The club is making big preparations for
taking part in the regatta next May.
Among the people already taking up
their summer residences at Sausalito is
John Blanchard and family, who have
taken possession of the Sway cottage.
James B. Gill and family have also gone
into summer quarters.
ID. M. Delmas, it is expected, will move
over away from the madding crowd very
shortly, and DR.. Buckley has already made
his arrangements in that direction.
There is little business transaction now
IN progress on this same beach road that
leads the gossips of Sausalito to predict
that William r. Hearst will once again
occupy his palace on the hillside. Pro-
jecting over the water in front of his place
has been standing hitherto little wooden
house of two stories, which used to wear
the name of the Sea Point Oyster Grotto
and to do business as such. The business
departed with the Hearst purchase, bat the
house has stood there since. He SOLD it
short time ago with the consideration that
it should be moved, and it is now on
wheels climbing an ascent of the road down
toward the yacht clubs house. The lease
to the present tenant expires in MAY, and
1t is said 1t will not be renewed, and that
Mr.. Hearst will take up his residence there
for the summer, at least.
Another thing cited as an indication in
this direction is the fact that Mr.. Hearst's
private secretary, George Pancoast, has
leased the Coils cottage for the summer.
Over at Belvedere there is already talk
of the next Might in Venice" demonstra-
ton. They say that it is certainty, and
that 1t will eclipse the affair of last year by
many degrees. The bay is already filling
up with new and strange shapes in the line
of yachts and arks. One man has placed
four of the old vacated horseears of the
Market-street company on a float, and 10 (!
he has an ark. The inhabitants call it

A new set of new cottages has been
erected in Belvedere during the winter,
two of them by the Mclean Brothers for
themselves, for they have put up nearly all
the others and are now engaged on a pre-
tentious castle on the very crown of the
hill for Charles o. Perry of the Columbian
Banking Company. 1t has been chris
tened 'Locksley Hall, " for the banker has
quite poetical turn.
The hall is to be of three stories only,
two OF which, however, rise above the
crest of the hill at its very highest point.

stretching clear round its four sides, eleven
feet wide, magnificent view presents it.
self. The bay, its islands and busy life,
spreads away from just beneath, while be-
yond the eye can see the landmarks of four
counties, with Tamalpais, DiabIo and
Hamilton lifting their high crests into the
distant sky, but from their distance seem
ing not SO high as the observer. Mr.. Perry
is bachelor, and his elegant home will
doubtless be the rendezvous of many of
his friends this summer 1t was designed
by j. G. Pelton, architect, and will cost
about $4,000.
DIR. L. Dunbar is putting in some i'm
provements to his villa, and Eugene Davis
is putting $4,000 addition to his elegant
residence.
The tide has already set in at Belvedere,
and at Sausalito the villas are rapidly fill
ing up, and there is besides quite little
boom in real estate. DR.. Bazan moved
over during this week, William P. Har-
rison will occupy his summer residence by
the first of the month, and Edgar Wilson
will go over just as soon as Mr.. Parry
moves into his own, for he is now living in
MIR. Wilson's house.
The boatbuilders are particularly busy
at Belyedere. Stone has Just completed a
yacht for w. F. Biber that follows modern
lines and is expected to create surprises.
Some thirteen new yachts have come into
the bay from all quarters and have given a
new spirit OF life to it's waters
