10 This evening the wheelmen who witnessed the great racing events at San Jose will return more than pleased that they had the good fortune of being spectators at one of the greatest cycling meets held west of Ihe big mountains. As will be seen In the department of wheeling, several spins in the country are booked to take place to-morrow. Sportsmen are keeping their hands and eyes in practice with a view to being well up in the race for prizes at the State Sportsmen's tournament. Anglers are happy because of the good prospects for enjoying their favorite pastime. There will be conrsing at Ocean View to-morrow, rifle shooting at Shell Mound and San Rafael ranges and handball in the courts.

THE WHEEL. Wonderful Performances at San A Benefit Will Be Given the Fabiola Hospital. All the wheelmen from this part of the State who could possibly arrange to do so journeyed to San Jose yesterday to witness the great races there given by the Garden City Cyclers, an account of which will be found in another column. Many who could not pet away from business yesterday will ride down on their wheels this morning. There are also two trains this morning on the broad-gauge, leaving at 8:15 and i 0:40 o'clock, which arrive at San Jose in ample time.

The Garden City Cyclers have arranged a picnic run for to-morrow, to which all visiting wheelmen are invited. The start will be made from the clubrooms at 9 o'clock Sunday morning and the destination is Long Bridge, some ten miles away, and one of the prettiest spots in Santa Clara County. A good lunch will be provided, and plenty of it; and as the trip is Jasey M. Castleman, "The Southern California Flyer." a over splendid roads, and is in charge of Captain Delmas of the cyclers, a splendid time is assured. The events to be run at San Jose to-day are as follows: One-mile handicap, class third-mile scratch, class one-mile invitation, class half mile handicap, class two-mile Chinese handicap.

The one-mile invitation race, class is the star event of the tournament, and will bring together some of the fastest riders in the world. Tandem pacing will be introduced, in an endeavor to lower the record for one mile in competition. 2 mm. 5 4-5 sec, made by E. C.

Bald at Springfield last fall. There is another big meet in view, to be run at Oakland on May 1, for the benefit of the Fabiola Hospital. It is probable that all the crack riders now at San Jose will compete, so that those who find themselves unable to to San Jose may yet have a chance of seeing these men race. A. P.

Black, H. T. Heming, Walter Scott. C. F.

Stewart and H. F. Neariber have been elected members of the San Francisco Young Men's Christian Association Cycling Club. A new bicycle club has been organized at Healdsburg, with the following officers: J. E.

Ewiiig, president; B. H. Barnes, secretary: R. W. Haigh, treasurer; A.

W. Garrett, captain. The charter roll contains forty A ladies' branch is Droposed and the construction of a track contemplated. The club will be prominent at the Santa Rosa rose carnival on May 8, 9 and 10. A.

D. Sheldon and S. Plummer on a tandem rode down to San Jose on Thursday evening to swell the ranks of the Bay City members already there. The Oakland Young Men's Christian Association Cycling Club will be represented at the Fabiola Hospital fete on May 1 by the following racers: Charles D. Gooch, Percy Deacon.

Walter E. Rode and J. M. Colquhoun. The association promises to become quite a factor in the wheeling world across the bay, and special accommodations are now being arranged for the cyclists to further encourage membership.

A. W. Cleaver, the Los "Angeles racer, will uot ride at the San Jose races, as he SPORT. finds he is not in proper condition. He lias been training for road races, which has the effect of lessening one's speed on a track.

The Mountain View Cyclers is the name of a new bicycle club formed at Mountain View last week by fifteen riders. The emblem of the club is to be a five-pointed star. Allan Jones and Richard Moody wili ride as a tandem team in the races in Oakland May 1. George D. Gideon, chairman of the racing board of the League of American Wheelmen, has allotted the Bay City Wheelmen November 1 and 2, and the Garden City Cyclers November 5, 6 and 7 as dates on the national racing circuit.

This is the time then when all the crack riders of the East will be out here to compete with our California flyers. The Pajaro Valley Wheelmen of Watsonville are a live organization this season. They have held many pleasant country runs, and will continue to do so throughout the season, the next being to Aptos tomorrow. Liverymen in different parts of the country are now handling bicycles for renting purposes. A San Jose stable recently bought fifty wheels to offset the falling off of the livery business, due to the popularity of cycling.

The Tribune Cyclers of Gilroy will run off two races to-morrow, a mile handicap and a half-mile handicap, for which suitable prizes will be offered. The races will be run on the horse track there. This week the pictures of Casey M. Castleman and W. A.

Burke, two of Southern California's fastest racers, are presented. Btfth are now at San Jose competing in the races there, under class and are very speedy. Castleman is a Canadian by birth, 20 years of age. He commenced racing four years ago and won everything for which he entered the first two years, when he was first defeated by D. L.

Burke. Since then Castleman has won a majority of the races run in Southern California, and has held the division championship for three successive years. He has also taken a Srominent "part in team and road racing, ne of his best rides was a 25-mile event with Thomas McAleer, in which all coast records were lowered from three miles upward, and they still stand as records. Castleman ran off the track on the last lap and lost the race, which he would undoubtedly have won otherwise. On February 20 last he rode an unpaced flying quarter mile in 25 seconds.

Castleman rode the tenth relay for the Acme Club Wheelmen two weeks ago. covering his ten miles in 28 minutes 46 seconds, and would have done much better but for a collision with a dog which lost him some little time. He is Dearly six feet tall and weichs 180 pounds. A. Burke, who is Castleman's riding mate, is not so largo or heavy as the latter, but is remarkably fast on the track.

He was born in Illinois twenty-four years ago and lived there until 1892, when he came to Los Angeles. He learned to ride a wheel in the fall of that year and six weeks later won his novice race. From that time on he met with continued success, winning the majority of the events in which he started, even defeating his brother, D. L. Burke, who then helvl the coast championship.

He became very prominent later on, however, when at the meet at San Diego last spring he won all the class A events and then entered in class and defeated sxich cracks as Edwards, Davis and Osen of San Jose and Fox of Los Angeles. He also won a five-mile handicap race from men like Cattleman, Ulbricht, Kitchin, McAleer and Lacey, the fastest men in the south, wherein he secured both time and place prizes. He only lost ttiree races in 1894, in two of he finished second. He rode the fifth ten-mile stretch for the Acme Club Wheelmen in the recent relay, covering the distance in 28 minutes 13 seconds, which was considerably faster than any of the other riders on this relay rode it. Burke rode yesterday and will ride today at San Jose, and will be up front in all class events.

The Liberty Cycle Club will have a run to Petaluma to-morrow, leaving on the 8 a. m. Tiburon ferry. The California "Cycling Club will hold one of its bi-weekly runs to-morrow. Captain Burke has arranged a short trip via Piedmont and Laundry Farm, ending at San Leandro, where lunch will be had.

On the return a scorch home over the last five miles of the Hay wards course will be in order. Leonard and Benjamin C. Reynaud, a well-known tandem team of this city, have joined the Bay City Wheelmen. A special meeting of the Imperial Cycling Club for the purpose of electing a captain and eleven directors will be held on Tuesday evening. President North has in his possession some handsome gold badges to be given to members in good standing upon presentation of an order signed by the secretary.

H. W. Spalding has been elected an honorary member of the Imperials. Owing to the treatment the Imperial Club members received recently from the North Pacific Railroad Company, which refused to take their wheels on board a tTain leaving Tocaloma for Sausalito, the riders who will visit Camp Taylor this year will be few. The Outing Road Club will take a spin to Petaluma to-morrow, leaving San Rafael upon the arrival of the first train from Tiburon.

The Crescent Road Club has decided upon a run to Camp Taylor to-morrow from Sausalito, but if the boys receive the same treatment as the Imperials they will find that the home spin to Sausalito will land them a tired and weary lot of wheelmen. A group picture of the wheelmen of the Olympic Club is to be taken by one of the leading photographers, which, when completed, will be consigned to a prominent place in the wheelmen's meeting-room. Spalding. The following communication from E. B.

Pomroy of the Fabiola Hospital is selfeiplanatory: Dear Sir: Permit me to call your attention to the fact that there will be held at the Oakland Trotting Park on May 1 a series of amateur sporting events in aid of the Fabiola Hospital of this city, consisting in part of running and trotting races, a hurdle-race, burro-race, a display of fancy riding and driving, a parade of decorated vehicles and many other events calculated to interest and amose. Special attention will be given to the bicycle races. Immediately at the conclusion of'the races at San Jose the men now training there will move to the Oakland Trotting Park, which is now being put in condition for training purposes, and will remain until the Ist of May. It will be the endeavor of the management to put the track In such condition that, it being a mile track, records that stood untouched will be broken and much faster ones established. Many valuable prizes have been offered, consisting of jewelry, etc.

The high character of the gentlemen compos- Ing the general committee of arrangements, the object for which the entertainment is being one of the most worthy and deserving within the State's and' the fact that the credit of the community is at stake upon the uccess of the enterprise assure it in advance. During the evening preceding the Ist of May a Chinese lantern bicycle parade will take place through the principal streets, in which the clubs and prominent unattached wheelmen of this section of the State will participate. All who desire to do so are cordially invited. The point of assembly is the corner of Eighteenth street and San Pablo avenue, and the hour 8 o'clock. To the club making the best appearance a handsome prize will be given and one will also be given to the visiting club having the greatest number in line.

The following is the list of the events together with the prizes therefor: One mile, class First gold stop THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1895. watch, value $50; second, diamond locket, value $30; third, gold chain, value $10.

Entries for the bench show will close on the 30th inst. at the club's office, 630 Market street, where entry-blanks and premium lists can be secured.

Interest in the canine tribe has very much increased since doe shows were first inaugurated in California. The first successful show was held in Plan's Hall, on Montgomery street, in 1886, at which time less than 200 dogs were shown. Since then there has been a gradual increase, and at the last show of the Pacific Kennel Club, in 1892, an entry of 360 dogs was shown. The class of dogs has improved in proportion to the interest manifested. In 1886 a thoroughbred St.

Bernard was not Pointer "Cap." then in the State, while to-day the club expects an entry of not less than eighty of this noble breed. A valuable addition to this class is a kennel of smooth-coated St. Bernards, imported from Switzerland by of this city. The club has issued a premium list, in which is offered prizes of money, medals and diplomas. Kennel prizes are offered also for the best exhibit of four, irrespective of sex or age, which is a special inducement to breeding kennels.

The kennel of English setters owned by T. J. Wattson, chairman of the committee, will be entered for exhibition only, and therefore will not be in competition with others. In this kennel can be seen the famous dog Starlight, winner of first in all-age stake of the Pacific Coast field trials, 1593, Setter Starlight. to which the city of Bakersfield added $300 in money.

Starlight also won first on the bench at Oakland, 1894. Another noted field-trial winner will be seen in Howard Vernon's pointer dog Glenbcigh, who has a great field-trial record, having won the champion stakes in England as well as other minor events. This year he won first in the California trials held at Salinas. H. Bier will exhibit his pointer dog Capay, son of the famous Glenbeigh.

The greyhound fanciers are very enthusiastic and are making preparation for a very large exhibit of these noted fliers. California can boast of as good hounds as can be found in the world, and this exhibit will no doubt be an attractive one. A gold medal will be offered to the best collie in the show. It is said that a kennel of bloodhounds from Solano County will be exhibited. Smooth-Coated St.

Bernard. The dogs have just been imported from the kennel of J. L. Winchell, the only breeder of these dogs in America. Judge Raper in speaking of California spaniels said as a class they are equal if not better than anything'he had seen in the Eastern States.

A number of them will be seen at the show. The club has offered three special prizes for best decorated kennels, and Miss Bates, a floral artist of this city, has very kindly consented to act as judge. John Davidson of Monroe, will judge all classes. Breeders of thoroughbred Irish water spaniels will be pleased to learn that one of the famous dogs, a winner of many prizes in this and older countries, is now in the city, having been purchased at a high figure by John Sammie of the Pacific Kennel Club. The dog is named Handy Andy; he is 8 years old, was bred by George Miller of Edinburgh, Wales, owner Greyhound Kathleen.

of Shaughran, the champion Irish water spaniel of Great Britain. Handy Andy's breeding speaks for itself. His dam is the famous i Duchess of Connaught and the sire champion Shaughran. Mr. Sammie has had no end of trouble in getting the dog safely landed in this city.

He came by way of Victoria. B. with a pedigree that would reach from here to the place where he first saw the light of day. Handy looks well and with the exception of his coat, which has been neglected during the journey, he is otherwise in good condition and may possibly look kindly through his large and lustrous eyes at the many admirers of water spaniels during the exhibition of the Pacific Kennel Club at Mechanics' Pavilion. THE ANGLER.

Good Reports From Coast Btreams Are Now Being Lake Fishing. Now that the rush of a miscellaneous class of stream whippers is about over for the season the real admirers of angling may expect to enjoy some good sport, untroubled by fish disturbers. From the fact that the opening of the season came at a time when rivers and creeks were running almost bank high, it could hardly be expected that successful angling would result. The temptation to wet a line on the opening days was, however, irresistible to a large number of anglers, and as a consequence every little pool that had a reputation of up to the barnyard hacklers a nice mess of trout in years received a visit from the early birds. The general results were, of course, poor, and what else may be expected when it is taken into consideration that a trout thoroughly satiated with food is a hiding beauty during the hours when anglers are out and whipping.

The streams have now assumed an appearance which indicates good sport in the near future for those who Fancy the casting of flies over rippling waters. They have taken on their summer dress, which to the lovers of fly-casting is significant of the fact that artificial insects must be inspected and fine tackle prepared for outings in the country. Although general reports are to the effect that small fish are quite plentiful in the streams nearest of access to this city, it can be taken lor granted, however, that there are many fine whoppers that have not yet been tempted by lure waiting for the angler who can land with expert grace and precision a champion royal coachman immediately over the nose of the secreted beauty. Experience has more than proven thatlarge trout are rather timid in exposing their silvery sides to every Tom, Dick and Harry who wades a mountain stream with rod in hand. In fact, the big fellows, as a rule, are suspicious of everything that glides on the water during the hours of day when the sun is smiling upon everybody and everything in general.

It is when the sun has dipped behind the hills and the shadows of night appear on the surroundings, that the two-pounders condescend to take a peep at passing objects, that is, of course, with a view of taking in whatever variety of insect that may have the misfortune to take water. The angler who happens to be on the stream then can safely count upon an occasional surprise when he probably least expects it; but the pleasure that follows the landing of a well-conditioned fish will assuredly make up for whatever little misunderstanding the angler and the slippery rocks may have had during his slips and slides along a rough and treacherous stretch of rishing country. It was stated a few days ago that the Spring Valley Water Company had opened Lake I'ilarcitos to anglers. This statement has proven true to some extent, as a few privileged anglers have cast their lines in the waters of I'ilarcitos and San Andreas lakes. When they returned and made known their catches to friends the report circulated rapidly that Pilarcitos was open and that the fishing was good.

The officers of the company state, however, that Pilarcitos Lake will not be generally opened before May and as far as San Andreas is concerned they cannot yet state positively when that favorite place will be opened. It is rather strange, however, that the company should see fit to keep either the Pilarcitos or San Andreas lakes closed to anglers until midway in the season. Both lakes contain many thousand more fish than they should, as the food supply is totally inadequate to keep such a large number of trout properly fed and in good condition. A thinning out would assuredly make a vast improvement in the qualityof the fish and also better sport would result. An angler writes to the SDorting editor for information concerning the stocking of coast streams adjacent to this city with Eastern trout, known as New Hampshire trout.

Possibly the Fish Commissioners can give the desired information. It is a fact, however, that young steelhead and rainbow trout have been placed in several streams of Marin, Sonoma, San Matco and other counties near at hand, but whether any of the New Hampshire trout fry have ever tasted the public waters that are generally fished by anglers of this city we cannot aay. It can be taken for granted, however, that Commissioner Emeric will give his attention to the public interest so far as stream stocking is concerned, and that Eastern as well as California trout will tind a home in the future in such streams as are most generally patronized by the disciples of this city. It can be almost safely said, however, that a very small number of Eastern trout fry have had an opportunity of enjoying the waters of public streams adjacent to this city, although it was reported that several thousand young Easterners had been planted Lagunitas, Paper-mill, Sonoma and other waters within easy access. Frank l3olliver is seriously thinkin of writing a story for some weekly sporting paper, entitled ''An Angler Up a According to Doliiver's friends the story would make very interesting reading for a class of anglers who are fond of forbidden fruit.

Messrs. Terry, Rondeau and Cooney enjoyed splendid mud-turtle fishing last Sunday in Mud-turtle Creek. John Butler in looked upon as a standard authority on all angling matters, and a tin from is sure to bring to an angler a rise of some kind if thoroughly digested. Charley Cate has the honor of having caught a number of laree trout since the season opened on a spinner of his own make, but the "trout-killers" are not for sale, and consequently there is much jealous feeling among the'local fraternity. Charley Precht caught a nice basket of fish at Point Reyes last Sunday and the trick was accomplished by scientific fly casting.

June B. Walker was second best with flies. Those who used bait had poor success. Reports from Boulder Creek state that fly ashing is vastly improved. The San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company is studying the interest of its patrons by stocking the streams which empty into the Russian River with trout.

No doubt the anglers will appreciate the good work the company is doing in their behalf. A letter from Cloverdale states that the small Btreams adjacent to the latter town are prolific of trout. THE QWB. Lire and Artificial Bird Shoots That Will Take Flaoe To-morrow. Sportsmen who are fond of trap-shooting will have an opportunity of testing their eye and nerve to-morrow at the Oakland track, where a bluerock shoot will be held, open to all comers.

The prizes are valuable, and it is safe to say that the winners will have to make clean scores to carry off the highest honors. At a meeting of the California Wing Shooting Club Charles M. Shortridge was eiected an honorary member. The club holds trap-shooting contests at the Oakland trottine park on the first Sunday of each month, and among the members are some of the leading pigeon-grassers of the State, who always cut a prominent figure at the State sportsmen's annual pigeon-shootinc tourneys. A snow-white deer, which was killed by Charley Ladd last season, is on exhibition in the window of a Third-street gunstore.

The sportsmen of the State are very much pleased to know that the Supervisors have no longer the power to meddle with the fish and game laws. As will be seen in the Call's letter from Sacramento, mallard and teal ducks have already been found nesting in the tules. The Supervisors of counties in which game wardens are needed are very slow in making appointments. The sportsmen who reside in these counties where poaching is carried on in the closed season, should interest themselves with a view of having the game protected in time, otherwise they will be compelled to lock the stable-door at a time when the game has been killed off. The San Francisco Gun Club will hold its monthly pigeon shoot to-day at the Oakland track.

The Recreation Gun Club will shoot tomorrow at the Oakland track. The Lincoln Gun Club will shoot at man imate targets to-morrow at Alameda Point. The Sportsman's Association of Alameda County will shoot bluerocks at Joe Dieves' to-morrow. THE BIFLE. The California Schuetzen Clnh Will Hare a Great Day at the Ranges.

The California Schuetzen Club will make a lively racket to-morrow at its handsome shooting quarters near San Rafael. Large and flaring posters announce that tons of leaden balls will be smashed into smithereens on the targets, and that the most marksmen from all pans of the State will be on hand to participate in the great rifle-shooting race for costly prizes. It will be tbe club's annual grand prize shooting festival, and it goes without saying that the shooting for honor and coin will be close ana exciting. The sum of $275 is offered in prizes for the ring target competitions and $1000 in jewelry, silverware and other useful household articles will be shot for in the honorary target competition. Besides target lovers of bowling will have, a chance to win many nice prizes.

The cracking of rifles will commence at 9:30 a. m. and end at 6 p. m. sharp.

BASEBALL. The Stanford and Berkeley College Nines i Will Play To-Day. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April In the game to-morrow Captain Dyer of Stanford will play his best men. The following is the list of the players and their positions: McLane, pitcher; Russell, catcher; Young, first base; Dyer, second base; "White, shortstop; Lewis, third base; Calhoun, right field; Sheehan, center field; Harrelson, left field. Stanford expects to win this takes place on the campus at 2 p.

t6 give those who come down from Berkeley ample opportunity to return to the city in time for the great intercollegiate debate in the evening. At 10 a. m. the tennis tournament will take place, Stanford being represented in the singles by Picher and Hazzard, and in the doubles by Picher and Packard. Berkeley will put Magee and Gage in both singles and doubles.

HANDBALL. Players Who Will Meet To-Morrow in a Series of Games. The following interesting games of handball will be decided to-morrow at the San Francisco ball court: First J. Maguire and M. Sullivan to play D.

Caxsidy and J. Farrell. Second game J. Brown and C. Butterfield to play H.

Mofl'att and D. O'Brien. Third P. Kyan and J. Rodgers to play M.

Governor Buad left for Alta last night, where he will try his luck among the speckled beauties in the lakes and streams of that locality. His appointment of Mackey, Budd and Land as Directors of the Agricultural Society has given universal satisfaction to sport lovers of this city as it promises an entire change in the methed in which racing events have been conducted during the past few years in this city. One of the eyesores of the city has been the appearance of the pavilion, where the annual exhibits of Californian farming products are displayed. The building itself was originally laid out in the form of a Maltese cross, but under the old regime sheds have been tacked on until, to say the least.it is unsightly; under the efficient management of William Land this will be rectified. It ia claimed that in all California there is no one who so thoroughly understands the requirements of a well-ordered racetrack and proper stables as John Mackey, consequently these adjuncts of the society will undergo a radical change and the fastest track on the slope will be placed in a condition conducive to the smashing of records.

During the past week the selected teams of the Spoonbill and Sacramento Gun Clubs have been having daily practice at the trap in preparation for the great team shoot of to-morrow and competition is active. The weather 'promises to be excellent and good scores may be looked for. A. C. Tucker, a noted Eastern trap shot, is expected to take part in the pool-shooting portion of the blue rock tournament.

Company of the National Guard of Sacramento will go to Pavisville tomorrow and shoot a match with Company Fof Woodland. There will be fifteen participants from each company. In Grass Valley, Nevada County, Company of Auburn and Company of Nevada City will meet at the butts. One of the best-timed road run? of the season is stated to have been made by a promising young wheelman of Folsom, Roy Hastings, who it is claimed made the run from Stockton to Folsom in two hours and forty minutes. It is also claimed that Chris Ecklon, another rider of the same place, made the run from that town to thi3 city, a distance of twenty-two miles, in one "hour and twenty minutes.

This record is not official. Warden Helms reports that he has discovered numerous wild duck nests during the past week along the Cosumnes River. In one mallard's nest he found eleven eggs, and a cinnamon or blue wing teal was the proud possessor of seven eggs and was extremely opposed to give way to his investigators. A wood duck's nest, situated in a hollow tree, was also noticed. Warden Helms states that the young of this species are conveyed from the nest to the adjacent stream upon the back of the parent bird.

He was informed by a party of surveyors that they had watched a wood-duck last season while she made thirteen trips from her nest to the water, bringing a duckling each trip. The old bird would enter the nest in the hollow of an old oak, persuade one of her little ones to nestle on her back and then sail from the tree to the stream without a single flutter of her wings, which would have had a tendency to dislodge the little one en route. The talked-of cocking main is a thing of the past. The encounter took place last week within the confines of the city. It is claimed that but four battles fought, all of which were won by birds from Anthony Green's yards, and owing to dissatisfaction in the arrangement of money matters the fanciers were considerably out of pocket.

NEW BOABD OP HEALTH. Who Will Probably Be Appointed In a Few Daya. Those inside the political railing who frequently know a thing or two put their heads together yesterday and discussed the new Board of Health, which, it is understood upon good authority, has been appointed or will be appointed next Tuesday by Governor Budd. It consists of Dr. W.

G. Mizner. Dr. R. W.

Murphy and Dr. Levinscn. When the news was noised about a little various theories were indulged in as to what sweeping changes would be made in the Quarantine Office, hospitals, asylums and other resorts where thenealth of various wards of the city is carefully attended to. There was the usual conjecture as to who would fall first, as the Board of Health is endowed with considerable power in the matter of rearranging the institutions coming directly under its jurisdiction. TROUBLE IN TEOOP A.

Cavalrymen Befnae to Obey Orders, Are Arrested and Will Be Tried. Troop the crack cavalry company of San Francisco, is in revolt. They elected Julien Waller captain a fortnight ago. Then their first act was to refuse to obey orders, and now trie mutineers threaten to leave the company unless the captain resigns. The trouble arose about S.

A. Newman, a friend of Captain Waller's. Mr. Newman was very anxions to join the troop. His name was proposed, and in one evening he was blackballed four times.

Finally he was declared elected. When Newman came to the armory to drill Private Noonan refused to join the ranks and was ordered under arrest. First Sergeant Elfendahl after calling the roll announced to Captain Waller that there was a stranger in the company and refused to drill with him. He was under arrest, and Privates A. It.

Schwartz, H. Maas, Ed Hawkins, George Klinger and W. Thompson at once left the company, refusing to drilFwith Newman. They were alse placed under arrest. Corporal Helmore, who had previously been placed tinder arrest and reduced to the ranks for interfering when the captain was having a row with Armorer Harry Owens, was ordered to fall in and drill, the order for his arrest being remandod.

He refused and was again placed under arrest. Lieutenant McKinnon, the only commissioned ollicer present besides Mr. Waller, was ordered to drill, but he also refused to obey orders. Captnin -elect Waller has betn arrested for battery on Armorer Owens. The captain has appealed to Governor Budd and 1 Colonel Chad bourne to have the trouble- some men courtmartialed.

They, in turn, and a number of others say they will leave the company if Lieutenant Waller has his captain's coin mission made out.
