The board of directors has unanimously de-
cided that the proposed new charter for San
Francisco be the special subject for considera-
ton and that each member of the Board of
Freeholders be invited to attend the meeting
and take part in its deliberations. You are
therefore cordially invited TO be present on
that occasion and the secretary of this associa-
ton will soon personally call upon you to
ascertain your pleasure in also making few
remarks upon the new charter. Respectfully
yours, F. w. DOHRMANN, President.

The synopsis above mentioned will be
prepared by Mr.. Freud and forwarded to

In addition to the individual members
invited to speak, the chairmen of the
more important committees which had the
sectional subjects to consider during the
session of the freeholders will give their
views very fully on the matters embraced
under their respective headings. For in

stopping and finding he could be of no as
sistance proceeded on his way to Santa
arbara, whence he telegrapned the
news to San Francisco. Several tugs at
once went to the scene, among them The
Fearless and Monarch, and made every
effort to save the vessel. They worked for
two days pumping water into her hold,
but in spite of their efforts the deck burned
through and she had to be abandoned.
The crew had no difficulty in making land
in boats, as the weather was fine and the
sea almost as smooth as glass.
For several days the fire burned fiercely
until it had consumed everything com bus
tible about the vessel, and then died out.
The wrecking steamer Whitelaw saved
little from what was considered good
iron ship, and she was left on the beach to
become picturesque wreck.
1t was thought at the time that the Cos
ford would soon go to pieces, but in spite
of the effects of twenty-seven months
buffeting of the elements she is still stand
ing to-day apparently as good as when she
was lett to her fate. When the Gosford
struck she went broadslde on the shore
with her nose pointed east, and all the
storms that have ragged since then have
failed TO bulge her.
The Gosford is certainly tribute to the

Only few yards are still in place and they
are loose and swing from side to side,
creaking mournfully with every gust OF
wind.
That portion of the coast where the
wreck of the Gosford lies Is dreary and
barren. A bluff of dry yellow sand rises
abruptly from the shore only few hum
dred feet away and forms a background
that throws the four rusted masts and
swinging spars into strong relief.
Investigations by the people at Point
Conception lighthouse show that the bot
tom is gone out of the ship and that the
sides are rusting away rapidly. The water
rushes in and out of holes in the hull even
when the sea is smooth and when it is
rough it sweeps from stem to stern, and
the lower masts are almost concealed from
view.
The wreck of the Gosford may stand in
its present position for long time to
come, but the chances are that the first
heavy gale will break the rusted deck
beams apart and the masts will fall ove-
and disappear.

be last in the rear of the procession.
Women of the present time are reviving
the ruffles and big sleeves of Queen Eliza
beth's period. 1t is only fair to give Eliz-
this evening-up process only go so far as
pictorial ride on bicycle. Elizabeth had
a superabundance of nerve and not all the
criticisms of all the writers in England
would have had deterrent effect on her
if she had once taken the notion to wear
boomers.
Marie Antoinette would have been hor-
rified at the very thought of boomers and
she would never had ridden bike in her
days of spendor unless the bike had been
an exclusive affair, beyond the plebeian
reach. But there are many queenly women
in the year of our Lord 1896 who ride the
wheel, and some of them wear boomers,
too.
Shakespeare would have experienced.
more pleasure than almost anybody else
if he could have worked the treadles of
modern safety" He would have framed
lyrics to the winged wheel and sonnets to
boomers. These verses, from one of the
Shakespearean sonnets, might serve pur-
pose as a reference to the "bicycle face" of
girl with the rose of health that defies
description:
And their gross painting might pe better used,
Where cheeks need blood; in thee 1t is abused.
1 never saw that you did painting need.
There lives more life in one OF your fair eyes
Than both our poets can in praise devise.
Had the bicycle Juror reached Britain
when the Bard of Avon was engaged in
building UP the language, he might have
found it convenient to substitute "bike"
for Hhorse'' in such places, for instance, as
this chorus in Henry V:
Now all the youth OF England are on fire:
They sell the pasture now to buy the horse.
The cast in America to-day is that pas
ture and horse are both being sold to buy
the pneumatic wheel. The average horse
is hardly worth his feed, and the animal
whose ancestors pranced under plumed
knights OF yore is now being done up in
sausages and other tempting dishe for the
foreign palate.

"sack, Jack Falstaff, had struggled vio-
lently with wheel instead OF scurrying
about with his ragamutfin band, as re-
corded in Henry ", he could still have

One might imagine that Macbeth had

ultimate triumph over a tandem:

article was inserted. Irving NJ. Scott will
give his views on the department of pub

and all will endeavor to show that out of
a revenue of Sc, zoe, 900 which has been ap-
propriated from the taxpayers for the
fiscal year of 1866 a better showing
could be made if better system of its dis
tribution obtained. This will be the prin-
cipal aim of the meetng-to show that by
the new charter decidedly better system
can be had.
