Yachting on the California Coast. 
THE yachting season on the Pacific coast is 
over. The Corinthian, A®olian and California 
yacht clubs held their closing cruises in squadron, 
Oct. 27. But little time will be lost in beginning 
the work of stripping the yachts for the six 
months of inactivity which is to follow. All of 
the owners have made their arrangements as to 
where they will place their yachts during the 
winter months. 
The past season has ‘been a most enjoyable 
one. The cruises of the different clubs have all 
been well attended, the numerous races afforded 
some keen competition for the speedy craft in 
San Francisco Bay, and above all southern yacht 
clubs have been brought into northern .competi- 
tion as a result of the San Francisco perpetual 
cup race between Valkyrie of the South Coast 
Y. C. and Discovery of the Corinthian Y. C. 
Southern California yachtsmen will, no doubt, 
be represented in all of the events of importance 
in the future. Next season promises to be one 
of the most interesting in the history of the 
sport on San Francisco Bay. s 
OCEAN THE PACIFIC, 
A great deal of interest is being taken at San 
Francisco in ocean racing, and this feature will 
be all impoftant next season. Commodore F. G. 
Phillips helped revive interest in ocean racing 
by giving a trophy for the Farallon race, a 
course of fifty miles. If present plans do not 
miscarry, there will be a race from the Heads 
to Santa Cruz and a series of events in Monterey 
Bay. Then there is the great ocean race from 
Los Angeles to Honolulu, in which local as well 
as southern yachtsmen, are heavily interested. 
The programme for the future promises good 
sport and keen competition. 
NEW YACHTS FOR SAN FRANCISCO. 
RACES ON 
Many owners are contemplating new boats. F. 
G. Phillips, commodore of the San‘ Francisco 
Y. C., has bought the well known sloop Monsoon 
from the South Coast Y. C., of Los Angeles, and 
will probably race her next season. Monsoon, 
formerly owned by J. T. Pew, is not unknown 
to San Francisco yachtsmen. She has never 
been beaten in a strong wind and holds the 
record for the 85 mile course of 16h, 14m. es- 
tablished during last year’s ocean race around 
the Catalina islands. 
Wm. Gardner, of New York, designed the boat 
which was built at Los Angeles. She was 
launched in April, 1906. Monsoon measures 43ft. 
Sin. over all, oft. beam, 6ft. 7%4in, draft and 
24ft. I1in. waterline. With the acquisition of 
several additional boats of this kind local sports- 
men predict a number of new records of the 
season to come. 
HUMBOLDT BAY MOTOR BOAT CLUB, 
Interest is being displayed in motor boats at 
San Francisco, and several clubs have been or- 
ganized. The latest society is in Eureka and 
is known as the Humboldt Bay Motor Boat Club. 
H, A. Lund, Geo. Henderson, T. H. Tehnduer, 
C. R. Thompson and L. J. Sylverton are the lead- 
ing spirits of the organization, and the interest 
they display in the scheme seems certain to make 
the club a success. 

Old Beat a Copper Mine. 
WuHe_EN an old sailboat was being broken up 
in Huntington, L. I., a few days ago, it was 
found that old-fashioned copper pennies had been 
used as washers in the construction of the craft. 
Inquiry among local historians developed the 
fact that the boat was built many years ago by 
Capt. Henry Ketcham for his own use. He 
wanted it built good and strong and seaworthy, 
and when it came to putting in the rivets and 
bolts he supplied a quantity of copper pennies as 
washers. Not having enough of them he bought 
up the entire stock of pennies held by the local 
merchants and finally made a trip to New York 
city to get more to finish out the work. Alto- 
gether several hundred pennies were used. 

Tue builders of the little bilge board sloop 
Pup, whose plans and photos were published 
last, are Messrs William and Warren C. Dodge.
