about ten feet deep on the reef and holes
were drilled in the bed into which the
giant cartridges were placed, from thirty
to forty sticks filling each cavity made.
The caps of the top cartridges were at
tached to insulated wires leading to the
adjacent dock.
When everything was in readiness the
insulated wires were attached to the bat
terry about forty feet away. Ths supern-
tendent turned the crank and an explosion
followed, which lifted the water about one
foot, reduced the obstructing rect and did
some injury TO the dock. The shock was

the last race, as the programme Is now ar
ranged, is run under conditions not very
satisfactory to the student of form, espe-

THE PRESS IN OAKLAND.
An Eloquent Sermon by Rabbi Fried
lander.

The purity of the press agitation ha 8
reached Oakland, and to-day it will be the
subjectof sermons by several of the min
listers. Yesterday Rabbi M. Friedlander
delivered a sermon on this subject at the
First Hebrew Synagogue.
The rabbi said the press is the tide
mark of the times. In one column it
laughs at our follies, ridicules our absurdi-
ties and cbastises our guilt, while in the
next column it applauds our talent. ap-
proves our good judgment and defends our
innocence.
"The public cannot live without the
press, nor could the press exist withoutthe
public. Let US, then. not beat the air with
censure Of it, nor should II turn deaf ear
to our voice.
"Tne press has constituted itself grand
Jury to decide upon the merits and demer-
its of the public. We admit its right to do
this. but 1t should not deny the public the
right Of pointing out and recommending
the degree and manner"
In closing his remarks Rabbi Friedlander
said.
"I.et the journalist write for his art or
profession as wellsns money. Let there be
in his work some ideal for which he can
not expec. Immediate recomDense.
1.-The editor is not always responsible
for the offensive news in vulgar style
which steals into his columns. The enor-
nous machinery of the modern press re-
quire tho greatest speed and an army Of
reporters, some of whom are very offen-
siye.
I'VE think it practicable to appoint an
able ana reliable man over every six news
gatherers. to carefully examine every item
of criminal character before 1t goes to
the press, and to discard the dregs and re-
tain the essance-to fling sins OF the world
into the waste basket aud give the redeem
ing virtues to the people.
I'VE indorse the petition for press re-
form; 1t will purify tho thoughts OF the
public. raise the rank of the journalist,
increase the pay of the work and elevate
the standard of the press"

temerity TO lay 10 to ! against him during
the progress of the race, odds which we're
quickly snapped up by welI-kn0Wn
figure in horse circles.
MIR. Williams must have been heavy
winner on Cicero IN the steeplechase, as
he went down the line as the horses went
10 the post and played with every book
maker who had him on the boards. Cicero
Is remarkably game and speedy horse.
He stun bled badly at the water jump and
lost eight or ten lengths. He must have
hurt himself badly. as he pulled up lame,
but he ran a magnificent race in the
stretch, beating San Jose ont a length.
Except for the accident he would have
won as he pleased.
Prcelle and The Mallard opened up
equal favoIites at to for The first race
for two-year-olds, six fnrlongs. The
former was very strong tip, though both
were heavily backed. Premium FLY and
Trix were played on their last perform
ances, opening at to l and closing al 6.
The Mallard went to the post first favorte
and justified his odds of to 5. for having
waited on tho pacemakers, Trix and Pri-
celle, to the stretch. ne went right after
pole, winning handiIy by length, Trix
as easily gaining the place from Pricelle.
Tigress, who won the six-furlong race
from Paramatta in sensational finish
where five horses were necks apart in
splendid time for the track, went to tile
post heavily backed first favorite at II to

Motto and Qnarterstaff at d and 10 to l

every horse IN the race having chance
except Nellie G and Geoffrev. who were
frendless at 100 to l. Prize, Tigress aud
Quarterstaff waited on Motto, who made
the running to the head of the stretch.
Tigress outlasted the others and won right
on the post by neck from an unexpected
competitor at the time in the shape of
Paramatta, who had come up fast on the
outside and in another jump would have
won.
