Coulter, the noted profes- sional, did not ride, owing to illness. Ziegler was not up to form, but Allan Jones was in the pink of condition, and Clarence Davis also made a fine showing. Russ outclassed his fields in the am- ateur events and won as be pleased. The day's racing opened With a two- thirds mile open, professional, run in two heats and & final.

A high mass for the repose of the souls of the unfortunates who lost their lives during the cbarity fair last week in Paris was celebrated yesterday at the Church of Notre Dame des Victoires, Yere Loude celebrant, Pere Rouselon essisting. “The place of worship was crowded with sympathizers, who listened to the short and eloquent sermon of Abbe Gente. “France weeps to-day and weep ye and pray for those precious souls taken from among their families, friends and de- pendents by cruel fate,”” spoke the priest, WAt first glance,” Le added, “it would appear that happiness was not the reward of virtue, when we consider how more than 100 of our compatriots were cutout from life while they wers in the midst of dispensing charity. This, no_doubt, will be the position taken by the disbelievers, and even the faith of some of the disbe- lievers will be somewhat shaken by this dreadful castastrophy. “This should not be the case, however, for if God permits the nf*h!eoun to suffer it isonly torecall them to him instructea and purified by thewr tribulations, Tha‘ courage of the soldier is demonstrated in battle, so is the claim of heavenly reward to be adjudged by the fortitude with which We bear cur trials. These trials but go to show how strong is the foundation upon which is built the edifice of our religion. *‘We have before us a great lesson,”” said the preacher, “which should make us hes- itate as we go through life and think of the path wherein we step. Then were dlstinction, nobility of character, honesty, virtue, talent and strength cut out of ex- istence by cruel fate in a few moments. We should ponder, therefore, before the destrover of all tnese attributes and ask ourselves whe’her we are prepared to meet our Maker.” The Assoctated Cyclists Gave Another Successful Meeting at the Velodrome Yesterdays YOUNG CATHOLICS AGAINST WHISKY League of the Cross Cadets Deliver Many Orations.

The die was finally cast for Deasy because of his more feeling and natural delivery. The following were the contestants: J. Deasy, St. Mary’s; John F.Owens, Holy Cross; Joseph P.

To avoid all implication of sumptuous accommcdations or the tyranny of social formaiism and to realize this original con- ception, the management has decided to make the Tavern of Castle Crag distinct- ively a family resort and especially at- tractive to those to whom health, recrea- tion and sympathy with nature are paramount considerations. To this end rooms on the first and second floors of this splendid tavern, with board, will be furnished at a monthly rate of $65 a pe: son; and rooms on ihe third floor, witn board, at a monthly rate of $50 a person. The accommodations of the Tavern ars first class in every particular. Its parlors and halls are elegant and spacious. Iis verandas are cool and inviting, placing the guest always in the vresence of the most attractive mountain scenery to be enjoyed from the baicony of any tavern in the world. ‘The opportunity for outdoor sports em- braces hunting, fishing, riding, bicyeling, walking on mountzin paths and driving on picturesque roads. The Tavern is lo- cated immediately on the main trunk line of the California and Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours’ ride from Stockton, ten hours irom Sacramento, thirty hours from Los Aungeles and twenty-three hours from Portland. The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached from San Francisco and Sacra- mento without Joss of time.

The general theme of every essay or oration was “The Cost of Intemperance.” The epeakers all considered the subject with reference to the effect of drunken- ness on the individual as well as on society. They showed how the liquor habit un- dermines health, morals and mind, and gave vivid pictures of the desolation of homes and the desecration of all that people ought to regard as high and holy. Mr. McCarran showed that drunken- ness is not limited to any race, creed or condition of men; that it eats away on all classes that are its victims remorse- lessly. Jobn F. Owens went deeply into the historic phases of the problem and held that drink primarily caused the fall of Babylon. E.J. Deasy, the winner of the silver | medal, beld than when drunkenness en- | ters society discord holas sway; that liquor leads to crimes of every nature. He said that the American peopie have spent 5.000,000,000 for liquor in ninety years, runkenness blights nope, deadens am- bition and paralyzes industry,” he said, “finally filling prisons, nonrhansel and asylums with its victims.” Francis Colligan made a stirriug ad- dress, treating of temperance as it affects the uhvamal moral and spiritual side of man’s nature. He quoted from Shakes- peare to show the picture of a perfect man and drew a strong portrayal of the man ruined by liquor. Like the others, be was loudly cheered. Joseph R. Carew was the last speaker. His paper showed careful preparation and abounded in useful statistics as to the ex- tent of the drink habit. He said it would require ten men with scoop shovels to throw away silver dollars as fast as the American people spend them for drink, and that the doliars spent each year, laid in a row, would extend 1578 miles. o The Judges of the contest were: Miss .

Yachts, Launches and Tugs Were All Pressed Into Active Servica. The Tug Vigilant Turned the Tables on the Fast Stsamer Reliance Yesterday. *‘All the world and his wife’’ deserted the water front yesterday. It was one succession of picnics and excursions from early morning, and almost every kind of craft was pressed into service. The ferry- boats were crowded, nearly every yacht in the bay was out with a party, gasoline launches were flitting hither and thither, and even the tugboats were pressed into service. The members of the Germania Club went to Guerneville, the Journeymen Tailors went to Schuetzen Park, over 2000 people went to EI Campo, Alcalde Parlor, N. 8. G. W., went to Sunset Park, the 8an Francisco Athletic Club went to Glen- wood, the United South German Society of San Francisco went to Shell Mound, and the members of the Seal Rock Social Cinb went to Niles Canyon, while the Fis ermen’s Benevolent A-sociation went out 200 strong to Harbor View. Almost every fishing boat in the bay was tied up and the fishermen made & very fine appearance in their picturesque uniforms. The members of the United South Ger- man Societies were the last to leave the water front. Their outing was more in the nature of a moonlight affair and it was 11 o’clock last night before 1t broke other excursionists and pic- home before dark. Four vessels of tho sugar fieet are now racing to Honolulu and the captain of the last one in has to put up for a dinner for the other three at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

The Aloha in tow of the Reliance was first_away, and before the Vigilant had the Wilder well under way had s-cured a lead of nearly three miles. The big schooner was the heavier tow of the two, and that was one thing in favor of the crack Vigilant. The latter during the run to the whistiing buoy made up the three miles leeway and had cast the Wilder off ana was on her way back to port before the Reliance was ready to let go her tow. Chief Engineer John English is more than pleased with the performance of the Vigilant, as he is only now getting over the chagrin he felt at the beating the Re- llance gave his vessel seven months ago. Captain Brokaw of the Reliance did not take his defeai very much to heart, as he was trving to make easy weather of it for Miss Daisy Dowd, who was on her way back to her school on the Farallon Islands.

Materia'ism Is He'd Inad:quate to Solve the Problem of Destiny. Mrs. Annie Besant lectured to a thougbtiul audience at Metropolitan Tem- ple last night, subject: *The Evolution ot the Soul.” Mrs, Besant is a pieasing talker, who never hesitates for a word. Her voice is deep and rich and her address abounded in references to the facts of modarn science. She outlined the hopelessness of ma- terialism as a sane solution of the prob- lems of destiny, struck several hard biows at the doctrine of heredity and concluded that the only rational solution of the prob- lems of life is that put forth by theosophy. “According to one view of life,’’ she said, “all human destiny is settled in the span between the cradle and the grave, but theosophy teaches that souls have e periences through hundreds, yes, thou- sands -of lives, and that the saint and criminal alike are a part of God.”” Her analysis of the struggle that goes on in the soul of one struggling to master passion and weakness and heed the lassons of its past experiences, was masterful, “The mind adds the memory of pleas- ureand of pain to its experiences,” she said, ‘‘and the soul sits as a monitor to warn the individual what to do.” Mrs. Besant’s great lecture on the sub- ject will be delivered at Metropolitan Temple on Thursday night. Manager Al Marks says the sale of tickets is already very large. NEW TO-DAY.
