that while one will refuse, another Will
give them what they ask. The chain
gang proposition will work we'll with
criminals, but cannot be put in opera
ton in city OF this class. The law
will not reach q man for simply walking
the streets, as many seem to think, and
the present condition 10 peculiarly
against the policy Of stocking our jails
with any but the criminal element.
ATHLETIC POINTERS.
Interest continues to increase in ath-
letic sports generally among the younger
members OF the Athletic club.
The latest move on the part Of this
enterprising association Is the engage
ment of Martin Murphy of Los Angeles
and late OF San Francisco to give instruc-
tionB in boxing. Mr.. Murphy is one of
the foremost instructors in his line on
the coast, having trained some of the
leading boxers OF the country, and the
club is exceedingly fortunate in being
able to secure his services.
A good-sized class has been formed.
and instructions will be given twice
week, on Tuesday and Friday evenings.
The class ie open to all club members
by the payment of a small extra assess
ment, and those wishing to take ad-
vantage of this excellent opportunity
should report at once.
An entertainment ia contemplated by
the club shortly, but whether it will be
open or for club members only has not
yet been decided upon.
The one recently given to members
only was much enjoyed, and 1t is to be
hoped the boys will be able to show the
public what they can do in the athletic
line before long.
THE GOSPEL UNION HERE AGAIN.
The Pacific Gospel union, which was
recently closed by the owner of the
building in which they had quarters, re-
fusing to let them remain on account OF
the tramp nuisance, is again on top.
Meetings we're commenced again this
evening in the upper story of the build
ing next to the Balmoral hotel, formerly
used by the Salvation army, where o
special Thanksgiving service was held.
1t is not known whether or not the
union will continue it's plan OF furnish
ing quarters for all who make applica-
ton, but it is hoped that this part Of
the programme will for the general good
OF the community be dropped. Now
that the city has taken hold of the
matter there 10 no necessity for such &C
ton.
LOCAL EXHIBIT.
The committee appointed by the
board of trade on subscriptions to the
midwinter fair fund have been working
under a disadvantage, from the fact
that the public has been given TO under
stand that no special local exhibit can
L, 10 nd ho
will 90 into the general Southern Cali
fornia fund.
1t now appears, however, that if space
can be secured special display can be
made by this locality, which, if arranged
for, will help much in obtaining SUBJ
scriptions.
A percentage OF all subscriptions re-
ceived will be devoted to the local ex-
artists will make exhibits any way,
while in case a special local display is
made large number of other branches
of art, music, business, ETC., will be
represented.

are being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. The carpets on the second,
third and fifth floors have all been laid,
and it is expected that all of the carpets
and draperies will be in place by the
middle OF next week. The day for the
grand opening of the hotel has not vet
been set, but it is safe to predict that
it will take place during the last week
OF the present month, when there will
be blowing of trumpets and a general
good time. The programme will include
banquet and full dress ball. to which
the elite of Southern California will be
invited. Manager Holmes and Colonel

until they are completed. They never
do anything by halves, and will no
doubt spring great surprise on the
Southern California society element.
