Mike yentured over to Alameda last
Thursday afternoon, with his head high in

He walked about as If he owned the town.
He really thought that he did own 1t before
he left.

to himself.
But he couldn't buy Alameda

ideas, and then came back to the city to let
Martin Kelly know what successful job

tho successful candidate for the Assem- bly,.
There were several candidates in the dis

suit shows that Clinton G. Dodge or DR.. L.

allied with the Dargie forces, was beaten.
w. S. PelouZe carried his own ward, the

He is believed to be beaten, however, in
the outside districts.
Nixon will probably be the successful
man.
In Berkeley only one ticket was run. and
that was for Earl. This gave him ten un-
contested delegates.
In Piedmont also there was but one ticket.
and at least two out of three of the dele
gates there are for Earl.
In the Fourth Ward the Adams ticket for
the Assembly was elected by 266 against
1l0 for 1ngler. Ingler carried the Sixth
Ward, where there was no contest, but the

victory.

The Largest Auditorium In the World to
Be Built in Chicago.
Chicago Herald
After months of preliminary work the
initiatory steps for the construction Of the
biggest auditorium of the world were taken
yesterday. A building permit was issued to
the Columbus Celebration Company to erect
"spectatOrium" at numbers l 10 q on
Fifty-slxth street. The structure is TO be
six stories In height, $50 by 240 feet in d.
mansions and of frame and staff constTuc-
tlon. This latter point has been one
of much contention between the pr o.
motors of the scheme and the city
authorities, on account Of the reQui-
site conformity with the fire ordinances.
Jenrey & Mundy are the architects of the
huge building. the cost of which in the per-
NIT is given at 100000. This. however, Ii
for the mere shell. the total cost of con-
struction, aside from furnishings and deco
rations. being about S350.000. The prelimi-
naries were not definitely settled until
yesterday at noon, and the accompanying
illustration will be to the general pnblic
the first intimaton of the appearance Of the
exterior Of the huge structure.
The data concerning the real estate deal
involved in this transaction are familiar.
Among the promoters, aside from Steele

The League Of American Wheelmen-an
organization $1,000 strong, devoted to road
improvement and the prom otion of amateur
eycing-is not very strong In California.
In fact It has drifted along tor several years,
| receiving few accessions of mem berShip
and apparently accomplishing very little in
the way Of improving the highways Of the
State.
Bat there has been a change. With the
advent Of the pneumatic tire and the break
ing Of all previous records has come re-
viyal of interest in the affairs of the league.
which promises well for its future.
The election for officers of the California
Division occurs in few weeks. and for the
first time in several years an opposition ticket
has been placed in the field. The powerful
Alameda Club has Joined the league in a
body, and one of the liyeliest campaigns on
record is assured.
The opposition movement took form last
night at largely attended meeting held at
the rooms OF the San Francisco Bicycle
Club. DR.. Spencer called the assembled
wheemen TO order. Mr.. Edwards Of the
Pacific Road Club was elected chairman
and Mr.. Edwards of the San Francisco Club
secretary.
A ringing platform was adopted. II ad-
affairs. more serious work TO promote the
Obj1cts Of the organization and the separa-
ton Of the California division into two
divisiOns-NOrthern and Southern. The
management Of the national body is strongly
Endorsed and the present local administration
severely denounced.
The following ticket was then nominated:
Chief consul, G. II. Strong Of San Fran
cisco; viee-c0nsul, j. S. Thayer of Los

Speeches were made by prominent league
members, and the meeting adjourned with

st. Brendan's Hall is situated on Rincon
Hill. at Harrison and Fremont streets, and
was crowded last evening.
1t was the occasion of the Ladies' Fair in
aid OF st. Brendan's new school for boys
and girls.
All was gay and smiling. and the sound of
merry laughter and hum of happy voices
fell pleasantly on the ear.
Little tots ran about and sold tickets, and
many and varied were the devices made by
both boys and girls to induce the numerous
visitors to contribute to the good cause.
The Rev. George Montgomery made
very happy speech, stating that the fair was
for the cause of education, and urging his
listeners to be as liberal as their means
would permit declared the fair open.
There were floral booths, candy stands,
grab-boxeS, a fish-pond, postoffice. where
letters were received and distributed. a
museum, soda fountain, weighing stand
and shooting gallery.
There were ten fancy tables, and over
them the following ladies presided: Mrs.

"What made Florence Blythe get married

"Yes, bounded to death. She was having

other well-known citizens. Mr.. Mackaye
himself says the undertaking is the realiZa-
ton of full twenty years of fond dreams
and much study in the realm of the speetac-
ular.
The building will be In the Spanish Re-
Nuisance style of architecture, and will ex-
hiblt more gorgeous effect and at the same
time cover more ground than any other
building heretofore planned or erected in
connection with the Columbian exposition
outside of the fair grounds. The front will
extend over $50 feet and the depth will
average 81 feet, the height will be about
100 feet. The large dome in the center
will be surmounted by statue of Fame.
The seating capacity of the auditorium
will be 900, and the entrances and
exits will be ample for twice that number
In order to empty the house In about
half the time required to leave an ordinary
theater. The stage will have proscenium
opening of $50 feet, with prOportouate
depth. The immense stage is so arranged
that it can furnish real water TO the depth
of four feet over its entire surface The
scenery will be run on wheels on railroad
iron under the water, and will be controlled,
each piece separately, by electric motors
from the pr0mpter's desk. Thus the
prompter will only have to push button
and the motor will do the work Of $50 men,
absolutely preventing any mistakes in
shifting.
The building. as has been said, will cost
upward of S350,000 when ready for the ma.
chinery. The furniture. scenes and ma
chnery will cost probably as much more.
The gentlemen constituting the spectatnri-
um company will furnish ample means,
and are determined to make this enterprise
one OF the most enjoyable features of
the fair. They claim it will be
more pleasing and more talked of novelty
than the Eiffel Tower. The character
OF the performances to be given are PROM
ised to equal Wagner's most extraordinary
dreams of all that great dramatic-musical
performance should be. The greatest or
ehestral music, especially written by the
best composers, solos and choiuses by emf
nent artists. all Illustrated by brilliant spec
tacuiar and realistic pantomimes, will be
presented. The story of the piece to be given
will be the life of Columbus and the dis
covery of America. Ships of the actual size
and appearance used ty Columbus will be
fully manned by sailors in exact reproduce
tion Of the characters Of those times. The
capture of Granada and the procession of
Columbus and Isabella to the Alhambra. as
we'll as the surrender Of Boabdil, last of the
Moorish kings, will be especially grand and
on an immense scale. The scenery. cos
tunes and music will be elaborate and pic-
turesque. and the promoters claim for this
grand production that it will be the great.

The Alameda County Republican Legisla-

State Senator.
Within one hour after the returns began
to come in Guy c. Earl had fifty-Dine dele

Dargie was defeated by linking hands
with Mike de Young aud F. J. Mofitt.

him politically at the polls.
In his fall several candidates for the AS
