The Comanche? Old residents of San Francisco remember her well. Her his- tory is somehow woven in with the his- tory of the City and the coast. Ask some old pilot about the Comanche and the smiling response would likely be, “Why, lad, the Comanche was the first and only ironclad in history to be sunk by a wooden vessel.” And it’s all very true, only tnat a little explanation is necessary. The Comanche? Why, she was the fore. runner of iron vesgel building in the West —the first ironclad ever seen in Pacific waters. The material which figured in her make-up was brought around the Horn as the cargo of the ship Aquilla. She arrived in pieces and the pieces were put together down at the foot of Third street by the firm of Donalue, Secor & Ryan. But then between the shipping of the materials and the completion of the craft came a series of events that are brimful of interest, especially now that the monitor | is about to exhibit her turret again on the | waters in which every part of her was so long ago baptized by immersion. San Francisco looked eagerly forward to the arrival of the Aquilla, and when on the 10th of November, 1863, the big wooden ship sailed into port no little enthusiasm was manifested. ‘*The heart of every loyal man in the City was made glad,” declares a newspaper of the day—and no wonder. The war was raging at the time and there was feverish excilement on the slope, although far removed from the scene of conflict. San Francisco Bay was in need of a defender of just this formidable type to put its security beyond the question of doubt, and the fulfillment of the City’s de- it near at hand. he Aquilla was 163 days on her journey. 8he had been convoved from New York 0 a point some degrees below the equator by the United States steamship Ina. She had breasted aviolent gale a month before reaching her destination. As she plided in through the Golden Gate and anchored in_ the peaceful bay it may be suBposed that Lier captain deemed the Aguiila’s trials at an end, cerned the delivery of her cargo on side of the continent; when, in fact, her worst troubles were about {0 begin ere she | landed a pound of ber freight. The fie: southeast gale of November, | 1863, is still recalled by old-timers along the bay. It setin about dusk of Saturday, his | November 14, and through the night in- | creased in violence until the crait on the bay were knocked about like cockleshells. The British ship Isca dragged her anchors and swung on to Rincon Rock. The | Aquilla, having her headlines carried off, | ran afoul of the Isca, but, her stern lines holding, she was saved from the British- er’s fate.

The Laurel Hill Association Complains to the Supervisors. The Laurel Hill Cemetery Association sent a strong protest to the Board of Supervisors yesterday regarding the sewer work on California street, between Central avenue and Walnut street. The communication stated that by a resolution adopted December 31, 1894, a sewer had been ordered laid in the street between the thofoughfares named and the James D. Phelan, Pres | stitute of Art, San'Francisco—DEAR Stk: I have ordered shipped from Great Barrington a pic- | ture by Benjamin Constant addressed to your institution, which on arrival please accept With my best wishes for the welfare of the in- stitute. Wishing you the compliments of the | | season 1 am yours, very truly, E.F. SEARLES. | This shows that Mr, Searles has not for- | gotten the association, and that he keeps | up his frequent gifts of pictures and sculp- | tures. Benjamin Constant is one of the | great masters of modern times, and the picture referred to, no doubt, is an excel- lent work, as Mr. Searles is well known as i a conn oiseur and critic. In the will of the late Mrs. Dr. Toland there 13 a provision bequeathing to the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art all her sketches, the work of first-rate Eastern artists, which were used for the illustra- tion of her books, and also the income from the sale of her books. The artists’ portfolio which wiil be pre- sented to Mr. Searles by the San Francisco artists as a mark of their esteem and ap- preciation is nearly ready. Several of the gentlemen interested in the Art Associa- tion have subscribed $1000 and have com- missioned Rupert Schmid to model from life a bust of Mr. Searles for the Art Association. Mr. Searles has been asked to give the sculptor a sitting, and he will no doubt comply with this complimentary request. In addition to the foregoing the Art In- stitute is just in receipt of some ver | costly books donated by Mr. and Mrs, S. | P. Avery and the trustees of the Columbia | College in New York City. One of the most valuable of the lot is a complete cata- logue of the famous Avery Architectural Library. Thisisa large volume of nearly 1200 pages and one of a very limited edi- tion. fi bears the following title-page: CATALOGUE OF THE AVERY ARCHITECTURAL LIBRARY. A MEMORIAL LIERARY OF ARCHITECTURE, ARCHEOLOGY AND DECORATIVE ART. ook LIBRARY OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE NEW YORK: MDCCCXCV. {Another very valuable contribution from Mr. and Mrs. Avery is a royal folio volume of “The Gems of Stuart Newton, R. A.,’ edited by Henry Murray, and published in 1842. SBome of the very finest of metal engmvlnis are contained in this volume, which is highly appreciated by the artists, Another book of the lot is ‘“The Masters Mark Hopkins In- of Wood Engraving,” by W. J. Linton. This is also a very valuable volume. In truth the Art Institute considers itself for- tunate in receiving both these highly rized contributions. Mr. Avery is the rother of the Art Association’s first resident, who was one time editor of the ulletin, SHORT LESSONS IN HORSE GUIDANC;E. THH START. To start right is half the trip. The other half depends upon doing right, keeping to the right, and supplement the horse's sense with your own. The majority of accidents from careless driving that ocour in this City every day are the result of something wrong at the start. So pe sure you start right. Look the turnout over carefully before you enter the vebicle, and see that every- thing is shipshape. Is the hitching-strap in its place? If the guard to your vehicle is low give the strap a half-hitch about the fender. It isawkward to find, justas you wish to tie, that it has fallen out and disappeared. Cast your eyes over the har ness. If you are not able to tell ata glance whether every strap is right you are not competerit to undertake the guidance of a horse. In doing it you are putting your own life and the lives of others in jeopardy. The points to be noted as the most frequent seats of accident are the holdbacks, the shaft-band and the shoulder-strap where it buckles to the breastplate. The most careful stable- man will sometimes leave a holdback unbuckled. See that the reins are buckled securely. ing Give a thought to thehorse. Note if breastplate or saddle-girths seem to be galling him, if there are marks on legs or ankles of his having struck, overreached or inter- READY FOR THE START. fered on his last trip.
