Many Clever Athletes Give Evidence
Of Skill and Training in
Manly Games.
The second annual gymnasium ex
hibition of the Young Men's Christian
Association waa held on Saturday even
ing in the presence of a large num
ber of friend of the institution. The
galleries in the gymnasium proper and
the observation room were filled with
enthusiastic people who cheered the
athletes on in their efforts. The ap
pearance and performances of the
young people were surprises to many
people, and much credit is due to A. J.
Coats, the gymnasium director, for his
interesting labors.
Since his connection with the local
Y. M. C. A. the physical director has
been able to bring under his skilful
training the largest classes, and the
young men taking part in the exhibi
tion were seemingly in the pink of
condition.
The program was opened by a march
of the athletts, who ranged from young
men of experience with physical ap
paratus down to small boys just begin
ning their gymnasium work. The
inarch was solely for the purpose of dis
playing proper carriage of the body and
limbs, free from artificial restraint.
In their neat fitting suits they presented
a splendid appearance.
In the dumb tWl drill, the aim was
to display grace and skill in bringing
the principal muscles into play to bring
about a general 6ymmetrical develop
ment. The clock-like precision of the
drill brought forth gpnerous applause
from the audience.
"Interest was largely centered on the
real hard work of the entertainment
which consisted of Individual and class
work on the parallel bars, horizontal
bar, spring board jumping, and the
horse. The leaders In the classes were
splendid examples of careful training.
Frank O. Atherton's popularity as a
club swinger has not diminished, and
he proved himself an expert and a gen
eral favorite, especially among the
youngsters who regarded him with awe.
Mr. Coats also went through the in
tracieS of the movements with a skill
that was surprising. The blind-fold
boxing match was a source of laughter
to tho snpcfafnra and tn tht contestants
as well. The fencing drill gave promise
of much good work with the foils in the
future, and although the blades have
been In use for less than a month, their
wielders showed spienma wrist move
ment.

Ing wa3 the human pyramid, formed of
three tiers of young men. The forma
tion of the seemingly difficult pyramid
was easily accomplished, but when the
entire group suddenly stretched them
selves out and came down in a heap,
several of the ladies present screamed,
knowing nothing of the trick in falling
which saves the performers from the
slightest injury.
Just as the entertainment was draw
ing to a close the electric lights went
out and the gymnasium was left In
darkness for sometime.

WAR ON LEAN-TOS.
Board of Health Will Not Permit of
Their Erection.
Dr. Pratt has begun war on the Chi
nese who are erecting lean-tos. This
is a violation of the new building regu
lations, which provide that a clear air
space of ten feet between buildings
shall be maintained. The lean-to was
erected In rear of a store on Smith
street, used as a kitchen, and of the
character of the numberless bhack of
a similar character so common ia old
Chinatown. The main point at issue
at the trial was whether the structure
was a building in the true sense of the
word, or merely an addition to another
building.
The defense contended that no build
ing bad been erected but merely strips
of corrugated iron had been extended
from a rear fence to the building tokeep
the sun off the kitchen utensils. Judge
Wilcox found the defendant guilty of
the charge, however, and fined him $10.
An appeal will be taken to the Circuit
Court, in order to get a full Interpreta
tion as to what constitutes a building.
We wish to inform oar patron that
we will not be deterred from pushing
forward as rapidly aa possible the con
tructioQ of our electric railway and
other improvement upon Pacific
Heights by reason of a auit recently
begun against former own era.
The development and aale of Pacific
Heights lota will go on unreatralned,
and parties seeking choice residence
locations will find this a perfect prop
erty with an absolutely perfect title.
