WILL RACE LIKE HORSES. San Franciscos Will Give No Time
 Allowances to Yachts.

At meeting of the directors of the San Francisco Yacht Club held yesterday at the Merchants Exchange there were present:
 Commodore Dr. T. L. Hill, Treasurer R row and Measurer J. M. Punnett. The resignation of Lieutenant McCully, form erly of the United States coast survey vessel McArthur, but now of the United States navy, was accepted. The McAr- thur, while engaged in surveying the bay of San Francisco, for long time made her headquarters at Sausalito. Wakefield Baker was elected member Of the club There was considerable discussion about the publication of a book to contain the bylaws of the club as approved at it's last general meeting, a catalogue of the yachts list of members; but no definite conclusion was arrived at. Several bills were ap- proved and ordered paid.
 A links is to be given at the clubhouse at Sausalito on the evening of Saturday June %, and regatta, open to all the clubs on the bay, on Sunday, June 26. It was suggested that the yachts in each class should have their time taken from the firing of the signal gun for that class and that there should be no time allow ances If this suggestion is adopted yacht racing will become much more interest ing and ineligible sport to spectators without any technical knowledge than 1t has hitherto been. Under the system now in vogue. a yacht may cross the finishing line ahead of everything else and cover the course in a shorter time than any of it's competitors, and yet, when the ttme- lxeeners have concluded their calculations, be adiudged last in the race.

visions of the unconstitutional act of March 23 1Ss8 is now in full force and effect.
 It furnishes full and complete though ex- pensive system for the opening of streets.
 The Supreme Court of California has recently held that this is not the only method by which a street may be opened, but that it would he accomplished by condemnation proceedings taken under title VII, part III of the Code of Civil Procedure. The decision referred to reads follows:
 'The provisions of the act of March G. 18ss are not exclusive, and were not designed to pro hbit a municipality from maintaining con- demnation proceedings under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. It may and will usually happen that a municipality proposing to open a new street will adopt the machinery provided for by the statute. If for no other reasons than that it contemplates the forma- ton of an assessment district, and the imposi- tion of the cost of the opening of the street upon the property of that district. But. upon the other hand, if it shall happen that a municipality has in its treasury funds available for the proposed condemnation and opening of a street no good reason can be seen why it should not pay these expenses out of it's treas ury and relieve property owners of the unneces- sary burden of taXation.

Lundquist. who is imprisoned in some little whaling. station in the Arctic. will no doubt be very much disconcerted when he learns that his savings of three years, which are now in the safe of the Pacific. Whaling Company, have been at tached by his wife and the company served with an injunction to hold the money un- ul.further orders of court. ; Three years ago Lundquist and his wife disagreed, and Lundquist, without telling his wife where he was going, departed for. Alaska, He succeeded in obtaining a position with trading company. and has : been working steadily eyer since Being away from civilization and socially buried among forests glaciers and Indians, -Lundquist has. had no opportunity to spend his salary. which has consequently been: steadily accommodating, until now there is Sl0O to- his credit in his employer S office in San Francisco. ----
 Mrs. Lundquist discovered her hus- bands whereabouts, and as he has. not made. any effort for three years to sup port her or their little children, she re- gently applied for a divorce through her attorney, E. c. Holman More recently Mrs. Lundquist discovered that it was possible for her to get some of her hus- bands money, and to-day an injunction was served on the whaling company for bidding it to dispose of the money.
 Mrs. Iundquist Is. very modest in her demands, asking only SIS a month ali- mony and fees. -.
