SEVERAL GOOD RECORDS MADE Ihe Columbia Club Has Put Musket Scores Up Many Notches. J. E. Gorman Lowered the Best Ten-Shot Pistol Mark of the Year. Iscellent Work Done by German Sharpshooters on the Shell Mound Range. The attendance of riflemen at the Shell I Mound rifle range yesierday was large and the sport was decidedly interesting. There was but little wind, and late in ihe afternoon the light was excellent. The principal feature of the day was the re markable scries of scores made by sev eral of the members of the Columbia P.s tol and Rifle Club with the musket. This shooting was en the Glindemann ten-shot re-entry medal, Cieedmoor count, on the Columbia target, best ten .cores to win the principal prize. In this contest El Hovey is in the lead with a erand total of 476 points out of a possible 500. Yester day he improved his total by 2 points, making a 49. His ring count was sb, the b.st made this year. C. F. vYalthani also made a great spurt on the same match, for he ran un a 49 Creedmoor or U. ring count. His gratia total is 450. F. H. 1. lishnell had not been on the range for some t me, but he had not lorgouen how to use the musket. He was i>o fortunate as to run up two score-* of 48, which rai>ed his total to 464. F. 0. •Young's best was 46, making his total 468. Ernest Jacobsen made, the greatest train during the day. His Lest was -IS, but this, with the other scores, gave him a gain of 14 points and a total of 4 80. The musket scores, Creedmoor and Columbia ring counts, were as follows: E. llnvt.V.

"Yesterday's cricket match at Alameda between the Pacific and Alameda teams was quite the mot interesting of the sea son to date. The Pacifies, who went In first, were minus several of their regular ni6n. but in spite of this put up the very respectable total of 131, Sewe'l, Casidy and Myers being the largest contributors. That their opponents managed to top this score by nine runs is duo to tbe ex cellent batting of their ciptain, R. B. Hogue, seconded by Moriarty and the oil-time cricketer. Spiro.

White Beat Birdsall and Johnson for the Honor of fastest Time. The California Cycling Club held a big road race over the San L.andro-Hay wards coarse yesterday morning. It was won by .V. Thoraas, who, with one-minute handicap, covered the five-mile course in 12 mm. 56 sec. Thomas H. White, who rode from the 15 -second mark*, made the fastest time, 12:24. The day was good for racing, the weather not bein_x too warm. The road was in fair condition, though somewhat rough in places. The. iace was remark able in that but one of the twenty-rive original entrants failed to start, and every one of the starters finished — one or two on disabled wheels, it is true, from falls or punctures sustained on th. route, but they all crossed the taps sooner or later just the same. The capturing of time-prize by White was something in the nature of a surprise to many, as it wa" thought that this honor would fall to Birdsa.l or Johnson, the scratch men.

Cal., Juiv 25.— John Fos ter, a member of the Sixth-street Fire Company, met with a serious injury to day. The Sixth-street house is the only new fire ding in ihe city and the dor mitories are in the second story. To facilitate reacning the engine when an alarm is sounded a pole runs between the two stories. It is not easy to slide down without practice, and it is very difficult to come down with one hand. Foster was doing some single-handed acrobatic* to-day, and when about half way down, essayed to do a deral-volt. He landed on the floor and sustained severe injuries to his back, and was taken to the Receiving Hospital. He is suffering much pain, and serious developments may follow. 'l wo Robberies.

THE SAPLINGS AND THE PUPPIES It Was Their Day at the Ingleside Coursing Park. Highly Bred Hounds Make Merry With Fleet-Footed Hares. Rossette and Cavalier. Belonging to P. 0. Curtis, and Welch's Tipperary Lass Made Records. The usual running of saplings and puppies, occurring the last Sunday of each month, took place yesterday at the Ingleside coursing park. The perform ances, witnessed by a couple ot thousand people, were highly gratifying and showed that the standard of breeding on this coast lar surpasses 'that of any other part of the United States. The youngsters showed better form than hose of last year and the stake-winners of three years ago would, in comparison, only make a showing with the third-cla-s of the present day. The perfection of breeding that has been attained in hounds is an encouragement to the Interstate Coursing Club member.. They have worked hard for years to bolster up coursing in this State, and it is only since a year ago last April,' when they secured the Ingleside park, that tbey have been abie to run their dogs on a legitimate course and command public interest. M. J. Donovan, the general superin tendentof the park, has settled down to a strict line of conduct, which prohibits anybody connected with the institution from either owning a dog or betting on any of the events. As a consequence, only the patrons of the park run their dogs, and leave all decisions to John Grace, the best and most popular judge of coursing in the United States. Yesterday's events, some thirty in num ber, were very close. The hares were strong and fully half of the starters es caped the dogs. There were but nine entries in the Stp ling stakes for prizes of $27 50. $15 and $10. The cream of the day's work was done by P. C. Curtis' Rossette and Cava: ier. They are le_*s than a month cut of the sap ling class and they ran down twenty of the best bred dogs in the State months their senior. M. Welch's Tipperary Lass likewise went to the front in treat shape, put she is four months older than the Curtis dogs. Following were the results: Puppy stakes— P. Murphy's Midlight beat J.

OAKLAND, Cal., July 2.5— R. C. Peach of the Alameda Sugar Company has just completed an inspection of the beet crop near Pleasanton and reports that the out look is most satisfactory. Considering there has been no spring rains, he says, the yield will be exceptionally good. He estimates that the shipment from Pleasanton will be in the neighborhood of 15.000 ton.. There nre fifty beet-raisers in that part of the county and all of them will get good returns for the outlay for putting in and harvesting the crop. All the beets have been contracted for, and if Mr. Peach's figures are correct the Ala meda Sugar Company will pay to the beet raisers hereabouts about $51,000, figuring on a basis of $3 40 a ton, the contract pr cc. yf: : f At the Theaters.

WEST OAKLAND "GANGS" AGAIN Their Fate Will Be Decided by Those Now Under 1 Arrest. Restaurant Men Are Innocently Making Thieves of Boys. One Night's Show at the Exposition That Did Not Add to Its Dignity. Oakland Office Sax Francisco Call.) 908 Broadway, July 25. ) After two years of immunity from the brutal work of the West Oakland '•gangs" some of the members have concluded that they have been quiet long enough, and during the pa<t few weeks have broken out afresh. A few weeks ago they wreck .d a restaurant, and a few nights ago they broke into a house and assaulted a woman. Some years ago these miscreants, who boasted ot maiming a police officer at least once a month, relied on their myste rious "pull" for getting clear in the Police Court. This pull did not reach the bench, but it left the Judge powerless. It was exerted to induce witnesses to leave the city when wanted, and thus cripple the police for lack of prosecution. After a while this pull disappeared, and several of the young criminals spent terms in jail, and the gangs were completely broken up. Their resurrection is the result of one of two things. They must either believe that the "pull" is revived or that the of ficials are weakening. Probably neither inference is true, but the members of the gang who are not under arrest have openly stated that they are carefully watching the progres- of the cases now in court and that their future actions will be guided by the result. This is rather a bold threat and its meaning cannot be mistaken. There is another view of this question to betaken. Recently a territory one-third ofthe siz.of the old city was added to the district over which Chief Lloyd is sworn to preserve order, but he has not been given a single extra man by the Com missioners. This leaves a large territory totally un protected, because the numerous deputy sheriff* that formerly guarded the place in the new territory have no longer any jurisdiction. This condition of affairs adds greatly to the responsibility of the Police Court, for if these "gangs" be not punished as they deserve they will cer tainly increase, and outlawry will prevail to an alarming extent in the unprotected territory. The men who owr the newspaper routes in this city have discovered that they have a common grievance. Unwittingly, they believe, the proprietors of restau rants and saloons are encouraging young boys to steal. In a city where there are to many residence sections as in Oakland the newspaper-carriers would lose a small fortune in time if they were required to place each paper under the dcors of sub scribers that are sometimes lift}* feet from the street. Knowing this, the subscribers are quite willing to have their papers thrown on their lawns or on their door step.. Of course this system offers a great field for petty thievery, for a boy who can .teal a dozen papers can make a living by theft. It has recently been learned that many restaurant-keepers will give a stale pie or loaf for a daily paper, and such a practice soon becomes known among the small boys of the city. This has grown to such an extent that there are restaurants that take half a dozen papers a day Irom the boys, g ving them in return pastry that would other wise be thrown away. It is a hard mat ter to rectify, for when a hungry-looking boy asks for a cake for a paper the restau rant man feels that he is doing a kindness by complying. There is another side to be considered, however, and that is the subscriber's view ot it. After paying for a paper he expects to receive it, yet many miss it daily be cause of thefts. There is now n lad in tho City Prison charged with burglary who used to deliver newspapers, and he stated that he was first led to crime because he found out that by selling some of the newspapers he should have delivered lie could add to his pocket money. Route agents declare that this evil has now reached a point where public attention should be called to it. If there had been some arrests at the Exposition last Friday nighta great many people would not have been surprised. There were children on the stage giving "a public entertainment" in tha strictest interpretation of the younger and more baby-looking than many who have caused trouble to theatrical managers. A eoodly part of the large audience enjoyed the performance, but many did not. To see dozen* of short-skirted littlo tots, averaging from 6 to 12 years, high-kicking before an audience of 4000 people is not calculated to make these little maidens models of propriety and modesty when they are ten years older. One little lady did not appear to be more ti an 4orsyear_ old, and did not have enough strength to hold her hands overhead as long as the others, but continually allowed them to drop exhausted by her side. The exhibi tion might have been all right at a family gathering, but at a county industrial ex position it wa. certainly an undesirable innovation. Stuart W. Booth. WILL WEAR EARRINGS. How Alameds Proposes to Mark Cows When Tested. OAKLAND, Cal., July 25.— Cows on this side of the bay are to wear earrings. Those that have been tested and found to be healthy will be ornamented wlih a piece of official jewelry that will be at tached to their ears with a piece of wire and sealed with the official seal of the Health Board. • :b ,v "I see it has been published that I would not accept a certiticate from the Oakland inspector," said Dr. Carpenter, Alameda's inspector, to-day. "That is not quite correct. I will cheeriullv ac cept any certificate ftom a proper officer, provided he can identify the cows he has tested. To do this he must have a mark. Our Health Board has decided that every cow te-tfid by , me shall De adorned with an earring. It will consist of an aluminum button attached to a piece of wire.

Special Services Held at Sun rise and Continued Till Midnight, The Bestaurant No Longer a Tent to Be'Begarded With Well rounded Suspicion. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,} 1)08 Broadway, July 25. f The crownine feature of the camp-meet ing at Trestle Glen was held this morn ing, when Captain Qtast was publicly wedded to Captain Anna White at the pa vilion at Trestle Glen, ln order to help the expenses of the camp a small fee was charged for admission, but it could hardly b- called extortionate, as it admitted the investor to a programme of events com mencing at 7 o'clock a. m. and lasting till 11 p. sc., with several invitations to kneel at the penitent form thrown in. The day's spiritual bill of fare was very varied. There was a "hallelujah breaK fast" at 7 a. m. ; a ■■make-rae-better" gathering at .ll; a wedding at 3, and a "Salvation blowout" at 8. There were some fine speakers on the ground, and Major Brengleof New York is a very in ter, sting man. Adjutant E lis of Japan and Adjutant Armstrong of San Jose are also on hand, and Major Wincbeii is always entertaining with his stories of social work. M jjr Mclntyre is very earnest and Major Marshall of Oregon cnates the impression that he was once an orthodox preacher. There was a great jam for the star num ber of the day— the wedding. As over, "aii the world loves a lover," and Salva tionists are no exception. They are in tensely human as well as humane, ana when the ceremony reached that portion where the blushing groom is at liberty to ki.s the bride everybody cheered. Major Mclntyre performed the ceremony and tne music was supplied in generous vol ume by the headquarters band. There is one great improvement that Salvationists have learned since last year. It is no longer with fear and trembiing that a visitor approaches the restaurant tent. In former year- there has evidently been an idea that the preponderance cf spirituality atoned In a measure for a lack. of fulln-ss on the bill of fare. This is not so this year, and Adjutant Sam Ward, who is in charge of the comrni-sary depart ment, is proving a model officer. The camp-meeting will close next Sun day night, and for the week a very attrac tive programme has been prepared. There are GO per cent more people in camp than have ever lived under canvas in Trestle Gleii in the past. INTERIOR CONVENTION. Plans for the J-.ndeavorers' Meeting at Irvlogton in September. OAKLAND, Cal., July 25 — The plans for the coming quarterly convention 01 the Alameda County Christian Eadeav orer Union at Irvington on September 11 and 12 are already well under way. It promises to ba one of the most successful as well as important conventions ever held in this county. It is tivo years since the last gathering of this Hind was held in Irvington. On that occasion a special train was run, which was the first one ever run in this State for religiou. purposes. The programme committee was selected entirely irom the Mizpah Union in order that the societies composing the union migh have the subjects and speaker, which they thought would be oi most benefit to tnem. Vice-President S. W. Wil lis of the county union is chairman, with Messrs. W. S. Briar and Professor H. C. Ingram as co-workers. Messrs. H. A. Wastell, 11. M. Brown and F. K. Hull are in charge of the transportation. Already they have secured a round-trip rate of $1. Tickets will bfl good going down Saturday and returning Monday morning. The Endeavorers ol Mizpah Union have offered to entertain all delegates free of charge if they notily some member of the transportation committee on or before September 1 of tbeir intention of attending the sessions of the convention. It is expected thatthe attendance will be large, as the members of the newly or ganized Vallecitos union can easily drive to Irvington, and the San Jose societies will be represented. Monday evening, in the assembly-room of the Young Men's Christian Association, will occur the regular annual meeting of the Oakland City Christian Endeavor Union. New officers will be elected and the work for the ensuing year outlined. The retiring president will recommend that the union make an attempt to secure the banner, presented by the United So ciety for the most done to promote sys tematic and proportionate benevolence, during the coming yoar. Special appeals for the Endeavorers, as well as other Christian people, to set aside one-tenth of their Income for Christian work, will be made during the coming months. He will also recommend that the union support State Superintendent M. C. Tur ner in the work among the sailors in Oak land harbor. The executive committee of the Valle citos union will meet in the Presbyterian Church of Pleasanton on Tuesday evening of this week to plan for tne fall work. This union was only recently organized and is composed of the Christian En deavor societies and Epworth leagues of Livermore, Pleasanton, Sunol and Dough erty Station. They will consider the mat ter of Sabbath observance, systematic and proportionate giving and place of holding rallies during the fall and winter. FOR A FIRE ALARM. Proposition to Construct One in Berke ley Will Be Discussed by the Trustees To-Night. BERKELEY, Cal., July 25.— The ques tion of constructing a tire-alarm system in Berkeley will come up again for discus sion at the meeting of the Town Board to morrow evening. A San Francisco elec tric company offers to put in a complete system reaching to all parts of the town for $3000. The idea of spending such a sum of money for the purpose named does not meet with the approval of the general population, because of the lack of service it would afford when the supply of water is taken into consideration.. In discussing the plan this afternoon President Richards of the board said: "There are so tew plugs in town and such a poor supply of water that it would be extravagance on the part of the Trustees to .pend the proposed $3000 on an alarm system. What ought to be done first is to get a good water supply, and then ; add these things later. If lam not mistaken there are only between forty and forty five plugs ln the entire town. If we can -1191 get a water supply an alarm system wil be useless." The board will listen to the protest front the property-owners having ho. dings alone Haste street, who object to having it widened from thirty to sixty feet. Trus.ee W. H. Marston will serve ps president pro tera. in the absence of J. .V. Richards, baa a sixty days' leave. President Richards will go 10 the country in a few days to regain lis health, which has recently been broken down ty over work. lloatrace* on the Creek.
