PR|zE-F|CHT FOR BLOOD,
SlOggerS Who Are Booked to
Scrap on the Isle of
Monte CriStO.
Tom Burns and Spider Kelly Are
the Gentlemen Who VIII
Amuse the Gang.

"Oh, pshaw! We will have de fun of de
year on Sunday over at de Isle of Monte
Cristo, see? You be there, sure, and you
will see de scrap of yer life. Spider Kelly
and Crackeriack Burns are drawn down as
fine as needles for de go.''
The above conversation was heard yes
terday evening on Ellis street. One very
formidable-looking specimen of the human
pug was endeavoring to illustrate to his
friend what good time he would have by
joining select company of sloggers on
next Sunday evening on a trip to the elsie
of Monte Cristo," in San Pablo Bay.
club, which is known to sloggers as
the Pastime Athletic Club, with headauar-
tiers at IA McAllister street, is arranging
the details for this proposed Sunday scrap
plng-match on scrappers' island.
The names OF the sloggers appear on
flaming hangers. and the bill of fstic fare
reads something like this: 'The great fight
of the season to a finish will be held on
Sunday at the new resort over the bay
which we have named the Isle of Monte
Cristo.' The scrap will be between the
famous Spider Kelly and Tom Burns. a
champion from Australia. Tickets will be
sold for 81, but no women or children are
wanted. The purse. in cold coin, will be
$3.50, the winner to take all. For further
particulars inquire at IA McAllister street,
room 36."
For some weeks past number of slog-
gers who are now travelling on their uppers
have been scheming with a view of catch
ing some OF the unsophisticated sporting
men IN game called slog. 1t is only rea-
sonable to suppose that they have sue
ceeded In landing one or two gullibles,
otherwise the match "for q purse of $3.50"
between Kelly and Burns, would not have
been consummated. The managers of the
great fight which is announced to come
of on the Isle of Monte Cristo, state that
the officers OF the law cannot interfere, as
the island in question is not under the
jurisdiction of Uncle Sam. OF course the
opinions of the gentlemen who have
the arrangements Of the battle in hand
as regards the topography of the country
and the right of this Government to inter
fere, are beyond question. Those are mat
tiers OF small moment which the public of
this City will decide on Sunday morning
next, when 1.-THE gang will make its APP
pearance on the wharf. The Chief of Po-
lice is assuredly aware of the advertise
ments drawing attention to a prize-ight,
and there is no doubt that he will have
some OF his lusty men on hand purposely
to see that decorum is preserved on the
voyage to this new Island of Monte Cristo
IN San Pablo Bay. 1t is said that the
SPIDER and his prospective opponent have
been trained down as hard as nails and are
ready for great scrap next Sunday for
blood.

BOAT-RACING ON SUNDAY.
Crews That Will Certainly Start-The
Olympians to Row at Santa

At a meeting CT the regatta committee
of the South End Rowing Club, held Tues
day evening, it was decided to row the race
for the junior championship of the Pacific
Coast Sunday next, at 10 A. NJ, over the
Long Bridge course. There was much dis
cussion as to the hour of starting, and a
resolution asking the referee to disqualify
all crews not appearing at the starting line
at 10 A. NJ. sharp was finally passed by a
unanimous vote. The referee intends to
act up to both the spirit and letter of the
resolution. and will start the race promptly
If only one crew appears. The whole
course is visible from Long Bridge, which
can be reached bystaking the Third street
cars and transferring to the Potrero divis-
ion and then leaving the cars after crossing
the Channel-street bridge.
This race is necessitated by the decision
of the referee in ordering the junior race to
be rowed over. On the I'd inst. this race
was rowed, the Olympics and ST. Mary's
finishing respectively first and second, but
as there were almost as many fouls as
there were entries in the race, the referee
decided that the race had to be rowed
again.
st. Mary's will be unable to enter the
race, but the Olympics will again demon

At meeting of the South End Rowing

to this determination. The regatta is I'M
der the auspices of the South End Rowing
Club. This club offers the prize for which
the crews are to contest; their crew at the
former contest, owing to an accident, fin
ished last. From these facts the members,
believing that the public would think that
they endeavored to have the race rowed
again in order that their crew might win,
passed resolution requesting their junior
crew to withdraw. Though this resolution
was passed the members still believe that
their crew can beat any of the entries, and

A DAMAGED PHONoGRAPH.
The Result of Alleged Carelessness by
Southern Pacific Men.

The Result of Alleged Care1essness by
Southern Pacific Men.
G. M. Rogers has commenced an action
in the justices Court to recover the sum of
$270 from the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company. From the allegations in the
complaint it appears that on the 10Th of
last September Rogers was passenger on
one OF the trains of the company defend
ant on his way from Suisun to Benicia,
and at that time had on his lap a phono-
graph, which did not occupy any unusual
amount OF space and did not inconvenience
other passengers.
The conductor informed him that he
would not be allowed to carry that package
on his lap, and that it would have to be
deposited in the baggage car. TWAS taken

another car, and when Benicia was reached

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-13

to the platform in such a reckless manner
that it cost Rogers $50 to repair it.
But that is not all. Rogers was to have
given exhibitions with the phonograph in
Benicia and San Francisco, in the public
schools, but by reason of the damage done
to the instrument he was unable to do SO.
Consequently he was at a loss of SIS day,
which amount he claims the exhibitions
would have netted him. Having been I'M
able TO make settlement with the rail-
road company, he sues for the amount
named and costs.

while, out OF Difference to public opinion
and for the good of rowing, their crew will
not row on Sunday next, nevertheless they
are prepared and anxious to match their
trophy.
At present it seems that the contest will
rest with the following: Olympics, AGNES,
Arlels, Pioneers and Dolphins.
Though the Olympics are to row spe-
clal race at Santa Cruz tomorrow they are
still looked upon as sure winners of the
race Sunday, and some even expect them
to win at Santa Cruz.

Missouri Democrats.

KANSAS Cry, Aug. ga special to
the Star from Pertle Spring, Mo-,
says: sSilver Dick Bland arrived
here this morning to lead the forces
and frame resolutions to be adopted
by the Democratic Silver Conven-
ton tomorrow.
Barring Senator Cockren, who
lives here, Bland is the only star at
traction on the ground. Bland
had not been here an hour be.
fore he was out in an emphatic dec
laration to few trusted friends that
the time had arrived when the silver
men should assume the control of the
party machinery. For publication he
refused to talk, but the statement of
his declaration of war is correct.
This declaration is interpreted to mean
that he proposes TO try to GUST
the old committee and secure a COM
mittee favorable to the white metal.
The State Central Committee will
meet in the morning to decide upon
the temporary organization of the
convention, which will meet at noon
Tomorrow. The committee will pro.
badly name Bland for temporary
chairman, although Judge James Glib
son of Kansas City, M. E. Benton of
Laclede, are casually mentioned
Governor Stone. it is believed, can
have the permanent craftsmanship if
he wants it.
A new scheme was developed to-
day whereby the silver men intend to
secure the State machinery and ma
jority of the State committee. The
plan is to let the present committee
remain and elect one new member
from each congressional district, and
three from the State at large, making
the committee thirty-four members
instead of sixteen as it is at the pres
ent time.

The High School Bids.

Yesterday afternoon the Commits
sioners considered the bids submitted
for the erection of the county high
school building and, by the votes of
McAfee and Woolverton, rejected all
of them and ordered re-adyertise
ment for bids in accordance with the
plans and specifications heretofore
adopted. {
The action of the majority was
based on the ground that the bids
were in excess of $4,000, the amount
fixed in the statute authorizing the
issuance of bonds for establishing,
constructing, equipping and furnish.
ing" the county high school building.
The lowest bid which the Board could
consider under the advertisement was
that of Geo. Gilmore g. Co. for So
225. 80 Ii the Board had accepted
this bid and awarded the contract,
there would be left of the $4,000, to
which the Commissioners are limited,
only S774,65 with which to equip and
furnish the building, an amount
wholly insufficient for the purpose.
While the bids submitted yesterday
are undoubtedly honest bids and the
sums named as low as the building
called for by the plans and specifica-
tons can be built, the INDEPENDENT
believes that the majority of the
Board did right in rejecting all bids.
This, however, should have been""fol-
lowed by advertising for new plans
and specifications for a building to
cost not to exceed $500. In the
failure to do this; the Board made a
| mistake.
