amusement whereby the name OF the club
would be kept before the yachting world and
the public. II looks as If it had come To
stage of dry rot, when the membership Will be
absorbed by the other clubs.
The San Francisco Yacht Club has taken
new lease OF life and Is making great strides
toward the supreme position IL once held on
this bay. This is principally due 10 the liberal
lines Oh which the club is conducted, as can be
seen by the open regattas that have been lately
given. What this club should do is TO encOuU-
age that spirit that has been manifested by DR..
Thomas l.. HUI ever stree he took the secre-
taryship, and II can rest assured its name will
once again be foremost among the clubs

ti0ue 10 be as long as they engender that feel
ing OF good Fellowship for which it's mem Der
shin IS noted. Tney have lost some of their
yachts, but their PLACES have been taken by
others. Tie interest in yachting among It's
members is on the increase.
The yachting spirit in The Encinal Boat Club
has gone forward with rush this season. It's
membership has advanced in numbers, as has
also its fleet Every event on the seasons pro-
gramme is looked forward TO with the greatest
possible interest. Commodore Leonard has
been untirlng IN his efforts TO make everything
go Oft smoothly, and must feel gTatited at the
success of his labors.
The California Yacht club has not attempted
anything startling this season, its first in The
yachting world, but It's members are indug-
ing IN go0dly amount OF cruising with
Hltie racing thrown in. The club has been I'M
fortunate IN its commodore being placed in
suCl Position on account OF personal business
mat he has been unable To devote the time that
he would like TO its advancement. Most OF tile
work has come down on the other officers.
Inc Oakland navy is the success il always has
been-a ''eood-natured, happy-go-lucky'' lot of

What Schaefer Thinks of the French

Good natured as ever, but with decidedly
unfavOrable impression of the French Minister

French capital was the game, with much en-
phasis on the article, because outsiders were

the crack players fat salaries None of the

Almost simultaneously with the receipt OF
this budget comes the news OF new local
amateur record from Philadelphia of 217 for
one wicket. This was made in a firs,-c class
match, TO wit, The Gentlemen and Players, by
Messrs. Patterson and Wood of the former
team, and will probably be accepted as the
Eastern record.
