SPORT FOR THE CARNIVAL
Some of the Athletic Games Under
Consideration by the
Committee.
Representative of All Nations to En-.
gage in Contests Peculiar to
Their Country.

William Greer Harrison was recently
requested by the executive committee of
the Carnival of the Golden Gate to prepare
a schedule of events for athletic day.
1t is proposed by the committee to en-
gage grounds and give an athletic contest
between people of different nationalities
in games peculiar to their native land.
Only limited scope is generally afforded
to games of this kind, but Mr.. Harrison is
going to make them a special feature.
His idea is to utilize local talent as far as
possible, but to leave the games open to
athletes of all nations, so that if any feel
disposed to come here and compete they
can be p1tted against the best of our local
talent.
One feature suggested is to have the
members of the Olympic and other clubs
participate in Greek and Roman events
identical with those given in ancie MT
Rome and Greece, followed by modern
events.
The United States cavalry, highly
trained in wrestling and jumping, could
be utilized in costume in ancient athletics.
including boxing on horseback, after the
manner of the Russians of 300 years ago.
Spanish American cavalry athletics
might also form an interesting portion of
the day, while fitting, jumping, dismount-
ing, etc., are always pleasing features.
japanese and Chinese wrestling, while
not new to San Francisco, would, in the
presence of the many visitors that are ex-
pected, be notable feature.
Cornish, Westmoreland and Lancashire
wrestling and boxing would recall the
DAYS of the country fairs in England,
while Gaelic football and hurting could be
participated in by the Irish athletes. No
Scotch event is complete without the
piper. Mr. Harrison suggests curling,
tossing the caber, broadsword fencing and
sword dancing.
The natioral sport of France is un-
doubtedly fencing, of which there are
many able exponents in the City, whose
skill IN carte and tierce, parry and thrust
would bewilder the eyes of the spectators.
With the German turn vereins to draw
from, there is no end of events peculiar to
that nation, for each of which dozens OF
competitors could be found
Football, baseball and kindred spo rts
are also suggested, while fitting and
mounted sword contest by representatives
of all nations in their national costumes.
followed by mounted hurdle-jumping and
ending with procession of all the con-
testants, would bring such day to a fit
ting close.
Colonel George L. Stone, who went to
st. Louis yesterday, is one of the most en-
thusiastlc workers on the executive COM
mittee. lie has promised il he cannot do
anything else for the carnival during his
absence, to extend an invitation for the
delegates 10 come to San Francisco next
October.

formed, pink and white sweet peas were
used exclusively.
The bay-window was converted into
floral bower so dainty and artistic that it
seemed the work of fairy hands. In the
corridor the prevailing tone was white, in
the dining hall red, and in the library
lavender. The aim of the decorator was
apparently light and airy effects, and the
results were admirable. At $50 o'clock
the young couple entered the drawing
room, and, standing IN the floral bower,
were, according to the rites of the Lutheran
church, made man and wife by DR.. Fuen-
deiing.
The bride was attended by her sister,
Miss Chrissie Siebe, and Mr.. William Berg
was best man.
The bridal gown was one of much ele-
gance and beauty, and set off to best ad-
vantage the figure of the lovely bride. 1t
was OF white satin, the jupe made per-
fectly plain, and the corsage ornamented
with tulle and old lace. A bridal veil was
fastened to the coiffure by a wreath of
orange blossoms, and the bridal bouquet
was OF white sweet peas.
Miss Chrlssie Siebe, the maid of honor,
was attifed in a modish gown of white
organdie over white silk and carried a
bouquet of pink sweet peas.
After the ceremony congratulations were
IN order, after which the newly welded
couple led the way to the dining hall,
where an elaborate banquet was served.
Covers were laid for 100. After supper
until late hour dancing was enjoyed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stauf received very many
elegant ami costly presents that comprised
complete service of silver, many elegant
pieces OF cut glass and quantities of beauti-
tul bric-a- brac. This morning the young
couple will leave for few days wedding
tour, their destination being a profound
secret. On their return they will go to
housekeeping at the new home, 2S25 Sac
ramento street.

thirds rule. This is construed as further
indication of desire on their part to
keep down all antagonism and not involve
the delegation with any faction. They
hold that the abolition of the rule will

ity in some quarters, hard to allay, and
there will be less friction by following a

Democratic National Convention Hall,
Chicago, July 7.--History will be made
here to-day. The weather is perfect. A
great crush is present and Democratic
enthusiasm ia at fever heat. In point of
attendance the crowd here far surpasses
the st. Louis convention. Brass bands,
marching clubs and uniformed political
organizations have complete possession
of the city. They are met at every corner.
The pavements are inadequate to accom-
modate the crowds and street traffic is
blocked.
The convention hall was opened at
11:3O O'Clock. An hour before the decorat-
ors had completed their labors and the
greatest convention hall on American soil
presented picture of superb effects.
Sergeant-at-Arms John I. Martin was
early on the scene. At II O'Clock his
army of assistants and pages and 200
policemen were marshaled and ready for
business, and at that hour also, although
the convention hall doors were CLOSELY
guarded, the lines of people at the gates
extended for blocks in all directions.

ritories be allowed six delegates each,
which they have been invited to send to

Among the lIissOurians.

Chicago.-As the hour of 10 O'Clock ap-
preached vast deal of peace was appar-
ent on the countenances of the Missouri
ans. Nick Bell paused moment to say
that Illinois had sent for forty y-eight Bland
badges and was in the Bland camp, Kan
sas was, too.
Last evening a bebadged group of
Bland boomers waited long and wearily
for meat and drink in cafe. The loun-
gers at the bar and the Tuxedo-coated
walters looked upon them with merri-
ment or scorn. While waiting the boom
ers cried their Bland cries and the
Chicagoans who sat at other tables ate
and drank and were promptly waited
upon while the bebadged group waited
YEARLY and wondered why.
"Where is Mizzoury, anyway" said
the chief waiter.
The Bland Missourians are of two dis
tinct types. One is the Nick Bell-Maroy
X. Brown Fleming ulian type-who are
out for Bland and the patronage, and the
other the scarfless, alpaca coated con-
tingent from the picturesque towns and
fertile fields of Missouri-old, brave,
enthusiastic, honest men-who say:
"We are here to demand the repeal of the
great crime of '73 which made financial
slavery in America!'' The Chlcagoans do
not comprehend that behind these men
whom they laugh at to-day is vast
popular force that it's votaries and
prophets hope will overturn the financial
ethics of the bankers and finanoiers of
the world.
VEST DECLARES HIMSELF.
A dramatic incident of Missouri inva-
sion of Chicago was the speech of SEN
ator Vest in the caucus of the Missourians.
1t was not known, at the time, that an
account of the senatorial conspiracy" to
nominate Senator Teller had been sent
out over the country, and when Vest
arose and began to denounce the story,
many Missourian's mouth went agape.
'Any statement that am a member of
a combine or conspiracy to nominate
Senator Teller, or to trade Mr.. Bland, or
that am not here to strive for Mr..
BANDS nomination and his glorious vic
tory is false as hell" roared Senator
Vest. Then he threw up his hands and
demanded: "Where is the man who be-
lieves this infamous calumnyf"
No one replied and the caucus pushed
forward about Vest, both to know more
about it and to assure him that no one
believed he was not honorable in his
support of "Silver Dick"
The senatorial Teller conspiracy, which
was thus promulgated by Senator Vest,
finally caught whispered credence among
the Misseurians, but they said, "Vest is
not in it."
When the story was brought to the
Missouri head dquartsrs yesterday afternoon
that Illinois had Joined the Bland column
the cry was raised. "The senatorial CON-
bine is busted. "Gray haired Missourians,
howled in the hotel corridors and saloons,
1915 to 81 on Bland, $3.50 to 81
on Bland, $1,000 to 81 on Bland!" and a
final howl, "$16,0O0 to 81 on Bland!"
The Chicagoans who witnessed this
ebullition cried: "Rats, We will show these
country men something"
As Senator Cockrell entered the caucus
room at the Auditorium annex he was in
teroepted BY the reporter. "Well," said
the senator, in his calm, don't.be-uneasy
way, ut looks very favorable for Mr..
Bland"

seats we're quickly occupied.

WHITNEY AND HILL.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock Mr.. Whitney
and Senator Hill walked up the center
aisle, followed by most of the New York
delegation, who took their places amid
silence.
The members of the national commit
tee and distinguished guests took posses
sion OF the platform early. The most
conspicuous of the latter was Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, whose long patriarch.
ial beard made him easy recognizable.
There we're many reports of minor ac.
cidents as result of the crash at the
doors.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, was
handled roughly and it was said was
knocked down by the surging mob. Sena-
tor Berry, of Arkansas, who has but one
leg, was jammed against wall and his
crutch wrenched from his hand.
"It is about time," said Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, "that we had sergeant. at
arms who could prevent such outrages.' y
