DONE WITH SPIKES
Result of the Olympic
Field Day Games.
EXTRAORDINARY HIGH JUMP.
Leland Stanford University Athletes
Capture a Majority of
Events.
The spring field day of the Olympic Club
took place yesterday, but owing to counter
attraction at the Height-street grounds tbe
attendance was not up to tbe expectation
of the club managers.
A better day for outdoor athletics could
not possibly be desired. There was no
heavy fog to chill the thin-clad athletes and
the gentle zephyr that kept the numerous
little flags which decorated the beautiful
greensward in motion, was welcomed by
the runners, who had longed for a breath
of fresh air after a hard race.
None of the representatives of the Uni
versity of California contested, but in their
places tbe comiag "flyers" of the Iceland
Stanford University appeared and aston
ished the athletes of the Olympic Clubby
their very excellent performances. K. A.
Suitor of Stanford walked away with the
first prize from the six-yard mark In the
120-yard race, and Reynolds of the same col
lege took secund prize.
The 6 .0-yard run was captured also by
Donald ii. Fry of Stanford who, although
stinting from the fifteen-yard mark, beat
the second man home by fully the length of
bis handicap.
The mile walk was as usual a tiresome
spectacle.
There was much disappointment when
the announcement was made that the great
distance runner of Stanford College, U. E.
own, would not start on the three-quarler
mile race. Brown was on baud and stated
that owing to the bad weather, which had
spoiled the Palo Alto track, he was unable
to train for the event, and rather than take
any chances of a defeat he considered that
the wisest thing he could do was to remain
out of the contest. The race was won by
Pert 11. Coffiu of the Olympic Club in good
style.
Coffiu, who is one of the most graceful
runners that has been seen on the cinders
for some time, will prove a dangerous op
ponent to any of the long-distance slriders
who will measure steps with him at the
championship meeting.
Terrlll, who represents an unattached
club, astonished his opponents by winning
the 300-yard dash from the five-yard mark.
It must lie said, however, that Maynard of
the Stanfords made, a grand attempt for
first honors, and were it not for the fact of
having to run several yards on the outside
of his opponent his chances of victory
would have been very good indeed.
Land did not have to exert himself very
much to defeat Casidy and Coffin. The lat
ter quit alter traveling about eight laps.
In the shot-putting Stanford's colors again
came to the front. Orcutt, a finely put
together fellow, with a good ..imply of bone
and muscle, took the first prize away from
A. 11. Lean of the San Francisco Turn
Verein. The Stanford man had. however,
a handicap of three feet, which he needed,
as he defeated Lean by two inches only.
The pole vault was sharply contested, and
after numerous trials it was won by M.-.
Clellaud of the Acme Athletic Club, who
was closely pushed by Crane of the Stan*
ford University.
Ad'lph Cheek, a lad of 10 years, gave the
running high jumpers the surprise of the
day by clearing 5 feet 9 inches, which is a
remarkable performance for a lad of his
years. Check la a member of the Academic
Athletic Association.
The game-, as a whole, were first-class,
and the only drawback was the small gath
ering which reflected considerably on a club
which has a membership of over 2000.

DR. COGSWELL IS CAREFUL.
He Asks for an Injunction Against the
Polytechnical College Trustees.
Dr. ii. D. Cogswell applied to Judge
Hunt for an injunction yesterday to re
strain the trustees of the Cogswell Polv
leclinical College from holding their tri
yearly election of officers.
. On March 19, 1887, Dr. Cogswell executed,
a deed of trust to several prominent gentle
men conveying to them certain property
with which to found his polytechnical school,
naming, however, certain conditions and

restrictions in regard to the execution of the
trust.
On January IS, 1892, he sued the trustees
to declare the trust deed void, on the ground
that tho conditions had not been compiled
with.
Pendingthe trial of this suit the tri-yearly
election fell due and he sought to prevent
such election, fearing that his rights in the
suit would be thereby prejudiced.
Judge Hunt slated that the election of
new offioers among the trustees cannot
affect his substantial rights in the litigation,
and suggested that the case would have
been tried long ago had It not been for the
delay of counsel.
The injunction was dented and the case
set lor April 7.
SPORTING NOTES.
Events That Will Take Place To-Day
on Land and Water.
A boat-race will take place to-day over
the Long Bridge course between Prank
Huplisea and Han Fitzsimmons Against
Frank Darling and William Met. rill . The
winners will be ready to meet any two
oarsmen of the coast under 20 years of age.
With one more game to play for the pen.
nant the standing of the clubs of the Gaelic
Athletic Association competing therefor is
as follows: " .
Emmets— 5. won 2. Inst 3.
O'Briens- Played 6, '.yon 4, lost 2.
Parnells— Played 5, won 4. lost 1.
The game at Alameda to-day between the
Parnells and O'Briens will probably be the
last of the series unless the O'Briens win,
in which case they would be (led with the
Parnells, and another game would be neces
sary to decide the championship.
The Pacific Kennel Club has selected
David Sinclair to act as clerk for the bench
■how committee. Mr. Sinclair Is certainly
the right man in the right place, as he has
had a wide experience in the East in con
nection with kennel affairs, and should
therefore prove a valuable man to the com
mitter, whose headquarters are at 028
Market street.
.Judging from the interest that Is being
taken by the sportsmen In the coming show
tho Pacific Keuuei Club can reasonably
hope for success.
li." opening of the Scliuetzen Club Park
nt .--.iii Rafael to-day will no doubt be au
affair which will afford much enjoyment to
those in attendance. Splendid prizes will
be offered for bowling and rifle-shooting.
The first handball tournament given by
the Olympic Club tins year will be played
at the club's grounds this afternoon.. As
handball lias become a very popular sport
with ' amateur athletes a large attendance is
expected, j .
AN ARTIST'S GENEROSITY.
William Keith Presents a Great Paint-
ing to the Press Club.
One of the most generous gifts over made
by any of our local artists was the presenta
tion of. his masterpiece by William Keith
to the Press Club of San Francisco.
The great and often admired canvas rep
resenting a woodland scene In Maine,
painted by this famous artist after a sketch
which he made when back in New England
years ago, was yesterday hung in the rooms
of the Press Club as a present from a great
painter to the newspaper men of this city.
The picture is well known as a companion
tn the painting owned by Mrs. George
Hearst, called "In the Woods of Califor
nia," and it has always been considered
Mr. Keith's best work before the public.
In; a woodland meadow a flock of sheep
are browsing, while in the perspective a
farmhouse stands in an opening, surrounded
by all the appurtenances of a New England
country home.
The lime is evidently late in the spring,
when all nature luxuriates In that part of
Ihe country, for the sheep are almost buried
in the hieh grass which they have selected
for a feeding ground,

A MYSTERY ENDS.
The Rosalie Is for Bay Ex
cursions.
She Is Simply a New and Harmless
Pleasure-Boat That Will Make
Regular Trips.
The handsome little steamer Rosalie made
her trial trip yesterday. Invitations had
been sent to over 200 guests to attend the
trip and most of them weie on hand.
Long before 1:30 p. M., the time the
steamer was scheduled to start, Washing*
ton-street pier was crowded with poople
curious to know what the mysterious little
steamer was to be used for. Those who
were not possessed of invitations were not
afforded the privilege of Inspecting the
Rosalie on the inside, but the outside suited
many, for added to her beauty, she was
very prettily decorated with fl.'gs and bunt
ing.
At about 1 o'clo ■!; the invited guests com
menced to arrive, and at 1:30 o'clock, when
the Rosalie weighed anchor, about 200
guests were aboard of her. The Fifth Regi
ment band commenced to play, and the
Rosalie started on her trial trip. She was
headed tot the Union Iron Works, where
thn sights were taken in, and from there
sho proceeded to Black Point, thence to
Sausalilo, Tlbnron, Red Rock and around
Goat Island, returning to the dock at about
4 o'clock.
During the trip the guests nssembled in
the cozy cabin, where speeches were made
by W. I). English and other.', compliment-
C. L. Dimon and James J. Elbert, the own
ers of the steamer, upon her beauty and
the enterprise for which she is intended.
Mr. D.moii, In a very neat speech, ex
plained to the guests the mission of the
steamer which had created so much curios
ity. He said that the Rosalie would be used
purely as an excursion steamer to ply dur
ing the summer months around tho bay and
to the Farallono Islands, Monterey and
Santa Cruz.
Mr. Dimon also said that ho had studied
the situation thoroughly and he had found,
that this city was In need of an excursion
boat, as when Eastern visitors come here
they visit the park, 111 House, etc., but
they never have an opportunity to take a
trip around the bay.
The speed and engines of the Rosalie
were Dot tested yesterday, but it is claimed
that an average of 14 knots was made un
the trip. s_^
The steamer Oregon arrived from the
north yesterday afternoon.
The revenue cutter Rear, which will
shortly depart for the Arctic, went to. Mare
Island yesterday to secure supplies.
Non-union crews were shipped yesterday
on the schooner doubling and the ship John
Briggs.
The Pacific Mail steamer Acapulco left
for Panama yesterday with a light cargo.

How many people have heard the verb to
strawn (Vermont), or to strain (Nantucket),
meaning to wander about aimlessly ? Could
the phrase "I don't guess it's so," be prop
erly attributed to a genuine Yankee, speag
ing the rustic speech ?
A Yankee says "1 reckon" only less often
than he says "1 guess." is this as ancient
a use with him as "1 guess," or did he some
how pick it up from the Southerners.
Are doughnuts called simbaUs elsewhere
than in Weymouth, Bingham and a few
other towns in Southeastern Massachu
setts?
How far west or north must one go before
a doughnut becomel a "nutcake," and how
much further west before it becomes a
"fried oake ?"
What is the origin of the former New
England term, now almost obsolete, of
"dodunk" for a stupid, simple person? The
word is often fsimd in Mr. Roland K. Rob
inson's Vermont's stories, which, by the
way, are the best Vermont stories yet put
in print.

The two drummers were standing up at
the railway restaurant counter feeding.
Pretty soon one. of them, after a slight
manipulation, handed something to the
other.
"Have a Liliuokalaul sandwich?" he said.
' "What in thunder kind of a sandwich is
that." said the other, taking it.
"Try it and see."
"Come off," exclaimed the other one, as
he pried It open with his knife, "there's
nothing in it."
"That's why we call it the Lllluokalani
sandwich," explained the first one, and
went un eating.

ONE WAY TO STOP CRIME.
How a Man Punished an Egg-Stealing
Servant.
11-.'.-T-iIo Express.
Among the passengers on a train running
Into Buffalo yesterday was a spruce looking
young farmer who occupied a seat alone and
appeared lo be reflecting on something really
amusing. He would now and then chuckle
to himself as though he had got the better of
some one in a way that thickled him. Finally
a fellow passenger remarked to him that he
looked particularly happy.
"Yes," he said, "I had a little fun yester
day over a serious matter. We have a girl
working for us who Is chain lightning at
housework, but Is light fingered. We had
missed a good many little things from the
house, but I had no evidence that she had
taken them. I observed, however, that for
some reason every time she went to the
home of her parents she carried a bundle of
Clothing and brought it back again with pre
cise regularity.
Among the things we missed most con
spicuously was almost the entire pioduciiou
of egg-, but we could not conceive of a way
In which she could carry them home with
out being detected in the act. I was de
termined to ascertain if she carried them
away in the bundle, and so, when she ar
ranged to go home a few days ago, I insisted
upon driving over that way. 1 noticed at
once that she was not enthusiastic over the
proposition.
"When all was ready I caught up the
regulation bundle and at once could feel the
eggs within. There must have been two or
three dozen In there. 1 handle it as though
it was damage-proof, and she grew corre
spondingly nervous. I put the bundle
where one of my feet could easily reach it,
and on the way 1 would every minute crack
an egg and remark that I thought 1 heard
peculiar noises now and then, and wondered
what it could be. It was a zero day, but
when I turned to see how the girl was en
joying it the sweat was pouring down her
face, and she looked the very picture of
despair.
I cracked a few more eggs, and remarked
about the peculiar sound again. When we
reached nor home I.took good care when 1
helped her out to hnnd her the precious
bundle. It was in a condition unfit lor
transportation, but I placed it in her hands
with groat pleasure. I think she never will
forget just how she. felt as she endeavored
to hang on to the bundle and keep the eggs
where she had placed them. I shall not
soon forget how she looked. I need not
describe how the eggs seemed to enjoy the
situation, but let the curtain drop iv fiout
of her dress and wraps."
BADLY MIXED
A Couple of Begging Imposers Be
trayed by an Amusing Mistake.
New y orlc Mm,
Pedestrians on Sixth avenue yesterday
during shipping time were much puzzled by
an old woman who was playing a barret
organ at corner of Thirtieth street. On
one end of the organ she had pasted this
sign: "Help the Blind." Beneath it ap
peared this second appeal : "1 am the Father
of Seven Motherless Children."
The old woman wore a pair of blue gog
gles, behind which her eyes were com
pletely hidden. Many Quizzical looks were
thrown at her as the passers-by read the
inscription on the organ, and one or two
persons said some sharp words, but the
old woman went on placidly turning the
crank.
A few blocks down the street the mys
tery of the inscription was cleared up. At
Twenty-sixth street sat an old man turning
music out of a barrel organ as dilapidated
as the one whose faint strains could almost
be heard from up the street. He, too, wore
goggles, and his orgau bore this legend,
"Help the blind," and under it, "I am tho
mother of seven fatherless children."
A mail stepped up to him and said: "Look
here, my friend, next time you go out you
had better get the sign right on your organ."
The grinder must have guessed what the
error was, for, pushing the goggles back
from his eyes, he peered quickly up and
down the street as if looking for a police
man. Seeing none, ho leaned over and read
tbe sign. ' ii'MWW" *H),ili" I .H. 1 " 11 ' iP'liHl'i'l/lil N
''Dot blast the old woman," he muttered,

pushing the goggles over his eyes and

ABOUT FINGER-NAILS.
Their Growth, Their Health and the
Time to Cut Them.
i-liiladelpliia Times.
The philosophy of the finger-nails is a
most Interesting study, simple though it may
appear at first sight.
It has been computed that the average
growth of the finger-nails is 1-32 of an inch
per week, or a little more than an Inch nnd
a half per year. The growth, however, de
pends to a great extent upon the rate of
nutrition, and during periods of sickness it
is undoubtedly retarded.
It Is understood to grow faster in summer
than in winter, and differs for different
fingers, being most rapid in the middle
linger and slowest la the thumb and little
finger.
According to the rate of growth agreed
upon by eminent authorities, the average
time taken for each finger-nail to grow its
full length is about four and a half months,
and at this rate a man of 70 years of age
would have renewed his nails 186 times.
Taking the length of eacli nail at half an
inch, lie would have grown 7 feet 9 inches of
vail on each finger, aud on all his fineers
and thumbs an*aggreg«te length of 77 feet 6
inches.
It is asserted by some that the nails of
the right hand grow faster than those of the
left. __ _..-■.:•■
it is interesting to watch the history of a
case of disease as recorded upon the finger
nails. When we look at the patient's nails
we see on each of thera a distinct ridge,
showing that the portion ot the nail which
has grown since the acute attack is much
thinned out.
if a person has broken his arm within
eighteen months, the ridges on the nails of
the hand of the affected arm may be seen,
while they will be absent on the other hand.
The more acute the illness the sharper
will be the ridge. Extreme anxiety and
mental depression - have the same ' effect
ou ihe nails as physical disease.
Tne finger-nail is a very enduring evidence
of disease. If there has been an acute
rheumatism in the system, with a temper
ature of 104 or 105 degrees, the nail will be
cut down sharply.
In typhoid lever, where the disease comes
on gradually, there is no such sharp cut
ting ol the nail. '•."-'.•-
There are several well-known sayings
with regard to the paring of the finger
nails, and among them are the following:
"Cut them on Monday, cut them for
heal ; cut them on Tuesday, cut them for
wealth; cut them on Wednesday, cut for a
letter; cut them on Thursday tor something
better; cut them on Friday, you cut fur a
wife; cut them on Saturday, cut for lung
life; cut them on Sunday, you cut them for
evil, for all of that week you'll be ruled by
the devil.''

"Where's Henry Bilker?" he asked.
"Henry left three months before I did. I

"That's just what he did," replied his
companion. ■'
"Well, well, 1 never would have thought
it. How did he do it?"
"Signed it to a- check. 1 don't know
