Mayor Thomas' remarks w.re in the nature of a welcome, . He said he was not down for a speech, and introduced Alfred Wilkie, who thrilled the house with ~“The Sword of Bunker Hill.”” The violent ap- plause that followed was not appeased till Mr. Wilkie returned and g:ve an encore, Ex-Mayor George C.

Berkeley Fire-Fighters Indulge in Hol- iday Contests. BERKELEY, Can, July 5.—The Na- tional hoiiday was celebrated locally by the firemen of Peraita and Nortu Berke- ley, who held athletic contests, in which there was great interest, and large crowds gathered to watch the events. Lately the firemen have been securing athletic ap- paratus and indulging in gymnasium work in the firehouses and the contests to-day were the outgrowth of their new activi y. e At Peralta the main interest centered in a tuz-of-war between a team of married members and a team of those who are yet in single blessedness. The married men who tugged were: Schooi Director H. L. ‘Tisdale, anchor; A. C.von Loesecke, Wel- lington Gregg and Frank TFowler. The other team consisted of M. Barz, anchor; F.

He Shows Up Companies and Men Who Do No Come Up to the Standard. The Cadet Company, Eoys'High School, Comes in for Very Severe Censure—A Waste of Money. Major Charles Jansen, brigade inspector of the Second Brigade of the National Guard of California, in his report of his inspection held last May and published 1n General Orcers No. 4 frim brigade headquarters, has occasion to find fault with & number of the companies of the First Regiment, and he does not stand ou ceremony in expressing himself. In the orders Brigadier-General, Warfiela very mildly, in view of the caustic criticism, says: In submi:ting the inspector’s report herewith { isas an inducement to the various commands (0 put forward their b st efforts to oOvercome the shoricomings as revea.ed tnereby. The inspector, 1a his report 10 the a general, says of the Second Brigade: The numerical strength at_the previous muster, 1896. was 1855 officers und men: present at mu: ter, 1594, or 96 per ceni: strength at this year muster, 1535 officers a 1d men, with 93 per cent, a decrease in strengih of 120 men from last year.
