There was scarcely a corporals guard of
horse lovers fringing the tan bark wnen
practice was begun. Among these were
four women, who took keen interest in
the horses who were frisking about the
track. Conspicuous among the horsemen
who were putting their favorites through
their PAGES was A. A. Bonner, mounted On

work with such will that he succeeded
in taking a fine back fall near the west
end of the ring, throwing his rider; no
Damage was done.
Mrs. Capt. III. Thompson mounted on
Bridesmaid, and Miss Holloway, mounted
on Bell Ringer, were in the ring.

BODY IDENTIFIED.
Friends Recognize the Man Drowned
I'm Eastern Brauch

The body of William Henry Jones. found
in the river near Twining City Saturday
afternoon, has been fully identified. Mrs.
Caroline Thornton, sister of the dead man.
who lives at No. 1o27i4 10Th street north
west. recognized the letters found on the
body. She had written some of them To her
brother when he was at Saratoga Springs.
The deceased had lived here most of his
life. His father was a man OF means. and
when he died it was found that his money
had been left in trust for his children.
William had not been steady in his habits
at all times, and some of those who knew
him think he mad probably been drinking
the day he fell in the river. Four weeks
ago he left Saratoga Springs, and. so far as
his sister knows, he had not obtained en-
ployment since his return.
Coroner Carr, who learned the facts from
the police. was satisfied that Jones had
fallen in the river. and gave a certificate
of accidental death. The body will be
buried in one of the local cemeteries.

DISPOSAL OF TREASURES.
Ideas for Arranging Picture Effects

Ideas for Arranging Picture Effects
In Library Art Department..
Mr. Thomas G.. Aivord superintendent of
the art department of the New Congress
ioral Library, has returned from New
York. where he went to get the opinions of
leading art experts as to the disposal of
the treasures in his department.
Mr.. Alvord arrived in New York during
the preparation for the annual exhibition of
the Academy of Design. and had the oppor-
trnity OF seeing how the pictures were
hung there. He saw the operations of the
New York water-color exhibition. which
was continuing during his visit there He
visited George Story, curator of the Metro
politan Museum. and laid before him the
plans and objects of the art gallery of the
new library building. He also visited 4
Carol Beckwith, secretary of the Academy
of Design. and Howard Russell RutJer
president of the American Fine Art Society
In addition to this, the private art galleries
and sales rooms on 5th avenue were visit
ed, and much was learned in them regard
ing the details Of arranging pictures.
MIR. AlvOrd said that nearly all had differ
ent ideas as to details of disposing the pic
lures, but that nearly all agreed that no
black and white pictures should be shown
IN cabinets. as that idea is now obsolete
in the best arranged galleries. The con-
sensus OF opinion seemed to be that screens
should be used in the gallery These
screens, 1t was thought, should be run out
at right angles to the windows. from them
extending upward to the height of about
eight feet. The light, therefore, would be
furnished the pictures from the windows
between the screens. The screens should
be further arranged so that the gallery
could be divided into three sections giving
one the idea of three separate galleries.
1t was generally agreed also that each
picture should be framed so as to give 1t
distinct individuality, and the details fur
Their worked out by the architect of the
building.
While 1t Is thought the windows, under
the arrangement suggested. will give suffi-
cient light. 1t Is probable that incandescent
lamps will be placed in the ceiling, to be
brought into requisition in case the GAL
iery Is open at night.
The new library building is visited now
daily by about fifteen hundred persons. or
this number about two hundred enter the
reading room and make requests for books
and papers.

A Pretty San Leandro Girl

The elopement craze in the interior of
Alameda County has reached point that
might be called ridiculous were il not so
serious matter. Almost every day for
weeks an elopement has been reported
until the marriage tie is actually being
egarded in the nature of joke.
The usual romantic affair was reported
to-day from San Leandro. young lady
went 10 an orchard, presumably TO gather
fruit, she met her lover, they went before
a JuEtice and 'he young lady returned,
not with fruit, but with a hush
Bertha Stratton. the lady in ques.
tion, graduated from the public schools a
month ago. She is a very bright, attrac-
tive girl, fair, and just IS years old. Her
father is one of the earliest settlers of San
Leandro. He was at one time wealthy
man and later served as Town Marshal.
Altogether the family is one of the best
known in the little town.
Bertha's lover is Manuel Frates, a YOUNG
man who is employed in the Alameda
ship building yards. No one knew that
there was any bond of affection between
them, and when it became known that
they were married there was great sur-
Frates. the ze-fghter, and Mr. Stratton
would not have given his consent to the
m atch had he been consulted. But he
was ignored and the parental blessing has
not yet been administered.
Friday afternoon Bertha and Manuel
had a conference and they agreed to get
arried the mex: afternoon. Yesterday
Bertha left her home TO 90 10 Suilivan's
orchard to get some currants. On the way
she met Manuel. The young man had,
according 10 agreement, procured a license
in Oakland, so instead of going TO the or
chard the two went before Justice Quinn.
The Justice was surprised TO see his old
friends daughter appear and demand to
be married, but as both were of age he
com piled and couple of minutes later
they were man and wife.
The news soon spread and there was
much grief in the young lady's family
when she confirmed it with her own Inns.
A year ago Clara, an elder sister of
Bertha's, eloped with young man named
King, and after the wedding returned TO
san Leandro. King is only three and a
half feet tall and S manager of an express
company, and since that time her Younger
sister has often said she would follow
Clara's example. She has carried out her
threat.
