New Cliff House Pavilion At

Something new, even for San Fran

launched on the ocean beach. In q
pavilion overlooking the sea and the
seal rocks. and even those grand old
fishermen. the seals themselves. hun
dreds OF young folk gathered, like
the children Of Hamlin town. to the
music OF the piper. and were carried
away with the merry strains.
Only-and this is where the Pied
Piper fairy story has to be abandoned
the young folk were not lured into
the sea and all that. but stayed right
on at the pavilion, just dancing and
dancing to their hearts delight.
The Idea of having dancing pavil-
ion on the beach where young folk
may come afternoons and evenings to
enjoy themselves in innocent diver
sion was the idea of Roy Caruthers
of the Cliff house. Dancing has been
a favorite diversion at beach resorts
for many moons. but a real Casino for
the young. free from all objections
dancing resorts that was brand new
In though is now a brand new reality.
The new pavilion stands on Cliff
avenue, midway between the Cliff
house and the Sutro baths. 1t over

IN RACE At DAWN

The golden ballast carried in the
hold of the Hillsborough society craft
was given surprising shift yester-
day In the early dawn. when Mrs.
Robert Hayne, riding Possibility
beat Mrs. FELTON, Elkins, on Meal
Ticket" by four lengths. Great Sc
crecy was maintained by the society
folk about this race. which had been
planned for some time, and on which
great sums were being wagered
Long before the sun touched the
horizon over the bay the elite OF
Hillsborough and Burlingame gath
ered at the Clarke racetrack near San
Mateo to see the exciting event Mrs.
Hayne had planned to ride Mystery
but the famous racehorse was unable
to run. and Possibility" another
racehorse with a record, was sub
stituted against the fleet Meal
Ticket"
Meal Ticket was favorite in the
betting, due to his fame both locally
and In the halcyon days of Emery
vile. He has defeated nearly every
thing the peninsula society folk have
pitted against him. But the track
was muddy and slippery. 1t took
Possibility Just SO seconds tor go
round the half mile track. and the
best Meal Ticket" could do was to
follow four lengths behind.
Mrs. Hayne, the winner, Is q noted
equestrienne, and in Mrs. Elkins had
a match for skill and daring in the
saddle. Mrs Elkins later rode In the
hare and hound race over an eight
mile course and won third place. A
return match between the two is now
talked of.

Teaching Boy to Steal,

Abraham Sales. a second hand
being a modern Fagin. appeared be-
fore Judge William p Lawlor today
for arraignment and the case was put
over until tomorrow on a motion of
the defendants attorney.
Old, with grizzled locks and NOUS
tache, Sales sat in the dock and lis
tened imperturbably to Judge Lawlor
read a resume of his case. He was
convicted on December q of receiving
stolen goods.
His eyes. which at times seem to
half close in a squirt, roamed from
the judges face to those OF the people
in the courtroom. Half bent over he
fumbled with his hat idly and seemed
TO take little interest in the proceed
ings
LIKE DICKENS STORY
The story told BY Robertson reads
as II il were culled from Dickens.
He said that he was arrested and
accused or the theft of a banjo which
he had sold to Sales. The police he
declared sent for Sales who refused to
identity him.
Later when he was released for
lack Of evidence Robertson told Judge
Lawlor that Sales met him at the
entrance to the Hall of Justice and
said, You see have influence with
the police. ] can get you off. You
had better work for me-"
DENIED BY PRISONER

said. referring to Sales He told me
TO read books like 'Rafties and Study

story. He made 1t up to get proba-

Flock of Crows Spot
Diner and Follow 1t
Miles, Begging Food

The seagulls which have been fed
for years with crumbs tossed from
San Francisco bay ferry boats have
rivals.
Their rivals are not the seagulls
that follow trains across the Great
salt Lake, but a crew of crows. &C
cording to the story told today by an
Official of the Southern Pacific.
There is bevy or nest or family
whatever the term might be-of
crows near Hornbrook. Ore. on the
northern district OF the s. p, of
which d. W Campbell is general
superintendent. These crows have
gown fat on crumbs from passengers
and dining car employees.
The crows can spot a train that
carries a diner, and don't bother with
the local trains or freights. it is de-
clared. AS a dining car train pulls
in. they circle about the depot and
follow it, on its departure. for FIVE or
six miles.
The section gangs protect them, as
the birds tighten the work OF clean
ing the tracks.

Oil Placers.

A tract OF oil land in Ventura county.
Cal, was located as the IRA wlcy;'
placer In 1882 and as the "Schley'' placer
in 1910. The earlier !ocators had made
no discovery done no work. and were
not In possession at the time the later
location was made. Their claim OF right
was based upon the theory that the wells
which they We're drilling on adjoining
claims tended to develop the oil-hear-
Ing character OF tho Rawley claim. The
,Schley" locatcrs leased their claim, and
the lessee went into possession, COM
nenced drilling opera tions, and continued
TO work with due diligence, although at
the ttno OF commencing this action no
discovery had been made. Held that the
locators OF the Schley claim, being in
actual possession through their lessee
and prosecuting discovery work with due
diligence. had the better right and suf-
fclent grounds to maintain n quiet title
suit against the "Rawley" loca tors. The
statute permitting work done on one
