an exception the play was interesting and the
performance was excellent. while the parior
used as the stage was nicely arranged. The

down on the crowd with beatle raised.
The runners broke at this, but all the

awful screeches.

houses fell thick and fast, like raindrops in
an equinoctial storm, on the bursting ear

Then the chorus, ever and always the
chorus.
Mr. Kngsford moved slowly and hesitat-

mad by the turmoil had it not been for the
friendly services of runner more daring
than the rest.
He ran behind the policeman. thrust the
card of the Barbary Coast hotel into the
strangers hand, and boldly snatched that
ancient. tired-looking valise.

dragged the hestating stranger Into one OF
the big red buses.
Even Mt this he was followed by half a
dozen other runners, each trying to steal
away his prey.

At meeting Of the street committee of

intendent OF Streets Gilleran arose and
called TIE attention of the committee to an
interview in the Examiner wherein he had
been accused by DR.. Keeney, the Health
officer. of dereliction Of duty in not carry
ing out the instructions of the board in
reference to the sweeping of certain streets
and the flushing of certain sewers.
Health Officer Keeney was present and
denied that he had made the remarks al
tributed 10 him. He thought. however,
that not enough men were employed IN the
work Of cleaning the streets aud flushing
the sewers.

plaeated by the explanation.

There appears to be dozen runners to

Most of the passengers had already
selected their hotel or lodgings and would
be taken nowhere else.
The percentage of total strangers, how
ever, who had not even the most remote
Idea OF where to find temporary shelter
was large enough to cause the keenest kind
OF competition for their patronage among
the runners, and the single policeman had
his hands more than full in trying to keep
them within bounds.

IT Was A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Press Club Matinee a
Grand Affair.
Nearly Al of the Representative People IL
Attendance, and Hundreds Of Eager
Visitors Turned Away.

The annual entertainment of the Press
Club OF San Francisco took place at the
Baldwin yesterday afternoon.
1t was in every way pronounced sue
cess.
In the first place the house was simply
packed with the very first people of San
Francisco, and, as some one remarked. a
Patti first night would not have drawn out
a finer gathering Of people.
The elite OF San Francisco was there,
and in the dTess-cirele and orchestra
leaders Of society Wed with each other TO
make the scene one OF unusual attractive
ness.
Long before the hour announced for the
opening Of the performance every seat in
balcony, dress-circle and orchestra had been
disposed OF and standing-rOom was at a
premium.
Back OF the dres5-circle, in fact, scores Of
people stood who were unable to procure
seats, and not one Of them went out till the
programme had been completed.
All IN all IL was without doubt sbe most
successful event Of the kind ever given in
this city and the result viii be a large sum
10 the credit Of the club.
The performance opened with a reading
by George Riddle of The murder of Nancy
Dykes from 'OllYeT WlSt.
This was followed by the fourth act of
Moths" by the Alcazar company.
Miss Tliie Salinger sang at Was a
Dream" and Dan Sully followed in enc of
his speciallies. Then came Ferris Hart
man IN topical song, on the heels of which
w. I. Carleton sang tie "Toreador" song
from Carmen"
Leo Cooper recited, and Joseph R. Girls
mer and Pbebe Davies gave the third act
Of the New South"
In tie second part Lillian Russell sang
Dear Heart" and Hayden Coffin was en-
cored for his rendering of Sir Arthur Suli-
vans Passing Hence" The Lederer Com
paDy gave an act of Nothing but Money"
Among the other attractions were Miss
Julia Kingsley in her serpentine dance, Gus
Heege in a specially. selections by the Lum-
bermen's Quartet from "Yon Yonsou," Mrs.
CaTmichael-Carr ami Sigmund Beel, aud a
drill by the Naval Reserve.
The performance began at o'clock, and
II was nearly when the curtain fell on the
last act, but no one seemed to think OF the
time.
In fact, no one had occasion to feel any
thing but pleasure. and no one went away
but in a happy mood.
