10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATUBDAY,. FEBRUARY 1, 1896. THE FIELD OF SPORT. What Sportsmen, Athletes and Cyclists Are Doing. The return of fine weather has given an impetus to all kinds of outdoor sport. ‘The wheelmen are particularly anxious fora run in the country, but as the roads are vet too heavy cycling trips in the interior Will be postponed for some time. Golden Gate Park is in good condition and the run to the CIiff is delightful. The season for shooting small game is rapidly drawing to a close, but it is certain that numbers of quail will be bagged in the next few week The swordsmen will give an exhibition to-morrow at Central Park. A coursing meeting will be held at Ocean View and a Gaelic football mateh will be decided at | Golden Gate Park. el L THE WHEELMEN. Probabllity of Professional Racing at the Indoor Tournament, The indoor racing tournament to be held atthe Mechanics’ Pavilion March 5 to 11 has assumed such definite shape dur- ing the last week that it is now certain to be held. The hall has been engaged, over $1500 worth of prizes have been purcl}ssed and placed in the hands of R. M. Welch, representative of the National racing board, and entry blanks are now in the hands of club secretaries. The manage- ment has gone into the thing deeper ‘than was expected. It has made arrangements to bold a cycle show in conjunction with the racing programme, and stands will be erected around the sides of the pavilion, Several of the large branch houses here have already taken space, the Columbia, March and Monarch people being thus far the largest exhibitors. An attempt will be made to bring some of the crack professional racers here for the tourna- ment. The California Associated Cycling clubs will hold an important meeting this even- ing at the rooms of the Imperial Cycling Club, 614 Van Ness avenue. There is al- ways a great deal of business to transact at the meetings heid this time of the year, with tge annual twenty-five-mile road race and the relav but a few weeks off. It is expected that but few cbanges in the racing rules can be adopted until the League of American Wheelmen’s meeting st Baltimore this month decides whether class B men are amateurs and may com- pete on the road with the riders now de- signated by the term class A. There will be some changes offered for the relay course, it being desired to avoid the neces- sity of finishing the race on the streets of Oskland. Several suggestions in this di- rection will be offered. A special twenty- mile race to decide who shall possess the Baker & Hamilton trophy will also be ar- ranged. § The members of the Alpha (ladies’) Cy- cling Club will appear in the park to-mor- row, if it is pleasant, in their new gray uniforms. They are an improyement over the former blue ones in pattern, style and finish and, as the first lientenant explained to me, *‘any girl will look well in this new suit of our: was forced to admit that it was very becoming, particularly to her. The Alpha Club now numbers. forty mem- bers, all expert riders, and, as they are en- thusiastic over the sport, they can always be seen either in the park or on the coun- try roads. ‘Any one desiring to join the League of American Wheelmen can have mailed to bim an interesting little pamphlet enu- tled, “Objects and Methods of the League of American- Wheelmen,” by addressing the cyeling editor of THE CALL. Applica- | tion blanks can also be had for the askin THE CALL appreciates the work the L. A. W. is doing in the interests of the wheel- men and good roads and the organization should receive the support of every bicycle rider in the State. The date of the annual 100-mile relay | race around the bay this year will be Sun- day, April 5. Most of the relay riders train about three months for the event, so that they will really commence prepara- tory work now. The San Jose Road Club will celebrate its fourth anniversary Tuesday, April 7, &nd a committee has been appointed to ar- range an entertainment in celebration of the occasion. The next meeting of L. A. W. officers will be held Saturday evening, February 8, at the rooms of the Bay City Wheelmen. The club representatives for the year 1396 are: R.M. Welch, H. P. Howard, Bay City Wheelmen; F. L. Seyboldt, Garden City Cyciers; W. O. Bigelow, Terminal City Wheelmen; A. P. Swain, Acme Club ‘Wheelmen. There will be an immense cycle show in Denver February 4 to 8, which will be at- tended by a number of the prominent local dealers. The following is a list of the members of the California Cycling Cilub who bave re- cently joined the League of American Wheelmen: A. C. Lassel “P. Broder, W. R. Reid, F. 8. Nason, ¥.N. Bent, H. P. Egeberg, C. Curieux, J. W. Harvey, E. M. Boyle, C. Mayer, W. Musser, J. D. Cardi- nell, D. D. Doud, H. F. Neunaber, G. F. Burnett, L. M. Tuttle, H. L. Mayo, J. T. Peck, C. U. Birdsall, M. A. Griffith, W. P. Mibach, homas, C. E. Baker, J. Sheridan, A. M. Cook, . Brunt, R. A. Coulter, d Struven, W. O. Johnson, H. B. Williams, L. T. Olson, Don Snedeker, R. 8. Allen. These names were secured upon the oc- casion of the visit of the league committee to the club recently. A second list is being circulated among those who were not pres- ent that evening, and is expected to be quite as large. Some eight or nine wheelmen were ar- rested in the park last Thursday evening for violating the ordinance requiring.them to carry lanterns. Such of them as are members of the League of American Wheelmen are having their cases cared for by F. H. Dunne, attorney for the L. A. W., that being one of the advantages of membership in the organization. The first run of the Camera Club Cyclists for 1896 will take place to-morrow, if the weather is fair, The start will be made at the panhanale entrance to the park at 10 A. 3, throueh to the beach. As the ride is a short one it is expected there will be & number of ladies on the trip. The Camera Club Cyclists will give an informal entertainment Friday evening, February 14 (St. Valentine's), which will be in the form of a progressive euchre party. There will be prizes for the successful con- testants and consolation prizes in the way of souvenirs of some sort, which are liable to take some comic form. By having these entertainments at intervals the cycling annex hopes to keep up the interest of the members during the winter months, when riaing is impracticable. ? The visiting committee of the League of | American Wheelmen was accorded a most flattering reception at the meeting of the Clympic Club Whee!men last Tuesday | evening. There were fully seventy-five : members present and they listened with rapt attention to the league speakers, who | addressed them in the following order: H.W. Spalding, F. H. Kerrigan, R. M. Welch, Charles Michener, . Dunne, | John F. Burke, 8. G. Scovern and G. H. Stratton. Thomas R. Knox made a few bright remarks upon the league in general. F. Wynne was not_present owin {0 & slight illness, which his friends regretted, particularly as he is a most interesting talker. That the visiting committee’s mission was successiul was evidenced at the close of the :meeting, when 8. G. Scovern, G. H. Stratton and Captain W. B. Fawcett, a committee appointed by It is designed to restrict these | gatlierings to club members. but every | member will be privileged to invite a lady. | | | | | | members to the league, secured thirty-six | app'icants, whose names are: Alphonse irsch, T. Hobson, John Me- Glynn, Edwin_Goeller, Paul M. ert, Walter L. H. Geldert, H. C. Hahn. E. Berges. W. C. Corbett, H. 8, Hadenfeldt, M. E. Unger, Frank J. Mec- Cormick, George E. Kroetz, O. H. Hansen, | W. R. McGuire, A. Altenberg, H. V. Scott, . W. Mullen, T. H. Morris, Alfred Cellier, George Bush, George Tantau, John F. Cunningham, Walter Rosie, Thomas R. Edwards, Eugene Unger, H. O. White, L. D. Owens, W. J. Poole, M. L. Espinosa, Allan N. Jones, H. Cosgriff, Charles J. Behlow Jr., 8. Seiler, Charles J. Leighton and Walter B. Fawcett. A large number of the members of the Olympic Club Wheelmen are already mem- bers of the league, which explains why the names of President Adams and Messrs. Thornton, Haley, Fuller, Hunter, Stratton, | Scovern and a great many others are not signed to the above list. After the business of the meeting was finished those present were entertained by a musicale, the talent being secured from among the members. In this way the rest of the evening was passed very enjoyably, and it was a late hour when the meeting adjourned. ’l‘be Imperial Cycling Club’s party last Thursday evening, at Union-square Hall, was particularl en;]oyable, and a large crow: stundeds.' The club is becoming famed among the cycling organizations for the excerlencu of its dancing parties. SPALDING. BOXING. The National Club WIIl Give Its First Exhibition on Friday. An entertainment for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital will be held at the Auditorium Theater on Eddy and Jones streets on Friday evening next. The National Athletic Club, of which J. Ross Jackson is president, has arranged a | very excellent programme of all kinds of | | Danny Needham, Weight 145 Pounds. indoor sports for the occasion. The main feature of the evening will be an eight- round _contest between the clever and hard-punching boxers, Danny Needham of | St. Paul and George Green of this City. | According to an agreement signed by the | boxers, a decision must be given by the | referee as to which of the contestants had | the best of the bout up to the time of its | conclusion. Needham is acknowledged by all good | judges of fisticuffs as being; one of theclev- | erest boxers of the present day. He| proved in his fight with George Dawson | some years ago at the California Club that as a jabber he had no equal. Although | Dawson won the contest by playing a tat- | too on Needham’s ribs which finally told | upon the receiver, the S8t. Paul champion | made a chopping-block of Dawson’s face, | which resembled in_color the setting sun | when the referee declared the match in | favor of Dawson. George Green was a favorite of Cham- George Green (Young Corbett), Weight 145 Pounds. ion Corbett, who predicted for the young lympic boxer a bright future. ~When Green went East he met several good men and defeated five in all, among whom were “Shadow” Maber, Dick Moore and Billy Vernon. He 1s a very shifty boxer, and will nave an ndv&nt:{ga over Need- ham, as he can use both right and left to good advantage. . The contest should certainly prove very interesting as it would be no easy matter to find among the army of boxers such clever exponents of the manly art as Need- ham and Green. The club will also give one six-round contest and two four-round bouts between heavy-weights. There will also be wrestling and fencing. Taken asa whole the entertainment should be well worth seeing, as only the best talent ob- tainable will appear. Tom Sharkey states that he did not steal President Adams to canvass the room for 1 Cbevley Turner's sweetheart, and in fact | the celebrated does not know who Turner's darling is. “I would not have her,” said Sharkey, “if she was the daughter of a prince.” —_—— THE SWORDSMEN. Baron Malchin and Sargeant Davis WI1ll Cross Steel To-Morrow. The much-talked-of sword contest be- tween Baron Malchin, the famous Russian swordsman, and Sergeant Owen Davis of troop A, United States army, will be de- cided to-morrow afternoon at Central Park. Both of those noted swordsmen have won many hard-fought victories, and it Baron Ivan Malchin, the Swordsman. goes without saying that their meeting in Central Park will be the sigral for a,grand exhibition with the steels. According to the agreement which was signed by the contestants a few weeks ago the contest will be twenty-nine rounds mounted and twenty-nine rounds on foot. Davis is unquestionably a splendid horseman and has few superiors as a swordsman. His opponent must certainly be as quick as a flash, judging from his record, whi places him among the champion swordsmen of Russia. Among swordsmen whom the Baron has defeated are V. Bolschiffe, cap- tain of the imperial army; Otto Wulfieus, the instructor of the Imperial Military Academy of Berlin; Emiie Francois of New York, J. Perriette of Minneapolis | and Theo Le Boeuff of Portiand, Or. The match is for §1000 a side and the | championship, and judging from the in- terest that has been manifested in the con- test by military men and those who love to see a good square bout of any kiud Cen- tral Park should be packed with people to-morrow. el R THE ANGLER. Streams That Are in Good Condition for Fishing. The winter anglers, so called, are in hopes of meeting with great success to- morrow. Latesireports from Point Reyes, Sonoma and San Gregorio state that the creeks are running tolerably clear and that some steelheads have been taken al- ready. Four large fish were caught at Point Reyes yesterday, and as the water will be in good condition to-morrow, provided that the weather continues to remain fine, some good sport will' certainly result. James Watt, who was christened at the last meeting of the Rod and Gun Club “Teapot” Watt by John Butler, says that he will be a very much surprised man if he fails to catch less than half a dozen large fish to-morrow at the point. It has been stated on very gooa author- ity that the spearing of steelheads is a pastime which is indulged in to a great extent by certain people who reside not very far away from Lagunitas Creek. The presence of & Deputy Fish Commis- sioner on the banks of the stream may give those law-breakers to understand that the Fish Commission is still in ex- istence. Unless the varent fishes are protected it cannot be expected that good trout fishing will be had in the summer season. At the next meeting of the Legislature the pres- ent law giving anglers a right to catch steelheads in tide waters may be amended | so as to read that all fishes taken in tide | waters by means of hook ana line during | the closed season for trcut fishing must be returned to the water immediately. The large steelnead is not desirable as a food fish and only those anglers who are covetous by nature will object to alaw which requires the immediate return to the stream of breeding fishes. The true sportsman cares only for the pleasure he enjoys in the hooking and playing of a game steelhead. The fish itself is of no value; its flesh is as dry as a chip and al- most flavorless. It can be safely said that every steelhead killed at this season of the year means a loss of several hundred small trout to the stream from which tbe fish has been taken. Kill off the large fishes and you destroy the goose that laid the golden egg. R THE GUN. Splendld Weather for Qualli Shoot- ing—The Ibis Club Case. Bportsmen should certainly make the best of the few weeks that remain of the shooting season, which will close on Feb- ruary 15. Latest reports from Suisun state that mallard ducks are quite plenfi- ful in the Cordelia Club grounds, but that sprig, canvasback, widgeon, etc., are scarce. Numbers of birds have returned to the Alviso marshes, and -some good shooting snould be enjoyed to-day and to- mMOorrow. In the vicinity of Mount Eden two hunters b.fied ‘between fifty and sixty birds yeste nly, principally prig, spoon- bill and bluebill. = Sportsmen who prefer quail shooting to that of popping broadbills from a ‘‘blind”’ in the swamps, should certainly be in the swim during the present spell of fine weather. The birds will now be found on the high lands enjoying the pleasures of a sun bath, where the undergrowth is low and sparse. ! The case of the Ibis Club against some members of the Mallard Club, which was to be heard in the United States District Court in a few days, bas been indefinitely postponed. - CALEDONIAN GAMES. Chlef Crowley Replies to a Request From the Chleftain of the Club. The athletes of the State are looking forward to the great meeting of the | Caledonian Club, which will be heid at | Bhell Mound Park in May next. D. R. McNeil, the energetic and enterprising | chieftain of the club, proposes to give | exceptionally fine prizes at this famous | gatnering of the clans. g = | . Now that the policemen of tkis City will have an opportunity of decreasing “their avoirdupois by exercises on the trapeze, bag-puncbing, etc., an excellent tug-of- war team should be selected from among the stars of the curriculum. The Caledonian Club is in hopes that the Chief of Police will permit a team from the force an opportunity of coutesting for |the grand tug-of-war prize, but the | Chief is evidently afraid that his soldiers Will require more than four months of hard training to put them in condition for any physical exercise that might injure their constitutions and #staying qualities.” In reply toa request from the Caledonian Tub to permit a team of ten men a leave of absence on the occasion of the great #ames day, this is what the Chief says: D. R. McNeil Esq.. Chief Caledonian Club, 111 Larkin street, City—DEAR Sik: Replylng to your note of the 25th inst., stating that the Galedonian Club wiil hold its “grand annual gathering and games” on the last Saturday in May nextat Shell Mound Park, Berkeley, and stating that if entries can be had from the police force your club would offer. suitable special prizes for races and other events in order that police officers may compete, etc., you are informed that the gymnasium for the police force is of such recent construction that their elthletic training up to the time men- tioned will not be of such & character as to eneble them to compete for prizes. Very re- spectiully, P. CROWLEY, Chief of Police. R A iy Football. The postponed game of football, on ac- count of rain last Sunday, will take place between the Emmets and San Fran- ©Ciscos to-morrow afternoon on the recrea- tion grounds, Golden Gate Park. The game will be called at 3 o'clock, sharp, and the following is tue make-up of the teams: Emmets. Position. San Franciscos. Goal... Ahe Reteree—R. Engi et ok The Kennel. Muny of the disgruntled sportsmen who witnessed the field trials at Bakersfield are now discussing the advisability of !grmxngnpoinker club. With the excep- tion of one or two men who are of the opinion that the English setter is the only dog worth having, the majority of the sportsmen who witnessed the finish of the trials say that the pointer Glenbeigh Jr. sht:l_l]d certainly have first prize. Nimrod, the” English_setter, that won first, was bred by C. N. Post, who acted as one of the juages. A. Jackson, C. N. Post and Mr. Pyle of Bakersfield were the judges. Jackson was strongly in favor of gl\'ln§ first prize to the pointer, but Post and Pyle, aiter deliberating over the mat- ter for several hours, decided in favor of the setter, and their decision was not, by any means, favorably received by those who were interested in the contests. S e Coursing. Following are the dogs for Sunday's coursing at Ocean View: P. Ryan’s Ki"fi Pease vs. Potrero kennel’s Georgie Dixon; D. Muleahey’s Foxhall vs. E. Shortstack’s Happy Day; W. L.

SMITH IS NOW RECEIVER, The Atlantic and Pacific Rail- road Passes Into His Hands To-Day. Chester H. Speers Superseded as Local Passenger Agent by John L. Truslow. In accordance with the actions of the United States Circuit Judges in New Mex- ico, Arizona and Southern California, through which the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, which is part of the Santa Fe system, runs, United States Circuit Judge McKenna here, yesterday, appointed C. W. Smith the new receiver. The appointment takes effect to-day and the Atlantic and Pacific road will there- fore pass out of the hands of John J. Mc- Cook and Aldace F. Walker, the former re- ceivers. Joseph C. Wilson, who had been appointed one of the three original re- ceivers, died. Judge McKenna’s action was based upon the recommendations of the counsel for the railroad and the United States Trust Company of New York, both of which are defendants in the suit of the Mercantile Trust Company of New York. Singularly enough, the appointment was not in deference to any expressed wishes of the Mercantile T rust Company, for Mr. Smith hac not been recommended by the plaintiff corporation. Mr. Smith’s bond was fixed at $30,000, and he will be required to file a complete inventory with Special Master Henry L. Warren at once. Mr. Warren will report to the court what compensa- tion shall be made to the old receivers, for no stated amount was fixed when they were appointed. Mr. Smith is fairly well known in this State. He has been interested in the Ba- den Stockyard Com; ent 1 Los Angeles. C. N. Sterry of Albuquerque, general at- torney for the company, and Jobn J. Byrne of Los Angeles, the general passer- ger agent, are both in the City, stopping at the Palace Hotel. Mr. Byrne will in- stall into his new position John J. Trus- low of Santa Barbara, who has been made assistant general passenger agent here to succeed Chester H. Speers. Mr. Truslow 'was general agent in this City some years ago. Lately he has represented his com- pany in Santa Barbara. Mr. Speers goes to Chicago to accept a responsible position in the Santa Fe general offices. He will rEest‘l few weeks in San Diego before going ast. ————— Attorney Treadwell Slapped. Mrs. Mery Oden created.a scene in Judge Low’s court yesterduy morning. It was during the bearing of the case of Mrs. Gilley, charged with disturbing the peace, that Mrs. Oden became so belligerent as to slap the face of Attorney Treadwell. Mrs. Oden was on the stand being subjected to a seyere cross-examin- ation, whnich finally caused her to rush at the offending attorney and give him_two resound- ing IIAPI on the right jaw. Mrs. Oden was promptiy told that she was in contempt of court, but was later released when she apolo- gized and promised to do so no more. pany. He isat pres- | marine sketches at this Tesort. WEDDINGS AND REUNIONS Date Fixed for the Huntington- Holladay Nuptials in New York. A YOUNG MILLIONAIRE TO WED. The Heller Dinner Party—Entre Nous Cotillon at the Palace—South- ern Gayeties. The wedding of Miss Carrie Huntington, the favorite niece of the railroad magnate, C. P. Huntington, and E. Burke Holladay, the young attorney of this City, will be sol- emnized on the 25th of February, at the new Huntington mansion, on FKifth ave- nue, New York. It was originaly in- tended that the wedding shouid be cele- brated on the 15th, but it was found im- possible to have the palatial residence ready for so elaborate an entertainment at =0 early a date. Some idea may be formed of the magnificence of the railroad man’s new home when it is stated that the main entrance is fashioned entirely of onyx and brass and is valuea at $300'000. Each separate apartment of this American pal- ace has been frescoed by prominent native artists and much of the decoration is the work of the celebrated Vedder. H. E. Huntington, brother of the bride, accompaniea by his daughter, Miss Clara Huntington, has gone to New York in a pri- vate car, to be present at the ceremony. Among the other Cgli!ornians who will at- tend are Mrs. Requa'and Miss Amy Requa. The fortunate and happy voung couple will make this City their future home. An interesting engagement to announce is that of Samuel Wormser, the young millionaire of the firm of M. Ehman & Co., to Miss Wertheimer of Pittsburg, Pa. Mr., Wormser is at preseut in New York, where he has gone tc meet his mother and his sister, Mrs. Sussmann, and her family, who have just returned from an extended European visit. Miss Henrietta Meyer will give a luncheon to-day at her homé on California street in honor of visiting friends. Covers will be laid for twelve, % Mrs. William Alvord will give a tea this afternoon at her residence, 2 Broadway. The hours named are from 4 till 6. Mrs. Emanuel Heller gave an elaborate din- ner on Weanesday evening &t her elegant home on Post street in honor of Miss Carrie Friendby, daughter of Mayor Friendby of Eu- gene City, Or., who is at present visiting Miss 4Alice Friedlander. The decorations of the iable were all in delicate tones of pink. A de- liclous menu was discussed by the assembled guests, thirty in number. Another tea to take piace this afternoon, for which a large number of invitations have been issued, is the one to be given by Mrs. A. Bor- rell at her residence, corner of Stockton and Pine streets. ; The Cercle Francaise will give a ball this :}Iefllng in the clubrooms in Union-square all. The Misses Norries gave a delightful dance on Thursday evening last at their home, 1016 South Olive street, Los Angeles, complimentary to their brother, Kobert Norries, who has just returned from & pleasant trip to New Zealand, his native land. Cut flowers and an artistic arrangement of garlands ot red pepper made the rooms look bright and pretty. Dancing to excellent music occupied ihe attention of the guests until midnight, when an elaborate supper was served. Among those present were: Mr.and Mrs. Hawkstorde, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Grieves, Mr.and Mrs. Renshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Wollner, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, Miss Bertha Aunderson, Miss Louise Bandhoit, Miss Katie Connell, Miss Liila Browning, Miss Emmea Browning, Miss Sadie Renshaw, Miss Horgan, Miss A.

Sheldon and Mrs. Sheldon were tendered a genuine old-fashioned surprise ,)uny at their home in Florin by fifty of their riends on the occasion of the forty-second an- niversary of their marriage. The friends of the venerable pastor and his wife met ut-the church and proceeded in a. bod)l' 10 the parson- age, where & most delightful evening was spent, the guests contributing a most enjoyable musical programme. The Entre Nous Cotillon gave their annual fancy dress party at the Palace Hotel last even- ing. In deference to the year the affair was a fancy dress leap vear cotiilon, the ladies hav- ing the favors during the early part of the evening and until the unmasking. Dancing commenced promptly at 9 o'clock and round dances were engaged in for several hours, at the conclusion of which came the unmasking. Then the many couples formed for the german, Sanford G.Lewald acting as leader. The three flfln’es dancedin the german were: “Flags and Lanterns,” ec! ‘‘Parisiou Starand Circle.” Two of these figures were entirely new and were got up for this occasion. They were all very preity and intri- caie, and the richness and varied colors of the costumes added & more than ordinary charm and orilliancy to the figures. Those dancing in the first two sets were: Henry A. Whitley and Mrs. George Graham, Arthur Meussdorifer and Miss A. Sbarboro, F. Gantner and Miss Emma Prosck, Edward J. Bigelow and Miss E. Cudworth, William F. Hook and Miss May Folsom, J. Oscar Canter and Miss Jessie Lyon, William G. Barr and Miss Mamie Ludlow, Clarence Musto and Miss A. Cousins, Gaston Russi and Miss Lotta Musto, W.

Hewer and Miss Beatrice Hughes, J. A. Klein and Miss Charlotte Gruenhagen, Byron D. Bent and Miss Albertha Gruenhagen, Sanford G. Lewald and Miss Sadie Gould. The costumes were very handsome and elab- orate, showing that much care and time had been bestowed upon their preparation, some of the most noticeable being as follows: Miss E. Cudworth, German peasant girl; Miss Netta Creighton, Sfi)nnilh dancing girl; Miss Elinor Croudace, Night; Miss Anna Popp, Queen Eiizabeth; Miss Mamie Ludlow, Queen of the Butierflies: Miss Emma Prosek, Winter; Miss Lotta Musto, Pierrott; Miss Ala jKeenan, Span- ish Princess; Miss A.

At the conclusion of the german all repaired to the supper-room to partake of the various dainties spread before them. After supper round dances were again engaged in until nearly 2 o'clock. The past fortnight at Hotel del Coronado has been extremely gay. The coming fortnight promises even freater gayety. The United States flagship Philadelphia is in the southern harbor and the Albatross is due, in honor of which receptions, hops and a grand charity in- vitation ball are golnned, while numerous wheeling, dr!vinf. ating and hunting par- ties have been formed for & jolly round of sport.

HITE MINE HORROR. Further Particulars of the Disastrous Explosion Which Literally Tore Two Men to Pleces. In regard to the Hite mine accident, which occurred on the 28th ult., a letter from John I. Minear, superintendent of the mine, written to his father, from Mariposa on the 30th, says: o The accident was most horrible and sicken- ing in all its details; in fact such a destruc- tion of humen beings is hard to describe. Mr. Moodie, the underground boss, and I were in the mine forty minutes after the ex- plosion. The gas was horrible. It made us !ick& Istood it very well, although sick after- ward. 1t took seven men about two hours to gather up the pieces of flesh and put them to sheets, One or two pieces of flesh could be identified. No portion of the faces of ei.her was found. The man who esu(red death was at the station more than a hundred feet away from the ex- plosion. He is all right now, but_he does not remember anything. So how the accident happened will always remain & secret. Yesterday Mr. Matthews and I drove in here with the bodies. The Coroner was here and in readiness, and the inquest was held at once. The verdict of the jury exonerated the com- any from all blame, The bodies will be buried ere to-day. I had intended to forward the body of James Kluge to his friends in San Francisco, but the Coroner ordered them buried here. This seemed necessary. The company owed J. Kluge $36 88 and William Sterns $17, which I paid into the hands of the Coroner. Notify H. Kluge, 192934 Union street, of the disposition of his brother’s body. The disaster hes caused some of our miners to quit and others will follow. It rocked the station pump and At first I thought the pump was en- tirely ruined—but not so. In two or three days more we wil! have it repaired and run- ning again. In the meantime we will keep the water down with the skip. PARALYSIS. From the Press, New York City. Morris Preslaner of No.1 Pitt street, New York, who is a real estate agent and collector of rents, caught a severe cold early last spring, which settled upon his kidneys. Soon{he be- gan to suffer severe pain in his backbone, sides and chest. His symptoms grew rapidly more alarming, until at last he wes as helpléss as a child and couid scarcely move as he lay on his bed.. As Mr. Preslaner is well known in the part of town where he resides, he had many sympathizers, who did ali they could to help im 2 Though a native of Berliny Mr. Preslaner has lived in this country for Jforty years, having served the country of his adoption by three vears’ hard service in the civil war. " He en- isted with the Nineteenth Illinois Infantry, taking part in many battles and marching with General Shermdn to the sea. While in Georgia Mr. Preslaner was promoted to first sergeant for bravery on the field of action. He is now a member of Koltes Post, G. A. R., and is.one of the most popular men in the post. Mr. Preslaner told a reporter the story of his dreadful illness and wonderful recovery. The Teporter met him as he was returning from a long walk, and, saying that he had heard of his wonderful cure, asked him to tell the story. When Mr. Preslaner was comlortlblg' seated in his pieasant parlor he told the fol- lowing story, which, he said, he hoped every one who was suffering as he had suffered would read. His words were as follows: “To begin with, I was taken sick justa year and a month ago, having taken a severe cold which settled on my kidneys. At first I thought the pain I suffered would soon pess away, but in- stead of doing this it grew more intense eve; day, so that in a week I coula walk only wig cousiderable difficulty. I called in & doctor, who said I had locomo- tor ataxia, and began treating me for that dis- ease. He did me 1.0 good, and all summer lon, Icould scarcely attend to my busingss at all. Then I called another docior and took his medicine for several weeks, but experienced no relief. Dr. Truman Nichols of 287 East Broadway, whom I at last called in, helped me more than any of the other doctors, but along toward fall I grew worse, despite his treat- ment. I think Dr. Nichols'is agood doctorand understood my case, but despite this fact his medicines did me no lasting good. “Early in November the ]%" e strength I had in my legs left me and I was unable to stand. The pain in my back and sides became almost unbearable, and my limbs grew cold. An elec- fi:?}‘fi{ I bo“'l‘i“ hi;ed ltlo help me, and for s I felt myself gradual n until all hope Jeft me.

As my pains increased and deat seemed coming near, I thought of whatI had read and of the symptoms of the man who had been cured. They were precisely the same as mine, and at Jast, with my wite’s earnest en- treaty, I consented to try the Pink Pills. 1am now convinced that these vills saved my life. " Gradually my strengih began to re- turn; the desire to live grew stronger within me. After having taken three boxes I left my bed. Thiswes early jn March.
