S e THE OARSMEN. Scullers Who Will Meet at the Sac- ramento Regatta, The oarsmen of the City are looking anxiously forward to the regatta which will be held at Sacramento on Admission day. In all probability the following clubs will be represented: The Pioneers, South Ends, Stockton Athletic Associa- tion, Ariels and Sacramento boat clubs. The greatest interest of this regatta is centered in the senior four-oared barge race between the Pioneer and South End crews. “Pop”’ Brennan, the Pioneers’ coach and trainer, has charge of the crews, and the changes he has made in them and their method of traimng are plainly no- ticeable, The senior crew has been considerably strengthiened and is now the finest crew the Pioneers have ever turned out. Fred Orr, who is bow and captain, knows all the tricks of the profession_from the time be was the club’s coxswain; Coney L. Ochs, who occupies the afterwaist siide, is one of the strongest barge oarsmen on the coast; George Callopy, who rows forward- Walst, is one of the club’s mainstays, and has been seen in every race of any import- ance in years past; undoubtedly the great- est oarsman in the boat is John Clifford, the stroke—he was a member of the South Ends’ champion crew of 1891, The pride of the crew is their new coxswain, little George Fitzsimmons, whom they expect to guide them to victory when they meet the South Enas, whose personnel is as follows: Henry Bode, bow; Bob McArthur, for- wardwaist and captain; Gus Carson, after- waist; Frank Duplissea, stroke; George McGrill, coxswain. . Ed McCausland. the Ariels’ boy wonder in the single scull, will make a bold at- tempt to win the senior single-scull event. Although he is not yet out of his teens, he holds the junior championshipof the coast in the single scull. He will be the “Ariels’ only representative at the Sacramento regatta. Sl SEA FISHING. With the Departure of Heavy Tides Good Sport Should Result. Rockeod fishing continues excellent on shore. catches have been made, particularly in the vicinity of Point Cavallo and Lime Point, where fish of very large size have been taken.

RUTHERFORD. SAN JOSE SPORTING. Driscoll, who ny with De An Angler Who Was Surprised by a Rattlesnake—Wheel and Gun. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 6.—Aside from the in- terest awakened in the coming meets among wheelmen, sports of all kinds are dormant in | the Garden City. Ed Gossamer, while fishing during the week on the Ysabel, had a rather peculiar experi: ence. He hooked a twelve-inch trout, and in landing it it fell off the hook among some rocks ten feet from the creek. As he started to pick it up he heard the rattle of a snake, and a moment later saw the fish struck | by an immense rattler. He secured a club and dispatched the serpent, which measured about three feet in length and had thirteen rattles and a bution. The fish soon after being struck turned a deep-sea green, and swelled up until its skin was about to break. It weighed a pound and & quarter, and_has been preserved in alcohol. Gossamer will keep the fish, snake- skin and rattles as a trophy. But little trout-fishing is being done, al- though parties who have gone out during the st week have caught good messes. Most of sh taken are of a better size than those 1 earlier in the season, and the searcity of food in the s ms is the cause of the old fish rising for the fly. The sportsmen who stampeded to Capitola 1ast week on reading in the papers that salmon were being caught in large numbers were sadly disappointed. They say that not more than three or four fish were caught on any day, and they were small, The all-absorbing topic is the coming meet of the Garden City Cyclers on Admission day. The entries, which number about eighty, in- clude all the fast riders in the State. The pro- gramme of events is as follows: One mile, scratch, class B; two-thirds of a mile, handi- cap, class B; half mile, seratch, class’ A; one mile, hendicap, class A; tandem, one mile, scratch, class Sunday the cyclers hold a run to Alum Rock, and it is expected that & great many visiting wheelmen will participate in the run. The San Jose Road Ciub holds a meet at Gil- roy on the 10th and on the day following they will meet in this City. A great many of the wheelmen entered in the eyciers meet will ride in the Gilroy races. The events are: One mile scratch, class A ; five-mile handicap, class A; one mile scratch, class B; two-mile handi- cap, class B. All the fast horses on the circuit have been entered in the week's racing, which begins here on September 24, under the auspices of the Santa Clara Agricultural Association, and the reces promise to be the best ever held here. On the 23d a bicyele meet will be held for the benefit of the association. i g, SPORTS AT HEALDSBURG, Bicycle Races That Will Take Place on Sunday—A Boar Hunt. HEALDSBURG, CAL..

RECLAIMING THE LANDS, Survey of a Portion of the Sacramento River J - Completed. Engineer Heuer Has Not Yet Re- celved Any Plats From His Asslistants. For some time past a force of thirteen surveyors under one of United States En- gineer William H. Heuer’s assistants, Fred G. Brown, has been at work on the Sacramento River making a survey from Redding to Red Bluff. Major Heuer is the Government officer in charge of the California flood rivers, and the object of the survey is to see what can be done toward straightening the channel of the river here and there and reclaiming the overflowed lands. The movement for reclamation was in- augurated by the Swamp-land Owners’ Association. This body, it will be re- membered, was in convention at Sacra- mento last February, and its representa- tives succeeded in having A. H. Rose's bill in the State Legislature defeated by actiye lobby work. At that time a _committee was appointed. with Thomas H. Williams of this City as chairman, to call at some future time a meeting to recommend a continuous em of drainage for the { Sacramento Valley. This committee is | now awaiting the results of the survey ‘which Major Heuer has just had made, Mr. Williams says. A. H. Rose’s bill contemplated a canal through the Solano and Yolo basins, but of such a character that it would not suc- cessfully drain the overflowed lands there, according to Mr. Williams, notwithstand- reason the swamp-land owners opposed it. Quite & number of different schemes for reclamation have been proposed, and sev- eral are still under consideration. One is to have the main channel of the river torned back into Steamboat Slough, which would straighten it very much, seeing that | the main channel now runs around by way of Old River. Another is to makea | Vista. Still another was to run a canal on the west side of the river, tapping the | Sacramento above Colusa, and after cro | ing Cache Creek cutting through the Den- | verton ridge and emptying into Suisun | Bay. To this last-mentioned provosition Warren Dutton, who owns 16,000 acres of marsh lands in Suisun Bay, is strongly opposed. John W. Ferris of this City and Emery Upham of Collinsville are very much in- terested in the work of reclamati Ferris owns considerable land on Grand Isiand, near Rio Vista, and opposite V nut Grove. All he could say yesterday was that a survey was being made by Major Huer. Major Heuer was not in a position to | give out information other than to say the survey irom Redding to Red thf{wns completed, because he had not received any plats or data. sl gl tah L PASSED BAD NOTES. William Thomas Caught and Held by a Woman. William Thomas, who has been for some time suspected of being the passer of several bogus notes which have suddenly appeared in some of the small stores of the City, was arrested on Stevenson street, near Third, last evening. A woman upon whom he had tried to pass a counterfeit note had hold of him by the waist with one hand, while she held the bad note in the other. Whnen Thomas was searched two more counterieit notes were found upon him. He was charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

REGENTS MUST NOW DECIDE. The Vote Stood Eleven to Two In Favor of the Mayor’s Exten- sive Gift. The committee appointed by the last session of the Legislature to select a site for the Affiliated Colleges bas completed its work. An almost unanimous report accepting Mr. Sutro’s offer of thirteen and a half acres was made at a meeting held at the office of Dr. Cole last night, although Regents Houghton, Marye and Phelps, members of the committee, refused to go on record as favoring either site. Dr. Cole, chairman of the committee, called the meeting to order, the rollcall showing the following members present: Judge Evans, Dr. Cole, Dr. McNutt, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Swan, Dr. Williamnson, F. A. Beckett, Professor Green, ProfessorWenzel, Professor Searby, Dr. Dunbar, Dr. God- dard, Dr. d’Ancona, Regents Hougnton, Marye and Phelps, and the chairman stated that the time had now come for a tinal vote, so far as that committee was concerned, and requested that the several committees read their reports. Dr. McNutt in a calm, leisurely and for- cible way read the reporton the Potrero site, dwelling at length on its easy accessi- bility, its nearness to the hospital, where a full clinic was assured, and its central location, arguing that the trend of growth was in_that direction. Professor Beckett of the College of Pharmacy followed with a lengthy and equally forcible argument in behalf of the Sutro site. He alluded tothe fact that the medical college had indorsed the site by a vote of 11 to 3, while the col- leges of Law, Pharmacy and Dentistry had been unanimous in favoring the site which he advocated. ; Then came the interesting moment. Dr, d’Ancona moved the acceptance of the Sutro site, Professor Green seconding the motion. Some discussion followed, every phase of the situation being thoroughly canvassed, and all the arguments for and against the acceptance of the Sutro site being repeated. Dr. Taylor was opposed to its acceptance on account of the di | tance and the inability to secure a clini He was followed by Dr. Swan, Judge Evans and Dr. Cole in speeches replete with arguments favoring Sutro’s generons offer. “There isno man more familiar with this subject than I am,” said Dr. Oole, referring to the argument advanced thata proper clinic could not be secured if the college was built near the park. “At North Beach we had a clinic, full to over- flowing, and it was on account of the i Iaor | accommodations that we were forced to s. seek other quart The dispensary was | then established in the Potrero, imme- | diately opposite the now so strongly advocated by Dr. McNutt. The hospital | failed to furnish us the patients we expected, and in consequence of this, we were forced to move to our present location at the corner of New Montgomery and Howard streets. i “I submit, gentlemen, that this col!e;ie should not be put in the midst of candle factories, soap factories and similar insti- tutions. I am a strong believer in the dignity of location.” Then came the moment for the final vote, but before the roil could be called General Houghton said : “I must ask the committee to excuse me from expreseing my opinion at this time. I see that this matter will ultimately be referred to the Board of Regents, and I cannot be both judge and jury.” Mr. Marye and Timothy Guy Phelps sided with the speaker. The rollcall, on the motion of Dr. Dun- bar to accept Sutro’s ofier resulted as follows: For Sutro’s tract—Evans, Cole, Swan, Wil- liamson, Beckett, Green, Wenzel, Searby, Dun- bar, Goddard, D’ Ancona—11. For Potrero—McNutt, Taylor—2, . An effort was then made by Mr. Becket: to bring Drs. McNutt and Taylor into line, but these gentlemen would have none of it. Dr. McNutt stated in language that left no room for doubt that he fayored the Potrero site first, last and | all the time, and that until the regents decided otherwise he would continue to champion its cause. Dr. MeNutt will file with the rezents a minority report. The following committee was appointed to formally notify the regents of the decision and also to thank John Center for his generous offer: Dr. Dunbar, F. A. Beckett, Judge Evans and Dr. Cole. TENPERANCE AND VIGOR The Great Athletic Field Day Arranged by the League of the Cross. Monday Several Thousand Cadets and Frlends Go to Scheutzen Park. The field day to be beld at Schuetzen’s Park on Monday next under the auspices of the League of the Cross Cadets promises to be one of the grandest events ever given uunder the auspices of the regiment. For the past two mounths committees have been hard at work arranging details for the affair, which will be one of the first of its kind ever-held in this State. The entire regiment of ten companies will take pgrt in the athletic events to be contested. Orders have been 1ssued for the regiment to assemble at Golden Gate and Van Ness avenues at 8:15 o’clock Mon- day morning. Headed by Blanchard’s band of twenty pieces the cadets will march down Golden Gate avenue to Mar- ket street aud down Market to the Tiburon ferry, where the 9:20 o'clock boat will be taken to Schuetzen Park. About 500 members in all are expected to parade. In addition to the cadets the members of the different branches of the League of the Cross will attend the.celebration at the park, so that altogether several thousand young men and boys interested in the cause of temperance will meet on Admis- sion day at Schuetzen Park. After arriv- ing at the park a short rest Will be taken before the events of the day will take place. The field and track events, of which there are twelve, will be open to competition be- tween members of the cadets only. Each company has entered three men for each event,’and as this is the first oc- casion that the entire regiment has met in athletic games the rivalry is naturally very keen and the interest very intense as to the outcome. To the winners of the various events several yaluable and hand- some gold medals will be awarded. The principal prize that each company is de- sirous of carrying off, however, is the silk pennant to be given the company winning the greatest number of points. The events to be contested will consist of the following: 100-yard dash, 220-yard dnlh,“o-{lrd dash, one-mile run, one-mife walk, one-mile bicycle race, putting the shot, throwing the hammer, running broad jump, running high jump, hop, step and jump, : Prominent athletes from the Olympic Club and 8t. Mary’s College will act as judges, starters, referees, etc. There isalso 0 be a tug-of-war between the members of the First and Second battalions. Each battalion will enter a team of ten men to ‘help pull the side w glory and to the pos- session of a very useful trophy. These events over a programme of races has been arranged, open to all comers. members of the L. C.C. excepted. This programme consists of races for boys, girls, young ladies, young men, married men, married women, members of the junior branches of the League of the Cross, mem- bers of the league executive committee, rofessionals, three-legged races, compan- on races, etc. Two prizes for each of the above races will be given to those coming in first and second. Blanchard’s band will be in attendance at the Pavilion all day. Boats leave at 9:20, 11, 12:35 and 3:35 o'clock. Tickets will be on sale at the ferry only on the morning of the event. All'in all, an en- joyable and interesting day is promised to every one who attends the celebration. ARRIVAL OF RABBI FRYER. His Coming Grested by Many Manifestations of Cor- diality. WIlIl Not Make His First Public Appearance Until a Week From To-Day. Rabbi Julius Fryer, who has been se- lected as the spiritual mentor of the Con- gregation Ohabai Shalome, arrived from his former home 1n Cleveland yesterday morning, and was accompanied by his sister, Bertha. They were met on the Oakland side by President Altmayer and other.officers of the congregation and by a large delegation of the members. The new-comers were escorted to the residence of Mrs. Taubles, corner of Geary and La- guna streets, where, for the time being, they will make their home. In the evening an informal reception took place in the parlors of the rabbi’s hostess, among those who called to pay their respects being all the officers of the congregation, President Sol Adler of the auxiliary committee, Miss Adler, secrgtary of the auxiliary, and Ben Frankenberg, chairman of the reception committee of that body. < o In conversation with the rabbi he said: I understand that the congregation which I am to serve, while not what might be termed ultra-orthodox, is yet with strong leanings to pure orthodoxy, which views are well in ac- cord with my own. Of course, there will probably be some modi- fications in the services,so far as the ceremo- nial part of them is concerned, but whatever is done in this connection will be with a view of beuefilln§ the congregation as a whole and with the full approval of\the trustees, I shall take a decided and active interestin the auxiliary, as I fully realize the importance of attracting to our membership the younger generation, and I shall also endeavor 10 insti- tute and have maintaived a Sabbath-school for the proper instruction of the juyenile element in the doctrines ot Judaism. The rabbi explained. his arrival on an earlier date than was expected, by stating that he left so as to avoid traveling on the Sabbath. He will attend the services to- morrow at Golden Gate Hall, but will not officiate in any capacity. His first public appearance will be on Saturday, September 14, when he will preach the final sermon in the present place of worship. On the following day he will take the principal part in the dedi- catory ceremonies pertaining to the new synagogue on Bush street, near Laguna, and will also be duly installed. On Wednesday evening, September 18, he will regularly officiate in the New Year services. Rabbi Fryer is the youngest and the only American-born rabbi who has ever regularly officiated in this City. He was born in Cleveland and is about 26 years of age. Heis of handsome appearance and unmarried. A CORNER IN LIMES. The Mexican Product Will Be Forced Up 300 Per Cent by a Market Combination. . There is going to be an advance in the price of limes. The Mexican fruit that for vears has bezn retailed at 5 cents a dozen is going to jump to the dignity of the price of first-class lemons. The limes will cost 15 cents a dozen in a week or two. All the limes brought to this port are from Acapulco, and the trade is entirely controlled by a few firms—J. Ivancovich & 1., Garcia & Maggini, L. G. Sresovich, vabrera & Sutter, L. F. Lastreto, A. Levy & Coa. and L. Benuss On the steamer City of Panama, which arrived from Acapulco a few days ago, these importers obtained 1000 boxes of limes. There are about 1000 of the limes in each box, making 1,000,000 of them in all for California and the Pacific Coast trade. Ivancovich & Co. and Garcia & Maggini formed a combination and succeeded in buying out all the other importers except- irg Sresovich. They also bargained for the cargo now on the way, which will amount to about 800 boxes, and Sresovich, who was not prepared for such a move, will be the only competitor and with a small stock. The dealers say that the fruit, which has been selling at $2 50 a box, has already gone up to $5 a box and that next week the price will reach $7 at least. The retail price will be higher than it has ever been in this City, for a market com- bination on limes has not been made here before.

Whipple, who was stopping at 1136 Penn- sylvania street, Lawrence, Kans., to amedi- cine, for which were claimed valuable quali- ties for diseases and ailments that seemed to fit her case. She was then living in Michigan, and it was some time before she got around to taking the medicine, but in December, 1893, she began, and has, since that time, become a well woman, Mrs. Whipple never tires telling about the remedy that helped her so much, and when called on by the reporter was glad to give the desired informaticn about her case. She said that in_December, 1893, she first commenced to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. At times she would be so dizzy- headed and so very nervous that she couid hardly get around. She had spelis of numb- ness, a pin stuck into her body zroduclng no feeling whatever. After she took one box of Pink Pills she felta FWd deal better, but kept on taking them until four boxes had neen used, when she found herself completely cured. She no longer feels any dizziness or numbness, and feels as though it was a duty 1o make known to every one her happy experience with Pink Pills. Not only in justice to the proprietors does she gladly do this on every occasion, but that those similarly aflicted may learn where to look for a mmadfl for every nervous disease. She recommends the Pink Pills highly, aud thinks that they also cured her of nervousness. Mrs. Whipple is getting well along in ears, and for a time was almost helpless. {Vhen she began taking Pink Piils her youth seemed to return, and she was strong and hearty again. She lives at her Michigan home, but nua%een staying with her relatives in Lawrence for over six months, and besides mclumlnieths praises of Pink Pills from ger home, she speaks of them wherever she is acquainted. . r. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con- densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and re- store shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as "t' presgions, irregularities and all forms of weak- ness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes only at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 50, and may be had of all drug- flm or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ edicine Company, Schenectady, N.

RVER STEAMER RATES, Looking After the Water Transportation Companies’ Charges. The Railroad Commission’s Re- quests Are ignored by the Steamboat People. 1t is reported that the Railroad Com- mission, after it has finished the question of the Southern Pacific Company’s freight the river steamers. Some time ago the commis- sion sent notices to the S8acramento Trans- portation Company, steamers Gold, Zin- fandel and Napa City, California Trans- portation Company, California Navigation and Improvement Company, Union Trans- portation Compauy and the Wilthington Transportation Company, asking for an annual report of their freight and fares. All the companies except the last two ie- nored the order. The time for fillng the reports this year expired last Saturday, and up to that time notone of the navi- ation companies had complied with the fnw making all transportation companies within the State subject to the jurisdiction of the Raiiroad Commission. ~ The Wil- mington Transportation Company bases its refusal on the Sawyer decision, that the commission had no jurisdiction over ves- sels that go beyond the three-mile limit. Mr. La Rue states that while there is no immediate necessity to regulate river steamer freights and fares, there is a mat- ter of greater importance that will soon affect the people of the San Joaquin Val- ley. The law that when rival companies reduce their rates they can never be raised again was enforced against the Southern l{c fic in the Oakland passenger business, but when the rival Stockton steamers put down their fares and freights to run each other out of the river no effort was made by former Commissioners to keep them down. “Posaiblg this matter was never at- tended to,” said Mr. La Rue, ‘‘because the Stockton boats were always considered as the competitors of the Southern Pacific, and any attempt to regulate their rates would have been regarded as a thrust ata Soutbern Pacific rival. But now a new danger may be seen. To compete with the Valley road the Southern Pacific may put on a line of San Joaquin River stean ers, with freights and fares next to noth- ing, and force the Valley road boats out of business. & : “The present Railroad Commission will endeavor to bring all river steamers under its control, as provided by law. It will record the present rates of lreiifihu and fares, so that all future cuts will be per- "fi'“""y" and the people can profit them.' Section 14 of the act of 1880 defines “transportation comvanies” as: First—All companies owning and operating gflgudu (other lilun street rfllto&dsrwimln e tate. Second—All companies owning and operat- ing steamships engaged in the transportation of freight and passengers from and to ports within this State. Third—All companies owning and operating steamboats used in transporting freight or pas- sengers upon the rivers or inland waters of this State. The word company, as used in this act, shail be deemed to mean and include corporations, associations, partnerships, trustees, agents, assignees and individuals. Whenever any rail- roed company owns and operates, in connece tion with its road and for the purpose of trans- porting its cars, frelght or passengers, any steemer or other watercrait, such steamer or other watercraft shall be deemed a part of its snid road. Whenever any steamship or steam- boat company owns and operates any barge, canal-boat, steamer, tug, ferry-boat or lighter in connection with its*ships or boats, the things so owned and operated shell be deemed to be part of its main line. e — Ludden Held to Answer.
