Cleveland has made a good President,
and in his present term has plotted
the ship of State through dangerous
seas. But he is neither q Washington
nor q Grant. At the close of Grants
second term he was q host in his own
party, yet he was defeated, not only by
the ''outs" in his own ranks, but by the
best element in the Republicans, who
thought and believed that it should be
the law of the case that two terms
should suffice. Besides, Cleveland cam
not win and the talk of a third term for
him is i~nfantile in the extreme.

Aspiring to preside over the Const-

/ the coach, passing through gantlet of
onlookers, who either did not have the in
clinatioR or the money to go inside. On
entering the grounds the players were the
recipients of a greater ovation at the hands
of the assembled thousands
Scarcely had the Stanford boys got
within the gates than the coach bearing
the University of California players came
around the corner of Eighth street on
run, rolling from side to side over the cob
blestones in manner that suggested the
possibility of its capsizlng. But the driver
knew his business and brought the lead
ers and then the wheelers around deftly
and the coach was brought to standstill
in front of the entrance. The yells and
cheering were deafening and fairly rivaled
that of the throng on the inside, which
was at the same moment welcoming the
Stanford men who had arrived few mo-
ments before. Everybody was excited,
and it seemed as if the audience had gone
wild. Those outside the grounds quieted
down a little as the men passed in, only to
be awakened to renewed enthusiasm as
they heard the cheering inside as soon as
the men were seen.
The crowds of people who did not enter
the grounds remained on Market and
Eighth streets throughout the entire game,
for they were there after it was over and
answered every yell and cheer given on
the inside. AS the yells would come alter
nately for the q. G. boys or Stanford they
were thus posted on the progress of the
game, and. save that they did not see the
actual playing probably enjoyed it all as
much as those within.
When the game was over the rush for
the cars commenced, the people being
spurred on to. rapid movements by the
dripping rain and probable visions of
fine Thanksgiving dinner awaiting them
at home. The car systems thereabouts
were totally unable to accommodate the
rush for the time being.
Ladies and their escorts piled on the
moving cars. and the wonder is that no
one was injured. 1t shows what hold
the game of football has upon the people
when they will endure all the inconve-
niences incident to yesterdays games for
the sake of witnessing the play. The rain
could not dampen the enthusiasm, though
it ruined many a new creation in fall mil
linery. The ladies stood in wet places,
suffered from the crush entering and leav-
ing the grounds and on the cars, and bore
it all with smiling fortitude, which de-
monstrated that the game was more than
worth it all.
Itwas jolly holiday crowd throughout,
composed of the best people in the COM
munity, and while the game is patronized
by them it is bound to be always success.

BEFORE THE GAME.
Incidents Outside the Grounds.
The Crush at the
GatoS

The three entrances to the grounds-one
on Market street and two on Eighth-were
totally insufficient to accommodate the
immense crowds that began to pour in
from all directions about o'clock. The
streets surrounding the grounds were
packed with surging mass of people, all
endeavoring to enter the park. Ladies
and their escorts were jostled this way and
that, and many toe was stepped upon
and many person vowed if he could get
out of the crowd he would be glad. But
once-one got into it that was impossible,
and slowly but surely he would be crowded
up to the gates and literally showed into
the grounds.
About 2:15 o'clock the Stanford Univer-
sity brass band came marching out Mar
ket street playing the Honeymoon
March," followed by an immense throng
of students, football enthusiasts and small
boys. They were cheered again and again
as they entered the grounds and marched
across the field to the east side and took
seats in the Stanford section. Throughout
the game this band was very much in evil
dence and played in perfect harmony, ex-
cept the base drum, which got wet by the
rain and sounded very doleful and strange
1y out of tune.
The U. G. section was not without its
musical contingent, and this band seemed
to delight in playing at the same time the
Stanford band did, and as the tunes were
different, the effect was somewhat bewil-
dering and anything but harmonious.
Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley resi-
dents had secured their seats in the q. G.
section, of course, and it seemed as though
they must have practiced the "yelP' of the
wearers of the blue and gold often, they
gave it in such unison and with such pre-
csion.
Governor Budd and his wife drove up to
the Market-street entrance of the grounds
about half-past o'clock. They were i'm
mediately recognized by the throug, which
made way for them, and they passed in
and occupied seats in special box through
out the game.
The Stanford coach was the first to ar
rive at the park. 1t was drawn by four
black horses, and laden inside and out
with the players, substitutes and few es-
pecially favored students, who were blow
ing long discordant tin horns. The coach
had been followed all the way out Market
street by an immense retinue OF small
boys, who were right in sympathy with
the entire proceeding, and kept up chorus
Of yelling. The men jumped lightly out Of

a white bulldog with red nose; but when
Growler glanced across the field and saw
his bearship he slipped between his hand
ler's legs and made his escape for parts
unknown.
When the hour for the game arrived it
was estimated that there were between
10000 and 1900 people in the park. and
the places of vantage on the outside of the
grounds were also occupied by ladies and
gentlemen.
Every housetop from which view of
the game could be had was packed with
people who did not fancy being taxed a
dollar to enter the grounds. The City
Hall, or at least that part of it from which
the contest could be seen, was also crowded
with spectators, who watched the progress
of the game through opera and field
glasses.
While the struggle between the giants Of
the gridiron was going on soft rain COM
menced to fall, and then there were hard
words spoken as umbrellas by the hundred
were raised by those who did not fancy a
wetting and Thanksgiving cold. Those
whose view OF the game was shut out by
the sudden rise in umbrellas objected
furlously to the silk blockade and such
remarks as "close her up, "pull down the
blind" "never mind your hat and "get
off tie earth," were heard on all sides of
the park, but the umbrellas remained
hoisted and the rain fell on.
The ground upon which the athletes
tumbled and fun bled in their desperate
efforts to get the pigskin within the touch
line, was getting clamny and soft, as the
slowly descending drops from the sky in
creased in numbers. Chunks of crushed
earth were packed on the noses of the most
desperate and courageous of the players
after each scrimmage, and, indeed, the
faces OF those able athletes who had bat
tied to the end, were literally marked with
mud when they took their departure from
the grldiron.
But those lovely topknots or skull
protectors, Of which so much has been said
and written since college football was in
vented, were in an awful state of dilapida-
ton after the rain and slush caught on.
Yet those brave young men felt pardon
able pride in the awful condition which
their hirsute covering presented at the
finish of the second half of the great
day game of 1895.
Some betting was INDUCED in on the
grounds. with Stanford on the long end,
but in the down town resorts the Berkeley
team sold slight favorite. The bets were
small, few going as high as S..
Notwithstanding that some rough tac-
tics were used by few of the players dur
ing the game to gain point, very few
accidents resulted to mar the sport. Hupp
and Frankenheimer had to leave the field
owing to sprained ankles. Hilborn, who
took Hupp's place, distinguished himself
by knocking an opponent down with his
Est, and for this exceedingly bad breach
Of football etiquette he was Immediately
removed from the gridiron, much to the
,hagrin of his friends, who expected great
,hings from him.
But in football, and especially when a
game is being played, it is
sometimes hard for spirited young man
o hold his fists in subjugation when a
favorable opportunity is offered to resent
IN imaginary insult.
Judging from the way the stanford
,oys handled their opponents in the first

half of yesterdays game everybody ex-
pected to see the Q. c. team badly beaten,
but in the second half the Berkeley lads
changed tactics and made up for lost
ground. Camp and Butterworth were, of
course, very interested spectators, and
watched every part of the game closely.
The Stanford eleven returned last night
to Palo Alto, after enjoying splendid
evenings entertainment at the Bush street
Theater, and the members of the Berkeley
team departed for their homes after hear
ing the opera of "Dr. Syntax" at the
Baldwin Theater, and thus ended the ex-
element and pleasure that attended the
great football game of the year.

IRVING M. SMITH,

To US, as to hundreds of our fellow-cit.
izens, the untimely death OF IRVING M.
SMITH Of Darlington, is personal loss.
He was one OF the most sincere, unaffect-
ed, unselhsh, sanguine fellows it has ever
been our fortune to know, terrific
worker In the interests of any undertak-
ing that appealed to him, and OF zeal
and enthusiasm that, commanding conf
dence in the disinterestedness OF his mo-
tives, aroused the lukewarm TO the sup
port OF their promotion. His buoyant
nature, his boylsh frankness and open
beartedness, his earnestness of purpose
and high ideals, his tireiess devotion
to whatever cause enlisted his effort were
amazing as admirable. We never knew
in the most remote way OF anything that
was small or mean that could be associ-
a.ed with Mr.. SMITHS name. He was as
pure minded as he was warm hearted
He could bear not a particle of NAL
ice, though kcenly sensitive to
the opinions OF his fellow men
whose good will he frankly sought
and won in an unusually large measure,
as he deserved to. And it is significant
of no weakness in his character to say
that he had no enemies. Devoted to the
public interests he sought no personal
honor or emolumeat beyond tho almost
childlike delight that he took in having
his work approved and supported by his
friends and fellow-ci liens. TO Mr..
SMITH more than TO any other one, We
believe, the people of our State owe the
inception Of the Arbor Day idea, one OF
the most beautiful OF conception for
holiday making. And the association OF
his narso with this that has become a
