Conditions In Mexico

We frequently hear men who have
more zeal than knowledge refer 10
Mexico as a terrible example OF silver
basis and a 50-ccnt dollar These gen
tlemen do not seem to be aware of the
fact that since the demonstration or
silver in other countries Mexico has
been more prosperous than ever before.
Mexico, like some South AmerI-

hind the United States on account Of
poor government. oppression. superrti-

greater strides toward becoming n

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 2. "A boy

Notes of Interest.
ALAMEDA, CAL. March 2.-Marshal
Rogers collected a total of $500 05 from
licenses during the month of February. OF
this $500 was for liquor licenses, $105 %
for business and S14 so for dogs.

five months ago. She was q years of age.
Policeman Keyes found the door of the
High-street Market, on High street, near
Encinal avenue, open on Sunday night at
10 O'clock, and this gave rise to report
that burglars were on rampage again.
Nothing was stolen, and the door was
probably left open accidentally.

MANHATTAN ATHLETES.
An Enterta nment That Was witnessed
by a Large Gathering of Sport-Lovers.

An Entertainment That Was Witnessed
by a Large Gathering of SpOrt-Lovers.
The Manhattan Athletic Club gave its
inaugural entertainment last evening at
its clubrooms, 1749 Mission street. Judg-
ing from the interest that was manifested
by the large and enthusiastic gathering
of members and lovers of pure athletic
sport ii is decidedly safe to predict most
prosperous future for the new and enter
prising athletic association.
After an Introductory address by one of
the leading representatives of the club
the following very excellent programme
OF athletics was carried out. The first
was a three-round boxing bout between
W. Alex and NJ. Shoenfield, then followed
a three-round contest between ]. Kenny
and t. Mcmahon. Professor Tronchet
the champion swordsman of America and
professor of fencing at the Olympic Club,
gave a very clever and interesting exhIbi-
tion of fencing with Professor Orton. The
club-swinging exhibition by Harry Belden
was loudly applauded, as was also the
four-round boxing bout between Dal Haw-
kins and Charles Reno.
II. Peppers and Joe Kennedy, Gus
Muller and Jim Lucey, Hogan and Riley,
Deacon" Jones and ]. Lawlor, F. Muller
and Tom Lynch, and Young Corbett and
A. Lyngreen appeared in three-round set
tos, which thoroughly pleased the large
gathering OF sport-lovers.
Kelly, Marlowe and James Donohue
sang some popular songs and William Le-
more gave very clever exhibition on the
trapeze.
Taken altogether the entertainment was
decidedly successful and reflects much
credit on the managers. The officers are:
G. A. Reno, president; f. C, Shaefer, vice.
president; James Killeen, secretary; ]. B.
Gallagher, recording secretary; j. B.
Riley, treasurer; Thomas Lynch, master
of ceremonies; G. w. Mertes, captain; f.
G. Muller and Thomas Kennedy, trustees
The officers will leave no stone unturned
to make the Manhattan Club one of the
most popular athletic associations on the

PRESIDENT Kellogg, in his address at the
celebration last Saturday night, declared
that to-day would be university holiday
without stating any conditions. and on
this account the majority of the students
stayed at home when they found it too
wet to work. 1t is generally understood,
however, that another day Will be granted
them in which to finish their task as soon
as the weather clears off sufficiently.
Regent Reinstein came over this after
noon to inspect the work that has already
been done and find out just what more
needs to be done. He stated confidently
that the students would be granted an
other day by the academic council in
which to put the finishing touches on the
work, just as soon as the weather cleared
off.
: .'It is exceedingly gratifying" said he.
"to know that an interest has been taken
in this labor and what excellent results
have been accomplished. What has al
ready been done is beyond my most San
guine expectations. 1 believe that at
least 95 per cent OF the able-bodied male
students at the university have done some
thing toward accomplishing the work. A
large percentage oil them have been abso-
iutely faultless in the matter OF their ap-
plication, having been out daily and
worked hard continuously.

Hotel, and several of the delegates arrived
to-day ready for the opening session.
A number of candidates will be initiated

the past year has been larger in this State

Shortly after noon to-day there was. a
violent hailstorm in this county which
lasted nearly half an hour. The weather
was quite cold during the night and this
morning the hills east and north of the
city were covered with snow for the first
time since 1856.
At Z o'clock this morning snow was
still falling lightly, and from Berkeley to
Liyermore the grass was covered low
down on the hillsides.
The fruit trees are not far enough ad-
vanced toward blossoming to be injured
by the cold spell in most parts of the
county, although the almond trees near
Niles have suffered somewhat.
There was back frost at Haywards on
Saturday night and early yesterday morn
ing, but no damage was done. There was
snow at Niles and Alvarado yesterday and
to-day hailstones of moderate size fell
freely at noon.
If the cold spell continues more than
another day the early vegetables will be
ruined. There is more anxiety shown in
regard to vegetables than 10 fruit trees,
as the latter are not forward enough to be
frost nipped. Tonight cold rain is fall

The prudential reasons" his Honor
refers to are very apparent to the voters of
this county. When Alex Rosborough, the
comedian and State wharfnger, was
elected Tax Collector three years ago,
every body, himself included, concurred in
the opinion that he had sung himself
into Office. At political meeting the
dullness of the views" of candidates is
agreeably enlivened by few comic selec-

this.

that he will be frequently called upon to

back action that seems to distinguish the
ante-election promises of most OF Oakland s

Defendants Leniently Dealt With, as
They Are Out of the Business.
The propretors of poolrooms and their
employees who were arrested for violating
the pool ordinance, and pleaded guilty
after the decision of Judge Wallace. ap-
peared before Judges Joachimsen and Low
yesterday for sentence. They all declared
they had gone out of the business. In the
circumstances Judge eJoachimsen continued
his cases for month to see if they would
adhere 10 that declaration, and Judge Low
fined the defendants in his court SIS with
no alternative.
The cases of Levy, Schwartz and w. B.
Hicks, arrested on Wednesday last, were
heard before Judge Low yesterday. It was
shown that the tickets had been purchased
by the police officers before o'clock in the
afternoon. that the poolrooms had been
closed before the races started and the
money taken out to the track and bet
there. The Judge thought the defendants
had acted within the meaning of Judge
Wallaces decision and dismissed the
cases
