Folsom-Street Wharf Will Be Ready for the Oceanio Steamship Com- pany To-Morrow. The race between the vachts Aolus and Fawn for the perpetual challeng: cup was sailed yesterday over the usual inshore course. From the start the Corinthian Yaeht Club’s representative outsailed her opponent, and at the Blossom Rock buoy had at least a five-minute gain on the Fawn which was upholding the honorof the Encinal Yacht Club. All the spectators expected to see the Fawn make up some of ber lost time on the run up the bay, but they were disap- pointed. The olus spread all her can- vas to the freshening breeze, but the Fawn did not even hoist her topsail. Conse- quently when the Eolus was passing Mis- sion-street wharf the Fawn was a good six minutes astern. Passing the ferries the latter yacht had a narrow escape. The ferry-steamer Newark was making her slip, and the Fawn had the rigbt of way. The captain of the steamer thought he had time to pass in ‘ront of the yacht, and came very near to finding out bis mistake 100 Iate. Findinz that there wasa chance of col- lision the passeigers on the steamer be- came greatiy excited. The Newark was at once stopped, and a few minutes later the order “Full speed astern’” was rung up. Even the steamer did not gather stern way quickly enougn, and the jingle bells were called into use. The Newark was still backing when the Fawn flew past and the distance between was 30 small thata biscuit could have been thrown from the deck of the Newark into the cockpit of the Fawn. Passing Mission Rock the contending yachts were joined by a big fleet of boats from the Corinthian and Encinal yacht club fleet<. They a1l joined in the proces- sion, but at the same time were very care- ful not to et in the wdy of the contend- ing yachts. During the run to the Ala- meda moi the Fawn somewlat betiered Ler position, but not_-ufliciently to over- come the lead of the Ao us, and the latter boat won by a fair margin after conceding the Fawn her time allowance of three minutes. The race was sailed throughout in a sporismaniike manner and tue Encinals do nou feel sore over their defeat. Still tuere are many who say that had there been a stronger broeze the Fawn would have won. The challenge cup will now go to Sausalito, where it will be held uniil next year, when ibe challenges are sure to be pleniy. As the Corinthians will now have the right of nawming tbe course the chunces are that next season will see toe race sailed over the midchannel course. The half-raters for the Pacific Yacht Club will probably be seen on the bay to- dav. In spite of their somewhat peculiar build they will prove a va.uable addition to tie clul’s fleet. Captain Haunson has resumed command of the steam schooner Point Arena, vice Captain John-on, resigned.

Fortune de Conte was character, notwitbstanding he died in obscurity in our far Western City. His death is illustrative of the fortunes of the family to which he belonged, and bears testimony to the noble lortiiude and pride engendered in the Bourbon race. Born some fiity years ago on a palatial | yacht owned by his father, descending from & royal and talentea family, his life vromised & position of wealith and power, His grandfather was an emirent en- gineer who superintended the construce tion of the tunnel under the Thames River.

After the Franco-Prusiian War, which practically destroyed the prospects of his iamily, he became a devoted student in | art and followed "his profession with an earnes:ness of purpose that while it pro- duced results and gained him many hon- | urable and eminent positions did not sui- fice to keep the woif from the door nor avert the fate that awaited him. Personally he was a gentleman of the old school, generous, considerate, polite, and earned the respect of all who came in contact with him; but his very profession unfitted bim for business. Aiter leaving France he spent several | vesrs in Brazil, then enlisted in the United States navy as a draughtsman au iater was successful as an artist in New York and Chicago.

" His work as an artist can best be {judged by the gems left in a local art- room here. He excelled in coloring and his sketches, especially in water-colors, bear the marks of a master hand. The general feeling among the artists is one of deep regret that they did not know earlier of Fortune de Conte’s condition so | that at least they might have been enabled | to relieve his distress during the last days of lus iliness, MRS. PERKINS ANGRY. She Objects to Being Mentioned as a Co-Respondent by Mrs. Stanley. Mrs. Mary B. Perkins has filed objec- tions to an accusation made by Mrs, Gyn- thia Stanley in her suit for a divorce from Ira N. Stanley. in which the plaintiff names Mrs. Perkins as co-reapondent. “Nothing could have been more unjust than such a statement,” said Mrs. Per- kins. “I was the victim of this man’s wronz-doing. 1 was legslly married to him in the St. James Hotel in San Jose. 1 dia not know that he was married be- fore, as he had been separated from his | wife for a long time and deceived me in | regard to his position in life. I wasac- quainted with him for a vear before the marriage, and none of his friends who knew me had ever heard of his former marriage. Long before 1 heard that he wasa married man I was forced to leave him, { and when I heard of the fact thai he was | guilty of bigamy, for which crime he is | now ‘under arrest, I dropped his name and resumed the honored name I bore while I was a widow before my marriage to him. I say that this siur that Mrs. Stanley secks to cast on me is uncailed for and unjust, and I want my friends and | the public to understand that my share in | this uniortunate affair has nething in it that is to my discredit. I expect to see my lawyer and 1 will try to make Mrs. Stanley suffer for this uncalled-for insult.” Stanley’s trial on ihe charge of bigamy will begin in San Jose to-morrow. ———— CAMINETTI DENIES THE OHARGE. He Has Filed Serious Charges Against Drug Inspector Kerns. B.

Gavin deposes that Dr. Kerns used to analyze Repsold’s domestic brandy, puano and beet sugar in the Government laburs- tory and in the time for wnich nis ser- vices were beinz paid by the Government. | Gavin says that on one occasion, after he had dore considerable of this private work | for Kerns, the latter made him a present of $10, with the remark that if he got more work he would give him some more money.

ANOTHERLINE ABSORBED Realty Syndicate Controls all | but Two Electric Rail- | ways. the Eleotricity for the Lines Across the Bay, OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISco CALL, 908 Broadway, June 26. | The Realty Syndicate has purchased the Alameda and Oaxlana Electric Railroad, | the California Railway (Mills College | lina) and the California Improvement | Company. The latter owns the rock | quarry, Leona Heights and 400 acres o | land—at least they have acquired a con- | trolling portion of the stock of each. The R alty Syndicate was supposed to | have been organized for the purchase and sale of real estate, but it secured control of the Oakland Consolidated (Grove stieet) Electric line, with its two lines to West Oakland; then the Twelfth street line and the High'and Park road. Itholds a big interest in the Easi Oakiand Street Railway, and now comes this new move. Senator Eli Denison, W. M. Runk, the soperintendent, W. H. Chicker:ing, G. H. Mastick and Mrs. Frederick Meyers are tue owners of stocks that have been or will be transferred to the main concern, thus giving it a three-fiiths interest. Charles R. Bishop and other Honoluiu parties hold the other two-fifths interest. In addition to the street rauways thus acquired the syndicate secures Session’s basin, an exiremely valuable piece of | water-front property. It has been built | out to deep water, and is not mixed up in the water-front cases in court. The syndicate had an 1ncome from their nes of about §15000 and exjenditures amounting to $10,000 or $11,000 per month prior to this purchase. This will add about $11,000 more to their income.
