Yacht Clubs
Gulf Coast Southern Yacht Club - Bay St. Louis, Miss, Aug. 4 (1894) At the regular monthly meeting of the board of mayor and aldermen at Waveland, last night, the following important resolution was introduced and unanimously carried by the board; That the privilege be granted to the Gulf Coast Southern Yacht Club to build in front of Nicholson or Coleman avenue a building with the necessary adjuncts for a club house, said privilege to be granted for 99 years and the club be exempt from any corporation taxes. Of course, enough members must subscribe before anything definite can be done. The shares will be $25 each for full membership in the club. Therefore, two hundred shares will make $5000, the said amount being amply sufficient to give a fine building with all the needed equipment’s. Several attempts have been made heretofore to organize a club, each time the enterprise has fallen through, but on this occasion there are those at the head who are not used to failures, and whose progressive ideas are so well known that the spirit is catching and will enthuse all listening to the arguments in favor of the club. The two gentlemen getting this matter before the board are sure of success, and declare that they will work until it is an assured fact. The object of the club is not only to give annual regattas, but to have a fine band of music, with a concert at least once or twice a week, with grand balls etc. In fact, the rules of the Southern Yacht Club, of New Orleans, will be adopted with amendments to make it even more attractive. One of the gentlemen agitating this question has just returned from a long trip and he was in Canada during last week's Great Regatta, and says the people of Waveland and the Bay have no idea how extensively these regattas advertise this section, and of how much interest is taken in them all over the United States. It is thought every property holder at Waveland will subscribe, which will at once bring forward the desired amount and will also be the means of raising the value of real estate on account of the inducements for summer pleasures.
