8AN FRANCISCO YACHT CLUB.— A very successful season was 

 brought to a close with a dance aud luuch at the clubhouse, San- 

 oellto, Nov, :>, and a cruise to Yallejo with the guests. Owing to the 

 want of wind, only the Annie, Frollo and Aggie got under way for 

 the cruise. As the winter months, with long calms and tickle airs, 

 have settled In upon the Pacific coast, most, craft have been laid up 

 and stripped. Pour new schooners, about 60 ft., are building, and 

 will be slipped In time for next season. Yachting has become the 

 leading spurt in San Francisco, and Is gl owing apace every year. In 

 proportion to population the fleet of the Pacific is more numerous 

 than that of any port ot the country , New York and Boston excepted. 

 There is Chicago, with half a million Inhabitants, and scarce half a 

 dozen craft lit to lie termed yachts ; there li Philadelphia and Balti- 

 more with no more, than a score between them, and a dozen lesser 

 cities where a yacht, has never been seen, one and all as advantage- 

 ously located for the sport, yet none ot them showing the life and 

 love for the sea exhibited by the people on the California coast. Dr. 

 Merrltt, ot the schooner Casco, has recently spent some time in the 

 East, and, wirh his fondness tor the sea. did not lose the chance to 

 ipspeet some of the best of our metropolitan yachts. He Is slrongly

 mistake made was In not putting on just twice as much. The Casco

PRESERVING SAILS.— Several Inquirers are informed that there 

 Is no royal road to the preservation of sails. They require careful 

 attention all the year tound, plenty of airlug, and should never be 

 furled nor stowe. »,e. hi]-? damp. There Is noi lung wnich will effectu- 

 ally remove mildew, but the cam as may be protected to some extent, 

 by steeping In the n ell-known mixture of one pound sugar ot lead 

 dissolved in one gallon of soft water, then al.owing the canvas to 

 drain and again steeping in a so.ution of one pound of finely pow- 

 deied alum dissolved In one gallon ot soft water. For large areas use 

 more in like proportions. Tents, bags and canvas coats may be 

 madefai'ly water-proof by the same process. The articles should

is a light scrubbing with soft brush, fresh water and castlle soap, 

 theu sprinkling with dilute lime water and drying In the sun. Every 



time soils are scrubbed the race or the canvas Is worn down. It la 

 better to use a soft brush and take time to the work than apply hard 

 bristles and quickly ruin ihe sails, our own plan Is to have a row of

( i "l TKHS.-No better evidence of the Increasing popularity ot cut- 

 ters could be asked than that the New York Herald deems it advisable 

 to give lis readers a column and one-half on the subject. The article 

 which appeared In the Herald Taursday last was fairly well written, 

 and as a •• lesson In cutters, ' what they are and why they are superior 

 to sloops, deserves a word of praise. Forest and Stkeam has for 

 years been aware that cutters were destined to become as popular In 

 America as they are in Europe, and that it was only a question ol 

 time when our provincial prejudice would wear away against a type 

 and rig much sup -rior to the eratt ot home waters. We therefore 

 i i o the great help the good cause of honest boats has received 

 ' '.he medium ol Luc /f«ru,'.i".i article, which will do much 

 toward making the general public familiar with a style of boat 

 tabooed trom our waters far too long through the narrow-minded 

 in iui ires of the old school which cannot see beyond Itsown little 

 front yard gate.
