The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-06-05

on? ?"
Narney G. GaSkill, secretary of the Pa
cifie Yacht Club, had just sauntered into
the clubhouse at Sausalito yesterday. His
big form was arrayed in all the nattiness
OF yachting IT m and he swept the prospect
impatently with glass.
Tue bay spark,ed like a sea OF diamonds,
but the wind blew half gale a that early
hour and the club flag streamed before it
as if it were made of painted sheetiron.
But the Aggie got away all the same.
Her owners, the Wieland Bros, sent up
Tor chickens, cold meats, salads, with sun
dry bottles of Mumm's and some extra
pale. Then the anchor was weighed, the
sheet loosened and away went the fastest
yacht in the local fleet.
The Lurline, which can beat her in
smooth water, lay idle, her dark, sharp
cuj lines aitraetiveiY silhouetted against
the white caps of the bay beyond.
But despite the early morning breeze
there was destined to be quite lot of life
at Sausalito yesterday.
Tie Quays and wharves backed by pic
ture>QU4 villas and the multtudinous sa-
looms were soon swarming with animation
and color.
Later in the day the four yachts which
had left Tor ORA 6es Bay on Saturday re-
turned under full sail. There were the
Chsua, the Romano, the Jessie and the
Sa pho, and their homecoming was quite
an event.
The amateur fishermen forgot to watch
their floats, the ladies flOcked to the San
Francisco Yacht Clubs wharf, and ALI
eyes were turned to the ofing, as one by
one the white-winged beauties gracefully
rounded the point. bringing up to the wind
before the clubhouse aud dropped anchor
" OnUprfni the loads nf
fire. ght brought over by the Bay City and
and San Rafael steamers. Upper and
lower decks were packed with all sorts
and conditions OF men. There seemed to
be no limitation as to numbers or any
regard for safety. The more the merrier
l suppose" commented one goOd-uatured
lady, who could not get a seat, but was
held IN an upright position by the swaying
jam about her. B
There were all sorts. Earnest browed
fishermen, who were only going to sit on
The wharf and drop sInKerS for deluded
sinners, were yet arraYeG in the most
wOrkmanllke old suits of oilskins, overalls
and shocking bad hats. That is supposed
to he three parts OF the pleasure of amateur
fishing. Then there were the picnic
crowds, with their lOw-v0ced, good
"Chmmy" and Name" and naturally
Name, with her magnificent nigh hat and
feather, was not ar off. There was big
foreign S<5lety picnic, with big Monte
Degrinf native costume, gay sash and
win ,ggius red braided jacket, block
cap <bl. Children there were of all
ages, al d they we're carefully looked after
in the press by hundreds of kindly eyes
belonging to half as many self-cOnsttuled
guarlians.S
Chatter and langhterl They were as
inceSsant from the upper decks as from
the lower. Only from above came the
dudes, escOrting lovely summer girls in
the latest fashions, and quiet business
men with their families, who like TO sit
down and listen to the music.
And so they poured out on to the
wharves where the open cars stood ready
TO transport some to more nOrtheTly picnic
grounds. Others set their faces in buses
or on foot toward Wildwood Glen, or to
private little hooks upon which they had
fled claims.
But 4 Still greater contingent spread
abroad along the waterfront, intent upon
seeing the balloon ascent, or making a
pTeteDse OF Turing the fnny deniZeLs sup
posed to know when Sunday comes, around
seeing that they are so shy.
Still, the boatmen Whereabouts say that
bay-fshlng Is better this year than it has
been for years past. They tell of man
named Johnson Bringing in 100 pounds OF
fish from Lime Point aud another Walto-
MAN, Joscelyn. almost coming uD to that
catch. Yesterday they displayed several
big kingfsh and quite large messes Of
rockcod and tomcod secured off the
Wharves.
The smelt are not yet running well. but
are beginning to catch on. and reports of
big takes IN that line may be expected be-
fore long.
a; the San Francisco Yacht Clubhouse
things were pretty quiet. The four yachts
away meant quite diminution in the
hustle that usually characterlZes these
merry quarters.
Loud complaints were heard among
scmr members and guests who had at
tended the hop given by the club on the
previous night. It seems that he officers,
or most OF them. went off to brakes Bay
and forgot all about The hop.
Why" said one guest, there was only
Secretary Reed, and he merely stayed for
few minutes. We had no host at all. 1t
was just go-as-you-please, with the honors
done by the Japanese doorkeeper and
Steward Dexter OF course we had god
time, but whoever heard of party with
out any hosts. Then there was to have
been tug TO take US back. but no tug ap-
peared. Some of us went back in the
clubs steam launch, and L don't know
what the rest did"
A mem Der Of the club explained that the
matter was an oversight and that leaving
the entire clubhouse at the disposal OF the
guests was intended to be an Arabian CON-
pliment Of the most delicate order and by
no means slur.
"Still, next tlme," he added, Eve are
going to have the officers and full COM
mittee present. Oar hops are very popu-
lar and we should be sorry to see their
popularity wane at ALL"
Down at the 'Baron's" there was more
than the usual crowd. The Baron has
got new attraction.
The other day the two Wielands were
q his place and were gently joshing the
Baron over his bar.
ave got something here L don't think
you've seen, gentlemen" remarked the
Baron during lull.
what IS it?' queried the gentlemen,
thinking it might be new invention for
keeping fat ladies afoat in the Baron's
tanks.
"Irs thu prettiest thing you ever see
gentlemen; It's panorama" explained
the titled host.
"Panoramal Cyclorama you mean"
said Albert Wieland.
No, sir, it's panorama, and only a
quarter Of a dollar peep. neitherH was
the answer.
Here's my quarter" quickly said one
the brothers, and Here's NINE" said the
other, chucking down some silver on the
mahogany. '1et US have a peep at your
panorama
The Baron carefully impounded the
coin, ard turning around pulled a curtain
from before a new window which he just
had cut behind the bar.
"There. gentlemen" he exclaimed. wav-
