16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 31, 1896 in fine form, crossing the line eight lengths ahead of the other boat, breaking the coast record by'50 seconds. Time, 9 min. 4 sec. Three barge crews of the i,elgue of the Cross, racing for first and second prizes, constituted the last event of the day. The young men puiled well and the first boat won in 9 minutes. FOR LONGER LEASES. George Leviston Has Prepared s Bill Extending the Time of Leases to EL CAMPO HAS A GREAT REGATTA Fine Oar-Work Exhibited in the Big Boat Club _ Ninety-Nine Years. George Leviston has practically prepared & bill to introduce at the next meeting of the State Legislature for extending the time of leases on real property from fiity to ninety-nine years. According to the present system it is possible to lease a piece of real estate for twenty years only, and as a consequence lessees are not prompted to build very ornamental or substantial improyements. By virtue of the longer leases Mr. Levis- ton claims that improvements of a more Races. STOCKTON TO THE FORE. Heroic Endurance of C. A. Spencer in the Junior Barge Race. TIMES MADE WERE VERY GOOD The South Ends Succeeded in Dis- tinguishing Themselves in Accord- ance With Their Reputation. The second annual regatta of the South End Rowing Club took place at $El Campo under the most favorable conditions. Last year a high wind and rough bay spoiit the aquatic sports and the racing was put off to a later date, but yesterday the Signal Service took the affair directly under its care and keeping. When the athletic young rowers with their Jong, delicate boats accompanied by a crowd of friends and admirers of oar work arrived at El Campo the pretty little cove was flooded with sunshine. The bay fronting the herseshoe beach was as smooth as though it had never felt a wind. The course was a three-quarter mile.stretch and return along the shore north of the picnic grounds, a location that gave the spectators an excellent view of the contest. The referee of the races was C. F. Curry of the South End Rowing Club, while the judges were: John E. Budd, Stockton Athletic Association; A. H. Melletz, South End Rowing Club; James Nolan, Ariel Rowing Club; J. Keenan, Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club: D. Cole- man, San Francisco Athletic Club. The starters were William F. Hum- phrey, president of the Pacific Athletic Association, and John A. Lenaban, presi- dent of the San Francisco Rowing Club. The inost noticeable feature was the fine work of the Stockton crew in the Junior barge race, which they won. C. A. Spen- cer, forward waist, broke his sliding seat near the turning stake and the rest of the course be pulled sitting on the brass frame. Every move caused intense pain to the rower and though his uncomforta- ble seat was tearing the skin from his body he held on manfully to his oar and his boat won. The rowing regatta opened with an in- teresting contest, the senior singie scull for one prize between Frank Duplissea, South End Rowing Club; William McCausland, Ariel Rowing Club; and A. G. Brown, Stockton Athletic Club. Both Duplissea and McCausland are crack rowers and strong rivals, conse- quently the race between them wasa per- sonal as well as an association jcontest. The South End man, who is an old Pacific Coast champion at the sculls, was picked as the winner, and he entered his shell to set the oar-pace for his competitors, as has been his custom. At the start these two boats drew ahead of the Stock- ton craft, with the Ariel boat in the lead. Rounding the stake Duplissea passed McCausland, but lost that advantage on the home pull. He gave up without cross- ing the lire, and Brown passed him, com- ing in second. Duplissea stated that his leit arm cramped aiter turning the stake. McCausland’s time was 10 min. 7}4 sec. The next race was a senior outrigger skiff for one prize with the following en- tries: John D. Coughlan, Dolphin Swim- ming and Boating Club; Cecil C. Dennis, Alameda Boating Club; R. M. Ellis, Ariel | Rowing Club; James Wilson, Ariel Row- ing Club. Rounding the stake flag Dennis and Coughlan fouled each other, which let Ellis beat them to the finish. The race was easily won by Wilson in 11 mun. 6 sec. | This is his first single race, and being a lightweight—135 pounds—his work is con- sidered quite creditabie. Coughlan would have done better had he not steered wiid and persisted in throwing his boat in among the wharves. The junior four-oared barge race was contested by the following crews: Stockton Athletic Association—Thomas Car- keek, bow; C. A. Spencer, forwardwaist; H. A. Swift, afterwaist; C. Davis, stroke; William Dolan, cockswain. Ariel Rowing Club—J. Monti, bow; A. Ra- couillat, forwardwaist; J. Bockman, after waist, N. J. Prendergast, stroke, E. Wilson, cockswain. Ban Francisco Athietic Club—John Maroney, bow; Frank Raphsel, forwardwaist; John Dilges, afterwaist; Charles Dunnigan, stroke; Thomas McDermott, cockswain, Olympic Club—Bert Collins, bow; Paul Stur- divant, forwardwaist; Fercy Morse, afte waist; James McElroy, stroke; Tommy G feather, cockswain. South End Rowing Club—A. Haines, bow; Matt Breen, forwarawaist; James Pallas, after- waist; J. E. Scully, stroke; George McGrill, cockswain. Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club—T. J. Kennedy, bow; W. 0. Patch, forwardwalst; E. P. Sullivan, afterwaist; John D. Coughia: stroke; George Roach, cockswain. After a long, weary season of needless ‘“jockeying’’ for a head-start, during which the spectators became completely worn out, finally the barges got away, all con- siderably bunched together, except the South E{-lds, ‘who had the outside. und- ing the stake there were several fouls, but the boats drifted apart, and on the home- stretch the Stocktons were leading, with the South Enders following. Cockswain Dolan lost the finishing-line and almost put his boat into the wharf, but barely esclPed, and only won the race by a half- boat’s length. The time was9 min. 10 sec. The next race was a junior outrigger skiff contest by Fred W. Ayers, Alameda Boating Club; 'W. C. Patch, Dolphin Boat Club. Patch was not scheduled to row, but the other contestants failing to come in pulled to make a race. Ayers'led from the start, but was closely pushed by his much lighter opponent, and beat him out just three boat lengths. Time, 11 min. 55 sec, The fifth race was the senior four-oared barge contest between the following crews: South End Rowing Club—Henry Bodie, bow; Gus Carson, forwardwaist; Robert MacArthur, afterwaist; K Dupliss s McGrill, cockswain, ¢ et stroke; George San Francisco Athletic Club—Thomas Barry, ‘;bgfiv; Ha‘rlry;sml:t“h, fo(rjwlrd waist; Daye Camp- , aitérwaist; Geor, z Tom McDermott, éockswary, _>tes stroke; This race was most interesting from the fact that when the two crews have pulled against esch other before the Sonth End boat was the winner. The other crew have been anxious for auother race and had trained hard for yes- terday's pull. . At the crack of the pistol the San Frap. cisco Athletic Club crew took water firgt and gained a slight lead, but the South End crew quickly caught up and it was anvbody’s race to the stake, with the South End crew rowing a long, swingin g thirty-tive to the minute stroke and thefr ogponents rowing as high as forty-five to e minute. g After turning the stake the South Ends’ clever little cockswain, George McGrill, showea his steerinz ability by keeping close inshore out of the tide, while the other cockswain kept his men out in the stream. The South Ends came down the stretch ] ermanent and substantial character will e made. In.the larger cities of the East long-running leases are the rule. Mr. Leviston claims to be the represen- tative of capitalists and large land-owners who would be willing to lease for long terms providing that suitable improve ments be put on these properties. This he says will work to the interest of botn land- owner and merchant, as the merchant can be sure of a place to sell his waresat a low rent, and the land-owner will be pos- sessed of a piece of property that paysa large and assured percentage on its value, as the building being of a proper sub- stantial nature will guarantee the rent. ————————— IR0QUOIS ACTIVITY. The Big Picnic and the Godfatherhood of Two Clubs. At the meeting of the Iroquois Club on Friday night the great annual Iroquois picnic which will give S8an Jose a Demo- cratic majority next Sunday was dis- cussed and boomed. Tickets seemed to be going like McKiniey badges, but special committees were appointed to see that all Government employes and others are given a chance to buy. Chairman Gildea said that 2000 people ought to go down to Agricultural Park on the 7th of Jure to share the fun. The club is about to be godfather to two new clubs. It was reported that there are enough students in the State University who are Democrats to get up a club and that they propose to organize one. Max Popper, A. D. Lemmon, E. P. E. Troy and J. H. Simmons were ngpomled a committee to go over and see about it. Then there 1s to be a new Iroquois Club in Sacramento, and it was resolved that the San Francisco club should attend to the installation of its officers on the night before the State Convention, when most of the Iroquois Club will be in Sacramento. MAKES A TINTED VENLS, Otto Dobbertin Discovers the Art of Coloring Plaster of Paris. English Breakfast Tea Plays a Hith. erto Unsuspected Part in Sculptyre. Otto Dobbertin, the sculptor, and Wil- liam Keith, the artist, have studios just vis-a-vis to one another on Pine_street. This is a great convenience to the disciples of the brush and chisel and an advantage to art, for in moments of inspiration Keith can rush across the hallway and confide toa sympathetic heart, “Dobber- tin, I have discovered a new way of paint- ing a picture,” Dobbertin, being in the business himself, can enter feelingly into his friend’s exultation. Up to the present the sculptor has sawed wood, or rather chiseled marble, and said nothing about discoveries on his own account. It is harder to juggle with plaster of paris and dull gray clay than it is with oil paint and water colors, and sculptors know that the roseate tints of early dawn and the red glows of sunset are not for them. The atmosphere of dis- covery is infectious, however. Dobbertin began to wonder whether he could not make a tinted Venus, or at least a figure that would have a glow warm enouch to make him listen without envy when Keith talked about art that rivals the tintsof a Turkish mat. Yesterday Dobbertin found it. He had been working for some days on the por- trait bust of GMins Binckley, a young artist whose fluffy yellow hair is admired where- ever she goes. In a flash of inspiration he had conceived a method for mellowing the cold, white plaster till it became rich and wara in tint like a meerschaum pipe that has been smoked to/a turn by an expert, Dobbertin had said nothing to Keith—he worked on his inspiration for two davs, Yesterday he found that it exceeded his most sanguine expectations. ‘“Eurekal” he cried, rushing across the passage.to communicate his discovery to Keith, but the artist was softly snoozing in an after- noon siesta. The thoughtful Dobbertin withdrew, bottling up his enthusiasm in his own breast till the'artist should awake, When asked about his discovery later in ie day, he said: “Oh!it is simple, quite simple when you have found how to do it. So. You first have the bust in plaster of paris, it is cold and colorless, but to give 1t a soft, warm tint you dip it in tea, strong black tea. After the dip the bust is no more white, it is very beautiful and mellow in tone. The tea?” Yes it is what rou call English breakfast tea and it must be strong till it is black. The next thing i3 to take water colors, mix them in tea, very thin and lay them lightly on the bust. When the colors dry the work can be polished with wax and turpentine and it is completed. ‘“You see that bust,” and the sculptor pointed to a plaster of paris bust-of one of San Francisco’s leading citizens that stood neglected on a shelf of the studio, “that is as cold and dead as ciay, but you see that,”” and this time he indicated the charming bust of the pretty young artist that occupied the place of honor in the sculptor’s workshof, ‘“‘that bust bas the soft, warm look of life. Itis a new pro- cess, I know, but I believe that in English breakfast tea lies the future of colored stat- uary.” —————— STOCKBROKER ARRESTED. C. P. Harris Accused of Embezzlement by G. H. Perry. C. P. Harris, & stockbroker at 318 Pine street, was arrested yesterday upon a charge of felonious embezzlement pre- ferred by G. H. Perry, a collector in the office of Jacob Rauer. Several months ago Harris became financially embarrassed through an unfortunate speculation, and was obliged to suspend busine: He called a meeting of his creditors, and, ac- cording to his story, promised them to y them, provided they would not press im until he got on a financial footing in. .sfinrfla stated yesterday that nearly all of those to whom he was under obligations o his terms, and those who did not commit themselves led him to believe that they would not cause him any trouble.

If the Trustees Refuse to Com- ply, Legal Proceedings Will Be Taken. SEVERAL PREACHERS IN VIEW. But No Formal Call Will B: Extended for Several Weeks—Other Church News. Those members of the First Congrega- tional Church who are not in sympathy with Dr. Brown’s faction are about to make a determined effort to have the church ovened. It is their intention to supply the pulpit with some local preacher for a few weels, but very soon a call will be ex- tended to a pastor to occupy the pulpit permanently. The. application will pe made to the trustees, as the church was closed by their order in the first instance. The applica- tion to sell the church having been denied, the anti-Brown church members hold that the trustees have no right to keep the church hermetically sealed. They want it opened for Sunday-school, prayer meetings, etc., as well as for regular services, and if their request is denied it is their intention to see if they cannot legally compel the trustees to give them back what they claim is their church. Several men have already been taken under consideration as probable successors to Dr. Brown in the pulpit of the First Church, but as they are none of them con- sidered strong enough to fulfill all require- ments, th-ir names have not even been spoken outside the small circle of leading spirits who_ have taken them under ad- visement. No'secret is made of the fact, however, that it is intended to call a pas- | tor to the First Church as soon as the building is reopened ana_things have got into something like running order. On the other hand, those members of the congregation who wish to sell the | calculations. Those who had qualified building on Post street and build again on | were Terrill, Dow, Downing and Camp- Van Ness avenue have no itention of re- | bell. Terrill'is probably the best man and opening the First Church where it now stands. They are not satisfied that the application to sell has been denied, and it is their expressed intention to wait a while and see if a second application to dispose of the building will not be more successful than the first was, Dr. Brown’s friends say that it is a ques- tion whether the members of the congre- gation who stand by the old church have the right to call a new pastor; it is their belief that they have not. There is & majority of officers and dea- cons against opening the church on Post street and without their cons'nt a pastor could not legally be called. The leaders of the Brown faction say, however, that if the old church is sold and a new one erected on Van Ness avenue they will not oppose themselves toa call being extended to some Eastern pastor of note, proviaed he be a strong and eloquent man. His friends say that Dr. Brown intends to re- tire magnanimously as soon as the new church is built. Until then the Brown party will, they state, go on holding services in Golden Gate Hall, at least as long as there is congregation enoungh to defray expenses, and it is their belief that their fold will not suffer for lack of sheep. As both the party which wishes to re open the church and the party which de. sires it to remain closed are confident of success, it is difficult to predict how the affair will end. One thing is certain—a strenuous effort is to be made to reopen the First Congregational Church and ap- point a pastor.

Beautiful Site for the Sloat Memorial at Monterey. - OAKLAND, CaL., May 30.—Lieutenant Landis and Lieutenant Lambert of the United States army, accompanied by Major E, A. Sherman, were at Monterey yesterday and selected the spot upon which the Sloat monument, to be erected by the United States Government, to com- memorate the acquisition of California by our Government and the raisingof the flag by Commodore Sloat, is to stand. The site is an ideal one, being at an elevation of about 300 feet above the waters of the Pacific and close to one of the aneles of the old fort. The cornerstone will be laid July 7 with great ceremony and all the pomp of a great military pageant. SPEEDY OEKLAND RIDERS, They Won Four Out of Five Events at the Central Park Track. Kenna and Agnew Captured the Ama- teur Events, Dow and Boyden the Professional. Tt was a great day for the cyclers from Oakland at the Central Park races yester- | day. J. R. Kenna, Acme Club, won two amateur events; A, H. Agnew, Acme Club, another, and A. M. Boyden, Reliance Club, the mile professional. All the races were close and exciting. There was no “loaf- ing,” and altogether it was one of the best meets held here. ’ The races in the afternoon proved one thing that has been evident at the last few meets, and that is that Kenna is very nearly the speediest amateur on the coast to-day. Heisa new man on the track, but rides with a determination and skill that brought him in twice a winner yes- terday. The half-mile handicap, professional, in the afternoon furnished several sur- | prises. First Campbell beat Foster in their heat. Then Downing defeated Olsen. Next Dow and Cushing beat Bob | Longand Allan Jones, and then Johnny | Edwards did not even qualify in his heat. But it was the final heat that upset all | should have won, but he miscounted the | laps and quit one round too soon. He re- | covered enough to get into third place. Dow beat Downing in the sprint, and as | both are San Jose boysthe Garden Citys were naturally delighted, Dow is showing splendid form, and sur- | prised his most ardent admirers. It is | quite a card for any rider to beat such men | as he did gesterday. | A. M. Boyden, of the Reliance Ciub, | Vakland, is another rider who was slow as | an amateur, but is making a good showing | as a professional. He won the mile handi- | eap last night in clever style, riding the entire distance unpaced, he being the limit man. Following is the summary: . AFTERNOON.

Comerford and Mrs. J. J. Miller Suffer Se- . rious Injuries. SLIPPERY TRACK THE CAUSE. Brakes Could Not Hold the California- Street Car From Going Down the Grade. Bhortly after 9 o’clock Friday eveninga California-street cable-car collided with a dummy of the Sutter-sireet Company line at the corner of Polk street. Both cars were thrown from the track and two ladies were severely injured, being crushed be- tween the cars, Miss Mary A. Comertord of 1333 Cali- fornia street was badly bruised on the knee and foot, and Mrs. J. J. Miller of 2902 Sixteenth street also had her knee and leg crushed seriously. _ The Polk and Larkin streets car had the right of way and was slowly crossing Cali- fornia street going north. The gripman saw the California-street car coming down the grade from Larkin street and expected it would come to a standstill at the corner. Instead, however, as it approached Polk street its speed increased, the gripman apparently tmvini> lost ail control of it. By this time the Polk-street car was cross. fng the California-street track when the long car crushed into 1t with 2 noise that was heard several blocks away. None of the passengers of the California- street car was injured, but on the dummy Mrs. Miller and Miss Comerford, who were seated at the rear end of the side seat, were piuned so tightly between the cars that it was necessary to pry the cars apart in order to extricate them. Miss Comerford, the more agile of the two, succeeded in jumping partially on to the seat to save herself, and thus escaped more severe injuries, but Mrs. Miller was caught by the headlight of the California- street car and crushed against the seat of the dummy. Dr. Brackett, who was on one of the cars, promptly went to the assistance of the ladies, both of whom were taken to their home in carriages. Yesterday both ladies were resting com- paratively easily. It was not possible, however, to tell how seriously the shock might affect Mrs. Miller, as she was in a delicate condition at the time of the acci- dent. Both cars were but slightly damaged; the Sutter-street car had simply a stan- chion of the seat broken. Superintendent Mcghee of the California-street Company said; “The track was very slippery, owing to the fog,and the gripman had no control whatever of the car. Both gripman and conductor had turned on the brake, but the car slid along, although the wheels were set perfectly still. Really no oneis to blame, for it is next to impossible to stop a car on a down grade when the rails are covered with moistare. “As soon as we ascertained that some- body was hurt we sent our physician, Dr. Barger, to the scene, and the Sutter-street company sent Dr. Dore.” The Sutter-street company representa- tives suid they were not to blame at all, as toeir car—No. 8—had the right of way; nevertheless they had rendered what med- ical assistance they could.
