Oakland.

Taking the results of the two rounds together, pr. Hibbetts was 2 up, H. D.. Pillsbury up, c. Page up, and E. J.. McCutchen up, total Il for the San francisco team; while for the Oakland team F. s. Stratton was 1 up, J. Mckee 6 up, E. R. Folger 1 up, and c. F. Win gate up; total 13. Oakland thus won by 2 up.
 The Oakland links afford excellent op- portuntties for play. Owing to the lack Of rain and the drying northerly wind they are in a somewhat dry and hard con- d1t1on, but the course is rolling and af- lords several good natural hazards. The approach to the eighth hole is a difficult one. It is down a steep hill, over board fence. across road and up slope on to the putting green, while beyond and to one side of the green are the marshy shores of Lake Merritt In approaching this hole on the first round A. Folger overplayed and lost his ball, thus giving the hole to his opponent, whose ball had struck the fence, but had luckily bounded through an opening in 1t.
 lnaSmuch as no two links anywhere in the world are alike, and golfers playing on their own links have an advantage over visitors, it is intended to reckon the game played yesterday as a half game, the second half of which will be played on Saturday, December IT, on the Presidio links. The scores of both games will be added together, and the two days play be reckoned as one game.
 The afternoon yesterday was lovely; the light good, without glare. and an abso- lutely calm atmosphere. Several members of the Oakland Golf Club visited the links, and among them were a number of ladies.

After an exceedingly close and interesting contest on the Oakland links yesterday afternoon the first team competition be- tween the Oakland and San Francisco Golf clubs ended in victory for Oakland with 1.-two up." Each club sent eight rep resentatives, and when the returns for both rounds from seven pairs of the play CTS were in, the San Francisco team led by three points, or, in golf language. was three up." When c. P. Wingates re- turns for both rounds were handed in it was found that he had beaten his oppo- nent at two holes in the first round, and at three holes in the second round; he was thus five up'' and the Oakland team two up.''
 The arrangements for the match were made by w. Thomas on behalf of the San Francisco Golf Club, and by P. D. Bowles of the Oakland team. The match consisted of two rounds, eighteen holes. The scores of the teams are given below:

Pacific Paving Company Seeks Re- lease From the Post-Street
 Gonfrac If

The shortage of funds to the credit of the Street Department has led the Pacific Paving Company to petition the Board of Supervisors for release from it's contract and Hyde.. The original resolution to pave the street was vetoed by Mayor Phelan upon its passage, but at a subsequent meeting of the board the veto was over- ruled
 The paving company in its petition states that when the contract was award ed bond of 5000 for fulfillment was de- manded and contends that on this account the contract is void, as the Vrooman act, under which it was let, gives no power to the board to exact such guarantee.

AWFUL SKIN HUMOR
CURED BY CUTICURA
A MOTHERS SWORN STATEMENT

My little daughter Mays head and face broke out in one solid mass of bleeding sores, and one of her ears was so affected, that the doctor thought that it would slough off. Her suffering was intense, getting no rest at all, unless under the influence of opiates. The physician tried every known remedy. but in. stead of getting better, they seemed to get worse all the time. Distracted with her con- dition, I was advised to try CUTIcURA RENE DIES. I administered CUTICURA' REsoLvENr inwardly, bathed her with CUTIcURA SOAP andused CUT1oURA (ointment) freely. Before the first aceek noticed thdt the littie sufferer was beginning to get relief.

Crossing the threshold was and is
the most critical period of the wedding
day with all races, not even excepting
the Anglo Saxon.
The superstitious fears Of the many.
always particularly alert on the coca
sion OF marriage eliminate in this
final act of the drama. The lifting Of
the bride over the threshold or her step
ping across it is the signal in Persia.
Arabia and among the Copts OF Egypt
for the sacrifice of goat or a sheep.
Among the Aenezes, according tc
Burckhardt, the bridegroom simply
kills lamb in front of his father in.
laws tent, and the ceremony, but for
the running of the bride from one tent
to another, is complete. Perhaps the
purest symbolical act is that of the
Transylvanian Saxon bridal pair, who
step over the threshold with their hands
tied together. Some of these Transyl-
vanian customs are remarkable and
must be survivals from very ancient
period. The bridegroom never wears
the shirt made for him by the bride ex.
cept on his wedding day and at his
burial, just as the veil Of the japanese
bride becomes one day her shroud.-

An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty
Centuries Ago.
Probably the oldest letter in the
world is tho letter of Panbesa. written
10 centuries before Christ to his friend
Amenemapt, u scribe.
The manuscript is of perishable papy-
rus, and it is amazing that 1t should
have survived for moro than 80 CEN
turtles and still be legible.
1t is preserved in the collection of tho
British museum. 1t has been several
times translated during the present CEN
fury. 1t presents an interesting picture
of life IN Egypt in the time of Rameses
IL 1t is more In the nature of u literary
production, poem composed in cele-
bration of the visit of Pharaoh to the
city of Pr 2.ameses, than an ordinary
letter of today.
Panbesa .'greets his lord, the scribe
Amenemapt, to whom be life, health
and strength, and then goes on to de-
scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing
floors, the vineyards, the groves OF
olives, the orchards of figs, the great
daily markets, with their fish and wa
terfowl and swarms Of purchasers.
Tho citizens had their "sweet wine
of khemi, pomegraIate wine and vino
from the vineyards, and to these they
added "beer of Kati." ffH
There was music in plenty furnished

On the whole, Pa-Rameses seems to
