AT THE PARK AND CLIFF.
The Crowd Was Small but Several
People Were Injured.

KIondike breezes swayed the foliage in
Golden Gate Park yesterday and turned
the luxury of pleasure-seeking into dis
agreeable pursuit. The crowds that gath
cred in the various resorts where amuse-
ment is usually found were small. New
ertheless, the surgeons at the Park Hos
pital were kept fairly busy. c. Bielawski,
a man who has reached the allotted three
score and ten residing at 2302la California
street, was knocked down and severely
injured by a cyclist. Jacob Harband, a
cyclist, residing at 946 Howard street, col
lided with a pedestrian and got the worst
of it, and Arthur Fellows, living at 113
Cedar avenue, fell over wire wicket and
injured his left knee. The injuries of all
were dressed by DR.. ]. f. Green and In
terne M. e. Simon, and went on their way.
DR.. Mouser had a narrow Nv, , escape from

jured, although the dashboard of his

GOLDEN LINKS ELECTION.
Interesting Meeting Held Yesterday
at Golden Gate Hall.

The Golden Links held an election of
officers yesterday afternoon at Golden
Gate Hall. The following persons were
chosen to fill positions for the ensuing
year: George w. Caswell, eminent COM
mander; Charles A. Seley, first associate
commander; Roy Douglas, second asso-
ciate commander: William G. Badger,
patriarch; Roy Clark, prelate; Archie
Manner, recording secretary; Walter
Douglas, financial secretary; Arthur
Smith. tyler; Frederick Booth, warden.
Interesting addresses were delivered by
William G.. Badger, George w. Caswell,
Charles A. Seley and Mrs. John Petite.
The latter lady predicted that the mem
bership would swell to hundreds before
many months. Her remarks were so APP
preciated that she was called upon for
another address, after which vote OF
thanks was extended to her for the mark
ed interest she has shown in the affairs
of the lodge
The Lodge of the Golden Links was re-
Gently established by William G.. Badger,
and obligates its members, all of whom
are young boys, to abstain from the use
of intoXicants and profanity. 1t has had
the effect of amending the morals of a
number of youths who had fallen into evil
ways, and it accords them training which
will enable them to take part in public
matters and make them useful members
of society.

TRINITY CHURCH WILL
HAVE A VESTED CHOIR
ADULT CHORUS THAT WILL DON
VESTMENTS.
Older Practitioners Consent to the In
novation With Some Signs of
Reluctance.

An innovation is to be introduced into
Trinity Church, which, it is thought, will
startle some of the old Pensioners of that
conservative temple of worship. The in
PRODUCTION of a vested choir has been in
contemplation ever since the present rec
tor, the Rev. H. E. Cooke, has occupied
the pulpit. For years the choir of Trinity
has consisted of mixed chorus, generally
of excellent quality, but regarded with
some degree of diSfavor by churchmen of
later days. The director of music is H. j.
Stewart, and he has sympathized with the
recent movement, particularly as the new
organ of the church is of sufficient COM
pass and volume for any possible de-
mands. There has been some opposi-
ton to the rector's plan, but all these have
been happily overcome and now the
church, following the example of every
other one in the deanery, will have a
vested choir of mixed voices
AS soon as the architectural changes in
the chancel are completed the new order
of things will be introduced, probably the
Sunday before Easter. The choir, as
now, will include both voices, but the
present number will be greatly aug
mented. The double quartet will be en-
larged to twenty-six voices, eight men
and the balance women. The vestments
being made by the guilds of the church.
Possibly at some future period boys
voices may be introduced, but for several
months the mixed chorus will sing. Miss
Flynn will remain as first soprano and
Mr.. Fortescue's services will be retained.
The new singers comprise some of the
best male voices in the city.
