inauspicious day, the dark somJer clouds
sufficient to cast damper on the most mer-
curial spirit. In consequence, the members
of the Pacific Yacht Club, in hard weather
jackets. were in anything but good humor
and spent the greater part of the day in rail
ing against IEolus and his bag of winds.
But the invitations were out and all ar
rangements made and the managers found
it impossible to postpone the affair.
Notwithstanding the gloomy weather. the
opening attracted fully as large a crowd as
that of the San Francisco Yacht Club on
the previous Saturday. The boats to Sausa-
10 were crowded during the day with pas
sengers, who were desirous of accepting
the Pacific Yacht Clubs hospitality. The
majority of the guests were of the fair sex,
and, as If in scorn of the weather, many of
them wore their best summer outfits and
snapped their fingers at the threatening
storm. But the weather proved as capri
cious as themselves and rewarded the ladies
by sending the most disagreeabe showers
that conld be imagined, which prevented
them from promenading through the club
grounds.
LUNCHING AND DANCING.
As result the large crowd was COM
PEELED TO stay indoors, and occupied the
time in dancing and chatting during the
lunch hour. The walters did not object to
this course, as 1t gave them all the time
they wanted to fulfill their orders. In
spite of this. however. some of the guests
fell asleep while waiting for a ham sand
wich to appease an appetite which the salt
air had rendered ravenous.
The clubhouse was especially decorated
for the occasion. the choicest flowers of
Sausalit being used for the purpose of Or
nament The finest establishment was
that provided by nature in the green-clad
hills and verdant groves. The emerald
enameled surroundings were the greatest
attraction. Chiefly for the reason that they
could not be enjoyed because new costumes
and new uniforms would have been spoiled.
There was many stamp of small feet and
many contraction OF 1air brows, but this
had no effect ON either the wind or the
clouds.
YACHTS AT ANCHOR,
The yachts of the club were anchored off
the picturesque harbor. They were all
decked in the gayest attire. 1t was a pity
that this holiday dress should not have had
sunshine as a setting. Still they presented
fine appearance as they lay at anchor off
the club grounds. A number of guests who
did not fear the weather were taken on
board and entertained by the different COM
manders.
The yacht which attracted the greatest
attention was Commodore Caduc's flagship
Annie. The rest of the squadron consisted
OF the Chlspa, l. Cutie; Lurline, J. ID.
Spreckels; Frolic, G. Ii. Harrison; Virginia.
Captain Newhall; Jessie, j. McDonOugh; ;
Whitewings. Captain Chittenden. The
yacht Nellie, which belonged to the late
Colonel Donahue, was in line, but not in
commission. Out of respect for its late
owner no one was received on board.
During the afternoon the new cruiser
CharlHStQn Sfaamen within arat hnn rad
yards OF the yacht squadron and was well
coined with the footing of small steam
whistles, firing of salutes aud waving of
flags. But the great war-vesSel paid little
heed to the complimentary salutation. The
sailors on board, however, responded by
the frantic tossing of caps in the air.
The yacht squadron will make cruise to
Valls!o to-day.
