POSTOFFICE NEEDS.
The Heads of Divisions Report
on Required Improvements.

AT the Fourth of July conference held be-
tween Postmaster Backus and the heads OF
the various departments under him, Barlow
Dyer, Superintendent of the Money Order
Division, reported that he urgently needed
more room and additional clerks in his d.
vision. Under the present arrangement
the public is badly served, the clerks can
not do the business fast enough and there
is not enough space for either. There is no
security for those handling money, as each
clerk should have his desk protected by
wire railing completely enclosing it.
d. C. Owen, Superintendent of the Reg
istry Division, asked for more room and adj
ditonal help, showing by the aid OF dia-
grams how the present crowded space rem
dered accurate work very difficult A. NJ.
Cox, Superintendent of the city delivery
system, said that he needed the following
additional clerks: One clerk to Superln-
tendenl; two clerks to general delivery;
three clerks to Searchers' Department;
four clerks to Box Department; six CLERKS
to City Distributing Department; one clerk
to Dead Letter and Inquiry Department;
one clerk each to Stations A, b, c and d.
He also asked for forty additional car
riers, which he claimed are necessary to
place the service on an equality with other
cities; thirty of these would be placed on
foot routes and ten to be mounted (hOrse
and cart. Two of the mounted carriers
would be used for the relief of Potrero and
South San Francisco; two would be used as
collectors: two for outside territory not
now delivered, and four for the collection
and delivery of newspapers and packages.
Mr.. Cox further recommended that twenty
of the large new style boxes for receipt OF
packages and newspapers be placed in posi-
ton to be collected by the four carriers TO
be detailed for that purpose. He also rec
commended that there be established six adj
ditional branch postoffices, fifty additional
stamp agencies and ten new sub-statlonS
aud that the stamp clerk be Immediately
provided with an assistant. ln regard to
space MIR. Cox advised that an enclosed
porch be erected on the side of the postoflice
next the Appraisers Building for the use OF
his department., and recommended minor
changes such as the moving OF the stamp
window.
Postmaster Backus summed up the needed
improvements as the requirement OF one
clerk in the slamp-window, three in the
money-order department., one in the regis
try department, eleven in the mailing de-
partment, twenty-five in the city delivery
department.. forty new carriers and add
tiOnal allowance for ten horses; also six
additional branch POStoffices, fifty addi-
tiOnal stamp agencies and ten sub-statlons.
Mr.. Backus, in urging the improvements
upon the attention of First Assistant Post
master-General Clarkson. said that he
knew 1t would be necessary for him to
make reQuisition upon the custodian OF the
building, Collector Phelps, for the addi--
tonal room, but that lie hoped General
Clarkson would lay the necessity of the
changes before the Secretary of the Treas
ury, so that he would readily consent to
the alterations asked for.

CHILDREN AT PLAY.
Merry Day Spent With the Sisters In
Golden Gnte Park.

Golden Gnte Park.
The children of st. Francis Day Home on
Powell street and of the Sacred Heart Day
Home on Franklin street had, under the
charge of the Sisters Of the Holy Family. a
gala day last Wednesday at Golden Gate
Park. Two cars were kindly given by the
North Beach and Mission Railroad Com
pany for the special convenience of the
children of st. Francis Home and were
filled with merry little ones, whose bright
faces peeping through the windows at
tracted the attention of the passers-by.
From Eighth and Market streets a pro-
cession was formed to the convent gate on
Hayes street, where their little friends OF
the Sacred Heart Home awaited them.
Three uayes-Street cars conveyed the
picnckers to the park, where they spent
considerable time in the conservatory.
Then all went to the play ground, where
they enjoyed themselves until lunch time,
when their keen appetites were gratiisd by
the ample lunch provided for them by their
kind friends and which the sisters spread
out on long table-eloths under the trees at a
short distance from the playground. After
lunch they again returned to play. About
o'clock they wendell their way once more
through the park 10 the cars, more tired
than when they entered, but filled with a
joy pure and innocent, the recollection Of
which will be sweet to recall in after years.
The many visitors at the park that day
remarked the appearance and discipline of
the little ones, who showed the most un-
questioning obedience, which is no small
tribute of praise to such large number of
children, the majority Of whose ages ranged
from 3 to years, number being still
younger. For the joyful day spent by their
charges the sisters wish to express their
sincere gratitude to all who assisted them
so generously in providing for them.

Waves of Discussion over the Results of
the Regatta.
The excitement of the regatta over, the
oarsmen have settled down to everyday af-
fairs. The South End amateur four chafe
considerably over defeat by the Ariels, but
promise to come to the scratch next time in
much better form. The amateur champion
cup has been won twice each by the South
End and Ariel clubs. Should either of
these clubs win it again, it will become their
property
Edward Heenan of the Pioneers has pur-
chased the historic craft County Sligo"
from Mike Long. Heenan intends to 60
after Stokes. the winner Of Fridays single
Scull race.
Speaking of O'Connor's defeat by STAINS
bury, the sculliDg championship is likely to
remain Tor some time where Hanlan left It.
OF the ten men who compose Yale's
champion crew all but two are 6 feet and
over in height The lightest man is bow,
159 pounds. and the heaviest, No. 6, is 1856
pounds. The average weight OF the crew is
1854 pounds, or Just six ounces heavier
than their late opponents, the Harvards,
who averaged 172% pounds.
Advices from England are that Pasotto,
the American amateur, is in splendid fix
for the race on July 9th at Henley on the
Thames.
Hanldn, Teemer, HOSmer, Gauiaur, Lee,
Ten Eyk and Hamm nave entered for the
Duluth Superior regatta OIL July 2lst to
Goth. The purse for the single-scull race is
$3.50, divided as follows: First $3.50; sec
ond, $500; third, 500 Double sculls, the
winners will receive $1,000. the second crew
$3.50 and the third $3.50. FOur-oared shell,
rrst boat, $1,000; second, $500, and $500 to
the third. The course is pronounced one of
the finest in the world.
The professional singe-scull race last Fri
day converted Charles Peterson to the
theory that in order to win q fellow must
have as good boat as his opponent. Char
ley says that he had an old hulk, and when
lie struck the rough water off the cattle
wharf he became more anxious to elude
Coroner Eaton than win first money. Some
OF the boys who were looking at the race
are of the opinion that Growney pushed
Young Pete" so hatd that the latter lost
his head and tumbled cut of his boat.

Lawyers Scored for Making an Ignorant
Use of the Same.
In decision handed down yesterday in
the case Of Sayers vs.. the Superior Court
of this city and county, the Supreme Court
took the occasion to mildly score the prac-
tice of careless attorneys, who bring, for
the purpose of correcting mere errors of
law, writs of certiorari which are intended
only to test the question of jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court expresses the hope that
they will not again so offend, since it causes
needless labor and annoyance. In the case
in question such a writ was asked for to
present the Superior Court from Furnishing
Attorney Savers for contempt in not return
ing $3.50 fee when ordered to do so, Savers
claiming that the scourt had no legal right
to make the order. The Supreme Court
denied the writ

As letie sports and pastimes have had
ASN ample opportunity during the
week to fully satisfy their individual
special fancies. With the exception
of a sanguinary and fatal slogging
match to finish every prominent sport
could have been witnessed on the Fourth,
and he who was not pleased must have in
deed been hard TO satisfy. Such full and
detailed accounts Of last Fridays games
were given in THE CALL yesterday that
there is nothing to be added. After storm
there always comes lull. and from now on
for some little time there will be a season
Of quietness in athletic circles, outside of
the club boxing exhibitions.
The California Athletic Club is said TO
have decided to be the one to bell the cat
and test the power Of the municipal and
State authorities in stopping the glove con-
tests, whether for a money prize, medal,
OF simply for honor. Next Wednesday
night Will be a most eventful one for the
clubs Then it viii be decided, according
TO the latest on dit, whether they will con-
Inue to flourish as in the past. or go out Of
existence. The California Clubs plan is
said to be to at once bring matters to a
head on the evening above named by giving
glove contest at its rooms 1t is expected
that the principals, seconds, referee, time
keeper, club officials and number of the
audience will be arrested as soon as the
contest begins.
All hands will at once be released on
bonds, such arrangements having already
been made. The clubs lawyers will press
the case in the Police Court. If the defend
ants are held to answer and convicted it
will probably mean disbandment of all
the athletic clubs. Ii acquitted the exhibit
tions viii be resumed as in the past Such,
at least, is the schedule said to have been
mapped out by the club. 1t is fully recog
nzed by the club that something must be
done and that at once to determine its
standing. If it can give no more exhibit
tons the clubs main object no longer exists,
as it is freely admitted that it is only the
contests that attract the members and keep
them Oh the subscription rolls. AS the say
ing is: mo glove contests, no California

An attempt, however. may be made TO
substitute wrestling matches for the glove
fights. Ii made it is certain to prove a
failure. The public of San Francisco has
