at third and the latter will go to short
if guardian of bag is engaged. The
local manager has been dickering with
Dave Coughlin, who is brother Of Ros-
coe the pitcher, and it is likely that he
may come here. He is third baseman
and good one. Up to few days ago
all that stood as an obstacle to pitcher
Hart's engagement was his demand for
free transportation from st. Louis.
He had accepted Harris terms, which
were pretty steep, believe, but like the
average ball tosser wanted TO travel out
here at the expense of his manager.
He is reputed to be tip top pitcher and
Harris team will be very strong in the
box if Hart is landed.
Harris was so determined to get
pitcher Jack Tanning for his team that
he concluded the negotiations with the
pitcher and the latter signed a San
Francisco contract. Then the manager
began investigating the claim that the
Paeific-Northwest league had on Fan
ning's services for this season. Tanning
was reserved by the northern club with
which he played last season. Harris
doubted the clubs right to reserve the
pitcher and telegraphed to N. e. Young
about the matter. Mr.. Young answered
that the Pacifc-Northwest league had
the right to reserve its players. That
settled the matter and Tanning was in
formed that under the circumstances he
would not be wanted by the Frisco club.

fell between the cars; the wheels ran

THE SAN FRANCISCO TEAM.
The Players Who Will Battle for
Harris.

The Players Who Will Battle for
Harris.
Here is shy at the makeup of the
San Francisco club for 1892, and l think
that the latter-day developments will
show that the prediction is not far out
of the way, says a writer in Pacific
Field Sports. The team will be as fol-
lows: Spies, catcher; Hoffman and
Hart, pitchers; Pete Sweeney, first
base; James p. Bonaparte Sharp, Sec
ond base; Reitz, third base; Dave
Coughlin, shortstop; outfelders, Levy,
Sweeney and another player yet to be
secured, who will be able to do trick
behind the plate. / am prettysure that
all of these players, with the exception
of Hart and Coughlin, have been signed,
but Manager Harris will not say SO just
now. Pete Sweeney, very probably,
will captain the team. Harris will not
send east for another catcher, but will
sign local man, and from what l can
understand that man will not be "Pop''
SWEET. "Pop" has been released from
reservation, and that would certainly
seem as though he is not wanted. The
other Frisco men who have been re-
leased from reservation are Cartwright,
Blauvelt and Nick Smith.
Harris has not decided whether to
get shortstop or third baseman. II
be gets short fielder he win play Reitz

A Novel Sport.

The pleasant weather brought quite a
number of both ladies and gentlemen
out to Mondonville yesterday, and the
clever device of having greyhounds race
after an artificial hare was greatly ap-
preciated by the crowd, as the idea is
such novel one. Mr.. Flynn, the pro-
prietor of Mondonville, intends having
races of this kind take place every Sum
day, and as there is no admission fee
charged, and the place being so we'll To-
Gated, Mondonville promises to become
favorite place of amusement to those
who wish to spend a pleasant Sunday
afternoon.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The opera house will be open at
matinee this afternoon and performance
this evening by the Grismer-Davies
company. For the matinee they will
present the comedv-drama, The Burglar,
written by Augustus Thomas, author of
Alabama, and in the evening the do
mestic comedy-drama, Ferncliff, which
has been very successful in the east.
The story of the play is a story of the
war. 1t is war play, with striking
peculiarly there is no fighting, no bat
tie scene, the acting of the drama taking
place at Newport, r. l. The plot is
said to be very interesting, telling
story of love and brotherly devotion,
with well developed scenes and strongly
handled climaxes, and the sentiment OF
hearty and honest character.

Roland Reed will appear at the
Los Angeles theater for a run of three
nights, commencing Thursday evening
the management make the following
claim for the player and his plays:
The play is of French origin, but it is
admirably adapted and the humor is
not only spontaneous but American.
Mr.. Reed has part exactly suited to
the quaint, dry, droll fun of which he is
showing himself master-that of
Maine sea captain with pretty daught-
er and handsome nephew who are in
love with each other. But Captain Tar
box ships his nephew off to New York
with an allowance and an order to marry
somebody else. Dick, the nephew,
writes to his uncle that he has married,
not expecting the captain ever to visit
New York, but the unexpected happens
and Dick is compelled to borrow the
wife and baby of his friend, Tom Bunt-
ing, to avoid detection. Scarcely is the
arrangement concluded when Captain
Tarbox and his daughter, Hitty, arrive
at Bunting's honse, believing it to be
the nephew's. Then the trouble be-
gins.
The burden of the fun-making, as a
matter of course, devolves upon Mr..
Reed. In tie first act it is not nearly
so spontaneous as in he.second, the lat
ter being productive of perfect cyclone
of laughter. But the young star, by
makeup that is singularly picturesque,
not touching in any way upon the gro
tesque, and facial expression that in
itself tells part of the story, manages to
extract great deal of amusement for
the audience out of the odd entangle-
ments with which the play begins and
the completing situations that he man
ages to make all the more complex.

The management of the Grand opera
house announce that the tragedian, Mr..
Frederick Warde, and his company will

will produce The Lions Mouth, on
Thursday The Mountebank, on Friday

The past week has brought us lots of new
goods in every departm ent of the house. Supe-
rior classes of merchandise which we have
only handled in small quantities we have
elaborated on in every detail. Our experience
with the better class of goods in the past six
months has been SO complimentary that we
have been induced to go into 1t to its fullest
extent. AS oul ratio of profit is uniform, you
will find all classes of goods sold in like pro-
portion. AS far as price is concerned, you will
always find us under any house in town, and
if, perchsnce, it should happen that we are
not, we will consider it kindness to be in
formed by our patrons and will make our
prices even lower than any quotation men
toned. Those of our patrons who remember
our domestic department in the center aisle of
our store, and the difficulty experienced in
reaching these counters, owing to the large
limited space will find more accommodation
and larger stock in new quarters, formerly
occupied by our dress goods department. 1t is
the height of our ambition, now that he dress
goods and silk stocks are moved to the center
aisles, to line these counters with as eager and
expectant patrons purchasing silks and dress
goods as were formerly wont to occupy the
same space buying cotton fabrics. 1t requires
time, but with the inducements that we hold
out it must eventually come.
We shall offer line of 46 inch plaid wool
dress goods in gray effects; you will find them
to be the cheapest merchandise ever sold by
any establishment in the known world; mind
the width, one yard and quarter, and the
price will, be

We will call your attention to the fact that
the colored dress goods which we had on sale
present one, and those who were unable to get
to town owing to the inclement weather have
an opportunity to avail themselves of this offer.
In black dress goods there is not a house in
the state of California that can show you the
quality for the money that we quote. We com
mence our line at 15c for half wool serges and
henriettas. At 35c you buy French i'm ported
cashmere or serge, SO to 40 inches wide, all
wool: we could not land these goods for 4Oc in
that we always got 75c for. At 75c we sell you
the line that we always got CSC for, and it en-
braces all wool serges, henriettas, fancy novel
tell you the truth when we say these goods can
never be replaced for the money we are selling
For 98c we are selling you our $3.50 quality
of black silk warp. henrietta, our black silk
warp glorias, our silk finish fancy serges and
henriettas, 46 inches wide.
At 85c we sell you q line of fancy novelty
dress goods, AZ inches wide; they arrived yes
terday, are the very newest creations nd under
them under 81 25 per yard.
In colored and figured India silks we are sell
ing line of "a inch at 45c. We do not want
sod m wsh w NY
thread. The latter is the cheapest made. We
won't have it in our house. In purchasing
ers, always try the strength of the material.
and you will find these cheap silks are nothing
but tissue paper. The silk we offer you is q
grade that was sold at Csc, and we warrant
these goods to give wear and satisfaction. In
selling our silks, dress goods or any fabric in
the house we do so with an implied guarantee
that they will give wear and satisfaction to the
purchaser. otherwise we stand ready at any
time to make it good.
At 74c and S5c we sell you some OF the hand
soonest printed India silks that you have ever
seen, and certainly the best value for the
money ever offered in Los Angeles.
At CSC a line of sublime printed India silks.
We have heretofore declined to sell them at
81 ID because actual comparison with any
thing in this town has proven them to be 25c
per yard cheaper than the closest com petition;
number of patrons inform us that they can
buy similar quality at the same price; to be
lower than the lowest we have marked them at

This is an item that should call out every
lady in Los Angeles that has any wants in the
way of good dress goods for 25c per yard; as
we are DESTROYS of having this go as far MS pos
sible, and only having limited quantity, we
must restrict the purchase to eight yards for
any one purchaser.
The next inducementto to visit our stores early
Monday morning off-red by the dress goods de-
partment is line of 46 inch all wool, solid
colored, ilk finished henriettas and serges,
the value of which ranged from 81 .25 to 81 SO
per yard; these goods could not be imported Tor
81 per yard. Owing to the limited quantity
we have of them, and wishing them to go as
far as possible, we must restrict the purchase
to 10 yards for any single person. Price,

Service.
Ermenegildo Calvetti was arrested at
4:30 last evening by Officer Davis
for disturbing an open-air religious
meeting held by the 'Band of Hope"
on North Main street near the Plaza.
Calvetti is religious fanatic
himself and undertook to con-
duct communion service of
his own. He therefore procured a
two-gallon demiiohn of port wine, and
entreated the listeners to the Band of
Hope, to "drink of the blood of the
Lamb" Some of the audience seized
the opportunity, and there would have
been several individuals loaded with
"bIood" had these curious communion
services not been interferred with.
When first demonstrated with, Cal
vetti got highly indignant and proposed
to defend his position In the manner of

Considering the quality of these goods, and
they so come in b acx, we must say that at
75c per yard they are even a greater value than
the first item at 25c.
You all know what the French all wool chal
lie is, and you know the price is just as staple
as it is on calico; here is less money in hand
