Drawing Lots for a Load of Coal at
Howa rd-Street Wharf,
The ship Columbia has since Tuesday last
been discharging her cargo of New Yelling
ton coal at H0ward-street Wharf l, ana
during that time long string of carts mas
been waiting in line to get load of the now
scarce commodity, nearly every coal-yard
in town being represented. Some OF the
men have stood in line for thirty-six hours
at stretch, and it is calculated that the ex-
ira cost they thus incurred would add about
So to each ton of coal they procured.
To cheer the waiting dealers up llttie
yesterday c. r. Allen, agent for the COAL
devised novel scheme, which caused con-
siderable excitement among them. lne
names of all the retail coal-dealers in the
city were written in book, and number
placed opposite each name. Cards on when
were corresponding numbers were placed IN
a box. 1t was announced that one number
would be drawn from the box, and the
dealer whose name was opposite that mum,
Der would be allowed to have all the coal
he could haul away from the ship IN a TWO
horse team at one load.
A committee of which P. Lynch was
Chairman was appointed from among the
dealers to supervise the affair, and at 3
o'clock all hands gathered on the dock.
Lynch mounted coal-cart and made
little speech. A little boy named Thomas
Mulcahey was then blindfulded, plunged
his hand into the box and drew out No. 256
Opposite that number in the book was the
name Of John Stumpf. a South San Fran
cisco coal dealer. John Rosenfeld gave
Mulcahey a dollar. the crowd gave three
cheers for him and for Mr.. Allen, and then
Mr.. Lynch treated all hands.
The lucky winner will be down at the
dock to-day for his load, and it is safe to say
that he will get the biggest wagon in town
and take away the biggest load Of coal ever
hauled off the dock by two horses.

STUART TAYLOR.
A tALL reporter interviewed General
Backs yesterday evening with reference to
the ab,ve, and learned from that gentleman
and hs secretary that every effort had been
madeto trace the missing book at the branch
and tie main offices. The Colonefs letter to
the bstmaster had been duly acknowl-
edged and, so far from any lack of inter
est beng shown in the matter, no pains had
been spared in the effort to trace the miss
ing Mckage. When the search was given
up by General Backus' employees all of the
paper in connection with it were sent to
the Ptstoffice Inspector, who is now making
his inquiry, but, as he is an independent
officer Of the Government, the Postmaster
couldhot say what steps he had since taken
regarding it.
In Concluding General Backus stated that
in the great majority of cases the senders
were themselves to blame for the loss of
mail natter, which is usually caused by mis-
directing the letter or package. When such
matter falls into the hands of his depart
ment every effort is made to find the party
i is intended for, or, failing in that to return
1t to the sender. This branch Of the service,
the Postmaster says, he is doing his best to
improve, and will do all he can to prevent
occasions tor complaints such as Colonel
Taylor's.

meeting Of the Regatta Committee, n.
S. G. W., was held yesterday morning for
the purpose of awarding the prizes to the
outside yachts and the fishing boats.

the Volunteer the second prize of $50 and
the Magic the third prize of $50. The prize
flag of the regatta was awarded to the
Cbispa.
When 1t came to awarding the prizes to
the Italian fishing boats the committee met
with considerable trouble. The captain of
the UmbeTtO claimed to have made the fast
est time over the course. and he undoubtedly
did, but as it was ascertained that the boat
did not round all the stake-bOatS she was
disqualified. There was quite dispute as
to which of two vessels, the Colombo and
the Garfield, was entitled to first prize. The
committee finally decided to lump the first
prize of $50 and second prize of $40 and
divided it, giving each boat $50.
The Rosetta was awarded the third prize
OF $50, the Liguria the fourth of $50, the
L'Oddio the fifth of S15 and the AgUSta the
sixth OF $40
After hearing evidence regarding the
claim of the captan OF. :he Stewart Menzies
that the Fred p. Callundan had fouled his
boat during the Whitehall race, and dsal-
loving the claim the committee awarded the
first prize to the Fred F. Callundan, Captain
Clark; the second prize 20 the Captain Sem
nett, Captain II. F. Fitzgerald; the third
piize to the George w. Lawlor, Captain j.

crowds away. For five innings the game
was close and interesting, but thereafter the
Senators hit Lookabaugh at will and won
hands down.
Hoffman kept the eight hits made off him
well scattered and struck out six men, in
Guiding Shea three times. He gave but two
bases on balls and was very effective when
men were on bases.
McHale caught superb game not a base
being stolen on him. Staplet0n, at first,
played great game, and made six great
catches of wild throws.
Lookabapgh again went in the box and
was hit hard from the start, Goodenough
getting four hits and McHale and Hoffman
three each.
Goodenough gave a fine exhibition of
base-running, stealing second twice and
