Mrs. Fine is expected during June, and she will make Oakland or San Francisco her home. It is three years since the many friends of the petite singer have had the pleasure of listening to her volce—a voice which the critics of Oakland and San Francisco said was excellent, and which has proved 1o be more than true by her three years’ study in the musical centers of this coun- try and Europe. She was at that time a member of the choir of the First Metho- dist Church, and had been heard in ama- teur concerts on both sides of the bay. Then she went Bast to study, and now her voice has been pronounced far above the average in tone and quality, and she returns to her own home with many com- ph]n;ems from the best and most severe of | critics. —_— e To Hold Memorial Exercises.

HANFORD, May 4.—Hanford will have the honor of entertaining the old veterans of California and Nevada this week. Their thirty-fifth annual encampment will con- vene in this city on May 8 and continues until the 10th, Great preparations have | been made to give the old soldiers a rousing time. As there will be about 1200 visitors it will tax the capacity of the hotels and lodging-houses, but the com- mittees having the affair 'in charge an- nounce that they have engaged ample ac- modations for all who will attend. o-morrow the San Joaquin Valley Vet- erans' Association will assemble for a session. of two days. An open air concert will be given in the evening in honor of tke local veterans. The main body of the veterans is expected on Tuesday, and on Tuesday night a public entertainment in their honor will be given in the opera- house.

On May 9 the parade of the Nevada and Californfa Grand Army posts will take place. The old veterans will be escorted by companies of the Sixth Regiment, Na- tional Guard of California. In the evening a reception will be tendered the visitors by the Woman’s Relief Corps and Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. Ths encampment will end on Saturday, and that night the boys in blue will be ban- queted in Armory Hall. Many prominent men are expected to be present during the encampment.

NAPA, May 4—Napa has three young men who have for some time past been studying wireless telegraphy with marked | success. Loy Perry and Paul Chapman, | two students at the Napa High School, | assisted by Professor L. T. Merwin, have succeeded In putting the new system of | communication into actual practice. Their experimenting has been done in the phys- ics and chemistry laboratories at the high school. Their first attempts resulted in the transmission of messages or signals but a foot or so. Later they were able to extend the distance to a yard, and now they can send telegraphic communication from one laboratory to the other through | two walls, a distance of thirty feet. In speaking of their demonstration of wire- less telegraphy Professor Merwin said: “Our system is of course in a_crude way, similar to that of Marconi. We use a static machine and condensers as trans- mitters, and our coherer was made in the ‘lab.” The coherer is in series, with an ordinary telegraph sounder, which acts as a relay for the decoherér—a common | electric bell.” Greater and more extensive experiments will be made by these three disciples of | Marconi.

ELKS FAIR WILL BE A SUCCESS Special Days Given to Interior Towns of the County. Much Space Has Already Been Sold and Handsome Ex- hibits Are to Be Made. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 4. The Elks’ Street Fair and Carnival is rapidly taking shape. - The committees have been meeting continually during the week and are able to ‘announce some of the plans for the event. Space is being rapidly disposed of to those who will make exhibits, and the success of the event 18 not longer a matter of question. The fair will run but eight days, ana the difficulty now is to supply special days enough to those who wish to control an afternoop or an evening. The Woodmen of the World have asked for the evening of Thursday, June 19, and this has been awarded them. On the evening of that day the Woodmen of the World of the entire county will have a grand initia- tion at the Macdonough Theater. The drill teams from every camp in the county will be present, and In the evening, be- fore the exercises at the theater, there will be a competitive drill for prizes at the fair grounds. After this is over the work of the order will be given at the theater, The grounds will be turned over to the Woodmen on that evening, a large drill platform will be erected and search- i lights and colored lights will be used to increase the effect. This is the only exact date that has been set, but there will be a day set aside ld)al towns of the county, except Oakland. There will be an afternoon each for Alameda, Berkeley, Haywards, San Leandro and possibly the Livermore Valley. The citizens outside of the order of Eylks will be asked to take charge of the programme on those days, and the Elks will secure special railroad facilities and railroad fares on those days for the residents who wish to attend. It 1s expected that the interior towns of Alameda County will make industrial exhibits as -well as giving a programme for a day. This is regarded as a very advantageous opportunity for a display and a distribution of literature, for many thougands of visitors are expected from San Francisco and all over the State. In addition to the days devoted to the different towns there will be afternoons or evenings given over to socjeties—the Native Sons, Odd Fellows, Irish®societies The League of the Cross Cadets will probably give a drill, and many features are being added every day. An honorary press committee was ap- pointed by the executive committee last evening as follows: Oakland—W. E. Dargle, G. B. Daniels, John F. Conners, A. A.

The final rounds of the class singles tennis tournament brought out by far the best matches ever seen on the park courts. In the first class Will Allen again carried off the honors, while in the second Kenneth Marr proved the strongest player. The semi-final match between Harry Routh and Will Geary was won by the former rather easily. This was somewhat as a surprise, as the loser played him very close a week ago. The score,. in Routh’s favor, was 6—3, 6—0. In the finals it took four sets to settle the question of supremacy between Allen and Routh. Al- len, who is slighter and much more ac- tive than his opponent, had the better staying powers, which enabled him to win out in a long match. The first three sets were exceedingly close, but after this Routh was distressed, and the remaining set went to Allen easily. The complete score was 6—4, 10—8, 3—6, . In the second class the matches were even closer than in the first. Ed Finnigan after having the final match practically won allowed his opponent to puil up from 5—1 in the last set and nose him out. His opponent in this match was Kenneth Marr, who gave a great exhibition of grit end proved that a tennis match is never won until the last point has been played. In the third round of this class Kenneth Marr and C. Griffin furnished one of the best matches of the day. The first set went to Marr easily, 6—2. In the second set Griffin barely won out, 8—6, and was so tired that his opponent took the next, 6—-0. Campbell beat Stapff, 6—4, 6—2. Ed Finnigan beat James, 6—2, 6—4. J. F. Brady beat Gould Reading, 6—2, 6—0. In the semi-finals both matches were rather short, the victor in éach winning Marr beat Campbell, 6—4, 6—2, and Finnigan beat Brady, 6—3, 6—4. The final match, between Marr and Finnigan, was highly exciting, and the outcome was in doubt until the end. The score, in favor of Marr, was 6—3, 5—17, 7—5. The winners, Allen and Marr, will hold the silver challenge cups for one month, when they will again be played for. Each cup must be won three times by one man before it goes into his possession perma- nently. ° On the California Club courts some in- teresting matches were: played, the best ot which was the doubles in which Frank Mitchell and Grant Smith and Harold Crowell and Willlam Colller figured. The former proved too strong for their op- ponents and won two sets out of three. The score, in favor of Mitchell and Smith, was 3—6, 6—4, 4—1. Worthington and Noble beat Bull and Dally, 7—5, 8—6, 6—3; Kuehn and Stauf beat Cerf and MacKenzie, 6—3; Beal and MacKenzie beat Cerf and Kuehn, 6—4. In singles Merle Johnson beat Collier two sets out of three. The score was 6—2, 2§, Crowell also took two out >f three from his partner. Other matches in singles resulted as follows: Sidney Salis- bury beat Frank Stringham, 5—7, 8-, 6—4; Grant Smith and Frank Mitchell tied, 6—1, 2—6; L. E. Wood beat Bert Goleher, 4—1, and tied W. S.

MILITARY DAY AT CALIFORNIA Maneuvers of the Cadets Wiil Be Held To-day on Campus. Sham Battle and “Retreat” ‘Will Follow Inspection and End Drill BERKELEY, May 4.—All day Monday will be occupied at the University of Cal- ifornia with the final maneuvers of the cadets. Reglmental inspection, competi- tive company drill and a sham battle are among the.events of the annual military fleld day. The cadets will form on the campus at 10 a. m. and regimental inspection will be held, with Lieutenant Colonel John L. Chamberlain, U. S. A., as inspector. Pre- liminary competitive company drill will take place, and then the regiment . will disband until 1:45 p. m. The afternoon exercises will open with regimental dress parade and review. Final company drill will be held, and ths company which goes through its maneu- vers the best will be declared the ‘ban- ner’ company and given the honmor of carrying the colors for the next year. At the close of battalion drill the regiment will march to the Hillegass tract, where the sham battle will take place. The ex- ercises will be closed by the cadets as- sembling around the flagstaff, where re- treat will be sounded and the flag lowered Wwith proper ceremony. The plan of the sham battle is as fol- lows: The defense occuples a sheltered position on the west of the fleld and is attacked by a de- tail of three companies {from the enemy on the east. A counter charge on the part of the de- fense repulses the atracking party.
