 Plenty of work is being done at Tib- uron on the boats of the Corintnian fleet, many of which will be got ready during the next two weeks. and will attend the opening of the San Francisco Yacht Club on April B and 24. Last Sunday Joe Mat toons sloop Amigo came down from Ben icia, where she has been lying all winter. to her moorings at Tiburon. The yawl Arcturus Is expected to come off Frank Stones ways" at Tiburon in day or two. The Aeolus will then take her place. ways" at Hunters Point. The new suit of sails for ex-Commodore J. w. Pew g Truant has arrived and the Truant will be put on the ways in about week S time.
 Last year the Corinthians, represented by the Aeolus, won from the Encinal Yacht Club the perpetual challenge cup offered by the San Franciscos. Up to the present time no challenge for the cup has been received.
 E. B. Lathrop, secretary of the Corin- thians, has had a long spell of ill-health, but it is sincerely hoped by his friends sume business at the old stand
 The debt of the Encinal Yacht Club has recently been taken up by several of its members, who have. accepted the free of debt to outside parties. The new directors are displaying much energy, and are stirring up the club from the lethargic permitted it to fall. There is a marked increase in the clubs receipts, and a considerable number of new members Is expected. Several new electric lights have been put into the clubhouse, and the swimming facilities have been in- creased by the addition of trapeze and a new chute. Last Saturday evening a pri- vate party was given at the clubhouse which was prettily decorated and hung with Japanese lanterns. Many ot the guests were from Oakland or San Fran cisco. Next morning the visitors were taken out for trip on the bay in a gaso- line launch, which had two or three whitehalls in tow.
 On April 16, as already announced, tine California Yacht Club opens. There will be low jinks in the evening at the club house, and the first sail 'n squadron of the season will take place nex- day. A. M. Clay's sloop Sea Fox and some others are ready. Admiral E. A. von Schmidt S Whirlwind will be on hand on the open ing day, but may not be much seen dur ing the season, as the admiral has in- terests in Alaska that may draw him away.
 The California Yacht Clubs ways are not available for use at present having been badly strained last season, when the Thelma was upon them; but they will probably be rebuilt during the summer. At present boats are hauled out on the sandspit.
 The new sloop Occident, owned by Messrs Hager and Miller of West Oak land, will be launched before the end of the month. She is a handsome boat of the overhang type, forty-one feet over all, with plenty of outside ballast to give her stability. She is expected to prove a fast boat
