Zl | whence a slight angle was made over to REGATTA AT LONG BRIDGE, It Was Witnessed by Several | Thousand Lovers of Aquatics. THREE EVENTS WERE PULLED, The First Race Undecided—Caugh- lan Won the Second, and South Ends the Last. | i Several thousand people looked at and | cheered the rowing regatta yesterday. There was hardly standing room left on Long Bridge from one end to the other while on the bay were numerous craft crowded with enthusiastic lovers of aquatic’ sport. | lThc weather was all that could be de- ed. A rather stiff brezze from the south- west kept a steady ripple dancing on the water in the sunshine. The course was a good one. It had been surveyed by a Gov- ernment engineer the day previous, and extended from Long Bridge alone an imaginary line toward Mission Rock, | Pembroke of the Ariels was | Pembroke Sr. a slow third. what distanced. At once the officers’ tu; was invaded by all the boats which coul claim a foul and there were five of them which did so. The Ariels charged the Olympics with failing to go around the | | stakebuoy at ;the turn and the Olympics | retaliated by charging the Ariels with a foul. The judges postponed their decision. Four scullers entered the skiff race as | follows: J. D. Caughlan, Dolphins; Sam- | uel J. Pembroke, Alamedas, and James W. Pembroke and William McCausland, | Ariels. The prize for_ this was a pair of | sculls presented by Al Rogers. | It was soon manifest that McCausland | was “not in it” with the others. Young Fretty well in close to the the lead when going out unti | turn, but Caughlanrounded the stake first and maintained the lead to the finish. He crossed the line in 12:15, with young Pem- broke a little over a length behind, and McCausland. being badly distanced, had pulled out. The last event was the race of four-oared barges for the senior championship, the first prize being a cup presented by ghair- man Jonn L. Mitchell of the regatta com- | mittee of the South End Rowing Club. | This was a_very prett{ u struggle. Six clubs were down for it, but the Olympics and Dolphins did not row. The South Ends were very anxious to pull with the | Dolphins and” had been anticipating its pleasure ever since the match at El Campo on Decoration day, on which occasion the Dolphins promised to berightinit. Stroke Haussler said he had to go to a picnic however, and therefore the Dolphins stnyed out. The Olympics dia not go in for the reason that their only crew was the one which had come home first in the junior contest, and it was both satisfied and tired. The four crews left were the Stocktons, STORM AMONG THESPIANS, T. Daniel Frawley Refuses to Assist at the Actors’ Benefit. ANGRY AT EDMOND HAYES. Resurrection of a Scandal About Blanche Bates and Robert Downlng’s Company. None of T. Daniel Frawley’s company of actors who are now playing at the Colum- bia Theater will appear at the actor's benefit which is to be given at Morosco's on Thursday afternoon. This, Mr, Fraw- ley explains, is not because he is not in sympathy with the movement, but be- cause Edmond Hayes, who was formerly with Robert Downing, but is now doing leading roles at Morosco’s Grand Opera- house, is to take part. Naturally Mr. Frawley’s action has aroused a storm. His fellow Thespians are divided into two parties. Most of them criticize him severely. Others uphold him. THE SOUTH ENDS’ BARGE CROSSING THE LINB. [Sketched for the “Call by Coulter.] the stake buoys in the direction of the | Union Iron Works. Itsentire length was | three-quarters of a mile; so that, going and | coming, with a turn around the buoys, | fully one and a half miles could be cov- ered. This was ghe distance for all the races. All in all, the occasion was successful enough to make the committee feel hope- | ful of its prospects for a regatta on the Fourth of July and do its utmost toward having one inciuded in the programme of the great National holiday. | As a crew from the Stockton Boat Club was to try its muscle in the senior cham- gionship event, that city was represented v a targe delegation. | Among the craft from which the oars- men were viewed the scow Golden Fleece carried the biggest crowd, which consisted mostly of members of the Olympic Club. Captain C. J. Lancaster had the yacht Edna of the California Yacht Club close at hand and Commodore Charles O. Brace of the same club had the canvas of the Rover spread to the breeze. Robert Goble’s Nel- lie, Robert Gibson’s Magic and G. Lee’s Mary were also there. Coachers Charles Long, Jack Dunphy, William Growney and Charles Peterson were in their shells glid- ing hither and thither full of the profes- sional spirit. Between 10 and 11 A. M. President A. J. Fritz and the other officers boarded the tug Lena L at the South End Club’s boat- house and steamed to Long Bridge. Presi- dent Myron A. Whidden of the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association was starter and referee. The other officers were: James McElroy, John T. Sullivan and F. E. Man- chester, timekeepers; John L. Herget, master of ceremonies, and Edward Scully, marshal, the clubs being represented b; the following judges: Stocktons, D. F. Creaner; Acmes, J. J. Hannifin Jr.; St. Mary’s College, John Jaunet; Olympics, John Elliott; Ariels, Joseph G. Myland; Pioneers, William C. Es&)y; Dolphins, A. P. Rothkopp; South Ends, A. H. Mellitz. For the ball in the evening David J. Gor- man was director of dancing. There were only three events, but except the fouling in the first they well deserved the enthusiasm of the onlookers. The first was for the junior crew cham- ionship and the cup offered by the South End Club, seven four-oared barges being entered, as follows: Olympics—F. A. Gorman B. Graham, forwardwaist; Morton, after- waist; R. MacArthur, stroke; T. Gilféather, cockswain. Acmes—James Kenna (captain), bow; Frank Simpson, forwardwaist; Clarence Staples, afterwaist; John W. Bird, stroke; Fritz Denhe, cockswain. g St. Mary's College—William Hanlon (captain), bow; Peter BSoracco, forwardwaist; John Cooney, afterwaist; Hugh Mclsaac, stroke; Maurice Kiely, cockswain. Ariels—Harry Brennan (captain), bow; John Nolan, forwardwaist; George O’Nelll, after- waist; William Howe, stroke; J. Carroll, cock- swain. Dolphins — William Patch (captain), bow; sca‘fitmn), bow; H. Robert Logan, forwardwaist; J. P. Heilbron, afterwaist; J. Bartman, stroke; J. Cronin, cockswain. Pioneers—Fred Michels (captain), bow; F. J. O'Neill, forwardwaist; C. 8. Ochs, afterwaist: Daniel . Fitzsimmons, stroke; Doc Flynn, cockswain. South Ends—W. A. La Chapelle (captain), bow; J. E. Tickett, forwardwaist; D. Connolly, afterwalst; F.La Chapelle, stroke; George Mo- Grill, cockswain. The Olympics were the first to finish the course, but their victory was hotly pro- tested by the Ariels. This race seemed to be a sort of scratch-as-scratch-can affair from start to finish. The barges lined up a little after 11 o’clock, and a very pretty start was made. Then the fouling began. The first to suffer was the South Ends. The Pioneers were in the lead with the South Ends fast pulling up and trying to take adyantage of the tide, when the Pioneers, by Flynn’s steering, took the water of the South Ends just a little beyond the first buoy. From being considerably in the rear the Ariels s‘rnmd forward three places and at- mpted to get ahead of the Olympics by slightly turning and shaving closely the Olympics’ stern. The Olympics had the in- side course, however, and maintained it. The tug bearing the officers did not keep close enough to the rowers, consequently it could not be distinctly seen whether the turn was properly made. From this fact a dispute aiterward arose as to whether the Olymgicu went around their stakebuoy or not. Both Charley Long and Charley Peterson were at the stakebuoys, and the former said the Olympics did dgo around, while the latter averred they did not. A nli%ht collision also occurred at the turn. The South Ends steered or the course of the St. Mary’s crew, and their rudder was agliw by the prow of the latter, which completely disabled the South X¥nds, Thisenabled the St. Mary’s boat to round the turn first, with the Sovth Ends close after them, but it was soon apparent that the latter would have to fall out, and that Coxswain George McGrill would have to make the best shift he could with his demoralized rudder to get home at all. He has steered in twenty races, and yester- {]:y’a, it was said, was the first for him to ose. The Olympics, on the homeward stretch, g:lled away ahead of the St. Mary’s and | Frank F. Butler, stroke (captain); D. Ariels, lows: Stocktons—John Parrott Jr., bow forwardwaist; H. , Pioneers and South Ends, as fol- o ; C. B, Hart, Van ' Meter, afterwaist; D. Tra- hern, coxswain. Ariels—John Larkin, bow (captain); James Wilson, forwardwaist; George Bates, after- waist; Henry Tank, stroke; Wilson, coxswain. Pioneers—Fred Orr, bow (captain); J. Clii- ford, forwardwaist; Shields, afterwaist; George Callopy, stroke; Doc Flynn, coxswain. South Ends—Henry Bode, bow (captain); W. Horslm%ycr, forwardwalst; Gus Carson, after- waist; Frank Duplisses, stroke; George Me- Grill, coxswain. The start was perfect, and all four barges kept in good dress until near the second buoy, when the Ariels commenced to put their bow ahead. Some magnificent strokes with straight steering, though, sent the South Ends well into the lead, the Ariels hugging them close for a few mo- ments, and the Stocktons losing water very badly. The Pioneers gained slightly on the Ariels before the turn. At the turn the South Ends were some lengths ahead, and the Pioneers were beginning to even up with the Ariels, and soon after the torn reached secoud place. They came home in this order, with the Stockions far behind. It could be easily seen that the coxswains of the South Ends and Ariels—the favorite clubs with the crowd—knew their business, though the oars of the Ariels could not do the work of those of the Pioneers. The South Ends crossed the line fully a length ahead of the Pioneers, and there were about two lengths between the Pio- neers and Ariels. The Stocktons were fully five lengths behind the Ariels. The time was 9:59. By this victory the South End seniors are. now entitled to receive a challenge from the University of California to row some time this year. A match will prob- ably be made and rowed on the other side of the bay. . After the regatta there was an attempt to settle the controversy of the juniors. ?z was finally concluded to call a meeting, which will be held in Justice Barry’s room at the City Hall. at 8 p. ». Wedneésday, all the captains being invited to be present. ERAND JURY ON FENDERS, The Civic Federation Likely to Call Upon the Secret Tribunal. Indictments Asked for Against Huntington and Vining For Manslaughter.’ The Civic Federation is formulating plans for a more active campaign against the Market-street Railway Company on the question of suitable fenders for the electric-cars. A committee has beew ap- pointed tokeep after the corporation and see that it complies with the law. A meet- ing to discuss plans of action will be held some evening this week. It has been suggested that a suit in in- junction against the corporation might be brought to prevent it from operating the cars until such time as a “fender that will fend” shall have been devised and at- tached to them. To this the objection has been made that the stopping of the cars would inconvenience the public. Members who favor that mode of procedure claim, however, that the people who are depend- ent_on the electric-cars would be only too glad to put up with some slight incon- venience for the good of the cause, and as no other objections have been raised it is possible that the courts may be asked for a restraining order. There is also among the active members of the federation a strong sentiment in favor of “prodding the Grand Jury” in this matter. Many declare that that body should be asked to return bills of indict- ments for manslaughter against Hunting- ton, Vining and other chief men of the corporation on account of the deaths which have been caused by the electric cars. The position is taken that if the cars had been provided with practical fenders the accidents and the accompany- ing loss of life would have been prevented, and that for that reason the Market-street railways are legally responsible for the deaths. The visability of resenting the matter to the Grand Jury will be taken up and thoroughly discussed in the com- mittee meeting referred to in the foregoin; and a very interesting session is expectedg e The Bunker Hill Celebration. At a meeting of the Bunker Hill Association, held Saturday evening for the purpose’ of per- fecting arrangements for the coming celebra- tion to take place on the 17th inst., Dr. C. O- Brown of the First Congregational Church was selected to deliver the oration. Owing to the press of business the executive committee de- cided to hold two meetings a week in Foresters’ Hall, 102 O'Farrell street, until the day of the celebration. ished an easy first in 10:59 1-5, with the St. ’s & fair second,and the Pioneers a close third.

Moore, Hunt & Co. guarantee its purity, * Manager Friedlander is neutral and as- sures the Actors’ Association that they can have for their benefit anything the Colum- bia Theater can afford, without regard to who is on their programme. Mr. Frawley’s wrath against Mr. Hayes has been smoldering for a long time. It was first actively engendered by an article in the CALL of November 29, 1894, in which was made public the gossip of the company of Robert Downing, with which Mr. Hayes played ‘“‘leading juvenile” roles while it wasin this City. " An interview with Mr, Hayes was printed in the article, and it was that interview wlich aroused T. Dan: iel Frawley’s ire. _“Why, sir,” he said in telling of their differences, “he was willing to sacrifice the good name of a reputable young woman to gain a two-column advertisement. Do you think I would act on the same stage with a man who would deport himself in so unprofessional a way? Never. ‘Do you think I would ask any of the ladies of my company to risk the chance of coming ‘in contact with sacha man? Why, it’s preposterous. I know, too, that all the people of m e wnI;v. P! y gompany feel the *‘As soon as we heard of the actors’ bene- fit we volunteered our services. We in- tended to give our curtain raiser, ‘The Pic- ture.’ The cause is a good one and our hearts were with it. But nothing could induce me to act on the same stage with Edmond Hayes. 4 “Mr. Hayes,” explained Mr. Frawley, stated in the interview to which I referred that in Denver Miss Blanche Bates, who is a self-respecting and highly esteemed mar- ried woman, refused to join with Robert Dowm‘ug’s company unless [ was taken in Hayes’ place. It contained many other covert and uncalled for insinuations. He also said that Mrs. F. M. Bates, the mother of Miss Bates and an aunt of ‘Mrs.,Down- ing, wasa participant in the schemes to have Hayes displaced by me. “Now, these were cowardly and inex- cusable misstatements. Instead of my friends seeking to get me the place, it was offered me without any solicitation on m: part and refused. I refused it becanse{ would have been Eut to the necessity of ex- pending about $2000 for a wardrobe. This - I thought inadvisable since the parts were not such as I usually played in. ““Mr. Hayes has ftried to explain that it was not he who instigated the article. This I consider g mean subterfuge. He is puffed in it all the way through and ever; one else is detracted. "He nas asked thnt{ see him Persunally and let him explain. But ITdon’t want to see him and his ex- planations cannot explain away facts.” Mr. Hayes expresses himself as greatly hurt that he should be accused of trying to hurt the good name of any young woman to advance himself. He also denies that henstigated the article that has so en- raged Mr. Frawley. “'Some weeks aiter Robert Downing left San Francisco,” he said, “‘a reporter came to me and talked about the gossip in Mr. Downing’s company and the reasons why I had left it. I found that he was thor- oughly informed in the matter. When he asked me if such and such things were so I could only answer ‘Yes,’ or say that the things were said to be true. “The matter about Miss Bates and Mr. Frawley was general gossip in the com- any. People came to me and told me to look out for my place, as Mrs. Bates wanted it for Frawley. ’l(hey also spoke of Miss Bates in the same way.” But 1 never talked about it, and, as for trying to get an advertisement out of the business, I never thought of it. ‘I was so entirely innocent in the matter that as soon as I heard that Mr. Frawley was going to withdraw bhis support from the benefit I sent word to him tgac he was misinformed. I asked for a personal meet- ing, promising to show the truth of what I claimed. My messenger was given very harsh answers in return. I fee% sure.” he concluded, “that the profession in general understand my position.”” Mr. Hayes is to iwe the forum scene from “Virginius'’ at the benefit on Thurs- day. He plays the title role. He will be assisted by the following cast: Icilius, H. Coulter Brinker; Agfi)ins Claudius, Frank Armstrong; Caius Claudius, J. F. Mont- serrat; Numatorius, Frank Hatch; Mar- cus, a soldier, J. H. W. Harris; Virginia, Miss Hall; Servia. Miss J. Blanc; fifty supers. The entire junior lodge and most of the members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary are to assist. None of them feel that Mr. Hayes has done anithlng out of the way. . L. Gleason, who is managing the ar- rangements for the benefit, tried to patch up a truce. Heexplained: “I told Tim (you see, ke didn’t use to part his name in the middle, but was_just quin Tim Frawley) that be was making a ool of himself. But he had it in for Hayes and wanted to get even, and he’s going to do it. “The performance won't suffer a_bit. ‘We've got all the best talent in the City, and our programme Will be a seven days’ wonder without Mr. T. Daniel Frawley. Still, I’d rather there were no friction, Mr. Hayes makes a most satisfactory explana- tion, and manfully requested Frawley to meet him. Frawley el used though, and there the matter rests.” Some fear has been expressed lest the uncomplimentary expressions of the two actors should provoke a personal en- counter. Both are young men of splendid physique, and a set-to would be likely to engender the necessity of u: pounds of “make-up” to conceal brui spots and sticking plaster. There has been no in- fraction of the peace up to date. THE FALL OF MAN, Henry Varley Says That the Belief in the Theory of Evolution Is Dying Out. | Henry Varley in his talk to young men yesterday afternoon at the auditorium of the Young Men’s Christian Association took for his subject “The Fall of Man. Is it fact or fable—which?” Mr. Varley is at times discursive in his talk, but when he does wander from his subject generally has something striking to say. Yesterday he took occasion to speak of cigarette photographs. “I am sfire your tobacco shops are as vile as Hell itself with their obscene publications, their photographs and indecent pictures. I should, if I had the power, give these vil- lains six months’ imprisonment with hard labor.” Before he began his regular address he announced that he would go over to Oak- land for a few days to join his friends, Simpson and Merritt, in their meetings, and in about a week return to this City to hold meetings of his own. “I hope to get some public hall,” he | said. “There is a tremendous opposition on the part of a large mass of the people to going into any church.” e Speaking of the D.D. after ministers’ names he saide “Be careful you don’t get a Rey. before your name. If you have not the power all the D.D's. the devil could give you would not_help you. There are few who have D.D. ugter their names in this country who are at all entitled toit as far as education goes.” Mr. Varley graphically pictured the scenes in the Garden of Eden, of the fall of man, and said that this was the most un- answerable argument against the theories of evolution. “I am glad to say that in England and Germany among the best class of thinkers the evolution %craze is be- ginning to subside,” he said, ‘‘and will soon be ome of the nine days’ wonders of the past.” ——————— IN THE PLAYHOURES. The Attractive Features at the City Theaters To-Night.

Polygamy Is Not Now Indorsed by the Church — Belief In Resurrection. The principles and articles of faith upon which the church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, familiarly known as the “Mor- mon” church, \were expounded by Elder H. 8. Tanner at St, George’s Hall, 909 Mar- | ket street, last evening. i Elder Tanner is president of the Califor- | nia Mission of the church and has been | here since last August. Since his arrival | be has succeeded in building up quite a | flourishing local colony in behalf of the church which he represents. The first services were held at 29 Eleventh street, and then the quarters were located at 927 Mission street. As the congregation grew in numbers it | was found necessary to have more commo- dious quarters, and the move was made to 909 Market street. The first services were held yesterday, and the new hall was crowded. There are seventy-five members of the congregation, but there were many otp‘er attendants drawn thither by curi- osity. In the morning at _10:30 o’clock the Sunday-school was called together with in the afternoon and at 7 in the evening the regular services were held. i “What is Mormonism ?’ was the subject of the elder's evening sermon. He began by explaining where the name of Mormon came from. The name as applied to the church was a misnomer. It was not the name of the church, but the members be- lieved in the book of Mormon, which they hold was the work of a man named Mor- mon, who lived on this continent 1500 years | ago. The speaker contented himself with stating his belief in Mormon and his book and then proceeded to enlighten such of his hearers as were not already enlight- ened as to the articles of faith of the Mor- mon church. 3 “The Church of Latter-day Saints was organized in Fayette, Seneca County, N. Y., April 6, 1830. " 1t was called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in or- der to distinguish it from the earli(;hn_s- tian Church founded by Jesus Christ in I will read our articles of Jerusalem. faith.” The speaker then read as follows: We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. We believe that men will be punished for their own sinsand not for Adam’s transgres- sion. We believe that through the atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved by obedience | to the laws and ordinances of the gospel. | We believe that these ordinances are: First, | faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, repent- ance; third, baptism by immersion for the re- mission of sins; fourth, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. We believe that 8 man must be called of Gnd; by “prophecy, and by the laying on of hands,” by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer the ordinances thereof. We believe in the same organization that prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc. ‘We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. ; We believe the Bible to be the Word of God. as far as it is translated correctly; we also be- lieve the Book of Mormou to bo' the Word of od. We believe all that God has revealed, all that he does now reveal, and we believe that he will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the kingdom of God., We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the ten tribes. That Zion will be buiit upon the continent. That Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and re- Geive its paradisical glory. BWe claim the privilege of worshiping Al- mighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privi- lege, let them worship how, where or what they may. We beliéve in being subject to kings, presi- | dents, rulers and magisirates, in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul.” “We believe all things; we hope all things”; we have endured many things and hope to be able to endure all things. If thereis anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy,we seek after these things. Joserm SxrTa. The elder proceeded to elaborate and ex- plain the articles. In conclusion he spoke regarding polygamy. *1t is not and never was practised to such a great extent in the church asis commonly believed,” he said. “Now it is not sanctioned at all becausa of the procla- mation of four years ago. Our church counsels its members not to practice it, and enjoins them to obey the laws of the country. When the law was passed the subject was submitted to a congregation of 12,000 people in Salt Lake City. It was unanimously decided to sustain the law, and since we have respected it. “‘As to the resurrection which we believe in, we hold that when the earth receives its paradisical glory the saints will be resurrected at the coming of the Savior, and all worthy dead will be resurrected and will dwell 1000 years in a reign of right- eousness. After that period has elapsed, all the dead who have not been resur- rected will be judged according to_their works in their earthly career. believe in any eternal damnation. Each one will be judged according to his merits.” In speaking of the work which has been accomplished thus far, Elder Tanner said that he was very much encouraged. If the interest kept on growing, within a few months steps would be taken toward build- ing a church in some portion of the City. Mr. Tormey’s Denial. Henry Tormey says that the use of his name | as a broker in charge of the adjustment of the Blythe claims was unwarranted. ——— Napoleon’s mother was as much of a sol- dier as her great son. On one occasion, when he wanted his own way she gave him to understand that the first duty of a sol- dier was obedience, and that if he wished to be a soldier he must, first of all things, learn to obey. He had to the end of his life the highest regard for his mother. At his court she was styled ‘“‘Madame Mere.” Speaking of the influence of the mother on the character of the child he said, ““The future destiny of the child is always the work of the mother.” NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
