Soldiers Tournament for

League.
Picturesque Entertainment by
the Preside Boys for
Patriotism.
Nearly Ten Thousand Persons Wit
messed the Interesting
Events.

Yesterday was gem of days set in the
crown of such an Indian summer as only
San Francisco knows, and nearly 10000
people at the Preside reveled in its beauty.
Overhead sky of unsullied turquoise, be-
fore them the bay OF deeper blue, upon
whose placid surface gently foated the
white wings of the fleet of yachts celebrat-
ing by regatta the admission of Califor-
MIA into the Union. Beyond reposed the
bare, brown hills of Sausalito and of
Tiburon, in pleasing contrast with the
soft blue shades of stately Tamalpais.
The great crowd of pleasure-seekers were
there 10 help along the cause of the Lin
coin Monument League. for whose bene-
fit the boys in blue had volunteered to
give one of their picturesque and unique
entertainments.
At times the field was an almost confus-
ing whirl of scarlet and crimson plumes
and banners and galloping horses of gray
and black and brown. and cannons ana
gun carriages that made the earth trem be
as they rum bled over the hard ground.
The San Francisco call., 1897-09-10

performed with automatic regularity ana
precision. The sklllful manner in which
the well-trained horses were driven at
full speed and whired around sharp cor
ners awoke the enthusiasm OF the spec.
tators, and they cheered and cheered
again.
There was much of the old-time ro-
nance and a dash of the cowboy element
in the rescue race. The play represented
the manner in which an unhorsed cavalry
man can be carried away out OF danger
by his more fortunate comrades, and Is
very useful exercise, especially In hghung
Indians. Six soldiers force their horses to
lie down on the ground, and they them
selves sheltered behind the bodies OF their
reCumben. steeds fire with their carbines
at the enemy.
A hundred wards away six mounted
soldiers witness the plight OF their COM
rades, and whipping their revolvers from
their belts dash to the rescue hrlng their
weapons al the imaginary foe. The un-
horsed cavairymen are on their feet In an
instant and each while on the dead run
Then thev dash away like the wind.
About 5000 people paid the admission
fee, ranging from 25 cents TO 81 so, while
about 5000 witnessed the games from the
outside.
A brush fire which started while the
soldiers were at lunch afforded the visitors
an opportunity of witnessing how soldle rs
can put out fire. The bugles sounded an
alarm, and like swarms of bees from their
hives, the soldiers issued from the canteen
and the barracks, and in surprisingly
orderly way went to work and extin-
guished the flames.
The officials of the day were:
Manager-First Lieutenant Leon S. Roudiez,
quartermaster Firs Infantry.
Assistant manager-Second Lieutenant Dem
mis- E. Nolan, First Infantry.

AN INCIDENT OF REALITY Military
Was Somdd the Pvsdio

The air thrilled with the stirring notes OF
the bugle, and when the long, slim field
pieces belched forth white clouds and
flames and flying horsemen snatched the
pieces away to spit imaginary pellets of
iron at an ina ginary foe In another. part
of the field the crowd In the grand stand
and several thousand others who were
witnessing the spectacle on the outskirts
without money and without price gave
cheer after cheer OF appreciation.
The soldier boys did not do any orna-
mental work. Every event on the card
was one OF utility in the vicissitudeS of
war. withstanding the prevalent i'm
preston that the science OF doing battle
and numbering by governmental permis-
sion has evoluted into a mere matter of
machinery, requiring human beings only
for the purpose of pulling a lever here
and working derrick there, it was ap-
parent from the exercises yesterday that
muscle. nerve and gameness are qualities
As indispensable now as they were in the
heroic days before cowardly and villain
Gus gunpowder was invented.
There was footracing, for it is necessary
that soldier should be fleet of foot both
in running away from and pursuing the
enemv. 1t is also necessary that he
should be able to scale a wall and vault
over a fence as we'll as to dig a trench with
his bayonet to shield him from the bull
lets of the foe. All these things and more
were exemplified at the tournament, and
they we're done bv the Presidio soldiers
with the skill of ira ned acrobats.
The most picturesque and warlike event
of the day was the grand display drill bv

under command OF Lieutenant Co onel
Edward B. Williston. The men as well
as the officers were in full uniform, and
the full force of field pieces were on the

DRAMATIST THOMAS HERE
Author OF Alabama" Comes to See
His " Don't Tell Her Husband

Augustus Thomas of New York, dramat-
ist and author OF between forty and fifty
plays, including Alabama" s'In Miz.
zoura" and New Blood" arrived here
last nieht from the East on his first visit
to the Pacific Coast.
He has come here to see one of his lat
est plays-"Don't Tell Her Husbandn-
rehearsed and staged by the Frawley Com
pany. He will probably remain in this
City three weeks for this purpose.
Referring 10 his play to be produced at
the Columbia, Mr.. Thomas, when seen at
the Bald win Hotel, said
1T is light comedy of the higher tone
that is, it deals in insinuations rather tha ~
in plain statement. The name Is not Of
my choosing. 1t was given the play bv
Charles trohman, who has some interests 8
in 1T. The title, 1t seems to me- is rather
brutal in its suggestion. However I
shall not change the name.
"The original name of plays are often
changed by theatrical managers, For in
stance, when wrote In Mizzoura' I calIao
it In Pike County,
This new play Mr.. Frohman could not
use very well, as it called for too mucb
from one star performer. When he sug
gested the Frawley Company wished

pany one OF the best stock companies in
America, and so it is rated in the East.
Recently L have written Tue Capital,

AT GOLDEN GATE PARK.

A Number OF Pleasure Seekers Spend
Admission Day There.
The ocean front anu Golden Gate Park
were favorite places yesterday tor the
people who could not leave the City to
celebrate Admission day.
The San Francisco call., 1897-09-10

The festivities at Ell Campo and Santa
Rosa took large number out of town, so
the crowd at the park was not as large as
it is generally on Sunday, but the attend
ance was four or five times as large as it Is
ordinarily on week davs. Extra cars were
run on the lines leading to the park and
several thousand pleasure seekers spent
the rather warm day in the shade of the
trees.
Bicyclists were out in force and many
handsome traps were seen during the day.
The attendance a the m useum was large.
As additions are constantly being made
his isbecoming one OF the chief points
OF interest at the park. The flock of black
swans recently received are attracting con-
siderable attention.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Oficials
here are still awaiting advices from
Florida which will justify them in
ordering federal troops to Key West
to preserve life and good order there.
No advices were received up to IL
o'clock. The threatened race war
seems to have subsidized somewhat.
The republican members of the fin
ance committee this morning, in ac-
cordance with the caucus decision,
placed a duty on hides at 20 per cent
I'D valorem. Rates on chemical sche-
dule were also agreed upon at today's
meeting.
On the authority of the acting chap
lain of the senate in prayer this MORN
ing, there are signs of returning pros
perity and the long aud widespread
period of depression is passing.
Today's session of the senate began
with the roll call. Only senators
were present and the sergeant-at-arms
was ordered to request the attendance
of the absentees.
When a quorum was finally obtain
ed, in the senate Harris, of Kansas, re-
ported resolution for the government
paying off the liens on the Union Paci-
fic railroad. Morgan Recommended
the report and spoke elaborately, but
yielded to Allison and the tariff bill at
noon. The sugar question came up
and called out heated debate.
