promise some good contests If the public
wants them. Although the playing was

: Since the Mdwinter Fair closed and strangers
left town the statues of SutrO heights have
grown lonesome for company. City visitors to
SutrO's garden on the cliff are few and far be-
tween, and the high board fence that Mr. SutrO
built around the Cliff House delers many from
going out TO the beach, There is nothing TO be
seen unless one pays high for 1t is the plant
which arises from people who like TO make fire.
quent trips to the ocean, with the Cliff House
and Sutro Heights for an objective point-for
city folk have a decided objection TO paying 20
cents eaTfare, % cents for the privilege of
viewing the seals and an extra tariff for admls-
sion to the heights.
"And the railroad company is not earning
enough to pay for oil for The wheels" remarked
Suro yesterday in the ample seclusiOn of his
home On The cliff strangers in town came
out here and paid TO see the cliff and the
heights, but they are all gone. We are left to
ourselves now, and Pm sure it will be so till
we get 5cent fare TO the ocean. The rail- DAD
IS losing money through Its ObstlDacy, for It's
roads Will not be patroniZed so long as there
are NO attractions here.

for me to open them before the fare Is cents.

FOOD FOR CHINA.
Proposed Shipments of
Canned Beef.
The Local Market Stimulated-Bad
Condition of the Steamer
Willamette's Machinery.

Owners of English vessels now in port are
contemplating move that may surprise our
local business men. 1t Is said that such ships
as cannot secure charters that are now in port
Will be loaded with flour at the owners risk
and sent to China.
If the story be true it is high time that San
Francisco shippers commence TO think little
about speculating; but even should they fall
TO take any risks the orders placed by the for
eignerS will be sure TO stimulate the local
market.
1t was rumored yesterday that an order had
been placed with big canning company for
$1,000 tins OF canned beef. A representative
OF the house In question stated that there was
some talk OF such an order, but he did not care
to discuss II, as 1t would not be good business
policy to do so at this juncture.
Among the Chinese merchants who visit the
Merchants Exchange there are those who will
admit that their country is stocking np with
provisions All seem to think that tbe war Will
not last, but that peace Will be negotiated be-
fore any serious blow Is struck.
So far the rumors Of conflict have had no
material effect on the shipping interests OF the
port. The large shipments OF flour mentioned
as having been recently made on the China
steamers are no criterion OF the plan OF action
of the Chinese Government.
The Rio Janeir0. that sailed The other day.
took out large cargo of -four, as did the two
steamers before her, but heavy flour shipments
were the rule several months before there were
anv authentic signs of strife IN Asia.
The application of one of the creditors of the
Oregon Pacific Railroad Company for the i'm
mediate sale OF the steamer willamette Valley
has caused an investigation OF her machinery
to be made. The story of the rapid destrlc-
tion by rust is correct. This paper called at
tention TO the fact about four months ago. II
some hing is not done TO save the vessels en-
gines they Will be of little value in short time.
The arrival of a fleet of deepwaIer ships in
the past week has added to the large number
OF vessels in Mission Bay and other parts OF
NJ
tonnage are anchored within sight of the pass
Ing Oakland boats. Not In fifteen years have
there been so many vessels lying idle.
Mission Bay became so full Of craft that a
dozen or more vessels were anchored off Fol-
som street. Now there are eight or ten ships
north OF the ferry farway, some OF which are
waiting to dock. but The majority are anxiously
waiting to secure a return cargo for Europe.

Pass the Half Century Mark
and Two the Century.

Two very important events occurred in
the cricket field yesterday. The worlds
record OF 333 for no wickets was beaten by
Robertson aud Sheath of the Bohemias,
and the Pacific Coast record for single
score was beaten by Robertson with 206
not out. The fact that the CALIFORNIA;
bowling was weak is indsputable; but
the mere fact Of such a gigantic score in a
one-day match is very remarkable. Two
hundred runs were put up within eighty
minutes, during which time only one
chance was given, and that by Sheath.
after he had passed his century by nine
runs.
The CALIFORNIA; went in first and made
the /creditable score OF 9S, to which Dun
lap, Lugg and Arson were the chief con-
tributOrs. Then followed the deluge. The
result, as shown in the following scores.
was in favor of the BOhemlas by 10
wickets and $50 runs.

BERNHARDT'S PATRIOTISM.
Death in Preference to Sailing on

Mir. Strakosh, "was an incident which hap

on the British steamer CotopaXi-ano a good

as we were passing through the Straits OF
Magellan we ran into sand bank. The
steamer drew eighteen feet OF water and
had unfortunately entered the straits at

would never be fulfilled. and that we were
doomed TO stay where we were for three weeks
for you must know ii Is only usual for steam-
ers Of this line to pass there every three weeks.
Sarah was distracted. She tore her hair, she
beat her breast in her lnimitable manner, and
she used the-well, classical-language for
which she is noted. There we were, and there
was no prospect OF relief This was about 8

and even the men Of the company felt un-
comfortable. The assurance OF The cap

avail, and everybody was in despair. at
last. about noon, the smoke OF an approaching
steamer was seen in the distance. Everybody's
hopes revived. Aid was at hand and we would
be rescued from our unpleasant position.
Time went by and The steamer drew near. As
she approached the Cotopaxi hoisled signals OF
distress and she bore down upon us. But as
soon as her flag was recognizable patriotism

shipwrecked all her life, abandon her profeS-
sion and lose all her hopes of artistic and fnan-
