One of the busiest of the local trade
organizations is the Master Horse

body was held last Tuesday, and ten

ing much valuable information. A
stamp or label was adopted by the or

shoe which does not bear the label be
brought into a union shop, the work
men will refuse to tighten the shoe

AMATEUR BOXING BOUTS.
First-CIoss Sport at tbe Manhattan
Clubs EntertoiDmept.

The Manhattan Athletic Club gave
a ffrst-class athletic entertainment last
evening at it's clubrooms, 1749 Mission
street. Long before the first event was
called the department IN which the
boxing bouts were held was thronged
with enthusiastic members.
Virgins and Muller and Sullivan and
Murphy boxed two spirited rounds
each. Palmer and Flynn followed and
boxed three lively rounds.
The master of ceremonies then an
nounced that Green, the Seattle cham
pion amateur, who had challenged
Muller of the Manhattan Club to meet
him in Seattle, had backed out. 1t will
be remembered that Muller whipped
Burns, clever boxer in Portland re-
Gently. Muller is now ready to meet

Eugene Mulligan, 129 pounds, and
Joe Casey, 12S pounds, both members
of the Manhattan Club, were the next
brace of manly artists" introduced to
the club. They met in a four-round
bout, and Mulligan stopped Casey in
the third round.
Fred Schoenfeld and William Preece
gave a rafting exhibition of hard hit
ting and stopping. The first round
was tame, but the second was
"corker.''
Schoenfeld dropped his opponent
twice, but the receiver of jaw breakers
regained his pins each time he was
floored and fought the round out in
game fashion. The third was rather
tame but in the fourth and last round
some heavy punches were exchanged.

proved to be the gamer man and made
UP for lost ground by n grand rally

Effort.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
o02 RroadWaV Dec %

5Oo broadway, Dec. 70.
Next Sunday evening Captain Regi-
nald Carey -Brenton will be sent out as
the pioneer missionary of the Mexican
Rural Mission. The mission is one of
the most interesting religious move
ments of the times. Captain Carey
Brenton is a son of Rev. DR.. Carey of
Devonshire, England, and a grandson
of Admiral Sir Jahleel Brenton, who
was noted alike, according TO history,
for his piety and bravery. Captain
Brenton served for thirty years in the
royal navy and then, at the request of
the Mexican Government, took charge
of their fleet. Several times during his
life he had desire to become a mis-
sionary, but not until recently could he
see his way to follow his inclination.
He entered into a five years con-
tract with the Mexican Government,
and while in its service he became con-
Vinced of the great need of making
crusade against the infidelity so preva
lent in the Mexican Government. He
succeeded in arousing public interest
in Oakland and San Francisco, with
the result that the Mexican Rural
Mission was formed. Its council con-
sists of Rev. c. c. Herriott George S.
Montgomery, the rich miner and capi-
taliSt of Beulah; A. w. bennett, the
well-known restaurant proprietor and
mine-owner; A. L. Taylor and c. Tay-
lor. The intention of the mission is to
have its place Of operations including
sailors rest at Acapulco, at which
port it is said there is not at this
time a single Protestant place of wor-
ship. From this center many efforts
will be made to extend the work of the
mission along the 5000 miles of p c.fic
seaboard of Western Mexico, where, as
yet, no American or European mission
aries are stationed. The mission is
founded on the same lines as the China
inland mission, the workers of which
look daily to Providence for the neces-
sary provisions and funds to carry on
their work.
The farewell of Captain Brenton,
who will start this work in Mexico, will
be held at the auditorium of the Y. NJ.
c. A. next Sunday evening.

The exhibits, which are now at the
Board of Trade rooms on Post street,
will be moved to the new rooms in
the ferry building and many additions
Will be made. The work of packing up
the display to transfer it to the min

be begun to-day, and after the fair is
over the goods will be at once taken
to the new headquarters, and it is eX-
pected that the Board of Trade will
fall heir to a great deal of new materi-
al from the fair. Many of the articles
will be remounted and all the dried
fruits will be repacked to give them
fresher appearance. 1t is probable
also that a new department known as
the department of manufacture will
be added. This will consist of as COM
plete display of the manufactures of
California as can be obtained.
1t is proposed to secure full dis

according to their soil and climatic
conditions, keeping the Sacramento

A four-round bout to decide the ban

enthusiasm. Mclaughlin should GER
tainly have had the award on merits,

the mistress of the dog kennel, grudginGiy
allowing the mother to come II when occa-
sion required, bat never ceased to be
fiercely jealous of her. Sometimes Lola
would fly into tree andrefuseallentreates
to come down, until some one would stand
under the tree with 4 puppy in his arms,
when she would fly down at once. Unfor-
tunately, this beautiful pet developed such
habit of biting or nibbling at everything
within sight, especially wood. that Mr.
Hermann could not take her on hislast trip,
fearing that in time she might eat up the
car. He therefore placed her in Central
Park, and, curiously enough, she dropped
dead from herperch on thevery day that her
beloved master so suddenly expired.
Nearly every one is familiar with Her
manns ''Noah's Ark trick, where lie
shows the audience an empty box, and
for further verification of its emptiness
has buckets of water poured into it.
Then he begins 10 take out animals by
the wholesale. First comes a squeaiing
pig, then 4 pet gandeT, and so IN. Now,
for some reason or other, the gander
suddenly developed a strange jealously of
the pig, and every night would seize it's
poor little tail in its sharp beak, causing
it to run about the stage squealing furi-
ously, to the great amusement of the
audience. Mrs. Hermann, however, had
mush too soft heart TO let this 20 on.
and one day cleverly fitted a piece of
kid glove over piggies tail. That even
ing the gander, discovering this device,
and not willing to let the lituc beast go
scot free, caught him by the ear, and
the audience was as much amused as
ever. Tie next day Mrs. Hermann made
a red flannel cap, tying under The hin
and perfectly fitting the cans of the little
victim. When Mr.. Hermann drew him
out Of the ark that night 50 attired lie
was almost more paralyzed than the
gander, who, however, never moleSted
piggie again. All the trick animals were
as tame as possible, and seemed to
greatly enjoy tneir public appearances.

voted to one of the maids that it would
persist in following her all over the

BIRTHDAY OF THE LOCOMOTIVE

What has been regarded by some as the
birthday ofthe railway locomotive occurred
on September 2T, 1925, with Stephenson
as the father OF the event. The Stockton
4 Darlington Railway had been built, and,
through his persistent opportunities. laid
with iron, instead OF wooden rails. 1t had
been intended merely for horse draught,
but the inventor prevailed upon the owners
toallow him a trial of his steam locomotive.
Stephenson himself was the driver on
that OCCASION and before a tremendous
crowd of curious and for the most part in
credulous people, he drew train of
nearly thirty wagons, loaded with pas
sengers and coal, at speed of twelve or
fifteen miles per hour. Thus the first
train that ever carried passengers made
its journey in safety, and the enthusiasm
OF the multitude was indescribable.
But, Notwithstanding this monstraton,
the locomotive was still unmercifully ridi
cu!ed by the majority. Nor was this riui-
cule confined to the ignorant classes. The
ablest engineers contended that it was
ridiculous to suppose that steam could
ever he practically employed in compcti
