THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 1895. INVADE: CAMP FOSTER Excursionists Visit the Tented City of the Second. OFFICERS AT A DANCE. Men of the Ranks Are Given Another Taste of Ukiah’s Hospitality. MEET IN A SHAM BATTLE. Desperate Contest Waged Between the First and Second Bat~ talions. o9 UKIAH, Car, June 22.—Camp Foster to-day was thronged with visitors and so was the town of Ukiah, as an excursion train of twelve cars brought visitors from all stations from San Francisco north. The ball tendered last night to the of- ficers of the regiment was a grand affair. Colonel Macdonald, with Mrs. Senator Seawell, headed the grand march, which was an imposing sight under the electric lights. The gay uniforms of the officers, mingled with the pretty dresses of the ladies, made a beautiful picture as they glided through the lancers in the mazy waltz. Every one enjoyed himself, and the officers are loud in their praises of Ukiah's hospitable en- tertainment and of the manner in which the ball passed off. To-day the last dress parade occurred. To-night is the last night in camp, as to- morrow tents will be struck and the boys of the file and officers of the line will leave at 2 o’clock P. M. for a breath of sea breeze at the bay. It was hot to-day for Ukiah, hotter for those from cooler climates and hottest of all for those who tip the scales at 200 pounds and over. But that is the weather that ripens the gramn and the fruit and the hops, and the Ukiah citizens would not change it, even for the regular army. The members of the band had a shoot to- day on the basis of a possible 50. The scores were as follows: Menke 39, Strappel 39, Dibbin 36, Mercer 34, Delano 29, Sam- uels 29, Fisher 28, Smith 27, Specht 26, Anthur 17, Wagstaff 16, Foster 15. The skirmish shoot this morning wound up in an impromptu sham-battle that en- thused more men, perhaps, than anything that has happened in the regiment since its organizatian. The First Battalion went out for its reg- ular morning shoot, and it occurred to the Becond Battalion that it would be a good thing to surprise them,and so Captain Boxton, in command of three companies of the Second Battalion proceeded to an advantageous point in among the woods, the rolling ground and the ravines. The project was ‘““tipped off” in time to Major Waters and Lieutenant Kuhls hurried off after an increase of ammunition. When the second was about to intrench itself, Captain Cunningham, with a com- pany of men screened behind a fence, opened an ambush fire. Captain Boxton called up his reserves and drove the am- bushers back. Cunningbam then called in his reservesand, by a deploy move- ments, attempted to flank the enemy. The engagement was a pretty one, and the men of the respective sides wax feelingly warm as to who are the real victors. There are many ifs indulged, in assum- ing what might have been done or would have been done if the engagement had been real. It is said that next to the great sham battle at Santa Cruz, this impromptu battle of the Second is the best that has taken place in the militia. Brigadier-General Warfield and staff wit- nessed the review and dress parade in camp to-day. The brigade staff pres- ent to-day were: Lieutenant-Colonel J. G. Giesting, Major H. Hosmer, Major Fred Hollis, Major H. Halstead, Captain T. L. Napthaly, Captain H. T. Sime and Major C. H. Evans. Celonel Sanborn of the Governor's staff, Major L. W. Juilliard of the Fifth, 8am Meyer, organist of Grace Church and an ex-colonel, Captain Dun- can and Lieutenant-Cojonel J. C. O’Connor of the Third arrived to-day and are guests at.the camp. Thirteen guns were fired in honor of the Brigadier-General and staff. The athletic exercises that were un- finished business on Wednesday last were concluded on the camp grounds to-day. Battery F had the first three men 1n the pole vault—Turton, O’Connor and Crook— making a total of nine for F. The running broad jump resulted: Crook, F, 16 feet 614 inches; O’Conner, F, 15 feet 1114 inches, Alexander, E, 15 feet 9 inches; 8 points for F and 1 for E. Putting sixteen-pound shot—Crook, F, 81 feet 1}ginches, Maher, H, 29 feet 214 inches, O’Conner, F, 27 feet 10 inches; 6 for F and 3 for H. The relay race went by default to F. The hurdle, 220 yards, netted F 9 points; B. H. Hawks, F, first, Budd Hawks, F, second, C. M. Keating, F, third. The score of Wednesday stood: F 30, H 13. G 2. Battery F is an easy winner, scoring a total of 67 points out of a possi- ble 86. Lieutenant Parsons, the acting paymas- ter of the regiment, has been a very busy man all day, adjusting accounts and pay- ing bills. The colors were again escorted to-day, Captain O'Neill’s company, Battery G, be- ing detailed as escort, and, as Colonel Macdonald said yesterday, the ceremony was about perfect. The town was astir to-night with vehi- cles of all kinds—private and for hire— carrying visitors to the grounds, where a farewell dance was given. The regiment will Jeave here at 2 P. M. to-morrow, to ar- rive in S8an Francisco at 7:30 P. M. GAMES AT THE DIAMOND. BScores Made in the East by League and Association Men.

EIPLOSION O THE LARE Panic Caused Among the Pas- sengers of a Big Whale- back. Sugden, Over Twenty Are Badly Scalded by the Bursting of a Steam Pipe. CHICAGO, IrLL., June 23, 2:30 A. M.—The big whaleback excursion steamer Christo- pher Columbus, which left Milwaukee at 5 o'clock last evening with 600 people on board, has not reached here, and great an- xiety is felt for the safety of those on board. The boat was due here at 11 o’clock. The excursion season proper opened vesterday, and the great boat, which two Years ago carried thousands of people to the World’s Fair from her downtown dock, left for Milwaukee with a passenger-l of 600. The dock was well peopled at the usual hour for the boat’s arrival, but as the time sped on the nervousness which permeated the throng grew into fright, and the news that the boat was long overdue was re- peated throughout the city. The crowd grew steadily and at 20'clock admission was refused to late arrivals. The agents of the company laughed at the alarm of those who besieged the office, and said the Columbus would surely ar-| rive soon and delay was undoubtedly caused by 2 break in her machinery. So the time wore on until 3 o’clock when a telephone message from the outer crib gave the cheering intelligence that the big whaleback was passing there very slowly, confirming the surmises of the officials that her machinery had been disabled. She will dock before 4 A. M. Later.—The big steamer reached her dock about 3:45 A. M. The first passenger down the gangplank gave the intelligence that a terrible acci- dent had occurred. A steam pipe connecting one boiler with five smaller ones had burst and scalded fifteen or twenty persons, three or four of whom it is thought will die. A panic ensued, the cry of “fire’” alarm- ing the passengers from one end of the big boat to the other. FIRSTINFANTRY - SHOOT, Militiamen Contest for State Decorations at Shell Mound. Officers and Men Declare That the Sunday Order Will Work a Great Hardship. The First Infantry Regiment, N. G. C. had its turn at the shooting range yester- day at Shell Mound Park, in the semi annual competition for State decorations. The event was not very satisfactory, either in point of numbers or in the matter of scores. The men have doune better work on previous oceasions, and while the scores made will go on the official record, the figures will- hardly represent the skill of the First at the butts. All day a variable wind swept across the range ‘and kept the men changing their wind gauges. This, added to the fact that a good many were excused for a few hours and shot through the scores with the greatest possible haste, bad the effect of greatly reducing the average totals. The attendance was slim, because about half of the men could not leave work for the contest, and the commanding officer, Colonel H. P. Bush, announced that those who did not shoo# yesterday could do so next Tuesday. ; Heretofore the State shoots have been held on Sunday. But Sunday target- shooting for State records is now prohibitf ed. Governor Budd has said that he wil, have no more scores made on Sunday, and that scttles the matter. Both officers and men seem much dissatisfied with the new order. It is utterly impossible, they say, for some of the men to get off for target practice on a weekday. Others who can get off object to losing the time, and de- clare that they will not do so without re- muneration from the State. 5 Following are the scores made yester- ay: FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel H.

THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, April Packed Big Weight and Won the Two-Mile Hurdle Race. ZETA FIRST IN A HANDICAP. In the All-Age Handicap, Little Cripple Beat Del Norte Qut in a Drive. Gold Dust took a bad tumble in the hurdle race, but J. Murphy escaped uninjured. Three of the get of imp.True Briton started in the two-year-old event, one of them proving successful. Major Cook was heavily played in the first race, and although young Melntyre did fairly well, there was chance for improvement. It was Chevalier’s day again, the clever colored lad passing the winning post in front three times. Malo Diablo, Gracie S and April were the suc- cessful first choices, the other events going to second and third choices. H. J. Hart & Co. apparently have no particu- lar fondness for the jumping-horse game, for they did not book on the hurdle race. Mike Hennessy could not resist the tempta- tation of giving Montereyasqueeze after passing the half pole, and it proved more costly than any that Mike ever gave a member of the fair sex, for the judges taxed him $25. Charley Quinn, who seems to have fallen heir to Riley Grannan’s position of plunger at the right on deck yesterday. He scalped several members of the ring on Malo Diablo, and took a fall or twooutof all on the Little Cripple race. Panique, the sire of Leon L, Panway and other thoroughbreds of note, died recently at the Maple stud, Council Bluffs, Iowa, the prop- erty of John T. Stewart & Son. He was a chest- nut horse, foaled in 1881 by Alarm, dam Mag- gie B B. If necessary, April could have carried the clubhouse on his back in addi- tion to his impost of 160 pounds in the two-mile hurdle race, and then won. Dodd’s old chestnut gelding has a most as- tonishing ecapacity for shouldering all kinds of weight as he demonstrated in the past, but yesterday he excelled himself. Carrving top-weight in the handicap, he went to the post equal choice at 13 to 10, with John Field’s pair of jumpers, Mero and Gold Dust. The latter horse was sent out to make the running when they were sent away, but fell after taking the second jump. April then cutout the pace,and run- ning gamelv under punishment the greater part of the distance, won at the end, three parts of a length from Esperance, an out- sider who ran surprisingly well, beating Mero out for the place in the. last forty yards. It wasa grand performance, con- sidering the winner’s weight, the two miles being traversed in 3:48 The racing was witnessed by the ordinary Saturday crowd, not as large, perhaps, as on some previous Saturdays, still the bet- ting was fairly good. Big money has dis- appeared from the ring, the bookies no longer looking for it. Why Monitor was made an 8 to 5 favor- ite in the two-year-old handicap over the short six-furlong course was a mystery to many, and he performed poorly. After Virgie A and Installator had made the running to the stretch Chevalier came on with Zeta, the second choice at 18 to 5, and soon had the latter beaten, but was com- pelled to right his mount out to win by a neck from Rebellion, formerly Walcott, who came with his usual rush at the end. Instigator tinished a fair third. The handicap for the all-aged division, one mile and a furlong, fifth on the card, turnished some rare good sport. Del Norte and Flirtilla had the call when the odds were posted, each being held at 23 to 1, with Little Cripple carrying top-weight, 108 pounds, third choice; at 17 to 5. The handicappers fancied the latter to a man and 2 steady stream: of coin brought his price down to 13 to 5, although it again receded to threes at the last minute from a stiff play that cut Del Norte’s price a shade. Roma opened at threes, but went back to 4}4 to 1. Del Norte was the post favorite at 2 to 1 when the bell tapped tl&em out. The three lightweights. Flirtilla, Roma and Norblieh, set out in front at a crack- ing pace when the. flag sent them away, Del Norte and Little Cripple trailing be- hind. Roma turned into the stretch with a fair lead. but straightened for the wire was soon collared by Little Cripple, who was a gecond later joined by Del Norte, on which Piggott had begun to make his bid for the coin. It was a pretty drive between these latter two, Weber, through superior finishing powers, on Cripple, beating Del Norte out a good head in the excellent time of 1:55}4. Roma finished third. The opening race at six furlongs was taken by May McCarthy, third choice the betting at 16 to'5, who won handi from Major Cook. Centurion, the 13 to5 favorite, ended up third. But three horses went to the post in the mile race for three-year-olds, Malo Diablo, Monterey and Don Ceesar. Even money and 9 to 10 was the best offered against Malo Diablo, while Don Cesar went back in the betting from his opening price of 3to2toll to 5. There was a straggling lay on Monterey at 4 tol. Therace ende in a hollow victory for the favorite, who won as he pleased a length in front of Don Ceesar. Monterey ran well for half the dis- tance, when he fell out of it. The unfilled race on the over-night cards, a five and a’half furlongs, had seven starters. The gray mare Gracie S struck a very soft spot, her price quickly being hammered down from 4 to 5 to 11 to 20, Tom - Clarke, The Drummer and Soledad received sofae backing for the place. It proved as the smart set predicted, for the favorite led all the way, winning by three lengths from Tom Clarke, with The Drummer an ordinary third.

ALL KINDS OF SPORTING. A Gig Race Between Members of the Triton Boating Club. Don The Wife of a Prominent Los An- geles Sportsman Wins a Prize for Beauty. The oarsmen aredetermined that aquatic sports shall not remain behind in popular- ity, and as a means of encouraging the pa- trons of rowing, prizes have been offered for races between members of the various rowing clubs. This forenoon a gig race will be contested over the North Beach course between John Helborn, A. Schimpf, E. Peet and A. Schuppert of the Triton local club. The oarsmen have decided to settle the mooted question of superiority, and if the weather and water will permit a ilmrply contested race will assuredly re- sult. The Dolphin Boat Club has elected offi- cers for the ensuing year as follows: A. P. Rothkopf, lpresident; T. J. Sullivan, vice- president; H. Vanderwater, recording sec- retary; G. W. Van Gulpin, financial secre- tary; C. Schuppert, treasurer; J. Attridge, captain; James McCarthy, sergeant-at- arms; W. O. Patch, vice-captain. The Dolphins will make 2 most determined effort to bring aquatic sport on a level with other sports which now command the attention of the sport-loving public, and with that object in view several races will be contested on the water-front courses during the summer season. The Dolphins will be compelled to move their boathouse to_within close proximity of the Selby Smelting Works, owing to the extension of the avenue, which will necessi- tate a removal from their present quarters at the termination of Montgomery avenue and North Point street. The Triton Boating Clnb mustalso move to new quarters, but the officers of the club have not as yet decided upon a new location. The South End Club will, in all proba- bility, make an addition to their aiready well-equipped boathouse by adding a few outrigger skiffs. The club has unearthed a new oarsman among its members, who gives every promise of taking Henry Peter- son’s place as a single sculler. The name of the new aquatic star is Billy Hannivor, who Long thinks has the making of a great oarsman. Otis G. Dodge of Gualala writes that the beach near the town village is literally strewn with fish of about sixteen inches in length and resembling in appearance the French herring. “The boys of Gualala are having a glorious time catching those fish that are pitched on the beach by the heavy breakers,” says Mr. Dodge, “and the oldest inhabitants of this vicinity state that they have never witnessed such a plethora of sea fishes on the sands. Tne fish taken by the boys do not resemble any- thing in the line of salt water fishes that have ever been caught in this locality, but it is presumed that the fish belong to a variety of smelt—probably the horse smeit—which are in pursuit of innumerable small fishes, sardines, that are now working toward the north and moving ciose to shore.” On Tuesday last W. F. Barry and George Staeglich, prominent members of the Walla Walla Fishing Club, took their de- parture for the trout streams of Mendocino County. A letter from one of the sportsmen to the secretary of the club, Henry Helms, states that they are enjoying a splendid outing. A letter has been received from T.J. Gillespie which states that grand fishing and excellent shooting is now enjoyed in the vicinity of John L. Days’ resort on the south fork of the great Kel River. Game is plentiful in the hills and better fishin, than is now awaiting anglers on the Ee! River can be expected in no other part of the State. Chinese fishermen in the vicinity of Cali- fornia City and McNears Point have been making large catches of shrimp recently. Besides shrimp, the Chinese are depleting the bay of its small food fishes, “'Eich is contrary to law. The photograph of Miss Edith Griffin of Pomona, winner of the Examiner prize for the most beautiful woman among several thousand phomgraih!. is that of the wife of the well-known Los Angeles sportsman, E. B. Tufts. The open season for dove-shooting will commence on July 1. A team shoot between the Empire, Lin- coln and Electric Gun clubs will be held to-day at the Oakland track. COUNTRY CLUB SHOOT. The Handsome Trophy Is Won by A. C. Tubbs at the Oakland Track. The fifth season shoot of the Country Club for the club trophy was held yester- day afternoon at Oakland racetrack. The attendance was fair and the birds were above the average. A. C. Tubbs won the trophy on twelve straight birds—a clean score. F. R. Webster and C. W, Tuttle got ten birds each, while W. B.

BOLD BURGLARS FOILED, A Most Daring Attempt to Rob a Market-Street Drugstore. THE SCHEME WELL PLANNED. There Is No Clew to the Perpetra- tors—Dr. Freeman’s Narrow Escape. A daring attempt at burglary was re- ported to the police authorities yesterday, and from the fact that violence was also attempted, and that the scene was a drug- store, the police had their recellections of the murder of young Eugene Ware some months ago in the drugstore, corner of Hayes and Market streets, revived, and at once plunged into an investigation of the details of the reported case. The scene of the attempt was the No Percentage Pharmacy on the south side of Market street, near Sixth, and the time was 11:30 o’clock Friday night. The store is open until 12 o’clock every night, and as a good counter trade is conducted, the tills usually contain quite a sum of money when closing-up time comes. William Robertson was the clerk on duty, and the story of the attempted raid is best told in his own words: “Iand Dr. Freeman, who has an office in the rear of the store, were the only per- sonsin the place at about 11:15 o’clock when we heard a noise in the rear vard. It sounded like the falling down of a pile of boxes. and knowing that dozens of cases were stacked up against our back fence we concluded tfiat some predatory cats had caused the disturbance. The doctor then wentin behind the prescrip- tion desk, and five minutes later a medium-sized man with a red face and blonde mustache came into the store hur- riedly. In response to my question as to what be wanted he said : “‘T'l] give you the prescription.’ ‘‘He drew out a tablet and wrote in a very neat manner a prescription for an ounce of chloroform. He signed some name which I do not remember. Although he acted in a nervous manner I concluded, after seeing how the prescription was writ- ten, that he was a physician. While put- ting up the order 1 happened to glance at the front window and I saw a man there peering earnestly into the store and whirl- ing a handkerchief about in his hands. I did not pay much attention to that, but before I handed over the chloroform there was more noise in the rear and Dr. Free- man went out to see what the cause of it was. The man waiting for the drug saw him go out and then asked meto hurry. As I handed him the parcel and he threw out the money for it I heard a crash in the rear. The man grabbed the chloroform and hurried out, while I'hastened'to the back yard to see what had happened. “I met Dr. Freeman returning. He said that a man had been in the yard and was about entering the door when he pushed it open from the inside. The only light there came from an inside gasjet. All the doctor saw wasa shadow retreating. He cried, ‘Who is there?’ and in response a heavy crockery mug whizzed by his head and broke in pieces against the brickwork of the house. We then gota candle and in- vestigated, with the result that we found two boards had been torn off the back fence—that was the first noise that we heard—and it was through the aperture that the man had entered. The whole scheme was then plain to us. When our back door is open one can look clear through the store behind the counter to the front window. The man at the window was there with his handkerchief to give the man who was supposed to be at the back door notice when I went behind the prescription desk to fill the order. Then, if everything was clear, he could sneak through the small rear room and knock me senseless while I ‘was out of sight of any one. They did not reckon on Dr. Freeman being in the store. ‘When he went out the man who came through the fence thought it was me, and picking up a mug that was Iying on the sink in the yard threw it ai me with the intention of knocking me out. The other men in front seeing f)r. Freeman appear saw that their game was up. and lost no time in getting away, Had I been alone I have no doubt that the fellow that got in by the rear fence would have sneaked in on me and knocked me senseless. The other two might then easily have gone through the store and people from the out- side would not have known whether they were employes or not. The man who pre- sented the prescription isa man who un- dfirul‘nnds the drug business, I could see that.” The police are of the opinion that the whole affair was a cleverly concocted scheme on the part of men who would not even have hesitated at murder to accom- plish their object. Had the man from the rear caught ;Robertson behind the pre- scription ~desk he might not only have knocked him senseless but in the event of a struggle even killed him. Access to the rear of the drugstore is easy. There is.a small back yard and a high board fence which shuts it off from the rear of a large brick building which runs through to Stevenson street. This build- ing was formerly used as a mill, but of late has been unoeccupied. It would be easy for any one to gain access to it, and from its rear rip a couple of boards off the fence and get into the drugstore yard. After the excitement was over Mr. Robertson and Dr. Freeman called for the police. Special Officer Michael Hussey, whose beat is on the opposite side of Mar- ket street, was one of the first to respond and gathered the particulars. He scoured the neighborhood in search of suspicious characters, but they had evidently gone down Market street. Hussey, who has been on the Market-street beat for years and knowsall theins and outs of surround- ing small streets, had to give up the chase, as did Special Ofticer Peyser. Officers McGrayn and Owens, who are the regular policemen on the beat, also undertook to trail the men. It isin their hands that the case now rests. Mr. Robertson says that he can identify the man who wrote the prescription if he sees him. The man who looked through the window he described as a swarthy fel- low with a black mustache and wearinga slouch hat. Dr. Freeman states that on account of the darkness he could not get any view at all of the man who attempted to brain him with the mug. Detectives were also placed upon the case yesterday, but late last night they had no clew to the men.
