Practically the com pletion of these works
will make il impossible for any hostile YES
sci to cross the bar without coming under
the fire of fifteen armor- piercing guns, what
ever position she may take.
The battery on the Preside bluff is
specially intended TO sweep the entrance to
the Golden Gate II is safe to say that the
lowest caliber of rifled-guns EMPLOYED on
that side will be ten inches.
The old brick Fort Winfield Scott will
soon be thing of the past. 1t will be re-
placed by something in the nature of a
Gruson turret.
The original arrangements were for two
16-inch guns in the turret. Two more of
these guns were TO be placed at Point
Diablo and two others at commanding
points: 1t has not yet been decided to re-
duce the calber of the guns. but none of
them have yet been manufactured.
&PrOvisiUn has been made, however. for
their manufacture. To the untutored mind
a few inches more or less makes little diff
ference; but there Is much greater differ
ence between an S-inch and 16-inch rjfied
gun than is implied by the figures There
is no ship afioat which could withstand the
impact of shot from l6-inch rified gun.
Such guns would be fred only at short
range. Each discharge would cost a small

CAMP AND TlCCLUNG.
The Two Great Football Coaches
Leave for the North.

Leave for the North.
With last Saturdays game intercollogi-
ate football ended for the season. and for
the past few days students and players have
once more taken up their studies, while the
great coaches, Camp and MeCluDg, have
been bidding their many new friends
adieu. Since the game they have been the
guests of Professor Bacon at Berkeley. and
when seen yesterday, previous TO their de-
parture for the north, they expressed them
selves as more than pleased a the kind and
hearty welcome rendered them by every
body.
II shall carry away with me memories Of
some OF the pleasantest times / ever spent"
said Mr.. Camp. 81 cannot say too much
about the handsome way In which we have
been treated by students, friends and
strangers.
But what pleases me above all Is your
climate. II we had such weather at New
Haven we would ask for nothing else.
Just think, 10 be able TO play the entire
winter without having to stop practice for
single day and without being incon-
venienced by the bother of changing wet
and muddy clothes.
Yes, leave for the north tonight on
my way East, but | shall stop few days
with Mr.. Heffelfnger at Spokane Falls"
"Mr. Camp and l journey together up
north as far as Spokane Falls" said Lee

AFTER we have seen our old friend, Heff-
elfnger, MI Camp will go East, while l see
a little more OF the coast | am very much
pleased with this visit and with the treat
ment have received.
''As for football, this season is most likely
my last. On my return home l shall 60 into
business, but, who knows, perhaps next
season may again find me at the old game
IF il does. hope it may be my luck TO

and they all did their work willingly.
Their physical condition was fine when |
took charge of them. and Mr.. Magee. the
Instructor in physical culture, deserves
great praise for the manner in which he
trained them"
The two coaches were Dot the only foot
ball enthusiasts who left the city yesterday,

They will play the team of the Los Angeles

CHlLDREN'S FAIR.
Crowds of Young and Old De-
lighted.

lighted.
The crush at the Children's Christmas
Fair In Saratoga Hall last night surpassed
all former occasions.
Downstairs a motley astired throng
worked slowly and cOnfusedly around the
booths. while upstairs in spite of the ''25
cents EXTRA" the audience was equally
packed.
At 9 o'clock the management made dumb
show appeals from the platform for a
hearing.
Ii took fifteen minutes at least to reduce
the loud babel of voices to a moderate buzz,
and then the spectators were informed that
crowds were waiting in the street below
for Ambulance into the ball. and that
that every one who would spend all his or
her money as soon as possible and 20 away
would oblige great many Others"
The suggestion was taken with great
good humor. and q large number OF good
natnred people complied with the re-
quest
The fair opened at 80 with an overture
by the orchestra of the Washington Gram
mar School. After this came Delsarte
dumbbell exhibition, grand march, gavotte,
and tableaux from Aladdin"
The throngs OF gayly alfred children
called forth repeated applause and admira-
ton from admiring parents and less fortu-
nate spectators
booming business was carried on at all
the booths, and what was not disposed of
over the counters found ready buyers at
auction from the platform.
Santa Claus was the main object of atten-
ZION from the children and many hundred
little hands were genially shaken and little
wondering eyes delighted with the blaze
and glitter OF the magical surroundings of
the patron saint of the season.

packages but was present when they were
signed by the five officers and before they
were completed.
