BULLS-EYE GLORY.
Prize-Shooting at Shell
Mound Park.
SAN FRANCISCO SCHUETZENS
Thirty-Sixth Annual Festival Is
a Success.
RECORD SHOOTING BY MILITIA.
Marksmen of the National Guard
Distinguish Themselves by
Excellent Scores.
There were medals enough displayed at
Shell Mound Park yesterday to have
Caused tbe average pawnbroker to turn
green with euvy. They were executed out
of every known metal, were of all sizes and
shapes, and to say the least, proved con
clusively that the members of the San
Francisco Schueizen Verein were marks
men of. rare ability.
For thirty-five years past this organiza
tion has held an anuual festival and prize
shoot, and this, the tlurty-sixih, was from
■all uoints of view one of the most success
ful ever given under its auspices. Target
shooting was not the only attraction at tbe
park during the day. There was dancing
in the pavilion, games on the racetrack,
lunich - baskets galore and more 6bort
speeches than a politician could ever
think of. Tha Scheutzens were here, there
ana everywhere, but whenever it became
necessary to find one of them in a hurry
the target-range was tbe place to look for
him.
Excitement was at its height at sun
down when tne scores had narrowed down

.""_.• That hero of many contests. PhUo
Jacnby, flitted about, wearing more dec
orations on his left breast than all his
„, friends combined, and in spite of the dead
weight he labored under still managed to
.-.give the young idea a few points on target
. • shooting. And D. \5. Faktor was on hand
. bright and early. He had his eagle eye
with him from the start and managed to
•keep it with him until the sinking sun put j
sy-j^oop to his operations. Some of the less j
' Vccessful of the irijrger-pulJing fraternity

really remarkable the versatility they dis
: play on au occasion of this son. There is

; \. one in the park, the watchful doorkeeper

.yesterday's shooting was concerned it was
, fully up to the Schueizen standard, while !
■ not phenomenal, so far as points were con

. .curately the scores on the spot was we!!
i .nrgh impossible, and will be completed
before the distribution of prizes takes

of "bullseyes were conveyed to some
iieeluded spot, where the experts will have
au opportunity to figure them down to
fractions of an inch.

TWENTY-NINE APPLICANTS.
The Abandoned Baby Boy Finds a
Comfortable Home.
An abandoned babe seems to have a
great attraction for married ladies. Twen
ty-eight of tl/em visited the Receiving Hos
pital yesterday morning, each one express
ing an earnest wish to adopt the two
week-old baby b>y that was left on tbe
doorsteps of .Solomon A. Miller's resi
dence, 623 O'Farrell street, on Saturday
nigbt. They were of all p.ees and all liv
ing in coiufor able homes. EftCO had a
loot at tlie baby, admired and fondled him
and left expressing her intention of calling
law with her husband to take him away.
When the twenty-ninth lady appeared
she was accompanied by her husband.
They at once agreed to adopt the little
waif. Dr. Corners was sent for and they
satisfied him of their respectability aud
capability to provide the boy with a com
fortable borne and to educate him to be a
responsible citizen. They d:d cot wish
their names made public so that the child's
mother could not in the future come for
ward and claim him. They were a proud
and happy couple as they left tbe hospital,
the lady hugging tbe child and beaming
upon him as if he were a heaven-sent gift.
FOUR BROTHERS
Play an Interesting Game
of Handball.
Champion Jones and Patrick Donnelly
Defeat Champion Riordan and
M. Dillon.
The principal attraction in handball
circles yesterday was the match at the
Union court between J. Jones, the Aus
tralian champion, and Patrick Donnelly
on the one side and J. Riordao, the Pacific
Coast champion, and M. Dillon on the
other side. The galleries were crowded
with admirers of the sport, who witnessed
a scientific exhibition, surpassing any
thinK before seen on the coast. Kiordan |
and Dillon won the first two games, and
their supporters were jubilant, as they felt
sure the invincible Jones would have to
lower bis colors for the first time. But
Jones did not see it tnat way, and he and
Donnelly, whose service was excellent,
took the next in ree games in grand style.
Another Interesting game at the Union
was the one between the two elder and the
two younger sons of Senator Williams.
The Senator acted as scorer, and warmly
congratulated the two younger sons,
Walter and A. C, when they came out
ahead. Such a family game has been
rarely seen in a handball court, here or
elsewhere.
Among the games at the San Francisco
court was a rattling one between George
Hutchinson and W. Kelly and J. liar low
and J. Dillon. Harlow and Dillon were
I the favorites and culled off the first two
games, but to their surprise and the as
tonishment of the spectators, Hutcbioson
and Kelly won the next three straight
with comparative ease.
The large crowd at the Occidental missed
Jones, the champion, but tuev saw some !
exciting games. Tom Walsh, a rising |
player, tried conclusions against T. Curley '
and N. Uewson. After each side won a {
game it was decided to postpone the final I
till next Sunday. Fortune is fickle with ',
r.ne Cyclone, but she smiled upon him yes- '
terday. He met Raymond Pontac, a ;
clever amateur, giving him two band* to
start with, and succeeded in winning the
game after n desperate struggle.
On Wednesday nizht, wtaieb is ladles'
nisiht at the Occidental. Jones and W. W.

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCIHCO, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1894.
SUTRO'S MIDWAY.
He Will Have a Plaisance
at the Cliff.
KIOSKS, MAZES AND THINGS.
What the Millionaire Bought in
Sunset City.
PANORAMA FOR THE POORHOUSE
An Artist to Build a Resort at Pied
mont From Fair Restaurants
and Ornaments.
Adolph Sutro intends having a midway •
plaisance of his own to keep the seals
company. That he will have sufficient
material for a grand aggregation of the
world-renowned shows, etc., is an assured
facr. For Sutro bag bought up all the
available structures, ornaments, pagodas
and things that formed part of the Mid
winter Fair wreck.
With half a dozen exceptions all tbe
other buildings have been disposed of at
nominal prices and are fast disappearing
by piecemeal, home will be re-erecte.l
across the bay. some will pass away into
npw houses, a few remain in Golden Gate
Park, the Hawaiian Panorama has been

moved to the Almsbouse. and the rest are
intended to grace Sutro Heights or vicinity.
The first restaurant building to open at
the fair was a picturesque bauerhaus in
| the Heidelberg Castle's concession. It
looked like a picture from an old Dutch
book, with its quaint gables, windows and
framework. Now it is owned by Sutro,
and will do service as a resort of some
kind, or probably a dwelling, on II street,
near the Olympic grounds whither it has
been moved and sot on new foundations.
But this is merely one of bis purchases.
He has bought the Hawaiian village, the
haunted swing, postoffice, magic mirror
maze. San Mateo building and Flemish
dairy, a rustic structure that stood along
tbe midway plaisance, and the substantial
redwood building of Ilumboldt County,
which can be moved without being torn
down.
All round the grand court and through
the Liberal Arts building one's curiosity
is excited by two letters "A. s." followed
by mysterious signs and numbers. You
see them on flagpoles, electric light masts,
j nymphs, tyres, eagles, plaster vases and !
I kiosks. Theyare painted in laree black j
characters and signify that the philantro
pbist of the cliff has acquired possession !
of these articles by paying a ridiculously I
small sum ol money to the management.
At preset t he is bargaining for the elec
tric tower and the music-stand.
None of these buildings are composed of
perishable stuff. They are fairly well con
structed frame houses that may be carried
away on rollers or trucks and will lust for
years to come with ordinary care.
The Hawaiian huts, though flimsy in
appearance, are firmly knit little bouses
j and their suaw roofs will withstand many
j a fierce olast, and being typical of the
j sunny land whence they came will be re-
I garded with interest and curiosity.
The haunted swing and mirror-maze
will stnnd as extra attractions at Sutro
Heights, while the postoffice can be vari
ously utilized and the dairy may forma
pleasant rustic arbor untwined in trailing
plants. Tlio Humboldt building can be
converted into a comfortable two-story
dwelling at small cost, and may be placed
south of tbe park.
What use the hundreds of electric light
and flag poles can be turned to is a puz
zling question, thouEh they may come in
conveniently when Sutro builds bis elec
tric railroad.
The facades of the French and German
sections in the Liberal Arts building, con
sisting largely of staff figures supporting
arches, ornamental columns, cornices,
vases and two monstrous staff eagles that,
measure 12 feet from tip to tip of their
wings, will be removed to the cliff this
week and Introduced in recesses of the
bathhouse as ornaments. There are two
highly artistic open woodwork pavilions
and one handsome pagoda in the Russian
section which will grace the bathhouse
and height*. Then the hundred kiosks
that stood in every nook and corner of the
exposition grounds are to be transplanted
to ottier scenes. Some fair officials be
lieve that this job lot will prove a white
elephant on Sutro's hands.
What Mr. Sutro did not secure has been
purchased for a curiosity shoD in the per
manent Egyptian building.
Tlio panorama building that covered
i Hawaii's burning mountain, has been
i carted to the Almahouae. Its lumber will
be employed in building a recreation ball !
for the poor inmates, but whether a cir
cular structure or an ornamental one will
be built is still a doubtful qu'-Riion.
The old mining cabins r.t Downey, Per
kins and Mac Key, Sam. Davis' '49 paper
office and the tua '49 camp office have been
presented to the park. All the remaining
buildings were sold to William* & Co.

been bought by a contractor for the lumber
in them. All the other small buildings
have been sold and are fast disappearing
in the shape of debris.
Ail that Is owned by the fair is the

the Emergency Hospital.
The Japanese are holding out for a

buildings have been sold.

WINNING YACHTS.
First Regatta of the
California.
The Rover Loses Her Topmast A
Great Race Attended by the
Usual Number of Mishaps.
The first annual regatta of the California
Yacht Club took place yesterday on the
bay. Barring the uncertainty of the wind
encountered it was an undoubted success.
Early in the morning all was acUvity
about the clubhouse, and trie small boats
were going to nnd from the clubhouse to
the yachts packinc aboard the racing sails.
Some of the craft had gone down the
creek the night before and anchored off
the Alameda mole, while the rest started
down about 10 a. m. yesterday. There
was a strong flood tide and very light
wind, and the yachts made but slow head
way.
A little after 11 Captain Mundyler. a
member of the club, came along in Ins ■
launch Viola and took two or three of the i
racers in tow and started down tin- creek, j
This was too good a thing to let slip, so a i
great number -of those mi the wav out
passed a line to the stern boat and joined
the procession. I3y the lime half the dis
tance had been covered the launch bad in
tow nine yacht?, which presented a very
pretty picture as they came down the
creek with all colors flying.
The regatta committee? «aw that it
would be impossible to start them off at
the tune appointed as they would not be
at the line in time so postponed the start
for one hour. All the while the breeze
was freshening and it 2p. m. when the
first class was sent off the spray was fly
ing.
Aft this class started the major, Captain
J. Hartman. j >lned the procession, but
was ordered back by the committee as he
was not in this class, an order which
he did not heed. Fur taking this action
he was ruled out by the judges.
The Siren when well on her way to
Blossom Rock was struck by a squall and
hail her port rigging carried away.
The Idler had cleared Goat Island and
was standing over to Blossom Rock when
it was noticed that her jibtopsail was in
trouble, and from tbe way she was sailing
she must nave lost fully twenty minutes
in getting it aboard again.
The Surprise pulled out of the race as,
when to lee of Goat Island, she ran into a
calm and came near being set on the rocks
by the tide, to prevent which the crew got
out sweeps, which disqualified them.
But the worst accident of all was to the
River, who apalu carried awny tier top
mast. Bruce seems to be in hard luck, as
this makes the second one that has gone
by the board In a month.
The wind increased until Blossom Reck
was reached, when it made things aboard
the craft as moist as the oldest salt could
wish for. and many were the cockpit rail
ers that were taken at this point.
Turning here the wind lightened until
at the finish some of thn yacht* bad hardly
enough to cross tne finishing line. The
first to reach home was the Flash, followed
by the Hazel, Whirlwind. Edna, Sevan
Bells, Dolphin, Pilgrim. Kara, Stranger,
Hover, Idler and Sea Fox in the order
named.
The corrected time was, in the largest
class: Seven Bells, 2:13:52; Rover,
2:25:51; Idler. 2:10:33; Edna, 2:11:08%;
Dolphin. 2:12:11. Iv the second class the
Pilgrim 2:33:55, and the Xira at 2:38:14.
In the subtler class the Fmsh 2:25:47, toe
Hazel 2:36:35. the Whirlwind 2:35:13, the
See Fox 3:35:22. and the Strancer 2:47:22%-
This gives tne first class to the Edna, me
second class to the Pilgrim, and the thin!
to the Flash.
The judges were Charles G. Yale, W. C.
Gibbs and Lieutenant Turner; th« timers
were Messrs. Lambert and Hommedieu.
The racing yachtmen after the race
spoke in high terms of the captains of the
ferry-boats for the courteous way in which
they kept clear of the course.

THE LEADING AIEN OF THE FETE.
Exercises in Metropolitan Temple.
A Theatrical Performance in
Turn Verein Hall.
Labor day will be appropriately cele
brated to-day, in spite of the general mis
understanding as to whether or not it is a
legal holiday. The various labor unions
in San Francisco and Alameda County
will turn out for a grand parade, with
music and floats and banners and oratory.
Hut it will not be entirely satisfactory to
the labor unions as a whole, because only
a limited number of ~ members will be per
mitted to participate. Stores, shops and
factories will be kept in operation pretty
much the same as if no national Labor day
exited in the statute-books of the United
States or of California. The members of
the various labor unions feel that they
have a grievance and a grudge against
some manipulator of legislative proceed
ings.
The bill which passed tbe California
Legislature, and became a law, desig
nating the first Monday in October of each
year as a legal holiday and "Labor
day," was introduced by the efforts of the
laboring men. In its original state it des
ignated the first Monday in September as
Labor's day, and it passed to engrossment
in that condition. But, through some
hocus pocus not explainable, the engrossed
bill changed th« time to tbe first Monday
in October, and in the rush of business it
was passed without tbe change being ob
served, and received the Governor's signa
ture. That is the grievance.
The San Francisco Labor Council sent a
communication on the subject to Governor
Markuam, asking if he would not ignore
the statute and issue a proclamation fix
ing Labor day on the first Monday ol
September. But this the Governor de
clined to do. In his reply, however, he
stated that if tbe labor unions throughout !
the State desire to have the date changed
in conformity with the original bill, lie
will recommend such change to the next
Legislature.
How the change in tbe original Dill
came about no one seems to know. It may
have been a mere clerical error on the
part ot the engrossing clerk, or, for some
reason not clearly understood, it may have
been brought about intentionally. There
was at the lime the bill passed consider
able opposition to tbe measure, owing to
the closeness of Admission day, Septem
ber 9, to the proposed Labor day. and it is
suspected that tbe change was effected by
and through the influence of this opposi
tion. Last yenr tbe labor unions refused
1 to accept the first Monday in October as i
I labor's holiday, and, therefore, appropri
ated the corresponding Monday of Sep
tember — the national day— and celebrated
to the best of their ability.
This year they will do the same, and the
autumn sun will shine upon a grand street
parade and the ocean winds will be stayed
in their course by the music of many
I instruments.
As many of the federated toilers in this
city and OaKland as can obtain leave of
absence irom their employers will attend
and participate in the celebration. Of
course the demonstration will not -be so
great as if it were in fact a legal holiday
by legal enactment. But it will be credi
table so far as it can go.
W. J. B. Mackay of the Sailors' Union
of tbe Pacific is the grana marshal of the
day. His chiefs of staff are: E. P. Bur
man ot the Furniture Workers' Union. L.

It is believed by the members of the ar
rangement committee that a number of
wholesale stores will close, at least during
a portion of the day, in order to give their
employes an opportunity to attend the
celebration, even though it is nut a legal
Holiday. Tne banks will be open, but ex
pect a slack business during the day. All
the Government departments. Federal,
State, city aud county— except some of the
courts— ;uid the public schools will go on
as usual-
There was a final meeting r,f the grand
marshal and his aids, at 363 Jessie street,
last night, and all necessary arrangements
for tbe celebration were coucluded.
The programme for the entertainment in
Turn Verein Hall is a musical affair, with

TWO GOOD GAMES.
Some Excellent Cricket
at Alameda.
The Cup-Holders and the Pacifies
Win the Three Tall Scores
by Three Good Men.
When the two leading clubs— the Ala
medas and Bohemias — come together they
always draw a good crowd of spectators,
but that of yesterday was exceptionally
large. The weather was perfect, which,
do doubt, Had much to do with this, but
the certainty of witnessing good cricket
and possibly a close contest had more.
In regard to play, no one had any cause
for disappointment. Moriarty for Ala
meda and Robertson for California gave
two batting performances that were worth
the trip over the bay to witness. So far as
the issue of the game was concerned there
was at every stage of the fight the greatest
excitement, and as the victory by the cup
holders was only by runs the interest of
onlookers was well sustained.
As the scores show, the batting perform
ances, with the already noted exceptions,
were not panic nlarly brilliant, and in one
of these cases— Moriarty's inning of 52—
there were two misses, Doth of which,
however, were difficult. Of field play
there were some deservedly applauded in
stances, Robinson's one-handed catch of
Slnman being a notable one.
Of the five bowlers put on by the Ala
tnedas' captain, Sloman did the best work,
and Guild for the Bohemias got five
wickets for 31. an analysis which, consid
ering the batting strength against him, is
distinctly meritorious.

At the pretty' grounds of Golden Gate
the Pacifies and fornias met the An
sonlans, defeating them by 58. This would
imply that the game was a very one-siund
one, but up to a well advanced stage of it
the contrary was the case.
Ansnn won the toss »nd went in, pre
ferring to give his opponents the benefit
of fielding in the warm half of the day.
He and Lugg then led off in grand shape,
making 60 between them, and had the rest
of the team contributed an average of 7
apiece, instead of something over 2, the
result of the match would bare been re
versed. Alison's innings of 45 was an ex
cellent exhibition of careful baiting.
With 95 to make the Pacifies went in,
and, though Meyers and Griffiths both
scored well, at the fall of tna seventh
wicket it was anybody's game. At that
point Charley Hill joined Wise, who was
set, and the two soon put all doubts at
rest by piling up between them 69 runs.
The bowline Honors fell principally to
Anson for California and Griffith* for the
Pacifies. Maish-Brownu of ban Jose also
did good work with the ball for the win
ners: Following is th» score:

CALDERON BOILS.
The Salvadoran Consul on
His Defense.
NOT EDUCATED BY BARRIOS.
Charges of Drunkenness and
Immorality Denied.
EMBITTERED REPLY TO EZETA.
Imputes Unworthy Acts and Motives
to the Ex-President, His
Old Enemy. *
Doctor Calderon, Consul for San Sal
vador, donned his war paint yesterday and
dipped bis tongue in venom, wherewith to
reply to his old enemy, General Antonio
Ezeta, now belne held in this city pending
extradition proceedings.
Calderon says that Ezeta overstepped the
limits of propriety when he ventured to
attack him personally; assailing his good
character aud holding him up as an ex
ample of Central American immorality.
"Ezeta has attacked me and now I feel
it my duty to answer him," commenced
the Consul last eveniug as be gathered a
mass of pupers before nim. each and every
one of which. had a separate story.
"Before presenting my proofs to show
that my enemy has uttered a suing of
falsehoods 1 must show you a clipping
from the official paper of Santa Ana, pub
lished under the press censorship of An
tonio Ezeta.
"There is a cable dispatch, which It
dated at San Francisco, published under
date of February 23, 1892. which reads:
Dr. E. CaiUeioD has been committed to an
in*aue asylum. He Is violently insane, the dis
ease having been brought oa by excessive us«
of liquor.
"That dispatch never originated at Sam
Francisco. It was simply put in this paper
at tlm instigation of Antonio Ezeta."
Under the dispatcii shown by the Consul
was printed an editorial headed, "Dis
graced," in which Dr. Calderon was posi
tively declared to be a drunkard and a
worthless character.
"Ezeta declares that he does not know
me; that 1 was expelled from Guatemala
and that I was educated by President Bar
rio?, on whom I afterward turned.
"Here are letters from my teachers
and receipts for tuition paid by my father.
AH are dated as you wiij observe daring
1871. 1872 and 1573. Barrios was never in
power during those years."
Doctor Calderon then unfolded docu
mentary evidence which purported to snow
that what be said was true.
One letter was signed by the father-in
law of ex-Consul Roma, now a merchant
in this city. Other letters and a diploma
from the irniversity Berne, Switzerland.
showed that Calderon had graduated be
fro Barrios was a Central America politi
cian.
"This letter of 18S8, dated at the execu
tive mansion of ibe President of Guate
mala, appointed me a Commissioner of tho
Government to Paris during that year."
The Consul then handed over a commu
nication sigued by Barillas.
"And now for the most interesting part
of my siory :
"In 1890 I received several communica
tions signed by Antonio Ezeta, and by his
brother Carlos, offering me positions in the
gift of the Government.
"Their reason for doing this was to get
me in their power, for they knew that I
was an enemy of the administration.
"Antonio Ezeta says that he does not
know me; well, please read this:"
The epistle tendered by the doctor is
dated at Santa Aua, and its translation is
as follows:
We have nominated you for the position of
chief surgeon of the army and Board of Health
1 cjiii assure you of tlie tegular salary, aud sin
cerely Lope tnat you will accept.
antoxio Ezeta.
Still another letter signed by Ez«ta
urged accet)t*nce, and said that "the Chief
of Police will do all in bis power to assist
you."
Dr. Calderon declined, and then it was
that he was attacked, he says, and had to
leave the country.
"Ezeta accuses me furthermore of ex-
Dressing a disdain for «elf-made men. If
there is any one 1 admire it is the honor
able self-made man."

A BURGLAR'S MISHAP.
Severely Injured While Escaping
Prom a Lodging- House.
Tbe occupant of a room in the lodging
house at the corner of Kearny and Morton
streets was awakened at 4:30 o'clock yes
terday morning by the noise made by a
bureiar, who was industriously engaged
in examining the content* of a bureau
drawer. The man in the. bed yelled, and
the man at the drawer cursed and dashed
nut of the room, which was on an upper
floor.
The lodger pursued the thief, who
honing to gain time, leaped over the ban
ister and landed on his back on the floor
below. He was severely injured by the
fall, and lay groaning and blaspheming
until the police arrived. He was taken to
the old City Prison and booked there for
burglary, but it was subsequently found
necessary to send him to the Keceiving
Hospital.
The burglar says he is a sailor, and that
his name is J. L. Thomas. The police
found some money, a watch and a buncti
of keys in his pocket that he had stolen
from tbe lodging-house.
