration
of Admission Day. The idea is to extend
an invitation to the captains and owners OF
all steamboats,. tugs and steam vessels OIL
every description aud also TO owners OF
barges, yawls skffs, canoes, dug0uts and
every species Of craft that does not necessi-
tate wind propulSio n. TO elect Commodore
and flagship and to settle upon a course
over which they will pass at some hour
after dark; each craft to be Illuminated
some other way and to be bOuntifuly sup
piled with rockets, bombs and other fire.
works. The scene presented, if carried
out, will be magnificent beyond descrip-
ton.
John F. Finn, Chairman of the Regatta
Committee, reported that he had visited all
the club-houses belonging TO the various
organizations, and found the members very
enthusiastic over the coming regatta. He
has sent an invitation to Henry Henceman
of Stockton, inviting him TO come and meet
Peterson and other big oarsmen in the
scull race. The professional men will have
to submit to a handicap. 1t was suggested
that in the barge race for professionals
three purse-prizes should te offered, but the
feeling among oarSmen is that the purses
should be consolidated and that each club
that enters pay an entrance fee. The clubs
themselves favor this arrangement.
SAN DIEGO TO sIsKIYoU.
Mr.. Finn says that an endeavor is being
made to have present all the yachts or rep
resentatives from every yacht club from
San Diego to Siskiyou, to participate in the
yachting regatta. Commodore Cutie says
he thinks that over a hundred yachts will
enter the race, and the sight will be a grand
one from Telegraph HILL Russian Hill, the
sea-wall, the Preside, Goat Island, Berke-
ley or any other prominent point along the
proposed route. The old course will not be
used, aud the new line Of sailing Will be
made known in the published programme.
The big boats VIII sail over the course
twice.
Arrangements have been made for races
between the foaT-oared bodts of ships in
the haTbor, the boats TO be pulled by the
shirs' crews. All captains who have
already agreed to take part in the races
and all who intend to enter the contest
with their crews are requested to send
