But beyond these points OF resemblance
these two are widely different.
Mrs. Hearst is a woman OF social ambi-
ton. 1t was she who inspired the pur-
chase for $3.50, 900 of the splendid Skae man
sion In San francisco and Instituted a
series of social entertainments so splendid
that her rugged, ~plain-mannered husband
opened his eyes In amazement. 1t was she
who induced him to purchase the San Fran
cisco Examiner as a means OF political
advancement and afterwards TO run for
governor of the state. II was Mrs. Hearst
who, during that disastrous campaign,
kept open house at a cost OF thousands of
dollars and after her husbands appoint
ment to the senate her entertainments in
Washington exceeded in number and mag
nihcence those which had made her famous
in California.
Mrs. Stanford, on the contrary, did not
love society. Her husbands position as

A Modern Woman Catering TO Up-to-

"The automobile has opened a new field
for women who have their own livings to

proposes 20 become the proprietor and

The new fringes this season are very at

COACH MEET AT BLINGUM
WAS A BIG SUCCESS

Just two short of a dozen equipages
turned out yesterday at the annual coach
meet of the Country Club at Burlingame
but from every other point than that of
numbers the affair was the rippingest sue
cess that has yet been set down in the
clubs history. Incidentally it was the
SWEETEST and best attended function that
has gathered the Blingumites together
this past year. The newest things that
have attached themselves to breaks and
tally-hos since the last meet were brought
out; the ladies, who were largely in the
majority, were exquisitely gowned, and,
for that matter, so were the men,
The guests arrived for luncheon, which
was set on the gayly decorated veranda
of the clubhouse, and two hours of in
formality, music and good viands pre-
coded the forming of the parade. Walter
Hobart's handsome coach, with it's owner
driving, led off for the San Mateo boule-
ward, and following him was Henry
Crocker's coach with Mr.. Croker and a
deckload of the ladies of his party who
are spending the summer at the club.
After Mr.. Croker came Charlie Baldwin
with another coach load. The George
PopeS followed and after them Joe Grant
and Dick Tobin in their breaks. Peter ter
Martin, who had been scheduled to leave
again for the south and the gold mine he
has recently discovered on his San Diego
ranch, stayed over just long enough to
toole the club coach out with his usual
jolly party. The Frank Carolans in their
break and the Baylards coach would
have ended the line had it not been for
Prince Poniatowski's unique turnout
The Poniatowskis have been promising
something startling for some weeks past:
they furnished it yesterday in the shape
of a swell drag drawn by four gray and
wellgroomed mules, which contrary to
the general rule, were quite capable of
setting the pace for the rest of the pro-
ceSSon.
The route was from the clubhouse out
to the San Mateo road. into the village
and back to the polo grounds. 1t was
regal procession and all San Mateo turned
out TO see it pass and then most of San
Mateo got. on it's bicycle and made for
the polo field, where it crowded the grand
stand and all other available space save
the square in which the coaches lined up
fronting on the field.
The polo game was more fiercely con-
tested and gave rise to more partisan
feeling than any of the games that have
made the "Blingum' field famous. The
graduates of Georgetown College were
lined up against the club team and each
of the four periods that followed were
holly fought. Walter Hobart. Dick Tobin
Charlie Dunphy and John Lawson wore
the college red, and the blue of the club
was carried by Ollie and Joe Tobin, Tom
Driscoll and Peter Martin. The club team
won at the end of the fourth period with
a score of two goals to Georgetown's one

ELEVEN INNINGS
AND THE DUDES
ARE VICTORIOUS
Fine Bali Played by

Oakland 8, Watsonville 2.

Eleven innings of good ball played by

Farmers and Dudes mingled in fast
play for two innings more than regulation
limits. but they were necessary to de-
eide the game. Errors were few and hits
not very plentiful although the Dudes
succeeded in accomplishing something
with the stick. The long. lugubriOus and
melancholic smile of Cal Ewing has dis
appeared, and he is now ordering meals
from the Farmers. 1t was his first real
victory in several weeks, unmarried by
bold bad Unpires.
From the NTH inning to the eleventh
not single run was scored. The Hay
seeds started the game with single run,
but the BIRMINGHAM wakes crawled up
ia the second 20 an even stand. In the
fourth Oakland scored a second run and
the score was tied in the fifth by Wat
scnville. From that time on the game
was carefully played splendid fielding,
good pitching and excellent base throw

The bases were filled and two men lay

pedestal like Patience waiting for pyro

for Just as Courtney left his base to be
ready for any old thing Hammond, who
had caught a pitched ball, took the chance
of his life and bolted the spherOid down
to second. Courtney died and the Farm
ers shed hayseeds as they went TO the
