INCREASING ATTENDANCE,
The Mechanics Fair Attract
ing Large Crowds Every
Day.
Many More Novel Features Than
During Years Previous-Excel-
lent Music.

There is daily increasing attendance at
the Mechanics Fair.
In many respects the exhibits are ahead
of those of previous years. The novelty of
many of the features is sufficient in itself
to excite renewed interest in the ex-
hibits, and, taken as a whole, the fair
abounds in attractions superior to those OF
many years before.
The machinery exhibits attract much at
tention. AS practical working demon
stration of the degree of mechanical per-
lection attained on the coast they possess
a manifold interest. Visitors from out of
town spend most of their time around the
machinery. In the industrial and mer-
camille departments the standard of pre-
both in the quality of the exhibits and the
taste with which they are arranged.
The immense building was thronged
during yesterday afternoon and evening.
1t was representative though ever-chang-
ing assemblage, and during the evening
brilliancy was added to the scene by the
handsome toilets of the ladies IN attend
ance. Excellent music was furnished by
ScheePs concert band during the afternoon
and evening, and at no time were there
many vacant seats around the band stand.
Following were the selections rendered:

BOLD BRIBERY PROPOSED,
Some Startling Revelations
Made by Harbor Commits
sioner Colnon.
SHARP REPLY TO LANIGAN.
Practical Politics the Term for a
Corrupt Partnership Pro-
posed.

The controversy between Harbor Com
missioner Colnon and Edward Lanigan
serves to create great interest in political
circles.
Mr.. Colnon was seen at his home last
night and consented to express his views
ION the matters of difference which have
arisen.
81 really have nothing to say of or to
Mr.. Lanigan further than this, that his
statements are in the main false and with
scarcely a foundation in fact. | am
too busy with the affairs of my Office. My
duties engage my time and attention to a
far greater extent than his duties seem to
engage him.
ain regard to San Francisco politics l
may say that might have formed ALI
ances with local politicians, but did not.
Some of these politicians come to me with
propositions purely financial in their
nature.
"In one of these propositions | will say
that the cool suggestion was made that
there would be as much as $500 month
on one appointment. Of course, not wish
ing to do practical politics on this basis, [
refused to entertain any such a prop
osition.
81 Immediately went to DR.. Morse OF the
Board of Health and warned him to be
very careful in the matter of appointments,
as 1 had been approached on the subject,
as above stated. DR.. Morse can tell you
more about this matter.
81 was approached in other matters and
solicited to engage in practical politics in
another appointment, an important APP
pointment under the Board of Health,
where the sum of $1,000 month was repre-
sented as the profits, if l could control
and secure the appointment for the person
desired. DR.. Williamson will bear me out
also in my statement as to warning the
Board of Health.
$50 far as Lanigan is concerned have
nothing to say except that he appears only
to have an ambition to become local po-
litical boss. Here, of course, our natures
diyerge, as / have no desire to become a
politician. If / was so considered should
deem it my duty to persuade my friends to
think me something else-almost any thing
else.
"Of course Lanigan's sta tements regard
ing myself are false. As regards my
nephew, he sails from this port next week.
His statements in this regard are entirely
false"

THE OLYMPIC OARSMEN
They Will Soon Have a New Boat
house and Boats to
Fill 1t.

The boating annex of the Olympic Club
is rapidly taking its place as a recognized
element of the athletic organization. 1t
already has serviceable mem ership and
the boat is nearly ready to be turned over
when there is place to keep her properly
and all that is now necessary is to find a
site upon which to erect boathouse.
The question where the boathouse should
be erected is a vexing one. Sites on both
sides of the bay have been looked at and
have met with favor, but as yet there has
been no choice. One OF the first places in
vestigated was site in Sessions Basin, at
the head of Oakland Greek. 1t was argued,
however, that Sessions Basin was too far
away, and so that site was let go for one on
this side of the bay. A good place down
near the Union Iron Works was found, but
again objection was raised because there
would be no place to go to if the boathouse
were located there near the iron works, or
indeed at any point on this side of the
BAY. All the desirable trips would lead
the boatmen so far away from the house
that the charm of the work would soon
wear away
Attention was then turned to Sausalito
and Tiburon, and if present indications
count for anything the new boathouse will
be located at one of those two places.
All the old oarsmen in the club have
Joined the boating annex, and it is prob
able that the swimming element will go
into the new annex for the swimming
which good house on the water will give
them. The swimming element is a large
one. and it will add greatly to the strength
of the new organization should the swim
