There was the usual let-up ‘on the tennis court yesterday, following the anpual Fourth of July tournament. A few of the enthusiasts. were out, but there were not as many matches as usual for a Sunday. At the.park two good doubles matches were played by fqur of the experts. R. N,. Whitney and Clarence Griffin proved a strong combination, beating twq of the best teams 2t the park. . They first took on Fred Adams %and Charles. Foley -and won three straight sets. . The winners easily outplayed their oppdnents and won handily. The score was 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. 5 Whitney and Griffin later played Cuérles . Foley and’ Charles! ‘Dunlap. While they took the only set played it was a close ‘one. The score was-7-5. At the California’ Club’ Fletcher El- liott and Drummond MacGavin played three sets in doubles against George Janes and Harold ‘Gabriel and won them all. The two lengthy 'experts were strong in their net work and beat their younger opponents rather easily. The score was 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Elliott and Janes later came together in singles and divided the honors. The Southern California crack played good tennis and the coast champion had all he could do to break even. Elliott has a peculiar style that is not showy, but he plays a winning game. The score was 7-5, 8-10, Ellfott taking the first set and Janes the second. Janes also broke even in a singles match with young Harold Gabriel. The latter lost the first set by a narrow margin, but won the second with the loss of but one game. The young phe- nom can hold his own with the best when he is playing his game. The score: 3-6,.1-6. Charles Kuehn won three sets out of four from Captain Ely of the United States army. The latter is somewhat out of condition, but plays a fairly good game. The score was-7-5, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. 3 T —— COUNCIL CONDEMNS UNION, Oakland Bullding Trades Orgamizatipn Disapproves Wage Advance Asked. OAKLAND, July 8.—Action of the Building Trades Council of Alameda County, condemning the Plumbers’ Union of this city for demanding an in- crease from $5 to §6 a day in wages places the situation in this county on the same footing as that across the bay, where the journeyman plumbers have gone on strike in deflance of the Trades Council. . Plumbers’ Union No. 444 has made its demand to be effective a-week from tomorrow. . Rejection of the' demand by the master plumbers is a certainty, for they made an increase .in wages not long ago. With an unauthorized strike on its hands, the Plumbers’ Union will be compelled to go its own road, while the master plumbers will call upon the Building Trades Council for protection. . . . i The council'adopted a series-of reso- lutions disapproving the . Plumbers’ Union's demand. e | USES A KNIFE. fMwfpajnter hit him a,Hard blow on the chin. At that the saloon-keeper turned and shoved his assailant .into the street.

The personal columns inform us one day that Mrs. Brown-Jones has Just returned from San Diego, and next day we read that she has gone to Brit- ish Columbia. bile is responsible for this constant flitting. It is so much pleasanter to make little short runs from one rescrt to another than it*is to pack a dozen trunks and dress three or four times a day and be bored besides at some fash- ionable hotel or seaside town. Oaklanders have ever been fond of enjoying themselves in the most com- fortable manner, so in the smart tour- ing cars that are met now on every | road may be seen many from the sub- urban city that our burned-out friends across the way are trying to dub East | San Francisco. The R. Burnhams have already made several delightful trips in their auto car, and the Oscar Lunings, stead of going up to their beautiful camp on Russian River as usual, have planned numerous short trips. They have two fine machines now, and Mr. Luning has become quite an expert chauffeur. Miss Marfon Walsh, Mrs. Robert S. Knight, Mrs. A. H. Elliott, Miss Georgie Strong. and Mrs. B. S. Hubbard are among the spciety women who are ex- pert drivers of their own machines, and they have taken many a merry party to the various nearby resorts. . .

In spite of the Fourth of July hollday, the steady :increase in realty trading which has marked the fleld for months continues unabated. It is noted that the trad- ing in properties is not conflned. Every section of the city feels the impetus to a greater or lesser degree, accord- ing to locality. It can safely be said that Oakland's retail business district is on the eve of great expansion. ‘Lhe original limits from Seventh to Fourteenth and Frank- lin to Clay streets are outgrown. This is manifest from inspection of San Pablo and Telegraph avenues and Broadway, where a steady pressure for desirable shop locations is being ex- | erted by prospective tenants. One of the elements in this northward trend | i1s the establishing of the Key Route station at Twenty-second street and Broadway.

One of the merriest yachting parties on the bay was given recently by Ed- ward Hill and his sister, Miss Isabelle Hill. Mr. Hill's yacht, the Emerald, is a very large one and has an unusually romantic history. It has not only made several trans-Pacific trips, but ‘was—before Mr. Hill's ownership, course—a smuggler, and stories of the adventures 'in which it has taken part would fill columns. About thirty guests enjoyed Mr. and Miss Hill's hospitality, among them being Edward McManus, formerly of Oakland, but for .the last ten years a resident of Chicago. He is very clever and an acquisition to any party, a rare familiarity with Shakespeare be- ing one 6f his interesting accomplish- ments. Carl Straum of Alameda “cap- tained” the little crew and some other guests were Miss Ida May Bradley, the Misses Burnett of Berkeley, the Misses Schroeder, Miss Hazel Hackett of San Mateo, Mr. Geine of Chicago, Louis Dempster and Al Kitchener. It is too bad that Miss Enid Yale will not have an opportunity to wear, for the admiration of her Oakland friends, the seemingly unlimited beau- tiful gowns that form part of her trousseau. Her flance, Wilbur Gracey, is in the- American consulate service in China, and when she is married the little California girl will be the first lady in Tsingtau.' There. are dinner gowns of stlk in every color, elaborate reception gowns, street dresses of most approved make and.an endless supply of lingerie frocks and hats; for Tsingtau is a watering place and the foreign fashionables from all over China gather there. . .

During June 3681 doeuments were filed with the County Recorder, the largest number in the history of the office. Much inquiry has been made for fac- tory sites along the East Oakland ba- sin.
