be tapestried with paintings on silk done
by local artists. The reception-room is all
done in gold and the precious metal used
in decorating it would make good year s
nav for an artisan. Miss Whittier's suite
of rooms is the most pleasantly situated IN
the house.
The rooms are furnished in birdseye
maple and will be made fitting in every
wav for the bride. Master Whittier s
rooms are on the top foor and like his
father and sister he has reception-room
in which he Will be able to entertain his
boy friends.
The billiard and smoking rooms are all
on the top story and an elevator connects
directly with them. From both of them
a magnificent view of the bay and Golden
Gate can be obtained. The ventilation
throughout is as near perfect as possible.
Electric lights are in every room and
closet, and in the latter the lights are lit
and put out by the opening and closing of
the doors.
The dining-room is all finished in to-
mano wood, which gives a light and very
handsome appearance to the apartment.
Perhaps the handsomest piece of work in
the entire building is the door to the
main entrance. 1t is beautifully carved
and cost $500 for the carving alone.
Mr.. Whittier is very fond OF dogs, and
he has not forgotten his pets in the build
ing of his home. Their quarters are IN
the rear of the house and each dog has
seperate stall. There is sick ward and
all the appliances necessary in the care of
CANNES.
Chris Chisholm, who looked after all
the carpentering work and the interior
fittings, has reason to be proud of his Ia
bors. Besides Whittier's mansion he has
superintended the building of the houses

on q similar scale. Architect Edward r.
Swain has been at particular pains to see
that an artistic Job was done, and he has
suseeeded.
The new building is for ". Frank Whit
tier, and the grand opening will be in Oc-
tober on the occasion of his daughter
marriage with a. Baird, the New York
millionaire. In the meantime pictures
and silverware are arriving from the East
and are stored in the vaults and burglar
proof safes in readiness for the house
warming.
Mr.. Whittier's new home will be mod
ern in every respect and nothing that
money cen buy will be lacking in its
equipment Nearly everything used in its
construction is California material, and
everything has been done by California
labor.
Chris" Chisholm, the contractor, has
more than given satisfaction and others
engaged on the building have done equally
as well. The only exception made in the
building material was in the stone for the
steps and the flag for the porch. Mr..
Whittier is Maine man and he wants to
set his foot on something from that State
as soon as he enters his own gate. In con-
sequence he sent East for flag ten by
eighteen and a number of smaller stones.
The big one has been polished and forms
the flooring for the porch, while the
smaller ones pave the way from the gate
to the door.
The window glass is also imported. 1t
came from Belgium and experts say it is
the finest that has ever come to California.
The fittings OF the entire house will be
sumptuous. The guest chamber and all
the principal rooms on the main floor will

DEL MONTE, CAL, Aug. 27.-By far
the greater number of the guests at Del
Monte were indoors to-day looking terri
bly, bored, retailing yarns and wishing in
expressibly that they had not come. In
deed the moon was the only thing that
was brilliant, except perhaps some of the
ladies' toilets. No one seemed to feel any
enthusiasm at all over the meet.
Even the fine specimens of horsefesh to
be seen at the racetraek to-day failed to
arouse more than momentary interest.
The races were to have commenced
promptly at o'clock, but society is always
late and it was after before the first event
was decided, for the good reason that there
was no one present to witness the race be-
fore that time. C. A. Baldwin was the first
to arrive with his coach, drawn by his fav-
orite team, three blacks and an iron gray.
Hobart's coach was next with Walter s.
Hobart at the whip. After Hobart came
many other traps and drags.
Lew C. White started the events and did
excellent work. There were five races pro-
erammed but in the morning the third
was declared of. At the last minute, how
ever, Hobart came to the re scue and had
a substitute made up.
The first event of the day was q quarter
mile dash for qualified polo ponies not to
exceed fourteen hands two inches, gentle

San Francisco horses in this race and the
batting was rather brisk. Nine horses
started. Charlie Boots took the lead from
the start and belc 1t TO the finish.
Cetch'em was strong in the last furlong

was very good considering the condition
of the track.

Syinnerton had the mounts. Hobart won
easily with Hayseed, r. M. Tobin on Ala

The fourth race was at a mile with six
entries. 1t was very close and ended IN
whipping finish, with Tuxedo IN the lead
Time, Al.
The fifth and last was two-mile steeple-
chase, in which four horses started. There
was a good deal of applause from the audi
ence as 7. Tobin rode past on Morgan q.
He was not in the race at the finish, how
ever, for Jim CorbetC won easily. ALI the
horses took the hurdles nicely and with

A BOYS HORRIBLE DEATH
Crushed Beneath the Wheels of a
Heavy Wagon on Berry
Street.
John Staples, an Eight.Year.0ld Lad,
Killed by an Unknown Truck.
man.

At $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
body of John Staples, an eight-year-old
boy. residing at 934 Bryant street, was
found lying in the middle of Berry street,
between Sixth and Seventh. The skull
was crushed and the neck broken.
The head and neck were buried in the
sand beneath the wagon wheel. 1t is sup
posed that the boy was killed by being
run over by truck. The place where the
body was found is about 100 feet west of
the hay barn of Scott & McCord. The
pat b OF the wagon wheel led up 20 the
door of this barn.
Patrick Rooney. teamster in the en-
ploy OF Scott & McCord, said he drove his
truck along Berry street shortly after 5
o'clock past the place where young
Staples body was found. He unhitched
his horses at the barn, he said, and drove
his horses back along Berry street. At
that time. he said, he did not see the boy s
body.
Frank Scott of Scott & McCord says that
at about 5 80 O'Clock he sent a teamster to
the yard OF J. w. Schouten for load of
lum Der. The teamsier, says Scott, was
not able 10 secure the lumber there and
was sent TO another yard.
In going to this yard, Scott said, the
teamster had to drive along Berry street
past the place where the body was found.
1t is supposed. in the light of Rooney's
statement that he did not see the body and
that the other teamster, whose identity is
at present unknown, might have run over
the body.
The police of the Southern District are
investigating the case, but have not yet
discovered who ran over the boy, if in
truth he was run over, as the position and
condition of the body would seem to indi-
cate.
Young Staples body was removed to the
Morgue by Deputy Coroner O'Brien.
