San Francisco Yachting. 
The outlook for the season of 1908 in local 
yachting circles is very bright. Yachtsmen 
around the bay expect to make the season an 
exceedingly interesting one, especially in view 
of the coming of the naval fleet. The officers 
of both the San Francisco and Corinthian clubs 
are planning to entertain the officers of the fleet 
extensively, and have many events in preparation 
at the headquarters at Sausalito and Tiburon. 
The yacht owners,’ meeting of the Corinthian 
Y. C. was held at Tiburon March 11, when 
the definite sailing programme for the season 
was adopted. Nearly all the owners are now 
putting their yachts into condition for the sea¬ 
son, and a number of them are having new suits 
of sails made. 
The California Y. C. has moved its club house 
to Brooks Island, opposite Golden Gate, where 
it commands a fine view of the channel course. 
The Aeolian Y. C., of Alameda, will have a 
more important place this year than formerly. 
Its new club house on San Leandro Bay is about 
complete, and will probably be ready in time for 
the opening day exercises. The club had a 
fairly good fleet last year, and the members are 
now augmenting this with some of the best 
boats on the bay. The latest to come under the 
flag of this club is the sloop Emma, which has 
been successfully raced in the past by the Short 
brothers of the Corinthian Y. C. 
The California Y. C. officers have appointed 
Commodore D. J. Keane, August R. F. Brandes 
and R. R. l’Hommedieu delegates to the Pacific 
Interclub Yacht Association. 
The yachtsmen of San Francisco Bay are 
deeply interested in a project which is being ad¬ 
vanced to secure for the pleasure craft a safe 
and convenient harbor on the San Francisco 
water front. The need of such a place has been 
felt for some time. The proposed location of 
the harbor is a cove to the south of Black 
Point, near Fort Mason, where boats at anchor 
would be protected from the prevailing west 
winds, and from the strong tides of the Golden 
Gate. The Dolphin Boating Club has its head¬ 
quarters on the shore of this cove, and is co¬ 
operating with the yachtsmen to have it set aside 
for a pleasure craft harbor. 
Edgar Y an Bergen will not sail with the com¬ 
modore of the Corinthians this season, but will 
fit up his own Aloha and make her a “family 
boat.” Certain matrimonial plans of the young 
Corinthian are the cause of the change. 
Isidor Gutte, who was for many years annu¬ 
ally elected commodore of the San Francisco 
Y. C., died Feb. 25 at his home in Alameda. 
He had reached the age of 75 years, and his 
death was not unexpected by his friends, as he 
had been in poor health for over a year. He 
was known as the Commodore by every yachts¬ 
man in San Francisco. When yacht racing on 
San Francisco Bay was confined to large 
schooners, Mr. Gutte had the Chispa built, and 
the craft won many races on the bay in former 
years. He was a pioneer on this coast, having 
come here from Germany in 1849. 
The boat races between the University of Cali¬ 
fornia and Stanford University have been post¬ 
poned until April 25, as it is said that the teams 
will be unable to get into shape before that time. 
Canoeing. 
A. C. A. 
To the Members of Western Division A. C. A.: 
The canoeing season is approaching and some 
preparations should be made for a Division meet, 
which is to be held from July 10 to 20 on the 
shore of Spring Lake, near Grand Haven, Mich. 
All the boys who attended our last two meets 
are anxiously looking forward to this one. 
The advantages of this meet are many, among 
which are the accessibility of the location for 
all. A one night ride across the lake for the Chi¬ 
cago and Milwaukee boys, railroad and interur- 
ban facilities for all the others. The lake is 
large enough to lay out the triangular sailing 
course, with three one-half mile legs, while it is 
narrow enough to prevent very rough water. It 
is 8 or 10 miles long, therefore affords unlimited 
possibilities for one day trips, down and into 
Lake Michigan, or the other way towards Grand 
Rapids. 
There are also many delightful cruises which 
may be made in this vicinity. Among others 
from the headwaters of the Muskegon down to 
its mouth at Lake Michigan, with the assurance 
of the best of many kinds of fishing. 
The prospects of a big camp are indeed very 
bright. We have added many new members and 
still we all know some good fellow who would 
like to camp or cruise with, or even beat us in a 
race. This is the fellow we want in the associa¬ 
tion. So my brother canoeist, get him in. The 
sooner the better. We do not want to increase 
the association without regard to personnel, but 
any who answer the above description is every 
inch a gentleman and a sportsman, and we want 
him. 
Next year we are entitled to the grand meet 
of the A. C. A. Therefore, we must make this 
our “Banner Year” and cause the entire associa¬ 
tion to sit up and take notice of what the Baby 
Division is doing. 
You have all received notices from the treas¬ 
urer to pay your dues. Those who have not re¬ 
mitted, 1 trust will ride along with us and send 
the dollar. 
In closing I wish to impress the following | 
Don’t Forgets : Pay your dues ; get another good 
member; to arrange your vacation so that you 
may be with the push from July 10 to 20 of this 
year; to be with us at least at one of our camp 
fires and push and boost for the good of the 
A. C. A. 
Hoping to greet you all at the dock at Spring 
Lake, I am, yours for a big meet,
