At the conclusion of Grand President
Otis remarks another song was sung by
the united singing societies.
A grand iollification followed. Both
pavilions were crowded with dancers, who
were furnished music just to their taste by
G. G. Henke's orchestra. Children were
made happy by playing games and by en-
joying themselves in the merry go-round
and the swings.
When darkness set in Shell Mound PARK
was transformed into beautiful
garden illuminated by Chinese lanterns.
The main pavilion was well filled with Ian
terms, though the mellow light made the
scene more romantic one than can easily
be imagined

Lurline, White Wings and several others
slipped their moorings and showed their
snowy cloths to the summer wind that
came in from the ocean.
J. P. Fleming, the professional swim
mer and professional fakir, gave, or at
tempted to give, another Sunday e1hlbl-
ton OF his prowess as an aquatic fraud on
the ferry-boat yesterday.
1t will be remembered that it is this fell
lows game to have confederate fall over
board and be heroically rescued by Elem
ing. Then collection is taken up from
the sympathetic passengers, which the two
worthless divide among themselves.
Yesterday Fleming and q man named
Charles Forbus took passage on the
steamer Ukiah, bound with crowd of pic
nickers for Ell Campo. They were both
well-flled with intoxicants and made
quite spectacle Of themselves before the
curtain arose on their little comedy.
Forbus was afraid to get too far from the
shore ere he committed himself, to the
deep and lunged overheard before the
crowd on board were well settled to take in
the noble act of saving life.
Fleming was SO angry at the timidity OF
the other, which spoiled the proposed
scene, that he refused to rescue, and called
out to his man ito sink and be d"
However, the alarm was given and a
boat from the steamer picked upthe fellow
in the water as we was swimming Justify
for the wharf.
The two men continued on to Ell Campo,
where Fleming, to drown his disappoint-
ment, drank himself into peace-disturb-
ing state, and was arrested for drunkenness
at the ferry landing on his return 10 the
City.
The Pacific Mail steamers Colima and
City of Picking arrived from Panama and
China respectively yesterday.
Affairs are quiet on the surface in con-
nection with the sailer wage war, but both
forces are carrying on the contest with a
gain on the part of the union. Six or
seven vessels have been lying at anchor
for week trying to get crews without sue
cess and several have come in so short
handed that the vessels were almost dis
abled. There are over 500 men wanted for
new crews, and the beginning of the har-
vest season in the grain and fruit localities
of the country, which will draw many sea-
faring men away from the City, will in
crease the want.
A private letter from the Seattle Post
Intelligencer to the CALL states that a
brass plate from the medicine chest of the
lost Montserrat was brought to that city
by Captain Wallace of the City of Topeka
on her last trip from Alaska. The inscrip-
ton on the plate is as follows: an. |. p,
Gulf of California, S. S. Co., s. s. Montser-
rat, Trehearn & Son, London, Cardiff and
Antwerp"
The medicine chest was found on the
southeast end of Etalin Island, Clarence
Straits, February %, and the the plate
taken off by the finder. There is no
doubt that the chest drifted ashore from
the reck OF the Inflated tramp.

parade in this City. The line of march
formed on Post street in front of the hall
of the Independent Order of Red Men, op-
posite Union Square. The local Her
mann's SoEs were REINFORCED by represen-
tatiyes from lodges in Oakland, West
Berkeley, Sacramento, San Jose, Napa,
Livermore, Haywards, Fresno, San Diego,
Los Angeles and Woodland. In ali there
were about 700 men in the procession.
Banners and flags were carried and many
of the men were in regalia. The IL o'clock
boat was crowded with enthusiastic Ger
mans and they went Immediately to Shell
Mound Park.
At P. NJ, after picnic luncheon had
been enjoyed by the thousands present,
the literary exercises began. They were
opened by the singing of German song
by the members Of several societies united
specially for the occasion. II. Friedrichs
acted as leader of the singing societies. A
poem was recited by Mrs Meta Mueller,
whose delivery of the new piece of verse
was so excellent that she received the
heartiest applause. The poem was written
by Max Bergheim, the poet of the day.
IAN address by Grand President f. OFT
was the feature of the programme. He
reviewed the history Of the organization
and gave statistics to prove that great
deal of good work has been accomplished
by it. The Order of Hermann Sons has
about 100000 members. In California
there are 5000 members. San Francisco
Lodge No. l was founded in 1870, since
which time the order has paid out in Cali

To SELL THE LICK HOUSE,
Rumor That the Hotel Will Be
Sold to Satisfy the
Mortgage.
The Latter Amounts to 100000
and Is Held by the Lick
Trustees.

Rumor has it again that the Lick House
will soon be sold. 1t is said that the sale
will be to satisfy the mortgage of $500, 900
held against the property by the Lick
trustees. The late James g. Fair owned
the Lick House, but there was mortgage
on it for the above amount held by the
trustees of the James Lick estate. To-day
the representatives of the Lick estate will
appear in Judge Stacks department of the
Superior Court asking for an order of the
court to permit the special administrators
of the Fair estate to pay the Lick trustees
the mortgage on the Lick House. And
the attorneys for the Fair heirs, or some of
them at least, will, it is said, protest
against the payment of this amount, or in
fact any part of the mortgage.
And it will be this action on the part of
the Fair estate administrators, if things go
as rumored, that will precipitate the sale
of the Lick House. There is, in truth,
what seems to be very good authority, for
upon the payment of at least large part
of the mortgage at once, and there seems
to be equally as good authority for the
rumor that at least those heirs of the late
Senator represented by Attorney Pierson,
and probably some of the others, will pro-
test against the payment and permit a
foreclosure of the mortgage.
When questioned about the rumor last
evening Henry E. Mathews, secretary of
the James Lick trust, would only say that
the matter that would come before Judge
Slack to-day would be "a petition to the
Superior Court asking for an order of the
court to permit the special administrators
to pay the Lick trustees 100000 to enable
them to distribute the trust estate" The
hearing was necessary, he added, ''under
the existing circumstances and for the va
rious interests of the heirs" and beyond
this Mr.. Mathews would not talk at pres
ent. He would neither deny nor affirm the
rumor that has it that the Lick House will
soon be sold at private or public auction.

sLASHED ON THE HEAD.
Frank Kearney Uses Knife Upon
William Aklund During
Drunken Quarrel.

There were loud calls for help and whist
ling for police about o'clock last evening
at 511 Twenty-third street.
As Officer Rlel reached the house William
Aklund staggered out of the door with
blood running in streams down his face.
He said that he had been cut by Frank
Kearney, who was inside. The officer ar
rested Kearney, whom he charged with an
assault to commit murder.
Aklund was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital. where his wounds were dressed. He
was slashed across the head and face in
half dozen places. After being attended
to, Aklund was removed to the City Prison
and charged with being drunk. He was SO
much under the influence of liquor that he
could not give any account of the cause OF
the trouble. Kearney is native of Den
mark, notwithstanding his name, and, like
Aklund, he was too drunk and too stub
born to tell of the trouble.
From what the police could learn the two
men had been socially drinking together
during the day, and the cutting Is believed
to be the outgrowth of a drunken quarrel.

SUNDAY-CLOSING.
Meeting to Be Held to Organize q
State Sabbath Observance
Association,

Association.
As an extension of the Sunday reform
movement, which started some time ago
across the bay and resulted in the passage
of rather stringent Sunday ordinance in
Oakland, call has been issued for gen.
eral meeting of clergymen and others in
terested to form State Sabbath Associa-
ton.
The list of signatures to the call for the
gathering is headed by the name of DR..
John K. Mclean, pastor of the First Con-
gregat1onal Church in Oakland, though
Rev n. r. Johnston, pastor of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, is said to be
the leading spirit. The meeting will be
held in the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton auditorium at o'clock P. NJ.
Most of the objects of the movement are
we'll known. Its dominant idea is the
adoption and enforcement of such legisla-
ton as will require liquor-dealers to close
their places of business on Sunday, in fact
the movement aims at the closing of all
pleasure resorts on that day. This is, per-
haps, as far in the line of accomplishment
as it believes itself capable of at present,
although in the East the Sabbath observ-
ance agitation has comprehended great
deal more than that, and has even at
tempted to have all kinds of unnecessary
business totally suspended on the first day
of the week.

Clubs in Constant
Training.

HOW THEY DO THEIR WORK

The bay in the vicinity of Long Bridge
was dotted over yesterday morning and
evening with the four and single cared
shells and barges of the several boat clubs
which are to participate in the regatta OF
the South End Rowing Club at Ell Campo
May 80.
They were engaged in practice spurts
and hundred-yard dashes for the spirited
contest which is to come off between the
following named clubs on Decoration day
Stockton Athletic Association, Farragut
Club of Vallejo, Acme Athletic Club, the
Alameda Rowing Club, Olympics. Ariels,
Pioneers, Tritons, South Ends and st.
Mary's College Club.
The crews of the several clubs will not
be definitely announced until after the
general meeting on the 18th, as there have
been many changes made in their person
mel on account of accident and other
causes.
The crews of the Pioneer Club will in all
probability be as follows:
senior-Gallopy,. stroke; J.. Shields, after
waist; ]. F. Clifford, forward waist; f. Orr,
bow; w. Flynn, eoxswain.
Junior crew-D. Htzsinmons, stroke; c.
Ochs, after waist; F. O'Niel, forward waist; f.
Michels, bow; W. Flynn, coxswain.
As they stand at present the crews of the
South End Club are as follows:
Junior-Fred La Chappelle, stroke; Frank La
Chappelle, after waist; J. Frickell, forward
waist; M. Conlan, bow.
Senior crew-H. Body, stroke; F. Duplussy,
after waist; D. Hassmer, forward waist; c. Bar
ton, bow.
The other clubs have their crews in con-
slant training, but their personnel cannot
be announced until after the general meet
ing.
All the boys are in excellent form, and
barring those whose misfortune it was to
meet accident, are in the pink of condition.
The scene on the bay near Long Bridge
yesterday was typical. Every morning
and evening for the last two weeks the
rowers have been out for a squirt, and the
effect of their practice is noticeable in the
speed, wind and experiences which are be-
ing developed. This constant training will
be kept up until the second day before the
great regatta.
Among the features of the nautical tour
ney will be several professional exhibition
races between four-oared barges and SOULS.
There will also be canoe race between
w. Espy and G. Callopy of the Pioneers.
They will use canoes made by the Alaskan
Indians out of hide, in which even the ex-
pert rover, unless accustomed to that
style of craft, finds it difficult to keep from
capsizing. 1t will, no doubt, be one of the
interesting contests of the regatta.
Several single-scul races, not down On
the programme, are being arranged, and
the competing clubs will put forth their
crack men for these brushes.
From now until the last of the month
the members of the several crews will levy
severe tax on the hen product of the
adjacent country, each man consuming
from six to q dozen and half eggs daily
for his wind.

Yesterday the Weather Bureau cooled
his nautical enthusiasm with a slight

and set the ships a-rocking ever SO little,

THE YOUNG LADY DROVE.
A Tie-Up of Cars on the O'Farrell-Street
Line Ensues.

An excited crowd gathered around two
young ladies and their escorts at the cor
ner of O'Farrell and Powell streets yester-
dav afternoon. The young people had been
riding in a two-seated carryall, and one OF
the girls drove.
The streets are wide, and there was no
trouble till they reached Powell street.
There the conductor of an O Farrell-street
car ran out and lifted the iron lever with
which the cable is depressed at the cross
ing. The man was under the horses hoofs,
and the girl driver, becoming confused,
pulled the wrong line and got the team
tangled with the lever.
Wild confusion ensued. Both horses
began to kick. The doubletrees at last
gave way and the traces were broken. This
foosened the horses, and they started to
run away. They were soon caught and
returned to their places. In the mean
while the vehicle had caused blockade of
the cars, which lasted till the harness and
the carriage were repaired.

that many years ago, when that portion OF
