The San Francisco call., 1898-03-10

The picture conjured up by the poster proved so alluring that the stranger could not resist its enchantment, so go- ing up to the ticket window he said to the rather wearied bit of feminity that looked out at him:
 'Is this the place to purchase tickets?"
 Sure" replied the jaded bit "Whatcher suppose I'm here for?"
 The stranger did not attempt to re- ply to the question, but, retiring within himself, produced half a dollar and, catching the two tickets that were thrown at him, went inside with his friend Fatty.
 Passing the door he found himself in an immense hall, once the floor of the old Morosco theater, with a stage at one end and a gallery running along either side with seats upon 1t and chairs and tables under it on the main floor.
 On the stage a brass band of six pieces discoursed popular tunes of the New Bully variety; on the floor near ly three hundred men, women and chill dren raced around on skates, and un- der the galleries young men and girls drank, smoked, shot craps, made love and fought, only pausing long enough to drain small tumblers of whisky or long schooners of steam" that a hard looking waiter, with an ingrowing face, brought to them from the sloppy bar at the front of the hall
 As the stranger took a seat with his guide at one side of the hall and looked at the throng on the floor and around the tables there were three things that impressed themselves upon him. First the unmistakable toughness of the crowd as a whole, secondly the unmis- takable evidences of viciousness and dissipation on the faces of the women. which contrasted oddly with the com- parative. honesty of the countenances of their escorts, and thirdly the ex- treme youth of some of the girls, many of whom were mere children, who could not possibly have been over 12 or 13 years of age.
 Fatty seemed to be we'll known to every one in the hall, and, as the skat- CTS would roll by. he would be greeted with Flows de fat?" Hello foice" ''Where's yer loidy?" "Aint yer goin' ter spiel?" Who's de mug wid yer?''

etc., while his more intimate acquaint- ances would stop for minute, and af- ter "trowin' him de glad han" would indulge in badinage that would not look well in print.
 To one of these latter Fatty" con- fided the fact that Der stroinger wid i'm wuz CT bloke frum Moo York. wid his jeans full uf dough an CT achin' ter be blowed. Cud Spider get CT loidy?"
 Spider "cud' and departed, returning in a few moments with a little thing who claimed to be 14, but who did not look to be more than 12. She was pretty as a peach, with full, 1.-the fig ure, surmounted by a dimp1ed, oval face, on which the delicate bloom of young girlhood still fingered
 This was the miss who was to do the "blowing," or, in other words, to exer- else on the stranger the witchery of her charms and relieve him of his dough-
 Her gentleman 'frien'" was pre- scented as Spike" Casey and immedi- ately introduced the child as "Flo de Skate" Flo didsher best to fulfill her part of the contract, and if she failed it was owing to the interference of other interested parties who would persist in drifting up and invite the stranger to slide out on de floor an shake de kid who wuZ only CT guyin him an was no good" This belittling of his loidy so irritated the placid Spike that he finally remonstrated with a party known as Der Goat, with the result that they both were helped to the sidewalk without the ne- cessity of treading on the stairs.
 Dancing by this time was under full swing. the skaters keeping time to two accordions, a banjo and piano that had supplanted the brass band The reason of the change was explained by Mag de Rag in a few words. Cans ain't no good 'cept ter chase de duck wid but der'es lots uf musik in Ter 'cordien."
 Things began to get rather warm and when three gentlemen. getting into an argument, rolled down the stairs in a bunch with one of the trio demand ing that another take his teeth out of his ear, the stranger thought it was time to go. So declining numerous in vitations to take Ter wad'' he took his departure and left

"HE stranger from the interior
 was standing in front of his hotel
 smoking his after-dinner cigar,
 when he was approached by his
 old friend, Fatty Blodes, who. leaning up against one of the pillars of the doorway, stuck his hands in the Waistband of his trousers and said: Say, if yer want ter see de toughest dance in town, float along with me dis evenin an I'll take yer to der Howard street skating rink, where all de chips is turned out
 The stranger, wishing to see the sights of this municipality to the limit. accepted the hospitable invitation so sincerely delivered, and, stuffing a large sized gun in his hip pocket, and taking a heavy walking stick in his hand, started off with his three-hun- dred-pound guide leading the way.
 Their path led them through a quart CT of the city seldom visited by the curious tourists or the sensation-hunt- ing. blase scion of the wealthy class. It took them down along Third street past cheap groggeries and gaudy res taurants, second class boot and shoe stores, squalid and dirty lodging horses, the haunts of freaks and dope fiends, and finally landed them in front of the wide entrance of rather pre- tentious-l looking hall on Howard street, which was once known as Morosco's, and brought back to the stranger visions and half-forgotten memories of a somewhat rapid youth,
 On each side of the entrance was a huge white poster, which informed the passer-by that upstairs was Lybeok s Cycle Skating Rink, where those ad- dicted to that pastime could be grat1- fled at any hour of the afternoon or evening until 10 o'clock, when the amusement would be diversified by dancing until the witchin" hour of midnight It further acquainted him with the fact that all of these delights could be indulged in for the modest sum of 25 cents, and that a lady was wait ing just inside the door to take his money and oblige him with ticket

DOGS OF HIGH DEGREE.
Greyhounds That Will Surprise the flares at Union Coursing Park
 on Saturday.

The Interstate Coursng Club, J. F. Halton president, anticipates having great days sport on Saturday at the Union Coursing Park, as number of hares selected from a shipment which was received a few days ago will be lib- erated from the racing paddock on Sat urday and Sunday
 MT. Bull, the judge, is very desirous that the courses shall be of sufficient length to satisfy the owners of the dogs and the spectators that a fair trial will prove beyond question the superiority of the contesting greyhounds. With this object in view the managers of the park are selecting from the stock of hares on hand the strongest of the short-tail fly CTS; therefore it is expected that the courses of Saturday and Sunday will be of especial interest to .eushmen who de- light to witness long and well contested courses.
 There were fffty-eight dogs entered last evening for the all-aged stake which will be run on Saturday and Sunday. and the draw last evening resulted as follows

system throughout the country were re-
Gently gladdened by the news that the
Delaware legislature, just before its ad-
5ournment, had passed a bill which
practically Undid the reform, so far as
1t had been carried in that state, and
would allow the political machines to
resume their old control over the print-
ing and distribution of the tickets.
But Delaware has a new constitution
now, under which the signature of the
governor is necessary to validate any
measure left in his hands upon the ad-
5ournment of the lawmakers, and it
has also a governor who recognizes his
responsibility as q part of the law
making power. Governor Tunnel has
announced that the Objectionable bill
''is in the mOrgue,' and the attempt to
overthrow the secret ballot has thus
failed.

OUR NEW NATIONAL AIR.
"a Hot Time" Set the Crowd Wild at
Garfield Park

Marshalrs band had to hang out the
IS. R. o. sign early last evening. that
is unless the crowd was contented to
sit on the grass for there was not a
seat, box or stump to be had, all were
taken
Between five and six thousand people
enjoyed themselves by alternately
listening to the band, shooting fire.
crackers, revolvers, and in fact any
thing that would explode. Everywhere
could be heard firing. On the shore of
Soldier creek the bombardment or the
passing boats was terrific. In front of
the band stand it sounded as if a troop
OF rough riders was trying to dlSlodge
the band from its stronghold. over on
the left OF the crowd were bombs burst-
ing in air This was all patriotic enough
but suddenly the band broke into "A
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
Director ]. B. Marshall had given or
ders that piano marks should not be
noticed and "A Hot Time" sounding
loud and clear above the din, attracted
the attention of eevry one. For mo-
ment there was a lull. 1t was for only
moment and then pandemonium turned
loose.
The fact was the sound of "a Hot
Time" was the same as taking the
cover off. Anyone who had the i'm
preston that the strange, weird piece
had lost its flavor or usefulness knows
now that he was mistaken. The din
was terrific. It had been loud enough
before but it was so muc-- Ter that
press dispatches from Cuba say heavy
cannonading heard on the coasts of the
u. S" Each time the uand reached the
swelling strains of the chorus the en-
thusiasm of the crowd went skyward
another degree. Somebody cried Rah
for Sampson" and then there was
war dance around the band stand. It's
plain for every one to see, "A Hot
Time" is here to stay 1t is one OF our
patriotic national airs; it's our battle
song. 1t stirred the crowd at Garfield
park the same as it stirred the loyal
blood of the soldiers in front of San
tiago.
Marshal1's band gave a concert yes
terday morning, another in the after
noon a balloon ascension at five o'clock

of Commodore Dewey in colors.
