HAROLD CLARK IS THE STAR
WINS a CLEEK AND TWO BRAS
SIZES IN COMPETITION.

Though caddies might live without golf,
1t IS reasonably certain that golf could
not maintain its existence without cad
dies. On the principle that the looker-on
often sees most Of the game, the caddle'
whose business compels him to watch the
play of his patrons, inevitably acquires
an extensive knowledge Of what not to
do. On the other hand, when he has
the good fortune to carry for an expert,
he has an excellent chance to study MS
game, and when opportunity offers ne
naturally tries to put the results or ms
observation into practice. Accordingly,
many boys who have carried for experts
become fine players. Recognizing the TACT
that the caddie Is an Indispensable ele-
ment Of golf, the committee Of the San
Rafael Golf Club determined to give up
yesterday afternoon to him. About
o'clock a nine-hole competition, medal
play, took place among the caddtes, prizes
being offered for the two best scores.
Harold Clark won first prize with a score
of II and Harry Roberts took second prize
with a score Of 81. The first prize was
set Of clubs, comprising driver, bras
Sie a lofter and Cleek; the second prize
consisted of a brassie and a cleek.
Later in the afternoon driving compe-
tition was held, in which two prizes were
given for the longest balls out Of five
drives The first prize, a brassie, was won
by Harold Clark, with a drive in which
the clear flight Of the ball was 104 yards,
A. l-ange was secohQ, with d urlNe OF 80
yards. Lange bore off a cleek as a rewar~
Of his skill.
Some entries have already been made
for the children's handicap to take place
on Monday. Among these are Dennis c.
Arnold; Harry Hastings and Clement Ar
mold For the mems handicap compeh
ton, which will take place on the Fourth,
J. Dennis Arnold, H. p. Sonntag, Harry
Francis and w. G. Curtis have already
entered. Many more entries will be re-
ceived later. For the mixed driving and
approaching competition the following en-
tries have been made: ]. Dennis Arnold,
Clement Arnold, II. P. Sonntag, Harry
Francis and W. G. Curtis. The. play. on
the Fourth will not begin much before
noon so as not to interfere with the oele-
bration in San Rafael
In the competition to be held tomorrow
at the Burlingame links, the San Rafael
Golf Club will be represented by Mrs. 4.
Gilman-B Brown and probably also by Miss
McCalla, while Miss Mclean will repre-
sent the San Francisco lady golfers.

CHINESE BELLE ARRESTED.
Suey Yee Is Accused of EN- bezzling
Jewelry From Sew Yung,
Which She Borrowed
nudge Morgan will be called

Judge Morgan will be called upon to-
morrow to sit in judgment on an interest
ing case in which both the complaining
witness and the defendant are Chinese
bellies, the one accusing the other of en-
bezzling jewelry
Sew Yung, who keeps a fancy store at
63S Pacific street. is the complaining wit
ness. She alleges that on June 80 Suey
Yee called upon her and told her she was
going to a swell Chinese social where she
wanted to make sensation. She asked
for the loan of different articles of jewelry
with which to bedeck herself, and she
got them.
After the social Suey Yee fed to the
Methodist mission, taking the jewelry
with her. A complaint was made at the
mission and a gold toothpick was re-
turned, but there are still missing a dia-
mond ring, three plain gold rings and a
gold tiara, which. 1t is alleged, Suey Yee
pawned.
Suey Yee was taken to the City Prison
yesterday afternoon and booked on the
charge. but, was released on her own re-
cognizance by Judge Morgan, a lady be-
longing to the mission having called upon
him and told him that the arrest was
simply a plot to get her out Of the
mission.

An American residing in Jamaica

sea as blue as indigo" and fine har-
bors "fringed by s~ilvery-lined
beaches, on which the gigantic, but
steady-rolling waves die in snow-like
foam" leaving the rarest shells as they
recede. But, commercially, he reports
the island in bad shape. Of its popula-
tlon OF 100000 a third are out of en-
ployment and trade is paralyzed by
the abandonment of sugar and coffee
raising through the competition of
beet sugar and English commercial
regulations. Tits not easy to run, Amer

1t is figured out that the annual risk
of death from lightning in American
cities is / to 400, 900. According to the
oroner Of Philadelphia, the fatal
strokes of lightning in that city last
year were three, while AZ persons were
victims of homicide and 1873 committed
suicide. The two leading steam rail
ways entering Philadelphia caused 12a
deaths. Trolley lines were responsible
for 26 deaths, a smaller average than
that of the horse car era. In spite of
its terrifying effects, lightning is one
of the slight dangers of a large town.

1t has been limited more than once
that there are many riders who lose
their senses after riding an hour or two
on the bicycle. They seem to be bereft
OF sight and hearing, and when there
is an accident. they make the excuse
that they did not know what they were
doing. On the river drive in New York
the other day. a policeman caught a
runaway team just as it was in the
act of crashing into two girls on bi,
cycles, and broke his ankle in so do
ing. The girls, so far from thanking
him, actually rode away with q light
laugh on their lips. It is charitable to
suppose that they crazy, and not
absolutely heartless.

The mixing Of Money.

IL RICat u vi 1l0
people in this world is to make money.
This object once accomplished, their
sole remaining purpose in life is to
make more money; and, more money
once made, dreams of additional mil
lions begin to float across their vision
with a naturalness too often mistaken
for an instructive justification. Why
men should so much care to make
money, it is indeed hard to see; and
still harder to see why, having once
made it, they should doubly want to
make more, writes FL. C.. Boultbee, in
Brooklyn Life. Yet so it is. And no
man pines or frets for the millions of
his neighbor more than the man that
has millions of his own. To discover
plenty in a little and extract delight
from frugality is become a lost art,
: and he that, rich in other things, can
face poverty with a smile, or, armed
with appreciation, accept with glad
ness life's humber blessings, grows
rarer day by day. Day by day there
shoves to the front the man whose sole
claim to distinction is that he can gain
millions without earning them, ard re-
tain them without enjoyment. Such a
man is said TO have power and to have
achieved greatness. Whereas, in truth,
all he has accomplished is to have Sc
cured possession of a force he cannoi
use, and, in all likelihood, to have
buried forever beneath a heap of dross
what too little of good was in him Still
on every side the impression grows that
money can buy all things and redeem
al! things, and it's owners, if jeered at in
private, are wershiped in public. Nay,
is not their very example emulated with
a zeal and ~pertinacity that to theirnos-
trils must be the sweetest of all in
cense? Are not their characters studied
and their words noted. as though worth
n honor We're stamped on their very
thought and act? Why is it so? How
can the collection of mere dollars, too
often in its methods cruel, cold and vile.
ever hope to rival, in the final end, the
gathering of knowledge, the acquiring
OF taste, or the Jealous preservation of
honor, truth and innocence? How can
mere riches make up for a nature
stripped Of every semblance of its once
glorious manhood, or atone for a ming
impoverished of every noble sentiment
and degraded to the task of catering
to the diseased instinct of the miser?
lsitnotall a mistake? Isit not all based
upon the assumption hat money can
command all things? And that, there
fore, to secure that medium is to possess
oneself of the golden key to unlock all
happiness? Vet what is the trptha
Simply this, that to learn TO value. to
learn to appreciate and enjoy the things
OF this life, is a task infinitely beyond
the mere accumulation of money, in
fnitely more difficult than the amass-
ing OF mere wealth. And to imagine.
therefore, that, because one has spent a
lifetime toilipg after millions, ore has
accomplished the greater task of appre-
citation and enjoyment, what is all this
but simply to imagine that difficulty
overcome upon which we have turned
our backs, and that duty performed to
which our own greedand folly have for
ever blinded us2
