THE OLYMPIC CLUB.
William Greer Harrison and John ID.
SpreckelS Address the Members.

thusiastic gathering of athletes at the
Olympic Club last evening. The members
assembled purposely to see the natators
enjoy themselves in the tank. which was
filled for The first time with salt water.
AS stated in THE CALL OF yesterday
band of music was on hand to stir up any
latent feelings which might have taken
possession of the hearts OF members who
had failed to appreciate the value Of salt
water in the club when the matter was
first introduced by ex-Presldent HARRISON.
The music certainly assisted very
materially to make the opening night the
success ii certainly proved to be-. After

members In words appropriate TO Inc occa-
sion he introduced John ID. Spreckels. the
man whose money was the means of the
Introduction of water from the ocean into
the Olympic Club.
Mr.. Spreckels was somewhat bashfui,
and stated that, as he was not an orator,
he begged to be- excused from making any
extended speeches; that lie was delighted
to know that the salt water had come to
stay, and that was sufficient glory to him
for the expenditure of coin which he could
not have placed to better advantage.
Sam Shortrdge and d. NJ. Delmas ad
dressed the gathering. and then William
Greer Harrison, the man whose great
mind had figured out the saltwater prob
lem. made a short speech. During his re-
marks. which were brief and 10 the point.
he was frequently interrupted by rounds
of applause. Mr.. Harrison concluded by
remarking that be had fulfilled his promise
to the club, and he hoped that, as the club
was bound to grow in strength. it would
see the advantage of increasing its grand
structure by purchasing the property

President Hyde's Fight for Wooden
Addition.

President Hyde of the Board of Educa-
ton is making an heroic effort to induce the
Supervisors to allow him to build wooden
addition to the Schoolhouse on the corner
of Bush and Stockton streets. AS this is
against the fire ordinance, the Supervisors.
acting under the advice Of Chief Sullivan
of the Fire Department are not disposed
to permit the addition to be made to the
building. Chief Sullivan says that the
city should not violate any OF its own or
dinances, az this would be setting bad
exsmple. He holds that il any addition is
made it should be OF brick.
President HYDE answers that the funds
of the School Department will not permit
the expense of brick addition. which, he
claims, is an absolute necessity Tor the
good OF the Commercial School. there be-
Ing insufficient room to accommodate the
various classes. President Hyde was ex-
pected to have appeared before the Fire

NO MARGIN LEFT.
State Investment Sales at
Issue.
Five Hundred Odd Dollars Held Not
Enough to Divide Among
the Creditors.

There is likely to be lively opposition
to the confirmation of the sales recently
made of property belonging to the bank
rupt State Investment Company.
Several of the creditors and attorneys
interested in the case went before Judge
Slack esterday, in the absence of Judge
Hebbard, to discuss the motion of Matt /.
Sullivan. representing Sheriff McDade.
the official receiver, that the sales referred
to be confirmed. The greater part Of the
creditors were represented by Andrew j.
Clunie and Otto tum SUDDEN.
According to the statement drawn up by
Matt Sullivan, it appeared that the bust
ness and effects generally had fetched a
sum which just exactly covered the amount
due the San Francisco Savings Union,
S79.67O. the property having been bought
in at the sale by the Savings Union. An
other sale was held of the company's per-
sonal property. consisting Of desks. tables.
chairs, etc, which realized the sum OF
S549 IS. These two sales Judge Slack was
formally asked to confirm.
Andy Clnnie opposed the motion by rea-
son Of the absence of Judge Hebbard. He
said that he would have no objection to
the matter being disposed OF by Judge
IL IL were UOb LUZ luc AdCt thdt tHC
Judge knew little or nothing IF what had
transpired concerning the affairs Of the
bankrupt company.
IL know absolutely othing at all about
it." interposed the Judge.
Then your Honor will see that II will be
better to await Judge Hebbard's return,
replied Clunie.
This is a matter which involves con-
siderable law, and We would like TO dis
cuss it before some one who is familiar
with every phase Of the case. For my
part | am sure that If Judge Hebbard
were here he would not allow either of the
sales TO stand.
Judge Hebbard has already called the
attention of the Grand Jury to the affairs
of this company, and we expect that an
investigation will shortly follow. AS to
the sales as they now stand it will be- seen
that there " i'll be something like $500 TO
divide among the creditors. So we shall
certainly oppose their confirmation.
Otto tum SUDDEN said that he also would
oppose confirmation of the sales. In fact,
he desired 10 file a written opposition to
their confirmation.
''Oh, well, if there is 10 be any opposi-
ton | shall certainly not take the matter
up" said Judge Slack. II understand
that Judge He6bard will be here by Mon
day next. and | think he is the proper man
to hear this application. Let the matter
stand over until his returD."
The further hearing of the matter was
ordered set for Tuesday next at 2 P. NJ.

TOBOGGANING AND SKATING.
New Attractions and Increasing
Popularity of the Rink.

New Attractions ana increasing
Popularity of the Rink.
The toboggan slide at the Mechanics
pavilion, in conjunction with the natural
ice skating rink, is rapidly approaching
completion. aud with other concessions is
expected to be in readiness for grand
opening on Saturday night. Arrange
ments have been made with all parties
concerned, so that all the attractions in
the Pavilion will charge the uniform price
of ten cents for admission. which fact is
calculated to make this familiar spot,
where fun has run Iiot so often In the
past. central place Of attraction to
amusement lovers.
The slide is so arranged that starting
from the highest point near the roof on
the Polk-street side OF the building cars
loaded with passengers will receive mo-
mentum sufficient to make complete cir
cult of the building, passing along the
upper gallery, shooting down across the
front into the Hayes street wing, and
there being hauled up by cable to the high
est point. For ten cents each passenger
will be entitled to ride twice around The
course. All along the ride scenery has
been arranged so that the ride is very real
a glimpse of the whole skating rink ice
surface. and then shooting through tun-
nels, over imaginary mountains, through
grottos, the cars stop at he lower landing
ON the Hayes-street side.
The entrance TO the rink proper will be
moved back to the platform line, so that
those in attendance each day will have an
unobStructed promenade around the whole
building.
Coupon tickets will be sold at the box
Office which will entitle the holder to ad-
mission at the front door and to any one
of the concessions. or TO the skating rink.
This is calculated to draw large crowds
daily, and the endanee at the rink has
been such that the management has been
forced to put on special attractions Tor
each night not occupied by polo contests.
Last night the enlivening feature was
human wheelbarrow race, in which one
skater, turning on his left foot and ex-
tending his hands backward, IS pushed
over the ice surface by another skater
back OF him. This race occasioned more
mirth than has been created at the rink
for long time. Gouin and Burns, two of
he best Iancy skaters in this part of the
country, acted the part OF the wheelbaT-
row last night.
Tonight will be one of the best polo
contests of the league series. it being the
tenth, and will be between the San Fran
cisco and and Olympic teams.
The Festina Lente Club turned out in
large numbers yesterday afternoon aud,
like all other ordinary mortals, skated
with whoever was pleased 10 attend the
rink. They will Ontinue 10 meet Tuesday
and Friday afternoons as usual, on which
days The rink management will have addi-
tional music and Will keep the rink open
untii o'clock At these meetings club
members will be charged only 50 cents, in
Guiding skates, and the general public will
be welcomed along with them.
