7EW YORK, JULY 15.-I LIKE TO
III go about this summer because people
TX look 80 interesting. That is a very
y different thing, as you know, from
saying they look beautiful. In fact, they
don't look beautiful, because hip ~tiounoes
and mud rutf1es are not commonly becom-
ing; but the flower brocades, and the shot
silks and the blossom covered hats and the
paniers and the p~arasols are certainly in
teresting.

were printed upon it, but the feature of the
dress was its lavish use of velvet ribbon to
trim the bodice; the ribbons were wide, and
they were of q deep brown; they crossed
upon the back, coming over the shoulders
and under the arms and joining company
between the shoulder blades in a great DOW.

pose of celebrating the event mentioned
For the last six years no meetings have
been held, but this year the war in Chile
has revived interest in the Junta, and it Is
proposed to keep up the idea for which it
was organized. The meeting last night was
held with closed doors, no one being admit

AT the meeting last night the following
officers were elected: President, Antonio
b. Gonzales; Vice-P President, A. d. SpivalO ;
Secretary, j. b. Leith; Treasurer, Juan Nj.
Luca. After the election of officers 1t was

THE PUGILISTS.
Betting on the Fights About to
Come Off.

Poolselling on the fights that will take
place at the Occidental and the Pacific clubs
began last evening Mitchell sold a strong
favorite against Gallagher; he brought
800 against $50 on his opponent. The
betting on the Davis and Wood fight favored
the former slightly. Some pools were also
sold on the McAuiiffe and Gibbons match,
which will be decided this evening in the
Granite CLUB, Hoboken, n. Y. McAuliffe
was sold at 500 against $50 on Gibbons.
A weA-knOwn member of the Olympic
Club informed representative OF this paper
last evening that Billy Maber, the Austria
liam pugilist, was bested by Bob McA Arthur,
the amateur boxer, not very long ago in a
thinking of engaging Maber as its boxing
instructor, and to give the boys whose
principal amusement is boxing an oppor-
tunity TO see the Australian perform, the
latter was put against Macarthur, who
forced the professional TO pull off his mlttens
at the end of the fourth round. In this
connection it must be remembered that Nc
Arthur is, at the least calculation, fifteen
pound heavier man than Maber.
The Olympic Club Will give one of the
best amateur boxing nights ever witnessed
in this city next month. Already fifteen
special matches are assured, and Judging
from the way entries are coming in it will
take three nights to decide the different
matches.
As preliminary to the Woods ana Davis
match at the Pacific Club Jimmy Lawson
(cOlored) and Tom Breslin will box ten
rounds.
The gymnasium Of the Occidental Ath-
letic Club now presents some what invit-
ing appearance Two large rows OF lockers
have been constructed in the south end of
the hall adjoining the bathroom, which has
hefn rpcputly erected.

SHOT FROM BEHIND.
HON All Tarn, a Laundryman,
Murdered i'm Cold Blood.

At o'clock last evening HON All Tarn, a
young Chinese laundrymaD, was shot and
almost instantly killed by one Of his coun-
trymep, who has not been located yet. The
shooting took rlace in the wash-house Of
Sing Kee at 904 Pacific street. where the
dead man has been employed for two years
past.
Tarn was sitting on stool just inside the
door of the wash smoking his pipe
and looking out into Pacific street. There
were nearly dozen other Cinnamon
perched on benches ranged along the wall
on either side Of the room. They were also
employed in the laundry, and together with
Tarn had just finished eating supper. The
man who shot Tarn had evidently stepped
up behind his victim and spoken to him. As
the latter turned the muzzle of a revolver
was placed against his head and the weapon
discharged.
The bullet entered Just above the left eye.
and the flesh around the wound is burned
aud blackened with powder Officers Dwyer
and J. e. Hall were patrollng Pacific street,
near Stockton, when they heard the shot.
When they reached the scene All Tarn lay
gasping In the doorway, while his compan-
ions sat quietly on the benches and con-
tnued TO smoke as ii nothing had happened.
The patrol-wagon was sent for and the
wounded man taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, where he died in few minutes.
The officers arrested eight Cinnamon who
were in the room when they arrived. Among
them was Sing Kee, proprietor Of the wash
house. He and his companions were taken
to the City Prison. When questioned in
regard to the shooting. they disciaimed all
knowledge of the affair. One of them sa i'd
that a small white boy did the shooting
from the street, but the statement is re-
garded by the officers as a Celestial fairy
tale.
All the circumstances show that the shot
was fired inside the room and in the pres.
ence of Sing Kee and his employees. X.
Girard, a locksmith next door, heard the
shut and Immediately looked into the street,
but there was no one in sight but a woman
with a child who was hurrying across the
street opposite the wash-honse, and the off
GERS coming up from Stockton street. A
person by the name of Nom: - no was with
Girard, c6rroDorated his statement. The
theory of the murder is that the ASSASSIN
after firing the shot escaped by the back
way. HON TarD, the murdered man, Is
about % years of age.

of the purse, and who have been making
good scores, are Elliott, Ro Johnson. Merrill,
Haas, Chick, Bradley and the two Smiths.
Such a contest would also create wide
spread interest, and large number of
sportSmen are anxious to have such match
take place at the Oakland track.
Elliott is probably the best trap shot in
America. His home is Kansas City, and he
is now the holder of the American Field
championship cap, which, according to the
rules governing the prize, must be held for
two years before it becomes the exclusive
property Of any one person. Elliott has
now held the trophy eighteen months sue
cessfully During this time he has defeated
the following celebrated shots: Crosby on
two occasions. Beck of Indianapolis twice,
Hogharti of st Louis twice, c. w. Budd
Of Iowa once, Samuel Gay of Indiana once
and Brewer Of Riverside once.
J. A. Boen of Kansas is among the num-
Der of spOrtsmen who have come from far
and near to participate in the tOurn ament.

COST OF PRODUCTION.
An Expert Investigating the CaIiforn

An Expert Investigating the California
Factories.
o. Alfred Bernard, representative of the
United States Department of Labor, who
has been for three and half years in Eu-
rope, investigating the cost of labor in the
production of iron. steel and textile fabrics,
is at the Palace. His errand here is to ex-
anime into the cost of producing textiles on
this Coast.
Speaking of the matter he said last night:
81 found to my surprise that laboreTs in
England, in many places, particularly IRON
workers and cottOn-spinners, do better
than in the United States, when the fact
that they work shorter hours is taken into
consideration. In Germany, France and
Belgium. however, they receive much less,
but in France they are paid better than in
any other country Of Continental Europe.
Since coming here l have talked with a
number of manufacturers, and find those
engaged in the manufacture of textiles
greatly discouraged. number of manu-
facturers have told me that they suffer from
a variety OF causes. To sum them up they
are: Excessive taxes, high water rates,
costly fuel long terms Of credit and high
rates of interest Labor is somewhat
higher here than in the East, but that, am
Informed, cuts but little figure in the cost of
production. Coal, water and taxes are the
chief drawbacks. Some complaint, too, is
made about cost Of transportation. In Orc
gOn they are doing better than in California
and have a better outlook, especially for
home manufactured wooden goods
