$24, 900, it was thought that the club had
made an excellent investment. 1t cost
$1,000 to excavate some ten feet of sand.
Now the projectors wished they had raised
the plat ten feet as it would then be nearer
the street level of Seventh avenue from III
to I streets.
The grading of Seventh avenue has
raised the embankment over twenty-five
feet above the level of the athletic grounds
and the sand has buried the high fence and
is now flowing over the different cinder
paths and the green plat in the center. The
straightaway course, which was Just under
the shadow Of the big board fence, starting
at the reporters stand, 155 yards in length
and Is feet wide, is submerged in sand.
Part of the circle track has also been
buried, while the rose trees, Virginia
climbers and different plants along the
fence and in the triangle at the south end
are lost to sight.
John I. Doyle leased the property to the
Olympic Club five years ago. The lease
has five years yet to run. The monthly
rental of the grounds is $118. In addition
to this sum the club pays an instalment OF
SIP on the original expenditure in fixing
up the grounds, which was done in the
main by Mr.. Doyle. 1t was he who caused
the dug out" though the grounds were
more than ten feet below the level of
Seventh avenue at that time.
Now the Olympic Club threatens to sue
him for damages. The matter will come
up before the meeting of the board of
directors this evening, when course of
action will be decided upon.
The tennis court, which is terraced
about thirteen feet above the circle track.
has not been damaged by the grading of
the street, for the reason that it is only a
few feet below the level, and the fence
stands the pressure all right. The rest OF
the fence, $50 feet in all, has been demol-
ished, and the sand continues to pour down
the embankment as the work of grading
goes on.
''The members of the club are very much
worried over this damage done to the
grounds said Manager Peter Mcintyre
yesterday, land somebody ought to be
made to pay we'll for it.
1.-THE club has gone to large expense in
improving and keeping up the grounds,
and now this mountain of sand comes
tumbllng down upon US. The wind out
here is very high during the afternoons and
evenings, and every blast tends to scatter
the sand over those parts of the grounds
which are not already buried. It's an out
rage, | say, and somebody ought to be
made to pay for it. The club has taken de-
light in Keeping the grounds in good order,
setting out plants and keeping the grass
green. Now everything is on the verge of
ruin"

million Club to participate in the water
carnival, June II to Is, and sent formal
invitation to the executive committee
yesterday. III. ]. Croker, the new presi-
dent of the Half-million Club, appointed
n. P. Sonntag, A. E. Castle and himself a

Mr.. Castle called the attention of the
committee to the fact that June Is was the

wholesalers to have their picnic at Santa
Cruz under the auspices of the HaIf-mil-
lion Club.
E. B. Bickford rendered his resignation
as member of the executive committee,
explaining that he did not have the time
to devote to the position it required. F.W.
Dohrmann of the Merchants Association
was elected to the vacancy.
Plans for the formation of permanent
committees were submitted by w. M.
Bunker and A.. E. Castle. Mr. Bunker
suggested eleven committees, to be COM
posed of members of the club. Mr.. Castle
suggested fifteen committees, the chair
man of each to be selected from the execu-
tive committee, and the gentlemen so Sc
lected 10 choose TOUR CO-WOrKerS from the

The two plans brought out full discus
sion of the work the committees would do
and the manner of naming them. Louis
Sloss suggested that the entire matter be
given into the hands of a committee to be
composed of Messrs Bunker, Castle,
Croker and Bowler. This was so ordered
with the understanding that the committee
should report at the next meeting, which
will be announced by the chairman OF the

A JOCKEY RICHLY CLAD,
His Tailor Sends Him Big Bill Which
Court Thought Was
TTDiust.

Justice of the Peace Carroll yesterday
gave judgment in behalf of Tod Sloan,
jockey, in a suit in which Henry Steil,
tailor, was plaintiff.
The tailor had sent the jockey bill for
a suit of clothes at $40, an overcoat at $40
and pair of trousers at $18-total, $3.50.
Sloan paid sos in three installments on
this bill and there stopped, thinking he
had done enough in that line. Tod is a
lightweight, as Jockeys have to be, meas
uring little above three feet high and
thick in proportion. The Judge had him
stand up, and then questioned the tailor
for men of his size and others. The tailor
said it was all the same.
Testimony for the defense. however, was
to the effect that it made vast difference.
The court thought the tailor had been well
paid already, and decided for the jockey.

A STRANGE CRAB.
Found by Fisherman on the Potato
Patch.

Anton Bertoline, fisherman, while
cruising about the Potato Patch" yester-
day, caught crab of species never be-
fore seen in California waters. The ami
NAL resembles nothing SO much as ball
OF mud about the size of a child's clenched
hand. A snout or nose protrudes from the
upper part of the body, and beneath it is
vicious looking mouth. the jaws of which
open to either side. The crab has ten legs
or claws which, when it is at rest, are
folded beneath the body. Eight of the
claws are soft and only two are covered
with shell. Grabs of this species are found
in bays along the shore of Italy, in which
country they are called 'padroni."

AN EXCELLENT TESTER.

Directions Hero Given Explain How One
Can BE Made at Home.
The universal favor with which the
Babcock tester is regarded by progress
sive dairymen almost makes its intro
ductiOn an absolute necessity in every
well regulated dairy. The seemingly
low price of dairy products, with the
prospect of high-priced rations, would
Indicate greater reason for every farm,
er who has herd of cows to know just
what each individual animal is doing
for him in return for the feed fed to
them. Even when feed is plenty and
low in price, it is not within the bounds
of economy to shiftlessly feed cow
that has poor assimilative powers and
fails under the light of figures to give
q net profit to her owner, to continue to
keep her and still reduce the profit OF
another that gave milk of a high testing
value.
Many dairymen have provided them,
selves with tester and are acting in
this regard wisely, but very large ma
jority have either carelessly neglected
TO supply the need or do not care to go
to the expense of purchasing one for
their few COWS.
The present crop conditions in0hio
will demand that many of us must cut
down our stock or purchase feed at
outrageous prices, hence the necessity
of the elimination of those animals
which are the poorest producers at the
pail and churn and the keeping of those
which will come nearest making prof
liable attachment to the farm or will
prove a source of revenue regardless Of
high-priced feed.
For the purpose of encouraging the
introduction of the tester will give an

good results as those purchased Of

The Great Secret in Churninr.

There is no make of churn that gran
ulates butter better than another, IL
we discard the dash churn. The only
secret in the matter is to stop the churn
at the right stage, and add the water,
so as to harden these little granules Of
fat and give the fluids free exit from
the churn. In hot weather the gran
ulation Of butter is all the more i'm
portant, as there is the greater need Of
getting the buttermilk out of the mass.
Summer butter wants to be churned as
cool as possible, and it is here that the
owners of separators have the advan-
tage, that they can cream the fresh
drawn milk down to thirty-three per
cent of actual fat, and churn cream
exhaustively at fifty-two degrees, which
is the actual crystallizing stage of but.
ter, and get separators with little or no
washing.-Practical Farmer.
