'The inhabitants of Belvedcere and Tiburon and the California Northwestern Raillway officials are strongly in favor of the project. A peti- tion has already been prepared, which will be placed In the hands of the California Congressmen - for presentation to the House of Representatives. This is a mat- ter in which all owners of small craft, trading schooners, launches, arks and | yachts are interested and is expected to meet with general support. To make & safe harbor it will bé neces- sary to dredge the mud out to a uniform depth_and erect a mole stretching out from Belvederc Point to keep the mud of the upper bay from accumulatin, filling the cove again. s At the annual New Year's day dis of the Corinthian Yacht Club the large hall of the Tiburon clubhouse was 4 Samely decorated with prize and sienai flage, green leaves and red berries.

L e e e e ] the Corinthians must be up and doing, if they are to keep all their honors. He also said the success of the Corinthian Club is due to the harmony and good fel- lowship that have been characteristic of the club since its foundation. “Vice Com- modore E. F. Sagar, who will be elected commodore at the annual meeting on the 29th inst., made a good speech, touching on club politics and urging the members to do their duty as voters. The dinner was one of the most successful ever given in the Tiburon clubhouse, and was under the capable management of Port Captas John H. Keefe. The Callfornia Yacht Club has for a | long time past found the distanee of its anchorage from the open waters of the bay a serious drawback, and the members hope to secure in time for the opening of the season a location at the mouth of Oakland Creek, where the yachts may b. moored safely. During the winter . the will be laid up either in Oakland Creek or San Leandro Bay. If in the latter place a shed will be erected for the storage of spars, sails and other equipment. so the boats may be outfitted there at the open- ing of the season. ————— MADKID.
