The Imperative Duty Ahead.

In speeches at the Fourth of July

question by cX-rre,ident Harrison
and Senator Lodge. No one is more

said the lnitcG States had no idea

There has been a great Zeal oil al
verse criticism of Judge Phillips de-
cision on the special tax question, nut
while it will work Il great hardship
for awhile we believe it right iii rrin-
ciple. There would be about as much
Justice in requiring roads TO be butt
at the sole expense OF those owning
land along the same as there l. in
compelling owners of city property to
paw all the expense of sidewalks and
streets along their lots. In many
cases the owner of the property along
which he street is being improved has
less interest in and less use for the
street than hundreds of Others whom
it gill cost nothing. The only theory
on which the special tax can be Justl'
fled is that the cos of the street OF
sidewalk adds that much more to the
actual value of the property adJoln-
ing it: and there are instances where

EDNA WINS
BY A LARGE MARGIN
SAGAR'S SLooP CAPTURES THE
WALLACE TROPHY.
Winners Victory Due to Her Excel
lent Work in Beating Out to
Windward.

The California Yacht Club members held
their annual race for the Wallace trophy
yesterday over the usual course from the
southerly pier-head of the narrow-gauge
mole at Oakland out to Presidio ShoaI
buoy The first or preparatory gun was
hred at l2:35 p. M, and the starting gun
for classes 1 and at 12:45 D. m; but none
of the yachts in those classes started.
Vice Commodore A. c. Lees sloop Sur
prise was cruising about with a reef in
her mainsail, but her owner, finding that
she had no competitors in her own class,
did not cross the starting line.
AT l o'clock the gun signaling the
yachts of class to start doomed out. The
yawl Idler and the sloops Edna, Embla
and Pactolus were all near the line, and
crossed in a bunch, the Embla first Tdler
next, Pactolus third and Edna last. From
the start the Edna outpointed and out
footed her rivals. The Edna. Embla and
Idler kept over toward Goat Island but
Commodore Clay went nearer to the
water front. The Edna kept increasing
her lead until at Preside Shoal buoy she
was 81 minutes ahead of the Embla and
45 minutes ahead of the Pactolus. On the
run home, with spinnakers and watersails
set, the Edna lost IL seconds of her lead
over the PactoluS, finishing &c minutes
and 80 seconds ahead of the Embla. and A
minutes AID 19 seconds ahead of the Pac-
tolus. The yawl Idler started and fin
ished a few seconds behind the Embla
but as she did not round the buoy the
course was not completed by her
On the run home the Edna lost 80 Sec
ondS of the lead she had established over
the Embla on the beat out The Edna S
windward work was excellent; she was
well handled, and had an efficient crew,
which included Commodore Carl Wester-
field, J. Short, Frank Thompson and E.
Schober. In Commodore CIay's crew
were r. L. Eames. R. r. rHommedieu
and Captain Lightfoot of the Healani
Yacht Club of Honolulu. Z. T. Sagar has
won the Wallace trophy two years in sue

BRIGHTON, England July 16-The
joint commission having charge of the
forthcoming athletic contests between the
teams of Yale and Harvard and Oxford
and Cambridge Universities at the
Queens Club West Kensington, London,
held its first official meeting at the Hotel
Metropole this afternoon. The English
men came from Eastbourne and took
! lunch with the Americans. Evart Wen
dell of Harvard presided and among those
present were Joseph B. Morrison, Charles
H. Sheriff. and HOlcomb J. Browne on
behalf of the Americans and G. N. jack
son, T. c. Vassall and A. Hunter on be-
half of the home team.
The meeting proved most satisfactory,
the greatest good feeling being displayed
on both sides. The status of Burke and
Quinlan of the American team was
roughly discussed and the conclusion ar
rived at was that no objection to them
would hold for moment.
Mr.. Jackson was very emphatic in de-
nouncing the English newspapers that
originated the controversy. He asked
that it be made plain to the American
newspapers that neither he nor his col
leagues would under any circumstances
have considered any objection to either
Quinian or Burke.
1.-The fact that these gentlemen, Mr..
Wendell and his fellow committeeman,
who are of such high standing in anna
teur athletics, vouch for them is entirely
sufficient" said Mr.. Jackson, 'and if any
objection should be raised again to either
it will not proceed from the OXfOrd-Cam-
bridge officials, and will not have the
sympathy of Oxford or Cambridge men.
The main object of to-day's meeting was
to harmonic the Anglo-American Anna
teur Athletic rules, which vary in some
minor particulars. In order that the con-
tests may be carried out under conditions
that shall be indisputable it was agreed
that the hurdle races should be run un-
der American conditions, over loose in
stead of fixed hurdles and that each side
should follow its own custom in hammer
throwing. 1t was also agreed that the
high Jump should be taken from the turf
in the center of the grounds instead OF
the cinder path. Some minor details with
The order of events has yet TO be ar
ranged On the American side there has
been no definite choice of the actual COM
petitors for the 100-yard and hurdle
races. 1t is possible that in these cases
alternate names may appear on the pro-
gramme.
The sports will begin punctually at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, as the Prince of
Wales will be obliged to leave at o'clock
for his yacht in the Solent.
The committee will meet again at the
Queens Club next Tuesday to complete
the final arrangements.
The American team did not practice to-
day The men went to church in body
this morning, and went for a drive tnis
afternoon Tomorrow they will leave for
London, and will take their further prac-
tice at the Queens Club.

Eight innings of rafting play marked
the afternoon game. At the end of the
seventh the score read to l, Errors were
very few.
1t was in the first inning that Shanahan
of the salmon country went jogging to
first on a single. Stultz furthered his
travels by another, and these two were
each advanced a station on Sheehan' s
sacrifice bunt. Mclaughlin went to bat
and let drive for a single right in the
safest spot of center field. Shanahan
crossed the plate, but Stultz, who was
close upon his heels, was caught at the
haven and died.
Oakland's only run was made in the
fifth Lange smashed the ball out for
two bags and went to third when Schmeer
raped single Donovan attempted to
bunt. but died a quick and unnatural
with a jaunty air that promised much.
He swung and Lange scored. Nothing
more in the way of un-making for Oa---
land was effected.
In .he seventh inning StultZ started after
a ball from MoSkiman's bat and 1t was
flying leap backward he shot out his left
and the ball stuck. 1t was the prettiest
Individual work of the day.
The eighth inning was fruitful of an
other run for the Senators. Mclaughlin
crossed the plate this time. The last in
runs for one siue, the Senators. Shana-
han. Stultz, Mclaughlin and Harvey
worked around the bases with hits, bases
on balls and an occasional error.
Harvey for the Senators pitched great
game and was well supported by mis- team.
in the last inning resulted in string Of
runs. The score:
