 First Lieutenant A. A. Moore Jr. has resigned from the Oakland Light Cavalry. Since Mir Moore, about a month ago, took upon himself the responsibility of signing the roll of the cavalry, he has had more than enough of reminders to con- vince him that resignation would be agreeable to him.
 There are some things that are not pleasant" said MT. Moore, and one or them is being done brown It is one thing to be decorated with military in signia, and it is another thing to belong to an organization that is treated as a joke and to be made in gingerbread and plastered over with sugar epaulettes In store window"
 There is nothing metaphorical in MT. Moore's speech. It is to be construed lit orally. few days ago an enterprising baker, realizing that the Oakland Light Cavalry was the best thing of the hour. decided to make capital out of the fash ionable brigade. He procured a complete list of officers, and couple of days later done in sugar and gingerbread was o1I display in his window. They were all mounted on gingerbread and taffy horses, and in the plume of each was a sign bear ing the. officers name. This was too much.

Moore could be bought for 10 cents. small size size or or two bits, large against making light cavalry in ginger, bread, MT. Moore decided that he would at least rob the joke of the point in it

falling off in the bulk of business on the 1st Of November, which is the day on which the races open for the season, and there is a feeling somewhat akin to relief when the season is over. Even the most enthusiastic supporter of racing agrees that six months is the limit this district can stand. Now that it is the intention to try to open poolrooms so near to this city, and so available to such a large popu- larion where gambling on Eastern races with all it's contingent crooked work can be carried on. there is an outbreak of strong opposition.
 This opposition has a legitimate founda ton independent of any sentiment that may arise. When the racing is on many thousands of dollars are spent for food for hundreds of employees, for hay for the horses. and for all the expenses of the large colony necessary to maintain the track, amounting to several hundred people. The amount of money taken to the track and lost in betting comes back through these sources, but should pool selling be permitted on Eastern races 1t will be a constant drain on the commun- ity with no return. Many who would not go out of their way to advance a purely moral argument, against poolroom gam bling, are bitterly opposed to it for the commercial reason just given.

 The Ordinance and Judiciary Committee of the Emeryville Board Of Trustees held an important meeting last night and de- cided unanimously that there should be no bedrooms in the town.
 A majority of the Trustees assured The Call to-day that the petition which has aroused such a storm will not receive any support whatever.
 The attempt to secure permission from the Emeryville Trustees to open pool rooms in the little town has raised strong opposition, and the Trustees of Emery vile are being closely watched by the whole county for the purpose of seeing how they will record their votes next Monday night.
 Emeryville is only a few minutes ride firm Berkeley. Oakland and Alameda, while it is well known that if poolrooms were wide open a. large contingent of bet ting people would daily come over from San Francisco The experience of Oak land with the poolrooms that were located on Eighth street a few years ago was such that no one is anxious to see it re- peated. Many merchants while counte- nancing genuine horse races, think that the six months it prevails at EmeryVille Is altogether too much in each year, be- cause 1t draws more money from the pockets of those who would spend it in stores than is returned to those who draw business directly from the track

The weather at Deer Park Inn is now most delightful. All the freshness of early spring prevails. Birds are singing and brooks are singing Wild flowers are springing into bloom on every side; foun- tains are playing, children laughing; min- eral springs bubbling and sparkling, and, best of all, trout biting greedily at the artificial fly.
 On Monday last Mrs. I. R. D. Grubb Of San Francisco caught a beautiful string of trout in the Truckee.
 MT. C. B. Gibbs brought in forty large trout from the same stream on Tuesday last.

Town Officials and Many Mer-
 chants Condemn Open
POOlpOOnnS.


 EMERYVILLE, June 1S.-The feeling In the town regarding poolrooms is shown by the following expressions of opinion made to-day to a Call reporter:
 Recorder Quinn-The people of this town do not want any poolrooms. Those who signed the petition did not know what it carried with it. That cuts small figure, for those who are influential will not listen to such a proposition. There will not be single vote for the petitioner
 Landegrin, the poolroom promoter, says he will build a house on his property near the stockyards. Does he think people will go out there to bet? I don't, and besides if he is allowed to run a place what is to hinder others from doing the same? This building next door is the best arranged place for poolrooms in the State. Would not some one take it and run 1t in oppo- sition? He cannot keep any one out who desires to come in. The signers are his friends. A saloon-keeper who had taken in g or 8 while Landegrin treated could not refuse to sign his petition. It VIII never go, I'll tell you.
 C. Coburn, postmaster-Public opinion IS against bedrooms in this town me me racetrack is bad enough, and only the saIoonmen, who believe that they VIII take In few more nickels, are all that favor the scheme. Some say it is not fair
 
 1t may not be, but Tom Williams has put in lot of money here and has fenced in his track, and you must pay dollar to get Tn. But suppose places were estap- lished outside, it would be the ruination or every. man here: They are getting every bit of the manhood of our community now, if they had open poolrooms they would get our women and children, too. No, they will never get poolrooms here. l know that. l am on the inside enough to know that no license will ever be grant ed them under any consideration. We had Chinese lottery here for time and it became so bad that every cent the boys could scrape together went there. The saloonkeepers were the first to complain. They declared that they were not paying rent leaving alone their other bills. Ev- cry time the ironworkers stopped to cool off they made a dash to the Chinaman's That was enough for this place. We want no more.

 OAKLAND, June 1S.-The commence ment exercises of St. Elizabeth's School at Fruitvale were held last Wednesday, under the direction of the Dominican Sis ters. The event was doubly pleasant, commemorating as it did the silver jubi- lee of the pastor, Rev. M. Kline. The class rooms were prettily decorated by the sisters and friends of the young lady graduates.
 The ceremonies began at a; m. with solemn high mass at the church, Father Kline being celebrant, Father Lambert deacon and Father Ronnald sub-deacon. The following young ladies received diplomas: Misses Grace Helen Touhey, Sophia Agnes Kreig: Mary Ellen Finley. At the conclusion of the programme the pastor, Father Kline, was presented with a purse, the gift of scholars and friends. The father was quite affected by their heartfelt wishes, and thanked them, 1n a neat little speech. At the conclusion of the exercises the young ladies adjourned to the class rooms, where a dainty lunch was spread by the Dominican Sisters.

means it. MT. Doyle will never vote for the petition.
 L. J. Westlake, druggist, San Pablo and Park avenuesI signed the petition for poolrooms, but I am not nor never have been in favor of them. I decidedly object a man has to give in occasionally. l told the man who presented the petition that he would be back with another one inside of a year seeking signatures to have the poolrooms removed. They take every thing out, but never leave anything to speak of. No good ever arises from them in any manner. If no one else will allow them an abiding place I see no reason why they shoIld be allowed here.
 E. w. Webb, merchant-Poolrooms will don't want them and that settles it. There is no one here to support such an institution. The track is supported from started they would have to tboG1t support them.

Railroad Crossing Franchise.

ALAMEDA. June 1S.-At the meeting of the City Trustees next Monday night the matter of granting a franchise for rail road crossing on Webster street near the estuary bridge will come up. It is prob able that the franchise will be granted on condition that the company put in gates and maintain a fagman at that point. There is sentiment, however among people who use that thoroughfare that it would be better to have bridge Traffic is constant, and with a grade crossing there will be great danger and much de- lay. The street will have to be graded up several feet in order to meet the railroad grade. and it would cost but little more to lower the street and raise the track so as to permit q bridge to be built.
