principally instrumental in driving

were ravagiDg most of Europe. BY his
victories in war and peace this man
endeared himself to the people and

it would be in English. To the present

With only two days more to go in
the race for the second series of The
Calls gold prizes, the contestants are
making heroic efforts to win the big
purses. Interest still centers in the
three leaders. each Of whom has a
burning desire 10 win first prize,
purse of $500, and 1t is a great ques
ton who will win IT
Miss Merani, who claims Oakland as
her home and the whole of California
and Nevada as her field to work in, is
still at the head OF the procession. For
this distinction she is most especially
indebted TO the enterprising and patri4
otic countrymen of her father, Sig. Joe
Merani, a native Of sunny Italy, who
enjoys the friendship and confidence
OF the Italian population on the Pacific
Coast.
Miss Merani gained $4,000 votes yes

over 10000 IN the last three days, and

Miss Merani at the present writing,
has a total Of 265, 900 and will undoubt-
edly pass the 100000 mark before the
end Of the week. But she has not been
progressing at such giant strides as has
the college during the last three days,
and unless she makes enormous gains
today and tomorrow the college Will
beat her to the goal for the $500 prize.
The college registered a gain of 3D.

Of the city Of Berkeley and therefore
is stanch advocate of Berkeley as
the State capital. Mrs. Doherty, on the
other hand, is an earnest adherent to
the cause OF retaining the capital at
Sacramento She wants her home city
not only 10 have and TO hold the capi-
tai of the State, but also share the
glory Of winning the capital prize in
the gold prize contest.
Up to a few days ago Mrs. Dohertys
chances to win the $500 purse seemed
excellent Now the feeling is growing
that both the State capital and the
gold capital prize are slipping away
from Sacramento But all is not yet
lost to the capital city The people of
the State must decide whether the seat
Of government shall remain there, and
in any event ii will remain there for
some time to come. and it is just posi-
bic that in the final showdown Mrs.
Doherty viii have enough votes to
yank the big purse, Notwithstanding
the odds that now appear to be against
her.
OTHERS ON THE MOVE
Miss Breschini of Blanco continues TO
roll up the votes at an amazing rate,
having yesterday made gain of 16, 600,
leaving her rival for fourth place, Miss
Hayward, far in the rear. Miss Hay
wards gain for the day was 1850.
Gladys Adcock, the little crippled
refugee, who has returned from Capt.
tola and is again sick abed and may
have to undergo another surgical ope-
ration, has recaptured thirteenth place
from Mrs. Tracy and son. No. 13 seems
to have particular attraction for Miss
Adcock. She lives in cottage 13, camp
13. and If she can hold thirteenth place
in the contest for two days longer she
will win a prize OF $40. NShe might
have worse luck than that.
Mrs Ellen Smith of Walnut Creek,
by gain Of 1900, moved up two de-
grees TO No. 26, just outside the prize
winning limit Mrs. Smith is an elderly
widow in poor circumstances and is
trying very hard to win some of the
prize money She won prize of $40 in
the first period of the contest and hopes
to be no less fortunate this time.
