OAKLAND NAVY
The Flash Captures the
Third Race.
Smith Loses by a Mishap-Disgrace-
full Conduct of the Yacht
Edna.

The third race of this years series of the
Oakland Navy took place yesterday. The
Flash again came out the winner by three
minutes. Smith, in the canoe Dart, come
to grief as usual. In jibing around the
Alameda buoy on the first round his sheets
became tangled and be was thrown into
the water after having lead of fully half
a mile.
The start of the yachts was the finest
this season, and shows that the adoption OF
the one-gun start Is success. The first or
red class of ten started across within ten
seconds. while the second or white class
passed over in forty-five seconds. The
different yachts with their changes, as
before described in these columns, ap-
peared on the field of battle, and are far
in advance OF anything seen here before.
The new sail of the Dream was a rev.
citation to all. The new entry of Captain
Beatle, the Orca, fouled the Winchester.
but having the right OF way was not ruled
out.
The race itself developed nothing start
ling. except that IL showed that in fair
breeze and no sea the Flash is an exceed
ingiy smart craft. Captain Won Schmidt
waited until 10 A. NJ. for his new suit of
sails. and as IL did not appear by that time
he had 10 put on The old ones he used last
season, which were of no use whatever.
but with all that he got fifth place.
The action of Captain Lancaster of the
Edna occasiOned much adverse criticism.
AT the start OF the second class he was in
such a position that he cut off the wind OF
some OF the yachts in the race, and, as he
was but mere spectator. he was notified
by the judges boat that he was handicap
ping the contestants. Tie reply that was
sent back from the Edna was a boot and a
howl. followed up by his reaching across
the stern of the feet and cutting of their
wind entirely.
The corrected times OF the different
yachts for the race is as follows: Flash,
hour IL min. 30 Sec; Flying Scud, hour

EvANGELISTIC WORK.
Rev. Mr.. Yatman of New York Ar
rives to Take Charge.

kew. Mr. fdtmdn OF New YORK Ar =
rives to Take Charge.
Rev. Charles Ii. Yatman of New York.
a man who has given his life to evangel-
istc work, is in the city.
He comes here from the East in response
to a call from the Methodist ministers of
San Francisco to conduct the religious
meetings that will be held in vacant lot
at the corner of Seventh and Mission
streets during the continuance of the Mid
winter Fair.
The meetings will commence next Sun
day in tent that has seating capacity of
1000.
Rev. Mr.. Yatman is a progressing man
of about 40 years of age. and in his ordi-
nary conversation would impress one as a
thinker and an energetic worker in the
cause In which be is enlisted.
He has been engaged since 1892 in con-
Quoting evangelstic meetings in New
York. and IS now on leave of absence of
two months to accept the call from this
city.
The secret of Rev.. Mr.. Yatman's sue
cess in converting erring men and women.
he says, is by the cooperation of wealthy
men, who, by giving liberal contributions,
thus enable him to establish shelters, and
otherwise distribute charity so as to at.racl
the masses.
During the term Of the services in the
tent similar meetings will be held in the
churches, and to harmonic these and Dui
them all in good working order Mr.. Vat
man has been called here.

"OUR DAILY BREAD"
Rev. George e. Walk on the "Lord' S
PRAYER"

fTdycT.
Rev. George E. Walk. rector of Trinity
Episcopal Church, delivered his fifth SER
mon of a series on the Lords Prayer at
Golden Gate Hall last evening.
His text was, "Give us this day our
daily bread"
This text" he said. sis one of the first
petitions of the third division of the
prayer that has for It's object the welfare
of man.
"The real meaning of our daily bread, ."
continued the eloquent divine. after ex-
planning the many theories of its origin
with the an clients, must be sought and
can be determined in the gen eral indica-
tons OF God in nature and Ia grace"
Taking the latter indication he said !:
This view involves the Idea of something
beyond the mere rude or normal condition
OF things. as it respects either the material
or immeterial.
But il is doubtless true that all the ex-
istences of both material and immateriaf
worlds are susceptible of vast cultivation,
refinement and development In all their
endless varieties"
Regarding the indications of nature he
said: with regard to good, there is the
greatest abundance both in quantity and
taste. God has forbidden nothing Of an
animal or vegetable kind that our taste
and knowledge approve.
1.-The enjoyment of these blessings he
has placed within our reach, and by most
solemn decree demands of us 10 return
industry. perseverance, and gratitude.
Therefore, when we pray for our daily
bread so far as our bodily wants are con-
cerned, we pray tor a disposition TO bow
In humble submission to this decree. We
pray for health and strength. for fruitful
seasons. and that we may enjoy the kind
and nourishing products of our toll
again" he said, this petition contains
an answer to the oft-repeated question,
Does God care for me?'"

WANTS ALlMONY.
Banker paxton's Wife Brings Suit
for Maintenance.

Banker paxton's Wife Brings Suit
for Maintenance.
Mrs. Bessie Paxton is about to seek a
legal separation from her husband. Blitz
w. Paxton, the Sonoma County banker.
Papers In suit for alimony have al
ready bsen filed in the Superior Court of
this county, and divorce proceedings are
quite likely to follow. The grounds al
legged, when the divorce suit is instituted,
will be desertion and extreme cruelty.
Mr.. and Mrs Paxton were married Ia
July. 1882, and separated several years
later. The fruit of their union was two
children, Laura w. Paxton, who is now 9
years old, and John A. Paxton, whose age
is about II years. The boy has been quite
blind for several years.
Since the separation Mrs. Paxton has
spent most of the time with relatives In
the East and has seen her husband but
twice. In the complaint filed Saturday she
asserts that he has made little or no effort
to maintain her or her children and that
she has been compelled to work in order
10 support them. She also alleges that no
good grounds for the conduct of her hus-
band toward her existed.
Ii is understood that Paxton will make a
strong fight against his wife ana that an
answer to the complaint in the suit for
alimoDy will be fled. which will be of
quite an interesting nature.

Of all the seasons in the year
the Spring is the time for
making radical changes in
regard to health. During
the winter, the system be-
comes clogged with waste,
loaded with impurities, ow-

confinement in poorly ven
tilated shops and homes,
and other causes. This is
the reason for the dull.

most important and damaging evidence
against the defendant was refused

had been returned as ignored. Here John
