SAUSALITO SLIDES.
Great Damage Done by the
Recent Storms.
LOWER ROAD WASHED AWAY
The Work of Months Undone by the
Rain - Fences Give Away and
Foundations Crumble.

The pretty, picturesque hillside village of
Sausa Tito is sndly disfgured just now. and
its winding roads and smooth, grassy slopes
are all awTy from the effects OF the recent
storms.
OF all the suburban towns round and
about San Francisco there Is none so beau
tiful in natural scenery as is Sausalito, and
the jewellers therein have recognized the
eternal fitness of things, and instead of
building plain, everyday looking houses
and locating them on dreary levels they
have built artistic villas. with many gables
and versndas, and perched them on the
SUBMITS of the great hills or at the very
edges of the cliffs that descend in sheer
precipices to the stretch of beach below.
Sausalito boasts of two roads, the hill
road. that winds in and around the hillt0ps
and dips down into the valleys, ana the
beach or lower road that skirts the bay at
the bottom of the cliff. and from which the
pretty houses on the hills are reached by

Fighting for Ducks.

Charles Newman, a teanster, and Adolph
Arcardi were engaged in lively fstic argu-
ment involving sundry defunct ducks last
evening when Officers Morrisey and Lewis,
who were passing up Market street, stepped
in and arrested the cOmbatants.
Newman, as the story goes, had been
hunting. and was returning with the sp0lls
of the chase on The San Mateo electric cars
when, as he says, Arcard left the cars at
Valencia street and took the ducks with
him.
Newman, when he left the car, was in
formed by the conductor Of the act, and
leaving his big gun by the way has
Iened across 10 Market street, where he
arrived just in time to intercept Arcardi and
the ducks.
Newman's father bailed him out later in
the evening, and friends also removed Ar
cardi from the Folsom street station.

Then he was charged with larceny because
he had stolen coat from Clay-street saloon
earlier in the evening and had it on his back
when arrested.
The dialogue between Fisher and the SER
geant showed that there was nothing the
matter with the prisoners tongue; yet when
he WAS searched the following, written upon
half sheet Of notepapeT, was found in his
pocket:

Sausalito yesterday. 1--WE had even then a
far prettier town than our neighbors on this
or the other side Of the bay, and compared
With the washed out streets and broken
sewers OF San Francisco. we lived and yet
live, for we've attempted no repairs in our
paradise. Our sewers were broken, but the
very rain that broke them carried all the fifth
away into the bay. Holes were washed in our
roads, but the very storm that washed away
the roads brought down from the hills
enough dirt to fill the holes. All you can
say about our town just now is that it looks
little untidy, but. my dear sir, wait until
spring comes and you will see Sausalito

A Stubborn Junior Game.

The result Of the game between the Sec
ond teams of the Parnells and Emmeis was
a surprise to all present. the game being
stubbornly contested from start to flush.
J. Desmond was referee, F. Palmer UNI
pire for the Emmets and G. Brown for the
Parnells.
The Parnells had three points to their
credit at the half time. In the second half
the Parnells added two more points, win
ming the game by score of points to O.
j. P. M0rarty, J. Hughes, J. Casey and
T. Kelly played their usual brilliant game
for the Emmets. For the Parnells all
played well. though special mention may be
conceded TO Slattery. Cronin, Hask ms,

because they are compelled to anchor their
boats in secure shelter instead of leaving
them here. there and every where along the
beach. If all things are for the best the
storms OF the past few weeks will teach the
denize1s of the Sausalit0 hills a much
needed lesson. The roads will be repaired
and made real, sure-enOugh roads; the hill
side lawns will be guttered and tiled. and
In the fences there will be openings 10
allow the escape OF the water gathered
above them. The pictures herewith given
were taken along the lower road and show
the condition OF that thoroughfare and
some Of the property facing 1t. But the
storms are over, IL is hoped. and Sausalito
will repair the damages and never. never
let IL happen again.
