AT SIMPSON CHURCH. A Splendid Musical Programme—John E. Richards Kept Away by Sickness. Simpson Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church was crowded to the doors last evening. There were several conspiring causes for the exceptionally large attend- ance, one of which was that a splendid musical programme had been arranged for the occasion and the Simpson Memorial chojr was augmented by the orchestra of the First Congregational Church of Oak- land, with Alexander T. Stewart as con- ductor. Another cause was doubtless the fact that John E. Richards had been se- cured for an interesting address on *‘The Relation_of the Public Press to Morals.” Add to these the fact that the pastor, Rev. Dr. A. C. Hirst, will preach nis farewell sermon next Sunday morning and the reasons for the large congregation are clear. It was a grand praise service, the last one to be conducted in that pulpit by Dr. Hirst, who expects to accept a call to Chi- cago shortly. One of the most important teatures of the service, the address by Mr. Richards, was unavoidably lacking. Dr. Hirst announced that only a few hours previous he had received a message from Mr. Richards saying that the latter had taken a severe cold Saturday which pre- vented him from speaking audi 28th of July | bly in pub- | Levy snd lic. The regret at this announcement was general. Dr. Hirst briefly eulogized the absent orator asa Christian scholar and a Christian gentleman. The pastor himself then preached the evening’s serman en- titled *“The Voice of God in the Soul.” The musical programme was as follows: “Gloria,” from B flat mass (Haydn); hymn, “Nearer My God,to Thee” ; scripture and prayer; “The Music of the Spheres” (Rubenstein); largo (Handel); Simpson Memorial Choix; “The Lost Chord,” cornet solo (Sullivan); Sanctus from the “St. Cecelia” mass, “Holy, Holy, Lord God, Almighty” (Gounod); “‘Ava Maris,” duo for cornet and trombone (Langey); Simpson Choir; “Sacred Fest March” (Gruenwald); ben- | ediction. A COLLEGE BANQUET. Song, Toast and Reminiscence of Greek Letter Organizations at the Festal Board. The banquet hall of the Califorma Hotel was the scene of ‘a jolly gathering on last Saturday night, when the California Alumni Association of the Sigma Nu Fra- ternity met about the festal board. The | organization is composed of the graduates of Beta Chi_chapter at ihe Leland Stan- ford Jr. University and of Beta Psi chapter atthe University of California, and the fraternity is one of the strongest and most influential of the Greek letter organizations on the coast. For about five hours the former col- legians enjoyed themselves in discussing the vivands, recounting college reminis- cences, singing their songs and responding to toasts. John D. Partridge, the president of the association, acted as toastmaster. Those present were Philip W. Tompkins, Marvin Curtis, Frederick Denicke, Maurice V. Samuels, Chester H. Woolsey, Bradford Webster, Arthur C. Turner, George H. Boke, Herbert E. Fishback, Arthur H. C. Mau and E. Byron Wolf, alumni of Beta Psi chapter, and John J. Sheehan Jr., Max L. Rosenfeld, Thomas C. Carothers, Henry Carey, Walter Rose, George Ca- rothers and Will Harrelson of Beta Chi chapter. THE CALIFORNI BANUET Mrs. Margaret Touchard to Show the Excellencies of Our Products. Manufacturers Should Advertise Thelr Wares jn Order That They May Be Appreciated. The “California banquet” is assured, as the following correspondence will show: SaN sc1sco, August, 1895. uchard, President_of the Tub—DEAR MADAM: We are rmed that you are in a position he task of preparing and con- | ducting a California banquet from California It is well known to us all that the s of California are at this time attract- ing most favorable attention both at home and abread. Conceding this to be a fact we deem it befitting and proper to further call public at- tention to the superiority and general adapta- | bility of many California products as compared | with® those oi other countries when used as food and in the culinary arts. This, we think, could be_done in a very neat and gracious manner by giving a banquet at which only the varied products of this great State shall be used end displayed, the same to be purely and en- tirely a California banquet. Knowing you aswe do personally and by rep- utation, we feel confident that by placing this | matter in your hands, ank asking you to kindly | undertake the mansgement of iis affair in behalf of California and in the interest of her products, the enterprise will be carefully and onestly conducted, and that your skillful management will render it & success in every , hence we earnestly request that give the matter your serious considera- tion.

In reply to the request in the above letter that Mrs. Margaret Touchard will conduct and serve a California banquet, showing that this State produces the richest and best of every- thing needed in the most elaborate menu, she | bas considered and fully discussed the matter with her iriends, and decided to comply with the request. After looking around to find a suitable place, some of the ladies suggested the banquet-room of the California Hotel would be most suitable, and decided that the h.of the coming month (September) the pleasurable event will take place, MARGARET TOUCHARD, President of California Club. Mrs. Margaret Touchard is an enthu- siast on the subject of California products and their excellence in right hands. Her specialty for some time has been putting up jellies and tomatoes, and in the course of her experience she has supplied the Palace Hotel, Stanford University, Army Commissary, Bobemian and University clubs, Pac Mail Steamship Company and other institutions. Mrs. Touchard, delicately reared in a Southern family, has a natural genius tor cookery. She ‘stands firm for her theory that California is alone in her products, and that their qualities can only be brought out by distinctive treatment. California flour, she says, can make unsurpassed | *crusty bread” ; our vegetables have more water in them than have Eastern vege- tables; our water has more saccharine; fruits grown by irrigation require specia! treatment; there are at least 150 different receipts for cooking California dried fruits; there is nothing equal to our Cali- fornia red and white wines. These are some of the points to which Mrs. Touchard referred in speaking of the banquet yesterday. “While not wishing in any way to de- preciate Eastern goods,” said Mrs. Tou- chard, “I desire to emphasize the fact that Eastern people do not understand Califor- nia products. It is no use bringing out Eastern culinary experts to thiscoast to instruct usin preparing California foods. All our products are sui generis, and re- quire distinct treatment in order to bring out their surpassing excellencies. For in- stance, I have found that the ordinary cooking of fruits grown under irrigation drives cut the delicate flavor, and renders them comparatively tasteless. This may be obviated by the introduction of heated air at the bottom of boilers, by a process which I have discovered. This is only one instance. *‘On the other hand, California products are not so well known as they might be if they were judiciously advertised. Eastern manufacturers of specially good articles, such a8 baking-powders, sauces, preserves, ete., find it worth while to steadily adver- tise their wares in this State. We may have just as good or better, but they must be known to be appreciated. “I think the California banquet will be a great success, although the time for prepa- ration is not too long. There will be emi- nent speakers at table, and the idea is to found a free cooking-school, if possible, whence may go forth good California cooks. Such a movement would be wide-reaching for good in California homes, as well as among California producers.” A fi:rge quantity of common native roducts have already been offered Mrs. gouchard for use at the forthcoming ban- quet. .

GERMANY'S FLAG ABSENT, The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein Paraded Without the Emblem. OLD GLORY ROUNDLY CHEERED. It Was the Thirty-Seventh Anni- versary of the Club—Scores at Shell Mound. The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein has set the example, and all the other inde. pendent rifle companies are almost sure to fall into line. The verein yesterday, for the first time in thirty-seven years, pa- raded without the German flag. The stars and stripes were at the head of the line, and as the standard-bearer marched to his position the band played ‘“The Star-span- gled Banner.” The place of the German flag was taken by the banner that the Cali- fornia team took East with it when Strecker, Schuster, Helm and Kaktor car- ried all before them. The occasion was the thirty-seventh an- niversary of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein. The men were in full uniform and all carried rifles, a special permit hav- ing been issued by the adjutant-general. This was the first inaependent company to turn out after the assassination of Presi- dent Lincoln. It stood guard over the old Alta California, and made its headquarters in platts Hall until relieved by the regu- lars, From that time to this the verein has been one of the most loyal bodies of men in California, and they are one and all ready at a moment’s notice to take up arms in defense of their adopted country. The celebration of the anniversary took place at Shell Mound Park and naturally the shooting contests were the principal features in the day’s amusements. The company went over on the 9 A. M. boat and at 10:15 o’clock every target was in use. Over $500 was given in Yrizeu at the public targets and some capital scores were made. With only_three shots allowed John Utschig made 72 out of a possible 75. This is the best score, in the circumstances, ever made in the history of the verein. For years the best score stood at 71, and many and many a year not better than 67 car- ried off the ‘honors. Utschig was still being congratulated when the ferry-boat reached San Francisco, as his score equaled the hiFhest made during the New York festival. The first bullseye in the morning was made by Fred Brandt and the last by Fred Schuster. The first in the afternoon was made by L. Bendel and the last by Jobn Zimmerman. The “Stitch” target produced another record. Only three shots were allowed, and nothing but bullseyes counted. Fre Schuster made the remarkable score of three bullseyes in succession. He shared the honors of the day with Utschig, and was one of the principal prize-winners of the day. Out of forty-three members avho shot at the “‘Stitch” target, only the following succeedea in making bullseyes: Philo Jacoby 2, A. Gehret 2, C. Thierbach 2and L. Haaks 2; N. Ahrens, F. Attinger, H. Wicker, John Utschig, H. Burfeend, W. Glindemann, Charles Rapp and A. Strecker 1 each. On the company’s target ninety-eight members fired, and the highest scores were: John Utschig 72, Kautmann Wertheimer 67, N. _ihrens 67, John Laukenau 66, Louis Bendel 65, H. H. Burfend 61, F. Koch 61, George Alpers 60 and D. B. Faktor 60. There was a match contest limited to 120 shots on the point target. Crossing the bay Strecker confidently asserted that he would carry off the prize, He was as ood as _his word, winning with a score of 212, D. B. Faktor being second with 191. The first prize for the highest score made during the entire day was won by D. B. Faktor, with John Utschig second. The members of the verein were accom- panied by their wives and daughters, and the picnic which they held in the grounds of tge park was a most enjoyable affair. The regular monthly shoot of the Naval Reserve also took place at Shell Mound, with the following result: H. Harris 41, C. Allen 39, George Kearney 39, C. Wise- man 35, J. Cappelman 38, E. Rich 28, E. Allen 31, F. Bartel 31, J. Hilpisch 18, E. Koster 34, J. Battee 31, D. N. McMillen 21, A. Lindermann 30 and H. C. Drorg- mand 27. The scores made by Company F of the First Regiment were as follows: C. Isak- son 44, W. W. McGowsn 44, Lieutenant H. E. Curzons 43, Captain J. L. Eckert 40, F. P. Pinkham 41, W. E. Meadows Jr. 39, F. H. Molte 39 and P. Brodtkorp 35. Out of this shoot grew a match for a dinner be- tween McGowan and Curzons and Isakson and Meadows.

CRESCENT CLUB'S RACE: J. Leve Won First Place and T. Brannan Made Best Time. The Circult Riders Return After a Varlety of Experi- ences. The Crescent Road Club held a five-mile handicap road race yesterday afternoon over the course from San Mateo to San Qarlos. The road was somewhat cut up and a headwind part of the way prevented very fast time being made, but under these adverse conditions the time was far from being slow, as will be seen by the following table: [T e Time. CONTESTANT. i Handicap. L. Bearwaid.. H Gunderson. scral 11 min. 1 2-5 scratch. {broke down. J. Leve, who won the race,is a very promising rider and will bear watching. T. Brannan made best time, 13:06. The officials were: J. B. Conlin, starter; M, R. Gibson and J. A. Desimone, timers. Next Saturday the Crescent Club will ride to Santa Rosa, returning Monday night. ’f‘ha “Call” Bicycle Club had a runto Centerville yesterday, which was very en- joyable. There were numerous punctured tires on the trip from nails ana splinters on the several bridges the riders had to bring this up to cross. The club now numbers sixty-tWo | gite P alace | men, and Jmnb'm. 5 seventy-five the coming week. The club will attend the race meet at San Jose next Monday. Messrs. Brunt, Argenti and Allen of the California Cycling Club, made the trip to San Jose yesterday. President Allen, B. D. Bentand H.C. Owens of the Camera Club rode to Hay- wards looking for some new snap-shots. _The racing men who were following the circuit all returned last night, and will rest until the races at Oakland next Saturda; Emil Ulbricht, the %‘r’eat class B rider, w go to Los Angeles, Wednesday, to ride in the races there next week. Horace Slater, his team mate, will remain here. The circuit riders say they were well treated at Chico, but were not at Wood- land. The track there was wet and slip- pery, Allan Jones suffering a severe fall on it. The prizes also were not anywhere near up to value. At Dixon the manage- ment made a serious mistake in permit- ting Wilbur F. Knapp to act as referee, He 18 a professional, and the League of American Wheelmen’s rules distinctly state the referee must be an amateur. At Chico five of the local riders rode against Ulbricht in a twenty-five-mile race, and as a result will be transferred to class B, a penalty of which they were not ad- vised, and they now sorely regret their nl:_istake. The audiencesat Chico were very slim. Harry F. Terrill, the fastest class A man on the coast, will go Kast shortly and ride on the circuit with his brother. He may enter class B later on. The Santa Rosa Wheelmen'’s dirt track will soon be completed. The contract has been let and work will be rapidly pushed forward. IN'THE HANDBALL COURTS Champion Jones Defeats Champion Harlow and W. Williams. A Handsome Prize Is Offered for the Best Player In the Unlon Court. There was more than the usual number of spectators at the handball courts yester- day, as several games that gave promise of being keenly contested were on the cards. The expectation was fully real- ized. The event of the day at the San Fran- cisco court was a match between Cham- pion Jones of Australia and J. Harlow, the coast champion, assisted by W. Williams, a recent arrival from Boston. Jones won after a hard struggle. One of the features of the game was the fine service and play of Williams, who has two good hands, and with a little more practice will be able to give the leading amateurs or professionals a hard game. Another exciting match was played be- tween Al Pennoyer and Austin Hendry and M. Dillon and George Hutchinson, the two former winning the final game by one ace. At the Occidental court the attraction was a match between J. M. Currier and T. Fennessy of the Acme Club and T. F. Bonnet and H. French. It was closely contested from start to finish and was won by Currier and Fennessy. The last rub between Bonnet and Kil- gallon has been postponed till Wednesday niim, September 11. mong the interesting matches played in the Union court was one between James Nelson and Terry McManus and Kelly and R.

Cole & Co.) 117-123 Geary Street DOCTOR SWEANY. HIS OLD RELIABLE SPE- cialist needs no introduction or recommendation to the sick and afficted of San Francisco and the Pacific Coast. For many years his offices have been lo- cated at 737 Market street, oppo- site “The Examiner” office. He is a graduate of the best medical colleges in the world, and has made a life-long study and prac- tice, in famous hospitals and elsewhere, of Nervous, Chronic and Private Diseases of men and women. His well-known name is a sufficient guarantee of a per- fect cure of every case he under- takes. Have you A SECRET? Does it concern your health, and all that de- pends upon your healih ? Does it trouble ana perplex you until your head aches and, your heart seems too full to hold it? 1Is your manhood trembling in the balance ? Do you feel the need of sympathy, counsel and aid ? Then come to Dr. Sweany, and, in sacred con- fidence, tell him all. He will do more than help you keep your se- cret. He will help you to forget it. Diseases fully cured soon cease to be even matters of memory. Don’t confess to your family. It will only cause them shame and grief. Don’t tell your closest friend. Friendships are not always lasting, and the temptation to gossip is great. If you cannotcome to San Francisco write Dr. Sweany fully and freely, with the assurance that your leiter will be kept carefully concealed from curious eyes.
