S The spring exhibition of the San Fran- clsco Art Association was inaugurated last evening, and soclety and art con- | nosseurs assembled to enjoy the very creditable display made by local artists. It was a ‘‘retrospective exhibition"—that is the greater number of the paintings on view had been shown before, but hardly | under such favorable circumstances. «or the first time painungs were hung {in the new Mary Frances Searles gallery | and the house gailery was given over to | the display of statuary. ‘I'he arusts make no claim for anything | startling in the present exhibition. How- | ever, tney do claim that they have some | Yery good work to show, and all who were fortunate enough to be present last even- ing must agree with the exhibitors. --any of the most striking pictures at the exhibition were shown at the Bohe- mian Club exhibition in the fall.

The music, under the able direction of Sir Henrv Heyman, was quite a feature of the evening. The exhibition will con- tinue for four weeks and will be open to the public every afterncon and on_every Thursday evening during the month. TOM O'ROURKE ROASTS SAILOR TOM SHARKEY Says He Will Relinquish the Man- agement of the Pugilist Because He Is a Coward. NEW YORK, March 22.—Tom O'Rourke announced to-day that he would on Sep- tember 1 give up the management of Tom Sharkey, the prize-fighter. He sald: “He is the biggest moral coward I have ever had anything to do with. He ralks | about meeting any man in the world, and | whenever he is pitted against anybod: Wwho can fight he tries to dodge the issue.” ““When did be ever try to hedge?” asked the reporter. ““Why, he dodged Fitzsimmons on Tucs- day. il Sharkey had come to time and acted like a man that fight would not have been declared off. He saw Fitasim. mons meant business, and that was enough for him. ““The public does not know it, but there came very near being no ht between Sharkey and Jeffries. At the last moment 'Il'.om declared he would not leave Staten land, givi the cheapest sort of ex-, L o1 ed him and | cuses. I pleaded with him, be; then threatened to make little Walcott take his place. A sense of the disgrace from such an act finally shamed him into fighting."” O’Rourke s he will compel Sharkey to t a many men before Septem- . when his contract expires. Gus Ruhlin is to be the first. and O'Rourke will make a match next Monday between the Akron glant and the sailor. g ey o e SANTA FE HEADQUARTERS.

Nevin stated that the headquarters would be removed to Fresno, as the road could be operated more advantageously from that point, it being the end of a day's run.

Opium Fiend Arrested While At- tempting to Dispose of a Por- tion of the Stolem Property. R TS S Burglars did bold work in the block of business houses bounded by California, Davis, Sacramento and Front streets early yesterday morning. Four of the leading commercial houses of the eity were entered and one of the alleged rob- bers was landed in the tanks at the Call- fornia-street Police Station by Detective Harper last night, while he was attempt- ing to dispose of some of the stolen prop- erty. | Some time after midnight Wednesday | burglars gained an entrance to a court in the center of the biock by climbing over |an iron gate which guards a driveway through which freight is hauled to ‘the rear of the houses. From this position. they had access to the rear of almost all jof the buildings on the block and could operate free from molestation. Before the bold criminals wers satisfied | with the work of the night four business houses had been brokea into and fioodl stolen from each. A guantity of high- riced champagnes and wines was stolen rom the store of Macondray & Co., ship- ing and commission merchants, 11§ Cali- |fornia street. A typewriter was takem from the offices of J. G. Ward & Co., agents for the Oregon and Washington Flour Company, at the same address. Varlous articles which could be easily and conveniently handled were selected from the stock of H. N. Tilden & Co., whole- sale dairy produce dealers, at 211-213 Sac- ramento street, and also from the At- lantic Fish Company adjoining. In each place the burglars also robbed the tele- phone boxes. Detective Harper was detalled on the case and discovered an opfum flend who gives the name of Ward attempting to dispose of the typewriter taken Ward's office.
