Then it was opened this morning at 9 o'clock, when the local Elks made their visit to the grounds.

The Alameda and Oakland tongs of White Highbinders began th2 evening ceremonies. The officlal opening was quite ceremo- nious and a little delayed. Several hun- ed members of Oakland Lodge of Elks gathered on the big platform behind the | High School, ruler of the lodge, at the head. Senator Lukens opened the fair as the sessions of | the lodge are opened, with full ceremonial and a statement of the cardinal princi ples of the order—charity, justice, broth- erly love and fidelity.

In | this particular channel borings have been made which show that the finding of rock is decidedly improbable. Two great twin- screw hulks of steel, built much like long rectangular boxes, with vertical stack, foremast and mainmast, steam daily into the channel’s course, and the big suction tubes are lowered and are sunk about ten feet into the sand and mud of the bot- tom. The pump is charged, and the bot- tom of the bay begins to run into about a dozen hoppers, which extend for 125 feet through the center of the dredge. Meanwhile the boat moves forward at a rate of about twenty-five feet a minute, so that new material can be fed tonstantly in the hoppers by the suctign. When the hoppers. are entirely filled the tube is drawn up, the pump is stopped and the re Thrown Open to the and Bells Sound Rejoicing, and All the Gayeties of the Fete Are On---Visitors Are Extended a Hearty Welcome by Mayor Barstow In the afternoon the | Mayor Bar- | bant.l, played “The Star-Spangled Ban- ner.

The United States export trade in horses has been growing in bulk and in value at a rate that is as astonishing as it is grat- ifying. In 1891 the exports of horses wers worth about $1,000,000. In 1901 they were worth about $9,000,000. Great Britain has been our best customer. During the pe- riod from 1895 to 1901 that country import- ed American horses to the value of $35,- 000,000. These figures do not include the trade in mules. From September in 1899 to December in 1901 the mules sent to Great Britain from this country were worth, or at least cost, $6,000,00. The South African war, of course, has increased the demand for both horses and mules, but it should inate with the South African war. antedated that war by several years. It was growing steadily when the war be- gan. It will continue after the war is ended. Great Britain, however, while our best customer, is not our only one. There are other countries where American herses are needed. The distribution of the export horses in 1901 is interesting. South Africa took 37,465; Great Britain, 22,608; Canada, 8438; Cuba, 4436; China, 2317; the Philippines, 1578; Japan, 153; British Co- lumbla, 795, and the British West Indies, -+ Flag of the Nation Unfurls Itself Before Cheer- ing Throng During Formal Ceremony and the Band Plays ‘‘Star-Spangled Banner’’ faces into the redwood boards.

Oakland Is Full of Visitors Attracted by the Carnival. OAKLAND, June 14.—If there was ever any doubt of the success of the Elks’ Street Fair and Carnival it was removed to-day. With the booths and exhibits still unfinished, and only a portion of the amusements in operation, the grounds were crowded all afternoon, and between 11 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock in the evening 2200 paid admissions were registered. It was hardly expected that there would be much of a crowd during the day owing to the un- finished condition of the grounds, and the big attendance was expe ted to begin this evening and on Mon- day. When it was discovered that the at- tendance began so early, it became evi- dent that it would be all that could be asked for the coming week. San Francisco is being drawn upon largely. The city of Oakland is fyll of strangers, showing that many have come from across the bay, and from the in- terior of Alameda, Contra Costa and San- ta Clara countles. There was a slight accident at the grounds to-day, which caused the im- mediate establishment of an -emergency hospital. Mrs. H. H. Hale fell from one of the carriages of the Ferris Wheel. She was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that she was more frightened than hurt. he Elks then appointed a committee, consisting of Dr. H. B. Mehrmann, F. J. Lea and F. W. Leavitt, to establish an emergency hospital. A space was se- cured next to the Fablola Hospital booth, and two cots were erected. Fabiola Hos- pital will supply two trained nurses and 199. It is evident that the horse market is about as wide as the world. It is also a market that is wide in another respect— it demands horses of all kinds. The American exports have included trotters, pacers, runners, draught horses, road- sters and stallions for breeding. The tri- umph of the American trotting horse is particularly noticeable. Almost all Euro- pean countries have recognized the value of the American racer and likewise of the American trainer. Good specimens of both have gone to Germany, Russia, Aus- tria, England and France. The breed of horses in those countries will be perma- nently improved. In all this there is a certain amount of glory and a great deal of mone; The United States has plenty of f)ral le on which to grow horses, and as long as foreign nations want horses is ready to supply them. —_—————— Fewer Postoffices Needed. During the last fiscal year there were 3037 postoffices discontinued. As has been the case in recent years, many offices were discontinued by reason of the rapid- ly increasing growth of the rural free de- livery service, which covers the same territory far better and more satisfactor- {ly, and 1226 postoffices were discontinued last year for that reason. The establish- ment of rural free delivery routes also resulted in the discotinuance of star route service costing $131,710 42.—Exchange.

WOMEN’S WORK IN EVIDENCE. Delicate Refreshments Are Served by Different Organizations. OAKLAND, June 14.—The Quaker girls in the colonial kitchen did a thriving busi- ness to-day in coffee and sandwiches. The waitresses all wore gray gowns with the characteristic cap, apron and neck- erchief of spotless white. Mrs. A. L. Wolfe presided and was assisted by Mrs. C. Dowrey, Mrs. E. L.

Monday .will be “‘Southern day” and real old-fashioned fried chicken will be the special dainty offered. Mrs. T. C. Judkins will be chair- man of the day. When the fair closed this evening the Fabiola ladles’ stock of doughnuts and paper hats was completely sold out. At the quaint “Squirrel Inn” where the members of the New Century Club et as hostesses, a large crowd enjoyed hot biscuit and luscious coffee. B O S ] HAS DOLL THAT PENN BROUGHT FROM ENGLAND Philadelphia Miss Prides Herself cn Having Rarest Prize in the Country. “In 1699, when William Penn safled from England in the good ship Canterbury for his second visit to his American colony,” writes Mary Townsend Kirk in the Jan- uary Ladies’ Home Journal, “he brought with him an English doll, of which, so far, scant notice has been taken, although it is believed to be to-day the sole surviv- ing representative of that voyage across the Atlantic. This doll, selected by Wil- llam Penn's daughter Letitia, was sent by her to a little Miss Rankin of Philadel- phia, and, after two hundred eventful years, still retains, in a marked degree, much of the brightness and beauty o those early days when she was the pet of one little Quakeress after another. Her dress, not having - changed with chaanging fashions, Is the court dress of that period asd is made of striped and delicately tintéd brocade and velvet: the skirt 1s very full and is distended over an enorinous hoop. She is twenty inches in height and her figure is long waisted and slender, as are the pictures of court beauties in those days. The full basque spreading out from the belt over the skirt enhances the slender effect. The hair is rolled away from the face much in the fashion of to-day. She now lives in Montgomery County, Md. the | GARDEN PARTY FOR CHARITY Mrs. Laura Albrecht Re- ceives at Her Home in Fruitvale. King’s Daughters’ Home and Chinese Girls’ Mission Are Benefited. A B RES S Oakland Office San Francisco Call 1118 Broadway, June 14. The garden party at Mrs. Laura Al- brecht’s in Fruitvale this afternoon was a most delightful affair and well deserved the excellent patronage it received. It was given for the benefit of the King's Daughters’ Home for Incurables in Oak- land and the Presbyterian Chinese Girls” Rescue Home in San Francisco. Among the visitors to-day were a large number of people from across the bay. Great Chinese lanterns and umbrellas lent color’and picturesqueness to the gar- den scene and the large cherry trees heav- ily laden with fruit added to the rural effect. Under a gorgeous umbreila Mrs. A. J. Irwin and Miss Laura McKnight sold baskets of luscious cherries. In the candy tent, which was bright with pink blossoms, pretty girls in pink and white were in attendance. A piano had been placed on the portico in front of the house and during the af- ternoon an unusually interesting and unique programme was given. A number of Chinese children from the home in San Francisco gave some musical selections that were much enjoyed. The star per- formers were two little tots, each aged four years, who in response to the popu= lar demand sang a number of Ameri= can songs, among them being “Suanee River,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” and “The Old Oaken Bucket.” The singing of “The Rosary” by Suey Leen, a young Chinese girl with a beautiful meazo-so~ prano, was also a popular feature of the programme. Choy Duck, a musical artist, played all the popular American airs on three or four different Chinese instruments, There was also a chorus of Chinese volces. Professor Charles F. Graeber and his mandolin and guitar club from San Francisco gave several pleasing selec- tions, Willlam Jackson played the banjo’ and Dr. Maude Noble was heard in two delightful trombone solos, “Out on the Deep,” and “Asleep in the Deep.” One of the most artistic numbers on.the programme was the singing of Miss Alyce Gates, the well-known soprano from San Francisco. Her numbers were, (a) “A Madrigal” by Harris, and (b) “If Thou Should’st Say” by Chaminade. At 6 o'clock a supper was served on the lawn. Among those who helped to make the day a success were Mrs. Laura Albrech Mr. Mouser, Mr. Palmer, W. P. Brewer, Miss Belle Garrette, .urs. Wilbur Walker, chairman of the supper committee; Mrs. Mary M.

WIFE REFUSES 10 GHOP WOOD E. J. Evans’ Spouse Fails to Wield Hatchet and Row Ensues. ALAMEDA, June 14.—Because she would not get up this morning early, sphit the kindling and start the breakfast fire, Mrs. 2farguerite Evans claims her hus- band, E. J. Evans, beat her with his fists. She has sworn to a complaint. charging him_with battery and a warrant is out for his arrest. Mrs. Evans explained to Justice kenry T. Morris that the reason she refused to rise-and carry out the woodchopping or- ders of the boss of the house, who was resting in bed, was due to the fact that she did not feel in a mood to swing the family hatchet. She stated that when she asked her husband to excuse her from starting the fire for once he flew into a pagsion, slapped her face and boxed her ea As evidences of the encounter Mrs. Evans exhibited several bruises, which she asserted were inflicted by her anti- kindling splitting husband. Evans is a plasterer. The couple have three children. Mrs. Evans says she has put up with considerable abuse from Evans, but that patience ceased to be a virtue when he whipped her for not chop- ping wood when she was unable to do so. See H.
