A varied and interesting program was
presented at the Woman's club OF Ere
mont last Saturday, Mrs. j. F. Reynolds
presiding.
Mrs. Wolcott's parliamentary practice
was of great value to the club, and very
clearly explained.

Brownies, Mre. Thad Quinn gave a de-
lightful description Of those mysterious

Josiah Aliens Wife, and her esper

described by Mrs. Human, were
source of great amusement to the club.

to kindergarten WORK, and the parents Of
children taking part, are cordially in

Lincoln already possesses strong club
which practically includes all the must

failure.

open. We cannot all be executive must

WILL WEED OUT DEPUTIES. Fish Commissioners to Overhaul Their Force of Subordinates.

At a meeting of the California Fish and Game Commission yesterday there was a step taken that may have the effect of rattling some of the dry bones among the subordinates' of that body. Scattered along the entire length of the State are about 200 deputy commissioners, who are supposed to be of some use to the office They are all provided with badges and commissions which give them the same powers as those possessed by a sheriff s deputies. With but few exceptions these deputies have not been heard from since they received their badges and credentials What use they make of their authority is more than the commissioners can make out Of course there are exceptions to this rule. but taken as Q whole not over 10 per cent of the crew have been of the least service to the State office.
 During the discussion at the meeting 1t was shown that the men in question had been appointed upon the recommendation of the Superior Judges and the Game Wardens of their respective counties and in some instances on the request of sportsmen's clubs Commissioner Vogel-

BICYCLISTS ARE
 NOW JUBILANT
Golden Gate Park Will Glitter With Electricity at
 Night.
Liqhts to Be Placed on the Main DriVeways and Bicycle
 Paths.

Rfcvcle enthusiasts have at last gained a long-looked-for point and are, in con- sequence, elated over their victory. With in two months the bicycle track as well as the driveway throughout the main portions of Golden Gate Park will be lighted by electricity from o'clock in the evening until midnight. Those who still rely on driving for pleasure will, un- der the natural course of events, fall in for a portion of the enjoyment which the new departure will, without doubt. afford.
 For months past petition after petition has presented itself for the purpose of having the park more thoroughly lighted during the moonleSs nights, especially on the main driveways and the bicycle paths, and now that the material Is on the ground, those who were the most anxious for the much-needed improvement can hardly believe that they have gained a point which will be a benefit to all who visit the park during the evening.
 The wires for the lights will be placed underground and the boxes which will carry them will be taken to the park on Monday when work will begin on the trenches. The wires will start from the Baker-street entrance and extend to Twenty-fourth avenue, and then back again to the starting point by way of the pumping station and the children's play ground. Five miles of wire will be used in the construction of the system. and il is hoped the work will be completed in about two months. The lights will be placed from 400 to 600 feet apart depend ing on the location. In some portions oi the path more lights will be needed thar in others, as the curves would prevent the light from entering all points, but the difficulty has been overcome by those who will lay the wires.
 A power plant has been erected in con- nection with the pumping station, and all the boilers, motors and other neces- sary machinery have been put in place MT McLaren, superintendent of the park is of the opinion the new move will be of great benefit to the park, as 1t will tend to draw large numbers there during the evening. The only ones who will, without doubt, object to more light being thrown on their affairs are those who are unable to ride, drive wheel during the pleas ant evenings.

Gold Scratch Won the Two Year Old Event at Long Odds-Ostler Joe
 First in the Handlcap.

Fog was again strong factor at h. eleside yesterday. One event only was decided with the spectators enjoying an unobstructed view of the horses. The favorites met with three reverses, and it is more than likely that in one race at least there were some big do- ings" Tod Sloan piloted three and Charley Thorpe two winners.
 The opening mile run for maidens was only a gallop for Twinkle Twink, which ran in Don Cameron's colors and won eased up to a walk, after going to the post a 4 to choice in the betting In a drive Durward took the place from Whirlwind.
 Johnny Campbell finally started the speedy Punter in the six fur- long selling dash that followed, and the wise ones grabbed the even money that was offered about the lilly. It took all of Tod Sloan skill in the saddle to land her winner, a head before the second choice, Prompto Moringa, as usual, finished in the show
 The stable, it was said, did not play Gold Scratch to win the four furlong scramble for year-olds At any rate, the gray youngster got the best of a struggling start, and at odds of F to 1 finished over lenStn III front of Primavera, the second choice. Ach, the Corrigan entry, an II to 10 favorite, was beaten for the show by Mossbrae.
 Fog undoubtedly proved a strong factor in the victory of Refugee. In the betting on the mile selling event Willie Sinks cripple opened at odds of to l. His price heightened until 20 was reached, when he was played down to and TO- lie won by less than a length from the favorite. Key del was evidently a "shoo in," as two or three of the horses which finished be- hind him are capable of running a much faster mile Of the other start CTS Fashion Plate was probably the only one that was not a lobster and she was dead last time out It was passed over like many of the other dis graceful seances of the present racing season.

 The black horse, Ostler Joe, was fa- vorite for the mile and a sixteenth handicap. which, like most of the others at this track. was a pronounced frost, and he scored without difficulty from Glorian, at one time as good as 20 to in the betting. The second choice, Greyhurst, quit like dog, ending up in the far rear.
