Sergeant Tom Maho ney, the pride OF the
Harbor police, from around the bows of a
stationary streetcar suddenly descended
upon a gang of small newsboys who had
suspended their journ alistic labors for the
pernicious delights of crap game. There
were thirteen Youngsters engag ed in their
Illegal pleasures, and the sergeant got
every one in his long, loving arms. But it
was an unlucky number for the officer, for
his. captives wiggled and squirmed and

Henry Silvia and Abraham Shubner, were
left IN the tolls. At the police station
Shubner was making an eloquent plea of
entire innocence, when Captain Dunleavy,
who was searching him, found a card in
his pocket stating that he was a member
OF the Ancient and Independent Order of
Liars, qualified TO lie from January l to
December 81 inclusive. That settled Abra-

James Dolan, longshoreman who lives
at the Bonanza House, was celebrating the

In falling he struck against a floating pile,

The yawl yacht Frolic was out yesterday
gathering in the breeze, the first of the
pretty pleasure squadron to leave winter
quarters. She had large party on board,
and. despite the rain and cold, they fully
en- ioyed this initial cruise of the season.
Captain Bartlett, her crack skipper, is
never last when the fiag-yachts unmoor-
ing gun is fired, and Mrs. Bartlett is the
most enthusiastic and efficient seawoman
IN the feet.
The Frolic was once owned by Commo-
dore Harrison of the San Francisco Yacht
Club, by whom she was designed and
built. She will be manned by the same
old crew that sailed in her last year, and is
the musical craft Of the squadron. The
delightful cruises of the club last year to
Mare Island and the vicinity were always
much more enjoyed when she was along to
diSperse sweet strains of melody on the
moonlit waters.

IN the running and working.
ANNIE Laurie handled Captain Morse in
good style, beating him in a very good
trial
Skyball had a narrow escape from Long
fellow, and when the hare fell the judge
gave 1t as undecided. In the run-off Sky
pail won good course.
Vida Shaw and Waratah had also a
pretty close run, but Vida certainly had
the best of it, and again the red flag flew
out.
Stamboul and Jennie G ran an undecided
course, and in the second run Jennie G
won.
Nelly Conroy in the last course of the
ITst round had an easy win from Tom
Hays.
In the second round Annie Laurie beat
Valley Queen.
Skyball ran short course with Vida
Shaw and beat her.
Jenny G and Nelly Conroy were slipped
to good hare, but both dogs went out
well. Jenny, however went off from her
game toward the fence and Nelly Conroy
had the balance of the course to herself,
Jenny coming up again at the death.
In the third round Skvball fell before
the MERGED bitch and with him fell all the
! talent heavily, the long-odds men taking
pocketfulls of So and $40 pieces from the
followers of the hitherto invincible brindle.
Nelly Conroy ran a bye, and after the
usual half hours rest Annie Laurie and
Nelly Conroy were placed in slips for the
final. Betting was heavy and excitement
strong, Conroy being the favorite. They
were slipped to good hare at distance OF
about sixty yards. Annie Laurie shot out
at once, leading Nelly Conroy all the way,
and beat her from start to finish, winning
the St Patricks cup worth $50 and the
collar OF shamrocks provided for the
winner. Nelly Conroy got $35, Skybail
$26, Valley Queen, Vida Shaw and Jennie
G $40 each.
