people witnessed the trials between six
teen dogs, some of whom ran very poorly
owing, evidently, to poor training.
In some instances the hares ran well, but
IN four or five cases they showed but little
stamina.
E. Canavan acted as Judge and James
Grace did the slipping.
The upset of the day was the fall of
Stamboul Queen before a rank outsider
Sea Spray. The Queen was sold in the
pools at 5 to l. but the outsider beat her
well and the talent consequently fell heav-
lily.
Cottage Boy beat Chicopee in good
course, and Redlight did the same to Robin
Hood.
Maggie L had a good course with Lamp
lighter, which she beat.
In the third ties Jimmy Hope ran
against Sea Spray. The former got the
course, but the Judgment was contrary to
what the people around the stand looked
for, and of course they grumbled consid-
erably.
The final course was between Captain
Morse and Jimmy Hope. The trial was a
fair one, but the Captain got the flag and
first money-$l0, and Jimmy Hope took
IS; Seaspray and Maggie M took So each.
Next Sunday the New Occidental Club
will run its spring meeting in this park,
and $50 will be added to the stake. John
Grace will Judge and James Wren will
handle the slips. This fact alone is always
sure to draw the crowd to whichever park
they attend.

ENGLISH And THE WEATHER
The GOVERNMENT NEEDS A NEW
WORD AND GIVES AN OLD
ONE A TWIST.
UNCLE SANS FAIR DAY" MAY
HAVE EVERYTHING DISAGREE
ABLE BUT RAIN.

Mr.. Harmon, the weather man, rose in
self-defense yesterday and got out of lit
tie scrape with flying colors by explaining
the English language as it is telegraphed
by the weather service.
1t turns out that probably not one reader
of the daily papers in a thousand under
stands what the weather bureau means
when it talks about flair" day and its all
owing to the poverty of the language. The
weather service needs new word, but it is
not bold enough to make one.
MMr Hammon's forecast of Saturdays
weather for San Francisco and vicinity
was: Fair, but somewhat threatening;
foggy Saturday morning; cooler Saturday
afternoon; brisk westerly winds Saturday
afternoon" When he read the morning
papers he found light-veined reference to
his fair, threatening, foggy, cooler, windy
day and to the large chances of his getting
in fair percentage by prophesizing five
kinds of a day. The weather man has to
endure more contdmely than any other
Government official, but Mr. Harmon
thought this fling hardly fair, though his
day was. In fact Saturday was just such a
complex day as described and came out
just as though it was made to that order.
1t seemed that the weather service
doesn't und erstand 'fair" day as tn
poets and common people do. To the
weather bureau has always been presented
the chief necessity of describing a day as
to whether it will rain or not That is the
important thing to the public and the
temperature and the wind may come next
A day may be or promise to be cloudy and
disagreeable in all sorts of ways without
letting down drop of rain. So the fore
cast official states first whether it will rain
or not. There is no single word in the
language commonly applied to a cloudy,
nasty day without rain. "Rainless'' is ap-
Affair day, as popularity understood, is an
agreeable one, with a good deal of sun
shine. For years Government officials
who boss the weather have scratched their
heads and discussed the possibility of
using some word better than fair" but
fair has been adopted and given a new
and technical sense. 1t means in weather
predictions and reports simply an absence
of more than one hundredth of an inch of
rain and nothing more.
Low dark clouds may keep away every
ray of sunlight all day, the day NAV be
foggy and cold and it may blow great guns,
but if not more than one-hundredth of an
| inch of rain falls the day is fair" one.
This definition of the word is imposed by
the United States Government.
Up to four years ago fair" was used in
describing the cloudiness of day when
| from 3 to Z per cent of the sky was OBJ
| scured. Less was ''clear" and more was
cloudy" Now partly cloudy" is used
| for fair" and the latter word does sole
duty as described, no longer having any
| thing to do with the good looks of a day.
| The great amount of telegraphing done
and the need of brevity has brought about
this technical twist of a good old word and
| prevented the substitution of descriptive
| phrase.

A CALIFORNIAN'S INVENTION.
One Way to Repair Cracked or Leeky
Plate an Iron Ship.


Plate on an Iron Ship.
Captain Hodgson of the Fort Point Life
saving station is the inventor and patentee
of device that will undoubtedly prove of
value on board of iron vessels It is a
double screw, by the use of which me-
chanics can, at sea, put on an iron plate to
stop a leak that may be occasioned by
seam starting or a plate cracking.
The screw, to all appearances, is like an
ordinary screw bolt, except that the head
is not so pronounced. 1t is of the dame
ter of rivet-holes in plates used in building
iron vessels, which are of a standard size
Within the end that has on it the thread
that holds the nut there is female screw.
When it is desired to use the device it is
showed through a rivet-hole, the female
screw is turned, and this causes the outer
end to expand and it takes the place of the
rivet-head.
For instance" said the inventor eff
vessel at sea starts plate at a seam or
cracks one it is almost impossible to stop
the outside to put in a rivet, and if you
could you couldn't hold it to clinch it
from the inside. You take as many OF
these screws as you may need, punch out
a like number of rivets in the side of the
ship, then have prepared plate with holes
to correspond with those in which the
screws are to be inserted. You put the
screws in place, turn the female screws
which form the rivet heads, then place be-
tween the side of the vessel and the plate
to be put on two thicknesSes of rubber
cloth and cement and then screw on the
inner plate by means of the nuts and you
have water-tight repair; not very neat,
maybe, but substantial. For temporary
repairs l believe that it will prove most
effective" ."

WINNERS OF THE STAKES Run For

PARKS.

The fine weather was means of induc-
ing a large crowd to visit Casserly's cours-
ing park yesterday, and among the most
noted leashmen present were: III. Halpin,
J. Perigo, J. J. Edmonds, ]. J. Brady, D.

The hares, with two exceptions, were
well and strong, giving good tests to all
the dogs engaged.
John Grace was in the saddle and James
Wren handled the slips. The running was
good throughout. Sky ball and Best Trump,
both of which are the property of I. J.
Cronin, divided the stake. d. D. Roches
John Mitchell, who was entered by Henry
Hull, was unfortunate in having to meet
Skyball and Gold King, he being the sire
of both dogs. After engaging in hard
course with the latter in the second round
the winning colors were holsted by the
flag steward in his favor. Before his at
tendant could reach him Mitchell started
after second hare, which he killed unas-
sisted. This course was very severe on
him and when he had to meet his second
son in the fourth round it was no wonder
that he fell before him, yet though he
could not run with him he kept near
enough to make the kill after the second
turn, proving incontestably that he is a
good racer capable of begetting great dogs.
Another dog that showed up well was
Best Trump. A. MerrilPs Faster and
Faster proved by her racing that she is not
altogether misnamed.
The purse was divided as follows: Sky
ball and Best Trump took first and second
money, $50; John Mitchell took third
money, SIS; and Harkaway and Faster and
Faster took SIS each.
Betting on all the courses was strong
and as rule the favorites won. The
amount of money that changed hands is
said to have been considerable.

prettily she does talk.
The question had been asked the Prince
if he had read Rudyard Kipling's stories of
life in India, to which he replied that he
had not, when the Princess voluntarily
remarked that the works of Mr.. Kipling
were exaggerated and far from being true to
nature, so far as they related to the habits
and customs of natives of India. At this
point the Prince uttered few words evil

had the effect of sealing the Princess lips
and not another word would she utter. In
speaking of his friend, the King, the
Prince said he was great sportsman and
had killed fifteen or sixteen tigers, mans
proficiency as sportsman in that country
being generally measured by his success in
bagging this noble game. The couple are

OPPOSED TO HWIGG'S BILL.
LOCAL MANUFACTURERS SEE
LITTLE BUT EVIL IN THE
PROPOSED LAW.
A PROTEST SIGNED BY MANY SENT
TO THE LEGISLATURE-A
BURDENsOME TAX.

The bill recently introduced in the Legis-
lature providing for the appointment of
boiler inspectors and prescribing their
duties is vigorously opposed by many en-
gineers and manufacturers of this city.
The engineers oppose it because it ex-
pressly provides that no member of their
craft can be an inspector. Users of steam
oppose it because it would increase their
expenses and leave them at the mercy of
blackmailing inspectors.
The opposition has organized, and as a
result of their deliberations the following
profess will be sent to the lawmakers:
To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of
California: We, the undersigned, manufactur-
ers, owners an users of steam boilers and en-
gineers, in the State OF California, have seen a
BILL recently introduced into the Legislature of
the State, entitled an act for the protection of
life and property by providing against the use
or manufacture of improperly constructed
steam boilers, or boilers made of inferior mate
rial, and to provide for the testing and inSpec-
ton of material TO be used in the construction
of steam boilers, and providing for the inspec-
ton while in course of construction and while
in use, and designated Assembly Bill
No 919," in which it is proposed to
place all stationary boilers in the State
under the supervision OF a corps OF inspectors,
whose duties and powers are minutely defined,
and in the carrying out of which great ex-
pense would be imposed on the steam users,
manufacturers and engineers OF the State at q
time when business is in very depressed con-
dition, and when they can i'll afford to be
loaded with additional burdens. The, appli-
ances and attachments required by this bill
would lay upon the steam-users a very burden
some tax, which, in our opinion, would be un-
necessary and unjust. We, therefore, petition
your Honorable body:
That in time like this you will, so far as it
can be done, relieve us from present burdens,
rather than impose upon us additional and in
our opinion unnecessary taxation, which must
be borne by individuals and companies, al
ready burdened to an extent almost beyond
the pecuniary point of endurance, and hence
must retard or jeopardize many of the perma-
nent interests of our citizens and the State.

on the corner of Noe and Seventeenth
streets.
Rev. Mr.. Orr is now but % years of age,
and is regarded as one OF the most eloquent
speakers and Jealous workers in the ranks
of the clergy.
At the age of Is years he created quite a
furor in mis- native town of Toronto,
Canada, by preaching sermons in the
streets from improvised pulpits of boxes
and barrels. Later on he entered the Con-
gregational Theological Seminary of Chi
cago, where he was graduated with the
highest honors. AT present he is acting as
professor in the Congregational Seminary
across the bay, and has been conducting
evangelistic meetings in Oakland, Berkeley
and Benicia.
The young evangelist is quite fervent,
and breaches practical christianity with a
warmth and enthusiasm which endears
him to his hearers. He has face of
marked character and infinite promise,
and his meetings at the Olivet church WILL
doubtless, result in great deal of good
Mr.. Orr is, at present, pastor of the First
Congregational Church of Benicia, where
he has been highly successful in his evan

FRENCH CHURCH SERVICES.
The Opening of the Lenten Season CeIe-
brated by Special Services.

At high mass yesterday at the French
church OH Bush street the forty days of
devotion, or Lent, formally began. The
sacred edifice was prettily decorated by
the ladies of the church, and the music
under the direction of Professor Martinez,
was of unusual excellence.
Reverend Father Gras conducted the
services, taking for his theme the words of
st. Peter, ''Thou art Christ, the son of the
living God" He showed that all religion
consists in the affirmation of the Divinity
and believing, adoring and loving Him.
At the same service was begun a special
two weeks mission, or revival. In the aft
ernoon a song service was held under the
charge of the ladies of the church, and this
will be continued daily during the holy
season.
On Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings of each week special evening
services, consisting of sermon and bene-
diction, will be held, commencing at ;45
o'clock.

way Corporation.
"That's three times I've offered that
conductor my fare and he won't take it.
I'll put that nickel in my pocket and spend
it for candy for the young ones. It's fine
tim es," and with that the coin went back
to the pocket from which it had been
taken.
This was uttered in an audible tone by a
middle-aged man with a full beard who
occupied seat on the near side of Post
street car last Saturday evening. The car
was crowded when 1t started, but at each
crossing as far as Powell street 1T gathered
additional passengers and the conductor
had made several attempts to collect fares,
commencing on the off side, as is the rule
on that line. He had not succeeded, as
each time he undertook the job new
passengers came on and he had to COM
mence at the tail end again and again.
Each time the full-bearded man offered his
fare and it was not taken. 1t was after the
third offer that he made the remark given
and added "ThoSe conductors are too inde-
pendent, anyway. FL teach this feller a
lesson"
Those who knew the rules on this line
smiled.
The conductor having made his off-side
collections outside and in, started down on
Gu6 nigh Sllc, dllu Wlltli lc was OppOSIlt
the full bearded man said quickly, but
politely, "Fare, please" The, passenger
addressed appeared to be deeply engaged
reading a letter and never moved a move.
The conductor, touching his knee to at
tract his attention, asked "Have you paid
your fare?"
NO" said the full-bearded man, "but
you was so independent while ago and
wouldn't take it when l offered it to you
that l thought you didn't want it,"
want it now" was the sententious in
terruption.
The nickle came from the pocket once
again and as it passed to the collector of
fares, the passenger remarked: Corpora
tions will beat you every time and the
young ones"
What the concluding words were was
lost in the noise made by the car turning
swiftly out of Post into Leavenworth street,
but the light-haired woman known to all
the stockholders at the Exchange, and
who was seated to the right of the speaker,
said to an acquaintance on her right, land
the young ones won't get any candy at the
expense of the corporation this time"
