BERKELEY.

Yesterday aftern Don the cinder track of
the university. which has seen so many
field and track contests between collegians
and also lower-schOol men, was invaded
for the first time BIZ athletes from the
grammar schools. The occasion was the
field day of the Oakland grammar schools,
and all the boys and their friends were
there to witness it. A small army OF par
ticipants-120 in numbeT-marched into
the grounds at 2 80 O'Clock, each grade by
itself. The events were arranged so that
all the contestants of any event were from
one grade. Four prizes were given to the
four winners OF each grades event The
first, second. third and fourth grades were
restricted to running events. The higher
grades in addition entered for the jumps
and shot-put.
After these events tug-of- war was ar
ranged between the Lincoln and Durant
schools. The LincOlns in four minutes
won the pull. Then the Lincolns defeated
the Franklin school and we're awarded the
first prize. Mr.. 9TH, instructor in physical
culture in Oakland schools, originated the
idea of a grammar-schOol field day and he
hopes to see it become an annual custom.

on Bruins. and the farmer had him ar

rested on a charge OF stealing the goods
which had been brought to the Bruus
ranch. These articles consisted of a port

esis. Mr. Fassking came TO California
early in the sos and spent considerable
money in coal mines, but finding it of no
avail, disposed of his interests and came
to this city in 1865. Thinking this a good
point for a summer resort, he purchased
the tract since known as Fassking Park,
erected hotel, beautified the grounds and
did thriving business. Here he erected a
large pavilion, which was burned down,
and one still larger erected. About this
time came the ebb tide in the resort bust
ness in Alameda and reyerses followed in
quick succession. until in his last years he

THE BRIDGE QUESTION.

Covington, La. April "a, 1894.
J. NJ. Abney, ESQ.,, President Police
Jury:
Dear Sir---I see from the st. Tam
many FARMER of last Saturday. that
the Police Jury has decided to locate
the iron bridge over the Rogue Falia n
the place where the wooden bridge is.
1 cannot but think that this Is great
mistake, for reasons suggested in the
farmer. I do not, Of course, know
what led the Police Jury to adopt the
location of the old bridge, but I am
very certain that it is contrary to the
wiehes OF almost the entire town Of
Covington. II it is merely . question
of expense, am certain that we car
get up . subscription, from private
persons, to meet the additional ex-
pense, but I imagine the cost would
be even less than in the old location.
Would it be possible to call . special
meeting Of the Police Jury to consider
this question? If 1t could be done
believe We could convince them that
the location adopted Is, in every way,
undesirable, and that the wishes, inter.
est and convenience of the town and
parish will be best subserved by running
the bridge over the river just below
Claiborne Cottage, as proposed.
Yours very truly,
T.. ID. SAUNDERS.

The newspaper fraternity o.
Jacksonville, Fla, is much agitated
over the case Of three reporters
who are to appear before the United
States court at that place on q
charge Of contempt for publishing
indictments Of the grand jury before
warrants were served.
Here in Louisiana we frequently
find in our country exchanges .
full 1of the true bills found BY
the. Grand Jury. published in the
same issue - the court proceedings.
This practice, although it may be
permitted, is not considered dis
Greet, - it gives the accused warn
ing and enables them to evade the
mandates Of the Law. For tins
reason the farmer never publishes
the report Of the Grand Jury,
although It would doubtless be IN

Bogue Chitto river. Boats have beer

ferry. With . small amount Of work,
this river could be made pavigable fol
forty miles. That country is rapidly
filling up with settlers, the products
being principally lumber, tar, turpen-
tine, cotton, rice, sugar, molaases and
wool. Mr.. Jones, Of the firm of Jones
4 Pickett, represented our parish, in
the recent navigation convention, in
New Orleans, and was largely instru-
mental in securing the appropriation.
About 5000 more is needed to COM
plete the work, and this can doubtless
be secured, if the situation is fully ex-
planned to the Congressional committee.
The Bogue Chitto country is steadily
increasing In importance, and its
request for improved navigation is
reasonable and should receive prompt
and favorable consideration.

EAST LOUISIANA RAILROAD.
EXTENSIONS TO BE MADE.

General Passenger and Freight
Agent Ferguson, Of the East Louisi.
ana Railroad, told a Times. Democra,
reporter that his company had in con
temptation extensive improvements.
It is proposed to extend the road to
Pontotoo, in North Mississippi, a
distance of several hundred miles.
The road will enter the State oil
Mississippi Immediately north Of
Franklintoa, La, about the diyid'
ing line OF Pike and Marion coun.
ties. It will traverse Lawrence
and Coyingtcn counties, but the
route north of the Alabama and
Vicksburg has net been decided
upon as yet. At Pontotoc it will
connect with a narrow gauge line
that runs south from the Memphis
and Charleston division Of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
system. These extensions will
necessarily involve large ontlay
OF money, which viii be raised by
the issuance OF bonds. The first
step toward the fruition Of the East
Louisian's plans will be the extern
ton to the Mississippi State line,
which enterprise will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. BY
establishing this first extension the
East Louisiana will open q large
cotton producing section and there
by create = freight revenue Of re-
spectacle proportions, which will
make the other work more easy.

securing an entrance into the Canal

vey's mission across the water was
to confer with the English stock
holders of the Spanish Fort rela-
tive to the leasing for a long period
