Hokev-Pokey, or. Hokus-pokus.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN Chief Dillman ap-
pears to think that hockey pokey is not per-
centage game; in fact. that it is avery inno-
cent thing, while, in fact, he knows, or
ought to know, that it is one Of the most
thieving percentage games ever run in the
city-beside which faro is respectable
game. One of the worst features OF hockey
pokey is that drinks are free, and the
drunken the players get the more the dealer
can rake in percentage. 1t looks very much
as though some of our city officials are
standing in with the gamesters. Strange
that hokey-pokey was run openly for six
weeks before an arrest was made. and then
that witnesses were not brought into Court
to prove that it was percentage game,
which could have been done easily. 1t is
to be hoped that Judge Henry will see to it
so far as he can that the laws against
gambling are enforced, and the right wit
nesses called in, and that some energy is
shown on the side Of The People
Nor BLIND.

Clunie Opera House.

Bella Moore concluded successful en-
gagement last night and departs to-day for
San Francisco to play for new season at
the Bush-street Theater She is a pains
taking, talented lady and an " original -
artist and made here a host of friends on
and off the stage. She received double
recalls last night and floral tributes. To-
night Miss Carrie Swain appears as Cad,
the Tomboy." Her success in San Fran
cisco has been remarkable. She played
with great success a full season at the Bush
street house, another at the Alcazar and
two weeks more at the Bush, or ten weeks
in all, four of which were taken by Cad,
the Tomboy." The San Francisco CAL
yesterday said: There must be great
personal drawing power in a professional
who can for so long time keep alive the
interest Of the public in such piece. Miss
Swain, who came here with many misgiv-
ings, after great coaxing, fearful she would
meet the fate of all actresses who play in
their own town, has, we are informed,
cleared $11 600 for the management, which
for once breaks the back of the old proverb.
After playing through the country east
ward, she will essay recognition in
Europe" The prices for the engagement
here are so and % cents. Reserved seats,

Saturday morning the dead body of a
man was found floating in the Sacramento
river about ten miles below this city, on
the Yolo side, near the mouth of Babel
slough. 1t was secured and brought to the
town of Washington, where an inquest was
held Saturday night by Justice George J..
Scully. The remains were unidentified
and are described as follows: About 40 or
80 years of age, and 5 feet inches in hight,
light hair, chin whiskers, light mixed with
gray, thirteen or fourteen inches in length,
had apparently been in the water eight or
nine days, black coat and vest nearly new,
pantaloons considerably worn, boots nearly
worn out. In his pockets was found a
purse cotaining a pair of gold sleeve
buttons, agate setting, a two-bladed, buck
handled poeket-knife, apparently new, a
pair of nose eye glasses and pair OF spec
tacles in case, a pocket comb, an lndelll-
BILE pencil, three keys upon ring. He
wore a white shirt but no collar. The jury
could not determine whether it was a case
of accidental drowning or suicide. The
effects are in the possession of Justice
Scully.

Pioneer Banquet.

Saturday evening the Association of Pr
oneers gave a grand reception to Francis D,
Clark, Secretary of the New York Society
of Territorial Pioneers of California. Mr..
Clark was sent as delegate from his Soci-
ETY. to be present at the dedication Of the
Pioneer Hall in San Francisco. He was
member OF Colonel Stevenson regiment,
and at one time resident of Sacramento.
Coming to California in 1S47, he had many
pleasant "reminiscences, which he related
in most happy manner. of the pioneer
life and Of the queer actions of the pioneers
on their arrival here in 1910. He said the
present President of the New York Society
was an early settler of Sacramento, once
its MayOr-DemaS Strong. The members
of the organization were men who bore up
under the early floods and fires of Sacra-
mento, and the early fires of San Fran
cisco and Stockton. After an absence of
thirty-one years he observed many changes,
but had the pleasure of meeting several
of his old comrades of the historic regi-
ment, some of whom were members of the
Sacramento Association of Pioneers. Turn
ing to those referred to, who were seated
next him at the head OF the table, he said {;
Brothers, we were here when the dis
coverv of gold was made On January Is,
1913; we were companions in those early
DAYS. and thank God we are here tonight
reviving old memories after q lapse of
nearly forty years" Wherever California
pioneer meets another there Immediately
springs up an at:achment-theya are actu
ated by sentiment. He had visited the So
cieties of Pioneers at San Francisco. Stock
ton, San Jose and Monterey, and in each
place they said to him, when you reach
Sacramento you will find live Society OF
Pioneers" He was sure that his exDecta-
tons were fully realized in that respect; he
was proud of the ovation he had received.
Space will not permit giving full text OF
his remarks full and trimming over with
wit and interesting anecdote of the historic
days.
The speech of welcome by George
W Chesley was in his usual
happy style, in fact, an effort worthy
any man, eloquent and full Of feeling.
In speaking of their rapidly-thinning ranks
be said We realize the fact that we are
past the meridian of life; that we are on
the down grade that leads to the dark val
ley, whittier the larger portion of our early
comrades have gone, been piloted over the
dark river into the unknown beyond but
we take pleasure in the knowledge that We
are joyful, happy band, all brothers, and
when link is broken we realize 1t to be a
loss that cannot be replaced"
Remarks were made by John 5. Miller,
Samuel Deal, J. V. Sims and others. The
banquet table was set with the choicest
viands and wines, and there was Joy unre-
strained until very late hour.

Metronolitan Theate-.

The Palmer Company concluded its en-
gagement on Saturday afternoon, and left
for Denver that evening. This evening
Long & Motifs Dramatic Combination will
begin weeks season, opening with " The
Private Secretary" in which J. n. Long, a
capital comedian, has the title role. 1t is
a play concerning which much has been
said and that has excited a great
deal of criticism. Very little, however,
has been adverse, and such as was has re-
lated mainly to the question of the propri-
ETY. of making clergyman the central fig
ure of the comedy. But all are agreed that
it is the most comical of comedies, and so
full of laughter that it flows over the edges.
The company is a strong one, and embraces
well-known and popular people. Harry
Mainhall, fine actor, is leading man of
the troupe, and Isabelle Morris is also a
member-a lady of high and deserved rep
utation as an emotional actress. 1.-THE
Private Secretary" had a phenomenally
long run at tie Madison Square Theater,
New York, and has been very successful in
two seasons in San Francisco. The prices
for the Long & Mott season are so cents
and 81, and there is to be no extra charge
for reserved seats.

Seriously Hurt.

About u o'clock yesterday, while Mrs.
E. NJ. Stevens was turning the southwest
corner of Third and streets, she was
thrown out of her phaeton upon the stone
pavement. She was picked up in an in
sensible condition, placed in carriage and
taken to her home. She regained con-
seriousness after a short time, but the at
tending physician was unable to determine
the extent of her injuries, as she COM
planned of pains in her side and back. She
received scalp wound on the back Of her
head, and one arm was seriously hurt. The
horse, after Mrs. Stevens was thrown out,
ran up street some distance, when he was
caught. The party who captured him got
in the phaeton to drive back to Mr..
Stevens place of business, when the ami
NAL again ran away, this time making for
Chinatowr and wrecking the buggy against
some freight cars. This is the same ami
NAL that Captain Stevens was driving some
months ago when he was thrown out at
Fifth and j streets and suffered a COM
minated fracture of his right leg. The ami
NAL certainly is not a profitable one to have
around, and the Captain no doubt will get
rid of him. The street-car service would
be good duty for all such.

Reserved Seats and the Managers.

Complaint is made to us OF pnfairness in
! the matter of reserved seats at theaters, and
| it is alleged that at the Metropolitan on
Saturday the wrong was carried to the ex-
treme limit. The complaint is that while
but forty or fifty seats were really reserved
| by purchase, quite all the seats in the dress
circle were =" turned up" signifying that
! they had been reserved, and thus patrons
desiring seats there were compelled to pay
the reserve price or go to some other sec
ton of the house. In the ordinary accep.
| tation of the words, reserved seats"
| means such seats as have been actually taken
and paid for by patrons during the day or
days prior to the performance, who for
the certainty of having seats of their own
selection, are willing to pay an extra price.
But it is understood that managers claim
that the words reserved seats" mean in
addition, all that the management may
choose to so mark and sell on the night of
the performance to accommodate people
who have not taken the pains to accommo-
date themselves. They say it is necessary
to reserve goodly number for such
people who come after the doors open, and
not having reserved their seats, desire to
purchase sittings in the rows reserved bv
the management, and they add that this is
the practice in all the best theaters in the
country. The fact that it is the practice
adds no strength to the defense, unless the
managers announce to the public that
certain parts of the house-certain rows
are to be sold as reserved seats, which
would simply amount to making another
section and another price of admission to
the house. But when it is simply adver-
tised that reserved seats are so much, or so
much, it is not understood by the public
of Sacramento that it means certain rows
are reserved by the management. Any
other construction misleads and is unfair.
This reserved business is the cause of
more ill-feeling, loss of patronage and dis
satisfaction than anything else. If the
management of the Metropolitan, or any
other theater, simply announces price for
reserved seats, it is an imposition to make
a solitary seat as a reserve" to any who
have not prior to the opening of the doors,
taken the pains to select seats and reserve
the sitting. However the managers may
construe or defend, the general public will
continue to regard this managerial reserya-
ton as simply indirect means of gathering
in additional shekels. The way to pre-
vent all trouble and misconceptlon is, either
to reserve no seats except they are secured
prior to the opening of the doors, or else to
announce fairly and clearly that portion
of the house is reserved and sold at an ad-
yanced price. Any other method will re-
suit in loss to the management, which,
however, must be assumed to know its own
business.
