FUN IN THE TUBS.
The University New Boat
house Warming.
nerry Opening of the Season-Races
in and Over the Water-De-
lighted Visitors.

The celebration of the University Boat
Club in honor OF the opening of its new
bOa;h0use took place yesterday, and the
students, and their friends had a gay time.
The Columbia and Oakland Canoe clubs
joined in the celebration and helped to
make the day the success it was.
The Columbia Club was the center of
attraction. as the members had fixed up
the house In grand style. The parlors and
boatrooms were artistically decorated with
blue and white streamers. and gay crowds
of people thronged around the balconies.
The house of the university boys was
filed with lively crowd. Refreshments
were served throughout tho day to all the
visitors. The building is rs yet only
finished In the rough. but 1t is hoped that
by the time the next college term opens
will be completely fitted out. Gay
streamers and flags of the university coors
decorated the top of the building and blue
and gold curtains covered the windows.
The first race on the programme was
padding match between three canoes
from the Oakland Canoe Club The Echo
was manned by Messrs. Engebrecht and
Gump, the Sprite by Mr.. Marx and Mr..
Berier, and the Dart by Mr.. Foote and Mr..
Phelps. The course was from the Oak
land Canoe Club TO buoy a little beyond
the Columbia house and return.
The Echo took the lead at once and kept
it un til the finish, coming in far ahead of
any of the othef boats. 1t must have

at any rate. whether it was Intentional
or not, just as they got opposite the Uni
versity boathouse their canoe turned over
and left them floundering in the water.
MIR. Foote immediately struck out for
shore, but Mr.. Phelps could not swim, SO
all he could do was to Chamber on to the
end of the boat that was above water ana
cling on for dear life.
The crowd fairly howled with laughter
at the ridiculous position of poor Phelps,
for his face was turned from the crowd
and all they could see was a wet figure
straddling the bow Of the boat. At last n
rowhoat put out from shore and relieved
the drenched oarsman from his position.
The next race was a swimming match
between Mr.. Frew and Mr.. Plunkett Of
Berkeley and Mr.. Smith of the Canoe
Club. They all dived off together, but
Smith reached the flag first. On the home
stretch he was overtaken and passed by
Frew, who came in first amid the cheers of
the university boys.
The tub races occasioned lots of fun.
Only two contestants started from the
Berkeley float. but they did not go very
far. as Mr.. Plunkett found himself unable
to keep his balance. and made back dive
into the cold water. lie clambered into
his tub. and then he and Mr.. Smith decided

Only Rich Officers Need Apply.


1t is somewhat hard to find suitable off,
GERS of the army and navy tn occupy tho
places of military and naval attaches to
the United States legations in foreign
countries. To satisfactorily fulfill the du-
ties OF these posts plenty If money is an
essential requisite. A man attached in
such a capacity to the Embassy of Paris
or at London needs n private fortune to
keep ND with the social requirements Of
the situation. He must move in the most
richly gilded swim, and must meetall sorts
of unusual expenses. 1t Is expected of
him that he shall live like gentleman Of
rank and wealth, because the attaches Of
the legations of other nations are rich and
noble. A clear understanding Of these
facts would lessen the number OF apDlica-
tions for these places which are sent In by

and Navy at Washington. They desire the

FAUST" AT MACDoNoUGH's s.-Sociey in
Oakland and theater-goers in particular
are looking forward to the amateur pro-
duction of Faust" at the Macdonough on
the Both inst. with unusual interest. The
growing popularity of high-class opera is
conceded by the best critics of to-day. and
in no part of the country is it more in de-
mand than here on the coast. II Is
healthful sign for the opera where it is
encouraged by the best class of citizens,
and its production participated in by the
talented rising generation. Prominent
among the most popular operas of the day
is Faust" and those who appear in the
presentat in Oakland will by reason of
their social popularity make it a drawing
card. Miss Mae Dow will take the role of
the principal character, Marguerite. She is
young lady of marked promise, and COM
bines the qualities of an excellent vocalist
and good actress. L. Eisenbach will ap-
pear as Faust and The whole cast will be
we'll filed. The scenery and stage effects
have been prepared especially for the oc-
casion.

The four-oa:ed races were not rowed in
