Average of Bank Deposits.

Upon the basis of an estimate Just made
upon returns from fifty-one savings
banks the depositor in California savings
institutions still maintains a high average
showing with his funds. The average sum
credited to the city depositor is $794 81.
The country depositor has not quite so
much money to call his own in bank. but
he is credited with the average sum of
A12 a. Taking the deposits in the city
and in the country savings banks, the
showing is an average for depositors of
S697 81 each. This does not include returns
from two savings banks. which are miss
ing, but the average is practically cor
rect. In fact, the showing will probably
be better when it is next made up by the
Bank Commissioners, for this estimate is
based on returns up to last January, and
the deposits have increased since the be-
ginning Of the year at the rate of 81 900 900
per month. This justifies the belief that
the average is really higher than the one
submitted in the foregoing. but there are
no returns up to date to base an absolute
ly correct statement upon
The addition of the two banks from
which the returns are not included could
not affect the average materially. There
are 1896 depositors in the fifty-one saw
ings banks reporting. In these banks is
the sum of $1$S 1873 .247 4o OF this amount
the city savings banks have, in round fig
ures, $40, 600 900 and the country savings
banks have, also in round figures, $2S, ,000,-
000.

BOXERS GIVE
SPECTATORS
AGOOD SHOW
Five Bouts of Whirlwind
Sport at San Francisco
Athletic Club.

The inclement weather last night did
not dampen the ardor of the boxing en-
thusiasts who follow the game so closely
that they know where sport of that kind
may be Witnessed. As a consequence the
gymnasium of the San Francisco Athletic
Club was thronged to the doors last night,
the occasion being the regular monthly
exhibition.
There were four bouts on the card, and
another was added for full measure. OF
these only two Went the limit There was
more hard hitting ana glNe-anG-take bOA-
ing than would bc shown at couple OF
championship fights. The youngsters all
stood up to their work, and never tiinched
even IN the face OF certain defeat.

and IL was only question as to which
could stay on his feet the longer.
Jim Terry and Toby Irvine, two stOckily
built boys, were the next brace in the
ring Terry Was the smaller one, and
showed gamenesS worthy a better cause.
They went at il hammer and tOngs, Terry
scoring a clean knockdOwn in the first
round. In the second both tried hard, but
at long range and no damage resulted;
Terry had a decided lead in the third
round until his opponent commenced TO
play for his body. The latter kept at his
defeat.
Irvine showed 10 decided advantage un-
til near the end of the fifth round. He
had knocked Terry down several times,
but the latter was aggressive and would
not stop. Terry seconds finally came 10
his rescue throwing up the sponge.
Jack Duffy and Charles FrederiCkS went
but portion OF one round. Fredericks
was the stronger, knocking his opponent
down four times Alec Greggains stopped
the bout saying Duffy was not fit TO en-
ter such severe competition. lie was
loudly applauded for this humane act. AS

six rounds of desperate going the bout

Long soon had a typical ''scrapper's dial'

many hues but left the ring apparently
uuharmed.
The special bout between Jack Nc
NIahOu and Gene MUlliEan was awarded
the former on points. For five rounds il
was mild boxing, but in the sixth both cut
loose. Mcmahon had AJulligan rocking
uusteadily ON his legs when some one sig
nailed the end of the round. Spectators
and boxers alike were surprised, and, not
inc that a mistake had been made, the
men went at il again. The brief respite
saved Mulligan. He was in trouble until
the END of the bout, but was full of fight
al all times.
The attendance was unusually large.
Alec Greggains refereed all the bouts and
kept the boxers up to their work.

MACKLIN ON
TENRICA IN
GOOD LUCK
The Only Outsider to Score.
Two Very Close Fin
ishes at Oakland.

1t looked as if five straight favorites
might win al Oakland yesterday, but
Whaleback broke the slate when Tenrica
led him out. A gale blew over the course
the track was slow but not muddy, and
the attendance the lightest Of the week.
Eddie Jones, astride the favorite, Sy-
baris, took the opening six furlong sprint
for all ages, through superior jockeyship.
Devin, on Major Cook, sifted along out in
front with his mount under restraint to
the stretch. He then decided to cut away,
but was collared by Jones, and in a long,
hard drive lost the verdict by nose. My
Dear finished third.
The dash for two-year- which fol-
lowed over the Futurity course, resulted
in another nose finish, the favorite, Es-
sence, piloted by Thorpe, earning the de-
cision. Quickest away from the barrier,
Jones skipped off in the lead with Druid
ess, and it was only by the hardest kind
of riding that Thorpe got up in time to
score. Bamboulia, clumsily rated by
Songer. ran into show. The other start
ers were ragged assortment.
For the mile event, decided under selling
conditions, Macklin, on Tenrica, tucked
IN. 1t was stubbornly contested affair
from the start, the. field running well
punched. A fuflong from the stand, with
Weber astride Monrovia riding hard,
Whaleback, with Thorpe in the saddle,
the latter ran out just enough to allow
Macklin to squeeze through on the rail
with Tenriea, beating the favorite a neck.
Show honors fell to Oraibee.
Outclassing his company shoes to plates,
Pat Morrissey, at prohibitive odds, came
IN an easy winner of the six and half
furlong selling affair Pat is good enough
to line up with better horses and deserves
no credit for the victory. Socialist led
Wyoming over the line for the place. New
Moon, again compelled to grapple with
n ral rl1a esfr af11z how
she stopped.
Betting on the free handicap. over a
mile, the closing number on the. card,
seemed to be nervous and uneven. Mamie
G closed a clammy first choice, with the
wise ones setting their coin in on Ring
master Ward, on the favorite, took no
chances from the start Hustling the
black mare away in the lead, he was
never headed, defeating Ships half a
length, driving hard. A sixteenth from
home Ringmaster swerved in toward the
rail, running whatever chance he pos
sessed of capturing the long end Of the
purse.

A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Why f. II. Dakin Congratulates Him
self on a Splintered Thighbone.

F. H. Dakin, a mine owner of Shasta
County, has gone to his home in Kennett.
after having spent several days under a
doctors care in this city.
The reason of Mr. Dakins visit to San
Francisco was to receive surgical treat
ment for a splintered thighbone, the in
jury being the result of fall from a
horse that nearly cost the gentleman his
life.
A few days ago Mr.. Dakin started. IN
company with mining expert, to inspect
some properties in which he is interested
on the upper Sacramento River. The trip
was made on horseback and led the two
gentlemen over some very dangerous
mountain trails.
While traversing the most ticklish part
of the route the cinch of Mr.. Dakin's sad
die suddenly burst and the horse he was
on bolted There was nothing for the un-
fortunate rider to do but TO stay and at
tempt to keep the affrighted animal in the
middle of the narrow trail, which was bor-
dered on one side by precipitous cliffs and
on the other by precipices ranging from
1900 to 1900 feet in depth. The horse sud
denly turned sharp corner on the trail,
and Mr. Dakin, saddle and all, was
thrown off on the precipice side. He struck
on the ground with his legs hanging over
down for over thousand feet without
one ledge, shrub or boWlder projecting
from its sides which might have served TO
arrest his progress to eternity had he
been thrown six inches further.
Dakin's companion came a. once to his
assistance and dragged him TO a safer
position, where an examination revealed
the injuries which made the recent trip to
this city a necessity.
Though it will be several weeks before
Mr. Dakin is entirely well. he considers
| himself one to be congratulated rather
than one to be cOndoled with.
