GYMKHANA RACES
South Side Cycling Club Wins the
Prizes

The departure Of the queen from the
jousts at o'clock was the signal for
the departure of most Of the spectators.
By the time the gymhanka races on
the program were reached there were
few people other than the ubiquitous
small boys and youths left to witness
them. A strict regard for truth COM
pels the admission that they were not
very thrilling nor very funny.
In the one-yard potato race. with
standing start, there were five riders.
Potatoes were placed ten yards apart,
and each rider held a basket. As they
rode each one jumped off from his
wheel, picked up a potato and hoped
on again, and 80 to the end. A. d.
Tompkins reached the stake with the
most potatoes and won a box Of cigars.
Pearn, second, received table lamp.
The second race was with Japanese
parasols, there being eight riders. Each
man opened and closed his parasol as
he rode, but four of the contestants
soon dropped out. Pearn came in first
| in this race and was awarded new
straw hat, and Tompkins, second. won
| a necktie.
In the fifty-yard blind race there were
| five riders. They reached the goal with.
out accident, A. l.. Caldwell aheads
winning a box of cigars.
In the backward race, each man sit.
| ting reversed on the wheel, Pearn won
out first and Caldwell second.
| This exhausted the prizes ana closed
the gymhanga entertainment. All the
riders participating in this contest were
members of the South Side Cycling
! club.
/ In very few moments after the races
were over the queens throne was dis
mantled. the flags and seats came down
| like an old-fashioned circus. and the

CURED LOVE WITH
AN UMBRELLA
Exciting Scene at the West
End of Washington
Street.
Mrs, Doyle Attacks Mrs. Flo.
renee Shafer, Her Sons
Sweetheart.
A Warrant Sworn Out for the Arrest
of Mrs. Doyle on the Charge
of Battery.

That the course of true love never runs
smooth has once more been exempliIied
in the case of Mrs. Florence Shafer, a
handsome young woman living at 307
Turk street.
Mrs. Shafer has been wooed for some
time by young man named Doyle, who
lived with his mother at 3017 Washington
street. Mrs. Doyle does not approve of
meet clandestinely.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Shafer was anx-
ious to see Doyle and she sent messea-
ger with note to him, telling him that
she would be waiting for him on Wash
ington street, between Baker and Brod-
erick. and that she had something of i'm
portance TO talk 10 him about.
AS the sequel proved Doyle did not get
the note as he was out of the house at the
time. Mrs. Doyle got it and being curl
Gus to know who had sent 1t she opened it
and the contents reused her anger.
Mrs. Shafer was walking leisuIely be.
tween Baker and Broderick streets at the
appointed hour when she was suddenly
confronted by Mrs. Doyle, who had a
heavy um brella in her right hand. She
accused Mrs. Shafer of trying to steal her
son from her and after giving vent to her
angry passions she struck Mrs. Shafer on
the head and body with the um brella,
emphasizing each blow with remark
that added bitterness to the inj ured lady 8
feelings.
The attack was so unsuspected that Mrs.
Shafer was bewildered for a minute or two
and then she did the only sensible thing
in the circumstances, took to her heels
and ran as fast as she could, leaving Mrs.
Doyle in undisputed possession of the
field
A crowd had quickly gathered anc to
them Mrs. Doyle told her grievance as she
pointed to the fleeing figure of her woulo-
be daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Shafer, still chating under the cas-
tigation she had received, made her ap-
pearance in Judge Joachimson's court
yesterday and asked for warrant for Mrs.
DoyIe's arrest on the charge of battery.
After relating the circumstances TO war
rant clerk Drury she said: ~ don't in
tend that Mrs Doyle shall go unpunished.

right to insult me by beating me with an
um brella on the public street. She ruined
my hat, which cost me $14, and l shall bear
the marks of the blows on my back and
shoulders for some time to come"
There was no mistaking Mrs. Shafer' 5
attitude. The angry tears we're in her
eyes as sho spoke of the umbrella attack,

BOYLE'S MURDER TRIAL.
Taking of Testimony Begun in Judg

Taking of Testimony Begun in Jud &c
Wallace's Court Yesterday.
Martin Boyle, who killed Michael Lynch
in this City on the 25th of October, is or
trial for murder i'll Judge Waliace's court
The following-named citizens were &C.
cepted as jurors: Charles T. Dennis, J. G.
Cullen, J. P. Fannery, Horace B. Angel,
G. Bettman, l.. t. House, John J. Murphy,
John Bennett, William A. Hewitt
Matthew Culligan, William ]. Smith, John
B. Rider.
The testimony showed that Boyle and
Lynch had O quarrel, and it is claim ed
that Boyle hit Lynch on the head with a
pair OF scissors. Lynch was taken to the
Receiving Hos spital, where the attending
physicians said they could not see any
thing the matter with MIN, so he walked
home, near the corner of Vallejo anu
kearny streets.
Lynch. worked in tannery four days
after that, and on the fifth day suffered
from stroke of paralysis. He was re-
moved to the County Hospital and soon
afterward died. The theory OF the prose
cution, represented by Deputy District
Attorney A. P. Black, is that the stroke
on the head administered by Boyle caused
Lynch's death. On the other hand,
Attorneys Cook and Sweeney, who speak
for the defense, contend that Lynch's
death was the result of natural causes.
Further testimony will be taken to-day.
The case attracts great deal of attention,
and the courtroom is crowded with people
from North Beach and vicinity.

HONORING HIS MEMORY.
he Friends of Rev. NJ. f. Colburn
Will Erect a Monument Over
His Remains

The members of Grace Methodist Epis-
copal Church at Twenly-frst and Capp
streets, of which the Rev. NJ. F. Colburn
was the late minister, have under consid-
GRAFTON the erection of a monument in
Cypress Lawn Cemetery to his memory.
That the members OF this church thought
well of their late preacher who had min
istered to their spiritual wants for the
short period of one year prior TO his death
which occurred on The 22d of last Saptem-
ber is made manifest by this act.
At meeting of some of the leading
members of Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, among whom were J. j. North,
his Son S. d. North, Fl. L. Sncok, I. o.
Lewis and +. L. Turpin, it was decided TO
place granite monument over the re-
mains of their late preacher. In order
that all might be given an opportunity to
contribute 1t was decided to open a sub
scription list, limiting the amount given
by each subscriber to 81 and no more.
1t is desired TO give not only the men,
bers of Grace Church an opportunity of
testifying to their devotion TO his mem
ory, but also the members of the congre-
cations at San Diego. Riverside and Oak
land, where he had labored prior to his
coming to this City.
The intention of his friends in the Mis-
sion TO mark his last resting place by a
suitable monument was com mmunicated to
the officers of those churches, and the
answers received gave assurance that sub
scriptions would be taken up at those sew
eral places and the amounts forwarded to
this City.

Christian Pastors Express Some New

Prize-fghting and bicycle-racing on Sun
day both rece ived the attention of minis

pastors spoke their minds in no uncertain
terms respecting the coming fight in
Nevada, and the Presbyterian Ministerial
Union embodied its disgust at the seton
of the California delegates, who recently
upheld Sunday racing. in series of reso-
lutions indorsing the action of the League
of American Wheelmen in forbidding
Sunday racing, and declaring that the
pulpit of California had ever been against
the proclamation OF the Sabbath, and would
not in the future relax any of its efforts to
make Sunday racing violation of the law.
