1t is not device to rob the Treasury, or
force an elevated railroad on a suffering
public triangular shaped iron frame
work on near Fifteenth street.
There is no denying that AZ tirst glance
the bhlhS looks very Hi.l.. GiaV 'dS, an
the inference is not unwarranted in view
OF The many wild schemes political, imam

theatrical performance.
Close Inspection SHOWS that small open

bucket is lowered from or dropped into the
bigeNcavation, and then thereis a toot. toot,
and the car goes Oh its way up or down the

DRAWS THE CURIOUS.

1t is operated on the elevated iron track
and draws crowds OF the curious. Indeed,
II has become such u card that special
policeman has been stationed there to keep
the crowds from interfering with the ex-
cavation operations
Tie contractor IA charge says 1t is a
great labor saver i'll hoisting dirt dug by
the cXcavators, and in lowering cement to
the brCklaycrs on the sewer Its capacity
is one yard OF dirt, ana three to the wagon.
The work has progressed half block
along street from Fifteenth, and it opens
about 200 feet Of ground a week.
\ noticeable feature is the absence of
the usual oDstruotfuns in the shape oi great
dirt piles, due To the fact that the lristcr
lifts 1t from the trench and then, quickly
and cleanly, deposits 1t in wagons backed
under the iron tracks
Under the contract, only 500 linear feet
of street can be occupied at one time, so
that the merchants along + street viii

the operations.

Geo. Smith, who has just returned
from the north with his mother and
sister, Mrs. Armstrong, reports
curious experience with cattle on the
Cut Bank q few days before he came
down. a number Of range cattle had
taken shelter in the brush on the
island in the river where they were
out Of the wind and could browse on
the tender shoots Of the willows.
They had crossed over from the snow
covered praircs on the ice. The snow
was from two feet to thirty feet deep
on the level and the cattle could set
no feed on the ranges, and the worst
Of it was. that more snow was fall
ing. And while it was showing at
Cut Bank it was raining just as hard
in the mountains at the head Of that
stream. The rain continued for "A
hours and raised the river so that it
ovcrflowcd it's banks and the island
| where the cattle were. Seeing that
the cattle we're in a bad position, the
weather having turned bitterly cold
and ice forming rapidly, Smith and
Gus Momberg and some others made
their way on horseback to the islant
and drove them off. The water ha
been about knee deep and was frozc
over hard when they got there an
many Of the cattle were frozen fas
by their tails. SO that when the
were forced to go they pulled thei
tails Off and left them sticking in TIL
ice. George af1irms that this is

The San Francisco call., 1896-08-22
Ii the day of the fight will be for strength

| till the day of the fight will be for strength
and cleverness.
Henry Peppers is in Oakland putting on
the finishing touches for his bout with
Purcell. Peppers has the reputation of
being one of that class of ringsters denom-
mated as foxy and will make the New
York rusher know that he is in front of q
small cyclone himself.
Gus Herget is in Alameda rapidly get
ting into form for his "go'' with "Spider"
Kelly. This ought to turn out one of the
cleverest contests witnessed here in long
time.
The last and most authentic reports are
that Gallagher has no intention whatever
of avoiding his scheduled meeting with
George Green, but will be here the day
before the event.
The National Clubs offer of 500, 900 for
the Sharkey- -Corbett contest is not likely
to be duplicated by another organization,
so far as can be learned. That is large
sum to offer for boxing contest in these
uncertain times, and great deal of pluck
was requiI ed to offer it.
A rumor is afoat TO the effect that an
attempt will be made to pull this fight off
at West Baden Springs, but its authen-
ITCHY is very doubtful, as the State author
tiles have made several bitter fights
against ring contests there with the event
ual result of triumph. Since then the
laws have been made so strict as regards
prizehghting that any chance of a meeting
seems utterly beyond the bounds OF pos
sibility.
If Corbett and Sharkey are really
anxious to fight, and the latter's eagerness
is unquestioned, it would be a very easy
matter to evade the peace officers. This
has been proved time and again. The
case of Maher and Fi.zsimmons might be
mentioned in this connection, as well as
O,,l Iroiy, uvhn
with bare knuckles at Richburg, Miss,
July 8, 1889, giving the authorities of two
States the slip.
1t has been given out that Jimmy An
thony, the bantam-weight champion of
Australia, is willing to meet Frank Smith
of the Olympic Club and Dan Mahoney
the same evening for eight rounds each,
providing he be permitted a half hour be-
tween the contests in which to rest. Smith
agrees to this if Anthony will sign articles
to defeat him in the eight rounds. As
Smith fights in the feather-weight class
his offer is magnanimi.y personified.
Anthony, next to Joe McAuliffe, is the
apple of old Barney Farley's eye.
The Crescent Athletic Club of Berkeley
has decided to postpone the date OF its
boxing tournament until August 20, in
order to give the committee on arrange
ments more time in which to make
matches. Two are already settled.
This month will also see contest be-
tween Cleveland Johnny Lavack and Aus
tral1an Billy Murphy, who will box fifteen
rounds, with five more optional.
The New York News, bearing date Of
August IA, is authority for the statement

being freed shortly.

Emil Languetin of the Bay City Wheel
men is training hard for his attempt upon
the worlds five-mile road record Sunday
week, and many think he has as good as
got the record, barring accidents.
1t is not generally known that the Bay
City Wheelmen have a member who once
defeated Champion Zimmerman in mile
race. He is Fred Chandler, who has been
absent in Australia for the past two
months and is expected home in a few
days. The race occurred at q town in
Ohio some three years ago, when thinner
man was at his very best. 1t was mile
handicap, and Chandler's first and only
race. The official Handicapped gave him
an immense handicap, some say it was
500 yards. but at any rate be was so far in
the lead Zimmerman did not notice him.
After Jimmy" had overtaken his field in
his usual clever style he saw Chandler a
short way ahead, pegging away for dear
life. Thinking it was some fellow he had
