Frost had been instrumental, it is charged, in the | detention of the bride after locating her on behalf of her father, Charles W. | Bamber. | Frost was released in bonds of $1000. His arrest followed closely upon that of his client, Bamber, who was taken into custody vesterday on complaint of Attorney F. J. Russell. The lawyer who represents Mrs. Desoza asked a dis- missal of the charge of disturbing the peace he had lodged against his client’s parent and the request was granted by Police Judge Smith this merning. Mrs. Desoza appears willing to re- main with her husband despite all of her father's efforts to win her away. | The halo of a legacy from a grand- mother glitters about the girl, who has not yet reached her majority. Bamber’s fight is said to be based on the averment that Attorney Russell holds a contract with tne girl concern- ing her interests in the prospective leg- acy, though the father insists she is not of legal age and could not sign a binding contra UNIVERSITY EVENTS A.

The members of the two commercial bodles are at work collecting flowers, a great many of which will be necessary for the decoratlon of the float. More than one hundred entries have been received for the parade, and the members of the committee are confl- dent that the total will reach 250 by Monday. Among the entries received to-day were a four-horse tally-ho by Henry A. Butters, and a phaeton and pair, a single-horse carriage and a sad- dle horse by Charles Butters.

The entries of Charles Butters are Velocity II1, single harness, a pair of imported English colts driven to a Stanhope phaeton, and Seyyid, an im- ported Arabian stallion, ridden under saddle. All these horses are from Mr. Butters’ stable at Claremont. Another feature.of the parade will be the entry of a pair horse carriage by John Nicholl, who in 1856 bought the land on which Point Richmond now stands and several years ago sold to the Santa Fe Company its present holdings in that town.

EVENTS IN SOCIETY By Zoe Green Radecliffe. OAKLAND, May 12—The little Thursday Dancing Club, which was organized early this season by Mrs. Robert Duncan, gave its closing varty this afterncon, and the fifty or more children who were present will have something to talk about and remember for many a day. From 4 to 7 o'clock Maple Hall resounded with the laughter of the merry band, and the mothers who looked on scemed to enjoy the occasion fully as much as the children. The early part of the afternocon was devoted to a ceville programme, the first haif of which was given by several of the club mem- ber< and th= second half by professionals from Peck's Theater. These last _were secured through the generosity of Mr. Ghirardelli, and included Morris Jones, Miriam Mar, Douglas and Fletcher and Mr. and Mrs. Beverly. The children enjoyed the “‘coon songs’ and dancing immensely. Phyllis” Capwell gave the opening number on the children’s half of the programme and made a “hit” in her very first song, ‘'Ken- tucky Babe.” Her “babe” was a tiny black purpy. Her next song was ‘Bedelia” and, with jockey cap and whip, she executed a sort of Irish-coon jig-step that was most amusing. One of the prettiest features of the after- toon was the fairy dance by little Flosie Duncan. Light as a thistle on her small slippered feet and clad in a fluffy white lace frock, she truly resembled a dainiy inhabitant of fairyland. The Highland fling by Bobbie Duncan and Jeanneite Hougland and_another dance by Carmen Ghirardelli and Flosie Duncan were pleasing numbers. The programme cl with a song and dance—""My Alabama Coon’'— by Phyllis Capwell, accompanied by fifteen or twenty children swaying to the music and waving red lanterns, The cffect was very retty. P Goneral ‘dancing and a deliclons supper oc- cupied the remaining hour. The long table was beautitully decorated in pink and green, and borbons and favors were to be found at’ each lace. » P'Mrs, Duncan_wi chaperon and_hostess to-day by Mrs. Capwell and Mrs.' Joseph Ghirardelli. ‘Among the children who enjoyed this unique ana delightful affair were: Claire and Helene Bond, Flosle and Bobbie Duncan, Carmen, Juanita and Elva Ghirardellf; Hope Matthews, Ruth Burchard, _Bertha Galloway, Marion Clark, Carlton Wines, Willie West, Phyllis and Dorothy Capwell, Etta Schrock, Jeannette Hoagland, Ruth Vincent, Rosalie Ogden, Vera and Alfreéd von der Ropp, Dottie Egbert, Bes- sle Broadwell, Ruth Burchard, Adele Scott, Margery Cogswell, Lorna Willlamson, Siebert Capwell, Nora Martin, Eleanor Clark, Edith Pelton, = Bernice Coliins, _Irma Kendrick, Thomas Hogan and Carol Fish. . sssisted in the role of e ‘ The ladles of St. Francis de Sales Church are planning a whist tournament fdr next Wednesday evening in the hall adjoining the church.
