for the Burglars.

for the Burglars.
The Crystal Palace house furnishing
establishment of Mr.. Matthews, at the
corner of Fort and Beretania, was Wis
tied by thieves at very early hotr
yesterday morning. Mr.. Matthews was
awakened by the noise of the intruders
rummaging about and frightened two
men away. Nothing was missed. Mat
thews fooled the thieves and tells about
it with great joy. The fire fighters
across the street from the emporium
kept Matthews supplied with hearers
for several hours. The dealer had SIS
in cash. This he put in a purse and
sunk the container to the bottom of
a tub filled with water. He serves no.
tice that it will be hidden differently
next time Mr.. Matthews stated that
he had been in business too long to
allow amateur burglars in the Para
disc of the Pacific the pleasure of get
ting the best of him. He was strong
on this point and called witnesses to
establish it's correctness.

Johnson has handed in his resignation.
At the regular monthly meeting or the

the resignation was cheeriully accepted
and Dean Swift emulated in desire to
make that cheeriulness perceptlble. In
addition it had been scheduled to expel

that a constitutional amendment is neces-

There is no real trouble in the party,

Smith let up on his work to certain ex-
tent Yesterday, and is picture of health
and confidence. He punched the bag for
six three minute rounds in the afternoon,
exercised with the dumb-bells for twenty
minutes, and wound up the days work by
skipping the rope 1000 times. This is much
less than he usually. does, and when he

been carried away by the thief. This con-
sisted OF white lead. varnlsh, brushes and
fancy tinting. The manner in which the
burglar gained entrance was by smashing
the lock with monkey wrench.
This is the third time in side of two years
in which 1.-THE 1obey Sign pany" had
been the victim of burglar.
Whether the burglar that visited Tobey s
place is the same one who cleaned out the
three rooms on the same avenue during
the earlier part of the week or not the
police department Is unable to say. At
all events he or they are still at large, and
since the frequent repetition of these acts,
all within one week on tho same block,
the other storekeepers and residents have
double barred their doors and keep gas
burning in their stores and rooms during
the night.
Burglaries On this portion of Montgom-
cry avenue are nothing new, however, as
one storekeeper has had a similar ex peri
ence as Mr.. Tobey. His place was entered
three times within one year.

Smith sticks to his intention of hitting
in clinches and breakawavs and says that
as they have signed to fig under Marquis
ofQueens berry rules he will insist upon
their strict Interpretation. He evidently
thinks his best chance with Dixon will be
at close range. Dixon has not yet given
his views upon this point and it is posi-
bic that there may be a wrangle at the
rings;de over the matter.
Lawlor, who is to fight Williams as q
prelim mary to the Smith. Dixon go, is
also training at Hagerty's. and is in first
class copdition. He is said to have i'm
proved wonderfully in the past year, and
anticipates no trouble in disposing of Will
Hams in short order. He is q 10 to Z
favorite in the betting, and many students
OF the dope" book think he Is the surest
thing on tho programme.
The betting on the Dixon fight has ex-
ceeded all expectations and the poolmen
say they expect to handle more money
than on any fight since the Cor bett-Fitz-
sim mons battle. Dixon is a strong favor
ite, having gone from 10 to 9to 10 to 51l
More than $4,000 has already gone into
the pool boxes at those o ids. and there
seems 10 be an unlimited am ount of Dixon
money. The Smith men seem TO be hold
ing off in order TO force the odds TO the
lowest possible notch. At Cor belts, when
the betting closed last night, the books
showed that about $1,000 had been bet on
the Dixon fight. and $500 on the Lawler-
Williams fight. LAWYER closed 10 to 9
favorfte. "A curious feature OF the betting
is. that while Dixon man must put mp
Sl0: to win $5: so on the result, even money
can be had: that Dixon: will not win In

NO HORSE SHOW,
The Association VIII Not Hold On
This Year

The Association viii Not Hold One
This Year.
There will be no horse show here this
year. This is the determination ar
rived at by the Horse Snow Association,
after a cons sultation with the breeders and
owners of horses. The reason given is
that the latter, while protesting to be in
terested in the exhibition of their stock,
will not give any guarantee that they will
ma ke any entries. A horse show without
horses would not be calculated to attract
a great deal OF attention, and society,
which has made the SHOWS almost fad
would not lend its approval to an affair
where there were no thorough bred horses
fine equIpages and all the other etce era 5
which go to make up first-class show.
Henry. Crocker,a a member of the associa-
tion. who has been one of the most earnest
workers for the success of the horse show
in the past, believes that Horse Show
Association ought to be something more
than fad.
'It should be taken up by breeders and
owners, by carriage and harness men and
by all people who are interested in what
ought to be an important and hourshing
industry OF California" said Mr.. Crocker.
ut is a thoroughly American institution
and puts money In circulation and should
be fostered.
Mr.. Crocker stated that he would stand
by and support the horse show as local
Institution.
