THE HORSE SHOW.
The Directors Say They Are
Highly Satisfied With the
Results.
Rapid Changes in the Pavilion to Make
Way for the State Poultry
Exhibition.

Half hundred men labored yesterday
to demolish the remains of the horse
show at the Pavilion. By noon there was
little to suggest the ultra-fashionable exhl-
bition which had drawn to a close the
night before.
Tuesday morning there will be another
change of scene. Then the Pavilion will
resound with the caekle and crow OF prize
poultry. Leghorns and Brahmas will con-
test for blue ribboas.
The near approach of the poultry show
made haste in clearing the Pavilion i'm
perative. AS a result all of the horses
were removed yesterday morning except
those which are to pass under the hammer
of Killip & Co. this morning. These were
quaItered in the annex, where they were
given the most jealous attention by their
grooms.
The horses which are to be sold were
all so designated in the catalogue, so pros
pective purchasers have had ample time
to inspect them.
The directors and all interested in the
show express themselves as highly pleased
with the results. A large number of them
spent the day at Burllngame, where III. K.
Bloodgood, Richard +. Carman and f. L.
Underwood, the New York whips who
acted as judges, and Samuel w. Taylor,
editor of the Rider and Driver, were the
guests of Charles Baldwin, j. Talbot Cliff
ton, Henry ]. Croker, Walter S. Hobart,
J. D. Grant and other prominent horse
admirers. The party left the Pavilion in
tallyho coaches yesterday morning at 10
o'clock.
Assistant Secretary Obed Horn was in
the midst of confusing array of books,
papers, checks, ETC., when seen yesterday
at the association headquarters in the
Mills building. 1.-THE exhibition" he said,
''has been all the directors hoped for. The
attendance was good and the financial
part of the show will undoubtedly be very
satisfactory. Or course we have not yet
had time to straighten out everything, and
it will probably be week before we get
the prizes paid off and know just where
we stand"

WITH MASONIC RITES.
Funeral of DIR. w. ID. Johnston From
Cooper College.

The funeral of DR.. w. D. Johnston took
place Yesterday afternoon from the audi
torium of the Cooper Medical College,
with which institution he had been con-
nected as professor of chemistry since its
opening. He was extremely popular with
both students aud faculty, and it was their
wish that he be buried from the lnstltu-
ton to which he had contributed SO much
of his energy and affection. The pallbear-
ers were Professors Lane, Plummer, Film
wood Hirschfelder, Abrams and Steele and
the entire faculty of the college, with the
exception of DIR. Wythe, who was unavoid-
ably absent.
Dr. Mackenzie delivered the funeral ad-
dress, and the music was furnished by
choir from Mount Moriah Lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons, of which order DR..
Johnston was member. At the Masonic
Cemetery the remains were placed IN the
receiving vault with the usual Masonic
rites. There were many beautiful and APP
Ipropriate floral pieces.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL
A Burglar Breaks Into the First Con-
gregational Church and Steals
the Bible.

There is one man in the world whom
DR.. Charles o. Brown of the First Congre-
gational Church on Post street especially
desires to be converted. That man is the
burglar who broke into the church last
Thursday night and stole the Bible off the
sacred desk.
The thief forced several doors in the
basement and made his way to the audi
forum, where he found the book. A num-
Der of other articles of more or less value
were taken, but the Bible was the costliest
part of his booty, it being present to the
church and highly priced by the pastor
and congregation.
DR.. Brown says if the thief took the
Scriptures for the purpose of searching
them to his eternal benefit the church will
bear the loss with patience, but the fellow
might have begun his labors without
breaking the divine command in the
fifteenth verse of the twentieth chapter
of Exodus

Should the weather be clear this fore
noon testing of the dynamite battery will
be resumed at the Presidio. Owing to the
fog the firing set for Saturday was post
poned until 10 A. NJ. to-day. The officers
having charge of the tests announce that
5GO-pound projectiles charged with dyna-
mite will be thrown to-day.
The Army and Navy Register of Novem-
Der 80 devotes considerable editorial space
to comment on the report recently pub
lished in THE CALL that soldiers of the
Fifth Artillery would be arrested by civil
authorities at Sacramento for killing a citi-
zen during the strike disturbance in July,
1894. The release of Naele on habeas cor
pus for killing Terry is cited to show that
the soldiers if arrested would be at once re-
leased on habeas corpus by the Federal
courts on the ground that they were acting
within the sphere of United States author
ity when the citizen was shot.
