Should he be found guilty, however, the penalty of course would be expulsiol from membership and from the church If the South Methodists have feit any | reat interest in the trial they have care- ully concealed it, but there is evidently an undercurrent of feeling among the many delegates that the conference, | which contains some 8000 communicants, has been very seriously injured by the | scandal. | At this morning's session of the confer- | ence the committee on district records and the Board of Education read reports, which were adopted; and Colonel Austin, resident of the Pacitic Methodist Col- | lege, spoke at length on the college work and the necessity of raising funds to con- tinue the same. A recommendation that $1500 be appropriated -toward the support of the college, the sum to be raised in | the different charges on the fourth Sun- | gay, in February, was adopted. The Revs. | J.

The times in the various sprint races did | not border on the sensational, but the completion throughout was keen. The air was sharp and crisp as befitted the 1st of October, but the high school bo; braved it all in the most abbreviated of garments. Abodie and Cadogan carried off the honors in the sprint races. The former reserved himself for the classic ‘“hun- dred,” which he won all the way. Cado-" gan won both the “220" and *‘440,” running clean away from his fields in both events. This was most noticeable in the quarter mile, when he won by the length of a street, his fleld being strung out behind him like the tail of a vagrant Kite. Estes of San Jose was the pick of the bunch in_the hammer throw. He was pressed closely by Nuckalls of Ukiah, a youth of aldermanic proportions. Both have great strength, and with coaching will develop into masters of the game. Tom Carroll, the professional, aided in conducting the field events. When the amateurs retired he tried the “hammer.” He wasn't feeling very strong, but In his first attempt he threw the implement over the fence. The second time he sent {1t (hrough.the fence, while at the third | attempt he placed it far up in the tennis court. The various events were run off in quick succession, there being no delays what- ever, thanks to John Elliott, who made an_excellent referee and starter. The size of the track interfered with the bicycle race. Two riders fell in one heat, but were uninjured. The championship banner was won by Oakland High School with 46 points; Poly- technic second, 27 points; Ukiah, 17; Lo- well, 16; Berkeley High School, 14; Peral- ta 6.
