SWIMMING RECORD
II. F. BREWER SETS 4 GREAT
 QUARTERLY MILE PACE.
Was Disabled for the Half Mile Con- test, but Expects to Do More Time-Smashing To-Day.
 The Results.

The admirers of aquatic sports who did not attend the swimming contests at the Lurline Baths yesterday afternoon missed the best battles in this line that have been witnessed in this city for a long time, Tho Lurline Swimming Club car Tied or nearly all the houors and they declare that they would have taken all if it had not been for the disability of their best man. Brewer
 One of the unexpected results of the games was the smashing of the American record in the 4i0-yard race by II. r. Brewer of the Lurlnes. who covered the distance in G.f0 minutes. as against his former nace of G.23 2-5- Brewer took his record with a magnlGcent busst 5f spesd that was well maintained throughout tho distance. His showing ra,s hs-n MAI .n the way to take the worlds record. E. B. Stolle was second: time. 6:S2 1-5
 In the 50-yard maiden II. H. Wiedeman of the Lurlines won in 2914 secs, being within quarter second of the America n record held by Dan Renear of Chicago. G. A. Hinkel of the Lurlines was second.
 The 75-yard maiden was taken by Wiedeman in 42 secs. fiat, G. A. Hinkel second.
 The half mile contest was not satisfac- tory by reason of the fact that Brewer was unable to take part after his violent exertions in the other races and while he was resting he was examined by his physician and advised not to enter as any further competition at that time might lead to serious heart troubles.
 The result of the race was victory for the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club. E. B. Stolle taking first in 1853, as against 14:17, his old record. J. E. Odgers of the LurlineS was a bad second.
 A polo game which followed the races was won by Captain Pomins' team, and there was an exhibition of high diving by Professor Cobleyn, who dove from a height of go feet. Some fast and fancy swimming was done by Professor Goetze and R. Gardell, the mascot of the Lurline Club, did some clever clown diving.
 This afternoon there will be another race meet. The events will include 100 yards, 220 yards and one mile. Brewer will contest and try to make some new recoIus.
 These races are proving highly interest ing and by reason of the brilliant work of yesterday will attract the attention of that numerous class throughout the world who take an interest in such amateur contests. The Luline orchestra furnished acceptable music during the games.

THE oARsMEN FURNISH SOME
 GOOD SPORT.
The Alameda Crew, in Their New Boat, Win the Senior
 Barge Race.

For some time past the Independence day rowing and sculline events have at tracted little attention. and the racing as been of mediocre character. But yester- day at Long Bridge really good sport was afforded sy the skin and barge races held under the auspices Of the regatta commit tee Of the Pacific Athletic Association
 The committee, which Is made up of five members. one from each of the five leading rowing clubs on the bay, had ar ranged four rares-iuuior and senior out rlesed skiffs and junior and senior barges. The races were not quite punctual in be- ginning. but once begun were brought off in good time.
 For the junior outraged skin race which opened the programme. there were six entries. two each from the Alamedas and Pioneers and one eagh from the the mCda men. not having any skin tu pull ln. retired. as did also F.

Howe got the inside station and the best of the start, but on the way out to the stake broke his oarlock and retired. Coney Ochs won easily by six lengths in
 The second event was the junior barge race for which all the five clubs had en- tered crews. The contestants narrowed down to three, the Dolphins the South Ends and the Ariels. The center station was allotted to the Dolphins. the inside to the Ariels and the outside to the South Ends. The South Ends got the worst of the start and fell behind. the Ariels and Dolphins rounded the stakes together, the Dolphins winning an excellent race by two lengths. Time, g min.
 The following were the crews:

They had tried to row over from Alameda ln her. but she shipped so much water that they were compelled 10 put back. and bring her over on the Creek boat.

A SHIPS HARD LUCK
Made a Long Voyage and Lost Her Charter-Wa
 Front Notes

Overdue and reinsurance paid by the underwriters and loss of charter through failure to reach port in time is the hard luck story of Captain Evans of the British ship Penrhyn Castle
 The vessel left Newcastle, N. S. w, over four months ago with a cargo of coal for San Francisco. After discharging here she was chartered to proceed to Portland to load wheat for Europe The charter party expired on the 1st inst. and the vessel only reached Astoria yesterday.
 The Penrhyn Castle reached here on June 16 and had taken so long to come from Australia that 10 per cent reinsur- ance was paid on her That left a fort, get her into the Columbia river. The cargo was got out in a week and on June Wizard. Everybody thought that the yes sel would get to her destination in ample time. but the fateS were against her. as the towboat broke down and Captain Ev- ans had to proceed under sail. The Pen rhyn Castle reached her destination two days too late and nothing as yet has been raft that was coming down in tow of the tugs Monarch and Rescue was seen off Crescent City by the. steamer Umatilla only one tug had hold of it. It was thought that the other one had gone into Crescent City for coal, but it may now turn out that she sighted the disabled Wizard and went to her assistance.
 Second Mate Mccarthy of the ship Ia coma. who tried to kill Officer Dillon of the Harbor Police and got shot in the legs for his pains, was taken to the Gen. tral police station yesterday. Some time ago Mccarthy was arrested on almost a similar charge by Officer George Lake He went into his room In the Brooklyn Hotel on East street and began firing of his revolver. He shot through the door. the walls. ceiling and floor and drove ev- erybody in the house out on the sidewalk When arraigned in court he told the Judge he though he was fighting the Spaniards and his honor let him go.
 Early yesterday morning he got another lighting iag' on, and he proceeded to perforate the front of the Brooklyn Hotel this firne because the landlord would not give him any more liquor. Officers Dillon and McGrath were soon on the scene and in reply to Dillon's or6ar to give up his

PATRIOTIC sPIRITUALIsTs. Mrs. Lillie Delivers an Interestinp
 Address on the War.

The regular weekly meeting of the So- ciety of Progressive Spiritualists was held last night at 305 Larkin street. After an entertaining programme had been ren- dered Mrs. Lillie delivered an interesting address on the present war;
 We are fighting for only one cause,' she declared, ''and that is liberty. When Spain sought to persecute and murder the helpless Cubans President Mckinley and the people of the United States arose in their wrath and declared that it should stop. War between the two nations re- suited, and although hundreds of our gal lant boys have fallen in the heat of battle the stars and stripes will shortly wave over the Spanish possessions. While our hearts trembled and tears coursed down our faces as we looked upon the brave soldiers who left this city to defend the flag of our nation, yet we all felt glad that they were bent on merciful mis- sion of delivering the unfortunate Cubans from the tyranny and abuse of the Spanish
 Mrs Lillie was warmly congratulated at the conclusion of her patriotic address.
