The election of the Mechanics Institute
yesterday was one Of the most exciting cpl
sodes in the history of this organization. The
platform Of the progressive party or opposi-
ton and the causes which led this combina-
ton to put ticket in the field are all too well
known to need further mention. For sew
eral months both sides had been actively
engaged in canVassing the situation, and
when the polls opened at noon yesterday
at least 400 eager voters stood ready to de-
post their ballots.
The most active people around the In

They lined Post street, between Mon tgomery
and kearny, and offered a good deal OF
gratuitous advice to those passing IN 10

d!ers greatly Outnumbered those OF the other
side. and this, with the fact that the kick

preston abroad that the regular ticket was
In very poor way to succeed.
At O'clock about 10000 votes had been
cast and at this time the polls were closed
for one hour. From Z until 9 the polling
went on rapidly, the rush being at this time
The heaviest for the entire day.
The candidates on the regular ticket
were: A. S. Hallidie, ID. A Macdonald,

Fresno County Jack Rabbits Driven in
by the Thousand.
A graphic description of the recent big
rabbit drive in Fresno County says: Several
thousand people engaged in the drive, and
it is estimated that fully 10000 rabbits were
at one time within the limits encompassed by
the lines, but at the time of closing in upon
them at the entrance to the corral they made
a great rush and thousands broke through
the ranks, escaped clubs and made their
escape. AS the lines were closed in near the
wings of the corral, the spectacle was grand
"a surging mass Of jacks moving around
the circle, causing great clouds of dust to
rise as they would advance to break through
the lines or be driven back by the clubs of
the footmen. When the circle of excited
and shouting human beings narrowed down
to the mouth of the corral. tie terrified little
creatures made a grand break for liberty,
aud the slaughter commenced. In vain did
the marshals attempt TO control the crowd,
but their enthusiasm was aroused to such
an extent that an army could not have held
them back when they rushed to the
slaughter. The cries OF the rabbits almost
sounded human when they realized that it
was impossible To escape, but the eXtermi-
majors were relentless. and there was no let
up until the last rabbit was stretched dead
