The Marine Yacht Club Entertains Its Friends in Royal Fashion. “The Japs,” a Japanese fraternity of the Alameda High School, gave a delighttul hay ride on last Friday evening. It was given asa farewell surprise to oneof the leaaing mem- bers of the fraternity, Miss Alice Wharton, who was to leave for her home and friends 1n Fresno. “The Japs” is the fraternity of the junior B class who, tired of seeing and hearing of Greek and Latin fraternities, decided on this asanovelty. Ivisavery secret organization. Itis said that when one joins he must take an oath in Japanese. The officers are all called by Japanese names. The colors are those of the Japanese flag, and everything about the fraternity has a Japanese aspect. Theride was kept a secret; no one outside of the fraternity knew anything about it, and when the classes were dismissed on last Friday at 3:30 o'clock the scholars were much sur- lunches, flags and lanterns, waiting for some ong, they knew not whom. Then the ‘Japs” came out in twos and marched down to the wagons and started off amid many cheers and g00d-bys. The destination of the merry party was Lake Chabot. After they had arrived at the lake and had enjoyed boating, fishing, rambling and other sports, a fine lunch was served. After viewing the eclipse the party again took prised to see two large wagons filled with hay, ] their places in the wagons and wended their way home, making the air resound with their voices as they sang popular songs and ‘‘Ben Bolt.” The party arrived home at midnight, after having spent a most delightful evening. Those who were present were: The Misses Alice Wharton, Daisy Smith, Leanor Center, Alice Wayminth, Jennie Russel, Muriel Swain, Grace Livingston, Fanny Frank, Floy Rose, Ruth- Sheldon, Emma Graves, Hattie Orr; Messrs. Phil Alexander, Otis Bordwell, Edgar Ward, Harold Spencer, Leland Ramsdell, Harry Bell, Creto Hamilton, Morris Stark, Lawrence Chevalier, and Miss E. Hamilton, Miss F. Hamilton. Mrs. Hicox, chaperon of the party. The members of the Marine Club gave an outing to their lady friends last Sunday that was largely attended. By order of Captain McCrosson an early start was made, and shortly thereafter bright eyes and glowing cheeks showed how well the ladies were enjoying the sail. In faot few if “;, who have ever experienced the buoyant exhilaration im rrud by a yacht's motion will ever forget the royal sport. Once during the day, when an unusually heavy swell was encountered, an impromptu programme was arranged by the yachtsmen in order to divert the minds of their guests from thoughts of mal de mer and other disagree- able subjects. The result proved eminently successful. As a curtain-raiser the club’s improvisa- tionist contributed & laughable skit, which he sang to the air of *‘Ma Angeline.” The vigor with which the ladies took up the chorusat- tested how weil his efforts were l{ppreclned. Will Retchless told some funny stories, Miss Casey sang charmingly and Morris and Pless played the banjo and guitar. Phillips, the erstwhile kodak flend of the club, being called upon for a few remarks, gave & humorous dis- sertation on the ‘X" rays. The party disem- barked at McNears Landing, where lunch was served, and that important function disposed of they soon broke up into small groups to search” for the many pretty and romantic spots to be found in that lflcllit‘. Late in the afternoon, all having re-em- barked, the return for home was commenced, and with a favorable wind the run was made to the City in good time. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. G. ‘W. Morse, Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Retchless, Mr. anc Mrs. H. C. Moyce, Mr. and Mrs. Al Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Lowney, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Holmes, Mrs. Griffin rs. Smith, Miss F. Munk, Miss C. Munk, Miss Sadye Movyce, Miss A. Guamunsen, Miss F. McCrosson, Miss M. Casey, Miss Casey, Miss Marguerite Heberge, Miss” Annie O’Connor, Miss L.

Miss Mattie Kirby of Mills College gaves straw ride Friday evening to Lake Chabot. Luncheon was served at the lake under the trees, which were hung with Chinese Janterns. The'party was chaperoned by Miss Howard of Mills and Mrs. Leiand Shannon. Among those articipating were Leland Shannon, Misses Howard, Laird, Price, Warren, Mattie Kirby, Mattie Gibney and Avis Gibney, Messrs. Leland Shannon, lomon, Boyd "Amidon, . Keville and = Galifornians in New York NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 22, 1896.—1 dropped into the Grand Central Palace last week and waited for something to oc- cur that would move me to applause. I had not long to wait, for in scanning the pro- gramme I came across the name of Meyer Cohn, *“the California barytone,” as they call him, ‘When Mr. Cohn appeared he was ac- companied by a weaith of paraphernalia that made me wonder what he was en- gaged in. I thought, perhaps, he had de- veloped into a stereopticon lecturer ora kinetoscope agent, but I was mistaken. He is simply a singer still. Behind him was a sheet of canvas, the utility of which I discovered in time. 1 | might as well relieve you now by saying that he illustrated his songs with pictures fitting the creation. Take the case of his popular sentimental ballad, “My Mother Was a Lady.” When he be- gins to sing the benign face of a beautiful oid woman is flashed on the canvas and as the song progresses and the fact is brought out that a waitress is telling her tale of woe to the audience that person also appears. BShe proceeds to relate through the mediumship of Mr. Cohn that her mother was at the top of the heap as a domestic attraction, and that notwithstanding her occupation as a waitress she was well connected as the lineal descendant of a woman who was above all else *“a lady.” As the song goes she is insulted by a dyspeptic zourmet, and in reply to him she remarks that the presence of one cer- tain ** Jack,” who appears to be a friend of hers, would put a stop to all such but ness. At the mention of the said Jack's name there is a flash of light, and Jack looking quite bad and ready for troable, is -presented to the audience. Really it is very funny to see the history and beliefs before the spectators, and the people of New York are so delighted with it that Mr. Cobn is receiving something like $500 a week for his part of the eame. Sydney Palmer, for thirteen years at the head of Palmer & Rey’s Eastern advertis- ing business in New York, has opened an office of his own and is doing that quality of business that generally comes to the Pacific Coaster when he gets in harness. Dave Foltz, Tue Carv's Eastern adver- tising manager, is once more at his desk from a visit to San Francisco and has lots to say about the quality of buainess that is being done here for the paper. I must once more tell you of Frank Nankivel)'s rapid advance to the front-as an illustrator. Richard Mansfield, so well known to the coast, has engaged him to make his portrait for the next season’s lithographs. He has instructed the young man to turn out something entirely in his own original style, something that is greatly removed from the conventional and customary theatrical work. Mr. Nankivell is now making sketches from life, and inside of the next month 200,000 sheets will be printed and sent broadcast all over the land, with the not improbable result that theatrical work will take on a new color. R. B. Hale and wife are in New York at the Majestic Hotel. Mr. Hale is a member of the well-knov.u firm of brothers by that name, who have so many of the bestdry- goods stores in California under their jurisdiction and management. They are enjoying themselves here with all the luxuries afforded by the East, but they have not forgotten that California is at the head of the States that are worth living in. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Michelson are spending the summer in Rutherfora, New Jersey. Charley has got an equipment of ‘Western six-pistols with which to fight off Epstein, Mrs, F. Lehman, Mr, Locwenstein, | of this poor waitress slide like a panorama | the mo?mitoel. 4 J. J. Dwyer of San Francisco, who, along with Barry N. Hilliard of Idaho, attended the meeting of the Democratic National Committee as committeemen from their respective States, left for home a few days ago. Mr. Dwyer was slated for a place on the campaign commitiee and the appoint- ment was made public by Chairman Jones and printed in the New York papers. Then the appointment was withheld and the Californian returned home without being officially notified of what action, if any, had been taken or whether the ap- pointment was merely newspaper talk. Mr. Dwyer made a favorable impression with the leading politicians who swarmed about the Fifth Avenue Hotel last week. It turned out that Mr. Dwyer and Mr. Hilliard were schoolmates in the Mission as boys. They met at the Chicago con- vention for the first time in years. Both were delegates from their respective | States. Hilliard went. to Idaho early in the eighties. With native talent and energy he soon forged his way to the front, and is now pne of the leading men of his State. He took a prominent part in the Chicago convention, being among the first to declare for Bryan and Sewall. He will probably have charge of the campaign in his State, and there is some talk among Idaho Democrats now in New York of having him run for the United States Sen- ate in case his party is snccessful at the polls. X Messrs. Hilliard and Dwyer remained here for a week after the Bryan notifica- tion meeting, and, along with other Cali- fornians now in town, took in the sights of gay New York. They witnessed the great Futurity race at Sheepshead, where Marcus Daly of Montana carried off a $60,000 purse ana $150,000 on the side, went to the seaside resorts, and listened to the warblings of roof-garden songsters.
