Yachts in Commission Dur
ing the Winter.

9Most of the crafts of the Corinthian
Yacht Club have gone into winter quar-
tiers in the lagoon, where they will be
stripped of their sail and laid up until
| next season.
| The experience they had last winter was
too much for most of the yacht owners.
who now know what 1t means to be caught
in southwest gale.
The first boat over to Tiburon yesterday
took most of the yachtsmen, and by
o'clock they were all inside and those
aboard were stripping the canvas.
Those who went in were: The Pinta,
Cornelia, Ceres. Sea Fox, Volante. Cissie
May, Dawn, Fawn, Mugga. Macchudda,
Caprice and Whitelaw's boat
The Dawn had little trouble getting
in on account of her size.
There are some left whose owners are
willing to run the risk of the vessels being
badly jammed in a gale for the pleasure
of winter sailing, which is what the
yachtsmen here term ladies' breezes.
1t is during this period that the fair
daugh ters of California may be seen at
the wheel.
The yachts in commission this winter
are the Thetis. Dart, Truant. Naiad. Rip
Pile and Freda.
The yacht Linda will go up north to
Puget Sound. where her owner. Mr.. John
son. resides.
1t is hoped that she will go into some OF
| the races there, so yacbtsmen will be able
to judge how much they are in advance Of
those here, which is claimed for that Sec
ton.
The Ella has gone up river to make an
extended hunting cruise.
| The Petrol will make her Headquarters
in Oakland Creek during the winter.
| Yesterday there was considerable life on
Oakland Creek. The wind was from an
unusual quarter, the south, and was good
aud strong, which brought out the canoeists
in full force, with quite number of tho
catboats.
Among those noticed were Berrier in the
Whim, Smith in Dart. Morse in the SPIRIT
ISocksen Fonts. Commodore Caduce in
| Zephyr, W. w. Blow in one of his many
canoes, and number of others that could
not be made out
! Next Saturday will end up all the pro.
grammes of the yacht clubs here and the
| yachtsmen will then have time to push the
Yacht Owners Association.
| The EncInals arrived home yesterday at
P. NJ. from their cruise to Bairds Creek
after most enjoyable outing.
This was supposed to be hunting trip,
as every one stated that game was plenti-
full but it seems that George Emmons was

The first night was spent at the mouth
| of Redwood Creek. The Edna started
early Saturday and anchored off the creek,
displaying red and white light, to show
the best place to lay up for the night.
They reached there about 10 P. NJ. when
everything was made snug for the night.
AT O'Clock the next morning the fleet
got under way and reached the happy
hunting ground" at 10 O'clock
Commodore Leonard had brought alon
tent. which was pitched on high spor
on the marsh. Into this the tired and
weary hunters for game lay and enjoyed
| life
Sunday morning the feet left anchorage
in the creek and by in the afternoon
were at the clubhouse.
Their boats had splendid free wind all
the way home and made the distance in
the remarkable time of four hours.
AS was thought, Doc Tisdale had too
much provisions. so left the feet, and
when last seen was heading for the San
Mateo shore, which would give him q
longer trip and more time to consume
everything aboard. Quite a number of the
arks went into the lagoon at the same time
as the Corinthians. Only two remained
outside to brave the winter storms.
