Work at the Cascades Locks


The high water in the river
stops all work at the locks in the
bed of the government canal. U.s.
ually, at this season of the year,
the Columbia has resumed its low
est stage of water; but spring was
very late this year, and snow re-
manned in the mountains for an
unprecedented period Of time. 1t
may be two or three weeks, possi-
bly, month before the Day broth
ers can work to any advantage in
putting in walls on the second
lock. AS soon as conditions are
favorable q large force Of men will
be put at work and the improve,
ment to navigation will be rushed
rapidly to completion. Making
all allowances for delay it may be
safely calculated that in two years
the river will be opened from The
Dalles to tidewater, and river craft
will leave that city and transport
products to the ocean without
breaking cargo.

Stricken Blind.

A strange case, and one that is
exciting much attention amongt the
physicians in Idaho, is thus re-
ported by the Lewiston Tribune:
George D.. Finn, who lives on the
rimrock north Of town, was last
Saturday stricken perfectly
blind. He states that last Sat-
urday morning, between 8 and 8
o'clock, he went out to now some
hay for his team, and after moving
some little time he felt warm
sensation across the middle of his
back, and soon he had vomi-
ting spell. He then returned to
the house about sundown, He
went TO bed and was soon asleep.
After sleeping some two hours he
woke up, and thought he would
getup and light the candle. He
found the matches and struck one,
bnt could not zee anything, so he
returned to the bed and laid there
alone from Saturday night until
Monday evening, when d man
that used to work for him made
his appearance"

BEHIND THE WICKETS.
Yesterdays Practice Game and At
fractions for the Future.

1t being an open day for cricket yester-
day 1t was necessary TO do something to
keep practice up. So second eleven
match between Pacifics and Alamedas
was arranged to come off on the Alameda
ground.
But like all scratch matches of this
description. when time came to pitch
stumps it was found that the teams had
not gathered together in full complement.
A compromise was then effected by allow
ing Soman to play for Aamedss and
Mcpherson and Cookson for the Paclfics
on condition that none of them should be
allowed TO bowl. The restriction mnde
little difference in the result. aud the Pa
cites could hardly do without bowler of
Cook5on's ability.
Suffice it TO say. that Alameda won all
the way. Pacifics went in first and
notched 81; of these Hill made Is. Della
field 10. and Barry u. Cold we'll bowled
pretty well in this inning. Alameda fol-
lowed and made 1877; Off these Newman,
recent importation from Australia, made
%. Somau retired when he had made 80.
Alberga did the same after scoring 80, and
Halton said he was tired when he had put
up %.
Sunday next will be a great day. and
grand struggle is expected on the Alameda
ground when the rival clubs hich share
the ground meet once again. The Ala
medals hope to turn the tables on the
Pacilics this time. but the latter club Is
much fortified by its recent victory and
Will no doubt feel confident of repeating it.
Still, there is no saying what strong bat
ting team like the Alamedas may do, If
seen at its best. AT Golden Gate the San
FranciscoS appear TO have walkover in
their match against the CALIFORNIA;.
A grand match is being arranged to come
off at san jose on Friday, the 2lst inst. 1t
is TO be played between elevens OF married
and single men chosen from the five clubs.
A smoking concert and general good time
is in process of construction for the even
ing following the match, and the cricket
ers will return TO San Francisco by the
early train the following morning.

1t is a very painful injury, and Mr..
Frawley suffered greatly during Saturday
night and yesterday morning, largely
owing to his refusal to see a physician,
as he believed his injuries we're not very
serious However, the pain Increased so
much that DR.. Farrell was teloph oned for

is stopping to attend his injuries. The
ribs were soon replaced, leaving the pa.

TURF AND TRACK.
Getting Ready for the
Grand Circuit.
Senator Stanford's Five Speed Rules.
Gossip of the Big Eastern
Summer Meetings.

Improvements are still being made at
the Bay District track. aud by the time the
grand California circuit opens there with
the trotting meeting on the ed inst. the
grounds and buildings will be in excellent
condition.
When Henry Schwartz closed his sum-
mer meeting so abruptly he announced
that he did so because there were indica-
tons that some of the races were not being
run son the square," 1t seems, however,
there were other reasons why the meeting
had to be shortened. Some of the stables
located on the villa property adjoining
had to be moved to the track at once, and
this work could not be done while racing
was in progress.

turfman and writer. w ho made such good
judge during the recent summer meeting,
has gone to Chicago. Before he returns TO

from next Saturday. From the entries
published this meeting promises to be the
best ever held by the association.
The late Senator Stanford formulated
five rules regarding the development of
speed at PalO Alto. which read: First
No horse in condition 10 be worked for

Always go to the stable with the full speed

Much interest is taken in the many East

Pittsburg to-day, and $50. 600 will be dis
trlbuted IN purses during the five days Of

There is trouble in store for the people
who 90 not care to listen to fish stories,

About every man or boy who could Dor
row or buy a fishing tackle went fishing
yesterday, and the city's wharves, from
old Long Bridge to the foot of Powell
street were lined with them.
Long before the streetcars started people
with poles and baskets could be seen max

a favorite dock. And there those people
stayed throughout the livelong day.

Mr.. Bliss is a graduate of Yale and he
will eventually enter into some business in

train the football team there. His pres
ence in San Francisco will no doubt tend
to increase the interest and extend the
popularity of the game on the Pacific
Coast.
A meeting will be held inV the Olympic
Club Tomorrow night al O'Clock to meet
Mr. Bliss and make arrangements for
practice with the team.
Mr.. Bliss comes al critical time for
San Francisco football and considerable
interest will be taken as to what will be
his verdict on the situation. The Olympic
Club Is known to include large amount of
football talent in its ranks, bat of late it
has not been manifesting itself quite so
numerousy as some enthusiasts deem fit
ting. Ii these enthusiasts would pause to
consider, they might acknowledge there
was reason for an apparent slackening of
interest in football to be found in the large
number OF counter attractions at this
season. The knowing ones say that con-
Sidering everything, the volume of interest
is very promising, and that Dir. Bliss
coming is likely to give squirt to that
volume.
There are quite number of players who
would enjoy game two or three times a
week, il not 0ftener. and any system look
| ing toward this end would be welcomed by
them. Mr.. Bliss has his own ideas about
the formation OF a number of eIevens for
play on different days Of the week, and
should he decide TO put any such idea into
practice in the Olympic Club it would only
need little steady cooperation on the
part OF the members to make football
boom again.

by the appearance Of Mr.. Bliss, IL thought
