The game was close and exciting. The
nrst half OF the game was played without
either side scoring goal. but in the last
half the contestants called on their re-
serve energy and went after the ball with
renewed vigor. In their enthusia SIN both
sides committed few fouls, but no hard
feeling was engendered. The sophomores
made the first goal, but in a few seconds
the agile freshmen evened up the score.
Six more goals were made during the re-
ma1nder OF the game, four of which went
to the sophomores and two to the fresh
men. AT the call of time the score stood
5 to 3 in favor of the sophomores.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, May S.-A cooler
wind ushered in to-day and slight fog
was perceptible to early risers. There
were some Of these-particular.y those
| who had ''made night of it"-and the
| streets were soon filed with people, many
of whom were willing to rest from carni-
walls for another year. The band began to
play, and the throngs to pass and repass,
in happy confusion. Some few took the
early trains for home, but most of the
visitors remained 10 see the entire round
of events. The merry -go-round, the lemon
ade and ioecream stands took IN their
share of stray nickels, and even the phono-
graph man, with his squeaky, rubber
tubed machine, delighted the small boys
and country maidens and reaped quite
harvest.
The first event OF the day was balloon
ascension, the balloon being hot-air bag,
sixty-five feet in height. The aeronaut
went up with his head in a sling, suspend
ed by the neck, gave some acrobatic per-
formances in the air, and descended by
means Of a parachute from height of
nearly 1000 feet.
Following this was an exhibition of
fancy and difficult riding, picking up OBJ
jects from the ground on running horse,
etc.. by Buck" Coleman of Oregon. This
was quite we'll done, but when he pro-
posed to ride wild horse on the public
street the city dads objected and relegated
the show to field at the edge of town.
The crowd having adjourned the fiery and
untamed mustang was brought forth. 1t
turned out to be neat three-year-old who
objected somewhat to the rough manner
in which he was being u ed, but showed no
! symptoms of viciousness. Vigorous spur
ing and liam basting" elected success
sion of gentle jumps, and while the throng
yelled the caballero dismounted in tri-
umph. An old black steed that had not
quite forgotten his young tricks offered a
more realistic idea of bucking stock and
gave the bold vaquero sight of bucking
horse.
The Veteran Firemen and Exempts took
their departure at 2 O'clock leaving many
newly made friends and bearing kind feel
ings for their hosts of Healdsburg.
They marched down to the depot with
flying banners, escorted by bands of
music, and by those who were sorry to see
them go they will always be welcomed on
their future returns to Healdsburg.
Without any intermission the people
wended their way to the wheelmen's meet,
at the east side of town. The bicycle races
at the track were fairly well attended, the
afternoon being very pleasant though a
tride windy. The judges were Cowan,
Morse. Shrader and Elliot, with Barnes as
referee. While waiting for the crowds to
ill up the grand stand Messrs. Near and
Smith gave an exhibition mile on tan
dem, making the run in 2:35 3-5.

The feld-day sports in the afternoon
drew about 5000 spectators. Queen Lillian
and her maids of honor were on the scene
early, their gaily decorated vehicles at
tracing considerable attention. They
were interested spectators OF the efforts of
Stanford's agile students, and did not
leave the track until late in the afternoon.
During the progress of the athletic sports
and the basket ball game Roncovieri's s
band enlivened the sports with an
occasional selection.
The first event was 100-yard dash, in
which the contestants were j. ?. Bernhard,
| Evans Holbrook, George Toombs, ]. p.
| Colliver and II. Reynolds. The race was
an easy one for Bernhard, who led all the
way. Harry Reynolds, who has made
quite reputation as hurdler, showed
up we'll in this contest, crossing the line
| less than yard behind the leader. George
| Toombs was third, Holbrook fourth and
Colliver fifth. Bernhard went the distance
in the fast time of 10 1-5 seconds.
/ The entries for the high jump were
George Toombs, H. B. Reynolds, c. S.
Dole and R. l.. Wilber. This contest was
won by Toombs, who cleared feet 5L
inches.
The exhibition of pole-vaulting by C. S.
Dole aroused quite little enthusiasm.
Dole's record, which is also the record of
the Pacific Coast, is 10 feet 10 inches, and
he made an attempt to-day 10 make still
| higher flight. He yaulted over the stick
at an altitude of 10 feet with ease, but II
feet was just trife too much for him.
Once it looked as if he had succeeded, but
just as the Stanford yell began to circulate
the right arm of the vaulter touched the
stick and down it came. the Stanford yell
ending in whistle as it fell. After hall
dozen creditable attempts Dole concluded
to let his record stand at 10 feet 10 inches.
In the hammer-throwing contest two
hammers were used, one weighing twelve
pounds and the other sixteen. Dorm oi

This was cut down about $3.50 by reduc-

and cutting off the customary subsidy of
$l2O to the Forester of America, a fraternal
monthly paper. There has been great
deal of talk in the subordinate courts for
the.past year and great many delegates
had been instructed to make every effort
to have the per capita tax reduced. 1t was
clearly shown, however, that such a course
would seriously cripple the extension of
the work OF the order and that the final
result would be retrogression and the per
capita tax for the coming year was fixed
at so cents.
The incoming executive council was in
structed to procure the new regalia for
past grand chief rangers and present the
same to all such past officers in good
standing. The thanks of the grand body
were unanimously voted to the press of

proceedings of this session, and three
cheers were given for the ladies and citi-

this morning there was a marked decrease
in the attendance, due no doubt to the
activity displayed at the banquet last even

up with the report of the law committee.
Several amendments relating to the dis

submitted with view of making certain
ambiguous clauses in the present laws

Upon recommendation of the committee

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 8. - The

was consumed in discussion on various
matters pertaining TO the fruit interests of

would seem that the damage by frost has
not been universal throughout the State,
serious damage being confined to scat
tered localities, and the outlook for fruit
growers is far brighter than was at first
expected after the late frosts At the
afternoon session the mem bers listened to
a lecture on the irrigation of deciduous
fruits by Professor E. w. Hiigard of the
