Drops to Third Place in the Matter of Oriental Imports. Tacoma Has Reached Second Place and Is Steadily Gain- ing Ground. Report of Produce Exchange Shows a Healthier and Stronger Market Than Last Year. According to the latest reports received here ‘rom the New York Chamber of Com- merce, the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco and the business men of the City must take cognizance of the fact that in the oriental import trade San Francisco is not gaining any ground. As a matter of fact, she has been losing ground year by vear, until, from the second place in the matter of imports into the Unitea States, she has dropped in 1896 to third place. | Tacoma, Wash., which last year was in third place, has superseded San Francisco in second place, and from the rate of in- | crease in the oriental import trade with | the United States Tacoma bids fair to take | first place in the United States as she has on the Pacific Coast. All this trade orig- inally belonged to and was held by San Francisco. Tacoma ranks second only to New York | City in the number of packages handled | and tbe value of merchandise imported | year ago New York City ranked first, San | Francisco second and Tacoma third. To- | day San Francisco, the principal city and | the great commercial metropolis of the | Pacific Coast, is in second place, and | Tacoma, the new metropolis of the | Northwest, a city of 30,000 population, }is the second ~ ecity in tfie United States in point of oriental imports. | She not only has second place, but she | has nearly three times as many packages to her import credit as her rival, San | Francisco. The vaiue of imports of the several lead- | ing ports is as follows: New York, 1,279,709 packages, value $27,- 932,210. o'x-x.éum's. 621,763 packages, value $4,758. n Francisco, 244,024 packages, value &4, 533,920. g baltimore, 245,668 packages, value $2,008.- 921. Portiand, 146,154 packages, value $1,322,- 715. .)Gl‘lhilfldelphin,40,4fil packages,value $2,221,- | Boston, 94,927 packeges, value $1,729,340. Doubtless the Pacific Mail Steamship Company is fuily aware of these facts. An indication of this is seen in the fact that ! at the last meeting of tue directors of this company, heid in New York City a few weeks ago, a resolution was adonted di- recting the construction ot a new Pacific Mail steamer to cost not less than $800,000. The details of the construction of this steamship have not vet been prepared. At least, Vice-President Schwerin of San Francisco says he knows nothing of when or where the steamship is_to be con- stracted. At the same time the news comes that tne Northern Pacific Steamship Company intends to add to its fleet two magnificent new steamships with large passenger ac- commodations to its Tacoma-Yokohama- Hongkong route. These ships bave been purchased in England and will shortly leave Liverpool for Tacoma, necessarily, vending the construction of the Nicaragua canal, by way of Cape Horn. The fact that the Pac:fic Mail Company hasordered a new steamship to be built for the San Francisco oriental trade indi- cates that there is 1o be a more lively competition than ever before for the | coutrol of the bulk of the oriental trade. The Tacoma and Victoria steamers. will make an effort to secure the reputation of | being tiie shortest route and affording the | more rapid transit. ‘ The report of the San Francisco Produce ‘Exc!!nnge, dated December 1, shows a very healthy improvement in the demand | for California cereals as compared with last year. | . The number of barrels of flour remain- ing in the State on December 1 was | 111,078; wheat, 7,495,380 centals; barley, ;3,008,980 centals; oats, 189,360 centals; ‘bean& 700,963 sacks; rye, 81,340 centals. In 1895 the amount of flour and cereals remaining in the State on the same date was: Flour, 82,107 barrels; wheat, 10,941,- 760 centals; bariey, 4,072,560 centals; oats, 0 centals; beans, 557,948 sacks; rye, 500 centals, The Nicaraguan bark Sharpshooter, Cap- tain Kustel, which arrived in yesterday, reports raordinarily rough™ weathe days from Newcastle, Aus- tralia, with 741 tons of coal consigned to J. J. Moore & Co. The Sharpshooter en- countered very severe gules. She was boarded by a sea, which swept her decks clean, smashing tbe gig and carrying | away tle figure-head. For thirty-seven | days, from October 17 to November 23, she made only an average of seventy-two The wind was then light to moderate. Captain Kustel reports no trade wind whatever. Dr, Stinson of Port Townsend has ar- rived and went on duty yesterday to take the place of Dr. Blue, quarangine officer, who has a sixty days’ leave of absence and contemplates a trip to Japan. The bark Harvester, one of the last of the salmon fleet, arrived in yesterday with a cargo of canned salmon and live China- men. | The bark J. M. Weatherwax, bound for the Fiji lslands with lumber, and the barkentine Catherine Sudden, with lum- ber for Central America, both of Which put in here for safety about two weeks | ago, when there wasa gale outside that | neatly blew out the eves of the rigging, sailed yesterday for their ports of destina- tion. The Weatherwax sprang a leak, but | went to sea yesterday abundantly calked and repaired. : Captain Hunter of the steamship Aus- tralia, which struck a rock in the straits | of Juan de Fuca, and ran ashore to save herself some weeks ago, bas been assigned to the steamship City of Topeka, running beiween Puget Sound ports and Alask by the Goodall-Perkins Company. T means that Captain Hunter has peen rein- | stated by the company, and that he may be reassigned to the Austraiia when she is again ready for duty, which will be in less than two months. Captain Wallace of the City of Topeka is quite ill. SUNDAY CYCLE RAOCES. A Large Crowd Witnesses Good Sport at the Velodrome Track. Club Runa. It Sunday cycle track racing is ever jnaugurated on this coast it will probably be well patrenized. Just now the League of American Wheelmen’s rules forbid it, though it seems likely that at the next annual meeting in February it may be sanctioned. Yesterday some matinee races were held at the Velodrome track, to which the admission was free, as there is no rule against holding Sunday races where no prizes are given and no entrance charged. The crowd present was immense, and the sport first cias«. A five-mile inter-club race between the Olympic Ciub wheelmen and the Reliance | | Club wheelmen was won by the Olympics. The teams were Kroetz, Werner, Fuller, Loos and Cook for the Olympics, and Bain, Neylan, Mott, Elford and Gooch, Reliance. Time, 13:33. J. E. Wing, Olympic, rode a half-mile exhibition, paced by the Dixon-Loos tan- dem team, in fifty-nine seconds. ecker, professional five-mile national champion, rode an unpaced third of a mile in 40 3-5 seconds, coast record. A match race at one-half mile, between Messrs. Haley, Revalk and Griffi.h, cap- tains of the Olympic, Acme and Reliance clubs respectively, was won by Haley, Re- valk second. Griffitbs lost his pedal, or he might have altered this result. Crowds of racers were training at the track all day preparing for the meet next Saturday, and some prsl%vzooc sprints were witnessed between ells, Foster, Becker, McFarland, Stevens and other crack professionals, The management of the track threatens | to refuse **Bob’’ Terrill’s entries hereafter, because he failed to ride last Saturday in the shield race, as he was advertised to dn, As Terrill is very popular with the public, and is a big drawing card, ii would hardly seem a wise move. Walter Foster is riding unattached now, having left the Olympics for some reason or other. He appeared without their em- blem Baturday in a new racing suit and entered as urattached. : The next meeting of the associated clubs will be held at the Acme Club, Oakland, in February. The Bay City Wheelmen’s pool tourna- ment has narrowed down to six players— Pike, Leavitt, Hall, Kellom, Menne and Spalding. The deciding games will be played this week. Many of the racers now quartered at the Velodrome track will go to Fresno for the big meet to be held there on the 19th in- stant., The Reliance Club Wheelmen and Olvmpic Club Wheelmen held an enjoy- able joint run to the park yesterday. The San Krancisco Road Club went to Menlo Park, and the Imperial and Californis clubs to the beach. Entries for next Saturday’s Velodrome meet _close to-night. On Christmas day Otto Ziegler, Arthur Gardiner, McFarland and Stevens will compete in the profes- sional events. FELL FROM THE TRACK An Acrobat Injured by a Fall- ing Sphere Containing His Wite. It Droppei From I's Spiral Pathway And Startled an Orpheum Audience. The performance at the Orphenm yes- terday afternoon cu'minated in a stage ‘accident that was not on the programme The She Was Encased In When It Fell Off the Spiral Track and Nearly Broke Her Husband’s Neck. and that came near resulting very seri- ously to two acrobats. A woman inclosed 1n a hollow metal sphere that rolls mysteriously up and then down a tortuous spiral pathway lost con- trol, through some fault in its mechan- ism, of the ball in which she was doubled up and securely incased, and the weighty mass, human oceupant and all, jumped the track on the down trip, feil off ata tangent and struck the woman’s husbhand violently on the right shoulder just as he tunged forward instinctively to save his wife. He tripped at a critical moment and was injured himself, while breaking thegorce of the fall of his helplessly imprisoned companion. The man, a sturdy Frenchman of pow- erful athletic build, was seen to rise hast- ily from the stage, grasp his right shoul- der and retreat into th- wings. The cur- tain was immediately rung down, only a second or so, however, sooner than it ordi- narily would have been. An examination into the locked sphere disclosed the fact that the woman’s in- juries consisted simply of a hard knock on one side of her head. Her first anx- iety on being liberated from her cramped little prison was for the condition of her husband. On the bills the woman is Ellen Vetter, the “‘mysterious spiral globe artiste.”” Her *‘act’’ consists in rolling over and over whiie in a cramped position, and propel- ling the sphere along its peculiar course, the charm of the performance lying chiefly in the wonderment occasioned among the spectatorsas to the nature of the locomotive power of the apparently self-controlled, airy, baloon-looking globe, the small size of which is not suggestive of the possibility of human occupancy. The husbaud is billed as “Lang-low, the shooting-star.” He is a crack rifle shot and tight-wire performer, cracking glass balls and cutting out bullseyes, while vibrating on one foot or hanging by botn toes from a small wire stretched high above the heads of the spectators. His injury, while not serious, is upon a shoulder that was dislocated in Berlin iast May by a similar accident, and is sufficient probably to prevent his perform- ing during the present week, which was to have been the last of his engazement in this City. The symmetry of the meiallic ball and the interior catches connecting the two hollow hemispheres were dam- aged sufficiently to make it impossible for the little woman to take pari in the even- ing performance even had she not feit dazed from the blow she received after falling ubout eight feet. —— e — Died From Heart Disease. Robert Nagler, an aged truss manufacturer who occupied rooms at 410 Kearny street, dropped dead, presumably from heart disease, in & saloou, 719 Market street. The body was removed to the Morgue. The old man bad been suffering from a compiication of diseases for se&erfl years and his death was not unex- pecte —— o HUNGARIAN, old Dutch, English, antique, green, Japanese and raw oaks, chestnuts, curly redwood, Spanish cedars, plain mat gilts, green and goids and white and golds are still 1he correct things in picture frames.

Frank Paolini and Ciro Cuneo Win P:pular Athletic Victories. Expert Swordsmen Give Expositions of the Science of Thrust and Parry. The brawn and atbletic skill of the ftal- ian colony had an inning last night and acquitted itself bravely. The occasion was a joint exhibition of the Massaniello Frank Paclini, 2 Muscular Member of the Masaniello Who Claims to Be Champion Wrestler of the Pacific Coast. Parise and the Gladiators’ clubs at Wash- ington-square Hall. A dance followed the athletic exhibition and the affair was quite a society event in the colony. The programme opened with a three- round boxing match between Jimmy Sim- mons, a diminutive colored boy, and a midget named Johnny Dugan. The little fellows, neither of whom could turn the scale at 70 pounds, pummeled each other with agility and industry, but no damage was done, and the referee declared it a draw. C. D. Paoliof the Gladiatorsand H. Bimi of the Massaniello followed in a spirited three-round contest. In the second round Paoli received a jolt on the jaw which per- ceptibly lessened his vim, and the con. test was awarded to Simi. V. W. Monti, president and instructor of the Massaniello, and D. Martini, whooc- cupied a like position in the Gladiators, gave an interesiinz exhibition of broad- sword play. B. Dominiei and Martini also gave an exposition of tnis art. The event around which the chief in- terest of the evening centered was the wrestling match between Frank Puolini, who styles himseif champion of the Pacific Coast and is the pride of the Massanietlo, and L. Pellegrini. The latter, although handicapped greatly in the matter of weight, took the aggressive and appar- ently wore himself out, when Paolini turned him over for the first fall. The second fall was also secured by Paolini. Young "Ciro Cuneo, the Clever Feather - Weight Who Was Awarded a Decision Over Joe Duewell in a Three - Round Contest. No time was taken. A match for $100 was immediately arranged for by the wrestlers. V. W. Monte and E. C. Baccala gave a scientific expo-ition of the proper hand- ling of dueling rapiers which was bighiy appreciated. e final event was a three-round con- test between young Ciro Cuneo, adver- tised as feather-weight champion of the coast, and Joe Denwell. The boxers seemed wiiling to sacrifice themse!ves for the sake of a good mill, and the contest was give and take throughout. Cuneo was awarded the decision. L. Ratto, V. W. Monti and C. E. Bac- cala acted as fencing referees. L. Ratto and A. Gallo )ndfed the boxing and wrestling. Much of the success of the oc- casion was due to the energetic manage- ment of Mr. Monti, who had the entire affair in charge. The Symphony Concert Announced, In nearly all the churches yesterday an- nouncement was made of the coming grand concert to take place at the Association audi- torium, Mason and Ellis streets, to-morrow evening. A most attractive programme has lbn-]-fl nrnn;eglol 'ould:n‘m innmm:ont L se- ections, readings and impersonation: Louts McPike and violin solos by M, x‘;{- l Tommy Purcell, the child violinist. It will doubtiess be one of the most enjoyable con- certs of the season. SUPERVISORS STUDY. Those Who Will Serve for the Next Two Years Seek Information From Mayor Sutro. By invitation of Mayor Sutro, Mayor- elect Phelan and nine of the Supervisors- elect visited Sutro Heights and took lunch with him yesterday afternoon. “I invited the entire board, as weil as Mr. Phelan,”” said Mayor Sutro, as I wished to become acquainted with the zentlemen. All the Supervisors but thrae | were present, but these were unavoidably absent. I was very favorably impressed with the gentlemen and was pleased to note their inqumsitiveness in regard to City matters and what is most needed. They asked many- questions in regard to various branches of the government of the City and were particularly anxious to be mnrormed on the subject of streets and anxious pavements. They seemed to ob- tain all the information they could as to the best pavements and how tLey ought to be laid. “Huving had considerable experience in such matters, and having inspected the various kinds of payement of the princi- finl cities of the Oid World, London, Paris, erlin and other places where I made that the subject of my reseuarches and observa- tion, I tola them that what the City needs for pavements that will last is in the first place a solid foundation, and that can be secured only by the use of ocean sand, which is the only kind that ought to be used, as it is free from tbe matter which in hill sand disintegrates and causes foun- dations to give. “Then on that there should be a good bed of broken rock laid with cement to form a first-class concrete, and the rock that should be used must be of that kind that will ‘take’ the cement and form a mass as solid as rock and on that bitumen cau be Jaid. T aiso told them about the laying of basait blocks on the section where there is heavy teaming and then gave them my knowledge of the proper kina of rock to use for macadamizing. “They were also desirous of knowing | about the Rattler test and there was some talk about our sewer system. They ex- ressed themselves as grateful for thein- ormation imparted and 1 was pleased to note their interest to become advised as to their duty to the citizens.” THE HANDBALL COURTS. Amateur Champion Donnelly and J. C. Nealon Defeat J. Harlow and Ed Maloney. There was a large attendance at the San Francisco handball court yesterday to witness several exciting games. The prin- cipal attraction was a game in which P. T. Donneliy, the amateur champion, and J. C. Neaion played acainst J. Harlow and Ed Maloney. The play was spirited throughout, both teams displaying rare judgment. Donnely and Nealon won the final game by five aces, A return match will be played next Sunday. Another interesting zame was played between the old time rivals Phil Ryan and D. Rogers and M. McNeil and Georce Me- Donald. The two former had been prac- ticing diligently during the week and the result was they won the final with ease. The Union Court is still closed, but it is expected to be in full swing again by next Sunday. Following were the games played in the San Francisco court. C. Hogan and R. Hauseman defeated C. Matis and F. Matis, 21—17, 9—21, 21—14. J. Collins and R. Hauseman defeated M. Me- Laughlin and J. White, 21—10,16—21, 21—14. P. Ryan and D. Roeers defeated M. McNeil and G.
