The Oakland Club Enjoys Days Sport
With the Dogs.
An Oakland conrSing club had quite a
day Of it at ?. Can0von's PARK yesterday.
The stake was a fOurteen-dog one, at S.
each. The grounds of the park were in
fine order, the weather was very pleasant,
and quite a large crowd was in attendance,
notwithstanding the fact that there was a
charge of % cents entrance money for all
who had not dog in the stake.
The whole business was managed by the
members of the club. They did their OVID
judging. slipping and stewarding, and car
Ted out the whole programme without the
assistance of any outsider, and If the Judg-
ing was not according 10 the can0nS lald
down in the rules of courslng, as praetlced
by Mr.. Grace, or the slipping according to
linn Wren's idea of the use of the leash, or
the training of the dogs up to the standard
followed by Mr. CrOnin or Mr.. COoney, or
if tile hares were not such flyers as are
sometimes TO be found on the MERGED
plains it must be admitted that the meeting
was success, and that all who took part
in it eDi0yed themselves well and seemed
thoroughly satisfied with their days outing.
OF the dogs engaged, George Washington
(the WinneT), Oakland Chief, Castle Golan
and Spring were undoubtedly the best Of
the lot. Few if any Of the courses were of
Sunlclent duration 10 try the power or SIAM
ina of the dogs. The hares, as is generally
found to be the case at this season of the

How Rich People Evade Paying Duty on
Valuable Stones.
Talking about smuggling reminds me OF
a trick | saw Tesorted to by passenger on
one of the big Cunarders couple of months
ago." said commercial traveller yesterday.
You know there is heavy duty on dia-
mondS and one of the parties on board the
steamer had three large stones, worth nearly
$4,000, which he had purchased in London.
The problem of how to evade paying duty
on the stones worried HIM considerably, but
at last he hit on plan. and the day before
the steamer arrived in New ! ork he pro-
ceeded to carry it out.
The chief officer had little skye terrier,
and the passenger, sitter considerable coax
ing, induced the mate TO sell him the dog.
As soon as he gained possession OF the ami
nal he at once tied HIM up and gave him
nothing to eat until just before we were
going ashore. He then procured some fat
meat from the cook, aud cutting of piece
little larger than walnut made hole in
it into which he placed one of the diamonds
a dog will generally bolt piece of fat
without chewing it, and of course the dia-
mond would go down with it. The hungry
dog swallowed the meat just as his owner
expected be would, and in short time tie
three diamonds were safely slowed away in
his interior. Inc diamond SmHggler had no
difficulty in passing the Cust0m-house Off
ciais, and was soon ON his way uptown lead

of curiosity asked him how he recovered the
stones.
Easily enough" he replied. " AS soon
as got home shot the dog and recovered

cheap and the tariff on stones is high, and |

Brigadier- August Y. Kautz, re-
Gently promoted from the Colonelcy Of the
Eighth Infantry upon the retirement of
Brigadier-G General John GibboD, is an able
officer who has seen important service
dating from the war with Mexico. He was
born in Isprigen in the Grand Duchy OF

was brought to this country before he was
one year old, his parents settling in Brown
County, Ohio.
When youth he enlisted as private in
the First Regiment, Ohio Volunteers, and
served in the war with Mexico. Upon his
discharge he was appointed TO the United
States Military Academy and upon gradua-

Their Opinions as TO Their Pas.
tors Guilt.

Rev. Dr. Ellis, the pastor Of the Central
Presbyterian Church who has had nOtOriety
thrust upon him by his Brethren, and who
has been tried and censured for certain grave
offenses by the PresbyteTy, was greeted by
a very small congregation when he entered
his pulpit last night.
There was evidence that the faithful few
who assembled to listen to him did not share
in the condemnation Of their pastor as tried
by his reverend brethren. The pulpit plat
form was fringed and fragrant with roses
and lilies, and the holy table was hidden
under a mass Of flowers and vines.
The congregation Is divided on the ques-
tiOn Of their pastors guilt, some ndOrSing
the verdict of his reverend judge, and others
StOuty maintaining that he is an innocent
and injured man. Neither at the morning
nor al the evening service did DIR. Ellis make
any alluSion TO his trial or its result
The subject of his evening sermon was
the futiitty If any attempt to destroy the
word of God or its effects. He told the
story of the Hebrew King who received
JeTemiah'S written prophecy of the de-
stTuctIOn OF Jerusalem, and after cutting il
into pieces with a pen-knife cast it into the
fire, thinking that by destroying the
prophecy he destroyed Its effect, but the
prophet was commanded to rewrite his
forecast, and the day came when Jerusalem
was heap Of ruiAs.
Since that attempt to destroy the word
many others have been made. The greatest
of these was the attempt to kill the author
of the word on the cross; for Christ was
the author of both the old and the new
testaments. They are but the unfolding of
the life OF Jesus OF Nazageth, the Son Of
God.
In the days of the Huguenots the sword
was used against the word; yet the word
prevailed. Then the genius of brilliant
men, sucn as Foltaire and Paine, strove
against it, yet prevailed not In our day
science was summoned by Ingersoll to show
the mistakes of Moses; yet science, after
twenty-five years Of research, confesses that
Iugersoll was wrong and Moses was right.
In this way DR.. Ellis demons rated the
futility Of any attempt to destroy the word
of God, and charged his hearers to take heed
that they, in refusing to heed the word and
become Christians, were following the ex-
ample Of the foolish King with the pen
knife.

SINGLE Tax Society.

The Single Tax Society held its regular
weekly meeting in Pythan Castle last
night. II. i. Pleace in his opening remarks
stated that the principles advocated by the
society were the abolition Of all taxes upon
industry and the products of industry, and
placing of a single tax ON the value of land,
irrespective of improvements. The single
tax would call upon men to contribute to
the public revenues, not in proportion to
what they produce OF accumulate but in
proportion to the value of the natural op-
pOrtunities they hold. The remainder Of
the programme was as follows: Iustru-

The Alameda Cricket Club played against
the California eleven for the frst time
yesterday and sustained a crushing defeat.
They had perhaps the worst Of the luck, and
the teams are no doubt more on level than
tie score Of yesterdays game shows, but
there is no doubt that the better club won
and that the CALIFORNIA; are a very strong
lot in every department of the game
The CALIFORNIA; owed their overwhelming
success to the playing of w. Robertson,
who. besides performing the. remarkable
bowling feat OF taking six wickets for Eve
runs, put together the fine score of 136.
This is by far the largest individual innings
ever made on the Coast and the first cen
fury" scored by any local cricketer.
1t was a finely played innings, too, apart
from the big figures reached. Robertson
made his runs by good, sterling cricket,
taking no undue liberties and Furnishing
loose balls hard. He gave a chance when
he had made about 80 and two others after
reaching his 100. when he commenced 10
play caTeiessly, but these blemishes ala not
detract from what was a wonderfully tine
performance.
Aside from the hitting of Robertson the
game was so one sided that 1t presented
little Of interest. The Alamedas won the
loss and Hood elected to bat Half an hour
saw the whole side out for "a runs. The

Wiekets for the rest of the afternoon and

Second Regular Contest Of the Recreation

The Recreation Gun Club of San Fran

Oakland race-track yesterday afternoon.
The day was perfected, the attendance
good, the traps worked well, the birds be
haved admirably, in fact everything Gem
bined to provide very enjoyable outing.
On the whole the scores of yesterday
we're far above the average, though several
of the best shots failed 10 do anything like
coed work, presumably from lack Of prae-
tlce. Mr.. Coffin especially made a poor
showing for one who IN the past has earned
: a most enyiable reputation as a crack shot.
Throughout the match the rules Of trap
shooting were enforced with severity to
which the members were unaccuStOmed, and
a large number of mo birds" was called
by the referee for such slight deYiati0ns as
a BAD position OF the gun. The business OF
the decisions, however, was not questioned
In a single instance, and the memb eTS all
seemed willing 10 see the laws governing
wing shooting 0beyed to the letter.
