WATER WORKS MACHINERY.
EXPERTS DECLARE IT IS INADEQUATE
TO THE DEMAND.
An Auxiliary Pump Claimed to be Nee
essary-The Trustees to Consider
the Matter.

G. A. Stoddard and E. NJ. Luckett. the
experts selected last week BY the City
Board OF Trustees to examine the Stevens
pump, yesterday submitted the following
, report, which was read at the Trustees ses-
siop
At the request of Trustee Wolf we have care

use supplying the city with water, and beg

strong presumptiye evidence If overwork.

The channel way has a defect, but was re-
paired about two years ago, and has since given

To make this pump safe for main reliance and

expense, besides being thrown out of service for
perhaps month or more. But we believe it

creasing) during The summer months, and
especially in case of fire.
On motion of Trustee Wolf, it was or.
dered that a special meeting of the Board
be held tomorrow evening. when the ad-
visibility of purchasing new pump will be
discussed. The experts and number of
former engineers of the Water works will
be requested to attend the meeting and

ADJUSTMENTS.

Nearly thousand people were in the
/ Clunie Opera House last night to witness
the performance of the oldtime, pathetic
drama, THE Pearl Of Savoy" by Eunice
Goodrich and her company. If one had
faced the audience from the orchestra IT,
| closure he could not have discovered the
faces of five usual theater goers. Nearly
all of the very large audience were people
one seldom sees in the theater. They were
the people who desire dramatic entertain
| ment and cannot or will not pay the STAN
dard prices, but will fill euditoriums when
the admission fee is very INV. Miss Good
rich has neither improved or Geteriorated
as an actress. The role she assumed last
night is not so well suited TO her method
as the more modern ones in which she will
appear for the remainder of the week.
That she is clever and entertaining actress,
but without briliiancy, will not be ques-
toned. Without discussing her dramatic
qualities, however, at this time, it is to be
noted that she pleased her audience last
night and held it in content with the enter
tainmeut through five sets. In comedy
it may be expected that she will create
some greater degree of interest. By an
audience of regular theater gGers she would
De compared with models she cannotequal,
but that she pleases the unaccustomed
theater-goers was manifest last night. Her
support was Indifferent, except in the cases
of Mr.. Mccain, Mr.. Jackson and Miss
Kendall, who are good stock-the latter
notably divided honors with Miss Good
rich. The musical portion of the enter
tainment was by Mr.. OFT, who played upon
variety of instruments, one, the "Kala-
mazoo"-that is like nothing that was ever
before conceived by the Imagination of
man or the wit of the inventor Tonight
Miss Goodrich appears in the play, Dads
Boy" 1t is not the same which she played
here two years ago, but it is new drama
under the old title. In it she takes the role
of boy. in which character she has been
very successful. One act purports to ex-
pose cruelties practiced at one time in
Birmingham England Jail.

THE sMUDGE NUISANCE.

Rubbish Fires Must Be Suppressed, Say
the Trustees
Attention has several times of late been
called to the persistent violation of the or
dinance against burning leaves and other
rubbish late in the day.
The matter was brought up at yesterday
afternoons session of the City Trustees,
and it was given out as the expression
of the members that the nuisance must
be suppressed, and that the police must
do their duty and arrest offenders.
Leaves and rubbish can be burned up to
abont o'clock in the afternoon without
serious discomfort to the public, but after
that hour all smoldering fires should be
extinguished. The dense smoke that set
ties throughout the city is very distressing,
and even dangerous, to persons with throat
or lung complaints, as well as to sll in.

HE Is AN ENTHUSIAST.


President Scott of the Amateur Athletic
Association in Town.
Walter 4. Scott, the well-known expo
neht of athletics, President Of the Pacific
Coast Athletic Association, and the holder
of several Pacific coast records, was in
town yesterday.
Last evening he visited the rooms of the
Sacramento Athletic Club and, as it was a
regular class night and there was large
attendance of the clubs members, he could
not resist the temptation to peel off and
join in the exercises with them. During
the evening he kindly consented to devote
an hour or so to instructing the Sacra-
mento boys in the mysteries Of scientific
running, hurdle-jumping, aud particularly
in starting for race. As Mr.. Scott is oae
of the best athletes on the coast. and has
the happy faculty of knowing how to i'm
part his knowledge of the business to
others, the local men received many
pointers" that will be of great val ne to
them in the future.
Square honest amateur athletics were
| never in more healthier and prosperous
condition in California than at the present
| time" said President Scott. during con-
yersaion With RECORD UNION reporter.
1T has taken years Of hard aud than kless
work and patience in the face-.of many
| obstacles to bring it about, but you know
| how success is always the reward of perse-
versnce. At one time l almost despaired
of ever living to see the day when the Pa
cihc coast amateur athletics would reach
that pure and exalted hight that they have
attained in the East and England.
We have had so much to contend
| with, in the shape of unscruplous pro-
| fessionalism, and the like. But now,
through the logged perseverance and
tenaciiy of. the Olympic Club of San
Francisco, we are on level with any of
the organizations of the East We have
as many good, and superior, athletes (as
orr records will show and have no doubt
in the world that in few years-thanks to
our glorious climate, and the hardness of
our rising Observation-Disclosures will be
looked up to as the greatest field of genu-
inc, clean sport on the face of the earth.''
Mr.. Scott was enthusiastic in his praise
of the gallant work done by the Sacra-
mento clubs representatives recently at the
Pacific coast boxing tournament, and pre-
dicted that in future the San Francisco
Oakland, San Jose and other association
clubs would have to produce some world
heaters in order 10 keep the champion
ship medals from all going to Sacramento

The other Director, A. Abbott, was unavoid-
ably absent from the city, but was represented
by proxy. The meeting was presided over
BY the temporary President, c. A. 4oerk,
and the following officers were elected: Z.

After considerable discussion it was de-
cided to proceed to incorporate, under the
laws of the State, at once, with capital
stock of s25, 900, nearly $4,000 of which
has already been subscribed. A number Of
gentlemen who have not yet subscribed to
the stock have signified their intention to
do SO, and the Directors apprehend no diff
Guilty whatever in securing the amount de-
sired. Those who have interested them
selves in the matter will be glad to learn
that there is now every prospect that the
baths will be open to the public in the

The Meetings Continue to be Largely At
tended-Profession of Faith.
The union revival meeting at the Sixth.
street Methodist Church last night was
largely attended, and of much interest. II
was conducted by Charles N. Crittenton, the
New York evangelist, who is celebrated as
the founder of the Florence Nightingale
Mission in that city. Mr.. Crittenton read
one of the Psalms, and, without attempting
any topical discourse, proceeded in sim
pie, earnest manner to appeal to the IN
converted to make a start for heaven. He
is not pulpit orator, but he speaks with
such an unaffected eloquence, and displays
such deep feeling, that he soon brings him
self into complete sympathy with his audi
ence.
The revival services under his leader
ship have now been in rogress more than
a week, and appears to be daily gaining in
scope and power. More than thirty per-
sons have made a profession of faith, and
last evening several more avowed their in
tention of so doing.
AT the close of Mr.. Crittenton's remarks
there was an after-service of conservation,
testimony and song, which was very gener-
ally participated in by those present.
These meetings will continue during the
week, and in connection with them there
will be conservation services at the Central
NJ. Z. Church, on Eleventh street, at go
every afternoon.
