He came up here to play In the Oakland Symphony tonight, and he commented he only takes a plane when there's no train. There were almost as many train buffs at the Townsend Street station to meet the Lark today as there were aboard the train, and most of them carried cameras. One of these was Dick Tal-my, 25, of 598 Belvedere who took pictures last night also when the other Lark left San Francisco, with many of the SP employes, including dining car porters, there to see it off.

FAREWELL POEM Another was Earl (Trig ger) Mathews, of San Jose, conductor who brought the Lark up here yesterday for the last time. He started working for SP in 1929, and for the last seven years he has been a Lark conductor. ne even wrote a poem called "Farewell to the Lark," which ends: "All we can say as we go our way, Farewell to the Lark with all its glory. We thank you for your memories and your wonderful, wonderful story." As he sees it, his job won't be much of a lark anymore. "I'll be on the commute run from here to San Jose.

I'll take the 5:14 out tonight. I'm very sad about it," he said. Some 300 persons six times the usual number arrived here this morning on a sentimental journey aboard the Lark. It was the last run from Los Angeles for the famous overnight train, put into service by Southern Pacific in 1910, in an era when the Pullman was the hallmark of luxury and the Lark was the only way to fly. The Lark's twin made the southbound trip last night and the two Larks passed each.

RAIL FANS The bulk of the passengers were rail fans, including members of the Davis Railroad Club, who argued late into the night about who shot down the Lark. The passengers claimed SP management shot it down by clipping its wings, cutting its service so that few rode it. JETS BLAMED But SP personnel, including conductor R.

W. Hern-don, who brought the train up from San Luis Obispo, blamed the passengers, or more specifically the lack of them. "We hate to see the Lark go," he said, stepping off the train. "We had about 300 passengers last night.

As oncoming drivers swerved wildly to avoid her, she plugged steadily along to the intense frustration of two California Highway Patrolmen who spotted her, but whose cars were traveling in the same direction, but on the other or correct side of the divider fence. Finally CHP officer James Olinick, who was on the right ALTO MAGNIN side, managed to turn around and pursue her, but she moved on steadily despite his red light and siren. MADE TURN At Burlingame, she recognized the off ramp, and making a sweeping turn, drove grandly off as Olinick said a quick little prayer and followed her. When she finally stopped she said that she'd been afraid to stop on the freeway. 6 CO Several thousand members and supporters of the Peace and Freedom Movement and the Black Panther Party staged a parade and rallies here and in the East Bay to day to protest "racism in America." The East Bay demostration began with a noontime rally at Bancroft and Telegraph avenues In Berkeley, and was followed by a parade through predominantly white middle-class districts to the Alameda County Courthouse near Lake Merritt.
