In ad- dition to the large excursions that came from Tuolumne, Ne- vada and Calaveras Countles, there was one from Butte, and this crowd was augmented by an extremely large attendance from the city. W. C. Ral- TO TRI®P HASKINS ston superintended the drilling and wrestling contests and much of the v success is due to his ability. The Gov- | [ ernor and staff, Mayor Phelan and many prominent guests were present and made addresses.

OM SHARKEY will have a bout with the courts before he puts on thegloves with Jim Jeffries, the Los Angeles Giant. The Union Dellvery and Storage Company will engage him in legal combat to-day and endeavor to prove be- fore the law that the “Pride of the Navy” is “a very cheap guy.” The con- troversy will be over two hand satchels and a trunk. Sharkey holds the disputed articles. The dellvery company will go into court armed with an unpaid bill for transportation charges. Sharkey, who has taken up training headquarters at Heggerty’'s,on the Ocean Beach, had his clothing and training apparatus shipped him from Vallejo. The articles were securely packed in two valises and a trunk and shipped on the steamer Sunol, which arrived here Monday morning. Sharkey's brother and one of his trainers were at the wharf to receive the baggage. After receiving the checks they turned them over to an agent of the Union Delivery and Storage Company, with instructions to have the satchels and trunk delivered at Heg- gerty’s without unnecessary delay. No bargain was made as to the amount to be charged for the delivery of the baggage. That oversight on the part of the delivery company’s agent representative is the cause of the present trouble. The two satchels and trunk were entrusted to Joseph Griffin, oneof the driv- ers in the employ of the company, with instructions to make all possible haste to Heggerty's and to be equally speedy In collecting the charges, When Griffin reached the training quarters he jumped off the wagon and picking up the two satchels entered the place. He asked for Sharkey, and after delivering the satchels presented to him the way bill calling for $5 transportation charges. Sharkey, who had been punching the bag when the delivery wagon arrived, was somewhat exhausted, and when the bill was presented to him he almost col- a. and Sharkey's " he feebly ejaculated. sald Griffin, affably. “It is a long run out here, and the team have to be put In the stable when I get back to the city.” rkey had by that time recovered somewhat from the knockout blow given he bill. t you to understand, young fellow,” said he, “that while I'm not a cheap guy, I'm not a sucker. I won't pay any such amount.” “Then you can’t have the trunk,” replied Griffin. Sharkey was in a towering rage in an instant, and danced around the room. He wae In ring costume and Griflin was overawed. Fearing that Sharkey might take him for a punching bag he suggested a little long range fighting. He as- sured Sharkey that he was not responsible for the size of the bill and that the only redress to be had would be from the office. “I'm not a cheap guy,” repeated Sharkey, who had cooled down in a measure. “Two dollars is all I will pay you.” 4 “I will have to return the trunk to the city,” sald Griffin, “for if I do not t 1 will be held responsible for the charges.” Sharkey then engaged in some deep thinking and evolved a strategic play. “You had better telephone your office,” sald he.to Griffin, “‘and learn if a mistake hus not been made.” . Griffin, who feared that his nose might at any moment be spread over his face, quickly caught at. the idea of using the telephone. While he was engaged at the *phone Sharkey slipped out of the room. g “They say that rather than have any trouble they will accept $4 from you, Mr. Sharkey,” sald Grifiin, turning from the telephone. The room was deserted. Griffin hurried out on the beach and found Sharkey directing the removal of the trunk from the wagon by two of his trainers. Griffin: protested. He sald that the removal of the trunk under existing cir- cumstances was an offense punishable by law. Bharkey was obdurate and the trunk was carted into the tralning quarters. As an act of condescension Sharkey signed a receipt for the satchels and trunk and after his name wrote *‘protest.” When Griffin returned to the office and told the story of his adventures his employers became wroth and declared they would invoke the ald of the law. ““We are not going to stand any such imposition,” said S. A. Hussey, president of the dellvery company, last night, ‘and before we get through with Sharkey he will realize that he has been in a mix-up. We intend having a warrant issued for his arrest to-morrow and if the criminal courts cannot deal with the case we will try the civil courts. It will cost Sharkey more than $ before. he is through with us. It is not the first time that he has tried such tactics. He says that he is not a cheap guy. I feel that before we are finished he will find that he is mistaken on that point."” *‘Correct, sir, coll ;and from Honolulu to the Golden Gate. | “My friends, gold is the theme of the day we celebrate. But he ill interprets the thought and the ideals of our peo- ple who imagines that in this State, or on this day, or in our heart of hearts we do not know that the claim of Cali- fornia to the gratitude of the nation | can never rest alone on the fact of the | material discovery of fifty years ago, or | the material production of the years | that have followed. This is indeed the | Golden State, but, beyond all our golden one billion, three hundred mil- lion dollars of the royal metal, beyond our golden grain, our golden oranges, our golden popples, our golden sunshine | and our golden wine, the history of our pioneer fathers and mothers, their struggles and triumphs in frontier life and mining camp contain a promise, that here, in the veins of this mighty commonwealth, in the life and soul of | this great people, are other treasures, | the outcroppings of which we see to- | day, the gold of an upright, downright lightning defying intellectual honesty; | the gold of a sincere and - reverent | spirituality; the gold of a frank, brave, | strong and tender manhood; the gold | of an intelligent, loving, loyal, pure | and plucyy womanhood. These are the | treasures which California will lay at | the feet of the nation; these are the | | | virtues which are the lineal descend- ants of the courage and the heroism and high endeavor of the gulches and the mines, of those immortal scenes and incidents of the days of '49 that are | to be the burden and the theme of the | ‘unsung Illad’ of the Sierras and the | pines.” The Cornish wrestling contest for heavy and light weights were next upon the programme and proved most | interesting. The judges were J. Pol- kinhorn and E. S. Van Court, while the referee was George Miehligg of the | Olympic Club. The first contest was | between J. W. Jaffaud, 197 pounds, and | Fred Webster, 185 pounds. Jaffaud | | was an easy winner in the first bout, ‘Webster being in no condition. The second contest, between James | Rodda, 156 pounds, and Charles Has- kins, 160 pounds, was a lively one, and lasted for six bouts. Haskins won. Thomas Whalen, 171 pounds, and Ollie | | Phillips, 148 pounds, put up a lively | four bouts. The contest was won by ‘Whalen. The terms of the wrestling | were for two hips and a shoulder or two shoulders and a hip to constitute a fall. The other wrestling and rock drilling contests come off to day and to-morrow. | It was 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon ‘when Governor Budd and staff, accom- panied by Hon. Jacob H. Neff, presi- dent of the California State Miners' Association, Mayor Phelan, Colonel E. A. Denicke and S. J. Hendy, entered the Pavilion and took seats upon the band stand. Their entrance was the signal for the formal opening of the miners’ day exercises and the crowd rapidly gathered around the stand. President Neff bespoke success for the miners’ day and paid the fair a high compliment for its varied exhibit and excellent management. He then introduced Governor Budd, who spoke as follows: “Fifty years ago when gold was first | discovered it started an immigration to. California from the other. States of all kinds and classes of _people, who sought here not only gold, but a new home. Presto, in a few years Califor- nia became a State, and now it is the San Francisco has ever had and he will speak to you now.” Mayor Phelan with this introduction, after acknowledging the compliment pald him, said: “San Francisco is the chief city of the State and coast, and many and vast are the benefits derived from its great commercial prosperity. This pros- perity makes possible in the art of mining what otherwise would not be possible. Her citizens are eager to do their best, and this exhaustive display testifles the fact. “By a strange coincidence it 1s just fifty years since gold was discovered here, and now comes a similar discov- ery in the great north. This will only serve to add to the glory and gain of the city. Let me add that, while the money of this city has made many things possible to the miners, they have repald their debt, for with their orders for mining outfits and machin- ery, they iIn their turn have made it possible for those firms to establish plants here that enable them to help build the American navy; so that San Francisco has become known as a ship- building city. On this Washington's birthday, while we welcome you to our city, let us not forget that California is part and parcel of this great Union, ever ready to do her part in upholding the national honor, and we cannot tell from the present crisis how soon she may be called upon.” At the conclusion of the addresses the invited guests witnessed the three- handed drilling contests between the representatives of Nevada and Tuo- lumne counties, Nevada County was represented by Pat and John Feeney and Joe Larkin, and Tuolumne by Lewis Page, John Kitto and John Dingle. The first prize was $225, and the second $120. This was offered by the State Miners’ Associa- tlon. The terms of the contest were for fifteen minutes’ drilling in solid granite, and while the world’s record of 43 inches was not broken excellent ones were made. The judges were Professor Waldmer Lindgren of Stanford Uni- versity and Professor S. B. Christy of the University of California, while Ed- ward H. Benjamin was the time- keeper. 3 Tuolumne County won the toss and took the second hole and the second round. This made Nevada County open the contest and at the crack of the pistol they began. Larkin held the drill and the Feeney brothers did the strik- ing. They worked without a single change. As the minutes were counted Off by the time-keeper the crowd | gathered around and cheered and the band struck up a lively air. Tuolumne followed with 1its team. Page, Kitto and Dingle alternated with the drill. After an examination of the holes the judges announced that Ne- vada County had drilled 36% inches and Tuolumne County 41% inches. Tuolum- ne won by 45 inches. ey ON THE MARION. A Grand Reception by the Local Di- visions of the Naval Militia. On Monday the United States cteam- ship Marion. now the training ship of the naval militia, located at this port. was transformed into as magnificent a bower as potted plants, shrubs, flags and ban- ners could make it, the occasion being a Teception to friends given by the petty officers and members of the ‘local -divi- |8 canvas awnings and the scene was made brilliant by numerous incan- descent lights that gave the hun- | dreds of ladles and their escorts who | were invited an opportunity to see what a warship looks like when decorated on an | occasion of ceremony. In addition to the | many citizens there were present Captain Tyrner, Lieutenant Commander A, Nerney, executive officer, and many of the other officers. | Between 8 and 9 o'clock there was a promenade concert, during which time the guests had an opportunity to examine the ship and her armament and after that there was dancing on the main and on the poop deck. The event was one that was enjoyed to the fullest by all present, and to the following named committees is due the credit of the Success of the affair: Arrangements—Ensign George E. Kam- merer, Lieutenant Harry P. Gray, Petty Officer Henry Harris, Petty Officer J. C. Kelly, Petty Officer Russell F. Reed, Pet- ty Officer J. Frank Murphy, Petty Officer George E.

When the pressure Is high in the interfor and low ong the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast, rain is probable; but when the “low’’ is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is im- robable. With a “high” in the vicinity of daho, and the pressure falling to the Cali- fornia coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER REPORT. (120th Meridian—Pacific Time.) SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22, 5 p. m.
