Oontrary to Expectations the Challenger Does Not Go Outside. NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—The fourth trial spin of the Shamrock II in these waters, sailed to-day, was not attended with any | exciting incidents. The yacht did not go outside Sandy Hook as expected, but sall- | ed from Southwest Spit Buoy to Staten | Island twice, covering a distance of about | | thirty miles in four hours. Sir Thomas Lipton w: nor was Designer Watson. The yacht's mainsail was hoisted .at 10:40, and ten minutes later the same club topsail that was set yesterday went up. The wind was light from the southeast at this time, and | when the vacht filled away and headed not on board, for the Southwest Spit Buoy she was | traveling at six-knot gait. As she en- {tered the channel Captain Sycamore | headed her straight for Staten Island. | The steam yacht Erin had meanwhile ta- | ken on board a number of the members | of Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, who had been brought to Sandy Hook by the po- lice patrol boat. At Atlantic Highlands | she picked up some others who had come down on the Sandy Hook boats and she | followed the Shamrock up the channel to the northward. Every passing steamer steamboat speed up the bay. Southwest Spit it was a long stretch close hauled on the port tack. The Sham- rock was able to lay her course easily in the smooth water and she passed the half in one hour and fifteen minutes against a strong tide and the second half in just fifty minutes. This was consid- ered by the experts to be very good time, | congidering the breeze she had. After a bit of maneuyvering Captain Sycamore gybed her and started back over the same course with a somewhat lighter breeze and with exactly the same terday’s spin. This time she only went to Craven Shoal Buoy, about a mile out- | side the Narrows, and then, turning | around, she made another long stretch on the port tack to the Spit Buoy, where she quit for the day | Irish Riflemen Arrive. | day on board the steamer Servia, from Liverpool and Queenstown, were thirteen members of the Irish Rifle League, which will compete with the All-American team | at Seagirt, N.

The affair is to be held in Odd Fellows’ Hall on Friday evening next. The programme prepared for the oc- casion is an excellent one. Among those who will take part are D. C. Sheerin, the clever character comedian. Tom Mahoney, o | % a popular fun maker, will pass out the latest. He has a fine voice and has few superiors when it comes to fingering a banjo. William J. O'Brien, the popular tenor, will render some late songs. Dave Torres and Professor Graeber will furnish a banjo duet and Edward Landers will play a cornet solo. A fitting finish to this popular. pro- gramme will be the reproduction of the latest version of that roaring burlesque, “Quo Vadis Upside Down,” entirely re- vised and rewritten by Lieutenant James McCormick. Mr. Gilson plays Ursus and has scored a decided hit in the part. “T George Sha who weighs 250 pounds, will be the fair Lydgia.

Case, aged 40, teamster. T. F. Rafferty, aged 22, a teamster, was ar- rested about the same time at the corner of Fourth and Harrison streets on the same charge. As the officers detailed on Sixth street were returning homeward in the direction of Market street, they had another ad- venture which for a few moments threat- ened to assume serious proportions. An Armenian peddler named George Alexar had a small push cart laden with fruit e away minutes the crowd had | Market streets. Some of .the boys who had followed the policemen up the street, | expecting more trouble, began stealing the man’s fruit. He made a great outcry and a crowd quickly gatheres Tre officers started °to drive the crowd off, but were met with a volley of stones. One of these struck Officer W..J. Cav- anaugh in the back, and two persons who saw the stone thrown and the of- ficer struck pointed out Willilam Irvine, a lad 16 years old living at 522 Steven- son street, as the offender. He was ar- rested and charged with battery on an officer. He claims 1o have been an in- nocent onlooker. pear the southwest corner of Sixth and | | Policeman D. J. Driscoll was treated at the Recelving Hospital about 7 o'clock for a badly sprained thumb. He was one of the officers stationed at the corner of Sixth and Harrison streets during the heat of the melees, and in endeavoring to force back the crowd struck his thumb. He continued on duty until he was relleved with the rest of the squad. Police Officer Patrick Sullivan, while beating back the mob, was struck on the left arm by a cobblestone hurled by one of the strikers, He was forced to go to a doctor’s office, where the injured mem- ber was dressed. To avold another attack by strikers on non-union teamsters, Captain Wittman intends to place an extra guard of police in the vicinity of last night's trouble, “The throwing of cobblestones must Captain Wittman remarked last . “I do not object to the strikers taking fair means to convert the non- union teamsters, but I will do everything in my power to stop the practice of using cobblestones to intimidate men who are not affiliated with the unions.

ST R B VIOLENCE IN AFFAIRS JINCIDENT TO .STRIKE Many People Are Taken to the Emer- gency Hospital to Receive Sur- gical Treatment. David Cunningham, a union sailor, was arrested last night on Davis street by Of- ficers McGreevy and Campion and charged with battery. Cunningham, who' as- saulted A. P. Heise of 2314 Clay street, was later released on bail. Frank Sweb, residing at 372 Main street, was treated at the Harbor Hospital for a lacerated wound of the scalp. Sweb, who says he is a union man, claims that the injury was inflicted by a policeman. enne Perters, mate of the ship Erata, had three scalp wounds sewed up at the Harbor Hospital last night. He says he was returning to his ship, which "is anchored off Powell street, and that when near the corner of Battery and Lombard streets he was attacked. Wood Mansee, a striker, got into. an altercation with two non-union men yes- terday morning at Meiggs wharf and re- celved injuries that necessitated a trip to the Harbor Hospital. W. Willlams ot 17 Broadway, em- loyed as a non-union stevedore on the acific Mail dock, was attacked by a gang of union pickets last night as he was leav- ing his work. He was badly beaten about the head and face and a number of stitches were taken in his nose at the Central Emergency Hospital. John Nee and James Callan were ar- rested yesterday afternoon for an attack upon John Selman, a non-union laborer, and Kate McCormick was arrested for abusive language directed at Selman and the policemen who made the arrekts. Gus Lindstrom, a sailor, was attacked by a gang of strikers on East street last evening and brutally beaten. Lindstrom was about to board the Tropic Bird when his assailants seized him and forced him to accomvany them to a place on Steuart street, near Misslon. They then ques- tioned him, and not being satisfied with his answers, beat him. A short time afterward Lindstrom went to the police headquarters and was given a place to slpeY‘ in_the City Prison. John Meaney and William Loutitt, strik- ing firemen, attacked John Estes and Charles White, non-union men, at Third and Howard streets last evening, severe- ly bruising them. During the mixup Lieu- tenant Martin and a posse of officers ap- peared on the scene and placed the two strikers under arrest, but not until they had vigorcusly used their clubs. After their wounas were dressed in the Receiv- ing Hospital Loutitt and Meaney were locked up on charges of disturbing the peace and battery. ADDITIONS TG FORCES OF WORKING MACHINISTS Both Union Iron Works and Risdon Iron Works Gain Accessions During the Day. The working force at the Union Iron Works was ,materially increased by the return of fifteen old employes yesterday. Several of these are union members, ac- cording to the employers, while the others are men who went out in May with the machinists. It is reported that six ma- chinists are among the number of men Wwho returned. Henry T. Scott sald that he had no means of knowing how many of those Who joined the works are union employes. He was told_that all of them were old | emploves and as a large percentage of the men were machinists he suppcsec they were strikers, The force of non-union hands at the Risdon Iron Works was increased by the arrival of ~twenty machinists from the East. They were brought over from Point Richmond in a gasoline launch and taken direct to the works, where they were glven quarters in the bunkhouse erected for the convenience of the employes. The trip was made in the early hours of the | morning and was accomplished without the knowledge of the union pickets. A number of the men brought their families with them. ——— POLICE OFFICERS GIVEN EIGHT-HOUR WATCHES Change in Hours Places Business Part of the City Under Bet- ter Protection. Orders were {ssued by Chief of Pclice Sullivan yesterday discontinuing the watch from 5 p. m. to 1 a. m. that has been kept since the commencement of the strike. In the future the men will report for duty at 4 p. m. and report off at 12 m,, when they will be relieved by a watch that will remain on duty until' 8 a. m. To carry out this plan successfuily will require a’ reduction of the force detailed for duty with teams and this will be done as soon as the condition of the strike warrants. By means of the new arrange- ment of watches the entire business por- tion of the city will be under police pro- U expected s expected that by the time the labor difficulty is settled the eight-hour watch system so much desired by the officers and officlals of the Police Departmant will be uniformly in force. —_— Japanese Run Over by Car. A. Masuraka, a Japanese cook, jumped in front of a Haight-street car on Mar- ket street, near Sixth, yesterday, to es- cape being run over by a bicycle rider, and was knocked down and run over bg the car. The iron wheels badly mangles his left leg. He was treated at the Cen- tral Emergency Hospital. NATHAN WALTER - DIES A SUICIDE Former San Franciscan Kills Himself in Nome. e Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Aug. 28.—The body of Nathan Walter, who committed suicide in Nome, Wtas brt;‘ught down on the steamship Sen- ator, which arrived this morning. Walter was well known in Seattle, having repre- sented Lilienthal & Co. of San Francisco here for many vears, buying hops. His body is held awaiting advices from his parents in San Francisco. Nathan Walter was well know; business men in San Francisco e was formerly connected with the commission branch of the Crown Distilleries Com- pany, conducted by Lilienthal & Co. For the last two vears h ness for. himself in the north, to which ection he has made two trips. The news of his death was recelved by his former business associates last even- ing and they were greatly shocked The blow came particularly hard to his aged | and widowed mother. Walter was 38 years old and a bachelor. He was the only brother of Santford Walter, vice president of George Morrow Co. None of his friends or former assoclates could give a reason for his suicide. The last time he was in this. city was about two years ago. Last sea- son he came down from the north on the last steamer, as he had done the pre- ceding season, but he stopped at Seattle and returned to Nome without visiting San Francisco, He was in good health. If he met financial troubles that fact is not admitted by his friends. Seemingly he had much to'live for.

Imp. Crighton, St. Carlo and Other Noted 'Sires Will Be Represented. ARSECY A Among' the many thoroughbfed year- ling, sales to be held next month by . the Fasig-Tipton Company at Madison Square Garden, New York, September 10, few are attracting more attention than the Napa Stock Farm consignment, the property of A. B. Spreckels of California. The young- sters from this establishmept were shipped over the mountains last year for the first time and after careful inspection by the critical Easterners brought most { encouraging prices the night of the sale. On Geraldyn, a daughter of the dead Ger- aldine, one of the batch disposed of, the talenteqd little actress, Edna Wallace, re- cently executed a well planned coup at Saratoga, the filly scoring from a fair field at long odds. Before their departure experts pro- nounced this year's a particularly fine crop, combining action, bone and sub- stance in their make-up. Eleven are by the Australlan sire Crighton, four by Ravelston, seven by imp. The Judge, six by Puryear D, while St. Carlo, Trappean, Eolo and General Miles are also lightly represented. Beyond question with his limited opportunity jmp. Crighton can be credited a success n the stud. A splen- did individual himself and possessed of a marvelous turn of speed, Canace, one of his daughters, was a sensational per- former both East and West and but for his. untimely end Catulus would have added still further to this horse’s luster. Puryear D, a winner over all sorts and conditions.of tracks, is also beginning to attract attention through the speed shown by Pompino and Bamboulia. The get of his first season won $424% in stakes and purses. Ravelston, a young horse bred at the Palo Alto Stock Farm, was wonder- fully fast while raced and his get seem | to fnherit the paternal parent’s speed. Flambeau, the sire of Ravelston, also got the great Crescendo. His many noted sons and daughters make it needless to dilate on the merits of St. Carlo. Trap- ean is a young horse bred at the Bitter oot Farm, Montana, and as yet has had no opportunity to make a reputation. Horsemen recognize the fact that at best purchasing yearlings is a lottery, but ood judges fancied the chestnut filly by Fmp. Crighton-Folly, predicting she will bring a neat sum. A bay filly by imp. | Crighton-Lista Hock {s_another_ catchy looker. A brown colt by imp. Crighton from Lady Cleveland II, dam of Georgies and Catulus, possesses great bone and substance and cannot help but evoke | some spirited bidding. It would not do to | pass by the chestnut colt by imp. Crigh- | ton, from Sweet Peggy, without predict- | ing'big things for him. He is racy look- | ing and bred as he is ought to bring a big | price. In fact each and all of them look a | credit to the State where they were bred. | Suffice to say even at this early stage | they wear a “ready money” air and reflect | credit on Superintendent George Berry.

Mec- Creely’s mare, Minnle Wilkes, in a race against her own record lowered her time from 2:23% to 2:17%. The running races were not good. Long delays at the post marred the sport.
