There we're storm clouds and rumblings Of in
| ternsl strife at the annual meeting OF the
Brooklyn Yacht Club. which was held at o Will
loughby street. Brooklyn. last night. The
trouble began q year ago with the resignation OF
ell the nag officers. and although apparently the
breach was healed a%fterward. the meet
ing last night proved that the acrimo-
NOUS feeling had only been slumber-
ipg for q twelfth-month. For some years
there has been more or less trouble between
yacht owners and non-yacht owners, and II has
been repeatedly alleged that the latter have
managed the politics Of the club In u manner
that compelled the yacht owners either to agree
with them, haul down the club burgee. or quiet
" submit to the ruling of the political faction.
Tho Nominating Committee. appointed by
President Jesnnot. composed Of =. s. Golding.
James Reilly. and George G. Shahor. presented
the folio wing names as the regular ticket:
For commodorc; Peter D. steele; Wee Commodors.

Of oxen Of the inelIgibility Of Commodore Steele
for reconciliation TO the once and have OPEN
ly declared that Vice-Commodore Constant,
who lowered his flag and allowed the -Commo-
dore to send the Insignia OF his rank TO the
truck Of the Aliris all last season, should be en-
titled TO tho highest honor that tho club could
pay him. As an additional reason, they say
that y~ice-Commodore Constant and Fleet Cap
tain Kilbourne were instrumental In arranging
last year the details Of the only cruise that was
held by the BROOKLYN Club for several seasons.
The vice-Commodore. II 10 said; made him
self obnoxious TO the Nominating Committee by
Of President. and In retaliation his name was
