Yesterdays Handball Sport.

1t was a warm day at Phil Ryan hand
ball court, S5S Howard street, yesterday.
There were eleven good games played,
with some of the crack performers be-
fore the walls. Jim Nealon redeemed
himself for the Indifference shown at last
Sundays play. He was in fine trim and
his manner of sending out sidewall deads
puzzled his most active opponents. In
fact, he walked away with the honorS of
the court. Professor Riordon was in
sending home of shorts by which he has
heretofore distinguished his inside play

THE BIG SHOOT.
A. Strecker Retains the Crown of
Champion.

President Phlo Jacoby mounted a table
at Schuetzen Park yesterday and with A
spread-eagle swoop of his arms announced
that the great annual Schuetzentest of the
California Schuetzen Club had begun
With loud cheering the large number of
marksmen present made 4 rush for the
shooting stands, rifles came to shoulders
and soon the merry popping heraIded the
Inauguration of a contest in which
goodly number of sharpshooIers added to
their fame and the contents of their
pockets.
Shooting began at $3.50 o'clock In the
morning, and the last rifle cracked at 6
in the evening. Delegations were present
as guests from the Sacramento /. fie Club
and the Centerville Rifle Club of Alameda
County, and at least one man in each of
these visiting organizations made record
he need not be ashamed TO mention.
NO official scores have yet been made

sycamore. has again shown himself 20
be the modest Roman of them all' when
IT comes to pointing gun at Lullseye.
Ihere were two targetS-the ring and the
honorary-three shots being permitted at
the latter and four at the former. On the
honorary target Strecker's score was
~, Y, TO- So. This entities him to first
prize, choice between a silver dinner
set and target rifle valued at $65, do
mated by the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company. Besides, he will receive a
champion silver goblet from A L. OFT.
On the ring target Strecker's score was
SO, 81 80, 49, which places him near the
head of the list in that competition and
Will bring him a cash prize of $40 The
performance of the veteran marksman
was the more remarkable on account of
the fact that in all he shot away ONLY
ten tickets and if he had desired to make
himself too conspicuous" as he himself
expressed 1t, he might have taken first
prize on the ring target.
Closely following Strecker came f. P
Schuster, who won first prize on the ring
target with a top score of 90. which
drew down the first prize Of $780, Schuster
also made top score of II on the honor

prize for that performance as we'll

Women's Relief Corps Home.

Yesterday Department Commander Sol
Cahen, accompanied by T. c. Masteller,
J. H. Simpson and F. E. Myers, members
of his staff, paid an official visit of inspec-
ton to the Home for Destitute Female
erected in 1889 by the Woman's Relief
Corps of the Grand Army of the Republic
at Evergreen, Santa Clara County.
The party was met by c. Mason Kline
of the advisory board and Mrs. E. d A.
Kline, the treasurer of the home. Under
the guidance of Mrs. Geraldine E. Fris-
bic, president of the nome, and Mrs. Cora
a. Merritt and Mrs. Masteller of the
board of managers, a thorough inspection
of the premises was made and everything
was found to be in perfect condition. The
six acres surrounding the place are under
a high state of cultivation, and the fruit
to yield a splendid crop. At least two
acres are planted in vegetables, which
will produce more than sufficient for the
use of the home, which at the present
time has room for about twenty more in
mates.
The management of Mrs. Frisbie has
made the home all that it was ever in
tended to be. Members of the home
universally express satisfaction with their
treatment and say that it is IAN ideal
home in an ideal spot" Although this
home has been open for nearly ten years,
the entire furnishings, except possibly the
originally purchased. There is not a dol
lar of debt against the institution which
speaks well for the management. 1t is
an institution of which the loyal women
and comrades of the Grand Army may
well be proud.

PROFESSOR ANTHONY ARRIVES.
Inflated Crew of the Stella Erland

The Pacific Steamship Curacao arrived
yesterday and locked at the Broadway
wharf at o'clock last evening. Aboard
were Professor Anthony and the crew of
the schooner Stella Erland, which went
ashore thirty miles north Of Magdalena
Bay on the night of March IS. The eight
men of the crew were as follows: H. B.
Reading, r. c. MacGregor, r. II. Beck
Arthur Whitlock, James N. Gaylord
George Spencer, Chase Littlejohn and
Charles Jones. All hands have hard luck
tales to tell Of their experience. When
they landed on the beach after the wreck
they pitched tents made of tattered sails
and lived in comparative comfort until
the custom officers at Magdalena seized
their provisions. They were then re-
quired to subsist on food which they
claim was good enough for uncivilzed
people but hard on the stomachs of white
men.

was recovered. The accident was due

A FALLING LILY
SPOILED SERVICES
CREATED CONSERVATION AT
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Alameda Office San Francisco Call.

1925 Park Street, April 2.
Easter services at the First NJ. e.
Church were rudely interrupted this
morning by an unfeeling Gala lily that
fell from a cross high above the pulpit
and struck the minister. Rev. E. P. Den
nett. suuarely on top Of the head. The
occurrence happened during one or the
most solemn portions of the ceremonies,
but il made such a humorous impression
on the congregation that their feelings
overcame them and every member gave
forth a loud laugh.
E. T. NJ. Eckert was in the midst Of an
impressive barytone solo when the mem
beers of the congregation were attracted
by a movement on the Gala MY cross,
followed by one of the lilies falling from
its place and swinging gently to ana FRO
by a white thread that had bound IT 10
the skeleton of the cross. The lily did not
start en- its downward flight until Mr..
Eckert had finished his solo and Rev. Mr..
bennett had stepped up to the pulpit to
deliver his Easter sermon. The min
lister had Just given voice to the first
words of his address when the lily let go.
It's course for the reverend gentleman s
head was as straight and true as shot
from one of Dewey's guns. 1t sailed
through the air like a parachute. The
stamen struck the preacher upon the
crown, scattering the yellow pollen
through his hair. This, with the color
the incident brought to his face, gave his
head the appearance Of a beautifully col
Rev. Mr.. Bennett hid his face behind
a handkerchief. but his embarrassment
was complete when a gentle litter, which
finally developed into an outburst of
mirth, arose from the pews. 1t was some
minutes before the congregation and the
minister regained their composure. They
could not arise to the solemnlty or the
occasion, however. and the services were
Cut short.

river rise will soon be over with. No
damage whatever has been done to this
town. Being situated right at the mouth
of the great river the water during rises
seeks its level with the gulf stream and
the ridge proper where most of the town
is situated was perfectly free from water.
although the lower portions of same were
submerged, and as far back as the eye
could see, nothing was visible except
water. The current here at the mouth Of
the river was simply terrific, and 1t is
quite likely that every vestige Of
the bar has been removed. as The
Post correspondent with others on last
Tuesday made soundings and the very
least water to be found was twenty-three
