There were four starters in the first heat and it was won by H. H. Friedlander of the San Francisco Road In the second heat there were six start- ers. Delmas, the scratch man, caught the limit men by the second lap, but collided with Wielzen (Acme), on the fourth. Both fell, but neither was hurt. J. Mack (Im- perial), won the heat from 90 yards in 2:322-5. Mott (Reliance), won tne third | heat in the remarkably fast time of 2:153-5, from 20 yards., He was the virtual scratch man in a field of five starters, and rode a very pretty race. The fourth heat went to Cook of the Im- perial Club in 2:20 2-5 from 80 yards. the best man in the fifth heat and won 2:19, from 25 yards. J. E.

The professional events were, of course, the best, and in the afternoon the final | heat in the one-mile scratch, in which ‘Wells, the Bay City crackajack, veat Ter- 1ill, Coulter and Davis, was one of the best | races ever seen on a California track. | Wells also beat Walter Foster of the Olym- | pic Club in the final of the mile handicap | later in the day. | The evening’s events were run under the | glare of electric lights, and a sufficient | number of them were distributed -about | the grounds to light them almost as bright | as day. The wind which prevailed in the | afternoon died down towards evening, aud the night events were, therefore, much | faster than those of the day time. The | grand stands at the park are commodious and well protected, and the audience did | not feel the wind or cold in the evening. Of course the “only” Wilbur Knapp was | there to announce the results of the events | through his “*knapaphone,” and Referees | Welch and Plummer, Starters Fawcettand | Lennie, and other League of American | ‘Wheelmen oflicials controlled the running of the various events. The racing in the afternoon commenced with a mile seratch professional event, for | which there were a score of entrants. The | race was divided into four heats and a | final. In the first heat Foster (Olympic), | Staver of Portland, Terrill (Bay City) and Campbell of Spokane started. It was a | pretty ride from the start. The men alter- nated in making the pace, and at the be- | ginning of the last lap Campbel led. Ter- | rill, who was second, fought it out with him and beat him half a wheel’s length at the tape. Time, 2:33 4-5, In the second heat Wells (Bay City) and Osen (Olympic Cyclers) were the only | starters, McFarland (San Jose) and Ede| wards (Olympic) being scratched. Osen | stole a march on Wells on the fifth lap and neacly beat him out, but the *‘boy wonder"” had sufiicient sprint left to pass him before they crossea the tape. Time, 2-5. here was a fine field of starters in the third heat, comprising Long (Bay City), Davis and Jones (Olympic) and Byrne (Imperial). Long was forced to set the pace for three laps, as none of the others would take it. Davis came up on the fourth, with Byrne alongside, and Jones still held back. On the last lap Davis had the lead, and Long took -second. They finished in that order, in the rather slow time of 2:50 4-5. Byrne rode wild on the last bank and nearly threw himself and Jones, but the latter recovered sufficiently to finish a gooa third. Clinton Coulter, the crack Easterner, McCrea of Los Angeles and Russell Cush- ing (Garden City) rode the fourth heat. McCrea jumped away irom the others on the fifth lap and gained a lead of several yards. It looked like his heat, but he could not hold the pace, and Conlter beat him easily at the finish. Time, 2:39 4-5. ‘This brought into the final heat a quar- ter of the fastest riders in the country, Terrill and Wells representing the Bay City Wheelmen and Coulter and Davis the Olympic Club Wheelmen. They lined up in that order on the tape, and the audience sa= all excitement as the starter’s pistol 1z out and the men shot off. Davis set ¢ pace for two laps, and made it so hot +v the crowd yelled its disapproval. sen Coulter came up and made it a bit ister. Terrill went up on the fourth with Wells following him, and the sprint for home began right then. The four men fought it vut for the remaining two laps, nd the giant Wells had all the best of it He got the lead on the last half of the | fifth and kept it to the end, winning amid deafening applause in 2:384-5. The other | Bay City man, Terrill, was a good mond,] i | stated was not related to the well-known chairman of Wheeimen’s racing board, won the last heat in 2:22 from 90 yards. T e first semi-final heat brought out Mott, Wing, Cook and Friedlander, and they finished exactly in that order, his time being 2:20 4 In the second were | the League of American | Eiford, Kenna, Squires and Welsh. Kenna, | who 1§ proving himself to be a very man, won easily ip 2:20 3-5. Chapman, Mack, Borree, Craft, Freeman, Metcalf and Mennerode the third. A field of seven is a good many for a six-lap track, and the | crowd was kept in a constant state of ex- citement for fear the men would collide. They rodg well, however, and the whole seven finished in a bunch. Borree won, Mack second, Freeman third. Time, 2:18, from 105 yards. This narrowed down the original field of sixtv-eight starters to seven, who com- peted in the final heat. They were Mott, Wine, Mack, Borree, Freeman, Kenna anc Squires, and they made a great race of it from the crack of tre pistol. The seven of them were bunched at the end of third lap, | every man fighting for a position and riding as if his life depended on the resuit of the race. when they rtounded the last turn, but Bquires came fast and passed him a few feet before they reached the tape. Wing rom thirty yards. The one-mile handicap, professional, was run off in three pfeliminary heats and a final. The winnersof each heat and seconds in the two fastest heats quali- fied for the final. 1In the first heat Walter F. Foster, the Olympic crack, started from scratch; R. L. Long, Bay City. had 45 yards, and J. F. Staver of Portland 70 rds. It was an uninteresting ride, and Foster won as he liked in 2:38 4-5, Staver being second. There was a fine field in the second heat, comprising Wells, Bay City, seratch; Osen, Olympic, 40 yards; Terrill, Bay City, 60; Davis, Otlympic, 65; and Cushing, Garden City, t proved a very pretty race. Cushing, the limit man, was never headed, and won by a considerable margin, but the fizht was for second place between the other four. Davis ran off the track on the last lap, and Wells forged ahead and beat Terrill, who came very fast on the outside, by but a few inches. Cushing’s time was 2:25 4-5. In the third heat were McCrea of Los Angeles, Campbell of Spokane, Jones of the Olympics and Byrne of the Imperials. This was a ride for blood, as the men are all bitter rivals. McCrea and Jones bumped into each other on the last lap, put neither fell, Jones winning in 2:254-5 from sixty yards; McCrea second, from twenty-five yards, This brought into the final Foster, Wells, Cushing, McCrea and Jones, a com- bination that the audience was evidently glad to see ride against each other, judg- ing by tue applause the men received as they came out. Cushing, with eighty-five yards handicap, and Jones with six'y, jumped out and got such a lead that the others never overtook them. Wells, Mec- Crea and Foster fought it out for third Elnce and to see who vould beat the other. ones beat Cushing by a few inches, and hen came the other three fighting it out as though first place depended on their efforts. Wells easily proved his superior- ity over the other two, taking third place, | 2 McCrea fourth and Foster a close hfth. | Jones’ time was 2:25. 3 . AFTERNOON SUMMARY.

The time was This brought into the final Downing, | Freeman, Crafts and Sguires. To make the pace fast, Gooch, the Reliance man, was put in to speed them %on. It was a very pretty race. Crafts took the pacing away from Gooch on the fourth lap and | which they hac made it faster. Round they went at break- | neck pace, all within inches of each other. Downing came fast on the inside on the last lap, and barely won from Freeman, with Gooch third. The time was 2:25 4-5. The only professional event run in the | eveniig was a half-mile scratch in four heats and a final, first in each heat to qualify. The heats were well contested and excited considerable enthusiasm. The first heat had for starters H. E. McCrea, Bay City, and J. M. Campbeli of Spokane. he former won in a pretty finish in :14 4-5. Ip the second heat Walter Fos- ter, Olympie, and Russell Cushing, Gar- den City, competed. Russell tried to jump away from his opponent on the fiith eat, but the speedy Foster would not ave it that way ana won a pretty race in 5. Wells (Bay City), Davis and Jones (Olympic Wheelmen), and Osen (Olympic Cyclers), rode out the fourth heatin'splen- did style. It looked as though Jones might beat Wells when they rounded the last turn, but the big nder still had a sprint left and won by a few inches in 1:16 4-5. The fourth heat brought.out Terrill (Bay City), Staver of Portland and Byrne (Imperial). They did not try to make it very fast the first two laps, but it was speedy enough to suit the most exact- ing on the last. h in 1:24 3-5. This made three ont of the four prelimi- | nary heats that Bay City riders had won, | and their club members showed their jubilation by giving their club vell several times with a vim. When Wells, Foster, Terrill and McCrea lined up for the start of the final heat they were loudly cheered. They loafed the first lap, however, which the crowd did not like, but the pace was very speedy from then to the end. Wells came fast on the outside on the second lap and took the lead, and try as they would the others could not head him. Terrill hung on to the second place with grim tenacity, and McCrea and Foster were fighting it out close behind. They crossed the tape inches apart, Wells first, Terrill second, McCrea third. Foster Jast. The time was 1:24 2-5. It was a great race, and the popular winner was- cheered io the echo as he dismounted and went to his training quarters. EVENING SUMMARY.

His Complete Plan for Re- organizing the Local Democracy. MEANING OF HIS MOVES Wants the State Central Com- mittee and Then a New Ma- chine Through It. DR. GAVIGAN OPENS ON M'NAB. The New Civil War—Both Factions of the Party Nominate Conven- tion Delegates. Last evening both factions of the local Democracy nominated delegates to the State Convention, to be voted for at the respective primaries on the 28th and 29th inst. The nominations were made at dis- triet club meetings throughout the City. All in harmony with the Buckleyites and the nominations made last night will be ratified with enthusiasm at the pri- mary. Most of those nominated last night on the Junta side will be State Convention delegates too, as these nominations will constitute the regular tickets which will be supported by the “inside.” There will likely be several contests at the Junta pri- mary, but the contestants will not have the election officers. The Junta clubs nominated only the district delegates. The | tifty-thiee delegates-at-large which Boss McNab has arranged for will be nominated by the executive committee next week. But the thing of chief interest in the Junta is the fierce war about Gavin Mc- Nab, his domination and his programme, which has broken out in the executive committee and which daily increases its terrors. That executive committee is split wide open. The new struggle promises to eclipse any of the preceding omes in the Democratic machine in bitterness. The battle has but fairly opened, but 1t appears already certain that McNab and his chief lieutenant, Cuairman Sullivan, are beaten out of the absolute control they have enjoyed. McNab and Sullivan have received a rude shock and they have received itin the surprisingly brief space of t me of two weeks after they had created a small body carefully selected, of the control of which they were sure and to | which they bad given absolute power over the affairs of the faction. The rebellion came quickly, as McNab raised his No. 17 foot to step on the execu- tive committee to climb high to the pedestal of the party boss. McNab prepared to name fifty or so of the convention delevates himself, to have the executive committee carry out his individuai political Daggett and to generally run things so that he would be on top. A lot of the members of the executive committee pro- posed to huve something to say them- | seives, at least in their own districts, Then they became scared at McNab's ambitious programme, which the other leading spirits in the Junta have not been able to fathom until within a few days. Now the ultimate programme is known to quite a number. McNab propozes to control the new State Central Committee and its executive committee and then through it secare a committee on the reorganization of the local party, which would give him control of the loeal machine. His programme is to create another Deuprey committee, which would ostensi- bly proceed to reorganize, harmonize and unite the iocal Democracy, but which | would effect that operation through Mr. McNab and, departing, leave 1im the pure and noble leader of the Democracy, posing with one foot on Buckley’s neck and its adjoining region, while all the am- bitious Democrats of the City knelt about suppliant for nominations. McNab has the present great tactical ad- vantage of controlling two chairmen— Chairman Suliivan of the Junta and Chair- man Frank Gould of the State Central Committee. Chairman Gould seems likely now to become the chairman of the con- vention and McNab will do all in his ower to elect Gould. Gould will help McNab’s programme through at the con- vention as effectively and arbitrarily as he did at the meeting of the State Central Committee, when W. W. Foote told him that he was a disgrace to his party. McNab's programme proposes that Gould, as chairman of the convention, shall name the executive committee of the State Central Committee. Gouid would appoint the committee, but McNab would name it. Then the convention, or the State Cen- tral Committee, as may seem expedient, is to adopt a resolution recognizing the deplorable split in the local party, dectar- ing that the interests of the Democracy demand a united party in San Francisco, the party’s stronghold, and providing that a commission of independent Demo- crats be empowered and directed to pro- ceed to createa new party organization in this City. McNab and the rest of the Junta leaders declare as vigorously as ever that there will never be anv compromise with the Buckleyites. Of course not. There is to be a ‘‘reorganization,” fair to see and well spoken of, which will bar from any voice contracts with | in party control all but the “‘decent’’ peo- ! ple of which McNab is ready to furntsh a list. This would be coanted on to take the wind out of Buckley's sails. But this scheme would annibilate the Junta organization as well, and the politi- cally ambitious ones in the Junta organi- zation who have not McNab's favor would be out in the cold like the Buckleyites. There are members of the executive com- mittee who see all this and more and they are not going to hand the wotrks over to McNab. In the furtherance of this great pro- gmmme. by which McNab proposes to bea foses to the Democracy and then its king, MeNab is aiter State Central Committee- men. The delegates to the State Conven- tion from the various Assembly Districts will choose their representatives in that committee. Hence McNab's present labors are chiefly directed to get- ting nominated and elected delegates who will elect State Central Committeemen to the liking of himself or his political part- ner Daggett. There will be a mess of trouble over this during the next two weeks in various direc- tions, but the chief trouble now concerns the Thirty - ninth District, and that :mnhlo isred hot with a rising tempera- ure. . This district is represented in the execu- tive committee by Dr. J. W. Gavigan. He is yet a young man, but has been active in Democratic polities since bovhoed and has always, evén in the height of Buckley's wer, opposed both Buckley and Rainey. e was the only anti-Buckley member of the State Central Committee in 1884, the year of the Stockton convention, and has never aflinated with either one of these bosses. In the Junta General Committee J. A Fenton, Daggett's lieutenant, con- trols the delegation from that district. Mc- Nab has been exceedingly anxious to have a Daggett delegation elected from that dis- trict that Fenton might be re-elected to the State Central Committee and to effect that proposed a few days ago that Gavi- gan be turned down and that Fenton be ?llowed to name a majority of the delega- ion. . This and some similar moves of McNab in the way of running things himself started the anti-McNab combination in the executive committee which was de- scribed in THE CALL a few days ago. The | combination was composed of members | who were ready to join in a compact that | would give district control to the indi- vidua! commitieemen instead of to Me- Nab. The publication of the story pro- | duced a good deal of excitement and hustling. McNab and Sullivan mistakenly charged Gavigan with giving away the story of internal discord, and the breach has rapidly widened until there is a bitter Eerlonnl hostility between McNab and ullivan on one side and Gavigan on the | other, along with the political row over the district. Ed Lanigan and all his | friends are arrayed with Gavigan and | lg}?inst McNab and Sullivan, and others, who are afraid to openly do s, are secretly ‘waiting a sure oppostunity to knife McNab. A day or two azo McNab gave out for publication a story that Gavigan bad on last Sarurday, during the additional en- rollment. turned in 200 names to be placed | on the rolls, which were largely those of | dead men, Republicans and Buckleyites. | This was about as much as Gavigan could siand, and he has cleared his decks and | gone into action. He asks if it 1s likely | that he would hand to his enemies in the | district who were members of the can- vassing committee a list of names which | he knew to include stuffers. He declares that the original roll in his district has | never been seen, and that, though he isa | member of the executive committee, he | has been unable to get a_look at it. The MeNab-Fenton roll of 360 names has been carefully guarded, as have, in fact, all the rolls in all the districts. Gavigan has | charged, in recent meetings of the execu- | tive committee, that the rol in the Thirty- | ninth has been shamefully stuffed by Me- his is what Dr. Gnvn;fsn had to say about the situation and about MecNab when asked about the trouble yesterday During the days of Buckley and Rainey’s power I was always found opposed to their policy as a member of the State and County committees.

As chairman of the committee on constitu- tion 1 draited the instrument under which I am now acting as a member of the campaign | committee. As a member of the latter co: mittee I have opposed Gavin McNab' because 1 believe that he is endeavoring tc supplant Mr. Buckley and Mr. Rainey. I have | been of this opinion since I recommended | Judge Maguire for appointment by A. A. Wat- | kins on the committee of twenty-five. Mc- | Nab had Judge Maguire turned down for one | of his henchmen, I have since found out, in or- der that he might better intrench himself as the coming boss. | At the first meeting of the campaign com- mittee 1 intreduced a resolution intended to urge the then and now stuffed roli of Mc- ab’s henchmen in the Thirty ninth District. McNab violently ofi{mwd the resolution. At | the last primary held for the election of com- mittee men in ihe 1hirty-ninth District thirty ballots were cast from an alieged enroilmeu of 360 electors. Upon information and beiie I asserted before the campaign committee tha tully 250 of the 360 were placed upon the roll by MeNab henchmen without the consent or knowleage of the parties. I had hoped to sup- port reputable gentlemen for delegates to the State Convention and therefore wished the roll purged. On Monday evening last a de- mand was made upon McNab's friends in the Thirty-ninth for a sight of the stuffed roll with- out success. i In view of the cinch methods of those in | charge of affairs in the Tbirty-vinth Distriet, the opposition to McNab had their iriends sign ledge cards, of which a list was made and | handed tome as the member of the campaign committee, with the request that I offer it o those in charge to be enrolled and canvassed. I have reason to believe that with possibly a few exceptions those on the list are gen electors and that a canvass of the list w show this to be the case, Because of the latter fact McNab saw defeat staring his friends in the face. In this dilemma he turns to his fayorite ery, “Buckley! Bi y I uckley In this case it won’t work. The people judge men by their actions, not their mouthings. MeNab was Buckley's nominee for Supervis: I was never connected with Buckl Buckley and Rainey are angels MeNab und his Mephisto or assassin-like w ‘In McNao's Bulletin publication he refers'to | my brother Dan being the secretary of Buck- i The record of sixieen years past don’t show wherever 1 co-operated or voted with Buckley or Rainey. Can McNab say as much? Can McNab truthfully den that he did not solicit and secure the A. P. A, inaorsement for his brother James at the last election? Can he truthfully deny that he | solicited and secured for J. M. Klein, his nom- | inee for Supervisor of the First Ward, the in- | dorsement of the A. P. A. at the last election? | It is the beiief of many that MeNab is more interested in the eles n of his brother as Sheriff than he is in the welfare of the Democ- racy. The publicaiions referred to show Mc- Nab to be a coward and an assassin of charac- te;. 1predict that in less tian four months | he will be discredited by the local Democracy. At the next meeting of the campaign com- mittee, I will demand that acommittee be avpointed to canvass the roll of McKab stuf- | fers in the Thirty-ninth. I have been inter- | ested in clean politice, but until this roil is purged I will not tuggest & name for delegate 1o the Siate Convention from the Thirty-ninth. The pool is too dirty in its present state, and it must be cleaned of McNab, The row between McNab and Sullivan | and Gaviean and his friends in the execu- tive committee appears to bave only fairly | begun. 2 i The district meetings of the Buckieyites | in most districts drew large crowds, while at many of the Junta district meetings not a dozen were present. There were many | more candidates among the Buckleyites | than among their rivals. The Junta ap-| portionment gives an even six delegates to each district, leaving fifty-three at large The Buckley apportionment is based on | Budd votes and gives from five to nine | delegates in the districts and provides for but one delegate-at-large, who will be Dr. James 1.

At the meeting of the Fortieth District Club the following resolution, vifered by Robert Ferral, was adopted: Resolved, That we pledge our delegates from the Fortieth District to labor zealously in the State Convention to recommend the adoption of a plank in the platform that the Democratic | party of the State of California is emphatically oppased to religious proscription, and as true eitizens of the commonwealth are heartily in favor of religious liberty. Similar resolutions were adopted at some other district meetings. CONVICT-DRESSED STONE Reports That It Is Being Sent All Over the State. A special committee of the Granite-cut- ters’ Union met last evening to further discuss the injustice being done to free white labor by the State authorities turn- ng out dressed granite by the convicts at Folsom. Several reports were made of such business. ments large quantities of convict-dressed stone have been and are being sent from Folsom to all parts of the Etate. For example, a contractor named John Spellman of Stockton shipped into Stock- ton two cemetery copings for graves fin- ishea by convicts. 'fhe same contractor several months ago sent the same kind of material to Modesto for the McCabe and Pfitzer monuments enclosure. Another contractor named Herdlan obtained a lot of dressed granite from Folsom for a building on J street in Sacramento. Protests will be made to the authorities of the State against this unfair compe- tition with convict labor. It was reported that the convict dressed stone for the Mid- winter Fair monument in the park has been completely boxed by some one to iurevcnt it being an eyesore to the public. Resolutions thanking the press for the | stand taken against convist labor in the stone-cutting business were passed. LA VITA. An Interesting Italian Publication of This City Praises ““The Call.” That enterprising newspaper, L'Italia, is 1n the habit of presenting its subscribers with a beautiful eight-page Sunday sup- plement every week, called La Vita. This supplement differs from most of its kind, as it is a magazine rather thana newspaper. The contents of this Italian publication are almost entirely literary, the paper on which it is printed is of the thick maga- zine type and the paper is adorned with beautiful and artistic copperplate engrav- in -day’s issue of La Vita contains, among other good things, two fine en- gravings of the new Cavrr building, one representing the entire structure and the other the principal entrance. There is also a brilliantly written de- scriptive account of the building. Among the other contents of this week’s Vita are an illustrated article on Padre Michele of Carbonaro, an interesting account of the clandestine press in Russia, descriptions of a pleasure trip in America and of pic- ture galleries in London, and an article on emancipated woman. ——————— Robbed a Laundry Wagon. Daniel O'Brien was arrested yesterday by Detectives Egan and Silvey and booked at the City Prison on the charge of grand larceny. He and two pther men are accused of stealing the coutents of a Model laundry wagon on Mission street on April 18. It issaid he had a wagon in readiness and drove off with the plunder while the laupdryman was for a few minutes in the house 8i a customer. — Burglars In Sherman School. The library of the Sherman Primary School on Gough street was broken into last Thursday evening and a number of knives and iukstands were stolen. The work is thought to be the reckless play of several young boys who live in the neighborhood. x Hinrichs' Reinstated. At a meeting ot the Musicians’ Unifon hela last Friday it was resolved that August Hin- richs, the conductor of the Baldwin Theater who was recently suspended, should be ref stated as a member in good standing to-mor- Tow week. Pussy En Route. . When the Royal B ue express train rolled into Camden station from New York, & few minutes before 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Conductor Bennett was sur- prised to notice a feline passenger he had put off the train at Wilmington, Del., and which was water-soaked, slowly crawl out between a couple of the vestibuled cars, shake itself and walk proudly up and down the platform. It a remarka lyt retty black cat, and it got on the t“mi:t ghill elphia. Pussy’s objective po must have been Washington, for as soon as the train moved out of Camden station Officer Wingate saw the cat siyly curl According to the state- | itself up under one of the trucks of a passenger-coach and wink one eye as the * train pulled out of the long shed. After being put off the train at Wilming- ton the cat crawled along the trucks to the engine and found a warm place on the tender. There is where it got its drench- ing, for all express trains on the road take water while in motion at a point between Wilmington and Singerly. The cat seemed attached to the train, and it was all the engineer could do to put it off the tender at Camden station. % ———————— SHOOTING A HAT The Cowboys Found a Man Who Knew How to Take and Give a Joke. As we were nearing Henrietta, Tex., t{xa conductor came into the smoking-car, in which about a dozen men were seated, and after a look around he said: . “Gentlemen, we shall be pretty certain to pick up six or eight cowboys at Hen- rietta, and they will all come in this car. They are good fellows, as we ail know, but rather wild. For instance, shoula they tind any of you wearing a plug hat they would very likely begin shooting at the hat. Sorry to put you to any \rouhle',' but I thoughit Touxht to tell you about it. ive of us were wearing plugs. Four of us made haste to get them out of sight. The fifth was a small, quiet-looking chap who had the appearance of aconsumptive, He was reading a book and enjoying his own company. He looked up, listened to the conductor and then slail_\ten his hat er his ear and went on reading. Ov"l thought I'd better speak about it, you know,” said the conductorin an apologetic way as he lingered. “Yes, I heard you, of the man addressed. “You—you will keep your “I shall.” It wasn't our funeral, and so we had nothing to say. We all took seats on the other side of the car, however, and as the train pulled up seven wild cowboys on the platform whooped and yelled and came rushing into the car. They took seats at front end of the car, while the vlug-l’:n man was seated at the rear. It wasn'ta minute before one of the gang shouted: s “Look at it, will you—look at that hat! Shoot it!"" yelled the second. g “Gimme the first pop!’ yelled a third. This third man stood up in his seat, drew his gun and fired six bullets into the | tall hat as fast as you can count, making | six holes which were plain to view. His comrades were laughing and applauding, when the stranger put down his book, rose up, and there was a pop! pop! pop! from the pistol mn his Land. The cowboy was still on his feet. A bullet split the lobe of his right ear, a second the lobe of his left, a third, fourth, fifth and sixth cut notches in his sombrero and sent pieces of felt flying in the air. After the reports had ceased the two men faced each other for twenty seconds without a word. Then the plug-hat man calmly inquired: “Is there anything more 1 can do for your crowd ?'’ ““You bet!” heartily responded the other, who had seemed a bit dazed. *‘This 'ere crowd wants to drink with you and then hev you learn us how to shoot.” They rushed over to him and shook hands, begged his pardon for shooting his hat, and the man with his ears split ad- miringly exclaimed : z “Boys, hezould hev put them six bullets into my eye, one aiter another, but he just wanted to let me live to realize that I don’t know enough to hold a gun right end fust! Bich shootin’ as hedid! Yum! Yum! Durn my hide, but I never ex- pected to see sich fine work, and this is the happiest day of my life!”—Detroit | Free Press. was the quiet reply haton?”’ e .- — Vienna's first female physician is Miss Georgine von Roth, who now presides over a high school for officers’ wives.
