After the band had played few selec-

In another column appears a notice to
holders Of policies OF the California Insur-
ance Company to present the same at the
Office Of the Fireman's Fund Insurance
Company for reissue of the policies in the
latter organization. In conversation with
Vice-President Dutton of the Fireman's
Fund he said. In explanation of recent conf
ments on Its course In taking up the Cali
fOrDias business, as they appeared In a
morning contemporary that they were en-
tirely unjust The Fireman's Fund Com
pany, which has been writing policies for
over quarter of century, has learned the
lesson of experience in such CONGREGATIONS
as those OF Chicago and Boston. In which
their risks were very heavy, and have pur-
sued the policy OF distributing their risks
in such manner as TO insure them against
heavy loss in the event of CONFEDERATION in
any one city. The liabilities, which acpre
gate over $4,000, 600, are so placed that the
company will not suffer severely under the
worst Of conditions. 1t Is largely to their
credit that they have manifested their abil
ity to compete with foreign capital and as
sumo the risks OF other home COMPANIES in
stead Of letting them be gobbled up by out
side investors.

The gathering at the Pavilion last even
ing. although large, was not, numerically
speaking. to be compared with the inaugu-
raj evening of the tug-of-war contests.
The ladies were strongly represented. and
from the interest they manifested in the
struggles of strength and endurance there
could be no gainsaying the fact that tug-of-
war bouts pleased them highly. At 9
o'clock the crowd had increased by several
hundred. but those who came late missed
seeing the first tug of the evening. The in
terest in the bouts did not lessen particle.
The betting was spirited. The fayorites
sold at such high figures that there was
very little money for the winners to divide
at the end of each contest.
1t was exactly S:34 o'clock when the
Canadian and Swedish teams took their
respective positions on the raised platform.
The betting was $50 20 So on the Canadians,
and the sports who wagered on the Canucks
must have had a pretty good idea OF how
the tug was going to end. 1t was no strug-
gle st all. In 2 minutes and so seconds
after the pistol cracked the Canadians had
won an easy victory. Their opponents
were not in it all. II was noticed that

go 10 the manholes; they are open night
and day"
The manholes are generally found to be
of the required depth for the sewer-that is
10 feet. But nobody digs down TO see how
deep the pipe Is. That is too much trouble.
What are known as Us, or sewer cOnnec-
ti0ns, are required by law to be placed in
the sewer every IS feet. one on either side,
which IS 7 for every 1212 feet of sewer.
Who knows whether they are in or not?
Does the inspector, who is down at the cor
ner grocery two-thirds Of his time, know it?
Does he care?
Who inspects the quality OF the sewer
pipe?
Who sees that there are proper steps one
foot aparl" in the manholes?
Who sees that 12-inch sewer is not put
in where the specifications call for 14-ineh
pipe?
. Evidently nobody.
That is the inevitable conclusion TO be
drawn from the result OF The CALLS dig
giug with pick and shovel AMI drill in the
streets of this city. 1t is the first time this
sort Of digging was ever done in San Fran
cisco Oh the present scale.
The work has been anything but easy.
What has il shown?
That the Us are not put in, though they
are charged for.
That an 18-inch sewer-pipe may be law
and paid for when il only measures 10 inches
In diameter.
That instead OF 10 feet as required by
Law, seWer-pipe is only laid to Z feet
below the crown of the street.
That there are no marks on tile curbS, as
required by the Supervisors, showing
