After the arrival from this city of
the $50 p. m. ferry-boat at Tiburon
this evening the regular Corinthian

p. m. at Fort Point tomorrow the

The day set for the opening of the
bridge for the yachts to pass into the
waters of the lagoon at Tiburon is No
vember 13. 1t seems. however, likely
that several yachtsmen will seek quar-
ters for their yachts elsewhere for the
coming winter season. 1t is said that
the current runs through the new Bel
vedere bridge so strongly that only a
short period of slack water is left for
the boats to pass in at the entrance.
Some of the yacht owners, unwilling to
take the risk of damaging their craft,
may decide to lay them up in COrte
MADEIRA Creek.

cisco Yacht Club, given last Saturday
in the clubhouse at Sausalito were

G.. A Mueller acted as announcer, per-

inside and with silver ladle, in ac-
acknowledgement of the Kindness of the
club to visiting San Francisco yachts
men. Judge" Brown, on behalf of the
