Sales. ey r——— The usual gpring auetion business is now over and the leading dealers are busy | cleaning up accumulated details. One feature of these auction sales was manifest to all, and that was that it is not a year in which to sell undesirable or unproductive property, no matter whether the property has indifferent improvements or those of | a substantial character. A few efforts to sell property of this kind have failed ut- | terly, as the peopie who are in the market to invest are seeking either bargains or | cheap property, which it is safe to predict will rapidly enhance in vaiue. Real estate men are no longer appre- hensive that business is gomg tobe worse, and now as they stand near the threshold | of the last half of the year, they look back | and say: “The first 5ix months of 1895 | will mark considerable improvement.” One of the reasons of therecent quietness | was a financial one.

FOR BUNKER HILL T0-DAY, | Celebration of the Battle Anni- versary tc Be Held at Glenwood. Salutes Will Be Fired at the Army Posts and Flags Displayed in This City. One hundred and nineteen years ago to- day one of the most important battles of the American Revolution was fought on a little hill just outside of Boston. It was the battle of Bunker Hill. In this City and vicinity the anniversary | will be fittingly observed. D. T. Sullivan, Chief of the Fire Department, has ordered flags displayed from every engine-house in the City, and General Forsyth, co: mander of the Department of California, United States army, has decreed that at the Presidio and every military station around the harbor salutes shall be fired with fitting ceremony. { "Tn honor of the day the Bunker Hill Association will hold 2 grand celebration at Glenwood Park. Two special trains will run down this morninE, and so great has been the demand for tickets that the trains cannot accommodate the delegation from | 8an Jose, and therefore will make no stop at that city. At 2 o’clock this afternoon literary ex- creises will be held in the pavilion at Glen- wood Park. Joaquin Miller will read one | of his own poems, and patriotic addresses { will be elivered by Rev. C. O. Brown and Professor Ebenezer Knowlton of this City and by Rev. Mrs. Wilkes of Oakland. The entire literary programme is as follows: Overture, grand medley of patriotic airs, orchestre; prayer, Rev. T. J. Lacy of St. Luke's, cha]})llm of the day; opening remarks, William G.

A majority of the sales of realty made in this City are made sub- ject to mortgage, the seller asking for cash, while the buyer turns to the bank to fur- nish him with from one-third to a half of the purchase price.

In a few days the Post and Kearny street frontages of the clothing store of Roos Bros. will be one continuousshow windoy. The changes necessary to accomglish this, now being made, will cost over Jacob Heyman, the owner of Boulevard block No. 772, has just finished a house of eight rooms on the east side of Forty- eighth avenue, south of J street, about 200 feet from the ocean boulevard. It was built for William Gerke, who will use the upper portion as a residence and the lower Enrt as a bxcgcle retreat. As this is the rst house to be erected on the south side of the Park in that direction, it wilk stand as a landmark in years to come. At acost of $10,000a cafe restaurant is being fitted up in the basement of the Phe- lan building at_the gore. In the figors, wainscoting and stairs are used quantities of Inyo marble, while the finishing is of oak and white cedar, ornamented with mirrors. Under the mass of electric lights its novel features present a very attractive appearance. (Gus Schwarz and Adolph Bath, the proprietors, have spared no amount of money to makc‘_lt one of the leading restaurants of the City, 1t is reported that $45,000 will be spent in building improyements at the southeast corner of Vallejo and Gough streets, com- prising six dwe{lings on Gough and one on Vallejo street. Fifteen houses are in course of construe- tion on the block recently sold by Shain- wald, Buckbee & Co., between Twenty-first and Twenty-second and York street and Bryant avenue. Adjoining St. Teresa’s Church, on the corner of Butte and Tennessee streets, a new clergy house is to be erected. On the Yot next to the Star of the Sea Church_building, on Eighth avenue, be- tween Point Lobos avenue and Clement street, a parochial school will be built by Father Coyle. A person who has not vis- ited Richmond for the last few months would scarcely recognize the place, so steadily has the building gone on in that portion of the City. The popularity” of the Langham Hotel, on the corner of Mason and Eilis streets, is to be increased in four weeks, as by that time a new direct electric elevator and other costly improvements will be made. There are several other large buildings in this City, notably the Safe Devosit and Flood building, which are undergoing im- provements that will have greatnfluence 1n keeping them well rented. RECENT SALES. Among recent sales by the Syndicate In- vestment Company are eleven transfers amounting to $11,255. More than 100 houses have been erected by purchasers. The land of this company, comprising 60,- 000 acres, is known as the Kancho de Novato of Marin County. It is but twenty- six miles from San Francisco by the Dona- hue railroad, and in may particulars is un- excelled. Itis being sold off in from 200 to 500 acre tracts upon very reasonable terms, O’Farrell & Co. report sales as follows: ‘West line of Devisadero street, running from Geary to Garden avenue, taking in two cor- ners, lot 125x100, improvements drugstore, five dwellings and four flats, for $45,000; south line of Sutter street, near Octavis, three mod- ern flats and Jot 27:6x120 for $13,000; three two-story houses of six and seven rooms and bath each on Eddy street, near Scott, lot 50x 187:6, $7200: three flats on Haight street, near Scott, lot 25x137:6, $5800; two-story house on Bowie avenue, near Eleventh street, lot 22:6x70, $2400; lot 25x100 on Mission street, between Francis and Croke, $1200; lot 25x120 on the east line of Twelithavenue, be- tween H and I streets, $900; in the block at the terminus of the Mission-sireet cars on the Mission road, between Francis and Croke stree thirt; ven lots, at prices ranging from $400 to $550.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. The annual report of the Capital Build- ing and Loan Association submitted last ‘Wednesday evening shows the association to be in a prosperous condition. The net profit for the year apportioned to shares was $8508 29, the amount of mortgage 5 ar $19,900 and the assets are L. R. Ellert, ent; 8. C. Buckbee, vice-president; lerman Shainwald, treasurer; W. . Davis, secretary; directors—L. R. Eilert, H. A. Jones, H. W. Ball, J. D. Maxwell, H. Shainwald, S. C. Buckbee, Lq Green- berg and J. Figel. T%xe Pacific Loan Association has ma- tured its first series, which required a pe- riod of 127 months. There are $60,000 in mortgages to be released, as the borrowers have paid for their homes. Upon the 850 free shares of $200 per share $170,000 are to be paid out. The secretary, Leon Den- nery, reports that numerous loans have been paid off and that the delinquents are paying up more promptly than usual. Bovee, Toy & Co. have been especially fortunate in listing some of the most choice investmentand speculative proposi- tions in county lands ever oflereir in the real estate market. Among those which will be sold off in tracts to suit purchasers is the well-known McMahon ranch of several thousand acres in Solano and Yolo counties, a part of what is known as the Woliskill grant. Other well-known lands recently placed in the hands of this firm are: the Bidwell ranch at Chico, the J. S, Cone lands, which extend from the cele- brated Vina ranch of the Stanford estate to Mill Creex, and the Adams ranch on Cache Creek, Yolo County. Besides these special properties the list of country lands of this firm comprises notable propertiesin almost every county of the State. Mr. To: says his firm_ proposes to extensively ad- vertise these lands in the Eastern States, and he does not expect to be repulsed with the claim that California lands are too high, when he can offer good alfalfa lands in Fresno County with water right and good buildings and fences at $30 per acre; good rolling unimproved lands as low as $3 50 an acre; and as rich land as ever a man owned adjoining the Vina ranch for $25 an acre. I'rom the data secured from the country department of this firm it would appear that the large landed proprietors of the in- terior of the State bayve at last come down to_figures low enough to encourage i migration and advance the general in- terests of the State. 1. Coward, formerly of Woodland, has en charge of the country depart- meunt of Bovee, Toy & Co., and associated with him will be Charles Gregory, recently with Easton, Eldridge & Co. A feature of the camlofiue of country lands offered by Thomas McMahon at 628 Market street is an exchange list of small desirable ranches in_the various counties surrounding San Francisco. Mr. Mec- Mahon reports that what purchases are made of country lJandsare by home people, and privcipally” by shrewd ‘investors, who realize that now is the time to buy in view of the certain advancein country values soon to follow. A road is being constructed by the Gov- ernment along ghe southern boundary of the Presidio military reservation from First avenue to the lake at the Marine Hospital, then winding over the hills to McDowell avenue, leading to the high bluifs overlooking the ocean. This im- provement will necessitate the construc- tion of a bridge across Mountain Lake, A. E. Buckman is under contract to complete the work in sixty days, and when finished it promises to be a beautiful drive the like of which San Francisco should have more to boast. ADDRERS BY MRS. COOPER, An Interesting Programme at a Gather- ing of the Epworth League. The auditorium of the Simpson Me- morial Methodist Church was weéll filled last evening by the members and friends of the Epworth League. The announce- ment of the affair included an invitation to the public, and in order that the oc- casion might be made uncommonly nota- ble the usual Sunday evening service was d'flm"“d with. Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper delivered an in- teresting and instructiVe address, “The Discipline of Suffering,”” in which she ex- plained that the law of conflict is the law of life and that trust in divine wisdom shiould serve to counteract the tribulations in human life. Mrs. Nellie Holbrook-Blinn rendered a patriotic bit of verse, and with songs and an earnest address by Rev. Dr. Hirst the programme was completed. —————— The coins of Siam are made of porcelain; those of Japan are made principally of iren. THE COMING TURN FEST. Local Turner Societies Are All Ready for the Los Angeles Event. LIVELY INTEREST AROUSED. e ‘The Mission Verein Will Send Twelve Men and the Vorwaerts Six- teen Contestants. If the members of the Pacific Coast Turners’ societies who will participate in the grand Kreis Turn Fest, wiich opens in Los Angeles on the 22d inst. and lasts until the 27th, are as enthusiastic in pre- paring for the affair as are our local Turn vereins, the event in the southern city will be the most successful of any of its kind ever held in the West. In local Turners’ circles the celebration has been talked of for months past, and the classes of the four City vereins which will participate have been hard at work training for the exercises. Rivalry for the valuable trophies and prizes is going to be keen, and no outcome can be fairly pre- dicted for any of the events, asthe ma- jority of the eighty-four Turners who will go from this City are young men who have not participated in any big festival before. They are, though, according to their in- structors, all men of promise.

The members held their last prac- tice lesson yesterday at the Seaside Gar- dens, Harbor View, under their instructor, Albert Binse, and First Leader John C. Plato. There was hardly a hitch in their efforts and the athletes are more than con- vinced that they will carry off some of the top-notch prize: esides the self-consciousness that they are in fine condition for competition, the members will be stimulated to use their very best efforts by the fact that their lady friends have put them on their meitie as it were. The Turner Schwestern Verein is the ladies auxiliary of the club, and sev- eral days ago the Iair ones presented the Turn-fest delegation with a waite sili ban- ner at the hall, corner of Eighteenth and Lapidge streets, and at the same time ex- pressed the hope that the contestants | would reflect credit upon their handsome emblem by performing unusual feats. this account each member will feel like a knight of old upon entering the tourna- ment lists with his “fair lady’s’ token floating from his helmet. The members of the Mission Verein will leave this city on Friday evening by special train. On their return they will be ten- dered a grand reception by the verein. Follewing are those who will compose the delegation: Instructor, Albert Binse; first leader, John C. Plato; John Vermehren, William Messerth, Julius Iarms, William Meyer, M. Oechsle, Thomsas Steen, Oscar Carson, Fred Wagner, Williem Barth, Alexanaer Huck. The Vorwaerts Verein has chosen six- teen men to represent it at the festival, and the hope of winning prizes runs high in the breasts of the men of muscle and skill who have been practicing under the care of their instructor, Hermann Ritter, and First Leader M. Lehmann in their hall on O'Farrell street, near Mason. Although Instructor Ritter has not been with the verein many months he has become very opular among his pupils, and has intro- guced new features in their work which have been appreciated. Some of the delegation which goes south are specialists in their respective lines. Mr. Lehmann is looked upon as their fenc- ing champion, and is also a fine declaimer. Inthe swimming contests which will be held when the excursion to Santa Catalina Islands is made from Los Angeles on the day before the great festival closes, the Vorwaerts are_confident that their cham- pion, Gustave Palanca, will easily carry off the first prize. He is a young man, but has made quite a record for himselfin the ast. 2 The contestants from the Vorwaerts will be as follow: Instructor, Herman Rieter; first leader, M. Lehmann; W. F. Baker, N."J. Frankenberg, W. Kaiser, August Brockstadt, A. Sommer, H. Gruende], G. Palanca, H. Radloff, A. Hammer- smith, F. Dohrman, F. Rothschild, A. Little- wood, E. Tietze, W. Bolaefeldt. The Vorwaerts men will go south on the steamer Santa Rosa in company with the San Francisco Verein and arrangements have been made to have a royal good time on the trip. FEW RIFLE CRACKS OUT, Very Few Competitions at the Milltary Ranges Across the Bay. Close Match Between a Quartet of Artillerymen--Some Minor Contests. The season of military encampments is now well on and rifle practice at the bay ranges has quieted down considerably. This was quite noticeable at Shell Mound yesterday. Compared with the usual large attendance of riflemen the gathering was numerically insignificant. Some in- teresting work was done, however, by the marksmen who spent the day at the tar- gets, albeit a strong wind swept across the range during the entire afternoon. The Second Artillery was represented by a few members of Battery C, who had been pre- vented from accompanying the regiment to Ukish on Saturday. A match was ar- ranged with M. Sheehan and L. Ringen as one of the teams and C. Viebrock and H. Mangels on the opposing side. The firing was done with Springfields, in ten shote at 200 yards. The contest was close and ex- citing from the start, and until the last few shots were fired there was little chance On | Instructor Mission Turn Verein. PHELAN BUILDING.

He had not left, I believe, on altogether good terms with the manage- |ment, so the audience vented its spleen upon his successor.
