The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-12

Donald Ross new schooner; the Aza-
lene, Vice-Commodore Roberts boat;
the Rover, Commodore Bruce's slSop:
the White Wings, Captain James
T. Coleman; the Truant, Commo-
dore J. W. Pew's flag ship; the Aggie,
Queen and Sappho, were all riding at
anchor, dressed in bunting and colors from
truck to deck. In front of the San Fran
cisco Club the Chispa, Commodore Little's
flag ship, was dressed in her best, and the
Pomona and Frolic were crowded with
flags.
The first crowd that went over to the
oDening left the city on the ! AS boat, and
as the Sausalito steamed into the harbor,
guns doomed forth their welcome from the
clubhouse porch, from the Powered walks
and from the yachts at their moorings.
The Sausalito was in holiday attire with
her flags and colors and she responded to
the salute with continuous blasts from her
siren.
Below the winding balconies, the flash
of oars cleaned through the hazy atmos-
phere; rowboats were 1azily plying between
the yachts and the shore, steam launches
were darting down the bay between Sausa-
Tito and the clubhouse steps, and a more
lazy, pretty or picturesque scene could not
be painted by an artist.
1t was not until night, though, that the
full beauty of the scene burst in all the
glory of midsummer nights dream for
the guests of the yacht club. Never in the
history of the club was such fine sight
ashore and afioat in Sausalito. President
John Landers looked after the wants OF
the guests at the clubhouse, and Commo-
dore Caduc took care of the celebration in
the offing.
It was too hot to land during the after
- ~ !,
and excursions to the yachts were most
popular.
Steward Ernest Doelter looked after the
inner man and inner woman, and set up a
most sumptuous repast. Everybody lin
gered over the stewards table until the
red fire began to glow and the Chinese and
Japanese lanterns began to dance in the
rigging of the craft.
The Annie looked like a Japanese garden
about deck and champagne was fixing and
dancing in the cabin. The Lurline looked
like veritable floating palace inside and
out and the Lily l. whs a picture beyond
compare. From her deck were shooting
upwards skyrockets, red fire and balloons
mingling their lights with the Oriental
illuminations in the rigging. Present
were:
