CHAPTER XVIII.
The Auction of Women.

After the noise had somewhat sub
sided and order had been restored,
the crier announced that an allotment
of women would then take place.
AS was the usual custom, upon the
arrival of manageable females into
the community, ballotting for the priv
ilege OF claiming mate was about to
take place. AS explained by the crier
there were eighty-three men who had
registered their intention of competing
for wife. The mode of procedure was
very simple; into a basket were
placed as many slips of paper as there
were competitors; but as there were
but twenty women, SO also there were
but twenty numbers, the balance Deing
blanks. The numbered tickets alone
gave the holder privilege of choosing
his mate. The women could refuse to
marry the person who asked for their
hand only by accepting some other
person. The matter of choice, then
was slightly limited, and often led 10
the buying and selling of chances.
AS the numbers were being placed
in the basket, Lang said: place me
on the list"
"And me-" said Wilson.
Take your places with the other
contestants, then" replied the king.
Lang and Wilson did so. Each read
the others thoughts; either If sue
cessful would ask Pearl Huntington
to be his wife; there was no doubt
in their minds that she. too. would
be forced to enter the lists.
The crier held aloft his basket. "In
this basket" he said, ARE twenty
numbers and sixty-three blank slips.
Those only who obtain numbered
tickets have the privilege of choosing
a wife. Ready"
"One moment" interrupted Golden,
speaking at the people and at the
same time to Schiller. THE crier an

owner of successful slip can be the

ton, she is in Paradise; if she belongs
here, if she remains here, she should
become a citizen. AS a citizen she
has a right to make a choice. | de-
mand that she be put upon the list!
The king, if he wishes to enter the
contest, can have the same oppor-
tunity as the rest of the citizens. l

FUTURITY HAS OPEN LOOK.

NEW YORK. Aug 24.-It is doubtful II
there was ever Futurity more of an un-
certainty than the one to be decided on
Saturday at Sheepshead Bay. Already
bookmakers are offering five to one on
the field and there are no takers even at
those inviting figures.
There viii be from sixteen to twenty
starters. Vendor has been beaten more
times than he has won. Woolwich has
won but about one race. Flip Flap has
won race or two and has been beaten.
First Water has been laid on the shelf
and is an unlikely starter Jerry Wern-
berg has disappointed many times after
working well. Accountant has run good
and bad races. Esoteric has done little
to recommend him. yet he might be a
good horse and hard to beat Belmere
has been sold by Madden, who does not
always sell a Futurity winner.
Kuroh performed SO mserably in his
last race that Rowe turned on him with
disgust when he came back to the pad
dock. Athlete is q maiden but a promis-
ing colt. OrmOndale is a. probability, yet
his races have not been of particular i'm
portance. Running Water is only q good
selling platter. Inquisitor cannot be much

not be nearly as good as Belmere or Bur-
lew would not have contracted the latter
If he believed his own good enough to

form, though well tried In the early
spring. Bridgeman is speedy. but has not
shown disposition to stay route. Tim
ber is as fast as a streak, but has stopped
after going half a mile in two races.
Both of these races, however, were run
on circular track and this may have
had something to do with his stopping.

FILM WILL BE LONGEST
EVER DEVELOPED HERE
Three Cameras Will Be Installed to Prevent a
Break in the Continuity Of Photos
Of the Lightweight Fight

Manager Jim Coffroth signed contracts
with Miles Brothers yesterday for the
moving pictures which will be feature
of the Britt-Nelson fight at Colma on
Admission day. Coffroth hires the firm
to take the pictures and the films will be
delivered to him. He Will have them
copyrighted and will then dispose of them.
Coffroth pays Nelson $1,000 for his one
third interest, Britt retaining his one
third share In the venture.
If the fight lasts forty-f1ye rounds
IL, 200 feet of films or two and one-half
miles will be required to get an impress
sion of all the incidents which will take
place in the ring. At fifteen cents per
foot the film alone Will cost $3.50. This
is by far the longest Photographic film
ever brought TO California. In order to
be ready in case anything goes wrong
with one camera, there will be two others
held in reserve to be pressed into SER
vice at a moments notice.
The fighters are to be ready to step
from their dressing rooms at 1:30 o'clock
on the day of the fight. The fight is set
for p. m. Ten minutes before that time
the picture machine will be set in mo-
tion to catch all the incidents preceding
the fight. If the pictures prove failure
owing to defective light or other condi-
tfons the venture will cost Coffroth
$500.
II the pictures are a marked success
they will return a fortune to their own
ers. They will be an especial attrac-
ton in all the small theaters through
out the world
Instead of an outer fence of boards
g barbed wire affair will be erected to
keep out those who want to beat the
gate at Colma. Inside this obstruction
there will be men armed with rifles,
while outside some men on horseback
viii keep back all intruders.
The advance applications for seats
are so numerous that Manager Coffroth
has already increased the seating ca
pacity of the amphitheater. Each speo-
tator is allowed $50 square inches of
space. Two sides of the fence are al
ready in place, and 800 wagon-loads of
lumber are on the ground.
Prospective referees were out In
force last night, each with his light
ming rod in place and hoping the ap-
pointment would strike him. long
session is expected tomorrow. when
the representatives of the principals
wYll meet to name the man for the i'm
portant post.

NELSON VISITS THE PRISON.
Spends the Day With the Guards at San
Quentin.

LARKSPUR, Aug. 24.-This was San
Quentin day in Battling" Nelson's
camp and Larkspur did not see much Of
him. Those that came to Larkspur ex-
pecting TO see him do his gymnasium
work this afternoon were disappointed,
as he did not enter the gymnasium.
Only those staying till a late hour this
afternoon had an opportunity Of con-
versing with the Dane, and then only
for a few minutes. The day was prac-
tically taken up with his roadwork and
visit to San Quentin. In company with
Manager Nolan, Bob Lundie, Charlie
Nelson and a couple of others, Bat left
Smiling Metzner's at $3.50 a. m. In an
hour and ten minutes they reached San
Quentin Prison. They took a short rest
in front of the prison and Nelson was
kept busy introducing the members Of
his party to his numerous friends
among the officers and guards of the
prison They were all pleased to see
him and to converse with him upon diff
ferent subjects. AS Bat puts it, Il am a
forty-second timer here and why
should they not know me-" During his
residence in this county he has been a
frequent visitor at the prison, often
bringing friends with him to go
through the institution. Bats old and
tried friend, Papa" Charlie Jones, one
of the guards, was director general
during Bats WISH and made all the nee
essary arrangements for the entertain
ment of Bat and his party. In company
with Jones and Guard F. E. Armstrong
the party went through the prison.
The jute mill attracted the visitors.
The party received much attention from
the convicts as they passed through
the yards and shops. They all know
Nelson by sight, he having been fire.
quent visitor inside the yard. They
have naturally taken an interest In all
his fights, and IL he does not visit the
yard a short time before a fight they
feel that he will be unlucky To-day he
said: The poor boys confined here ex-
pect to see me before each fight and,
not that am superstitious intend to
visit the prison prior to each fight"
After going through the prison they
were entertained at luncheon.
They took a short rest after lunch
and spent a half-hour in conversation
with prison officials and guards Then
they started homeward, going by way
OF San Rafael. which is a distance of
nearly ten miles, making fifteen miles
for the days work. While covering the
last five miles Nelson remarked that
this was like a picnic to him and that
he felt rs fresh as a daisy. Nelson will
box three rounds with Bob Lundie on
the platform in the open air tomorrow
afternoon. 1t is expected that there
Will be many present to see him box.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.


Los Ang. 10 9 .52eiseattle -. 10 .44i
/ 1t was batting. day for the Commut-
ers at the Eighth street lot yesterday
afternoon. Every man on the team
with the exception of Byrnes and
Schmidt. had two or more bingles con-
cealed in his stick, and these were un-
loaded at times when men fingered on
the bases Roach was bombarded for
thirteen and the other seven were re-
corded against Fireman Fitzpatrick,
who had naught save a smile, and at
times he parted from this.
Every fan on the lot agreed that
Dunleavy figured to be crowned king
OF the occasion. Dun took five swings
at the leather. Once he hammered a
home run out over the right fence.
Another time he was there with a
triple and the other two times at bat
he spent in making singles. Right be-
hind him came Francks with three and
Graham with as many
The funny part of the struggle was
that the Siwashes did not make mis-
take in the field. Every man on the
team managed to get what was hit to
him, but as most of them were not hit
to that part of the lot where fielders
stood guard, 1t turned out that runs
came even without the asking.
Oakland opened right up with two in
the first inning on pair OF smart
singles by Francks and Kelly and Dun
leavy's three-cushion shot out to where
Old Glory waves in the center garden.
For an inning the Oaks tarried, but in
the third they grabbed another one.
They topped off their grand total with
four in the fifth and five in the eighth.
1t was during the latter mix-up that
Dunleayy copped off his homer. Two
men were waiting on the bases at the
time.
+ Graham might have shut the ST.
washes out without a look-in at the
pan had he wanted to pitch baseball.
He grew wild and erratic at times and
it was the bases on balls he passed out
which let the Siwashes roll up their
three runs. Houtz's double out to right
field in the sixth was the only hit in
the Seattle column that brought in any
runs. The score:

GARDNER AND RYAN TONIGHT.
Sensational Battle Is Expected When
They Meet at Colma

They Meet at Colma.
Buddy Ryan and Jimmie Gardner
will meet in the ring at Colma tonight
to battle for a guaranteed purse of
$500, with a privilege of 60 per cent
of the receipts. notwithstanding the
amount Of interest in the match be-
tween Britt and Nelson, the fight fans
are wide-awake to the fact that the con
test set for tonight will be one of the
best that has been seen In these parts
for many months
Both contestants took a rest yester-
day and were simply drying out Az
ter a limbering up run on the road
this morning they will break camp and
start for town. The time to weigh In
is set for o'clock this afternoon, when
they Will meet at Harry Corbett's. They
are to make 142 pounds. The Ryan
side of the contest say Gardner will
weigh fully as much as Ryan when
they go into the ring. George Gard
ner was In the city last night and said
that Jimmie was in the best OF shape
and would weigh less than lao pounds
when ne went into the ring
There was plenty of money in sight
last night to bet on Gardner, and the
odds were 10 to s. with the Lowell boy
fayorite. From his recent appearance
in the ring Gardner is better known to
the fight fans. He made a great i'm
preston when he knocked Rufe Turner
out at Colma three weeks ago. Ryan
had already made good when he de-
feated George Peterson.
The advance sale of seats up to last
night indicated that the house would
be much better than that drawn by
Gardner and Turner, which was the
banner night for the new club since
it started at Colma. The bout Ia sched-
uled for twenty-five rounds.
