BEACHMONT. May 2-The hardwood floors and finishings of the interior of the Revere yacht club’s new home have received their second coat of shellac, and the outside ha* had a generous application of bright yellow paint. The contractor and builder has turned the building over to the board of directors, and they will in turn transfer the house and furnishings to the club in about two weeks. In the meantime the directors are preparing an appropriate program for the proper dedication of the premises.The clubhouse is the finest in town, built entirely of hardwood, the lower floor being given up to a committee room, kitchen, ladies’ and gentlemen’s toilets, and an assembly room, while the whole of the upper floor is a. hall that will comfortably seat 200 persons, and will be used mostly for club socials and balls.The furniture, with the exception of the committee room, is of oak, and a handsome new’ piano for the hall, range for the kitchen, and a crate of crockery for the pantry have been put in.The committee room will have furniture of a more elaborate pattern, and a couch for the janitor, who will sleep there nights.Six square oak tables, highly polished, have been placed in the hall, and will be used for banquet purposes. When arranged in a row they extend the entire length of the room.A sliding door on the water side opens 011 to a piazza from the lower floor, which extends the entire width of the house, and is 12 feet deep. The pier, 100 feet in length, Is two feet lower than the piazza. From the end of the pier a flight of steps will be arranged, 6 feet wide, and reaching from the pier level to the sandy bottom below. A ladder will also be fastened to the side of the pier, which can be used in rough weather without danger of staving the tenders.1 The upper hall opens on to a piazza j similar to the one below, which commands a fine view of Winthrop, Grov-I er’s cliff, Broad sound, the Graves, Na-! hant, Lvnn and Swampscott, while at night Minot's light and the lights at 1 Marblehead are plainly visible. Except I in the event of a social or hall. It is the I intention of the directors that this ! piazza should be for the exclusive use of Ladles and their escorts.I The building is a great improvementVicMaCa]slo.VlroffWILL PLAY “COMEDY OF ERRORS.Annual Shakespearean Production by Students of Boston College Preparatory School.The annual Shakespearean production of the Boston college preparatory school will be given In the college hall, James st, tomorrow evening, beginning at 7.45o'clock.The ‘‘Comedy of Errors” is to be presented, and for the past two months the young students have been busily engaged in rehearsing the severaliarty have figured conspicuously In ; other college plays.

It. was a god stroke to get between two covers the famous names,ofcomparatively new to literature, of Evans, Wninwrtght, Eberle-Ciark, Chadwick, Bhtlip, Taylor and Cook. Toadjust the recent lines of Kipling to Evans, these gallant sailormen all are able to doAstonishing things with their pencils,And wonderful things with a jk-u:And on* just as smart in their conning towers, Bossing their sailormen.Tills climax of the Century war series is ndmlrnblv reinforced by the photographs (never were cameras put to more striking use), and engravings lavishly provided for them.
