lnt0 the building from its easterly side.

uPening ceremonies said: "Hello, Mars,

itest wishes " and Mars proceeded on
s !OUrney westward.
Avalon bay probably never before had
so many beautiful pleasure craft float-
d~g on its placid bosom as on Satur-
ay afternoon--and they were quite
generally dolled tip with signal flags
and bunting. The occasion for their
. ~hthering was the formal opening of
[ue Catalina Island Yacht Club club-
hOUse, which has universally been pro-
~Launed the most fitting house of its
'.~aracter on the coast. During the
a'!terrloou there was a constant stream
ot visitors to the new home of the
Ya.ehtmen, and the expressions of ad-
~Wation for the building, its arrange-
raent, furnishings, landing float, etc.,
Were unstinted.
,LPreceeding the formal opening in
i~.e evening over one hnndred anti
u.lrty members :nf
rttends enjoyed a the club and their
elaborate supper at
ue Hotel St Catherine--one of the
hnoarlY which have served to make that
Stelry and its chef famous.
i Vce feel that all our readers will be
aterested in knowing who were pres-
ent at this function, so will attempt to
~nUmerate them, though the task is a
~rge one, and if any person's name
as been overlooked it is an uninten-
testimnal oversight.
