URECY DVER TICKETS FOR PRIMARES Factions Fear Frankness Will Rob Them of Some Advantages. ey Oakland Office San Francisco Call, - 1118 Broadway, Aug. 24. The greatest secrecy has been observed in regard to the tickets that will be voted at the polls to-morrow. The candidates fear that some advantage will be taken of thelr announcements. In some parts of the county there will be four elections. The entire county will vote for delegates to the State conventlon and for a county convention that will nominate Judges, but only in parts of the county will there be visors. The tickets for delegates to the State convention that will nominate elec- | tors will be pink in color and the entire county of Alameda will be entitled to vote No one seems to have paid much attention to these tickets, but they will be in every district. The delegates to the county convention, which will nominate two Judges, will be on white paper. There is no contest io the remomination of Judges John Eils worth and F. B. Ogden and so there will be no contest on the white tickets. The bright red tickets will be for Su- pervisors, and the biue tickets for Stars Senator. In the Forty-ninth Assembly District there will be but one ticket, upon which Mitchell has named twelve delegates and Pierce twelve and ten of which are un- pleaged. This ticket reads as follow: ¥rank K. Mott, George W. Reed, J. C. Dunne, P, Lynch, E. A. Young, O. Lieber- mann, D. R. Wentworth, Thomas Dowd, Walter Gaskin, A. V. Long, W. H. Blood. W. F.

Hagar (representing Contraector Barrett) assembled on the site. There was no speechmaking or cere- mony of any sort. The assistants of En- gineer Clement located the lot lines and | levels and drove stakes to indicate where | the foundations will be placed. In the afternoon the first loads of building ma- | terial were hauled to the ground. On Monday a gang of men will begin the ex- cavations. Those who have been active in advanc- ing the new library project are not a little elated that actual work has already been | begun on the structure. Six weeks before | Mr. Carnegie made his offer to the city | of Oakland he presented the citizens of | San Diego with $50,000 for a library, the | gift being made under the same conditions as that of Oakland.

As a committee of arrangements ths Native Sons of the Golden West have in he past few weeks attracted a great deal of attention. The Native Sons organiza- | tion was the result of a meeting of boy# held in this city on the night of the 25th of June, 1869. The following account o? | that meeting appeared n The Call of the following day: The meeting of boys at Lincoln Hall last | night was well attended. The best order pre- | valled. John C. Peiton, who presided, and sev- { eral other gentlemen. ' explained the call for | the meeting which has been issued by General A. M. Winn, grand marshal of the Fourth of | July procession. It was resolved to organize a comvany of boys and uniform them w red caps. black pantaloons. white shirts el black beits. Jore tham 100 names were en rolied. John B. Willlams was nominated for marshal, but he declined, and John C. Pel ton was nominated and eiected amid a grand huzza. The big hoys who wera at the meeting were John B. Williams, Thomas Roach. James T. Grady, J. A. Woodson, Jasper Fishburne, John C. Plercy, Albert Ashley snd Leonard idd. | These boys were then drilled In tho Mechanics’ Pavilion and on the Fourth of July they made their appearance n line. They formed the sixth division, which was headed by the Swiss Guard, which ap- peared for the first time. The boys made a fine appearance and were marshaled L John C. Pelton, with John B. Willlam Joseph A. Woodson, John C. Plercy and John C. Peiton Jr. as aids. A few days after the parade the boys were called together in one of the I trict Court rooms for the purpose of e fecting a permanent organization, Generai Winn stating that it was the purpose & | organize a society of Native Sons, and | while the older persons who were presest were discussing plans of organization tha youngsters got into a row and the perm- anent organization was postponed.

One well-known trapezist who is perform- ing at one of the local theaters. In dis- cussing the matter, sald: “One of the most difficult trials that an equilibrist can un- dertake is to give an exhibition without the aid of an orchestra. Yeu probably have noticed that all the time the per- former is going through his exhibition good, stirring music is being played, and this is of immense assistance to the per- former in more ways than one. “In the first place, gives confidence to an extent which would astound any one who had never before experienced it. Secondly, by always per- forming to one tune the artist is able to take his cues from It, and he keeps time, much as a step dancer does. But, more important than these, is the fact that the music enables the performer to confine his attention to what he is doing by drowning _ any = smail noises among the audience which might distract him. Trifling noises are troublesome, indeed, to any artist who is performing in midair. “If the spectators could only understand this more they would appreciate those feats which are, as a kind of a grand finale, often given without the aid of the orchestra. Most equilibrists nowadays give one such exhibition at the end of their performance. and any one of them | would tell you that the silence of those few minutes when the orchestra has ceased is the greatest nerve strain they have to endura. “It is on this account that more equili- brists—at least all those who perform in | midair—are extremely careful fn ascer- taining whether the orchestra is able to properly render the piece to which they usually perform. This is absolutely neces- | One_false note, one discord or one | Sary. break in the music most probably would result in a misstep and the consequent fall and probable fatal injury of the artist. What is more, if It were possible to ascertain the exact facts in the cases of those artists who have been killed by falling from great heights while perform- ing some aerial feat I am certain it would be found that in fully % per cent of the cases there was some sudden lull or jar in the music which distracted their atten- tion and_caused them to lose their bai- ance.”"—Chicago Tribun: The First Locomotive.
