HOUSE Completed and Reception to
30 Held.
The Savannah Yacht Club held an i'm
portant and interesting meeting at the
Office of Messrs. Hull q Lathrop yester-
day morning, and for some time had I'M
der consideration the matter of ladies'
day. Saturday June 16, was finally set
tied upon as the day on which it will be
held
This was regarded as an exceedingly
favorable time for the ladies' day races,
as it will be full moon, and high tide will
be reached after the sports are well I'M
| der way. This will make the occasion an
especially pleasant one, with the accom-
paniments of music and dancing at the
club house in the evening, for which the
sailing committee has-arranged
Much interest is already being mani
Tested in ladies day, and il seems proba-
BILE that there will be a larger mum Der of

LADIES DAYS PROGRAMME.
The owners and captains of both the
sailing yachts and naphthas are talking
of the races with much interest, and a
/ decidedly lively contest between all
| classes is promised. The ladies will be
taken on the boats during the races,
| which is one of the most enjoyable feat
ures, as they are always as much if not
more interested in the success of their
| favorites than those who sail them.
The matter of prizes is in the hands of
4 the sailing committee, which consists of
Messrs. M. Y Henderson, T. f. Jones
and Isaac Beckett. The prizes have not
vet been settled upon, BUT will probably
be cups. in the different classes.

the boats belonging TO the members of the
club, has been entirely completed and
was turned over yesterday by the build
ing committee to the house COM
mittee of the club, which has
entire charge of the property.
The new house is a model
of convenience for the boats
| and preserves them from destruc-
ton. 1t will be turned over to the club
by the house committee some time next
week, when a reception in charge
of the chairman of the house commit
tee will be given to the members.
THE ANNUAL CRUISE.
The meeting was a large and interest
ing one 1t was decided that the annual
cruise should take place June2l, on which
date the yachts will leave the club at -
noon, and will go that day to the south
end of Warsaw island. The destination
after that will be left to a vote of those
who go on the cruise Any
where from three days to a week
will be spent in this way, in fishing
and other sports, around the channels and
islands i'll the southeastern part Of the
county. Nearly all the yacht owners in
the club have stated that they will 20 on
this cruise both sailing yachts and
naphthas. II has been customary hereto
fore to have a store-ship along, which, if
necessary. will be taken this time. Com
modore f. S. Lathrop will be in full
charge
YAcHTsMEN WAKING Up.
More interest than in five or six years
past is being taken in the club now by
the members and their guests. The club
now has a mem bership of 233, and is in as
good a financial condition as it ever was
in its history. The club will be well
pleased to always keep its membership
up to this number and good standing, and
it is the determination of those i'll charge
to see that, il possible. 1t is done.
1t has been more largely attended
both by members and guests this year
than it has in the last FIVE, and it is being
made more popular resort every day
1t is certainly one of the most pleasant
and Gu oyable of cubs to be found any
where in this section, and the members OF
it count themselves fortunate At yes
terdays meeting four new members
Messrs. H. Il. Moore, A. +. MoynelO. B
