Stewart has been chosen president. of the secret society to be known as the Order of the - Supreme Temple, Siiver Knights of America. 1t is organizel under the laws of Virginia, and its charter says the object of the order is to disseminate and practice the principles of fraternal love and to se- cure the free coinage of silver. The order is to have passwords, grips, rituals and secret work. The charter members of this order expect that it will take as deep root in the United States as the A. P. A. move- ment. The principal office is given in the charter as A examirin, Va. (across the Po- tomac from Washington), but most of the busine: sacted in the Evans build- ing, Washington, in which the CALL office is located. Senator Stewart, ex-Congressman Rich- ards of Ohio, and one or two other silver- ites of local prominence, have been hold- ing nightly meetings. Senator Stewart seems to be the chief spirit of the enter- prise, and being at 1ts i facetiously dubbed “grand patriarch” of the order. 2 S Of Interest to the Coast. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3.—C. A.

After bid- ding farewell to the electors who have sup- ported' him at the polls for many years past, and expressing his gratitude for their adhesion to the principles he advocated, the ex-Premier proceeds to say: It is beyond question that the century expir- ing has exhibited since its first quarter period of mnexampled activity, the changes of which, taken in the mass, have been in the direction of true and beneficial progress. An overwhelm- g proportion of the reforms within this period have been effected by the airect action of the Liberal party, or by the direct action of such statesmen as Peel and Canning, who were ever ready to meet odium or to for- feit power for the public good.

MELANIE RIGHT UP TO DATE. Myron Dumped the Talent Hard by Winning the Handicap Off the Reel. Starter Ferguson’s work: with the flag has been of the ragged sort of late, the <hances of Seraphin in the handicap being virtuelly ruined by the start. One bookmaker in the ring thought he had dis- covered & “floater” in Myron, and as the horses were going to the post reised his price from 5 to10to 1. He proved very much alive, how- ever. Chevalier was in front again yesterday on three winners, two of his mounts being horses from the Elmwood stock farm string, which stable is enjoying a very lucky winningstreak. Piggott and Jones were the other successful boys. Coady on Centurion was cut off at one stage of the run in the handicap, and after that rode very indifferently. He was suspended by the judges for his dilatory tactics, having been warned in a previous race for this same fail- ing. Frank Dickey is endeavoring to arrange a hat four and a half furlongs between nroe Johnson's filly Clara Johnson and the Lone stables’ Pansy for §500 a side, he fur- nishing the Clara Johnson end. All that re- mains to consummate the match is Tralner Murr;’s acceptance. Charley Quinn, about the heaviest bettor at the track at present, evident es in the saying that “a turn about is fair play.” Some days ago he backed Carmel in & race, in_ which the sulker finished a bad last, due, it was imed, to the absence of his usual “toddy. Yesterday in bet $1000 on the Julia Martin filly, and Carmel beat her in a gallop. Carmel was entered to be sold for $100, and Charlie gave him one gentle “boost” of §$350, just to iet the other “feller” see how it felt to lose. A card made up of four events for sell- laters and one handicap attracted the 1 number of ‘‘regulars’ to the track 3 The time made in the different events was slow, and the racing far below the average. Out of the five events three lightly backed f tes were successful. If such it could be called, the five fur- long handicap was the feature of the card, with five entries. Rinfax and "'Hueneme were the talent’s pick, each going to the post 13 to 5. The race ended in a bigdump, for Myron, a 10 to 1 chance, took the lead almost im- mediately, and running under wrap, won easily by two lengths from Seraphin. Rinfax was a_good third. The time was very creditatle, 1:01 A cheap five and a balf furlong dash that opened the day’s racing proved a mere pipe-opener for the 4 to 5 favorite, who won hands down from Hanford, who closed at 9 to 1 in the betting. Amigo was a bang-up third, starting at 20 to 1. As usual the Holly entry, Melanie, had the crowd guessing on the next event over the same distance as the race preceding, and after opening at 4 to 5, even money could be had about the mare at post time. She won as she pleased, three partsof a length in frontof Rico the supposed *‘good thing”’ in the race, backed from 6 to 2 to 1. Venus, who went back in the betting from 4 to 15 to 1, ran fairly well, finishing third. The Julia Martin filly was made an 8 to 5 choice for the six-furlong run over the inside course, but she could never get close enough to Carmel in the race, who started at 34 to 1, to make the sulking brute ex- tend himself. d the place, how- ever, very han ilie G.

He intended to leave on the steamer Coptic but, that intentjon has been frustrated and he will likely spend a few years in 8an Quentin. FIELD TRIAL CONTESTANTS Full List of the Young Dogs That Will Run at Bakersfleld in Janu- ary Next. Entries for the Pacific Coast field trial derby meeting, which will be held near Bakersfield on January 20 next, closed last Monday, but for some reason best known to Mr. Kilgariff, with whom the entrants had closed, reporters were informed that the names of the dogs and their owners were not yet ready for publication. How- ever, the Cary takes pleasure in_giving its readers the full and complete list of the dogs that bhave been entered, excepting one pointer whose owner’s name could not be ascertained. The entries are: Hi Payne of San Francisco, one English set- ter; Larsen, one English setter; J. Schu- macher of Los Angeles, one English’ seiter; M. Kerchoff of Los Angeles, who is president of the Field Trial Club, one Enclish setter; T. Walker of Los Angeles, one pointer; George Crocker of San Francisco, two English_setters and nneFulmEr; William_Kittle, one English setter; F. Dexter, one English setter: J. W. Keene of Portland, Or., onc English setter; Judge C.N. Post of Sacramento, two English setters, and one pointer, owner not named. Among the youngsters there are some very promising dogs that will certainly show to good advantage when they will be cast off on the cactus plains of Bakers- field, the only eood ground upon which field trials have been held so far on this coast. The Pacific Kennel Club was to have met last evening, but it being the eve of a great holiday only a few members were present and no business was transactes THE BAY DISTACT TRACK, T. H. Williams, of the Califor- nia Jockey Club, Says He Will Buy It. States He Has Sixty Days’ Refusal, and That He Has Put Up a Deposit. Thomas H. Williams, president of the California Jockey Club, has, he says, the refusal of the property known as the Bay District racetrack. Itis said that if in sixty days he makes up his mind to purchase it he can have it for §650,000, but if he should in that time change his mind he will forfeit to the Crocker estate the sum of $10,000, which he has put up asan earnest of his intention to acquire the property. Presi- dent Williams said yesterday: It isa fact that I intend to purchase the Bay District racetrack, which at this time is heid by the clubon & month to month lease. 'As to the price being ,000, T do not care to say anything at this time, but'I have the re- fusal of the property for sixty days and an amount of money has been put up to hold the property during that time. The transfer will include all the property within the racecourse fences and the property west of D street, on which the stables and sheds stand. Improvements? Well, no; I don’t think there will be any occation for any improve- ments at this time, except to build an inside sand_track to use in case of heavy rainy weather. There has been some talk of unpleasantness between Colonel Fred Crocker and myself, but thet is a mistake. There has also been some talk about opposition of the Richmond peoplo to the track. 1 have convinced them that in- stead of being a detriment it is a benefit. F. G. Parker, president of the Richmond Improvement Ciub, explained his relations with Mr. Williams. ¢ added: The people of the ciub and of the district are divided on the subject of the racetrack. There arc a number of them benefited by the track in various ways. They rent rooms t6 men who work there; they have places of business that are patronized bv such, and these have friends among the property-owners, who are willing toserve them by not urging the removal of the track. As to the purchase by Mr. Williams, I do not know anything, but if the price stated is correct, I believe it {sa fair one. The tract in- cludes ‘800 building lots, which are worth an average of $1000 each, but to bring the oroperty to the official grade would require 1’06600 Yards of sand" or other material. The block on which the French Hospital stands was purchased three years ago for 48,000, but before the foundation of the hospital was lald $65,000 was offered for it and refused. There arc ten blocks in the racetrack property, so that would bring the blocks to $65,000 each. Reuben H. Lloyd in answer to a ques- tion said that purchasing the property as a racetrack was not a good investment, because t any moment the Supervisors can order the streets that are now within ihe limits of the track opened, and the Superintendent of Streets would go to the nlace and tear down the fences that are now on the streets, which would put an end to the racing business. The streets that can at any moment be opened are A, B and C, and Second, Third and Fourth avenues. RAPHAEL'S MONEY BARREL Eddie Brickley Guessed How Much There Was in It and Won a Bicycle. For some time past there was in one of the show windows of the Raphael Incorpor- ated Clothing-house, Nos. 9 to 15 Kearny street, a glass barrel filled with coins. The barrel was 8 inches high by 15 inches in circumference, tied with colored ribbons and sealed, and alongside was a notice that any purchaser, large or small, would be privileged to guess at theamount of money 1n the barrel, and that the nearest guesser could have the pick of any bicycle, either man's, lady’s or boy’s. The contest closed at 8 o’clock last night, and a quarter of an hour later the coin was counted by three newspaper men, one from the CALL, another from the Examiner and the third from the Chronicle. 1t was found that there were 1471 nickels and one dime, amounting in the aggregate to $73 65. After that there was turned over to the committee two large boxes filled with bal- lots, and then the examination of these proceeded in the presence of a great crowd of people, who felt an interest in the re- sult. Over 6000 ballots were examined. In this vast number it was found that two guessers had struck the exact amount. One was Eddie Brickley of 427 Third street, and the other was Harry H. Scott Jr. As Brickley had been the first lucky guesser it was decided that the wheel should go to him, and he will receive it to-day. There were a number who made a very close guess, some coming within 5, 10 and 20 cents, while quite & number came within $2 of the amount. Many of the guessers Eut down $105, the amount charged for igh-grade wheels. Others were very wild in their guesses, running ur into the hundreds, and one individual concluded that $1500 was about the proper thing. The barrel was filled anew with different coin and placed in the window for another guessing contest for a bicycle. e St. Ignatius College. ‘The preparatory and elementary classes of St. Ignatius College will reopen next Monday 8t8:30 A.

Martin, the Heavy- Weight Capitalist, the Latest Victim. ON A BIKE WITH BLOOMERS. He WIIl Glide Through Oakland in Regulation Costume—How He Trained. The latest victim to bikes and bloomers is Henry S, Martin, capitalist, bon vivant and raconteur, a prominent member of the French Colony and a big man in the Native Sons of the Golden West. He is the biggest man in the latter order, and his capacious chest has been decorated with the highest honors to be bestowed by the Native Sons. He is rolling in wealth and health, the latter being measured in avoirdupois by figures somewhere in the neighborhcod of the 400 mark, and the former being estimated at away over that figure in thousands, and to reduce both he has taken to the wheel, and thereby hangs a tale. For the past week Mr. Martin has been invisible in the afternoons at his office, but a few of the initiated had not farto look for him. A cyclery has been started Henry Martin. [From a photograph.] in the old poolrooms underneath his office, and about three weeks ago the stout capi- talist wandered into the merry-go-round and watched in rapt enjoyment the an- tics of a few beginners. “Henry,” said an enthusiastic friend, “why don’t you get a wheel?”’ “Oh! ho! ho! ha! ha!" laughed Mr. Martin. *‘The boys would say 1 had one in my head. Catch me ona wheel. Pretty good. Where would you get one to bear | me?"’ “I've got one,”’ said Proprietor Stowell. An old time ‘“‘trick’’ wheel which had seen grea’ service on the stage and in the cireus was brought to_light. It was pro- nounced a veritable Hercules in point of strength, and the cavitalist said that it | needed to be. After much persuasion he was induced to mount it. First Mr. Mar- tin removed his stovepipe hat and frock coat. The skirts of the latter, it was ex- plained, would interfere with his actions and the maneuvers of the wheel. The bike was tilted and one of the Martin legs | thrown over it. The next moment both feet were on the pedals and the handles were firmly grasped. “You’re off!"” shouted Stowell. “No, 'm not; I'm on,” gasped the capi- talist, the beads of perspiration clustering on his massive forehead. Several men held him up on either side and_trotted around the ring twice, and then Mr. Mar- tin declared it was irent sport and very easy, and he said he would go it alone. He started out bravely and proceeded quarter way round the track, when the wheel began to show him some of its tricks. First it swerved to one side, and Mr. Martin said “Oh!” softly. Then the bike took a spin in a zigzag course, accom- anied with bumps and “‘ohs’’ from Mr. Martin, and then came the climax. The machine wabbled, and going sudden ahead half stopped, then took a lunge for- ward at a rapid gait, when the hind wheel “kicked.” There was a dull thud, a mass of quivering humanity, a silent steed and the first lesson was over and Mr. Martin had become estranged from the wheel. But he was not easily daunted. “T'll buy that bike,” said the capitalist, and he did. “Yes,” said Mr. Martin, yesterday, it is a fact that I have taken to bikes and bloomers, and I have grown to be quite an enthusiast of the wheel. I have mastered the various intricacies of the machine and can now ride with the wheels on the ground instead of the air. The bike on which I practice is a roustabout sort of a wheel, which has been around the conntry with barn-storming companies and isas full of tricks asa circus donkey. It was very playful for a while, but I think that my superior weight has overcome its antics. How much do I weigh? That's a secret, but I think that the exercise will in time reduce my flesh. All my people in Oak- land ride, and I thought that I too would bein the fashion. Iam going to don the bloomers, too,” and Mr. Martin chuckled at the thought of himself in the new woman's garments. “I had to send to Chicago for a sweater. The machine I will have built will be very strong of course, and the seat, or saddle, will be of a peculiar construction an materially strengthened above the ordi- nary standard. No, I shall not have my first outing in the park, but will confine myself to the good roads of Oakland. My bioomers will be of adark tweed, and the sweater will also be of dark material.

Many hundred people assembled on Grant avenue, near Market street, last evening and made final preparations for bringing up the end of the Fourth of July procession to-day. P. Ross Martin, Fred Steinhauer, George Aspden, T. E. Zant and others delivered addresses and urged the employed and unemployed to join their ranks and teach the public a great object lesson. From assurances al- ready received the leaders of this com- monwealth expect several thousand to be in line this morning. T. Lynch was selected as grand marshal and he will select his aids this morning. The line will be formed on Fifth street. opposite the Mint. The line of march will be down Mission street to the water front. Miss Addie Swain will ride on horse- back and lead the men, all of whom will curr{n'mnlllAmeriun flags. In the ranks will be carried over 100 mottoes, painted on small squares of canvas. The labor parade will be about half a block behind the regular procession, and will follow it around over the entire route, and with the procession will pass in review before the review stand. At some convenient place on Van Ness- ayenue the workmen will hold their exer- l cises. P. Ross Martin will read the Decla- ration of Independence, The other speak- | ers will be W. Greenwood, George Aspden, T. Lafferty and others. The men will again form in line and march back, drop- ping from the ranks at their pleasure. ROBBED A SHOESTORE. Burglars Disappointed at Not Getting | Away With Their Booty. 3 The shoestore of Frank Parker, 405 Hayes street, was entered by burglars on Tuesday | night, who thoroughly ransacked the premises. Purker had closed the store at 8 o'clock, but had occasion to return about 11 o’clock. He was surprised to tind every- thing in a state of disorder. Boxes of shoes had been removed from the shelves and were scatterea around on the floor. The cash-drawer had been forced open and | the contents stolen. ik Parker ran outside and blew a_pslice whistle. Deputy Sheriff Martin Hughes | happened to be within, a few doors of the | store and he went to see what was the matter. He and Parker examined the store and found that twenty-four boxes of: shoes had been stolen from the shelves. | They searched the yard and discovered five of the boxes hidden under the stairs in the | rear. A further search led to the discovery | of the other nineteen boxes which had | been packed in sacks and concealed in Lin- den avenue, in the rear. : & | Two policemen had by this time arrived | upon the scene and a careful search was | e for the burglars but without success. It is supposed they had intended to return | for the stolen packages at a later hour | when the streets were deserted. The burg- | lary was reported at police headquarters yesterday morning. DASHER HND HTHLETES The Local Men Leave for Stockton for the Fourth of July. Crowds Go Away by Boat and Train to Particlpate in Flower City Events. The crews of the different boating clubs from here which will take part in the Stockton regatta to-day left last evening on board the river steamer Mary Garreit. On board were the junior and senior crews of the Ariel, South End and Pio- neer rowing clubs. The single scullers among the professionals were Jack Dum- phy. Charley Long, William Growney and | H. Peterson. The scullers on board who | will represent the amateur class are J. Mc- Causland and Henry Witkoff of the Ariels, Frank Dupliscea ot the South Ends and J. Caughlin and Len Hawsler of the Dol- phins. J The reason assigned by the captain of the latter club for not having a better rep- | resentation was because of- the tearing.| down of the old clubhouse:and the build- | ing of a new house on Selbys wharf, | There s not a vacant berth on the | steamer when it left this. City, and its | upper deck was_occupied by oarsmen and-| athletes. who will contest in the field-day | games and regatta of to-day. The senior crew of the South End Club, who won the championship of ‘the coast at the recent regatta held over the Long | Bridge course, was doubtful as to- the amount of sleep it would enjoy in case the water route to- Stockton was selected. At any rate the boys concluded that the rail- road was the better way of reaching their destination, and with that object in view left on the 3 p. M. train. { From all accounts the Stockton crew | have been training like beavers for weeks past in the hope of Jowering the colors of | the champions, and if no accident occurs to mar the pleasure of the race, the con- test between Stockton’s able oarsmen and the flower of the South End Club should be well worth going many miles to see, - FARO GAME RAIDED. The Second Time James Wilson and His Gang Have Been Taken In. A faro game was raided at 17 ‘Third | street yesterday evening by Sergeant Christenson and a posse from the -Folsom- street police station.

Watkins, John Bozeman, Wilson and Charles Smith. James | Wilson seemed to.be the.propretor, and | deposited $40 bail for each.

At that time $800 in cash ‘was secured by the police, - besides & complete lavout. Lieutenant Hanna had located: the.game and planned a surprise on’ the :gamblers, which was carried out nicely.
