finishes of the week was witnessed. b.

in the little bronco out of him, and he
landed winner in 2. 10 IA. This race had
extended over several days, beginning

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance Of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup Of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence Of it's remedy. It is

The last race of the afternoon, which
came over unfinished was the 2.16 pace,
which proved to be an exciting and holly
contested one. There were eleven starters
and all pretty good ones. Marjorie drew
the pole and she held it most of the mile,
but E. E. Knott the chestnut gelding
from Vermont, beat her out under the
wire in an exciting finish. e. e. Knott
won the second heat as we'll, but in the

won the heat handily.
In the next heat another winner doomed

RIvERTON PARK.

The best Of order always prevails at

large the crowd is it is always an orderly
one. This is one of the features of the
park that strikes the visitor with the
most force. The ladies' orchestra has
been drawing card this summer. Mrs.
Nichols does not realize how many Port
land friends she has made during this
summer. 1t is no uncommon thing for
people to speak of her almost as close
friend, who really has never passed word
with her. During the present week very
successful entertainment has been given
by a superior vaudeville company. The
company comprises some Of the best act

THE GEM.
When the captain says all aboard for
Peaks island and the Gem theatre see
that you are among the number of happy
people that have that place in view. There
is no place or excursion that will give
you greater pleasure for little money
than this trip. The sail over the CLASSY
surface of the harbor is alone well worth
the price of the ticket and the perform
ance is one that would cost at least ST. SO
in any of the large cities. Here you see
the same company for the popular price
of admission. The great drama of the
Iron Master is pleasing thousands of peo-
pie this week and it will probably never
be played again. We can only say don't
miss it. Last night the theatre was
literally packed with an audience that
went into raptures over the performance.
The sale of seats for the rest of the
week is very large which indicates that
there will be fine audiences at every per-
formance.

BOY DROWNED IN THE
 BAY NEAR FL CAMPO
EDWARD BOYLE WAS TAKEN
 WITH CRAMPS.
He Was Trying to Swim Behind Boat in Which Were His Brother and Two Lit
 tie Friends.

Edward Boyle, the 15-year-old son of J. J. Boyle, a clerk in the license office, was drowned near Fl Campo yesterday afternoon while trying to swim in the bay. The accident happened about 2 O clock, just before ebb tide, and as it is at place where the water is at least fifty feet deep it is doubtful whether the body will be recovered.
 The boy left home with his younger brother Herbert early in the morning for a days outing at Fl Campo. Shortly after lunch the two Boyle boys with Tom Jewett and Charles Ryerson, of the same age as Edward hired a boat for a row on the bay. They rowed some little dis tance above Fl Campo, and Edward, who could not swim, but was trying to learn, took off his clothes and let himself into the water holding on to the stern of the boat. At the request of his playmates he drew himself back into the boat after pIaying Tn the water a while, but subse- quenty Jumped out of the boat again against the desire of his companions In some manner he lost his hold on the Doat, and the boys were apprised of the fact by his screams for help. They tried To row 10 him, and, seeing they would be unable to do so, they threw him the oars. ! ne drowning boy managed to grasp one or these, but 1t went down with him. The cries Of the boys attracted people to the peach, but they were unable to rescue the lad.
 A neighbor of Mir. Boyle took the sur NlVing brother to the home of his uncle, T. F. Boyle, who notified the parents at their home, 2Ol1 Vallejo street. Herbert, who was compelled to watch his brother drown, while pOwerleSS to aid him, thinks that Edward must have been taken with cramps, which made him lose his hold on the boat. The accident happened just op- posite the old powder-house above the picnic grounds.

Young Men for the Hour.

Dr. James A. B. Wilson of the Howard street Methodist Church who has lately been transferred from Los Angeles, where he spent three years, has by his earnest ness and stirring sermons and lectures added many members to his church. In physique and manner of discourse he re- minds one of the late Dr. Cox of the same denomination. In his lecture last night he spoke on the Young Men for the Hour" taking his text from: Prob. xyi:32, "E1e that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that takes a city" He said in part:
 The hour reveals a marvellous change of conditions over former period. We as a nation are becoming urban rather than ru- ral Thus In 1920 we had but six cities of 5000 inhabitants or over, but have 493 with 30 per cent of population in cities and in twenty-five years at the rate of increase now being made, the cities will have 10 GOO 0OO majority In the whole country. Our cities are the worst governed of any in the civilized world The worst class of our population dom- mates the politics of our municipal life.
 There is before us the absolute overthrow of our institutions and the utter subversion of the moral life of the nation.
 This is young mans problem. My gen.. eration will have nothing to do with Its lution The preparation for this new patriot ism must be strength, intelligence morality. discipline and religion He is not prepared to deal with the monotonous question of citizen ship who does not accept the highest ideal of the universe as his standard
