e M,;;,,

One of the hardest things to contend
with in game of whist is playing with a
beginner who has got far enough advanced
to know the ''call for trumps." When
they have this much knowledge, which,
unfortunately, they often get year or
two before they acquire a knowledge of
the leads, anu how to make it, they sell
dom, If ever, let an opportunity slip with
out "calling" with or without reason, and
instantly the hand is played they invari-
ably ask, ''Did you see my call2" or
"Why didn't you answer my call?" The
interest in the whole deal to them was the
fact they ''called for trumps," regardless
of the number they held or tricks they
won or lost. have known this class of
players to call for trumps without one in
their hand, and offer as an excuse, they
thought it would be good idea to call
and have partner get out two for one.",
The above is almost daily occurrence
among a certain class of whist players.
Our advice would be to beginners-seldom
if ever call for trumps. A great many ad-
vanced in the knowledge of the game
make the same mistake. We will give a
few situations when a player would be
justified in asking for trumps.
When the original leader picks up his
hand and finds he has one strong, plain
suit, ana is also strong in trumps. If an
honor is turned to his right, and he can
prevent that honor from making a trick,
he is justified in calling" on his original
lead. as previously explained IN these

Island.
CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION.
Drills That Go On Always-How Uncle
Sam Teaches and Toughens
His Sailors.

A training station on Yerba Buena Isl
and. one of the naval probabilities of the
near future, will be an auxiliary to the
cruiser building of the Pacific Coast.
While Mare Island and the Union Iron
Works make the ships Yerba Buena will
make the sailors to man them.
Goat Island, the fair Capri OF San Fran
cisco Bay, has been jealousiy guarded by its
owner, the Federal Government, from pio-
heer days. Various plans have been floated
to grab the bit of bay-girt land that orna-
ments the eastern part of the harbor.
Even the great Southern Pacific has mem
aced those precious acres, but Uncle Sam
has declined any more donations IN that
quarter, and Yerba Buenais still portion
of the United States.
The island was for long time occupied
by troop of the National forces, but sew
.eraI years ago the post was removed. The
barracks and other buildings were located
on small, almost level piece of plain on
the narrow neck between the eastern and
western headlands. Now a few shade
trees, planted long ago by the soldiers,
grow on the hillsides, and the grass springs
thick and green over the old parade
ground.
This little plateau lies between the light
house supply depot and the torpedo sta
ton, a couple of hundred yards from each,
and better place could hardly be found
for the proposed training school. While
sheltered from the winds by highlands on
the west, it affords an unobstructed view
of the northern and southern portions of
the harbor. The Alameda shore, stretch
ing far along the east, and the peerless
Golden Gate to the west, opens broad to
the spectator. Fronting the Oakland pier
is pretty cove of quarter-circle sweep.
with a sandy, sloping beach. In this basin
may lie moored the training squadron of
the station, and on its still waters the
young sailors may handle their oars in
boat drill
When the Congressional appropriation
makes the Yerba Buens training school
ready for the work OF building crews Tor
the Pacific cruisers, it will be naval post

diture.

The lack of funds to retain the necessary
help in Golden Gate Park caused the
discharge of eighty laboring men on the
last day of April. This shortage of funds
not only acts as a drawback to work that
is q necessity, but it prevents the Park
Commissioners from improving Point
Lobos road, a thoroughfare sadly in need
of repairs.
Since the Sutro electric line of cars COM
menced to run through the Richmond dis
trict several houses have been built on the
line of Clement street out as far as Tenth
avenue, where streets are laid out, graded
and macadamized. Yet Point Lobos road
is neglected and permitted to remain year
after year in it's almost impossible condi-
ton, because it is under the supervision of
the Park Commissioners from Central
avenue to the Cliff House.
The Point Lobos and Richmond i'm
provement clubs have repeatedly tried to
have this road attended to, but so far the
attempt has been futile, while the avenues
intersecting it have been put in tolerably
good condition by the property-owners.
First avenue alone has been left in it's
normal condition by reason of protest
by majority of the property-owners, who
are opposed to its pavement on the line
and terms which it was sought to have it
paved with bitumen. This protest has the
effect OF staying the work for a period of
six months from the time of its present.
ment to the Supervisors. What action
will be taken when the six months exnire
remains to be seen.

of "All hands abandon ship" He does
not rush frantically for a boat, but goes
quietly to his station with food, water,
arms or whatever article he has been told
off to provide, and awaits the order to
leave the ship. Nothing is ever done at
haphazard on boari of a man-of-war.
When the apprentice has acquired the
nece ssary proficiency he is rated second
class, with pay al $15. or first-cass at $21
per month. He may be appointed an act
ing petty officer with the increased
mApthly pay of that rating, which may
reach as high as $50
The naval apprentice is eligible to the
position of warrant officer, such as
boatswain, gunner, sailmaker or carpen-
ter, though the latter are generally ap-
pointed from the ranks of those who have
served their time in ship-carpentry.
These officers receive from $1,000 to $500
per year The higher petty officers, such
as writers at $35. chief gunners and
boatswains mates at $50, yeomen at $50
and master-at-arms at $65 per month, are
given 10 ex-apprentice boys in preference
to other enlisted men when possible.
