General Graham Expressed Himself
as Well Pleased With the Good
Showing Made.

| The boys out at the Presidio had a great
time yesterday. 1t was the occasion O.
their monthly field day and all were ir
| fine form.
| The football team of Fort Mason, most
| of whom are membe of Battery NJ were
| recently transferred to the Presidio and
who were literally represented by the fai1
sex. Their opponents were team from
Alcatraz Island.
AS the participants in the athletic tour
| nament have only had about two weeks
time in which to train their performance
was very creditable.
The game was played in accordance with
| association rules hands being used only
in throwing the ball. a. A. Mckinley
acted as referee. The different positions
occupied by the members of the Preside
team were as follows:
Goal, Sinnott; fuilbacks w. Tobin,
Henry; halfbacks-Wilkes. Austin, Bokle-
man; forwards-Bennett, J. Tobin, Kelly,
McMulen, McCaffrey.
The members of Alcatraz club held their
respective positions in the following order
Goal, Riley; fullbacks-Kratzer, Mathe-
son; halfbacks cks-McCormick, E. Soules,
Angel; forwards-Mills, Rice, B. Soules,
Curran, Steele.
Rlordan acted as lineman for the Presi-
dio team and Adams for the men from
| Alcatraz.
At the kickoff Alcatraz got the choice OF
goals and for the first half kicked with the
wind.
The Presidio team had the kickoff and
the ball was set in motion by Kelly.
Throughout both halves the play was spir-
| tied, and the spectators earned the reward
of their trouble in being present.
Curran did some very good playing for
Alcatraz. and Riley made some excellent
! stops. Their lack of discipline, however,
manifested itself in the fact that the team

in for individual honors.

was done by Bennett. Kelly showed him.

instead of Matheson was accidentally in

game. Both scores made by the Preside
team were made in the second half, Ben

Greek draperies, and as the calcium lights
played upon each succeeding figure the
effect was most beautiful.
The argument of the little play, which
tells in pathetic, simple verse and series
of beautiful tableaus of the visions of the
shepherds dream, was minutely described
in yesterdays CALL.
After the entertainment the guests
wandered at will about the grounds or
INDUCED in the merry dance, which held
full sway in the large and elegant recep-
tion rooms of the home.
At IL O'Clock an elaborate supper was
served on the lawn, and during supper
the second part of the programme, con-
sisting of fancy Spanish dancing and con-
cluding with charming little Lola's Polish
dance, completed the evenings pro-
gramme.
At 1 o'clock the speciel which was to
convey the guests to their homes in the
City pulled out of the Burlingame station.
Very few of the revelers, however, re-
turned to town. All the surrounding
homes accom- modated many of the guests
for the night. Quite a number were
housed at the Burlingame Club. Robert
Coleman, Henry J. Scott Joseph D. Grant,
Mr.. and Mrs. Crocker and several others
had large house parties.
This fete champetre, which is sure to be
the sole topic of interest in social circles
to-day, is the first of series that Mr.. and
Mrs. Crocker are prepared to give before
the season closes.

UNUSUAL DILIGENCE.
James Shea Did Not Employ It, and
in Consequence, William Baddeley
Broke Leg.


A new trial has been granted by the
Supreme Court in the case of William
Baddeley against James Shea. The plain
tiff, an emplove of the City Transfer
Company, called at the defendants house
to remove two trunks, in compliance with
a request from Shea. The smaller trunk
was carried down to the wagon without
difficulty, but the larger one was exceed
ingly heavy. Shea offered to help him,
but the lusty transfer man said he could
carry the trunk, even though its owner
should be seated upon it. The young
lady to whom the trunk belonged pre-
ferred to go downstairs in the orthodox
fashion, and Baddeley carried the box
down without any trouble; but when
going out of the front door the frail wood
work of the landing gave way under the
united weight of man and trunk. The
result so far as Baddeley was concerned
was a broken leg, besides sundry bruises.
Plaintiff claiming damages from Shea
on account of the flimsy framework of his
front doorsteps, he was given verdict in
the Superior Court, from which the de-
fendant appealed. The reversal of the
Judgment is based on the position that
owners of houses are bound to use no
more than ordinary vigilance in looking
after the safety of their premises, aud that
Shea would have to have employed extra
ordinary and unusual diligence in order
to have detected the presence of drvrot in
the beams supporting the landing of his
front steps, since those beams were con-
cealed from view by the surrounding
woodwork.

perfect: the star studded heavens were
clear and blue. The stiff little breeze that
had been blowing so persistently during
the afternoon died away, and the still,
pure atmosphere disturbed not leaf nor
even a petal of the most delicate flower.
All day long workmen had been busy
giving the final touches to the lawn which
was to be the theater for the charming
pastoral, "The Shepherds Dream" In
the center circular stage was erected, or
to be more correct half stage. The lawn
slopes at this point and just enough
boards were laid to complete large cir
cular fiat for the action OF the players
The illumination of the grounds was
perfect. Electric lights cleaned in the
midst of the shrubbery and mum berless
lanterns swung from the giant arms of the
great oaks that surround the grounds.
At 9 o'clock the special train bearing the
invited guests arrived. Arrangements for
the transportation of the guests from the
station to the home had been carefully at
tended to. The club stables had been
taxed to the utmost, as well as those. of
the Crocker place and the surrounding
homes. Conveyances were plentiful and
the guests were quickly driven to the
home of their generous host and hostess
1t was nearly 10 o'clock before the little
pastoral, "The Shepherd s Dream" which
was to constitute one of the surprises of
the evening, was presented.
The simple and pretty action of the play
fitted in neatly with the artistic surround
ings, and the dancing OF the ballet will
forever shed luster of glory over their
instructor, Professor William j. O'Brien
who also originated and arranged all the
dance movements. The young ladies
taking part were all garbed in flowing

MILLER MUST DIE.
The Murdere Is Not Allowed by the
Supreme Court to Retire His
Plea of Not Guilty.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
jud gment of the lower tribunal in the
criminal case Of the People against Mar
shall J. Miller. Miller pleaded guilty in
the Superior Court, where he had been
arraigned for the murder of julius Pier.
The crime was perpetrated amid atroc:ous
cruelties, and the jury found verdict OF
guilty, recommending that the extreme
penalty of the law be visited upon the
defendant.
Hearing that he WAS about to be SEN
fenced to death, Miller sought to with
draw his plea of guilty, making an affi-
davit that he was under the influence OF
liquor when he committed the crime.
This withdrawal the trial Judge refused to
permit In affirming this action the Su.

Judge followed the only admissible course
in view of the evidence submitted to him.

ordered to paw the money to Mrs. Miller.

giddy people-like Andy Lucas and
little Bunk Weatherford--are now wont
to laugh at old man Pleas and poke fun
at his troubles. But to me it is one
of the most saddest cases in the re-
corded history of Rocky Creek.
About this time last year old man
Pleas lost his wife-which they had
walked hand in hand together through
all these many years. Then along in
the Christmas his son Tony stole a

Watson boys over in the hill country,

at last his onlyest daughter - which
they called her Sweetie, and if she had

of duds one bright and beautiful spring
