BERKELEY,

The third game this season between the
university nine and the Reliance team was
played on the university campus yesterday
afternoon. The audience was much larger
than at any previous game between the
two mines. The game was very slow from
start to finish, and the only spark of en-
thusiasm that issued at all was in the
eighth inning. Bert Oliver made a few
brilliant plays and the only home run of
the day. A few good fly catches were
made. and a fine double play was made
by Elston and Blasingame. The Reliances
won the game with a score of IL to A.
Following is the official score:

and when they died away the orchestra
played selection from Meyerbeer.
The benedictlon was then pronounced by
Rev. DR.. Wythe and the audience dis
persed to further celebrate the birthday of
the university in whatever way they chose.

A GALLANT BRITISH TAR.
The Captain of the Ebere1die Arrives
From the Orient.

The Captain of the Ebereldie Arrives
From the Orient.
Among the passengers who arrived on
the Belgic from China and Japan yester-
day was Captain P. K. Barnet, the dare
devil Englishman who sailed the British
steamer Ebereldie from London to Yoko-
suka. The vessel was loaded with dyna-
mite and other ammunition for the
japanese Government, and the Chinese
cruisers were on the lookout for her. Not
a Chinese vessel was encountered ON the
run. The steamer sailed from Lord Arm
strong's works at Newcastle for Hamburg
thence to Antwerp and London, from
where she proceeded to Yokosuka. The
owners of the Ebereldie received big sum
for the vessel and cargo, and the captain
got handsome sum for his work.
Barnet is a cousin of William Meereson,
cashier the Occidental Hotel, with whom
he will spend his time during his stay in
San Francisco.

A Clever SwindIer.

C. w. Manwaring, chairman of the Repub-
lican County Committee, and J. F. Morgan of
1015 McAllister street, have been the victims
of clever young swindler. On March 16 the
young man called upon Mr. Manwaring and
handed him the following note: Friend
Charley-Please let bearer have $40 for me
until Monday" The note was signed Frank
Morgan. A few days later the two met, and
Morgan was politely reminded of the tenn
porary loan. He was surprised, and Man
waring produced the note, which Morgan at once
declared forgery. Yesterday Morgan swore
out warrant for the arrest of John Doe on
the charge of forgery. Mr. Manwaring has
little recollection of the appearance of the
minutes.
