Yesterday’s cricket match at Alameda between the Pacificand Alameda teams was quite the mo-t interesting of the sea- son to date. The Pacifics, who went in first, were minus several of their regular men, but in spite of this put up the very respectable total of 131, Sewell, Casidy snd Myers being the largest contributors. That their opponents managed to top this score by nine runs is due to the ex- ceilent batting of their ciotain, R. B. Hogue, scconded by Moriarty and the oid-time cricketer, Spiro. It was a most interesting game and toward its close a really exciting contest, though the bowling and fielding were gen- loose. lowing are the scores: PACTFIC ers b. Ward 2R ewe | ¢.

White Beat Birdsall and Johnson for the Honor of Fastest Time, The California Cycling Club held a big | road race over the San Leandro- Haywards | course yesterday morning. It was won I by W. Thomas, who, with one-minute handicap. covered the five-mile course in 12 min. 56 sec. Thomas H. White, who rode from the 15-sscond mark, made the fastest time, 12:24. The day was good for racing, the weather not beinz too warm. The road was in fair condition, though somewhat rough in places, The 1ace was remark- able in that but one of the twenty-tive original entrants failed to start, and every one of the starters finished—one or two on disabled wheels, it is true, from falls or punctures sustained on ths route, but they all crossed the tape sooner or later just the same. | The capturing of time-prize by White was something in the nature of a surprise to many, as it was thought that this honor would fall to Birdsall or Johnson, the scratch men.

The Sixth-street house is the only new fire buiiding in ihe city and the dor- mitories are in the second story. To facilitate reacning the engine when an alarm is sounded a pole runs between the two stories, It is not easy to slide down without practice, and it is very difficult to come down with one band. Foster was doing some single-handed acrobatic< to-day, and when about half way down, essayed to do a demi-volt. He landed on the floor and sustained severe injuries to his back, and was 1aken to the Receiving Hospital, He is suffering much pain, and serious developments may follow. i wo Robberles. OAKLAND, Can. July 25.—Two rob- beries were reported to the police to-duy. Charles A. Sinclair was stood up by three men on Thirteenth avenue early this morning and robbed of $5. The house of Superintendeut Gustafson of the Hay- werds road on Twenty-fifth uvenue was entered to-day and everything ransacked, but it is not known what was stolen, as the family is away. There are no clews to the robbers. —————— There are 68,000 postoffices in the United States; about 67,000 of them do not pay their expeases. THE SAPLINGS AND THE PUPPIES It Was Their Day at the Ingleside Coursing Park. Highly Bred Hounds Make Merry With Fleet-Footed Hares. Rossette and Cavalier, Belonging to P 0. Ourtis, and Welch's Tipperary Lass Made Records. The usual running of saplings and pupoies, occurring the last Sunday of each monih, took place vesterday at the Ingleside coursing park. The perform- ances, witnessed by a couple ot thousand neople, were highly gratifying and showed that tbe standard of breeding on this coast tar surpasses that of any other part of the United States. The youngsters showed better form than hose of 1 ar and the stake-winners of three years ago would, in comparison, only make a showing with the third-cla:s of the present day. The perfection of breeding that has been attained in hounds is an encouragement to the Interstate Coursing Club membere. Tuoey bave worked hard for years to bolster up coursing in this State, and 1t is only since a year ago last April, when they secured the Ingleside park, that they have been able to run their dogs on a legitimate course and command public interest. M. J. Donovan, the general superin- tendeatof the park, has settled down to 8 strict line of conduct, which pronibits anybody connected with the institution from either owning a dog or betting on any of the events. As a consequence, only the patrons of the park run their d and leave all decisions to John Grace, the best and most popular judge of coursing in the United States. Yesterday's events, some thirty in num- ber, were very close. The hares were strong and fuily half of the starters es- caped the dogs. There were but nine entries in the Sip- ling stakes for prizes of $27 50, $15 and $10. The cream of the day's work was done by P.C. Curtis’ Rossette and Vavaiier. They are lexs than a month out of the sap- ling class and they ran down twenty of the best bred dogs in the State months their senior. M. Welch's Tipperary Lass hkewise went to the front in great shape, put she is four months older than the Curtis dogs. Following were the results: Puppy stakes—P.

Big Beet Crop. OAKLAND, Car., July 25.—R. C. Peach of the Alameda Sagar Compa:y has just completed an inspection of the beet crop near Pleasanton and reports that the out- look is most satisfactory. Considering there has been no spring rains, he says, the yield will be exceptionally good. He estimates that the shipment from Pleasanton will be in the neighborhood of 15,000 tons. There re fifty beet-raisers in that part of the county and all of them will get good returns for the outlay for putting in and harvesting the crop. All the beets have been contracted for, and if Mr. Peach’s figures are correct the Ala- meda Sugar Company will pay to the beet- raisers hereabouts about $51,000, figuring on a basis of $3 40 a ton, the contract pr.ce.

Sliction Sales WEST 0AKLAND “GANGS” AGA Their Fate Will Be Decided by Those Now Under " Arrest. Restaurant Men Are Tnnocently Making Thieves of Boys. Ore Night's Show at the Exposition That Did Not Add to Its Dignity. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, July 25. § After two years of immunity from the brutal work of the West Oakland *gangs” some of the members have concluded that they have been quiet long enough, and during the past few weeks have broken outafresh. A few weeksagothey wrecked a restaurant, and & few nights ago they broke into a house and assaulted a woman. Some years ago these miscreants, who boasted ot maiming & police officer at least once & month, relied on their myste- rions “pull” for getting clear in the Police Court. This pull aid not reach the bench, but it left the Judge powerless. It was exerted to induce witnesses to leave the city when wanted, and thus cripple the police for lack of prosecution. After a while this pull disappeared, and several of the young criminals spent terms in jail, and the gangs were completely broken up. I?I‘l:\eir resurrection is the result of one of two things. They must either believe that the “pull’’ is revived or that the of- ficials are weakening. Probably neitber inference is true, but the members of the gang who are not under arrest have openly stated that they are carefully watching the progres- of the cases now in court and that their future actions will be guided by the result. This 1srather a bold threat and its meaning cannot be mistaken. There js another view of this question to be tak Recentiy a territory one-third of the siz>of the old city was added to the district over which Chief Lloyd is sworn to preserve order, but he has not been given a single extraman by the Com- missioners. This leaves a large territory totally ua- protected, because the numerous deputy sneriff= that formerly guarded the place in the new territory have no longer any jurisdiction. This condition of affairs adds greatly to the responsibility of the Police Court, for if these *‘gangs’ be not punished as thev deserve they will cer- tainly increase, and outlawry will prevail to an alarming extent in the unprotected territory. The men who owr the newspaper routes in this city bave discovered that they have a common grievance. Unwittinely, they believ-. the proprietors of restau- rants and saloons are encouraging young boys to steal. In a city where there are €0 raany residence sections a8 in Oakland the newspaper-carriers would lose a small fortune in time if they were required to place each paper under the dcors of sub- scribers that are sometimes fifty feet from the street. Knowing this, the subscribers are quite willing to have tueir papers thrown on their lawns or on their door- steps. Of conrse this system offers a great field for petty thievery, for a boy who can steal a dozen papers can make a living by theft. It has recently been learned that many restaurant-keepers will give a stale pie or loaf for a daily paper, and such a practice s0on becomes known among the small boys of the city. This has grown to such an extent that there are restaurants that take half a dozen papers a day irom the boys, g ving them in return pastry that would other- wise be thrown away. It is a hard mat- ter to ractify, for when a hungry-looking boy asks for u cake for a paper the restau- rant man feels that he is doing a kindness by complying. There is another side to be considered, however, and that is the subscriber’s view of it. After paying for a paper he expects to receive it, yet many miss it daily be- cause of thefts. There is now a lad in the City Prison charged with burglary who used to deliver newspapers, and he stated that he was first led to crime because he found out that by selling some of the newspapers he should have delivered he could acd to his pocket money. Route agents declare that this evil has now reached a point where public attention should be ealled to it. If there had been some arrests at the Exposition last Friday nighta great many people would not have been surprised. There were children on thestage giving *‘a public entertainmen.” in the strictest interpretation of the term—younger and more baby-looking than many who have cansed trouble to theatrical -uanagers. A eoodly part of the large audience enjoyed the verformance, but many did not. Lo see dozens of short-skirted litile tots, averaging from 6 to 12 years, high-kicking before an audience of 4009 people 13 not calculated to make these little maidens models of propriety and modesty when they are ten years older. Oue little lady did not appear to be more tuan 4or 5years old, and did not have envugh sirength to hold her hands overaead as long as the others, but continually allowed them to drop exhavsted by ler side. The exhibi- tion might have been all right at a family gathering, but at a county industrial ex- position it was certainly an undesirable innovation. Sruart W. BooTH. WILL WEAR EARRINGS, How Alamoda Proposes to Mark Cows When Tested. OAKLAND, CAL., July 25.—Cows on this side of the bay are 10 wear earrings. Those that have been tested and found to be healtby will be ornamented with a piece of official jewelry that will be at- hed to their ears with a piece of wire and sealed with the official seal of the Health Board. “I see it has been published that I would not accept acertificate from the Oakland inspector,”” said Dr. Carpenter, Alameda’s inspector, to-day. “That is not quite correci. 1 will cheerfullv ac- cept any certificate f:om a proper officer, provided he can identify the cows he has tested. To do this he must have a mark. Our Health Board has decided that every cow te-ted by me shall e adorned with an earring. It will consist of an aluminum button attached to a piece of wire. The wire will be pui on the cow’s ear, and clamped with ‘a little lead clamp bearing tbe seal of the Alamedsa Board of Health. If Dr. Pierce of Oakland will also mark his cows, so that we can know which have been tested, they can come into Alameda and be unmolested.” ————————— New Professor. BERKELEY, Cau, July 25.—Dr. M. Margolis, formerly connected with the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnaty, has been elected assistant professor oi Semitic languages ana literature under Dr. Jacob Voorsanger, at the State University. WARRIORS OF THE CROSS WEDDED Interesting Ceremony at the Salvation Camp at Trestle Glen. Special Services Held at Sun- rise and Continued Till Midnight, The Restaurant No Longer a Tent to Be Regarded With Well- Founded Suspicion. 0AkRLAND OFricE Sax Fraxcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, July 25. | The crownine feature of the camp-meei- ing at Trestle Glen was heid this morn- ing, when Capiain Quast was publicly wedded to Caplain Anna White at the pa- vilion at Trestle Glen. 1In order to help the expenses of the camp a small fee was charged for admission, but it could hardly b: called extortionate, as it admitted the investor to a programme of events com- mencing at 7 o'clock A. M. and lasting till 11 . M., with several invitations to kneel at the penitent form thrown in. The day’s sviritual bill of fare was very varied. There was a “hallelujah break- fas’ at 7 A. M.; a ‘‘make-me-better” gathering at 11; a wedding at 3, and a “Salvation blowout’ at 8. There were some fine speakers on the ground, and Major Brengle of New York is a very in- teresting man. Adjutaut E lis of Japan and Adjutant Armstrong of San Jose are also on band, and Major Wincheli is always entertaining with_his stories of social work. M.jor Meclntyre is very earnest and Major Marshall of Oregon creates the impression that he was once 8N orthodaox preacher. There was a great jam for the star num- ber of the day—the wedding. As over, “ail the world loves a lover,”’ and Saiva- tionists are no exception. They are1n- tensely human as well as humane, and when the ceremony reached that portion where the blushing groom is at liberty to kiss the bride everyoody cheered. Major Meclntyre verformed the ceremony and the music was supplied in generous vol- ume by the headquariers band. There is one great improvement that Salvationists have learned since last year. It is no longer with fear and trembiing that a visitor approaches the restaurant tent. In former years ihere has evidently been an idea that the preponderance cf spirituality atoned in a measure for a lack of fulln-ss on tue bill of fare. This is not 50 this year, and Adjutant Sam Ward,who isin charge of the commissary depart- ment, is proving a model officer. The camp-meeting will close next Sun- day night, and for the week a very attrac- tive programme has been YreparedA There are 50 per cen: more people in camp than have ever lived under canvas in Trestle Glen in the past. INTERIOR CONVENTION. Plans for the Endeavorers’ Meeting at Irvington in September. OAKLAND, CAL, July 25 —The plans for the coming. quarterly conveniion ot the Alameda County Christian Eadeav- orer Union at Irvington on September 11 and 12 are already well under way.

Monday evening, in the assembly-room of the Young Men’s Christian Association, will occur the regular annual meeting of the Oakland Oity Christian Endeavor Union. New officers will be elected and the work for the ensuing year outlined. The retiring president will recommend that the union make an attempt to secure the banner, presented by the United So- ciety for the moust done to promote sys- tematic and proportionate benevolence, during the coming year.

BERKELEY, CAL., July 25.—The ques. tion of constructing a fire-alarm system in Berkeley will come up again for discus- sion at the meeting of the Town Board to- morrow evening. A San Francisco elec- tric company offers to put in a complete system reaching to all parts of the town for $3000. The idea of spending such a sum of money for the purpose named does not meet with the approval of the general population, because of the lack of service it would afford when thesupply of water is taken into consideration In discussing the plan this afternoon President Richards of the board said: “There are so tew plugs in town and such a poor supply of water that it would be extravagance on the part of the Trustees to «pend the proposed $3000 on an alarm system. What ought to be done first is to get good water supply, and then add these things later. IfIam not mistaken there are only between forty and foriy- five plugs in the entire town. If we can- not get a water supply an alarm system wil. be useless.’” The board will listen to the protests from the property-owners having ho.dings alongz Haste street, who object to having it widened from 1hirty 1o sixty feet. Trus.ee W.H. Marston will serve president pro tem. in the absence of J. W. Richards, who has a sixty days’ leave. . President Richards wiil'go 10 the country in a few days to regain his health, which has recently been broken down Ly over- work. N SR et Boatraces on the Creek.
