After Rounding the Presidio Buoy the Yachts Had a Clear Run, Before the Wind, for Goat Island and Thence Around the Southampton Shoal Buoy. of the Prettiest Scenes Ever Witnessed on the Bay. The Tug Vigilant Followed Th THE TRUANT WON THE CUP It Was an Exciting Contest From Start to Fin- ish. A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS Halyards Gave Way and Spars Went by the Board in Sev- eral Instances. CHALLENGES NCW IN PROSPECT Catherin> Beat the Fawn Over Seven Minutes and Thus Regains Her Standing. The Pacific Inter-club Yacht Associa- tion’s regatta yesterday was not altogether a success. Owing to the light wind that prevailed in the morning many boats could not reach the starting point, and in consequence the California and Corinthian clubs had to do without some of their cracks. Among those who were becalmed in Oakland Creek were the Lucille, Pilgrim, Sea Fox, Hope, Surprise, Halcyon, U aand I and the uillie V. Had they only been able to cross the bay they might have made a closer contest in many of the classes. As it was the race for the Mac- donough cup and the prize flags was a series of the most exciting races ever seen on the bay. Whether the pest yachts won is still in doubt, as the Elia carried away her throat halyards and had to retire from the race; the Sleipner lost her topsail and for a few moments was almost a wreck and the Zolus broke her topmast. The Harpoon’s jibstay carried away, but Captain Cook had the damage re- pairea in a few minutes. In spite of this handicap the Harpoon finished well ahead in her class, and was only beaten out by the Clara of the Corinthians by a short margin. The Harpoon was the only entry in the 86-foot class, as the Thelma and Edna did not reach the starting line in time, the Clara was practically the only in the 44-foot class, as the Elia was dis- sbled and withdrew. The performances of the starters were as follows: nd Elapsed YAcHT. Tiime, Finish. I 4:15:468 2:87:29 5/did not | finish :4914:14:45 | 2:82:56|2 :81:57 The Harpoon was not ready to cross the line within the limit, and in consequence she Jost 2 minutes and 36 seconds on the start. As will be seen by the above table the Macdonough cup was won by the yacht Truant with the Catherine second.” The Fawn finished in the ruck, yet, strange to say, in the race for the perpetual chal- lenge cup she beat the Catherine easily. The latter was built especially to beat the Encinal’s crack, but got the worst of it. Yesterday she turned the tables and showed her heels to the cracks. The yachts that won flags in their class were the Truant and Catherine in the 30- footers, the Alert and Pheenicia in the 25- footers, the Guinevere and Nereid in the yawls and the Clara and Harpoon in the 44 and 36 footers. In the race between the Elia and Clara the former was leading by almost a min- ute when the accident happened. After that the a bad it all her own way. The best showing of the day was that made by the Ban Jose yacht Papoose. She sailed like a witch and was wonder- 2:40:46 fully well handled. The timers had not her official measnrement, but when it is procured the chances are that it will be shown that she bas beaten some of the best yachts in the bay. The officers of the Pacific Inter-club Yacht Association for 1896 are as follows: Charles G. Yale, president; C. L. Tisdale, vice-president: P. R. I’'Hommedieu, secretary; Charles W.

INCREASED TAXES. The Merchants’ Assoclation Will Prob- ably Enter a Protest Agalnst the Ralse. At its quarterly meeting to-night the Merchants’ Association will probably take some action in relation to the recent raise in the City assessment rate. The right of the State Board of Equalization to raise the assessment 20 per cent is seriously questioned. One of the officers said yes- terday: ‘““There does not seem to be any doubt that the action of the equalizers is a proper subject for review by the Supreme Court. That the courts may take cogni- zance of the action of the hoard seems to be settled by the fact that the action of the Railway Commissioners was made the subject of legal investigation. The equal- izers .seem_to stand in much the same position. We believe that there can be no official act without some redress. The equalizers may possibly be right, and in that case a decision by the court would settle the question, as it would should it 35 fon,ml that a rank injusiice has been one.’ ———— Grand Fall Opening, Imported hats, bonnets and all the leading novelties on Thursday, September 10, at Mozart’s Parisian Millinery, corner Sixt) d Market street: - — SHOT AT THE CONDUCTOR A Chinaman Who Objected to the Southern Pacific Com- pany’s Methods. Hs Drew His Revolver and Fired Three Shots at Harry Enwick. Harry Knwick, the early-morning-train conductor from San Jose to this City, is contentedly nursing a few bruises and abrasions, while . offering up thanks that nothing more serious has happened to him. . Monday morning Enwick signaled his train out of San Jose to arrive here at 6:30, Among his passengers was a Chinaman who had barely caughbt it, not having time to stop for his ticket at the office. The heathen was not aware of the arbi- trary assessment imposed by the railroad company under the name of *‘train rates,’” which imposes a fine of 10 per cent on p sengers who do not purchase their tra; poriation in advance, and he raised vocif- erous objections to the tax. They were of no avail, however, and he brooded over the supposed discrimination to such an extent that he was at real highbinder figh(ix heat when Lawrence station was R HAA st ped on the platf nwicl stepped on the platform, in the regular course of his auty, nn'ho gracefully waved his hand to the engineer to make another start. Bang! bang! bang! was heard, and the smoking revolver of the Chinaman l;oured out three leaden pellets calcu- ated to take tbe last breath out of any man if properly directed. Enwick is athletic, and above all he is sprightly. The first shot and the whiz of the bullet warned him of his danger. He did everything but try to throw the race in his run for cover, and the last two bul- lets never caught him. The Chinaman has not been captured either. ——— Trunks Moved 25 Cents.

EXCURSIONS ON THE BAY A Slow Long-Distance Race Be- tween Two Ambitious Ama- teur Rowers. WATER FRONT PHILANTHROPY How a Prisoner En Route to San Quentin Prison Lost a Deputy Sheriff. Admission day was observed on the water front with the fluttering of bright bunting from flagstaff and masthead, from dock to dock. Almost all the shipping in the harbor flew their national ensigns, and some of the vessels, especially the State tugs, were handsomely decorated. A number of private excursions took place to different points on the bay, one of which wasabosrd the schooner Rosie H. It was composed of the Winter Cotillon Club, and was chaperoned by Assistant Chief Wharfinger H. 8. Scott, who was in turn assisted in his sea-social duties by Chief George W. Root. Stephen Gill and Henry Miller of the water front, who are not professional boatmen, but who are, . nevertheless, rivals at the oar, pulled a Whitehall race yesterday morning around Alcatraz. The purse was for §20, with John Krempke as stakeholder and referee. The two ath- letes struck out vpulling a good stroke till they had got about halfway to the island, when they slacked down, and for the rest of the contest they evidenily pulled to see who would get in last. How- eyer, Miller led his competitor home by about two miles and claimed the stakes. Gill entered a protest on the ground that rpoise or some big fish fastened on to his boat’s keel and heid him back, He says he would not have minded be- ing beaten =0 badly if it had not been his wedding day and he was afraid his pros- pective bride would prefer the victor, Mil- ler, and refuse to marry a poor oarsman. However, she was not influenced by Gill's defeat, and they were spliced just as soon as he got his boat bailed out. He will withdraw his protest. Yesterday afternoon a deputy Sheriff from some interior county en route with a handcuffed prisoner to Ban Quentin had quite a scare at the Tiburon ferry, He purchased a regular ticket for his prisoner and then was persuaded to buy for him- self a round-trip excursion ticket to Schuetzen Park from some seller on the street. ‘When he went to pass through the ferry gate he was stopped, while gls prisoner, whose ticket was all right, was given ad- mission and disappeared down the wharf. The officer had to return to the window and procure the proper ticket. Then came a wild search for the lost convict. He was supposed to have escaped, and the deputy, with several police offi- cers, sought high and low among' the freight sheds.and wharves without suc- cess. finally a deckhand informed the searchers that & man with handcuffs on was wandering around the boat looking for the Deputy Sheriff and asking if that was really the steamer for San Quentin. Bo they found him sitting on the outer end of the ferry-boat enjoying the yacht race while waiting for his convoy to get & iihe thetsuaballpcliohuse Ha 'he three-mas schooner Hera, Caj tain G. Anderson, arrived from Oihotfi Sea with 000 codfish. There was no other vessels in that locality and the Hera had that fishing-bank all to herself. Her catch is eonuifind to the McCallum Fish- ing and Trading Company. Next Saturday night at 12 o’clock the tug Vigilant, Captain Randall, will leave Mission wharf No. 1 for a fishing trip out- side the heads. The party will return Sunday afternoon. Last trip of the tug a ton of fish was caught and Captain Ran- dunu says he will bring back two tons this me. —— Williams Had an Outing, Admission day for Dick Williams, recently em Up, and the Combination Made One \ convicted of extortion in the United States District Court and now awalting sentence, was not altogether witnessed from behind the bars. Early yesterday morning, accompanied by a Deputy Sheriff, he left the County Jail, pre- sumably to visit his new attorney, George D. Collins, He Spent some little time there and then calied on several friends who are said to be greatly interested in having nim remain silent. The resuit of these conlerences is not definitely known, but it is said not to have been satisfactory. Williams will appear before Judge Morrow for sentence to-day, and it is not unlikely that something sensational will develap. FIREMAN WON FIRST.

A Warmly Contested Baseball Match at the Presidio. i Something like 500 people graced the grand stand and bleachers at the Presidio yesterday afternoon to witness the base- ball game between the Calliopeans and the Barkers. A number of ladies were pres- ent, and the keenest interest was displayed in the game. At the call of time considerable talk was occasioned by the ifttroduction of Gorman into the game, whom the Calliopeans claimed was a professional. The Calliopean Club beirw an undefeated team feared their first Waterloo at the bands of the Barkers, but were finall talked into letting the game go on wllg Gorman behind the bat. After the first inning the Cailiopeans bad things pretty much their own way. Golinsky in the box iumd'd in fooling the Barkers from the rst.

PLEDGES NOR PROMISES MADE A Novel Idea Suggested for the Com- ing Campaign by Johu McCarthy. Supervisor Joseph Dimond will accept the nomination for Mayor tendered him by the Buckley Democratic municipal convention on Saturday, and in due time will appear before the convention and sig- nify his acceptance in a formal manner. John McCarthy, who is the confidant and political adviser of the nominee, in the coursa of an interview, vouchsafed, in the absence of Mr. Dimond from the City, positively that Dimond would allow his name to be placed at the head of the ticket put up by the Buckleyites. “There is no need of my reviewing the standing of Supervisor Joe Dimond,’ said Mr. McCarthy, “for every one knows his | record as a Supervisor, and knows that he is as honest a man as ever served the peo- ple of San Francisco. Even his bitterest political enemies freely admit that there is nothing to be said against him per- sonally. ‘“I'hat he has ability is also generally admitted, and the fact that he has signi- | fled his intention of accepting the nomi- nation indicates that he will give the | duties of his office proper attention. Thus the people will have a candidate who is honest, able and willing. “1 want to add that Dimond 1s abso- lutely free of pledges or promises, and the only pledge he will make in accepting the nomination is to try and give the people ot San Francisco the best administration they ever had. There has been some talk of the Republicans patting up Supervisor ‘Taylor as a candidate for Mayor. I think they could not do hetter. He would cer- | tainly make a good executive, and the | contest between him and Dimond would prove a most interesting one and call out one of the largest votes ever polled here. “Should Taylor be so fortunate as to se- cure the indorsement of his party for chief executive of San Francisco I would sug- gest that both he and Dimond go fishing or hunting or wheeling into the interior during the campaign and leave the fight- ing to their friends.” In response to a direct question Mr. Me- Carthy said that he had spoken to Mr. Di- NEW TO-DAY.
