What the Schooner Vine Has Brought
From the South Sea Islands
For the Fair.

Forty-eight days ago the charming little
sch ooner Vine left Samoa with an assorted
cargo for this port. She returned from the
trip yesterday.
The greater part of her live freight con-
sisted of forty-,wo reformed cannibals,
who are to contribute to the general in ter
est of the Midwinter Fair. Captain Won
Dahlern reports a fine trip up. Nothing
troubled him but the descendants of the
cannibal kings. The schooner was picked
up by the tug Sea King while yet many
miles eff shore, and towed into port
greatly to the delight of ell on board.
The captain looked pleased as he dropped
his anchor IF Meiggs' wharf, and the
quarantine physician was delighted to
know that there was no disease on board the
vessel. These people came up here for an ex-
nibit at the Midwinter Fair. They are repre-
sentatives OF an almost extinct race OF canni-
men in reality, they Will demonstrate the can
niballstle proclivilies OF their ancestors in a
most unique manner at the fair.
The warriors and the women will 60 into
camp, and they are expected to show visitors
10 the fair how their papas and mammas were
in the habit of disposing OF their enemies after
having captured and roasted them.
The leaders expressed surprise when they
learned that strife was again life In their island
homes and lost all interest in the prospecl Of
getting on shore even IN time for the arrival Of
Rex for the ca rniyal on the 18th inst.
The people are some of the greatest warriors
OF the South Pacific Isles and are proud of
their ancestry.
They Will be a notable acquisition to the
MIuWinter Fair.

SOLDIERS AND WANDERERS.
The Keenest Contested Game of
the Series.
is WON BY THE FORT MAsoNs.
The Score One Goal to Nil-Both
Teams Were Without Four of
Their Best Players.

1t was q great game and evoked the
widest enthusiasm among the spectators
on the grand stand ana the large crowd
that gathered on Poverty Flat yesterday
afternoon.
II was the fourth game of the second
round for championship honors of the
Pacific Coast Association Football League
played at the recreation grounds of the
Midwinter Fair and the eontesting teams
were tine Fort Masons and Wanderers.
The teams were evenly matched, and
from start to finish of the game it was nip
and tuck which would come out victorious.
The Fort Masons we're without the help Of
four Of their best players-Kiltey, Hanley.
Farrell and Harrison-but the Wanderers
were in as bad fix. as Morrison, Marsh,
Nor and Fyfe were absent.
1t is not invidious to say that the Fort
Masons played a better com bination game
than their opponents, and their we'll
earned victory by one goal to nothing
with the wind against them was greeted
with rounds of applause. The Wanderers
played at skies and sevens; there was
total absence of combination, and had it
not been for Gray. their goalkeeper, who
is almost without a rival in that position,
the score against them would have been
very much larger.
The game started an hour earlier than
usual, and shortly after l o'clock tae teams
lined IN as follows:

DESPERATELY CLOSE FINISH.
1sE MAKES A GREAT EFFORT.

There is joy in San Jose. The Garden
City cyclists are dancing with glee, while
the faces Of the Acme boys are overcast
with gloom. For, has not the great 100
mile relay race around the shores of the
bay fallen to the lot of The Garden City
Club?
Wilbur Edwards is the name of the
sturdy young athlete who proudly bore
first the sacred missive from Mayor Ellert
in San Francisco to Mayor Pardee in Oak
land, without mourning the necessary ten
cent fee for passage in one Of the South
ern Pacific CompaDg's ferry-boats. To do
that he had 10 ride neck-shd-neck for the
