They were out for a practice cruise, and after pulling at a smart pace to | the rolling mills they set sail and came along the front on the last of the ebb tide. The big tug Fearless was in the group, and off Goat Island a number of evolu- | tions were gone through. A whale was sighted, sail was at once lowered and the boats started in pursuit. All the tactics | followed in approaching, harpooning and killing the phantom monster were gone through with, and then the boats re- turned to Clay-street wharf in triumph. It was a great exhibition and thousands of people watched it from the various piers between Lombard and Folsom streets. All the boats will be out prac- ticing every day next week, so the whalers Baturday. The great race for the perpetual chal- lenge cup will be sailed to-day. Last year El Sueno won it for the Encinal Yacht Club and this year the Fawn and Cath- erine will contest for the trophy. Both yackts have been practically rebuilt for this event and an exciting contest will follow. The steamer Caroline, Captain Leale, will follow the race. Captain H.Z. Howard, superintendent of the Oceanic Steamship Company, was around the water front again yesterday. He has been away on a vacation o Skaggs Springs and returns as bright and chipper as a schoolboy. Captain Howard is an honored member of the shipping frater- nity and everybody was delighted to see bim once again in harness. The steamer Monowai will sail for Aus- tralian ports next Thursday with an over- flowing cargo. Bhe has on board nearly a thousand tons of flour, oil, doors, hops, canned goods and nails. R. B. de Lopez is sending down four trotters and some one eise has a shipment of greyhounds on the manifest. The vessel will, as usual, take a large number of passengers, among whom will be the Hon. James Mills, man- ager of the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand. Henry Peterson will not go to theVancou- ver (B. C.) regatta and carnival. The best prize offered is $500 for professional siugle sculls and the champion says thatsum would not even pay his expenses. The schooner X-‘y W. Jewettfisails in a few days for Alaska with a full cargo of machinery, lumber and generzl merchan- dise. Hitherto all the ore from the Apol- lo Consolidated gold mine has been brought to San Francisco for treaiment. The company is now going to erect 1ts own mill and will treat the quartzon Unga Island. Ali the cargo on the Jewett is for the new mill. The halibut schooners Freia and Nor- day. The fish were only 5 cents a pound and over 3500 pounds were sold during the day. The two vessels brought down 32,- 000 pounds between them, but the cap- tains expect to sell it all before Wednes- day next. The fish are packed in ice and will keep for months. It took the fisherman just seventy hours to take all the fish aboard. Lines 1000 fathoms long were run out and on one line 2000X pounds of fish were taken in one baul. “Hoodlum Harry” distinguished him- self on Jackson-street wharf 1ast Thursday night. He saved his enemy “*Bum” Flynn from drowning and added to the coals of fire by drying and feeding him. Flynn had been in the water twenty minutes be- fore Harry went to his assistance. He had been hanging to the piles and ¢ barnacles had torn the clothes of his arms and terribly lacerated his legs. This morn- ing be was able to be about again, but ap- peared worn and haggard and could not be persuaded to take even a steam beer. be T. C. Walker and Mary Garratt dia each ofher some damage in the San Joa- quin River last Thursaay night. The Gar- ratt was on her way to San Francisco and the Walker signaled her to come along- side. In doing so the wind caught the Garratt and threw her against the Walker, doing damage to the extent of $100. Yes.erday morning the barkentine 8. N. 7 Castle sailed for Honolulu. Captain Hub- bard took a well-bred pointer to sea with | him, but while the vessel is now well out | to sea the dog is back ashore. About noon Dave Crowiey and. R. Senneit of the Golden Shore were within a couple of miles of the whistlin%bnoy on the outlook for incoming ships. Suddenly they.saw something swimming in the water, and in pulling toward it discovered a pointer dog. They pulled 1t aboard, and then discovered that the poor brute’s hindquarters were almost paralyzed. They rubbed and worked over it, and finally after two hours’ labor they brought him around. The Castle went out on theearly morning tide, and the dog must have been four or five hours in the water before he was picked uv. The Pacific Coast steamer Santa Cruz arrived from the wrecked St. Paul, now Iying on_the rocks of Point Pinos light, with the following taken from the strand- ed vessel's cargo: Twenty-nine boxes three kees and two tubs of butter, two cases of honey, twenty-two cases of eggs, 432 sacks of barley, seventy-two boxes of lemons, one case of dry goods, one case of Diamond dyes, seventy-five calves, one sack of beans and one box of fruit. DESTRCYED GOOD LIQUOR. George Harritu, a Japanese Porter, Ac- cused of Malicious Mischief. Harry Collins, a saloon-keeper at 30 Stockton street, sworeto a complaint in Judge Low’'s court yesterday charging George Harritu, a Japanese, with ma- licious mischief. The Japanese was employed as a porter by Collins, but was discharged last Tues- day. That night Collins on going to his storeroom found the door locked and he could not effect an entrance. Next day he procured a duplicate key, and on entering the storeroom he found his good liguor mixed indiscriminately on the floor. The bungholes in all the casks were open, showing that some perion had maliciously caused the damage. Collins suspected his discharged porter, and yesterday he swore to the complaint for his arrest. He places his loss at $500. BURGLARS CAME AGAIN The Residence of Frederick Marriott of the News Let- ter Entered. The Thieves Censiderately Lett the Carpet and Some Heavy Pieces of Furniture Behind. The residence of Frederick Marriott, the proprietor of the News Letter, at 1016 Green street, was visited by burglars a few nights ago and everything worth carrying away was taken by the uniuvited guests. They made their way in by smashing a large pane of plate glass in the front door, and by that means were enabled to shoot back the bolt of the spring lock. No more choice locality for their calling could have been found in the City. Mr. Marriott’s house is located near the sum- mit of Russian Hill, between Jones and Leavenworth, where the shadow of a po- liceman is seldem if ever seen. Besides, at any time after 8 o’clock in the evening the locality is as quiet and lonely as a graveyard. The house has been unoccupied for some time, as Fred Marriott and his brother Edwin are living across the bay in Oak- land for the summer, leaving the dwelling on the hill in charge of a faithful servitor of the family, whose duty it is to attend to the flowers in the filrdan and see that the front gate is kept closed so stray goats cannot enier and destroy the plants. Great was his astonishment a few morn- ings ago when he opened the front gate ana discovered the broken glass in the door. He at once communicated his discovery to the owner, who saw at once that the place had been robbed. He notified Captain Lees, and men were put on the case immediately. =Th lijs the second time within six months that Mr. Marriott’s house has been robbed. On the former visit everything worth car- rying away was taken, and it may be pre- sumed that it was the same thieves who plundered ths place on the former occa- sion that paid the second visit. thinking, perhaps, that additional wealth had been placed there to make up for the lost arti- cles taken on the previous occasion. The loss has not been estimated, but it was seen that almost a clean sweep had been maae. —————— Whisky for Consumption. Most physicians admit that whisky can be used to good advantage and with excel- lent results in consumption. It should be pure and good, however. The Jesse Moore brand fills the bill, for it is pure and good. The Jesse Moore-Hunt mpany, San Francisco and Louisville. —————— Looated the Bullet. The physiciens at St. Luke’s Hospital have, located the bullet that entered the face of S, C. Nichols, who was shot on the Jersey Farm ranch a few dsys since. This will obviate the necessity of using the Cathode ray, as was contemplated in case the ball could not be located. —_— Theater Parties. There has been an unusual number of theater parties at the principal theaters this week, and after the show many have adjourned to the Cafe Zinkand for refresh- ments. The place has been crowded every night this week after the performances. SIR WALTER ScotT AND HIS WORKS, His Memory Honored by | St. Andrews Society. AN EVENING OF SONG. A Man Who Never Wrote an Impure Thought in All His Work. ORATORY HONORS POETRY. Address on the Life and Works of | the Great Scotchman by Hon. -+ Samuel M. Shortridge. The loyalty of Scotland’s sons and daughters toward the honored dead of their own land was fittingly shown last night by the St. Andrews Society, the members of which assembled in Scottish Hall to celebrate the one bundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of sir Walter Scott. An elaborate programme of music and song had been prepared with the view of | reviving tender memories of the old land, and the programme was so well carried out that the evening’s entertainment proved to ve one of the most delightful ever given by the club. The overture, ‘‘Lays of Abbottsford,” by 8t. Andrews Society, proved to be a veri- table gem, the violin solo ‘‘Annie Laurie” and the cornet solo *“Mary of Argyle” be- ing playea with all the tenderness and ex- pression required by the music and the words of those two immortal songs. Mrs. Susie Hert Mark displayed a beautiful voice and most charming expression in “My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose” and other songs. The quartet singing by Mrs. 8. L. An- derson, Miss Nellie Anderson, George St. John Bremner and George Bremner was sweet and effective, particularly “O Hush Thee, My Baby.” George Bremner's comic scotch solos were a veritable treat. Robert Howden, who sang ‘‘McGregor’s Gathering,” gave it out that he was suf- | fering from a cold. Atter his fine, clear | tenor was heard the people who applauded | him wondered how he sang when he was feeling quite weil. J. F. Fleming sang “Blue Bonnets Over the Border” in excel- lent style. James A. Keane and Miss Lelia Hill appeared in a laughable sketch entitled, “A Pair of Lunatics.” The pleasures of the evening were concluded with a dance. By special request of the society Hon. Samuel M. Shortridge delivered an address upon the life, character and works of Bir alter Scott. The speaker captured his audience at the start and held it until the close. The following are extracts from the address: Ladies and gentlemen: Tt is & very great pleasure and a matter of very great pride to me to be able to look into your faces here to- mght and to pay my poor tribute to one of Scotland’s sons, whose genius, whose good- ness has won for him & blessed fmmortality. This occasion is particularly pleasing because of the fact, not very loudly Leralded in San Francisco or elsewhere, but nevertheless it is the fact, that whatever good there is {n me I attribute to my Scotch ancestry, and when ion mix a little’ Bcotch with & slight touch of rish you ¢ & combination very hard to larceny. beat. [Applause. The [n': [otisi -}lsn Walter Scott standsont | The company mn_nnhcmus coffee, as the brightest star in the history of letters | gpices and other articles, and for some and of Scotland. You may study his poems snd his prose works, and while you may find mucn that is tender, essentially beautiful, true and sublime, you will find even more of that which teaches every man to love the land of his birth and to be true to the cause of his country. The speaker ralsed a laugh by saying that Sir Walter ‘‘was 35 years oid before be took to literary work—almost as old as Mr. Bryan.” In commenting upon the poems ‘‘Mar- mion,” “Lay of the Last Minstrei,”” “Lady of the Lake,” and the other shorter poems in which there breathed the spirit of mar- tial music, the speaker said that they were not of the passionate type of the work of Byron nor of the transcendantly vague and beautiful style of Shelley, but they were of humble sentiment, breathing patriotism; every note of music a trum- pet call to stir the beart of Scotland and of the rest of Europe as nobody eise had up that time, unlessit bad been that other Scotchman, dearly beloved Bobby Burns. Scott was in the ascendancy of his fame as a poet when he turned from poetry to gvrose and gave to the world the immortal averley novels. ‘‘How poor the world would be,” added the speaker, “how sterile Scotland wou!d seem if you would take from her literature the prose work of Sir Walter Scots!” In commenting upon the poet’s bank- ruptey, caused by his venture as a pub- er after he had served the peop& as Sheriff, Mr. Shortridge said: | detailed on the case and was not long in whether Sir Walter Scott made as much money as Sheriff as some of the Sheriffs of San Francisco have been reported to_earn—how much I do not know, because I have never been the attorney for the Sheriff. Stress was laid upon the fact that the works of Sir Walter were pure in tone. From the beginning to the end of them there breathes a spirit of purity which elevates all the sentiments, which chastens and refines the human mind—a marked contrast to the vile literature of the present generation, which future genera- tions will regard as a blot upon our age. Then the speaker concluded: As aman it is recorded of the poet that he never said an unkind word to any human being. The servants about him simply adored and worshiped Lim. He was simple, kind, generous end trustful. As a writer his thoughts were pure and elevated and were conducive to the betterment of mankind and the elevation of the race. The speaker was rewarded witha pro- longed round of applause at the close. Dancing till the stars began to pale ended the evening’s entertainment. A SUCCESSFUL CLEW. The Men Who Stole Daniel McCoy’s Diamond Cross and Other Jews elry Under Arresi The room of Daniel McCoy, a drayman, at 142 Seventh street, was entered about a week ago and his valuable diamond cross and several articles of jewelry belonging to a lady friend were stolen. The burglary was reported to the police, and. Policeman W. F. Brophy was specially getting a clew to the burglars, which he followed up with marked success. On Tuesday he arrested a young man wao gave the name of Daniel Bowman, and succeeded in recovering the cross, waich- Bowman had sold for $30. The man who purchased the cross identified Bowman, | and yesterday morning Brophy booked | him “for burglary. Detective Gibson | | recognized Bowman as Daniel Bowman{ | Whipple, a well-known pickpocket. Brophy continued his investizations, and yesterday morning arrested the other | young men whom he has reason to be- | lieve were implicated in the burglary. | They were placed in the “tanks,”” pending | developments. McCoy has been uniucky with his cross, which contains eleven diamonds. Some three or four months ago it was stolen by Nicholas Feldman, who claimed he wasa | relative of Sir Robert Peel. Detectives | | Gibson and Wren arrested Feldman, and | he got a year in San Quentin. The cross was recovered, but the diamonds had dis- appeared. McCoy reset it with diamonds, i and it was again stolen last week and again recovered by Brophy. ALL DEAD BUT ONE. The Survivor of C. A. Worth’s Sixteen Horses Did Not Fat Any of the Poisoned Feed. Two more of Charies A. Worth’s horses died yesterday, one in the afternoon and the other toward evening. This brings the number up to fifteen. All the horses that partook of the choped food have died from the effects of the arsenic which was mixed with it in large quantities. Mr. Worth had sixteen fine draft horses in bis stables on Golden Gate avenue, and now the only survivor of them all is one that hapeened to have a sore mouth and was given specially prepared food, not eating any of that fed to the others. The outrage is still enveloped in mys- tery, no clew as to the identity of its per- petrator having been discovered. How- ever, the affair i3 being investi ated with all diligence, and if the criminal can be ferreted out he will doubtless be dealt with according to his deserts. —————————— ROBBED HIS EMPLOYERS. E. E. Dunn Arresied on the Charge of Grand Larceny. . E. Dunn, foreman for the Merten Manufacturing Company, 210 Davis street, was arrested last night by Detective Cody and Private Detective Curtin ana booked at the City Prison on the charge of grand time they had been missing sume of their goods. a‘hev suspected Dunn and Curtin was employed to watch him. He suc- ceeded in tracing a barrel of cream of tar- tar, valued st $80, which Dunn had sold to R. Gallardo, 511 Eighteenth street, for $40. Curtin communicated thisfact to the company and an examination of the books showed that Dunn had made no return for the article. Dunn’s arrest was then decided n. np’lqbe full extent of the company’s loss will not be known for some time, but they say it will amount to a considerable sum. Judge Wallace’s Sentences. Judge Wallace yesterday sentenced James H. Cummings to ten years in San Quentin for ob- taining money under false pretenses. Cum- mings was convicted of swindling a Santa Rossa farmer of $5000 in a land deal. He had rior conviction against him. 5 :‘nmk Tunlin was sent to Folsom for two and & hal years for grana larceny. .- —— Trunks Moved 25 Cents. Commercial Transfer Co., 43 Sutter street.
