Cruise to ISthmus Voted Best
Ever in South Coast

of the South Coast Yacht club, which
has been held at the Isthmus annually
for the past six years. Each year the
cruise has been we'll attended and
success in the eyes of those VINO hao
charge Of the management, but the
one which ended yesterday with the
return of the yachts was a big, howl
ing success. The attendance was the
largest and the management or the
cruise nothing which would ada 10 the
comfort of the yachtsmen.
About $50 Southern California Corin-
thians attended the affair. OF that
number O. large majority were mem
bers of the club, while the remainder
were their friends.

pearance than it did saturday SUNDAY

craft lying at anchor in the bay.
