INDUSTRIAL FAIR.
Large Number of Visitors Inspect the
Eth

Large Number of Visitors Inspect the
Exhibits.
The attendance at the Industrial Expo
Sition of the Mechanics Institute was above
the average for the opening week, and it
was estimated that about 1000 people visited
the Pavilion last evening.
The visitors examined the various exhibits,
and were particularly interested in the art
features of the fair. A free lantern show is
held half hourly in the west gallery. and
affords much entertainment to the spectators.
The child cornetist. Miss Jessie Millar,
played two solos in the afternoon and again
in the evening, securing Well-mertsd encores
on each occasion. The young lady brings
out the sweet tones of the instrument which
she handles like veteran.
Although every foot Of available space
has been taken by exhibitors, some of the
latter are rather tardy in erecting stalls and
arranging their exhibits. A number of new
features were added to the fair yesterday,
and in a day or two everything will probably
be Ia place.

FELINE INTELLIGENCE.
How Cat Left at Vallejo Made His Way
to This City.

How Cat Left at Vallejo Made His Way
to This City.
Talk of intelligence displayed by various
animals" said a weil-known shipping man
10 a CALL reporter yesterday, There is
cat on board the steamer -Sunol that is hard
TO beat in that line. The animal is years
old and is owned by the cook of the steamer
and was raised by him. All its life has been
spent on board vessels and it has made
some long trips away from San Francisco.
No deck hand on board the steamer knows
when it is meal time better than does Tom
the cat. When the steamer is lying at the
wharf Tom often goes ashore on rafting
expedition and more than once has been left
behind, but when the boat returned next
day Tom was always on the wharf ready to
90 on board.
Last Thursday morning when the boat
left Vallejo Tom was ashore, and much TO
his disgust no doubt, was left. He was rot
content TO remain in Vallejo until the boat
returned at night. but how to come to San
Francisco was a problem that would have
puzzled many human being with average
intelligence. Tom found a way, however.
The steamer belongs to Piper, Alden & Co.,
who also own number of sailing craft, and
one OF their se0wS was at the wharf al Y a
lejO al the time loading for Oakland. Be-
fore the vessel sailed Tom went on board
crew to drive him ashore.
The cat would not make friends with
any one, and refused to eat food offered it
by the crew. No sooner did the scow reach
the Oakland Mole, about l o'clock in the
afternoon, than Tom jumped ashore and dis
appeared At 2:30 O'clock on the same day
Tom walked on board the Sunol at Vallejo
street Wharf. much to the delight OF both
himself and his owner, who was at a loss to
explain how his pet, which he had left nj
Vallejo, had made its way TO the city. just
before the boat sailed the captain of the
scow on which Tom had come from Vallejo
to Oakland had occasion TO speak to his en-
ployer. Mr.. Piper. whom he found on the
NallejO-street Wharf, and, knowing to
whom the cat belonged. told the cook that
his pet was in Oakland. and how it had come
there"
His surprise can be imagined when he
was informed that the cat had been on board
for some time. How the cat came across
the bay is mystery, as the cook claims
that an animal with the intelligence shown
by Tom would never patronize a boat
owned by the Southern Pacific Company
which for some time has been running OPP
position TO boats owned by Piper, Alden &
Co., and on which its owner is employed,

ORGANIZED LABOR,
Striking SteyedOres Expect Soon
to Gain a Victory.

The striking steamship stevedores are
confident of soon having their demand for
40 cents an hour and 60 cents for overtime
granted by the employers. Meetings of the
union are held nightly, and since the inita-
ton fee has been reduced to % cents 80
have joined and it is expected that the union
will have 1000 men in its ranks within a
week.
The work of unloading the Acapulco,
which arrived yesterday and berthed at the
Mail Dock, was commenced with non-union
men. Everything was quiet at the Oregon
Dock, and force of green hands was en-
gagged discharging the cargo of the State of
California. Recruits were also at work at
Broadway Wharf.
To prevent Interference with the nom
union men arrangements have been made to
feed and house them on the Mail and Oregon
docks. The union cooks and walters en-
ployed upon the steamers, however. refuse
to cook for or wait upon the men employed
to fill the place of the strikers.
There will be an important meeting of the
Water Front Council tonight, when active
measures to assist the steyedOres will be
considered.
