FIRST OPENING CRUISE,
The California Yacht Club Was
Out in Force on the
Bay.
A Water Carnival to Be Given in
Honor of the Visiting Ma
tive Sons.

The California Yacht Club held its first
cruise yesterday. 1t was to have been
sailed by signal from the flagship, but
just at the start the commodore's craft was
disabled and orders were given to the feet
to go as they pleased.
Commodore Bruce expected to have his
yacht Rover in shape by yesterday, but
was unable to get her in readiness. When
this became known to Captain Nutz he
rendered the use of his yacht the Pride of
the Bay to the commodore for flagship,
which offer was accepted.
As the Pride of the Bay was leaving the
creek and getting into open water heavy
slant of wind struck her and she parted a
STATED heaving to to make repair, which
took almost an kour. The feet went on to
the city, then along the water front and
over to Sausalito.
"When the flagship reached the channel
they found most interesting state of af-
fairs. There was a gale ALLOWING that
made the yacht shorten canvas and run
for shelter. The commodore eased off the
sheet and made for the lee of Angel
Island, where were found the Harpoon,
Little, Annie, La Paloma, Cisul, Queen
and several others.
From Angel Island all the way up the
upper bay there was hardly enough wind
for the yacht to stem the tide. This being
the case, it was found impossible to make
Sausalito by way of the straits. A double
reef was tucked into the Pride and the
commodore again started out into the
nasty weather.
The work of this craft was fine, and she

dent of Golden Gate Park in his Office yes
terday.
"And it is to be hoped" added Com
missioner Austin, "that the bicyclers will
use it, for it will be magnificent one and
one of which they ought to feel proud.
They, by using this to reach the beach,
will be out of the way of the many teams
on the main drive and consequently will
have more freedom and be in less danger
than they are now"
Eyes, they'll use it after they have been
over it a few tines remarked Commits
sioner Rosenfeld. "All they want is to
know that it is open.
"By the way" said Commissioner Aus

paper which gives some very interesting
figures which show how much the people
there expend on their parks, and these he
will submit at the next meeting of the
Commissioners.

the sum of 81, 126 GA for the maintenance
of South Park. covering between 800 and
400 acres of ground The sum of $421, $40
is allowed to keep up Lincoln Park, which
covers but $50 acres, and 1914, $50 is allowed
for West Park. These parks are all in a
high state of cultivation and well kept.
Baltimore has allowed 100000 for the
Improvement of her parks, while San
Francisco, which has one of 11oO acres and
the best opportunities for making it one OF
the finest in the world, has to struggle
along on 500, 900 a year.
"For seven months in the year." re-
, marked Commissioner Austin, Eve are
| forced to spend a great deal of money that
| in the East is not used for such purpose.
I refer to water. If we want to keep the
park looking fresh and green for at least
seven months in the year we are forced to
water it. In the East they have frequent
rains. Why, tomorrow we will have to
put on fifty men to water the grounds, and
| that means money"
"You might say that these fifty men are
not new men, but they are men taken from
different parts of the park" said Commits.
sioner Rosenfeld, interrupting. "If it was
| simply stated that we were going to put
| fifty men on we would have thousand
men at our office looking for jobs"
Superintendent McLaren stated that four
miles of pipe have been laid recently ex-
| tending from the panhandle to the western
extremity of the park. Nine thousand
feet of pipe have been laid on the site OF
the Midwinter Fair, with hydrants fifty
feet apart. Experience shows, the super
| intendent said, that it is more satisfactory
to handle short lengths of hose than long
ones, hence the many hydrants. The ex-
pense for water yearly, including the cost
of pumping, sprinkling carts and drivers
and the time OF the men who have to water
the grounds, is nearly SIC, 600.

house being crowded, but Mr.. Krause said
when l introduced myself:
"'Oh I'm tired of you Baldwin people.

Baldwin Theater. That made no differ
saw Krause in the Baldwin, asked him if
he had paid for his admission. He adj
mitted that he had not, and l told him to
leave the house, Then | lost my temper
and used my boot on him."
Manager Krause at the box-office of the
Tivoh told an entirely different story.
There was no such thing as personal vio-
lence entering into the quarrel at all, /" said
he. "Mr Harley demanded box from a
standing-room' house, and was told that
the house was full. Then, the compli-
mentary box being refused, he paid for it.
When went to the Baldwin was told to
leave by Mr.. Harley, after / had offered to
pay for my admission. No money would
be accepted, and left the house without
anything more than remonstrance.
"He never presumed to lay hands on
me, for if he had l should have taken the
law into my own hands. Do look" added
Mr.. Krause, ''like man who would stand
being assaulted without remonstrance2"
Thus ended the personal row, but among
the theatrical people in town the recontIe
was the prime theme of discussion. Physi,
cally Krause is much the heavier, but
Harley has a record for impetuosity and
ill-brooks insults, fancied or real. AS he
admits himself, he lost his temper. The
question of probable police action on the
ground of assault was ridiculed by both
men, and the chances are that, save for a
possible stiffness in conduct when they
meet again, the men will be friends.
