AT TEE SWIMMING BATHS
A Large and Enthusiastic Attendance
al the Reopening.
Many improvements for the Comfort
Of GuestS-W Wholesale Thcfts
of Bathing Costumes.

The Sacramento Swimming Bath Asso-
ciation, after closing Of the baths for
three days for repairs, reopened them
yesterday to an excellent attendance.
At night there was an immense crowd
present, and it was impossible 20 accom-
modate patrons as fast as they applied.
From Z to 8 o'clock every dressing room
was occupied, and had engagements at
times three and four deep. At s O'Clock
the bathers were so thick in the water as
to defy all attempts to count them.
Important improvements have been
made. The drain channels have been
lined with metal on the floor side; the
landing stages have been all repainted
and made water-tight. Over these floors,
for the entire circuit of the tank, stout
slat coverings have been placed through
which all the drip passes, so that the
spectators feet remain dry, ana bathcrs
on coming from the bath cannot slip.
4 heater has been placed beneath the
hot water supply tank. 1t will be more
economic than the former method OF con
Quoting steam long distance to warm
the water, and will heat it better and
more quickly.
On taking an inventory, Superintend-
ent Willis finds that in the two weeks the
baths have been open, no less than los
bathing suits have been carried off, q
dead loss to the association of a very con-
siderable sum. If purloining should
continue at that rate for year, the loss,
with the loss of towels, which thus far
has been over twelve dozen, would
amount to $1,000. Methods will be
adopted to detect the guilty hereafter, and
probably to their sorrow.
There were some fine exhibitions OF
aquatic athletics last night by skilled
divers and swimmers.
Of all the ladies in the tank last even
ing only one could be said to be a fairly
good swimmer, the majority not being
able to swim at all-proying how neces-
sary are these baths, and how mach neg
lected has been the physical education OF
our women.

IRRIGATING pITCHES-
How the Board OF Equalization Thinks
They should be Assessed.


a. T. Lightner, Assessor of Kern
County, appeared before the State Board of
Equalization yesterday to explain his
system of assessing the property in the
county. S. w. Ferguson, representing
j. B. Haggin's interests; Senator Fred
Cox and Crawford J. Cox, extensive
land owners in the county, were also
present.
The board inquired particularly into
the manner in which Mr.. Lightner as
sessed the various irrigating bitches III
his district, and lengthy discussion en-
sued. Mr.. Iightner said he had only
been in office about four months, but he
really believed his hair was turning gray
on account of continual study as TO the
proper mode of assessing the property in
the county. 1t was his idea that the
bitches should either be assessed for
nothing, or else for their full value, and
to estimate their worth was the question
which bothered him. 1t was a we'll
known fact that since the bitches were
put in, the property which they bene-
flied was increased in value nearly ten
fold, bat it was a question as to whether
or not the bitches were any the more
valuable.
The members of the board considered
that the value of the lands that could be
irrigated from the bitches was good
basis on which TO figure on assessing the
canals or irrigating bitches, and they so
informed Mr.. Lightner.
Almost the entire afternoon was taken
up in questioning the Assessor, and the
board, as usual, took the matter under
advisement.

RIVAL sU1TORS

They Have Fight and Tell Their
Troubles to District Attorney Ryan,
T. T. Slater, who keeps dairy near
East Park, called at the District Attor-
ney's Office yesterday and asked that a
complaint be drawn up against William
Spillman, who drives bakery wagon.
Slater wanted the bakery wagon man
charged with battery, explaining that he
had been assaulted by that individual.
District Attorney Ryan heard Slater's
story throughout and then sent for Spill
man. The latter gave an entirely differ-
cnt version of the affair, and accused
Slater of being the aggressor.
After sitting both stories the result was
about as follows: a young lady, Miss
Clark, is at the bottom of it all. Slater
and SpIllman are rival lovers, so il ap-
Dears. Miss Clark resides near Slater S
Mace. and when Spillman called on her
Slater became demonstratively Jealous.
He took Spillman to task, and fight
ensued. There were no witnesses to the
ecuffle. and District Attorney Ryan could
not ascertain who WAS to blame. In con-
eequence, he refused to prosecute either
,,f the men.
