Father NJ. z. Scanlan, who gave a brief
account Of the life of the saint. and dwelt
at length on her virtues and the lesson TO
be learned from her character.
ST. Teresa was native Of Avila, a town
In Spain. She was torn in 1915. and died
in 1882, being canonized forty years after
her death. Il member of the Carueli,e
order of nuns, she was an ardent worker
for the good of humanity, and was known
as reforEler of the order to which sh. be
longed. She was the founder of the
Discalced branch of he organization.
! Though con >iderabe of a dreamer and
rather mystic person, she accom- plish ed
a great deal OF good. The principal les
son Father ScanIan found in her lie was
one on humility.

The Fair Injunction to Be
Fought Out at Once
in Court.
The Fulton Iron Works May
Take a Hand in the
Squabble.
Speoulations on the Plans of the
Bonanza King to Change the
Water Front.

The battle between the representatives
of the Fair estate and the Harbor Com
missioners over the streets in the North
Beach mud fats promises to make some
new law concerning the rights of the
owners of waterfront property, or as the
law calls them, riparian owners. 1t hap:
pens that in this instance the bonanza in
terests are opposed by very rich private
corporation as we'll as the State authori-
ties. The attorneys for the Pacific Gas
Improvement Company declare that they
Will assist the Harbor Commits sion by
every possible means, so there is pros
pect of a harvest for lawyers as well as a
prolonged litigation.
When the Harbor Board convenes this
afternoon it will decide to take Immediate
steps to secure the dissolution of the in
junction granted by Judge Slack on Satur-
day evening. The gas company can be
relied upon to lose no time in getting the
issues squarely before the courts in its
own interest. 1t is possible that the
Fulton Iron Works may take hand in
the general mix up. Like the gas COM
pany the iron works is dependent upon the
Fair estate for access to the bay. The
Fair people might at any time tax it into
their heads TO I'LL in the street leading TO
the Fulton plant, and IL is this possibilI ty
that has lead their attorneys TO think
seriously OF joining with the Harbor Com
mission ana the gas interests in a COM
mon cause against the representative OF
the dead bonanza kings estate.
Attorney E S. PilIsbury. who has
charge OF the gas company's fight, is
more radical in his views than the attor-
neys for the State. Pillsbury boldly de-
clares that the Fair estate has no right or
title TO the whole Inlet between Octavia
and Baker street, and that 1t Is posi- BILE
that the State might order ali the filing
removed. AS there are about sixty blocks
IN the tract that is being reclaimed this
would involve the expenditure of a sum
in excess of the real vaiue OF The property.
The squabble recalls the plans of Fair

Competing oarsmen never had more
appreciative and charming crowd of ladies
than those who attended the Dolphin
Swimming and Boating Club reception
yesterday.
Seated on the veranda of the pretty club
house they made a charming picture, and
their bright smiles seemed to inspire the
oa-smen with additional strength and
courage.
The Dolphins have always been fortun ate
in having pleasant day, and yesterday
was no exception. The water was calm,
except off Meiggs wharf where the
tide was running rather strong.
The first event TO be decided was the
race for the clubs diamond medal, which
was competed for by Will o. Patch and
Alex Pape. The distance to be rowed was
mne and half. with turn. Pape had
choice of position where he had advau-
tage Of the tide. Patch was away first
and was a length ahead at the start. Both
men Towed strongly until near the finish,
when Papes superior strengtd told, and
he spurled across the line about five
lengths to the gooi in the fast time of
eleven minutes, Patch crossing forty-tive
seconds later. The time is very fast, and
| is said To be a record.
Then followed high and fancy diving
exhibition, in which Joseph Bartman,
Joseph EarIs and Ed 81 ollie participated.
Their clever work received meritcd ap-
plause.
Alex Pape and William McCausland
rowed a quarter of mile exhibition race
which resulted in a dead heat.
The canoe race proved very exciting
