such a surprise, as the commander in

and these implements of his favorite

On the other side from the golf
sticks, however, was a riding saddle
and a bundle of polo sticks. Water
polo might have been accepted as a navy

different story, and one of the visitors

Of Fiesta
Visitors in City

San Francisco felt the first big result
of the Portola festival and it's meaning
to the outside world yesterday, when
thousands of travellers swarmed
through the city seeking accommoda-
tions for the festivities that are to be-
gin tomorrow morning. They came by
land and sea. Three ships, the NJ F.
Plant from Coos bay, the President
from Seattle and the st. Croix from
San Pedro, brought in more than 1000
passengers. The trains outdid the trav-
elers by water. Particularly from in
terror points, within a radius of 100
miles, the trains were crowded to
standing ROOM 1t is impossible to es-
innate how many persons arrived.
Rooms in the downtown hotels. be-
cause of reservations made weeks be-
fore, are now almost impossible to be
had by incoming strangers. SO well
has the information bureaus at the
water front and at Third and Market
streets, coupled with the endeavor of
the hotels to see that everybody is ac-
commodated, done their work that no
difficulty is being found in placing all
of the visitors. San Francisco has more
hotels now than at any time in its
history. The Portola committee said
yesterday that $4,000 strangers were in
the city, and yet all were being well
cared for. The informataion bureau,
under the guidance of John McDermott,
for number of years chief clerk of
the Palace hotel, canvassed the city.
and Afnows every apartment house and
private residence where visitors to the
festival may be properly taken care of.
The streets of the city are crowded
with strangers, and a car conductor on
one of the well patronized downtown
lines said that practically every fare he
had collected during the day was from
stranger.

Launches Unable
To Garry Crowds

For the first time in many years
the launchmen engaged in business
along the water front had more busi-
ness offered them yesterday than they
could handle The fine day had sume-
thing to do with it, but the big at
traction was the presence in the har-
Dor of the seven warships represent
ing five foreign navies. From early
morning until dark the bulkheads from
Washington street to Folsom were
thronged as they have. not been since
the Atlantic fleet was here, and on
some of the foreign ships visitors were
climbing the gangway before the crew
had well finished breakfast.
The welcome sign was out every
where. Five thousand Japanese tried
to visit the Idzumo. They had char
tered two big launches and the gov
ernment inspectors had a hard tuss1e

on the carrying capacity was not ex-

nationalities all wanting to see their
own ships, and the other hundreds of
natives who wanted to see all the ships.
Inspectors from the steamboat In
spection service and the United States
customs were specially detailed to see
that there was no overcrowding of
launches. AS they did their work well
no accident marred the day.
To handle the crowds between the
ferry and Folsom street, Captain Wall
of the harbor station sent out a spe-
cial detail and every policeman was
pleased when time came to report off
duty. The launchmen also were tired,
but their toll had its compensa tions,
which were sufficient. in a measure,
to make up for the pain they suffered
in being compelled ~ refuse money.

the Ocean Shore railway and automo-

Captain a Fighting Man

Captain Fitzherbert, who modestly
declined to discuss himself, wears sew
eral decorations gained by acts of per-
sonal bravery. The British navy regis
ter makes note of one incident in his
career which occurred when he was
commander of the Algerine, the same
Algerine that now forms part of his
fleet. The Algerine at that time was
engaged in the duty OF suppressing the
slave trade. In command of an expedi-
tion in two pulling boats Captain Fitz-
herbert gave chase to an Arab dhow
loaded with blacks intended for the
slave market. Both boats capsiZed and
ali the arms but one rifle and four re-
volvers went to the bottom of the sea.
Under his directions the boats were
righted, baled out and the chase re-
sumed. The dhow meanwhile had run
ashore and landed its cargo of human
ity, but Captain Fitzherbert landed his
men and succeeded in rescuing 27 of
the slaves.
