E, the workers of the Methodist Mission Home of San Fran- cisco, appeal to all Christians to come to our assistance in the battle that is now being waged against the terrible evils that prevail in Chinatown in this City. The Chinese have combined and united their strength ina determin ed effort to wrest from the Christian workers their power to rescue poor girls condemned to a life of slavery and to undo all the work that has been done in the past. They are not only fighting in the courts, but have enlisted in their aid, by the use of money which they have wrested from the very women and girls whom we are ti {would scorn to be found fighting tirely without funds to employ it.

THE TIME OF TRIAL IS AT HAND.| All Denominations Are Asked to Unite Against Work of the Heathen. TWO TEST CASES ARE NOW ON HAND. Next Thursday and Friday Are Days When the Forces Will Units in Legal Battle, There is urgent need of Christian assist- | | ance now among the missionary workers | l'in that portion of San Francisco known as Chinatown, and unless it is rendered those who have devoted their lives to this cause there is great danger, not only of a cessation of the work, but of the undoing of all that has been done in the past. Realizing the importance of pushing on the work jus: now, when the entire Chi- nese population seems determined to put a stop to it because of its interference with their law-breaking, the Methodist mission have issued an ap- peal which is to be read in all the churches and public gatherings of Christians, call- ing for moral, spiritual and tinancial help pow in their time of trial. So close bave the Christian workers pushed the heathen slave-owners that the Chinese have combined, raised funds and inaugurated an open war on the missions and all others who are trying to put astop to the illicit traffic in human flesh. Ch nese mass-meetings have been held money hLas been raised by levving a ta on the inmates of houses of ill-fame and the determination has been expressea to make a fight to the bitter end against | what they are pleased to call an encroach- ment on their business. This week there will be two cas testsof the relative strength of tianity and heathenism in San Francis and itis i1 order that Caristianity may win that the workers have determinel to issue the follo ying appeal: APPEAL TO ALL CHRISTIANS: We, the crs of the Methodist Mission Home of £ ncisco, appenl to all Chris- tians to come 10 our assisiance in the baitle that is now being waged against the terrible ils that prevail in Chinatown tn this City.

DLER WINS Corinthians Hold an Inter- esting Regatta for Half-Raters. An Exciting Race Filled With Mishaps and Col- lisions, Kittiwake Wins Second Place—The Myth's Fine Sailing Creates a Surprise. The Corinthian’ regatta for half raters yesterday wasone of tbe most successful events ever heid By that organization. Smootn water and a good wind made it an ideal day for testing the merits of the small boats. The course was a triangular one off El Campo and the boats were sent overit twice so as to bring out all the zood qualities they vossessed. The first leg was arun out before the wind to a stakeboat anchored a mile away. From there the boats had a run on the reach to another stakeboat anchored off Rings Point and then back sgain to the judges’ boat. Commodore Young fired the prepara- tory sienal at 12:35, and the hali-raters circied around the start and jockeyed for position. At 1 o’clock the starting gua was fired and the Kittiwake, sailed by ex- Commodore Pew and Eastwood, was the first boat to cross the line. The Weewon followed in her wake, and just as she jibed around the judges’ boat a sudden puff of wind struck her, and to prevent her from coiliding with the Clara the D:an boys | had to bring her about, losing a few min- utes. The Idier, in command of Frank Stone and Tom Miller, went over the line safely and started after the Kittiwake. No. 8, one of ihe Pacitic Yacht Club’s new half-raters, sailed by Tom Hill, went wrong as she crossed tue line. The jaws of her mainsail became un- shipped, and before it was placed back in position she lost some time. No. 13, sailed bv C. J. Connell, and 5, sailed by George White, both of the Pacifics, man- aged to get safely away, s also did the Venture, manned by Vice-Commodore Westerfeld and Jack Snort. The Dart also played in hard luck, for just asshe was going to start she lost her rudder and had to withdraw. Although unable to compete in the race this did not discon- cert Wainwright and ddie Lathrop as these two worihies had a merry time maneuvering around the bay, using their sails as steering gear. The Doris was late 12 crossing, owing to a misunderstanding of her skippers in re- gard tothe starting gun. The boat crossed the line withont mishap and followed after the leaders, Scutherland suffered the severest accident of ad. Just as he was jibing around the stakeboat he met with the kind of accident that befell the | Deans, The wind struck his mainsail | Wwith great force, and before he could turn about his boat collided with the Clara. His bowsprit was snapped in the collision, which put him out of the race. The Myth, sailed by Harrison and Allen, en- countered the same blow, but seeing their clubmates’ predicament turned about in time to avoid a collision. In coming about they shipped a great deal of water, but having rid themselves of it they con- t.nned the race. To the leeward stakeboat the half-raters presen ed a beautiful picture. Commo- dore Pew led the van with the Idler close up. The two leaders, little by little, widened the gap between themselves and the other boats and when they turned the first stakeboat had quite a lead. On the reach to the Ring Point stakeboat the Idler gained on Kittiwake, and, nearing the turn, passed her. The Ialer sustained her lead and at the finish of the first leg was about 150 feet ahead. Tue time of the leader at this point was 1:38 . M. The Venture had to give up the contest owing to the heavy wind. The skippers in charge reefed, but this was of no avail, | as the boat could not stand up under the | blow. At one time sha keeled over and shipped a cockpit full of brine, treating the vice-commecdore and his crew to a ducking. The Wildwood seeing their pre- dicament came to their assistance and gave them a tow. As they neared the judges’ boat the skippers made a sorry ap- pearance. The crew in attempting to move about the boat fell overboard and succeeded in wetting his clothes and scaring the passengers on the launch. Short, being 4n expert swiminer, seemed to enjoy his bath, as he remained in the water quite a time, Tne Kiitiwake encountered the same trouble that prevailed during the whole | race. As she was j:bing around the Ciara | the mainsall and ibe sheet caughtin the | block and the sail would not run. The mishap cansed a slight delay, owing to the boat being put about. The other boats were hopelessly out of the race, but like true yachtsmen they stayed to the fini-h. The ldler continued in the lead and widened it perceptibly after turning the Ring Point stakeboat. The victor crossed the winning line about 100 yards ahead of her rival at 2:12:56 . M. The time is con- sidered very fast for small raters, as the boats sailed over twelve miles. The Kitti- wake was the second to finish, at 2:16:2 three minutes and forty-one secouds be hind tue leider. ; Hearrison’s Myth finiched third at 2. Her fine sailing createa a big surprise. Tue little ULoat started last nearly tive minutes behind the leaders and atter meeting Wwith a setback over- came the lead and passed all the other boats in the race. The Doris followed her speedy clubmate and crossed the line at 4, also in good time. The Weewon [kinds of squalls passed 22, afler meeting al the line at 2:29:22. 5 The Pacific Yacht Club's representatives were not in the race ai any stage. No. 5, sailed by George White, finished at 2 d No. 8, sailed by Tom Hill, fin- 58, shed al . The judg s on board the Clara were P. J. Martenstein, D, Erskine, Jack O'Brien and . B, Lathrop. The yachts Pride and Pinta acted as stakeboats. The winning boat was designed and built by Frank Stone, who sailed her to victory. The prizes were beautiful siik flaws for first and second places, Yacutsmen were outin foice yesterday to witness the race. 1 around the course, adding great beauty to the scene: Queen, Nixie, Pride, Chispa, XE>ius, Wave, Freda, Catherine, Pinta, F¥eu Follet, Truant, Flving Jib, Neilie, S'gnus, Amigo, Sappho, La Paloma, Nixie and E.ia.
