I'm taking this pledge do so with sim
certify and fervency. Let no boy break 1t.
or forget that he has sworn to Almighty
God to abstain from liquor, and let him
abide by the VOW. The boy that would
forget his pledge, If such thing were
keeping 1t; will never amount to anything
If you take the pledge, treasure It; see
that you do not play fast and loose with
It, You might deceive your officers, but
you cannot deceive your God"
Immediately after the sermon the pledge
was administered by the Archbishop. The
substance and the various conditions in
volved in 1t are as follows:
II declare before Almighty God, and
you, Most Reverend Father, and in the
presence of this congregation, that
hereby solemnly renew for the following
year the promise of temperance according
to the rules of that branch of the League
of the Cross Of which 1 am a member
and may God give me the grace to keep
this, my pledge, in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost. Amen"
Just previous to the administration of
the pledge the Archbishop delivered a
short address appropriate to the occasion
and in encouragement of the principles
which those who take the VOW are sup
posed to adhere to and If possible further.
Upon the conclusion of the remarks the
services were concluded with solemn ben
ediction by the Archbishop, assisted by
Father Mulligan as deacon, and Father
Connolly of st. Paul's church, as sub
deacon.
Before dispensing on the avenue imme-
diately after the ceremony the Cadets
passed in review before Colonel P Sulli-
van and staff and went through various
military evolutions.

acted as the superintendent of the entire
service, delivered an eloquent address on
the purpose of the renewal of pledges
emphasizing the necessity of stunning the
habitual use of liquor in order to preserve
the true manhood of the country.
To-day" he said, I'VE assemble here
for great and at the same time most es-
sential purpose. We come here to pledge
ourselves to that great virtue of temper
ance. We come to stand before God s
altar and in fact before God himself to
take with uplifted hand the VOW of tenn
perance.
"As look before me and view the hun
dreds of young men and boys who have
come here to perpetuate their pledges Of
temperance 1t is with a feeling of the ut
most appreciation. Members of the
league, you are now in that period of life
good or evil, By drinking, that is, by ha-
bitual drinking, you sink below the level
of true manhood, and you bring upon
yourselves eternal misery and punish
ment. Your country, which is next to God,
demands that you be men-true men:
essential that we have true men. Man
hood governs all things. By your own
efforts and the efforts of your church
and country it should be and is possible
to attain the highest and truest ideal of
manhood. The three great curses that
manhood in the past are dishonesty in
private and public life, immortality and
intemperance. This habit of intemper-
ance is undeniably and unquestionably a
disease. Drink is a poison to the intel
lect and the ruination of the physical
moral man. The fine edge of conscience
is ruined by drunkenness. The highest
interests of State and church demand the
abolition of this curse.

Second Regatta of Oakland Navy De-
clared No Race.

The second Oakland navy regatta Of
the season of 1899, which should have
taken place yesterday afternoon over the
triangular six-mile course on the San An
tonic estuary, was begun but did not
reach a conclusion. The canoe Whim
crossed the starting-line off the house of
the Alameda Boat Club at 1:2O p. m, and
was followed by the sloop Flash, the sIoop
Beatrice, the half-rater Minette, the ca
noe Gnat, and the sloop Ahwahnee, in the
order in which they are here named
The course, which is about six and a
half miles long, must be covered within
time limit of two hours. The breeze
which had been moderate at starting
gradually fell until it became evident that
none of the boats would get around the
course within the, allotted time. The race
was accordingly declared off, and will be
sailed at some future date, probably on
Sunday, February 25. Commodore Philip
Caduc was out on the creek in his sloop
Zephyr but did not enter the race
The regatta committee of the Oakland
Canoe Club is preparing a programme for
the coming season. in which provision will
be made for several races between craft
belonging to members, and for regattas
open to the boats of other clubs.

The total number of those who renewed
their sacred vows to abstain from intox-
icating drink during the coming year was

League. They came from all parts of the
city and from Alameda and Marin Coun-
ties. The parishes as represented are as

Policemen McGrayan ard Tracey, Of the
Southern Station, made an important cap
ture early yesterday morning. They WIS.,
TIED lodging house at As Fourth street
in search of a criminal, and on entering
the room supposed to be occupied by him,
they discovered two men in the act of
placing opium in numerous envelopes The
officers at once recognized them as John
Grant and Charles Clam, ex-convicts and
all-around crooks.
When asked what they intended to do
with the opium the men said that they
Quentin. Each envelope contained about
81 worth Of the drug, and was addressed
to the convict for whom it was intended.
They admitted that they were to go to
San Quentin to-day and plant the
opium 1t was to be lug up by one of the
outside TRUSTEES who was friendly with
the gang and by him carried into the pris-
on. Their object in placing the drug in
envelopes was to deceive the guards into
believing that the trusty had been given
some letters to deliver in case their sus-
pictons were aroused.
Grant is. a noted. bicycle thief. For a
long time ne worked the southern por-
ton of the State, stealing valuable wheels
and selling them for whatever he could
get. He was finally arrested In Los An
geles and sent to San Quentin for five
years, He was released on January 10,
after having served about four years.
Clam IS known as a desperate burglar.
He was caught breaking into a house in
Napa and sent to San Quentin for ten
years. He was discharged only a few
days ago. Both men were warm friends
while in the penitentiary. 1t is supposed
that after their release they conceived the
bold scheme of supplying the "f1ends" of
San Quentin with opium by placing the
drug in envelopes and then have them
carried into the prison.
Grant and Clam were booked for va
grancy, but it is likely that more serious
charges will be placed against them to-
day, as it is believed that they are respon-
sible for several recent hold-ups.

Rev. William RAIDER delivered an inter-

merit of Rudyard Kipling last evening at
the Third Congregational Church Fiji
touched first upon the rare quality and
genius of the productions of Kipling's pen.
He said they went beneath the realistic and
unearthed the idealistic, not only expos
ing the thing that is, but clearly defining
an ideal truth. Kipling he classed with
Shakespeare, excluding an atmosphere of
the predicter, but airing his works with
the genius of real Interpretation.
