Overwhelming Defeat of the Oakiands by
the California g

Overwhelming Defeat of the Oakiands by
the California :.
Tt was the same old story at Golden Gate
Yesterday. The CALIFORNIA; dismissed their
opponents for an insignificant score, and
then enjoyed themselves for the rest of the
afternoon, hitting the ball to all quarters of
the field. They have not been given a good
fight yet, and the prospects Of close match
grow simmer and simmer as the season
advances.
Their opponents yesterday were the Oak
lands, who made such poor resistance 10
the medium-paced tTundling Of Robertson,
and the l0bs of Blagrave, that the whole
side were out for 81. Robertson took eight
Of the wckets at a trifling cost. The Cali
fOrnias responded With 246 for eight wick
cts
From yesterdays play it is evident that
R0beTtSOu'S century is only the fOTe-Tunner
OF several Others during the season. Two
batsmen, Gadesden and Sl0man, looked
Ike making the coveted hundred yesterday,
and SiOman would most probably have ac-
CCnp.ished the feat if he had had sufficient
time. Gadesden has not before been prom
iuent as q batsman. He has put together
one or two fair scores, but had done moth
ing previously to compare with his batting
yesterday. he had his share of luck at the
start and was beaten at least twice by balls
which lust missed the wicket and be gave
a hard chance II "mid-Otf when he had
scored ten. Then he settled down and the
later part Of his runs Was obtained by hard
determined hitting.
Sloman's was vigorous display, put to-
gether without single chance and very
few fuky hits. Besides the TWO batsmen
named BlagTave knocked % quickly and
Robertson repeated the performance Of last
week, going in last and making long stand
for the last wicket. Jacklin bOwled well

Little Done on the Bay Yesterday-A

Few Of the clubmen Yentured out in their
boats yesterday. The Pioneers and Ariels
took a spin in their barges, while the Dol
phins held picnic across the bay which
was well attended.
The South End Club received their new
barge last week. and the boys have good
reasons to be proud of her, as she is without
doubt the best boat ever seen on the Coast.

fessional crew took a spin in her in the
forenoon, and in the afternoon the amateur
crew went out in her. Both crews were
loud in her praises. and say she is the fast
est on the Coast. She is also % per cent
lighter than any other barge on the bay.
She will cost the club $3.50, and will be chris
tened the South End, after the club.

jinks On Sunday June 7th. The pro-
gramme will consist OF singing, dancing,

Muriah, King of Ireland. 1t was for its re-

Of Limerick. Another large piece is in

Hold un the Berries.

1t is not only wise and happy thing to
make the best of life and always look on
the bright side for ones own sake, but it is
a blessing to others.
Fancy man forever telling his family
how much they cost himl A little sermon
on this subject was unc0nsciousy preached
by child one day.
A man met little fellow on the road car
ryng a basket of blackber and said TO
him, Sammy. where did you get such nice
beTries?"
Over there, sir, In the briers."
Wont your mother be glad to see you
come home with basket Of such nice ripe
fruit?"
Eyes, sir" said Sammy, "she always
seems glad when hold up the berries. and
don't tell her anything about the briers in

The man rode on. Sammy's remark had
given him lesson and he resolved that
henceforth he would try and no Id up the
berries and say nothing about the briers.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN DIMES.
That Is the sum Hidden in the Little
Nickel savings Banks.

mat Is tn e sum Hidden In the Little
Nickel Savings Banks.
''NO0ne Ould suppose that such a triling
thing as the little 1O-cent banks that are be-
ing sold at all the tOy-shOps and on the
street corners would have a tendency to en-
barrass the Treasury Department in circu-
lating fractional currency" remarked
Treasury official to-day, ''and yet such is
the case.
''These little banks have absorbed so
many 10-cent pieces that the Treasury can
not supply the demand for this particular
coin. These banks were introduced not
many weeks ago, and tens Of thousands of
them are now in the hands Of the children.
and every child seems eager to fill them to
the top TO see them flip open and display a
fortune Of So 1t is estimated that there
are $1,000 IN dimes hidden away in these
pOcket-banks to-day, and there appears to
be no way TO draw on this reserve until the
bank is glutted TO its full capacity.
1T Is getting 10 be craze" he continued.
Il was coming down from The hill the other
day on hOr>e-car, and an old lady slipped
one OF those toy repositories out Of her
black silk handbag and cautiously slipped
two dimes into its mouth, the exact change
she had received from the conductor
Ordinarily this ancient female would have
paid her fare in tickets; but she had the
craze and wanted the change.
why, every other woman in the build
ing has a bank, and lots of the men, too.
There are a thousand dime banks in
active operation in the department alone,
and thousands in the other depart
ments, and ten thousand more in the
hands Of Washington children, and every
one Of them has Wide-Open mouth, yawn-
ing 10 devOur the fractional coin. 1t is esti-
mated that % per cent of the dimes that
were in circulation three months ago in the
city have been banked in these tubular de-
postOries and the cry is for more.
The craze" he concluded, "has affected
other cities, too. Baltimore, New York,
Philadelphia and large commercial towns
are sOTely put 10 it for change of this unit
Of value. This demand is giving the bank

The temperance people of this city are
agitating an amendment to the liquor-!cense
ordinance, by which it will be made more
strict. The ordinance at present requires
the signature of but five residents in the
neighborhood on an application for saloon
license, and the temperance people want the
number of signatures increased to major
ity. They also wish that no saloons be al
lowed in the neighborhood of a school, and
that no saloon be allowed in the rear of
grocery. A petition asking the City Trust
ees to make these changes in the ordinance
is now being circulated for signatures. This
evening the temperance people will hold
