10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, DAY OCTOBER 31, 189 PRESENTED WITH SILVER BY KNIGHTY The Drill Corps of California Commandery Given a Reception, A MOST ENJOYABLE BANQUET. Speeches and Music While Away a Very Delightful Evening for the Masons, THE HALL WAS SUPERBLY DECORATED, | More Than Two Hundred People Par- took of an Elegant Repast—A Reception at the Cliff House. | “And the night sha'l be fillea with langhter; And the cares tnal infes! Shall fold their tents, like And as silentiy steal away.” 1f the poet who wrote these lines could have dropped into the Masonic Temple last night, | clad in & full-dress suit, he would have looked upon & scene which was an exemplification of his muse, for the cares of life were forgotten and laughter reigned supreme. The occasion was & reception and banquet tendered by California Commendery No. 1, Knights Templar, to the Drill Corps. The af fair was the function of the season in Masoujc | circies, and brought forth & large assembiy of gallant Knights and fair ludies, to the number of 215. The decorations surpassed anything of the kind ever before attempted by the Masons, snd that is saying a great deal. When Presi- dent Harrison was entertsined by that body. the Masons outdid themseives in the profuse- ness and elaborateness of the display, but those who looked upon the decorations of the banquet-room last night were both surprised | ana delighted, for the ball had been trans- | formea into a sylvan retreat where the floral beauty of every clime was represented. It scems &s if the ladies whose excellent taste had produced such an enchanting efiect had the assistance of the fairies in gathering the brightest and sweetest-scented flowers to give & charm to the scene. Red and white streamers branched out from an ornamental piece suspended from tie center of the ceil- ing. The ends of the streawers were lost in | the ferns and American flags which covered | the gasjets along the wails. Looped above and below these gasjets were red and white | bunting bespangled with stars, the lower ends being caught up under American shields. Potted flowers and tropical plants The chandeliers were al- y soft foliaged ferns, through the electric light streamed with a which mellow glow. The wall at the farther end of the hall was hidden by a large American flag, in the center of which was an oil puinting of George Wash- ington framed by American flags and flanked on either side by the silk banners ot the com- mandery. | In front of the eminent commander’s chair i was a perfect mass of flowers and tropical | plants. In an anteroom which wes hidden- from view by the American colors Bennett's or- chestra wes siationed and dispensed sweet music during the intermissions beiween the speeches. It was after 10 o’clock when the guests filed into the banquet-room. Afier a few introduc- tory remarks the tosstmaster, Eminent Sir John P. Fraser, called upon Rev. Dr. Sir W. E Smith to respond to the toast of *The Drill | Corps.” Among other things Sir Smith said: Though the age of chivalry, with its accom- paniments of tour nament and minstrelsy, has passed, and though the time when knight 2rrants poised lance and uplilted battle-ax has become the theme of song and story, there is yet need for the equipment and maintenance ©of commanderies of Knights Tempiar. The cause of innocent maidens, helpless or- phans, destitute widows and the Christian re- lig 0 be champioaed by modern Sir , and this they will do as creditably as oid battle-scarred kuight~ who won immortality in the days when spurs were only worn by veierans. There are muny reasons why Knights Tem- plar should be expert in sword exercises. Aside from tue sterner asects of the question there remains the jact that calisthenic exer- cises of whatever character tend to make men as well as ladies graceln ie c:ill corps of this commsa illustrated the law of beauty iu se petitive drills in this Etate, and by liant maneuvers won gistinction. . Their excelience in drill is largely attributanle to the efliciency of their | commandunt, E. Sir Reuben P. Hurlbut,who is recognized throughout this grand jurisdiction | #s a tactician of remarkable ability. This reception and banguet tendered to the @il corps by the commandery tells the story of how their loyaity and the successes won by the corps are appreciated, and how highly its members are estecmed. To the commandant, §E. Sir R. P. Hurlbut, we must voice tne sentiment of the com: mandery in a different way, and 1 have been riquested by tue eminent commander, Sir John P. Fraser, on behalf of the commandery. to present to the commandant of this drill corps, E. Sir Reuben P. Hurlbut, this elegant | service of silver. : tie then presented a solid silver service of 138 pieces, of the latest design, which was made by W. K. Vanderslice. Captain Hurlbut appeared to be dazed by the fervor of the speaker, but recov- ered himself, and in words full of feeling | to respond to the toast of “*The Ladies' | wards, Colonel C. H. Murphy, Captain H. thanked the commandery for the appri ciation which the presentation mani- fested. A quartet composed ot D. M. Lawrence, Sir R. E. Smith, Sir A. A, Batkin and Sir 2. G. MacBain sang “*Sally in OQur Alley,” after which Eminent Sir W. H. L. Barunes po responded 10 the toast of “ihe Stars and Stripes.” After eulogizing the order of which he had been the commander for seven years. he addressed himself to “Old Glory,” and told in words of eloguence of tha glories of the country wnose flag bore the glori- | ous stripes and stars, and said that although we had been a nation which had acquired territory we had done so by tempering might with right, and bistory would stow that we had paid for the country which we had conguered by force of arms. He closed by predicting that the American flag would be followed around the world and that the nations of the earth would bail it and sing “Yankee Doodle.”” | Henry E.r Highton had the pleasant duty of respunding to Culifornia Com- mandery No. 1, K. T., and related the history of Masonry on this coast. Sir Eugene E. Deuprey was called upon in the absence of Sir George A. Knight, who was programmed for it. Mr. Deuprey, although 1aken by sarprise, acquitted himself admirably, He said many uice things about the ladies and received a hearty round o! apnlause. Samuel M. Shortridge responded to ‘Tue Press’” and Sir Peter Dean spoke to he toast of **Ihe Pittsburg Conciave of | 1898."" Uncle George Bromley made some 1e- marks in a happy vein and was presen ted by the ladies with a miniature bed.

As pleasant a social affair as has been held at the CLiff House for a long time was the reception, ball and supper tendered | Colonel William Edwards (commander) | and members of the drill corps of Golden | Gate Commandery No. 16, Knichts Tem- plar, last evening by J. M. Wilkins nnd wife. The guests assembled early in the even- ing ana whiled away the hours pleasantly | in dancing, with the deep tones of the | sea as an accompatiment to the lighter | airs.

Sumner to “The Drill Corps,” and Colonel C. F. Murphy to “The Ladies.”” A feature of the evening was the reading of an original poem by C. S. Benedict.

SOHOOL BOARD WINS. Dr. 0’Donnell’s Complaint of Malfeas- ice Thiown Out of Court. Judge J. F. Dunne of the Superior Conry yesteraav sustained a demurrer of the San Francisco Board of Education to the complaint filed azainst them by Dr. C. C. O'Donnell, in whica he charged that they had been guilty of malfeasance in office. The point made in Dr. O’Donnell’s complaint was that the Board of Educa- tion violated the law by adopting for use in the public schools of this city a book called “*‘Swinton’s Word Analysis’ in the place of the ‘‘State Scries Speller and Word Analv<is” that had been ordered by the State Board of Education. By thus endeavoring to revolutionize the school system of this great metropolis Dr. O'Donnell argued the defendanis were guilty of malifeasance in office and ought to be ousted from the positions which he thonght they no longer honored. Judze Dunne sustained the demnrrer that w interposed by the defendants, and in doing so remarked briefly on the principles that govern in a case of this kind. He held that the allegations of the complaint if taken as true were not suf- ficient to show that a public offense had been commitied; that the charge of mal- feasance was not sustained by the circum- stances et forth and that the comnvlaint appeared to be without merit. The de- murrer was, therefore, sustained witLout leave to amend. —————— ADVANCES made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal. Noonan, 1017-1073 Mission CAUGHT IN THE SHAFTZG. Charles G.

Yesterday’s coursing at Ingleside was particularly marked by the life and work- ing qualities of the hares, ‘T'wo stakes were on the cards, an all-age event ana a sprint for puppies. The run-down of both was puiled off during the afiernoon and the ties will pe run to-day. In the main the favorites proved worthy of their backing. But not all. In the second course of the day the great St. Lawrence went out a 5101 favorite over Blackstone and Blackstone turned him down with ease. The hare also turned them both down, leading them through a particularly iong course and then diving successfully into the escape. The other notable upsets were: Moun- taineer’'s victory over Myrtle, Flashligit's defeat of the famous Royal Buck, Mary R’s win over Alma and Green Valley Maid’s downing of Gallant Foe. During the week the entire field has been harrowed and raked clear of all stones, and the work of both the hounds and the hares showed markedly the im- provement wrought, The result of the running in detail was as follows: All age, open stake—G.

There is an aftermath to the Walcott and Lavigne fight. Last night reports that the fight was prearranged and that Walcott did not try to whip his opponent were heard every- where, but of the muny p-ople who freely expressed their opinions that Walcottaid not try to win, not a single one of them could give a satisfactory explanation or would even allow his name to be men- tioned. Concerning the report of a “*fake’” which appeared in big letters in an evening paper, Tom O'Rourke, the manager and backer of Walcott, said that the writer of the article in question had either a very limited knowleage of the game or other- wise thought that a little sensation would help the paper along. “You can see how far the fellow got away from facts,” said O'Rourke, *'by re- ferring to that part of his article which says that ‘Peters, the proprietor of Wal- cott’s training quarters, bandled a large amount of money, but he placed it on La- vigne and aata he was placing it for O'Rourke.” “Well, now, in the first place I have not the least knowledge of a man living in Alameda by the name of Peters, and in the second place Johnny Croll is the pro- prietor of Walcott's training quarters. “The article goes on to say that So-and- 8o could prove that the fizht was a fake, and a lot of other stuff which sounds ri- diculous. “I pay not the least attention 10 the ‘ake story. The best evidence that the fight was on the square was the manner in which the people who witnessed it re- ceived the decision on Friday evening. “Everybody was seemingly pleased, ana I am satisfied that thesporting people of this city will waita long time before they will witness another fight like it That's all I can say.” O'Rourke intends to leave for the East in the near future, but before taking his departure he will challenge Lavigne on bebalf of Walcott to a return match. He stated last evening that Walcott takes on weight very fast in this climate, but if Lavigne wants satisfaction he will vit bis protege against nim at 137 pounds, weigh in at the ringside if satisfactory. ‘When Billy Lavigne, the brotherof the fizhter, was informed of O'Rourke’sinten- tion he said that he would have to consuit his brother on the matter tefore an answer could be vouchsafed. Billy did not think, however, that his brother would cousent to give Walcott a pound over the weight he fought at the other vening. He said he had u telegram irom Len Houseman o1 Chicago last even- ing in which he stated that if Lavigne | would journey East he had a good thing for him in keeping. The Lavignes will not leave here for a few weeks. The fighters are not feeling very sore from the punishment they receivea. Wal- cott is still troublea with cramps in his nether limbs and stomach. O’Rourke stated last evening that he would wager $5000 that Tom Sharkey counld not stop Walcott in ten rounds at catch weights. A match of thiskind would attract considerable attention. The National Club arranged last even- | ing to “‘pull off”’ the Green and Zeigler fight on November 10 and the Choynski and Jeffries fight on the evening of No- vember 16. The Knickerbocker Club has selected November 18 as the date on which the Sharkey and Goddard fight will take place. During the coursz of the fight on Friday night Harry Corbett’s poolicom was so crowded that it was almost imposgible to move around, and the resuit was jusi what might b expected under the circum- stances—a few members of the light- fingered traternitv reaped a harvest. Afier the excitement had somewhat subsided Mr. Corbett made the discovery that his “sparkler’” had disappeared. J. F. Glynn was minus a gold watch and chain and numerous other losses were reported. * —— RETURNS FROM JAPAN, Senator Cannon of Utah Arrives With Interesting Data From the Orient. United States Senator Frank Cannon of Utah arrived yesterday on the steamer Peru from Japan. of Alabama and ex-Senator . Dubois of Idaho he left for China and Japan last August to study the financial and inuuns- trial conditions prevailing in those coun- tri Senator Cannon was seen at the Palace Hotel last night. The gentleman said he had had a very pleasant trip to the Orient, and that he had learned a great deal during his travels. Senator Pettizrew and himself would embody their conclusions in a re- port to be submitted to the Senate at the next. session of Congress. What they were he did not feel at l:berty to state. He returned with his mind unchanged regarding the free coinage of silver and the need of the world for more money. The Jupanese Government nad decided to adopt the gold standard, but had once postponed the time in which the law should go into effect. The last time fixed was for vember 1. They had com. menced coining gold before he left Japan, but coining eoid, he remarked, did not settle the question. The problem now was how were the Japanese to get rid of their enormous stock of silver., The Japanese people seemed to be pros- perous, and they were getting higher prices for their products. Senator Cannon said he favors the annexation of the Hawaiian Islanas to tne United States. Senators Pettigrew and Dub»is are still in Japan,and intend to return to the United States on the next steamer. ST Music at the Park.
