Dickie’s Interesting Lecture Before the Me- chanics’ Institute. The Naval Architect’s First Work in | Designing a Battleship Graph- ically Described. An audience that filled every available seat in the lecture-room of the ]xbrgry building of the Mechanics’ Institute list- ened attentively to an exceedingly inter- esting and instructive lecture by George W. Dickie last evening. Mr. Dickie’s sub- ect was A Man.and a Man-of-War.” He was peculiarly fitted to handle the tovic, being manager of the Tnion Iron Works, where some of the finest warships have been constructed, and 1n its treatment he outlined the principles of shipbuilding, ikening them meanwhile to theunderlylvng principles of man’s life, The gpenker_m— terlarded his remarks on tha mecbanioal -alities of the ship-building art with comparisons of man to ‘a nian-af-war. hat portion of the speaker’s remarks con- cerning the construction of warships was in part as follows: Twenty-xix years 8go I stood before the first audience 1 ever faced in California in the Me- chanics’ Institute.

Market street presente2 an animated ap- pearance last night, crowded as it was by holiday buyers who were taking advan- tage of the pleasant weather to make their purchases 1n comfort, instead of taking chances on the rain that generally comes Christmas week. All the stores handling holiday goods were open, even the great estaplishment of J. J. O’Brien & Co., which closes promptly at 6. o'clock any other time of the year, and which on this occasion seemed the main objective point of endless streams of humanity converging from every direc- tion. Passing with the crowd through the broad portals of this great store a brilliant scene of bewildering loveliness was Te- vealed, for a limitless profusion of the richest, rarest and most novel productions in dress goods, silks, velvets, laces, cloaks, | ribbons, glov handkerchiefs, hosiery, | underwear, men’s furnishings, silkk um- | brellas, curtains, portieres, fine linens, lace | bed sets, head rests, shopping-bags, purses, | fur sets, feather boas, books, games, toys, etc., were shown, and their full attractive- ness was brought out by the flood of light | cast over everything by the new lighting | system just putin. | This tem embraces nearly 200 of the | new Welsbach gasburner, and Mr. O’Brien | was as enthusiastic over its success as he | was over the immense business transacted, | saying that it surpassed any system of artificial lighting he had ever tried—in fact, was the next best thing to daylight, | as its soft, steady.glow enabled the most delicate tints and shadows to be distin- guished as readily in the evening as at | noonday. | HOBART A DIRECTOR. ;‘l‘he Young .‘\l;lhun-lr: Horseman to | Become Interested in Ingleside | Track. Walter Hobart, the young millionaire horse fancier and winner of the greatest | number of premiums ever attached to one | man's string ata horse show, is about to | enlarge the sphere of his operations in the equine world. He is shortly to become a stockholder and to be made a director of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club. The young man’s extraordinary success at the recent horse show prompted him to enter a string at Ingleside. | followed him and he became very enthu- | siastic over the track and expressed a de- | sire to become interested. The stock- holders discussed the matter and decided to offer him a place on the board of direc- tors. The idea met with Mr. Hobart’s ap- vroval an d he announced’ that he would take a block of stock and accept the prof- sered directorship. A meeting of the stock- holders has been Galled, when action pro- viding for an ‘additional ‘member to the board of directors will be taken and Mr. Hobart elected to fill the position. —————— CHrISTMAS cards, calendars, California sou- S ildren’s books: No such assort. ,'nfi{‘:?%eflmgnn elsewhere. Sanborn, v‘;u & Co. His good luck |. WON N HOLLOW STYLE, Bright Pheebus, the Realization Winner, Had an Easy Victory. CLEVERLY HANDLED BY MILLER. A Score of Bookmakers Kept Busy Handling the Coin at Ingle- side Yesterday. The Realization winner, Bright Phaebus, showed something of his true caliber in the mile and a furlong handicap at Ingle- side yesterday. Let in at 115 pounds he was slightly favored in*he betting over Pevper, and, after Miller had waited on his field until the stretch was reached, he gave him his head and millionaire Hobart’s horse galloped over the top of his field, winning bands down from the light- weighted Polaski, who had been making all of the running. Pepper, who pressed Bright Pheebus hard for first choice honors in the ring, was a good third. The win- ner was cleverly handled by George Milier and his victory was a most popular one. Neither Santiago wor Cadmus, who were backed at long odds, showed fo much ad- vantage. The programme furnished by the new jockey club was an excellent one, and a large crowd was in attendance. Twenty bookmakers were doing business in the ring, and all did a big business. The day’s sport was marred by no accidents, and, | although a couple of the hurdle-riders re- ceived hard falls, neither was seriously in- jured. It was a good day for favorites, four of the first choices finishing in front. William Pinkerton, the 3 to 1 favorite in the opening race for two-year-olds, ridden by Sam Doggett, won very handily from Adolph Spreckels after leading most of the distance. Hazard was third 1 a drive. Getting away third in the next race at six furlongs, tKeS to 5 favorite Morven led all the way and won by a. length from Abi P. Road Runner at good odds was third, a head away. 2 The Eastern horse, Lismore, who ac- cording to hearsay is a wonder, was a 214510 1 fayorite for the third race, and managéd to finish third. Sir Richard, the | gray horse, was a strong second choice, | and did not have speed enough with him | to raise a gallop. Emma D, a country fair sprinter and a 10 to 1 shot in the betting, passed Oregon Eclipse aftera fur- long ha(Y been traversed, and won from “Doc’”’ Robbins’ horse by a length. Yemen was third. Jack Atkins can blame the defeat of his good filly, Belle Boyd, in the mile and a furlong selling event to young Slaughter, who rode her. After he had led all the way Barney Schreiber’s lightweight let Jones on the even money favorite, Wheel of Fortune, slip through mnext the rail seventy yards from the wire and was beaten out a neck in 1:55}¢. Strathmeath, the second choice, was a good third. Belle | Boyd was an 8 to 1 chance in the betting. |~ The mile and a half hurdle race resulted in an easy victory for the elastic Mestor, a5 to 1 chance in the betting, who marched past his field in the stretch and won | easily by two lengths. J O C.the 11 to 5 favorite, was second, half a length in front of Esperance. Soon Enough, who had been making the running, fell taking the last hurdle. Track and Items, The race for gentlemen riders on Thurs- day next over six furlongs promises to be a great attraction. The following well- known horsemen will have mounts R. J. Tobin, W. 8. Hobart, . Simpkins, Harry Dimond, M. J. Burmeister, Mal- colin” Thomas, J. Talbot Clifton, William McCreary, G. Bagot and Frank Skinner. Carleton & Co., Palace Club and Grafton Club helped sweli the number of pencilers in the ring yesterday. Pittsburg Phil and Riley Grannan both backed Bright Phabus to win the handi- cap. Mr. Hobart backed his horse prinei- ;);\51_\ for the place. Centurion pulled up very lame after the second race. His tender feet will bardly do on a hard track. Adolph Spreckels, formerly the Jennie Treacy coit, who finished second in the opening race, was as good as 10 to 1 for the place at one stage of the betting. |~ W. Clancy, who had the mount on Soon | Enough, luckily escaped with a sprained leg when that horse fell taking the last jump in the hurdle-race. _— REVIVAL OF RIBERNIANS, The Order in San Francisco Es- tablishes a Commodious Hall.

This will be the headquarters of the order in San Francisco. Here the members have two well-furnished lodgerooms, a library, reading-room and a billiard hall, with the secretary’s office. In connection with the ecretary’s office a free employment bureau | will soon be established. Here the young men of the order will find recreation and amusemeént evenings instead of frequent- ing less profitable places of amusement or lounging around saloons. *“This new movement of the Hibernians 1s a wise one,” said Rev. D. O.Crowley, chaplain of the order, yesterday. *Itisa step in the right direction and must result in untold bepefits to the order. ““The Hibernians are not organized for the puzpose of aiding Ireland in her strug- gle for national autonomy, though they has established commodious | sympathize with every movement for the betterment of the old land. Their chief aim is to foster and preserve the traditions and virtues of their Celtic ancestors, and to inculcate Jamong the members the principles of faith and fraternity. “Itis not an oath-bound society; the members merely pledge themselves on their word of honor to obey the constitu- tion and by-laws and to assist one another in time of need. “Though essentially a beneficial or- ganization, particular efforts are made for the social and intellectual elevation of 1ts members, With this end in view, a large reading-room is being elaborately fitted up in the new headquarters.” The following history of the develop- | ment and growth of the order was given by Father Crowley : In the year 1737 the “Irish Charitable So- | ciety of Boston’ was established. During the | Revolution the young members did good seryice in the army, and the seniors who re- mained at home, we read in the records of the society, supplied those who were actively en- gaged'in the field with clothing and arms. Some years later than the Boston society, but before the War of Independence, the “Friendly Sons of St. Patrick” were organized in Philadelphia. Many of the members of this organization distinguished themselves in the Continental struggle. Prominent among those were Moylan, Meade, Barry, Hand, Shea, Kelley and Plunkett. During the early spring of 1780, when the army of Washington was in dire distress at Valley Forge, this society of “the Friendly Sons f St. Patrick” contributed $25.000 toward the relief of the “Father of his Country” and the brave soldiers who were suffering in._the cause of liberty. Of this association Washington afterward became an honorary member. Years rolled on and the Friendly Sons changed theirtitle tc* ‘I'he Hibernian Society.” Of this Matthew Carey, the great writer on political economy, was & guiding spirit for many years, and from it in other days the An- cient Order of Hibernians of America was 1argely reeruited. Before the Rebellion the order was strong in many of the States, and the members, generally men’ of strong frame and active habits, were not slow torespond to the call for troops to put down the revoit of the South. From New York they marched with their own chief, Golonel Corcoran; and how they acted in the first en- gagement of the war the story of Bull Run can | tell. They were first in the fight and last on the retreat. Corcoran, while covering the re- treat of the Federals, was taken prisoner with about thirty of the braye Hibernians who re- fused to leave his side. WSuch were the Hibernians, b riefly, in time of war. What they did in time of peace to develop the resources of ‘the United States no tongue can recount. In war they were the de fenders of our National flag; 1n peace they are the producers of our National wealth. Com- ared to them our kid-gloved uristocracy are ut “powdered hairclotn,” It is well, there- | fore, to perpetuate a society that has been pro- ductive of such results. Some of our patriotic | American Celts, it is true, object to its very Irish name, as if a man’s name had anything 10 do with his allegiance to our flag. We are not questioning the patriotism of German citizens because the names of nearly all their societies. are German. The St. An- drew’s Society annually commemorates the glories of Scotland when she was a free Catho- lic nation. The Welsh have also their socie- ties in this free land, and the Sons of St. David still endeavor to inculeate in their new homes many of the virtues of that old Cymnie saint. They do not love the new land less because they cherish the best traditions of the old. The affectionate son generally makes a loyal and devoted husband, and the benediction in which he holds his mother’s memory detracts not & jot or tittle from his love and fidelity to his wiie. We are glad to notice, here in our own beautiful city, a revivai of the grand old Hi- bernian Order, and trust our race will give it their hearty support, not only for what it has | done in the past, but also for the services it | promisesin the future. In the ranks of the |"A. 0. H. of America is notably represented | that type of manly courage which put down the anarchists of New York and Chicago. As | long as the Hibernians entertain an attach- | ment for the customs, traditions and virtues of | their race they are likely to remain with us, & “tower of strength” against the enemies of - re- | ligion, morality and social order. } Kissing Is Baitery in Law. Lena Schultz, 438 Jessie street, whose hus- | band has a saloon at 15 Jessie street, swore to a warrant in Judge Joachimsen’s court yester- day for the arrest of Charles Burkhardt, bar- tender in the saloon. Burkhardt was engaged by her husband three weeks ago, and since then, she alleges, he has annoyed her with his | attentions. A week ago he aftempted to kiss | her and threatened to kill her if she told her husband. Friday night he made another at- | tempt, and she told her husband yesterday | morning.
