taken on ballast and was ready to re-
turn to Shields Captain Mcleod wired
that fact to his friend Captain Nc
Cliesh, who was then at Reval and
ready to sail on his return to England.
The shilling which Captain Mcleod
had spent in having Mr.. Philip Thomp-
son insure his safe passage from Got
tenburg to Shields did not appear such
a bad investment that night of the
twentieth of October when the Cur
lew, enveloped in as thick fog as
ever crawled over the German ocean,
tossed in an ugly swell off the north
east coast of Scotland
That Captain Mcleod was a care
full. conscientious skipper was evil
denced by the fact that when night
added it's blackness to the fog he
would trust the helm to no one save
himself. He telegraphed SO frequent
ly to the engineer that he must have
been navigating with great care, but
accidents will happen to the most
careful, and the Curlew took the
ground with jar which threw the
mate PROSTATE on the deck.
Sailors and stokers rushed on deck
panic-stricken, for grounding on that
part of the Scotch coast meant, usual

There's ma use in standing by her."

With remarkable luck or skill Cap
tain Mcleod piloted his shipwrecked
crew over that ugly swell safely into
a small fishing harbor and then it was
that Mr.. Philip Thompson heard that
the Curlew was lost, and smiled, and
old seamen visiting Lloyds in London
read of the wreck and, shaking their
grizzly heads, wondered what a ship
bound for Shields was doing so far to
the north.
Capt: Mcleod was not the only nav
ieator who, for some reason, lay a
course to the northward. When the
Moray came out of the Baltic instead
Of clearing sou-west, or even west,
Captain McCliesh pointed her nose

Mr.. Philip Thompson was astound-
ed to receive the news that the steam

with the Curlew in tow, having pulled
her off the shore on the northeast
coast of Scotland. That the news was
not altogether welcome to Mr.. Thomp-

RENDERED VERDICT IN RHYME
Foreman Of Texas Jury "Dropped"
Into Poetry,

Into Poetry.
A correspondent calls our attention
to an interesting verdict which was
rendered in the District Court of
= TT Travis M county, Tex, ia 1857: The de-
fendant, Frank B. RafeT;; Al tslhdt time
a well known citizen of Austin, was
accused of gambling, which was not
regarded as a very serious offense in
Texas in those early days, especially
If the offender chanced to be q prom
inent citizen. The prosecution was
generally treated as pleasant jest,
but was nevertheless carried through
lawyers brought in the following ver-
dict:
We, the jury, lawful men,
Fine the defendant dollars ten;
A guilty man beyond all doubt,
Let the defendant pay himself out.
Thus we've said this freezing morn.
Your obedient servant, A. o. Horne,
Foreman.
The composition of this verdict is
attributed to A. W. Terrell, who at
the time of his service on the jury
was young lawyer. Afterward he
attained great distinction in practice,
served as a District court judge, aid
was United States minister to Tpr-
key under President Cleveland. Other
members of the same jury who afteT-
ward achieved renown were Charles
S. West, who rose to be justice of
the Texas Supreme court, and F. w;
Chandler, who became one of the lead
ers of the Texas bar-Law Notes.

ANOTHER DOUBLE
DEFEAT FOR SEALS
ANGELS WIN TWO MORE AT
SAN FRANCISCO
BAUM HAS A LUCKY DAY
On the Mound Against Whalen, but
Holds Men of Harris Down for
Vletory-Tozer Allows
One Hit
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4--The sun
was keyed up to tropic strength today
and limbered UP the arms of the South
rons enough to enable them to take
the second double header this week
from the Seals.
This morning Baum and Whalen
clashed and for once fortune favored
the unlucky youngster, the final score
being to 1.
But the afternoon game was the real
thing. Tozer pitched a mo hit" game
to the ninth inning, when with one to
go, Spencer got a f1uky single over
second, going to second on a poor
throw. The only other Seal to get a
life was Waldron, who was passed in
the first inning and died on first.
The Angel band got their single tally
in the fourth on singles by Dillon and
Ross and Wheeler's muff of Brashear's S
hard chance.
In five innings the Seraphs had men
on bases, but Roy Hit was pitching
some ball himself and was we'll backed
on the bases Dillon was the only one
to wing his way in safety and Parke
Wilson was close enough to SINCE the
| feathers as he went by.
In the seventh inning Ross reused
the people to almost pandemonium by
running over Bernard and stabbing
Hildebrand's long fly with his left mitt
| just as the ball was touching the grass
tops in the center garden.
There will be a lull in operations
until Friday, when the Oaklands re-
turn from their northern trip and play

SUTTON SISTERS
CROSS RACQUETS
FLORENCE DEFEATS VIOLET
IN CLOSE CONTEST
G0WAN WINS JUNIOR SINGLES
Ocean Park Country Club Tournament
Ends With Exciting Finals
Played Before Thou
sand People

The finals of the tennis tournament
which has been held at the Ocean Park
Country club courts during the past
week were finished yesterday. With
the courts in the finest possible condi-
tion and with thousand gaily dressed
spectators to cheer them on, all the
players were on their mettle and the
result was some of the most interesting
sets ever played in Southern California.
In the semi-finals of the ladies' sim
giles the Sutton sisters were not called
upon to exert themselves, for Mrs.
Bruce defaulted to Florence Sutton and
Eleanor Peralta lost to Violet, CO. 60
The finals, however, proved to be the
most exciting match of the day, for
while it is an established fact that no
one but Sutton can beat a Sutton, it
is not so easy to pick a winner when
the sisters cross racquets. However,
Florence Sutton finally conquered her
sister, GO, 2-6, Ga.
iii hHS NlOiSl OullOtl,
however, revenged herself upon her
fortunate sister when she and Sinsa-
baugh won from Florence Sutton and
German with the easy score of 6-1, 60.
In the semi-finals Of the mems singles
Braly beat Williams, 6-1, 6-3, whine
Bundy ran up the score of GA, GA over
German. In the finals Braly had every
thing his own way, and the best that
Bundy could do was 6-2. 60. 6-2.
The junior singles were won by A
]. Gowan from Frank Buttolph in
straight sets of s-6. 6-1. The first of the
play looked very much as though But
tolph was slated for the honors. but
after the first set he seemed to go to
pieces and Gowan had no difficulty In
landing the decisive game.
Aside from the battle royal between
the Sutton sisters in the ladies' singles
the match of the day was undoubtedly
the final of the mems doubles, when
Braly and Sinsabaugh won from Va
riel and Way, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, s-6. UP to
the very last it looked like Ave game
match. And it was more luck than
anything else that gave the deciding
set to Braly and sinsabaugh.

HENLEY, Eng, July 4.-Brilliant
weather, great attendance ashore and
afioat and fair rowing conditions
marked the opening of Great Britain's
annual water festival. Outside the
grand challenge cup for which the Ves-
pers of Philadelphia and the Belgian
crew were competing there was little
of interest in the regatta. The racing
started with the first heat of the
grand challenge cup, in which the
Leanders, on whom the British pin all
their hopes of retaining the trophy in
England, won practically as they liked
from Jesus college, Cambridge, The
Belgians won an easy victory from the
Thames Rowing club. Then came the
big event of the day, the heat for the
grand challenge cup, in which the
Americans led all the way and defeated
a strong Cambridge collegiate crew. All
anticipations regarding todays heats
for the grand challenge cup were thus
fulfilled, except the Christ college gave
the Vespers a harder rowing than was
expected. A slight wind toward Nhe
Berks shore gave the Americans, who
had the Berks side, a slight advantage
The Vespers got well away, led al
most Immediately and at the quarter
distance were more than a length in
front while at the half way post the
Americans were leading two lengths
AT that point the Cambridge men made
a splendid spurt and steadily over
hauled the Philadelphians until there
was only length between the boats.
The Vespers stroke quickened, the
crew gamely responded and the Amer
leans completed furnishing finish with
the advantage of full boats length in
the best time OF the three heats. Both
crews showed the effects of the sharp
struggle.
The Americans started with slower
stroke than either Of the winners in
the previous heats Leander got off at
Al and the Belgians at 46 while the
Vespers struck 40 to the minute The
Philadelphians appeared to be working
hard from the outset so that when half
the distance had been reached the
