f ESTIVITIES
AT SAUSALITO.
The Pacific and San Francisco
Clubs Entertain.

Yesterday WAS gala day in the annals OF
Sausalto, the two yacht clubs, which do so
much in the way of furnishing entertain
ment in that cosy burg, having both set it
apart as a season of festivity. Though this
occurred without generalization on the part
of the club managers, and was the cause OF
not a little friction between them, the
double event was not without its charms,
as it led to general decoration of the trim
craft in the offing and the club-houses and
residences overlooking Richardson's Bay.
Several hundred invitations had been sent
out by each of the organ izations, calling
their friends to gather around their head
quarters and enjoy the hospitalties which
usually attend the close of the yachting sea-
son. Few who have ever tasted these hos
FATALITIES failed to answer the Welcome sum-
mons in person, and III consequence, the
ferry, the only means of access for any but
the favored few. was thIonged with city
guests at every tip bound for the scene of
festivity. The boats were gayly decorated
during the day, and { entering the slip the
arriving guests were saluted by salyos from
the little fleet anchored off the San Fran
cisco Clubhouse, the Chispa Commodore l.
CUTIE and the Jessie Vice Commodore
Marlborough vping with each other in rem
llle uONOrS.
HoNoRs AT TIE CLUB-HoUsEs.
AT tn e wharf vehicles were in readiness
to convey the pleasure-seekers to their
destina ton, and, as soon as the flying
steeds were e5pied from the grounds of the
Pacific Club, Wells Battery belched forth
another salute from its fastness in the over
hanging rocks that wakened the echoes
from Lime Point to Tamalpais aud Diablo
to the sea-
AT the San Francisco Club house Commo-
dore Cutie did the hOnorS during the after
noon and provided the friends of that eStab-
lIshDlent with good music for the dance and
abundance of refreshments for the inner
man. During the afternoon those of the
party who expressed desire for sail were
accommodated in the launch and given OPP
portunity TO visit the Chispa, Jessie and
Frolic. where independent entertainments
were held all day and every one was wei
coined. In the evening dancing was in
order and the ballroom was filled with
merry couples until the last boat was au-
nounced, when departures were taken with
regret.
Colonel John H. Dickinson was the guild
ing spirit of the fete at the Pacific Club, and
made an admirable host. Arrangements on
an extensive scale had been made under his
direction for the entertainment of the visit
ors, and every taste was catered to. The
ballroom was at the disposal of the dancers
from the early afternoon; boats were at
every ones disposal for spin on the bay or
for visits to the Annie Commodore Caduc),
Seven Bells Captain Skelly), Lurline Vice
Commodore A. B. SpreckelS), Sappho Cap
tain Mccarthy and the Virginia Captain
III. Nj. NowhalD, whose owners disp nSed
opeu-handed hospitality on board; lunch
was served throughout the day in the club
dining-room, and aromatic drinks were
abundantly provided for thirsty mortals in
the adjoining pnnch-r0Om.
WELCOME ADDITIONS.
During the afternoon there was continue
Gus firing OF SaluteS from the battery, wei
coming the arrival of honored guests, many
of whom landed directly at the club wharf.
Noticeable among these We're the Custom
house officials, who with their ladies' came
over at 80 o'clock on one of the Govern
ment tugs. These made welcome addition
to the party and inStilIed new lie into the
dance during the closing hours of the after
noon
In the evening the gay colors of the flags
and signals, which frightened the scene On
every side, gave way to extensive illumina-
ton. The club grounds were lighted up
with Chinese lanterns as soon as night fell;
the flagstaff was similarly adorned, and
Colonel Dickinson's handsome residence on
the bluff beyond threw flood of colored
light upon the scene that heightened every
nook and corner in the picturesque retreat.
Shortly alter the arrangements had been
perfected Commodore Spreckels and large
SPECIAL tug at the little wharf.
These new additions to the party at once
sought the BALLROOM dancing became the
only business of life for those present, and
so faithfully did all participate in its pleas
ures that when II O'Clock struck and the
signal was given for all good San Francis
Cans to leave for home, few could credit the
fact that the time had indeed arrived for
parting. The tugs were then called into
requisition once more, and at midnight the
merry guests were landed in the city.
