Directors Before Court

In the Supreme Court yesterday the case of
A. w. Foster, charged with contempt for hav-
ing refused to obey Judge Seawelps order di-
recting him to ADMIT Sidney Smith to the
meeting of the Donahue road directors, was
argued and submitted.
Smith sued to have it declared that he had
been elected director of the San Francisco
and North Pacific Railroad in place of Jesse
Lilienthai, the recognized director. Smith
was declared elected by the court, and the
president, A. W. Foster, was directed to admit
him TO the meeting Foster refused on the
ground that his notice OF appeal acted as a
stay of proceedings, but Judge Seawell fined
him for contempt. In this form the case was
ARMED.

Loring Club Concert.

The Loring Club gave the fourth and con-
cluding concert of its nineteenth season last
evening Odd Fellows Hall was crowded,
every seat being occupied, and still there were
people standing. The programme was an ex-
cellent one, affording most pleasing variety,
1t consisted of the following:
Roundelay awake Ye LORDS and Ladies
Gay" Rneinberger); "sing, Sing, Music Was
GiYen,' by request brewer; ave Maria"
(Ab0; violin solo, 1.-TWO Hebrew Melodies"
goachim);. Double chorus from "Gd1pus"
Hath Shed a Tear (Kucken): chorus OF der
wishes, "Ruins of Athens" (Beethoven); "In
May Time" (Billeter); "Chorus OF Spirits and
Hours" (Buck).
Several of the numbers were enthusiastically
encored. At the close of the concert NJ. p.
Hughes, the director, was the recipient OF con-
gratulations upon the success of the series.

The Grand opera-House.

For the first time in the history of the Grand
Opera-house the management undertook to
present to its patrons tragedy. Sheridan
Knowles "Virginius' was on the bill, with Ed
mund Collier, an actor comparatively new to
San Francisco theater-goers, cast for the title
role The most that can be said for Mr.. Col
lier is that he is man of magnificent
him through the most trying scenes. His ges-
tures are graceful and his voice clear
and sweet in ordinary lines. But when
into cultural intonation, which spoils an
otherwise clever piece of acting. Mr.. Collier
is not IN any sense q great actor, but he
is conscientious in what he does. Miss Leigh
made an excellent Virginia with the one ex-
ception OF an unaccountable stiffness in the
lovers scene in the first act. The balance of

The young Salvador colt San Mateo, who

an impressive victory yesterday over the
crack filly Fleur de Lis. The two met in
the opening event of the day at four and

ten pounds, which detracted somewhat
against his win. The betting on the pair
was very lively, Fleur de Lis being

prisonment for forgery. He forged the name
of Hooker < Co. to a 1925 check and then paid
a bill for $25 with it, keeping the change. He
