Han ea Wednesiay August 10th antf continue until Saturday October 15th in Southern Heights and Potrero taxpayers are very wroth because the Supervisors failed to award a contract at their last meeting to build a new drawbridge over Mission channel at Fourth street Their indignation was stronglr expressed at Friday nights meeting of the Southern Heights Improvement Club held at Raymonds Hall Napa and Wisconsin streets Richard Pengelly presiding The Fourth street drawbridge it was reported had been useless for three days and traffic was compelled to make a long detour and find other means of getting into the euy The Potrero horse cars were also forced to return when the draw was reached passengers being compelled to walk many blocks before they were abe to reach the Fifth street transfer cars The cause of all this inconvenience was a small schooner which had on Friday of the preceding week ran against the sill ot the draw and it being in a very rotten condition was immediately made useless Until Monday evening at 5 oclock travel was entlrelr suspended and this together with the failure of the Board ot Supervisors to award the con tract for the new steel bridge eaused the prop rty oxrneri to feel much aegTleved li St Germain A Raymond Davidson and William Donald were appointed a committee to wait on the Supervisors and ask them to reconsider their action It was reported that the Spring Valley Water Company had promised William Hollis and A Raymond for the club that a large independent water main would be laid from Seventeenth and Harrison streets and on Santa Clara Connecticut and apa streets into the Soutnern Heights district This was highly satisfactory to the members and it was said would give them a sufficient supply and pressure of water which they are now unable to obtain and would also reduce their insurance rates The committee to secure additional electric ngnts had seen Supervisor Taber and were informed that the lights would be granted and alio soon be in position The committee appointed to push the opening and grading for nine blocks on Napa street from Missouri to Kentucky reported that it was having a pro ale map made showing the various grades that would be encountered The demands of the club for fire alarm boxes on the heights cannot be granted by Supenuteudent Thomas of the fire alarm system owing to the smallness of his allowances Co place the needed signal boxes where desired would necessitate erecting poles from Kentucky street for half a mile to the district and would cost a considerable sum The paving of Kentucky street it was stated was being delayed through the neglect of the city to reconstruct the culvert over Islais erf ek for which purpose an appropriation has been made A Haywsrd chairman cf the Federated Improvement Gabs addressed the meeting on the necessity of united action on the pirt cf the taxpayers of the various districts and complimented the trero property owners upon the many improvements which are progressing in the neighborhood YETEKAKB HOME The New Canteen Reported to Be a Complete Bneoesa The board of directors of the Veterans Home Association held its regular monthly meeting in the Flood building yesterday afternoon James A Way mire presiding The report of Treasurer Royce recited that sufficient funds were on hand to piy all expenses for the current month lhe report also staged that the total amount paid for the construction and completion ot the canteen was 1393 IL Hobbert reported that the canteen had been a success from a financial standpoint and that ha expected good results in the future According to the report of the commandant ot the home there are 160 members enrolled as inmates The reports were all accepted and placed on file Applications for admission to the home were referred to the committee on sppiicatlons Judge Ham was elected member of tbe executive committee to nil the vacancy caused by the resignation of CKK Royce Collecting Delinquent Taxes A Nicholson special counsel for the collection of delinquent taxes for the yesrs 1884 1885 and 1886 has rendered his annusl report to the Board of Supervisors He has collected 544 04 He says there are two cases against the Western Union Telegraph Company now pending before the Supreme Court They involve large sums of money and several questions of great importance Mr Nicholson expresses his opinion that he will soon collect 4535 52 due from the Shlllaber estate The matter has been tested in the courts but still requires some additional litigation before collection may 1m made although Administrator Pennie lost the suit Sent to the Aaylnm Drs Wlndele and Belirge Commissioners of Insanity consigned Miss Mary McPoland yesterday to the asylum at Napa They consider her notwithstanding a contrary opinion of their colleagues and other physicians as undoubtedly insane She was confined in the Home of inebriates on Friday night and by her violence kept the matron up all night Dr Jewell gave it as his opinion that the girl is insane and was so when she was in the Home ot Inebriates before Yesterday the girl was perfectly quiet before the commissioners Death of a Polleeman Willi am Harper a special police officer who had ior five years been a night patrolman on Russian Hill died very suddenly of heart disease on Friday evening He lived on Hyde street between Green and Union end aeavea a family school of elocution About 8000 people sat in the fog and cold at the Height street grounds yesterday afternoon to watch the Commodores talented aggregation battle with the Dukes They all braved the frigid atmosphere and driv ing mist through eight and a half innings The enthusi astie crank of the fairer sex saw her bangs lose their curl in the fog but she did not mind It a lit tle bit She just sat there and yelled and grew enthusiastic Ctersoo passed for eight and a half innings and then with the score 7 to 4 in favor of San Jose snd apparently no possible chance for the Athenian swatters to bat out a victory nine tenths ot the rooters who had waxed warm with enthusiasm and cold with disappointment in the successive stages of the game pulled their coats and mufflers tight around their throats and sauntered forth into the cold world Thus the preponderance of the cranks missed the most exciting finish to a long drawn out agony that the most exacting admirer oi tne national pastime could wish for The Santa Clara haymakers did not win the game in nine Innings by the lopsided score of 7 to 4 They did win it however but only after an exciting struggle prolonged through three extra innings by the end of which It had grown se late and the log had so darkened the surrounding landscape that if another inning had been necessary it would have had to be played by candle light lfeQuciai maitt a lie As the score will show Turner and Mannasau not take pirt in yesterdays encounter witn the Dukes Their uniforms were worn by two of tbe Commodores Eastern importations Joe Csntil llon and Martin McQuaid Their participation in the afternoons exercise was quite an unexpected pleasure to the spectators as it bad been announced by the Commodore that hey would not commence operations until to day Notwithstanding the fact that they had arrived late the evening before after a tiresome journey across the comment they both played their positions well though they were not called upon to do much in tbe fielding line McQuaid secured his share ot hits and they eame at times when they were needed Cantilllon did not do much in tbe swatting line The Dukes were somewhat handicapped in the contest as Dooley was suffering with a lame leg and could scarcely limp around tbe held with sufficient agility to capture the balls that came his way Clark also was unfortunate He had his toes jammed beneath Wilsons spikes as the latter crossed the plate in a vain attempt to register a tally Dooley and Stallmgs changed positions two or three times during the progress of the game The Dukes secureil a run in each of the first and second innings and their opponents had the score tied by the third In the fourth the Dake young gentlemen put forth their best efforts and jolted little Jack Horners curves into the outlying precincts of the lot Iu the fourth inning alone they piled up six safe hits and five runs Dooley led off with a single past Hutchinson and after McVev had been retired on an infield fly by OBrien Stalling followed with a safe hit into Mc Quaids territory A single by Look abaugh filled the bases and with the next man up the tallies began to come in It was McGackens turn He pounded the ball out to center and Dooley and tailings cleared the rubber McGnckeu would have gone to second on the play had he not become tangled up with Carroll on the line McGucken took advantage of the incident to engage in an altercation with every one within speaking distance and particularly with Umpire Gagns whom he tried to persuade that he should be given a base The kick did not work and Unhappy Joe was compelled to nug tne nrst cusnion is bright was hit by a pitched ball and the basse were again hlled Clarks single to left brouaht in Lookabaugh and McGucken and Dennys inneia nv wnicn neither Horner nor Wilson could get under advanced bright tbe fit man to the plate In tbe last half the Oikhnds secured two on bunched hits and thus tbe score remained until the last naif of the ninth No one present Delieved the Oatlands were good enough to do the trick but thev were They tied tbe score and came within an ace of winning It was an uneventful inning Dooleys muff ot a fly in right field gave Cantilllon second base and lour balls placed Hutchinson on first 0 Brien went out on an infield fly and Fred Carroll followed with a long drive to the left field fence which scored Cantilllon and Hutchinson Carroll reached second on tbe hit And then something very funny took place Unhappy Mc Gukken upon eorraiing the sphere threw to the plate but it fought shy of Mr Clsrk and continued on until it collided with tne grand atand Clark scrambled after it and so did Lookabaugh But Carroll got around to third in safety A single byMcQuaid brought in Carroll and the score was tied Then the tenth inning hove in sight and the eleventh and still the score was tied The twelfth inning decided the game Everett led off with a two bagger to center held and with Dennys sacrifice to OBrien to dvance him to third and Dooleys sacrifice a long fly drive to left to bring him across the plate the winning run was made The Oaklands failed to

MXICZZAKXODS WANT A BAILROAD CLABEHDON HEIGHTS OWNEES ANXIOUS About 800 pretty plump pigeons met a sudden but comparatively painless death on the race track near Shell Mound Park yesterday afternoon Tbe birds were killed by marksmen most of whom belonged to the Country Club ottha Alameda Oun Clnb These two organizations were engaged in the first of a series of three matches for a 50 trophy As a pigeon shoot it was quite interesting The two clubs were represented by picked teams of ten men who proved vary evenly matched The Country Club led throughout the mejch except In the third round it is true Jrat the scores were so close at all tmes that the enthusiasm of the marksmen was well sustained la the last few rounds the Alameda Club made gains but was finally defeated yith 116 pigeons to its credit as against 119 birds slaughtered by the ten members of the Country Club A number of sportsmen gathered to watch the contest and remained throughout the afternoon watching the sport The spectators were well rewarded for some crack shots were made and two of the men came out of the contest with clean scores The first pigeon was tumbled out of the trap shortly after 2 oclock It was a white bird and quick on the wing It rose swiftly and nesdedT for the tops of some tall eucalyptus trees half a mile away but never got there A charge of shot lrom the first barrel fired by Walter Haskell struck the dove In behead end neck and brought it to earth in a lifeless heap From that moment until the close of tbe twelfth round the match want on with varying success In tbe third round the scores stood 23 to 23 Then the Alameda Club lost ground Later it regained much of this until in the twelfth round by killing eight birds to six dispatched by the Country Club team it brought the esoro up to 91 to S3 Then the fun commenced Everr man that went out upon the plank walk with his gun in his hands faced tbe traps with a grim determination to do his best Even Osborne of the Alameda Clnb caught the spirit of the thing When a bun pigeon that he had wounded with scattering shot from two barrels tried to run out of bounds Osborne dropped his gnn ana Deat me setter to tne spot where tbe bird was flapping itself ahead with ita broken wings Osborne caught the dove iu an hands and made haste to see that it was counted as one more dead In the fourteenth round Bosqui made a good shot A pigeon rose and started straight from the marksman The first barrel never ruined a feather and by the time the next was fired the bird had almost reached the bounds The aim was so remarkably true however that despite the distance the pigeon fell within bounds and never afterward moved a wing In the last round Haskell killed a hsrd bird completing a score of fifteen pigeons Wooster caught his pigeon on tbe first shot also making a clean scarce for the match Barney of the Alameda Club killed fourteen of the fifteen birds and made some emarkably good shots Following is a summary of the score
