About 300 attended and it is announced that the mem- bership, 150, is closed and a waiting list entered. For a year the club has waited for the opening day and Tuesday the officers were showered with congratu- lations on the work accomplished by the membership and guests. The club-house is ideally situated at the harbor between the drainage canal and the lake at Wilmette. Mooring water is protected by a break-water. An excellent beach stretches from the house out to the lake and a beautiful marine view, sweeping vast deep col- ored water and sky, will delight the card players or loungers on the pi- azza. Excellent Clubhouse and Grounds The North Shore evolved from the old Evanston Yacht club. The new out-grew the old and larger and bet- ter equipped quarters were demanded, The new house is comfortable and charming. The men's locker is well equipped, including showers. The women's room is de- lightfully decorated and cozy blue tables and chairs make it restful and thoroughly feminine. The lounge gives a feeling of bigness and sugges- tion of ease; card tables and big deep chairs are scattered and there is a fireplace. The hearth has caused plans for winter and the pro- gram is being enlarged for winter sports. The kitchen is well equipped and adequate for ambitious parties. The dance floor is out-doors, adding to its charm on a summer night. Tuesday night the lawn took on car- nival atmosphere.

Ely is chair- man of the entertainment committee on the Fourth of July kept the police and members were loudly acclaiming the work of his committee as the guests and members drew from the party for home. Martin Svebiliug was chairman of the fireworks committee and he took praise for his workers on the smoothness of the arrange- ments and the taste in selection. Other officers of the club are: Wil- liam H. Noble, commodore; "Skip" Lawson, vice-commodore; C. E. Ware, treasurer; H. W. Thorpe, jr., E. W. DeMoe and F. L. Bateman, with the officers, are the directors. A near casualty was the capsizing of a boat sailed by "Bill" Noble and "Skip" Lawson. Their sail-boat over- turned when they were displaying their '"dipsea'" technique to two friends. The boat was immediately righted and a self-bailing cock-pit cleared the water, so the party put to shore under its own "power" and with- out other than a wetting. py.
