The Oakland men are strong in putting, and the Presidio links furnish almost no opportunity for skill in this department nJ the game. The Oaklanders think that some at le: of their men are individu- ally as strong players as the San Fran- cieco men, fnasmuch as they have done the nine holes on the Oakland links in fewer strokes than the best San Francisco men. —_———— In the Handball Courts.

At the time he appeared before the Lexow committee the press of San Francisco was filled with long accounts of the in- vestigation. Chief McLaughlin is a thoroughly business looking person. He is rather under height, but stockily built. His hair is gray, but there is no- thing else about him to indicate the thirty years of service he has seen in the Police Department. At present he 18 one of the five deputy chiefs and has charge of the borough of Manhattan. Years ago he was a detective'in the Dis- trict Attorney’s office before Superin- tendent Byrnes was made Chief Inspec- tor. He was then assoclated with Detec- tive Richard O'Connor and they were known as the “two Dicks.” McLaughlin was made detective sergeant by Super- intendent Byrnes when he took charge of the Detective bureau, and afterward made captain. He was in the Old Slip station when transferred to the West Thirtieth street statfon. ‘When seen last night Chief Mclaugh- lin said: “T have merely come to San Francisco on a pleasure trin. and I pro- pose to remsin here a week or ten days.

Subject of an Eloque;lt Address by Father McCorry at St. Mary's Church. “The Other Wise Man’ constituted the | subject of an interesting and eloquent lec- ture by rfather McCorry last evening at | St. Mary’s Church. The lecture, although given for the purpose of emphasizing the charity and love of one of the wise men of Egypt In succoring his fellow man on | the desert at the risk of losing sight of the Messiah, included a complete pic- ture of the birth, life and death of the Suvior. Father McCorry spoke of the first advent of the miraculous star in the | eastern sky, and traced the journey of | the inspired sages from KEgypt to the | manger at Bethlehem. In following them from country to coun- the preacher never lo=t nor thoroughly | cast to the background the idea of the Redeemer. | The lecture was concluded with an elo- | auent description of the remaining days of Christ on earth—his trial before and condemnation by Pilate, his agony in the garden and his death upon the cross. | —————— RIVAL BALLOONISTS.

In his topic, “Christianity as Applied to Labor,” Rev. William Rader at the Third Congregational Chur after showing how littie up-to-date Christianity sympa- thized with the soul needs of the laboring man, severely arraigned the churches for thelr sin of omission. “Religion,” said the speaker, “must work not so much for the salvation of the individual as for the sal- vation of society. Christ dled for the world, not for one man, and it is time for the ministers of the gospel to speak the kingdom of heaven into the heart of labor. The church has been interested in other matters too long already. ‘The church is not antagonistic to the working man, though the Socialists hold o that dea. | — e A Victim of Footpads. B.
