THAT FAMOUS DRIVE.
The Liveryman Wants to Be Paid

for a Broken Vehicle.
The famous drive under the auspices of
Max Pepper and the Supervisors, on which
occasion Vice-President of the United
States Stevenson was shown the beauties
of Colleen Gate Park, will be remembered
by those who superintendent the excursion
when the great event has passed from the
minds of others.
The Vice-President was not only shown
the flowers and the seals. but was also
treated to lasso exhibition led by Cap
tain Thomson of the park police. 1t is
m after of history that the captains larat
did not swish through the air and encircle
the object aimed at with cowboy accuracy.
and the Vice-P President is said to have re-
marked: what do those fellows carry
lariat for? think they had better prac-

On the memorable trip 1t will be remem-
bered that the spirited broncos which
whirled along the jaunty car in which
were Supervisors Ryan and Day ran away
and almost killed the occupants of the car.
The Supervisors mentioned were glad to
escape with their lives, but now it seems
they have another risk to run. Liveryman
Hogan, who hired out the thoroughbreds
which endangered the lives of some of the
Vice-Presidential party. claims that con-
siderable damage was done to his team.
he placed the damage at 500. but says he
is willing TO accept $50 in liquidation.
Yesterday, the liveryman was at the
Supervisors chambers asking that some
thing be done with his claim. Max Pepper
was also there and asked Hogan If he

BANCROFT SCORED
California Pioneers Go for
the Historian.
DECLARATION OF HOSTILI1IEs
A Claim That the Memories of
Great Men Have Been
Maligned.

Some Of the California pioneers have
taken exceptions to the statements of
Hubert Howe Bancroft in reference to
some OF the men whose names are prom
iDently identified with the early history of
the State. The hardy pioneers do not pro,
pose to sit quietly while their heroes are
malifned. and so they propose to cross
swords with Historian Bancroft and meta
phorically tear TO pieces every page of his
history of California.
After the routine business had been dis
posed of at the monthly meeting Of the
Society of California Pioneers last night
war upon Bancroft was declared by the
Introduction Of resolution by W. B. Far
we'll. The preamble strongly objected to
Bancrofts illusions to Fremont as ''tlli
busterer," to such men as Commodore
Stockton, Samuel J. Hensely, Robert Gen.
ter and others as ''Ioud-mouthed whisky
drinkers" and to General Suffer as "the
keeper of hostry for horsethieves"
The resolutions read:
Resolred, That Bancrofps denunclatons OF
Fremont. Stockton, Suffer and the men of the
Bear Flag party as vagabond settlers are
plainly the vapOrings of a mind distorted by
prejudice or enyenOmed by malice, and at,
tach greater degree of disgrace to their au.
thor than to the hOnOred names and memories
of the men whom he thus maliciousy magns.
Resolved, That upon The principle false in
one thing. false in ALL" "Bancroft's History OF
California" so-called, Is, in the opinion of this
society, unworthy OF credence as authority or
as a source OF correct Information for present
or future generations, and merits the Just co.,
domination of every fair-minded man, whose
personal experience enables him to form true
estimate of Its value.
After reading the resolutions Mr.. Far
we'll said he preferred to have action upon
it postponed until the next meeting. He
was prepared to express his sentiments
as to Bancrofts work. but he preferred to
have all the members of the society pres
ent.
So the consideration was put over until
next month. At the next meeting the
proposition to remove General Suffers
remains from the East to Fort Suffer will
also be acted upon.
John Pierce Deane was elected life
member. The marshal reported that five
members had died since the last meeting.
and obituary committees were appointed.
A committee was also selected to arrange
for a suitable celebration OF Admission
