PIANO DUO RECITAL. Two Young Debutantes Play at the Century Club. There was a large and interested au- dience at the Century Club last night to hear the piano duo recital by Miss Hilda Newman and Miss Evelyn Heney. The rooms had been charmingly decorated with roses, ivy, draperies of nets, inter- spersed with flowers and ferns, and the light was tinted by crimson shades. The young ladies played a number of selections on two grand pianos. Miss Evelyn Heney was a little too emphatic for her collaborator, Miss Hiida Newman, the latter being the more delicate and finisbed player of the two. Both young ladies, however, did well, and they were warmly applauded for their efforts. The numbers included the over- ture “Taunbauser,” ‘“Les Preludes” by Liszt and a rondo by Mendelssobn. The players were assisted by Dr. Gilbert F. Graham, tenor. It Is Reported That Dr. Brown May Form an Independent Organization. A METHODIST OBJECTION. Some of Dr. Goodwin’s Flock Do Not Like the Id:a of Dr. Brown Preaching to Them. It was said yesterday that the friends of Dr. Brown who are still loyal to their old pastor are looking for the right sortof a hall and that Dr. Brown may start a new church of his own, or rather a new congre- tion of his own. Dr. Brown would be following some bright examples, it may be remarked, in setting up an independent place of preach- ing, fencing in a lone field of pastoral labor apd starting on a new career of churchly activity unhampered by confes- sions of faith or books of discipline. Dr. David Swing ot Chicago and other heretics and offenders have done that thing with varying success. The late pastor of the First Congrega- tional Church has not announced this pur- pose, but it is reported to be in the shap- ing process. The invitation extended by Dr. Good- win to the unfrocked Dr. Brown to preach ai the California-street Methodist church next Sunday is not appreciated by all the members of that congregation. Nota few are bitterly opposed to the ‘‘courtesy,’” and that opposition will probably take shape to-day in a formal protest against such action. It is contended by those who differ with Dr. Goodwin as to the propriety of such a course that Brown has been adjudged by a council of his peers as a sneep with very black wool, and turther that the Bay Con- ierence, the highest body in Congregation- alism, ratified such action by stripping him of all the functions belonging to a pastor and a minister. For this reason, argue those who oppose Dr. Goodwin’s invitation, Brown has no right to preach in any Christian pulpit until he has been duly recognized by the official head, Which means in the case of the Methodist Church the General Con- ference. The full force of the request of D1. Brown and family that the First Church grant letters of withdrawal and ‘*‘recommenda- tion,” which was favorably passed on at the Wednesday night meeting, has just dawned on the opposition. Brown, with the assistance of his able lieutenants, Deacons Morse and Vascon- cellos, hus secured what he could not have ‘| obtained from the Bay Conier:nce or his former flock—au unqualified indorsement to any Christian organization, and further the tacit recommendation that he be taken into the fold. It now develops, however, that Brown had nothing to do with the wording or even writing of the request for letters | of dismissal. He simply told Deacon Morse what he wanted, and that gentle- man assumed the responsibility of phras- ing the request, which reads as follows: BAN Fraxcisco, May 6, 1896. To the First Comgregational Church of San Francisco: We, the uudersigned members of this church desire letters of dismissal and rec- ommendation to any evangelical church to which in the providence of God we may be di- | rected. Yours in the bonds of Christian fel- lowship, Charles O. Brown, Mary N. W. Brown, Vuientine C. Brown, Vincent W. Brown. | I would prefer that this request _be not | published,” said Deacon Morse Wednes- day night, ‘‘because Dr. Brown may not quite like it. "My reason for making such | a stateruent is just this: Brown telephoned me to-day that he wanted his letter from | the church, and so I wrote the request | and signed his name, Mrs. Brown’s and their two children.” It is not thought likely that Brown will protest against the form of request pre- sented by Mr. Morse. The action of the trusteesin determinin to sell the First Church 1s bitterly opposes by some of ‘the members, though the ma- jority seem to favor the proposition. There are those who look with horror at the possibility of the sacred edifice, which has | been presided over by some of the most | eminent divines in the country—the | church which witnessed the meteoric flight | of Dr. Barrows and the peculiar rise and fall of Dr. Brown—becoming a place of o ribbons and laces and perchance a corner rookery. FISHING FOR THE SPARS, Divers Getting the Blairmore’s Iron Yards Out of the Bay. Measuring the Hatchways—A Yard- stick That Wouid Not Stay Down Below. The wreckers have succeeded in getting much of the sunken Blairmore’s gear free from the hull, ana they are now ing up the spars. Three of the iron yaras have been recovered after a great expenditure of labor. Often the heavy mass of metal can- not be hoisted to the surface even after being cast clear of the wreck down in the muddy deeps below. Then the diver must again descend and feel in the darkness among the jumble of rope and spars for the cause. After a patient search he may find a chain which must be unshackled or a portion of the wire rigging which must be cut. Yesterday three divers were down on the bottom of the bay at one time groving around the sunken hulk like moles. One was working in the rigging of the mizzen- mast, another was clearing away the upper mnint%puil yard for hoisting up into the air, and the third man was measuring the hatchwavs. He came up for a weight to fasten to his yardstick, as the lime%moy- ant piece of wood was inclined to get away from him and float to the surface. With a five-pound bit of iron lashed to it he dropped back into the bay, and the air bubbles over him showed where he was at work. After the wreck is stripped the hatcnes, ventilators, skylights, airports and the many openings in the bull must be made air and water tight. Hatch covers must be fashioned to fit the coamings and sent down and fastened in their places. The ditficuities of such a labor are almost in- describable, but the patient and indus- trious men now at work there will succeed and the luckless craft be lifted from ber muddy grave. ————— Jerusha Tea Test.

A FOX - TERRIER SURPRISE. Judge Mortimer Will Leave for Seattle and Return to See the Oakland Show. Judge Mortimer comrleted his task of judging the dogs on exhibition at the Pa- vilion yesterday, and now the winners are happy ana the losers naturally sad. The dogs, of course, show no signs of re- gret or happiness; thier only cry is for home, sweet home. During yesterday’s proceedings two of the bull terriers got into an altercation while in the ring—a most approvriate place to decide a dispute—and one of the belligerents suffered the loss of an ear, which was chewed off in the twinkling of an eye. The owner of the dog that suffered was chagrined because the handler of the white “pugilist’” that drew first blood should not have used better judgment and kept his charge under control. The little fox terriers growled savagely at each other, but there were no fights and consequently no trouble. The victory that J. B. Martin achieved over Dr. W. D. Evelyn in receiving a blue ribbon for exhibiting the best fox terrier in the “open” dog class caused no end of talk amone the fanciers. It will be re- membered by sportsmen that Dr. D. Eve- lyn imported some time ago Dudley Stroller, a dog with a great pedicree and a winner of many prizes in the East and West. Tne fancy expected to see Stroller retire from the ring with the lanrels of victory, but their surprise was ,firut when Judge Mortimer haunded the lue ribbon to the bandier of Golden Flash, a home dog. Flash was whelped on March 15, 1895; sire, Blemton Reefer, dam Blemton Spinaway. The judge said after the dogs had left the ring that Golden Flash was as fine a specimen of the fox terrier as he had ever seen, and that he would be delighted to own him. Among the St. Bernard men the topic of conversation was relative to Grand Master, whose pictures and winnings ap- peared in Saturday’s Carn. This grand specimen of the Bt. Bernard won first prize over a large field of competitors, much to the surprise of some people who ore supposed to know something about St. Bernards, Judge Mortimer said there should beé no difficuity in deciding the question of which of the dogs on exhibi- ‘ien was entitled to the blue ribbon. Grand Master he unhesitatingly pro- nounced a high-class dog, whose owner need not feel the least abashed in pitting bhim against the best stock in America. The Griffons had no competitors. Very few people knew what class of dog they represented. Some thought that they were a new breed of Highland terriers, while others pronounced them crosses be- tween the wolf hound and the French poodle. The judge, however, said that they were real Griffons, andleverybody let it go at that. They are used by French sportsmen for all-round huating. They are owned by Billy Kittle of the Country Club, who intends to shoot snipe over them next winter. The ladies’ pets are not very numerous this year, but those on exhibition are of good quality and highly commended by the judge.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT Harbor Commissioners Worried Over Steel Beams for the Depot. NO MEAFS OF TESTING THEM. British Captains Will Celebrate the Queen’s Birthday With a Regatta. The Harbor Commissioners are a little anxious about the steel beams that are to be used in the new ferry depot. It appears that no provision has been made for test- ing them, and President Colnon wants to know what is to be done in the matter. L. R. Mead of the Risdon Iron Works was sent for, and yesterday he appeared before the board. He explained that the beams were being made by the Carnegies, and that they were depending upon their test. He never expected that the Commissioners would demand a test, and did not know what to do in the matter. President Col- non said that a test would most assuredly be made before the beams would be ac- cepted, and with that the matter was allowed to drop. Chief Engineer Holmes presented the plans and specifications for the new Fol- som-street wharf, and they were approved and ordered advertised. While the new wharfis being built the Oceanic Steam- ship Company’s steamers will dock at the new Pacific-street wharf. Architect Swain reported that the plans for the ventilating of the waiting-room and the skylights in the new ferry depot were defective. He suggested some changes which would interfere somewhat with the g{luns of the Risdon Iron Works. Mr. ead said his company had no objection to the making of the changes, and the board accepted Mr. Swain’s proposition.

The British ship Ecclefechau arrived from Calcutta yesterday in the smart time Bhe averaged 150 miles a day throughout the entire run. She brings almost an entire cargo of grain- sacks, which will enter into competition with the article made at San Quentin. The United States Fish Commissioners’ steamer Albatross is preparing for an- other cruise in Bering Sea. She will be Fona some time, and beds that were not ully examined iast year will be thoroughly explored this season. The Albatross made a pretty picture yesteraay as she lay in the stream. Asshe was sketched yester- day a scow-schooner was approaching her wiih a load of coal, as was also one of the steamer’s boats. In the distance was the.| monitor Comanche, and away in the dis- tance a small schooner. T. B. O'Brien, Judge Campbell’s fight- ing clerk, bad a rough time of it on the steamer Solano last Tuesday night. He was crossing from Benicia to Port Costa, and from politics drifted to the A, P. A, He abused the organization in 1o measured terms and ot a terrible mauling in consequence, His eye was blacked, his nose cut, his coat torn and his new silk hat was tnrnea into a football. O'Brien after he got on his feet watched the flying hat for a while and then called out, “I don’t want that hat any more. When you're through with it cut it up into Mc- Kinley badges.” He was yery weary when he reached Oakland, so he stayed there all night and came to the City about noon yesterday. 3 The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Zealandia is receiving a thorough over- hauling at Howard-street wharf. It is rumored that she will be sent to Honolulu after sugar, but Captain Howard says she will be tied up. A new foremast and new hawse holes have been put in and the vessel has been repainted throughout. A little steam launch used by one of the laundries broke down in the bay yesterday and her cargo of clean clothes got a wet- ting. Henry Peterson went to her assist- ance in the’Amy and towed her to Fol- som-street whari. Anexamination showed that the steamJaunch bad lost her pro- 1ler, peBuuil:eu has increased tasuch an ex- tent on the Mail dock that the company is compelled to considerably widen ‘the structure. As thingsare at present all the New York freight has to be discharged at Lombard-street wharf for want of room at the foot of Brannan street. The wharf will be widened on the basin or westerly side and by this means the company’s working space will be l.lrgel{ increased. The Harbor Commissioners have no ob- jection to the change so long as the east- erly side of the wharf is not touched. The well-known :hir Elwell was spoken off Poiat Reyes &t o’clock yesterday afternoon, having made that much of the round trip to Nanaimo in fifteen days.

The sixteenth apnual meeting of the ‘Woman’s Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of the Episcopal Church will open to-day in St. Luke’s Church at 11 o’clock. Bishop Nich- ols will celebrate holy communion, and Johnson of Los An; will preach. FRANCIS WON THE SPRINT Two Well-Known Business Men in a Foot Race at Sausalite. THE PRIZE WAS A DINNER. H. W. Riley Acknowledged Defeat at the Haods of Wells-Fargo's S:cretary. The friends of T. B. Francis, the athletic secretary of Wells, Fargo & Co., are smack- ing their lips over the prospect of a swell dinner which they expect to enjoy with him shortly. Mr. Francis and Henry W. Riley, the Davis-street commission man, are very good friends, but they differ materially as to their respective abilities as sprinters, and the bantering between the two led a day or so ago to a match race at 100 yards, the loser to dine a dozen of the victor's friends and the spread to cost not less than $25. No suitable place could be found on this side of the bay where the race could be run without the matter becoming a mat- ter of public comment, so the entire party took the boat to Sausalito, and the con- test came off in the presence of an admir- ing crowd. A level stretch of road north of the town was measured and a fine place, currently reported to be 100 yards long, selected. Stripped as far as modesty would permit the two men faced the starter, who was a well-known business man. John F. English acted as timer and Charles M. Carroll of Carroll & Carroll as stakeholder. It is not definitely known whether Mr. English held a stop watch on the race or not, but the general impression is that if he did it must have been out of order as he announced 11}¢ seconds as the time when the jovial secretary broke the tape a counle of yards ahead of his oppo- nent. Asboth are staid business men and notin {raining for such a severe strain asa 100-yards run in 11)4 seconds, it is believed that 15 seconds must have been nearer the correct time. After having recovered his breath suf- ficiently to speak Mr. Kiley announced that while he had been beaten fairly he was not at all convinced that Francis was the better man and asked forareturn race, which was accorded without a minute’s hesitation. It is suid that both gentiemen are train- ing covertly as much as business will per- mit and a warm race is expected the next time they meet on the cinder path. A CUT-RATE SPOTTER. L. F. Melsing Charged With Embezzle- ment and With Not Perform- ing His Daty. ‘W. W. Smith, secretary of the San Fran- cisco and Oakland Passenger Association, in the Mills building, swore to a complaint in Judge Low’s court yesterday for the ar- rest of L. F. Melsing on the charge of fel- embezzlement. mith _said that on May 5 C. H. Duffey went to V. P. White and through him Mel- sing was introduced to Smith. White rep- resented Melsing as a very smart fellow— just the man to send to the cut-rate offices to]ddiscover if cut-rate tickets were being sold. Smith gave Melsing $200 on the under- standing that Melsing would make a thor- odugh investigation and furnish a written report on the result, but he did not do so. elsing was arrested by Detective Wbit- taker and booked at the City Prison. He is a clerk for Jake Rauer. He says he made a verbal report to Smith on the re- sult of his investigations a"d considers he is fairly entitled to the $200 for his ser- vices. ———————————————— NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
