BRITISH SHIPS G|G RACE
Many Entries in a Race Over
the Long Bridge
Course.
The Crew of the Ship Inchcape Rock
Is Victorious by
Length.

Seven gig crews from the British ships
lying at anchor in the bay off Long Bridge
settled yesterday the much-mooted ques-
ton of supremacy. For long they have
worried over the vexed problem as to
which crew was the better oarsmen.
The race was held under the auspices of
the British Sailors Institute and the Rev.
Mr.. Fell acted as referee and starter.
The course over which the race was rowed
was from the end of Long Bridge around
the bark Alexander, anchored off the sugar
refinery, and back to stakeboat abreast
of the Union Iron Works. All in all, the
course was about a mile and half in
length.
Boats from the following ships took part
in the regatta: Arctic Circle, British Yoe-
man, Cromdale, Ellesmere, Varajein,
Incheape Rock and Balamere.
AT the word "go" the gig crew from the
lnchcape Rock caught the water first and
got slight start. The other boats started
of simultaneously, and hot race ensued
to the turning boat, with the Inchcape
Rock crew boat length in the lead. and
the others so well punched that daylight
was invisible between.
A foul occurred in the race to the turn
ing point between the crews of the Vara-
jein and Celtic Race, but little ground was
lost through it, and nearly all the boats
rounded the bark Alexander together with
the Inchcape Rock crew still in the lead.
Coming home with the tide all the
crews redoubled their efforts, and a most
exciting finish was the result. But the
Inchcape Rocks gig proved the winner by
fifteen seconds, with the British Ieoman
second and the Cromdale third.
TIE other boats finished within half a
boats length of each other.
A large crowd witnessed the race, prin-
cipally friends OF the apprentice boys and
of the institute.
On the bark Alexander, at the turning
point was crowd of the fair sex, who be-
came very enthusiastic when the boats
started to turn and urged their favorites to
do their utmost to win.
After the race was over the crew of the
Inchcaps Rock boat was presented with
$40, and somptuous repast was spread
for them when they went aboard their
ship.
The coxswains of the boats in the race
were officers aboard ship, and no little
amount of interest was manifested in the
contest. 1t has been one of the topics Of
conversation around cline juice" corner,
Battery and Washington, for the past
week.
The captains had their crews in training
nightly for the event, and quite sum OF
money chan ed hands on the result.
The outcome of this race will be another
regatta, to be held at Sausalito in two
weeks in which it is expected that the
crews from nearly all the British ships in
the harbor will take part.

semblance to the murderous expression
seen in the eye Of the victim Of football
punching up" In fact, the girls held
their tempers admirably. Their faces
glowed with fun and exercise, but never
with anger. No locks were disarranged
except by the vigorous movements of the
owner. The Stanford girls landed the ball
in their basket early in the first half. The
University of California girls took their
cue, and before the timekeeper announced
the recess they, too had lodged the bulky
ball in its temporary resting-place. The
girls of the blue and gold felt that the god
OF games was against them.
Three times the ball hovered over the
basket, then flew off on tangent into the
arms or faces of the crowd. Three fouls
were declared in the first half
When the fifteen minutes respite came
the players hastened to their dressing
rooms.

were fine plays on both sides. Captain
McCray and Captain Griswold directed
their forces keeniy, and both sides rose to
the occasion. The situation was dramatic,

Palo Alto boys, who were modestly occu-

just outside the entrance, tried to make
the welkin ring with their jubilation, but
the volume Of sound was so harsh and thin
com pared with the unison of softer, sweeter
sounds that they subsidized into bashful
silence, and contented themselves with
beaming admiration upon the fair athletes
as, flushed with victory, they walked with
free, girlish strides to the dressing-room.

Stanford contingent, dignified retreat by
the Berkeleyites.
While the dressing and chattering was
going on it developed that the two teams
had had practically the same am cunt of
training, except that Stanford had played
with other teams while this was Berkeley's
first trial.
The bold, bad, curious young men were
in evidence occasionally during the game.
They tried to look through the glazed
windows, and once there was a hysteric
mu-mur that the armory boys were look
Ing through the skylight, but the police
men appeared and the boys melted out OF
sight. Once a few faces peered over the
hall door leading into the gallery, but
were driven away by storm of Kisses.
When the crowd broke up there was an
attempt to sing the Stanford University
song:

A Rainbow Face.

A strange case in which local doc
tors, as we'll as scientists from the sur.
rounding country, are interested is
that of Clement smith, colored, OF
Belvidere, N. j., who drives the pub.
lie ice wagon at that place. AS the
sky changes the face of the colored
man takes on a different hue, and it is
said that his face is slowly assuming
the hues and colors Of the rainbow.
The doctors who have examined the
man say they are puzzled, and the
only explanation they can give for the
strange freak of nature Is that it is
caused by the chemical action OF the
suns rays on the ice which is handled
by Smith daily. Mrs. Smith, the
mother OF the young man, tried to
wash the lines from his face, but could
not do so. She is superstitious, as is
her husband, and fears something is
going to happen to her 500, but he
goes about his work as usual, moi
minding the attention he is attracting
