At the last meeting of the board of directors of the 
California Yacht Club several sets of plans' for the new 
clubhouse, to be built near one of the railroad moles, 
were presented for consideration. The design most likely 
to be adopted was suggested by ex-Commodore Allen M. 
Clay and was approved by the directors present at the 
meeting. The clubhouse will be two and a half stories 
high, in the colonial style, with a lighthouse tower con- 
taining a cluster of lights eighty-five feet above sea level. 
A veranda will run around the dome, from which a fine 
view will be obtained. 
In the clubhouse there will be fifty lockers for yacht 
owners aud 250 for members who do not own yachts. 
There will be space for storing eighty small boats and 
for a pumping-room, in which will be installed a motor 
to supply power for hauling yachts up on the ways. 
A wide staircase will lead to the second floor, on which 
will be the reception hall and assembly-room, which- will 
have a stage 37 by 18 ft. at one end. There will also be a 
parlor, dressing-room, rooms for the directors and for 
billiards and cards. Dressing-rooms will be adjacent to 
the stage. A large reading-room with a great open fire- 
place will lead off the assembly-room. The wide veranda 
will be open on one side and covered with glass on the 
other. The half-story on the top will contain a stewards' 
room and a sail loft. — San Francisco Call.

new bowling allej's, an electric lighting system, additions 
to the dining-room, swimming pool, and the servants' 
quarters.

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Some little impatience seems to exist among some of 
our readers, who are anxious to learn what has become 
of the Cruising Competition, and we are only now able 
lo gratify this natural curiosity. It has taken time to 
read over the various accounts of cruises submitted, and 
to sort out those worthy of a place in the competition 
from others which were not so good. Of the number 
submitted, eight have been adjudged worthy to compete, 
but a decision as to the successful competitors must be 
delayed for some little time since the. judge, Mr. Zerega, 
of the New York Yacht- Club, is now in Europe, and the 
stories submitted must be sent to him for examination 
and placing. Meantime, we must ask the competitors and 
others to exercise patience.

OssiNiNG, N. Y., Dec. 12. — To the Members of the 
American Canoe Association: It is my sad duty to 
notify you of the death of your Secretary-Treasurer. 
Louis Simpson, of Yonkers, N. Y. He died there 
yesterday after a short illness of appendicitis. 
His death is a great loss to his family, friends and 
to the A. C. A., where those who knew him had 
formed the utmost respect and affection for his sin- 
cere and lovable qualities. 
During his membership in the A. C. A. his manner 
of action and life at our various meetings, in doors 
and in camp, has been a proper model and fine ex- 
ample for our members to follow: 
I will extend .our heartfelt sympathies to his family.
