The S. F. Chronicles twelve-page
edition, August Dist, is a marvellous re-
suit Of journalistic enterprise. 1t was
published during the grand Knight
Templar conclave in the bay city, and
doubtless was profitable show of its
publishers reserve force. Yankees beat
the world when it comes to enterprise,
and in no profession is this spirit shown
more conspicuously than in journalism.
Now that Mr.. Chas. B. Wright has
gone. it is hoped after the Tacoma
Ledger publishes two or three coulmn
"reminiscences about him for few weeks
longer it viii get through and give its
readers little news just for the sake of
variety. 1t has been slobbering over
this distinguished gentleman so much
lately that one is led to wonder what he
has ever done to merit such officious and
sickening gush.
A row occurred this afternoon in Bart
let's beer cellar, and officers Sheehan
and Finn jailed three of the combat

As an evidence of journalistic enter
prise and a compilation of artistic and
literary merit, the extra edition of the
California Spirit Of the Times and I'm
deTtc'iters' Journal, published July %,
1888, ranks above any similar attempt
yet made upon the Pacific coast. 1t con-
tains 116 pages of matter, profusely il
Illustrated with protraits, maps and en-
cravings, including among the latter
copies of the several knights Templar
trophies, views of the most prominent
and elegant public buildings and pri
vate residences of San Francisco and
Sacramento, with numerous and accur-
ate cuts of places of scenic interest
throughout the State. We acknowledge
the receipt of a copy.
BOUGHT A SrEAMER.-Captain A. o.
benjamin, who recently sold his inter
est in the Gospel ship EvangeI, has pur-
chased little steam propeller recently
built by j. G. Hornbeck, of Port Blakely,
and which will be completed in about
three weeks. The little craft is 46 feet
long, 10 feet keel, and feet depth of
hold In other words, she is about the
size OF the Success, and has an upright
engine 6x9. When completed Captain
Benjamin will use her as a sort of
tender, as he will go quite extensively
into the wrecking business. Her first
work will be to raise the burned steamer
Gem, and the wrecked steamer Che
halls. Captain Benjamin is pretty
good man, and deserves the pros perity
which is crowning his efforts-Post-I.
REVERE WRECKED.-A dispatch to
Capt. JAS. Mcintyre, of this pla ce, from
Capt. j. F. Kinds, from Victoria, brings
news of the total wreck near San Juan
Harbor, Vancouver Island, on Sunday
morning, of the bark Revere. 1t is sup
posed she ran ashore in the fog. She
was on her way up from Honolulu. She
was built in Medford, Mass, but in what
year we know not. She was command
ed for many years by Capt. Mcintyre
himself, and at the time of her being
wrecked he owned one-third of her The
other two-thirds was owned by John
and Edward Kentfeld, of San Francis
co. She was uninsured, though Capt.
McIntyre's interest carried policy until
quite recently. The many friends of
Capt. Mcintyre here deeply sympathize
with the Captain III his loss. He had
worked long and hard to accumulate the
property and must feel its loss greatly.
1t is learned that all on board the vessel
were saved.
Capt Cater, of the bark Emerald, has
our thanks for files of late Honolulu
papers.
