Then each made a bullseve, a cen- nd two bullseyes, ending in a tie—45 After this Oakland increased their lead. The greatest gain was that of Schroder | over Mulcahey, seven points.

P, D, | Captain Fletcher then called for three cheers for the San Francisco team, which | were given with equal vigor. The teams then adjourned to the dining- | hall in Captain Siebe’s hotel in the parik | where a sumptuous dinner was partaken of at the expense of the losing team. Chief Lloyd sat at the head of the main table, | and Captain Wittman at the foot, Captain | Fletcher being at the head of the other table and Sergeant Bethel at the foot. Be- sides the teams, the referees, scorers, markers and a few invited guests were present. After dinner several speeches were made | of congratulation to the winning teem and | of enconragement to the losers. A couple | of hours were pleasantly spent in toasts | and song, the party breaking up after sing- | ing “Auld Lang Syne.” | The weather was all thaf could have been desired for good shooting. The wind was light, and although the light wasa | trifle fluctuating it was not enough so as to interfere with the shooting. The San | Francisco men acknowledgea they were | beaten on their merits. They are not dis- | couraged, however, and as Cnief .Lloyd tnrew out another challenge in the exuber- | ance of victory, which was promptly | accepted by Caplain Wittmun, they expect | 1o get even with Oakland in the near future.

George Montgomery of Los Angeles, who established the leagne in this City, will be present on the occasion. The fact that two such distinguished leaders in the temperance crusade will be among the spectators would of itself be sufficient to attract great crowds. Both are earnest and successful workers and are endowed with a personal magnetism to win respect and admiration. Monsignor Nugent has been in the United States for the past eight months seeking to recuperate his health, of marked personality and an earnest speaker. He bas many admirers in San Francisco among all classes. ‘There will' be many other interesting features on the occasion. Judge Sullivan will present a magnificent stand of colors to the regiment from Council 35, Y. M. I. Although all the different companies have been presented with American flags by their many admirers, still there has been no regimental stand of colors.

Anglers who have decided upon a dl'ay’s trouting on the Paper-mill and Lagunitas creeks next Wednesday, which will be the first day of the open season, must not for- get that the North Pacific Coast Railroad has made a change in its time table, com- mencing to-day. On Wednesday and during the week days only one train, connecting at Sausa- lito with the 1:45 o'clock boat from this {}i v, will pass the trout streams on that ine, As there will not be a morning train anglers who propose whipping the Lagu- nitas, Paper-mill and Olema creeks on Wednesday must leave this City on Tues- day afternoon, so as to have the cream of the sport on the first day of the season. Excursion tickets will not be soid on week days, consequently the fraternity must pay high for sportif they desire to visit streams on this line on the opening of the trout-hshing season. Owing to the change of time, a large number of anglers will try their luck on the creeks which can be reached by trains of other lines that leave thiscity at an eary hour. Deputy Fish Commissioners Wilson and Cross have taken their departure for San Diego for the purpose of securing a num- ber of large-mouth bass that were planted in & lake near San Diego four or five years ago by the United Svates Fish Commis- sioners, It is said that the bass have grown large and strong, and if the depu- ties succeed in making & good catch, it will not be many years before the anglers of this city will have a chance of trying their skill in catching these game and edible fishes, The bass from the San Diego lake will be planted in Battle Creek, which is tributary of the Sacramento River. If they increase in numbers, the Russian River and other waters adjacent to this City will be stocked with large- mouths. A JUSTICE'S FAITH. He Trusted a Tout at the Kacetrack and Thereby Lost.One Hun- dred Dollars. Justice Carroll suffered a loss at the Bay District track recently for which he blames one Ransome Elmwood, a tout with whom he was slightly acquainted. Mr. Carroll was accosted by Elmwood, who asked him to cash a hundred-dollar check drawn by himself on the Wells- Fargo bank. The justice found he had not the necessary coin at that time, but on expressing regret Barney Schreiber, the well-known turfman and friend of Car- roll’s, offered to supply it. Carroll ac- cepted the offer anc{’ turned over the money 1o Elmwood, who indorsed the check. The paper was dishonored at the bank, although it is reported that Elm- wood had intended making it good had the speculation with the justice’s coin “‘turned out right.” —————-———— Easter Tea and Sale.

How the Siege of a Tremont-Avenue House Was Met With Equal Strategy. There is a new way of removing objec- tionable tenants, and it might, from its re- cent origin in this City, be called the San Francisco tenant-ejecting process. It consists simply of removing front doors and windows and instituting a sort of freeze-out game; but in the artistic and legal method employed lies the secret of its great success and efficiency. After all attempts at pleading for pay- ment have failed and every one of the old methods of getting rid of the tenant have been exhausted, then it is that the agent, accompanied by two mechanics and a lawyer, makes his final strategic move. The attorney is on hand to see that no ground is afforded the tenants on which to base an action for forcibly entering the premises. At the same time care is taken that there is not in the house any sick person who might suffer from the ex- posure and sue for damages. Then the nice part of the work begics. An entrance must be gained in a leg mate way. this is usually accom- plished under the pretext of making some repairs or of altering thedoor and window- fastenings. The doors and windows are then removed and carted off in the express wagon used by the mechanics, he most recent operation of the new scheme was upon a house on Tremont avenue, near Frederick street. The family were ‘‘stayers,”’ and smooth talk, argu- ment and threats did not ayail with them. About a month ago A. M. Speck & Co. began the siege on behalf of the loan asso- ciation that cwns the property. The water supply was cut off, but that never worried the occupants of the house. They borrowed from their neigh- The House on Tremont Avenue, Near Frederick Street, With Inside Doors Nailed Across the Window and Front Door by the Tenants After the Owner Had Re- moved the Regular Fixtures in Order to Force the Family to Leave. [Sketched by a “Call’ artist.] i pUT] bors. A whole week passed and there was no sign that a water famine existed. Late one Saturday afternoon the men came to repolish the oak door and to repair a front window, the glass in one sash having been cracked by the force of the blasting on Ashbury Heights near by. The man was not at home, but his wife opened the door and afterward stood unsuspectingly by while it was being? re- moved from its hinges. Everything progressed smoothly until after the lower sash of the large front window had been taken down to the side- walk and placed near the door. Then the little woman seemed suddenly (not too suddenly) to aporeciate what it all meant. She rushed frantically down the long flight of steps and grasped the sash. The men tried 1o take it away from her, but she clung desperately on to the frame, even after most of the glass had beenh smashed out in toe struggle. The men loaded the door on their wagon and drove away. But the tenants were not immediately conquered. Next morning the neighbors were surprised to see two basement doors nailed across the large window, and the main doorway was supplied with the two interior folding-doors that had been re- moved in the night and nailed in place by the man of the house on his return home. For several days things wenton as usual, only the postman handed in bills through a front window and collectors and delivery men went round to the backdoor. Nearly a week had passed when one day a hack stopped in front of the house and the old lady and the lttle girls gotin. “Now you wait until I get ‘Polly’ and birdy,”"called out the little woman, and when two cages had been placed in the carriage it drove away, whither the neigh- bors have not vet found out. Late that night an express wagon rumbled in the street. The next morning the neighbors and the anxious agent Jearned that the tenants had evacuated their fortifications. CORBETT AND MAHER. They May Meet in This City at the Olympic Club Entertaia- ment. Rumors were floating around the Olym- pic Club yesterday that the directors in- tended making a proposition to Champion Corbett to box ten rounds with Peter Maher at the boxing tournament of the club, which will be held in the Pavilion in May. Some of the officers who were inters viewed on the matter laughed at the idea, but it can be safely said, however, that it the club can secure Corbett and Maher as the star attraction of the boxing festival those famous knights of the glove will be seen here in May. 5 Corbett has intended paying this City & visit for some time purposely to s¢e his parents and as Fitzsimmons has persist- ently refused to'notice Corbett’s challenge until the latter has met and defeatcd Peter Maber it is not by any means improbable that Corbett will agree to any reasonable offer made to him by the club in which he learned how to box. £ In case Corbett should meet Maherin this City and whip the Irishman inside of ten rounds he would instantly cliallenge Fitzsimmons and force the New Zealander into the ring, where the world’s champion- ship contest woula be decided. ———— Market-Street Railway Dividend.
