The Reccrds of Teams Taking Part in the Tournament—Indian Relics Presented. Yesterday was an off day in Golden Gate Park in consequence of the threaten- ing clouds. Still there were a8 number who were venturesome enough to prom- enade tne walks and go to the conserva- tory and the museum. A few juveniles went to the play grounds, and not a few took possession of the recreation grounds to play baseball as it is played on a wet diamond. During the week Superintendent of the Mint John Daggett presented to the museum a very rare and valuable collec- tion of Indian relics collected by him in the early days of Califorma in Siskivou and Bhasta counties, when the Digger: were more numerons than they are now. The collection, which is made up of thirty- | seven lots, includes all that was usea by | the Aborigines before thev took to Ameri can customs, There are baskets, hat | woven of grass, mortars, implements used | in cooking, fishing nnd hunting, of that | class which has bren discarded by the ! Diggers with the advance of civilization. | ‘I'rere is also a colleetion of acorns, meal | and other articles which were used as food, and of bows and arrows. Mrs. G. W. Ethell of this City has do- nated a small piece of a door from the old heathen castle in the Society Islands. Models of the bridge that is now in course of construction have been placed in the Commissioner’s office in the lodge. They give a very good idea of what the structure will look like when completed. The models are in plaster of paris and are ornamented witb small figures modeled by Dou lass Tilden. On the northern slope south of the main | drive, between *“Chicken Point”” and “Cyclers’ Rest,”” a great number of ferns | have been planted, and when these flonr- | ish they will present a very pretty effect. | There was not a very large crowd of peo- | ple at the beach, but there were a goodly number in Sutro Baths to watch the tug- of-war. The first tug of the afternoon was be- tween Sweden and Norway. The men of the two teams were fresh and appeared to be willing to work for the supremacy. On the firs; tug Norway gained one cleat but | in a minute lost it. Afterward the Nor-! wegians gained an advantage over the l boys from Sweden and pulled them over the line without stopping, winning the | tug in' 10 minutes and 12 seconds. This gives Norway the victory over Portugal | and Sweden. | The next to come to the front were the men from Portugal, who were matched to me:t those from Germany, who took their places on the platform to the enlivening strain of “Die Wacht am Rhein.” The Germans got the advantage on the start, and after two minutes gained two | cleats after considerable pulling back and | forih. Urged by their captain and coacher and cries of the audience of ‘‘Pull, Ger- and strong, gained one cleat, lost it and then, with a mighty effort, got away with the tug in 5:15 minutes. Germany has now defeated Slavonia, Sweden and Por- tugal, and has been defeated by America, Ireiand and Canada. The next strain on the rope was between Denmark and Canada. In ten seconds Canada gained one cleat, 1n one minute bud two cieats and in 2:45 minutes they pulled their opponents over the line with- ount very much trouble. Canada’s record is: Won from Portugal, Slavonia, Italy, Germany and Denmark without a de.eat. Italso has a tie with Denmark, and this | puil settled that. The next tng was between the giants, the United S.ates and Ireland, and it was the first time that these teams had faced each other. There was an unusual inter- est manifested by the spectators in this event, as each had about an equal number i of friends. Ireland got half a cleat on the start, but at the end of fiity seconds lost it. For half a minute the indicator wavered under the center point, but the boys from the United States held their ground, and after a few seconds’ rest gave oue strong pull and hauled their oppon- ents over a cleat at a time and never gave them a chance to recover themselve«. The United States won 1n two minutes amidst the wildest cheering that has ever been | neard in the vast building. Tbe great strain to accomplish the feat was notice- able in the anchorman, who was unable to rise unassisted. He wasso weak that he | had to be assisted by two men to his dressing-room, The United States team has won from Italy, Norway, Germany, Denmark, Slavoniaand Ireland and has not suffered deieat. The last tug of the day was between Italy and Slavonia. There was a great deal of straining before the indicator commenced to move, but when it did it went over with a rush and Italy won in 2 minutes and 5 seconds. This team now stands: Won from Slavonia, defeated by Sweden, Canada, America and Denmark and a tie with Norway. The record s:ands as follows: TEAM. Voa. | Lost. America. . Canada. Ireland Leumark Norway acoRMREROG FRER RSO The tournament will continue Sunday next and the following Sunday. There was an unusually large mumber of people at the Haight-street grounds to witness the balloon ascent by Emil Marke- berg, the ride down the chutes by Brown, the one-legged cyclist, the globe act down the chutes by Kroio and the other attrac- tions. SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. Our Constitution Is the Test to Which All Laws Must Be Brought. “The constitution of the United States is the supreme law, and every law of Con- gress, every State constitution and every Stale law must be brought to the test of this supreme law, and is valid or invalid as it stands, or fails to stand, that test,” writes ex-President Harrison in an article on “The Judicial Department of the Government” in the Ladies’ Home Journal. “The interpretation and en- forcement of the National constitu- tion and laws could not, for several reasons, be left to the State courts. Unifority of interpretation would be im- possible if the Supreme Appellate courts of the Btates could, each for itself and finally for the people of the particular Sta‘e, construe the National constitution and laws. And especially questions af- fecting the conflicting powers of a State and of the National Government could not be left to the decision of the State court. If the powers given to the National Gov- | 8t atation indicate maximum temperatura for the { San Francisco 10.14 inches, Iast season 4.10 inche: | Oregon coast. | central off the Oregon coOast. ernment were to be maintained and uni- formly and beneficially exercised it was essential that the final judicial determina- tion of the scope and limits of these powers should be confided to National courts. It would not have done in 1861 to submit the question of the rizht of a State to secede from the Union to the Supreme Court of South Carolina.” * O Clear ® Partly Cloudy ® Cloudy ® Rain® Snow Explanation. ‘The arrow flies with the wind.
