OFF THE HEADS Vessels Coming and Going in a Constant Stream. | Whalers, Coasters and Deep- Water Ships Were All Bunched. Unusually Lerge Shipments of Flour Being Made to Australia and Oriental Ports. Another big fleet of coasters and deep water ships went to sea yesterday. Among the number were the Charles W. Morgan and the California, the last of the whaling fleet to leave before next March. The British ship Kifbarn and the Ameri- can bark Mohican also went out, while several sugar boats from the islands got in, and in consequence the offing was kept dotted with sails all day long. At oue time durine the early aiternoon the whaling bark Caliiornia, the British sliip Kelburn, loaded with wheat for Ipswich, England, and the bark Mohican for Honolulu were close ogether and ail making ssil. The old whaler was last but nevertheless she got sail on in very quick order and was not so very far be- hind the clippers when they sank under the horizon. The barkentines Irmgard and W. H. Dimond both got in from Hawaii yester- day. The Irmgard was off Point Arena last Sunday, and Captain Schrritt fully expected to reach port Sunday night or Monday morning. At one time he saw in the distance a four-masted ship, two square riggers and a British bark. The latter he took to be the Anglesey, now out ninety days from Newcastle, Australia. The latter vessel was chartered at a high rate to load wheat for Europe, but the chartering party expired a couple of days ago. Captain Lewis will now have to accept a 35 per cent reduction in order to secure a load for his vessel. The W. H. Dimond was off the heads at 10 o’clock last night, but cou!d not She left Hawaii a day after the Irmgard, and the latter only gotin a few hours ahead. Both vessels encoun- tered light bafiling winds off the coast. There was a small fire in the iazarette of | the schooner Mary Dodge yesterdey. She is su_ar-lader and for several days has been lying in Mission Bay awaiting a chance to dock at the sugar refinery. Early in the morning the fire was discov- ered and a boat’s crew sent ashore to call assistance. The fire was put out by a bucket brigade, bowever, and the damage will not exceed $100. The Brtish ship Marlborough Hill is now out 131 davs from a small Central American port for Tacoma ard no word has teen heard from her. The under- writers are getting uneasy and yesterday 10 per cent reinsurance was paid on the vessel. The schooner Golden Gate has been laid up in Oakiand Creek for nearly a year and Captain Johnson has become tired waiting for auother trip. A few daysago he bought out Captain Peterson’s interests in the Compeer and will go out as master of that vessel when she sails for Central America. Captain Peterson has been appointed to the command of the J. M. Wetherwax. The Harbor Commissioners decided yes- terday to repile Broadway wharf on the recommendaation of Cnief Engineer Holmes. It was at first intended to put in ordinary piles, but when President | Colnon pointed out that if they were creosoted they could be used dgain when the whar! was pulled down and rebuilé] next year it was decided to use creosoted piles. When rebuilt the construction will be the same as that of the Pacific and Folsom street wharves. The Lancing is loading for Sydney and among her cargo will be 2000 tons of floar. The Andelans will also take 2500 tons for the same port, and altogether there is from 50,000 to 60,000 barrels in sight for immediate shipment to Austrzlia, The tirst shipment of brick for the new ferry depot will come down from the San Joaquin Brick Company on the Undine. | It will arrive to-morrow. The California Navigation and Improve- ment Company is building two new barges, to cost §10,000 each, for the river trade. This is due to the extra demand made upon the company’s efficient ser- vice by the increase in the carrying busi- ness of the Valley road. FAIR DID NOT SHOOT. The Male Heir to the Eig Estate Meets Mr. Delmas in a Notary’s Office and Is Very Mild. Charles Fair and D, M. Delmas came face to face yesterday morning in the office of Notary Phillips, room 90, in the Crocker building. The oceasion was the taking of the depo- sition of Mr. Fair in the suit of Caldwell to recover the package of letters written by Senator Fair to the plaintiff and which he alleges were secured from him by Mr. Fair through misrepresentation. The deposition was not taken, being postponed for a week at the request of Mr. Fair, but one purpose of the citation was served. Mr. Fair appeared and submitted himself to the jurisdiction of the notary like any other peaceable and law-abiding citizen, That he would do so was a question in doubt, made so by Mr. Fair himself. It has been the common gossip of the street lately how Mr. Fair has been swear- ing all sorts of dire things agamnst Mr, Delmas. It has been declared that Mr. Fair bad certain vengeances to wreak against Mr. Delmas because of his activity in behalf of his client, Mrs. Craven, and against the Fair heirs or the Fair estate, and that at his (Mr. Fair's) first meeting with Mr. Delmas he designed to shed his (Mr. Delmas’) blood. So when Mr. Fair was called to meet Mr. Delmas within the limitations of & notary’s office some liitle interest was felt in the incident by the friends of the one and the other. Butit wasall very mild. Mr. Delmas and the notary were on hand at 10 o’clock, neither of them being armed so tar as ap- peared. Mr. Fair, accompanied by his at- torney, Oharies Heggerty, also reported | on time, and Mr. Heggerty, on behaif of | his client, asked that the matter go over until December 12, which request Mr. Deimas granted, not wishing to cause any unnecessary inconvenience to Mr. Fair No exhibition of ill temper even marred the meeting, the party, apparently in the best of humor, descending the elevator to- 0 i Sy 4 Among the Fleet Off the Heads Yesterday Were the Whaling Bar!

There was little lolling in the gallery, cosy tete-a-tete nooks found no tenants and the ever watchfal chaperon used her lorgnettes for the paintings alone, assembled, and toasting their toes before the bright grate fire, discussed—the fight. Joullin acted as master of ceremonies. His brothers of the brush approached him scendingly discoursed of uppercuts and other scientific terms of the arena. “Times are not hard,” said Joullin.

And the bonnets—well they were of the kind that the theatrical man- ager so discourteonsly requests to be left in the dressing-room. The ultra-smart set—the buds who are to blossom at the cotillon this evening, the belles of the past and the matron whose dancing days are not yet over—they were conspicuous by their absence. The beaux found representatives in Horace Platt, always smiling and polite, Addison Mizner and Walter Martin. Moving in the gaily dressed throng, now dodging behind gorgeous plumes and flashing rhinestones, where a few plebian sailor hats. Tkeir owners stood in wrapt admiration before landscapes and figures, oblivious of their surroundings, absorbed by the pictures and by the world forgot. On the ground floor tables were spread and punch, icecream, coffee, tea and chocolate were offered to the guests. But the crowd at Hopkins' last evening was not a crowd that cared much for refresh- ments. Not more than half of those pres- ent visited the refreshment hall and not one paid the tables the honor of a secona call. It was athrong that was neither thirsty nor hungry, a throng that came early and did nov stay late. On the reception committee were Horace G. Platt, Edward Bosqui, L. P. Latimer, J. C. Johnson, W. G.

The work of local artists is now displayed in the winter collection in order that the con- tributors may get the advantage of the holiday demand for pictures. Artists have good cause to congratulate themselves on the excellence of the ex- amples exhibited. The pictures repiesent | the color and life of Pacific Coast subjects. Much of the scenery is of mountain, glen, forest, field and seashore of California. To institute comparisons with former displays or note deviations it may be sai that a tendency to figure-painting is cernible. A striving to produce startling impressions is not evident, The artists | bave not gone ont of their way to imitate Beardsley. Gibson girls are not brought into prominence. In short, there islittle of the freakish or sensational in the exhi- bition. Many of the ;laicturn are little gems of merit—bits of landscape worthy of study on their lights and shadows. The color of California scenery is everywhere dominant. In the main gallery on the line Thomas Hill has four examples, namely: “April Showers,” sketch from nature; “Sunset on the Foothills,” cattle; “Evening in the Pathless Woods'’'; **Morning in the Foot- hills,” cattle. | William Keith exhibits several pic- tures—*‘Summer, Hills Above Niles Can- on,” “An Old Gaberiunzie,” “A Forest eteran in the Redwoods,”” ‘“‘Autumn Twilight” and “Springzime,"’ J.

Robinson’s marine, “The .Dying Gale, Farallones,” is a clear and effective piece of work. Itisin the conservatory. Elizabeth Strong is creditably repre- sented. The examvles from her studio are: “The Stranger,” “Fuss” and *Kit- teus.” J. D. Strong exhibits a portrait. A. Joullin’s sanddunes are worthy of study; ‘‘On the Trail’’is a meritorious piece of work; ‘‘Chinatown Shop'’'—a study—gains attention. “Glenwood Grapes’’ is the title of a pleasing picture painted by Mary T. Menton. . H. S. Fonda’s painting, ‘‘Reveries,” Finisterre, France. was in the salon last vear. The catalogue number is twenty- aip&k in the main gallery. The exhibition is enriched by some pic- tures of merit from Charles Rollo Peters’ studio, Monterey. “Sunset Glow Amongst the Sanddunes’ is the title of one picture. “Near St. Cheron” and “Fontainebleau’ are examples of excellent work by E. M. Pissis, “A Bevere Criticism,” by C. C. Judson, will attract much more than pass- ing notice. The *“Sketch of an Old House,” by Amanda Austin possesses merit. Yelland, J. H. E. Partington, Helen Hyde, C. C. Judson, Oscar Kunath, Molly Hutchinson, Sarah E. Bender, Louise M. Carpenter, L. P. Latimer and many other artists of note are represented.

One a Saloon Opposite the En- trance to the Central Police Station. The Police Are Making Every Effort to Capture the M:n, Who Seem to Defy Them. One of the most daring burglaries that has probably ever been perpetrated in the City is being investigated by the police with small chance of finding the culprits. The daring part of the burglary lies in the fact that it was committed in a saloon on the corner of Ash avenue and Larkin street, the entrance to which is directly opposite the entrance to the Central police station. The saloon is occupied by Henry Peard, who lives in the upper flat with his wife and family. Tuesday morning when Peard opened the saloon he saw at once that during the night it had been visited by burglars. The cash register had been forced openm, but the burglars met with a disappointment, as Peard is careful toremove all the money from it every night on closing. Noattempt had apparently been made to force open the safe, probably from the fear that the noise might attract the attention of the police- men on duty at the Céntral station. The cigars had been carefully sampled and a box of the finest brand was selected and carried away. How maby bottles of liquor were stolen is not known, The police were at once notified and an investigation showed that an entrance had been efiecxed by the rear door. A gate leads into the rear from Ash avenue, and it was an easy matter to force it open. A hole was cutin the door ciose to the boit and large enough to permit a man’s hand and wrist to pass through and slide the bolt back. The burglary caused the greatest con- sternation at the Central police station, as it was committed right under the noses of the police, and showed an utter con- tempt for the force on the. part of the burglars. It is this fact that spurring on the detectives 1n their efforts to dis- cover the identity of the burglars, The burglars are believed to be the same men who broks into Kibbler's drugstore, Turk and Larkin streets, about a week ago. . ngy climbed the fence in the rear on Tark street and obiained an entrance by cutting a hole_in the rear door, justas they did at_ Peard’s saloon. They took about $10 and a pair of opera-glasses from a desk which they forced open with a “jimmy.”’ The police think that the burglars be- lone to the neighborhood, and they are working on that theory.

BATTLESHIP TARS HAVE A GAY TIME of Invitation Ball the Oregon’s Blue- Jackets. The First Event of the Sort Was Decidedly a Conspicuous Success. Among the Toasts at the Banquat Was One to Gallant “Jack, the Man Behind the Gun.” There was a great event at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening. The boys in blue of the | United States battleship Oregon gave their first invitation ball, and it was a 'corker.” The attendance ~embraced many of the officers, prominent among whom was Commander Howison and Lieutenant-Commander F. J. Drake, the executive officers of the ship, who did much to promote the event and to help the blue jackets to have a good time. The officers and ladies were spectators, They gazed upon a scene of jollity. The red-coated band from Mare Island, gorgeous in all their full-dress trnpvinf, loomed up on the stage. All around the musicians were potted plants. Over their heads was the name of the Oregon in large gilt letters. Draperies of bunting bright- ened up the ealleriesand hungin festoons. The bluejuckets were in unitorm. They had many invited guests. Shortly after 9 o’clock the grand march came off, which was led by R. H. Small, chief machinist of the battleship, with Miss Horn, The second couple were Chief Quartermaster G. Jobnson and Miss Staid. The dancing programme wae dedicated throughout, the grand march and lancers being dedicated to the commander, the waltz to the executive officers, and so on, the admiral, the guests, the United States ships Philadelphia, Monterey, Monad- nock and Bennington, the Union Iron Works, ‘our best girl,’”’ the engineer force. the officers, the guards, the President, the chief boatswain’s mate, the State of Oregon, the Mare Island Navy Yard, Professor Carlo Contrado and the Independence Band, the finance commit~ tee—all being remembered. Nor was “Jack, the man behind the gun,” forgot- ten, the schottische being dedicated to him. Plates for 600 were laid in the banquet- hall and speeches were in order there. Everything was shipshape. Press gear was piped to give the cook ten minutes to prepare the tables. The red pennant was run up. C.
