Florida Taobt Club of Jaoksoxviilk. — On the evening 

 of the fith of June the Florida Yacht Club, of Jacksonville. 

 met at the Metropolitan Hotel, in accordance with notice, and 

 the large attendance of members ami the enthusiasm mani- 

 fested siiows that success is assured. 



Tbe treasurer made his report, which was b Battering ex- 

 hibit of the financial affairs of the club. The land and build- 

 ing committee submitted their report, which included the 

 plans for a club bouse, grounds for the erection of tbe house, 

 etc. The rep. -irl was received and adopted. The election of 

 officers for the ensiling year resulted as follows : 



Wm. Aslor. Oommorlori C. J. Kcnworiby. Vice-Gommo- 

 dore; E W, Denny, Captain ; W. II. Bent, Sccrdary ; A 

 D. Bnsuett, Treasurer; a. M. Beck, Measnrer, House Com- 

 mittee— W. A. Dell, E. O. Stetson, II. D. lionnetheau. Build- 

 ing Ccir_n:iUs3— S. C'rimct D. ( l-tnki F II "1 Pays M Vv 

 Drew, J. Ii. Campbell. Finance Committee— D. G Ambler, 

 L. McConihe, (!. B. Benedict. Board of Trusters— \V. Stokes 

 Boyd, H. Ihsbcc, Jr., E. M. Randall. J. E. Gampb.ll, Dr. 

 Geo. R. Hall. Regatta Committee— J. P. Childs, K. Mc- 

 Laughlin, E. B. Kellogg. 



The building committee were instructed to erect a club 

 house, in accordance with the plans submitted by G. Hoover, 

 architect. 



The club house, by these plans, will be a two-story building, 

 seventy feet long bythirty wide, with a gallery all around the 

 second" floor ; and, upon the top of the house, an open prom- 

 enade, with railings, seventy feet long by eleven wide. The 

 first floor will be five feet above high water, with a rectangu- 

 lar opening or dock in it of seventy feet long by seven wide, 

 in which row boats can be moored, or even small sailing craft, 

 as the first floor will be eight feet from the second. Tbe first 

 floor, on either side, of the ■dock, is to be the receptacle, of the 

 spare rigging, sails, oars, etc. The second floor, which is to 

 he used' for hall, reception room, oath room, etc., will be ten 

 feel high at the sides and nineteen in tbe centre, being sur- 

 mounted by an octagon roof, upon which is the promenade 

 before mentioned ; and this breezy retreat is to be reached by 

 a flight of stairs from this floor. 'The boats in the club house. 

 dock can be entered, according to the plan, either from the 

 first floor or from two platforms, each eighteen feet long by 

 eight wide, situated on each side of Ihe water end of tbe 

 building. The club house, when completed, nest fall, will be 

 an ornament to the river side of the ci'y. 



It is the intention of the club to establish a reading room 

 where will be found the leading papers and journals of the 

 country. To enable winter visitors to participate in the advan- 

 tages of the organization, without the delay attending a nom- 

 ination and election, tbe constitution and by-laws provide that 

 upon the recommendation of a member a stranger can obtain 

 provisional membership and all the privileges of the club from 

 the house committee, by paying tbe annual subscription of 

 fifteen dollars— subject to future" action of the club at its next 

 meeting. If the provisional member should not be elected 

 ihe subscription will be refunded. It is the intention of the 

 club to strictly guard its portals, so that objectionable persons 

 cannot secure advantages offered. The by-laws and rules 

 and regulations arc very stringent, and gambling, drinking, or 

 ungentlemanly or disorderly conduct will result in immediate 

 suspension, if not in ultimate expulsion. 



With a grand river, in some places miles in width, and with 

 deep water, every advantage will be offered for yachting and 

 boating. As evidence of this, we need but refer to the fact 

 that deep and open water extends from the bar to the head of 

 Lake George, a distance of over lob miles. With an excellent 

 climate, and one of the best rivers in the country for aquatic 

 sports, we are sanguine that the club will be a success, and 

 that many visitors will take advantage Of the facilities offered. 



Jacksonville, Fla., June S, 1377." Al. PbEboo. 



[The members of this club are among the best citizens of 

 Jacksonville. Scarcely aver did a similar organization start 

 under better auspices, as regards men, means, influences, and 

 opportunities. The provision for non-resident members is 

 well conceived, and will add backbone to the club.— Ed. F. 

 & 8.]
