Model Yacht Stella a winner.

AS was expected, Louis Petersen's s
speedy model yacht Stella won the
Dickfe Cup at Spreckels Lake in Gold
en- Gate Park yesterday. Nose Lon
don's Cricket. holder. and J.. Brannon's s
Alice were also in the competition. The
former proved the contender. The
Cricket won the first race. with a
slight breeze prevailing. After this the
wind freshened up Il bit and the Stella
won the next three heats, giving her
the much-coveted trophy The wind
throughout was light. the good time
made being due to the fact that the
wind was from the southwest, which
necessitated only two tacks.
There was some dissatisfaction over
the timing. but it. is not expected a
protest will be fled The last three
heats were exceedingly close, the sec
ond being won by one second. The re-
suits follow:
First heat-Cricket (4:c3} won, Alice 4.45)

HERE To TALK
WITH MANAGER
Colonel w. C. Greene, Noted
Mining Magnate, Is Paying
This City a Short Visit

Colonel W. C Greene, the noted New
York mining promoter and president Of
several big enterprises In Mexico and
the southwestern part of this country
among them the Greene Consolidated
Copper Company, which has recently
been the object OF number of bitter
attacks from various sources, arrived
here yesterday from the East and is
staying at the Palace Hotel. Colonel
Greene was in Southern California sew
eral weeks ago, but went East on q hur-
ried business call, while his wife came
TO this city TO await his return. Arriv-
ing here yesterday simultaneously with
the colonel, but from another direction,
was A {. Bernard, manager of the
Greene Copper Company. He has come
here TO confer with Colonel Greene re-
garding their business affairs.
This is the first visit Colonel Greene
has paid to San Francisco for many
years. He expects to remain here for
about a week and will then return to
New York to continue a refutation of
the recent. stories circulated regarding his
mining properties, and which he claims
are nothing but the spiteful work of his
enemies, Of whom the colonel frankly ad-
mits he has a number. OF the recent
attack made upon him by Thomas Law
son OF "Frenzied Finance" fame, and his
meeting later with Lawson in Boston,
where 1t was expected the two men
would engage in a duel. Greene had little
TO say yesterday further than to remark
that Lawson is all right in a way, but
that some of his broad charges of cor
.ruption among the leading financiers Of
the country have to be accepted with
some degree of doubt.
It is said by Colonel Greene's friends
that the fight being made by his enemies
IN New York against him is for the pur-
pose OF depressing the stock Of his Anexi-
can properties and freezing him out Of

Grace Hayward. a well-known actress. VINO

II was a mere slip of a girl, said MISS
Hayward land Clara Morris was playing
to crowded houses at theh Chicago Opera

a housemaid and run to Miss Morris as she
succumbed to a dose of poison at the ell
max of the drama she was playing, pick up
the fan the actress was to drop, and then
bend over Miss Morris. with hands clasped

: Corrupted Canaries.
From the New York Times.


Two canary birds appear in the first act
of Leah Kleschna" and help to give atmos-
phere to the lodgings of the Kleschnas in
Paris. The birds made their debut on the
stage when Mrs. Fiske produced the play
last December in New York, and have been
with the company during its four months
in the Manhattan Theater They have now
begun their first road tour. The stage
fright which all novices suffer made them
a bit nervous at first, but it is said they
have become accustomed to their surround
ings and appear to think that they have
attained an pathological Nirvana where
all tradition as to the time for waking and
sleeping is upset. The night of their debut
the birds went to roost a sunset and great
was their dismay at being set in the glare
of the footlights two hours later. They
futtered and hoped about in intense ex-
element, but as part of the business of
the play Is for Schram (William b. Mack

slumbers was not altogether unpleasant.
After the first two performances the birds
began to get used to their new mode of
life, and now they refuse to go to roost

The Hackett Burglar.
From the Cleveland Leader.


The worries of father are not all they
are pictured in the comic papers. but they
are quite as exasperatng, so James K.
Hackett is learning. Before her last star
ring venture with Nancy Stair" failed in
New York Mary Mannering Hackett told
this story of his lordship. her husband:
Last autumn some thieves came one
night and stole some brass fittings on our
stoop. The next night they came and stole
some of the ironwork. 1t was rather bold
and certainly annoying. A report of the
occurrence was printed in the newspapers
and then it seemed that report was read by
every friend we happened to meet the next
few days. They all laughed about 1t and
were incredulous enough to ask who in
vented the story. Mr.. Hackett was furious;
L was indignant.
The next night we did not go to bed till
late; in fact, it was so very late. l am
sorry to confess, it was nearly daylight,
when we heard noise downstairs in the
areaway.
IN get them this time, said Mr.. Hack
EFT as he grabbed a revolver loaded for the
occasion and rushed downstairs.
Soon l heard him calling up softly
Come down; bring a light and arm your
self
II obeyed; that is, lit a candle and pick
ed up a golf stick; it was the only formi-
dable weapon 1 found In the room, but 1
haven't the slightest idea what l thought
EFT in the basement he had the window COW
cred with his revolver. while 1 locked the
side door to prevent the burglar escaping
that way. We were both in our night
clothes, and presume looked rather deter
mined. Then Mr.. Hackett said in a loud
tone:
Come In now: I've got you covered
THE window was slowly raised and the
mlkman set one quart of milk on the sill.
Mr.. Hackett lowered his pistol.
You're taking big chances delivering
milk that way. said Mr.. Hackett.
And what do you think that milkman
said? Why. that we were also taking big
chances in showing loadel pistols in peo-
pies faces.
Then we went upstairs, and in about
half an hour there was another noise in
the basement. Mr.. Hackett was for going
dowa again. but l remonstra ted.
Don't L said, remember there is the
babys milk yet to come. Well, that's all
there was of it, except that our stoop is
not yet repaired"

encounter he had in New Orleans some
