THE ROVER WINS A RACE First Regatta of the Season of the California Yacht Club. THE FLASH FINISHED FIRST. A Prize Which Was Hardly Won, Arrival of the Rithet Under Full Sail. The annunal regatta of the California Yacht Club was sailed yesterday, and Com- modore Bruce’s yacht Rover won the race. She came in first in her class, but the speedy little Flash took the first prize on time allowance, beating her old rival, the ‘Whirlwind, clean out of sight. There were three classes of boats in the race, a prize being offered for each class, and a special prize was hung up for the boat making the fastest time over the | | course. The regatta was run under the Seawanhaka rules, and for that reason the Flash won, aithough by actual time the Rover was entitled to the race. The course was a triangular one, run- ning from an imaginary line extending afternoon there would have been a chance for some good work. But there was noop- portunity to set a spinnaker, and the Edna, Seven Bells and the Rover were de- nied the chance to show themselves at their best. ON THE DUMPS. Members of the Woman's Visit the Place. Mainly at the instance of Mrs. Rose M. French of the Union for Practical Progress of this City a committee of twenty ladies from the Woman’s Congress, occompanied by several gentlemen, visited the Seventh- street City dumps Saturday. The ladies declared that the dumps of this City are far worse than anything they had ever before witnessed. ‘Within the past few days water has been turned on from somewhere and many of the miserable homes on the dumps are afloat. The inhabitants of this settlement range in years from 12 to 70. They all spoke in the kindest terms of the gentle- man who owns the lumber-yard and mills adjoining their town. He permitted them tolive on his land and furnished them ‘water free of charge. £ Monday a_committee of ladies, accom- anied by Miss Anthony and Miss Anna gnaw, will again visit the dumps, and Miss Shaw will be asked to deliver a lecture on what she sees there. e THE MACQINTOSH ROBBERY. Conclusive Evidence Found Against George Ross. George Ross, one of the four men ar- rested here last Monday on suspicion of committing the robberies in Garrett & Congress THE BARK R. from the southerly pierhead of the narrow- gauge mole out to the most westerly breasting buoy to Blossom Rock buoy, thence to and around a stakeboat three miles to the southeast and home again across the line of starting. The Whirlwind, in command of Admiral von Schmidt, barefooted and bareheaded, was the first to'get away, skimming across the line before the starting gun was fired. The judges yelled to the admiral to go back, but the doughty sailor paid no heed to the warning and kept on his course. On the Whirlwind’s heels came the little Flash; then the Major and Hazel went by with a good southwesterly breeze on_their beam. The Flash was after the Whirl- wind, and she made almost a clean leg of it down to the rock. The admiral was hugging the buoy and the Flash was on his quarter to the windward. The Iugger Wns%lnnketed and the Flash sped away to the southeast, leaving her rival far behind. In class B the Hope got nwai first with the Xara and Stranger close behind. The Surprise was late in joining the procession. and she failed to make good her dflfila'l around the course, finishing last of in the race. In the class of the big boats the Rover was the first to cross the starting line. Commodore Bruce and his red-shirted crew were all in readiness and impatient for the start. The second leg of the course was-alon the City front, and as the yachts wen down the line in a bunch they were joined by the bark R. P. Rithet just coming in from Honolulu. The bark sailed into port with every sail set and she made a most beautiful ‘marine picture with the yachts g}x;onped about her. Interest waslostin the yacht race while the iron bark tossed the water up in front of her bows as she bowled along past the City front. Tbe first yacht to cross the finish line was the Flash and she made a beautiful wind ug. A calm streak struck the yachts on the last leg and as the Flash pe along it was thought that she would have to make a tack to go over the line, She held up steadily, however, and went by the pierhead with every bit of canvas set and then came about” like a top, and went back to meet the Whirlwind. Admiral von Schmidt’s lugger came next, and then came the Rover and the Major nose and nose, but the latter went over the line first. The two yachts made the prettiest finish of the day, stayin, together all throufih the stretch on the las leg. When the Rover slid across the line it was thought by those on shore that she was the winner of the race, but when it came to be reckoned that she had given the Flash thirteen minutes’ time allowance, it was easily reasoned that the Flash had won the day. The judges were Horace H. The president and members of the Board of Ed- ucation and General Warfleld will ect as judges. A match ccn twenty-one members of Company Naval Battalion and twenty- one from Com unz D of the First Infantry, N. G. C., was shot ut Shell Mound shooting-range yesterday afternoon.

Dr. George Gross, Visiting Physi- clan, Chosen for the Four- teenth Time. le The election of physicians for the French Mutual Benevolent Society was held yes- terday at the office of the society, 318 Post street. The polls were opened from 2 to 5 P. M., and although there was a contest for only one of the three offices to be filled there was an unusually large vote cast. The candidates were Dr.J. D.de Chan- treau of the faculty of Paris, who was un- opposed for the office of visiting pbysician to the French Hospital, Dr. K. Pischl of the faculty of Innsbruck, Austria, who was also unopposed for the position of oculist and aurist, and Dr. George Gross of the faculty of Strasbourg and Dr. F., Bazan of the faculty of Paris,who were candidates for the position of visiting phy- P.

MacIntosh, McAllister and Leavenworth streets, was brought from Oakland yesterday to the City Prison and will be charged with the MacIntosh robbery. His brother, Walter, has already been charged with the robbery, having been identified by two witnesses besides MacIntosh, . ‘When the four men were searched in the City Prison here last Monday by the Oak- land officers and Detective Dan Coffey it was thought that it had been complete. They were taken to Oakland and Chief Schaffer ordered that they should be again searched. The result showed the sagacity of the Chief. Sewed in the lining of George Ross’ trousers, close to the right-hand pocket, were found the two diamonds which were taken from MacIntosh, alon with the $70, at_the time he was robbed. This was considered conclusive evidence against George, so he was delivered up by the Oakland police yesterdug and brought across the bay by Detective Coffey. WRECK OF THE CYCLON The Small Sloop Which Was to Go Around the World Is Lost. Puzzling Weather on the Front. Race Between the Athlete and Governor Perkins. The news was received from Monterey last evening that the little sloop Cyclone, which left here & short time ago, bound on a voyage to Japan and eventually around the globe, was wrecked last Thursday at Point Sur, where the steamer Los Angeles ‘was lost. Accounts are meager concerning the loss of the odd little craft, but it is reported that she drifted ashore in the dense fog that prevailed and went to pieces. Shehad aboard the captain, his wife, a cabin-boy and three sailors, who are supposed to have reached the Point Sur lighthouse in safety. Yesterday on the water front was a day to puzzle the thermometer and lead the barometer far astray. The morning 6pened warm and cloudy, with only a light breeze to wrinkle the bay and makelittle spiashes against the sides of the yachts awaiiing to get under way. At noon the overcast sky was gone and the sun shining, but near evening the clouds came back, and the day ended in mist, threatening rain. The promise of rain postponed the pic- nics, and the would-be visitors to the country went to the park and Cliff or stayed at home. £ The steamer Excelsior sailed yesterday for the mouth of the Yukon River, where she will take aboard sixty miners and pro- ceed about 2000 miles up the stream. Sev- eral sengers—namely: H. Turner, J. J. ‘White, F. L. Bates, J. W. Donovan, Mrs, J. J. Healy and Mrs. W. C. Yates—will make the round trip in the vessel, which will return to this port Beptember 1. The stern-wheel steamer Aurora broke her shaft up the Sacramento River Satur- day and_was towed to this city by the steamer Pride of the River. ‘While the quarantine steamer Governor Perkins was on the bay yesterday engaged in her usual boarding work she was spoken by the naphtha launch Athlete, C?tam storge A. Knight. The skipper of the launch, Captain McFarland, was told that it was gasoline versus steam, and he was challenged for a race. The steamer opened her throttle, and the plucky little launch swallowed a few gallons of naphtha and then propellers were soon churning the bay into volumes of foam. From near Goat Tsland they started and held thetr course toward Alcatraz, both vessels doing their best, the Athlete more than holdin, her own against her big antagonist nns kicking a %‘:m into_the eyesof the State oraft. Skipper Knight intends to change his propeller, and then will race everything, large or small, on the bay. “Call™ by Coulter.] l sician to members of the society, at their homes. Dr. Gross has served in that position for thirteen years, and he is the one who, ata meeting held last month, made a motion having for its purpose the granting of the right to vote to the female members of the | association. Some of the members made | a personal and vigorous fight against Dr. | Gross, but for what reason does not appe: | on the surtace, and worked hard for Dr. | Bazan, who_entered the contest with a | great deal of spirit. Both candidates had | their friends at the polls, and those in | favor of Dr. Gross urged the fact that his service to the society having been such | that no complaint had been made he was entitled to re-election. The election was conducted very guietly, and when the polls were closed it was dis- coyered that 631 votes had been polled. Of this number eight were blank. It was nec- essary that, to secure an election, the suc- cessful candidates should receive 311 votes. Dr. de Chantreau_ received 548 and Dr. Pischl 615; while Dr. Gross received 367, his opponent Dr. Bazan received but 248; consequently the first three named were declared elected. Dr. George Gross, who has fourteen times been elected the society’s physician, is an Alsatian, and at the time of the Dr. George Gross. [From an engraving.] breaking out of the Franco-Prussian war was a student at Strasbourg. He with others entered a volunteer corps to assist the sick and wounded on the field of battle, but after being in the service for somec time was taken sick and was returned to Strasbourg. BSubsequently he joined the First Marching Legion of Alsace and Lor- raine and was assigned to the medical staff. For his services during the war the French Society to aid the wounded and sick presented Dr. Gross with a diploma and bronze cross in recognition of his de- voted services in the ambulance corps from Strasbourg to Hagenau. Subse- quently he went to Paris, and in 1874 came to 8an Francisco. The following year he was elected physician of the French So- ciety. To-day he enters upon his ninth consecutive year of service. the other five years being at different periods. Al the election he was warmly con- gratulated by his friends and by a number of those who voted against him and who declared that they were pleased to see that he is so popular. ———————— HE WAS TIRED OF LIFE. Louis Hirschberg Swallows a Dose of Arsenic. Louis Hirschberg left his home, 715 Eighteenth street, last Friday morniug. That night he engaged a8 room in the Ven- dome lodging house, 1104 Market street. Nothing more was seen or heard of him till yesterday morning, when his heavy breathing attracted the landlady’s atten. tion. Shelentered his room and found him in bed in a semi-conscious condition. In answer to herinquiry he said he had taken arsenic. The g:trol wagon was summoned and Hirschberg was driven to the Receivin Hospital. Dr. Deane used the stomac! gum%, but it was s%g:redt that Hirsch- erg had fasted since idady ni%ht. The chances of his reoovex;y are doubtful. In his room was found a revolver with every chamber loaded and a letter ad- dressed to his wife. The letter was sent to her and she called at the hospital to see him. She said the letter stated that owing to broken health and the want of employ- ment he was tired of life, and bade her ood-by. .She said he was a_ saloon- fieepar at one time, but had not been do- ing anything for months. He never talked of committing suicide. THE CALIFORNIA MINERS. They Will Soon Hold a Convention to Fight the Railway Com- pany. A committee convention of the California Miners’ Association will be held in the Palace Hotel June 6. The purpose of the convention is to adopt measures which shall be effectual in preventing the South- ern Pacific and other railway companies from acquiring mineral land grants in the State and to compel the Southern Pacific Company to give up such of its grants as may be determined to be mineral grants by the United States Commissioners.

HELD DOWN BY A ROPE, A Close Call for Andy Thorn of the Yacht Seven Bells. Narrow Escape of a Resculng Party Near Goat Island at Early Morialng. TFour of the sailors of the California Yacht Club came near finding an anchor- age at the bottom of the bay yesterday morning off Goat Island. Jack Horner and another yachtsman, of the Stranger, started to shift ballast from the Stranger to the Sultana at 2 o’clock in the morning. The two young salts put 300 pounds of lead into the Stranger’s dingy and pushed off for the Sultana. They had hardly rowed 100 feet when the boat capsized and the two men were thrown into the water. Their cries for help reached the Seven Bells and Andy Thorn and Jack Sherry jumped into a small boat and vulled for the shipwrecked mariners. Horner and his friend were ulled into the Seven Bells’ boat and the fnmr set in toward the shore. Just how the accident occurred nobody seems to know, but when the dingy was unger the lee of the magazine wharf she turned over and landed the four men in the water. The painter got tangled about Thorn’s legs and pulled him under. He struck out for the wharf and managed to clutch a ¥ile, to which he hung for grim death. The others fortunately were good swimmers, and all reached the shore. Jack Sherry got a bowline under Thorn’s arms and moored him to the pile while Horner and his friend went for help. The line about Thorn’s legs was cut, and Thorn was hoisted to the whart. His legs, hands, face and body were badly cut. buf he had pluck enough left in him to sail in yeat:erdly’s regatta. The Sultana did not enter. ———————— Lee Fairchild’s Lecture. There will be music, song and a bushel of fun at Metropolitan Temple to-night.

It is said that Mahoney was subject to fits and fell while suffering from one that came upon him while on the stairs. BiLL Nye was last seen smiling behind Almighty-dollar Cigar.
