last night. They made things quite lively
about the bathing pavilions and the best
day's business of the season was done by
the bathing places. The restaurants and
refreshment stands were rushed to care
for the extra crowds, and the appearance
,at the resorts was not unlike that of Sun-
day. Many home people were wont tn
spend the greater part of the day out
where they could get the full benefit of
the delightful sea breeze, and after the
big parade was over, the cars were taxed
to the limit in conveying the thousands to
the seaside. .

.crowd at the Electric Park last night, con-
sidering the other attractions in the city
which demanded the attention of the peo-
ple. All the concessions were being oper-
ated in the most satisfactory manner and
the throngs of men, women and children
spent the few hours very delightfully.
All day yesterday the beach front was
crowded with visitors who remained over

New York, N. Y., Sept. 4.—Sherburn M.
Becker, “boy mayor” of Milwaukee, who
started from 55th street and Broad-way
early yesterday fired with a determina-
tion to break his own record of 60 hours
on his return trip, came to grief a few
miles from Newburg, when his automo-
bile was overturned and smashed. While
none of the party was dangerously in-
jured, all were hurt and Mr. Becker lost
seven hours.
Those in the machine were William F.
Hocker, the owner’s brother-in-law; Gar-
rison Smith of Milwaukee, H. D. Hooker,
secretary to the president of the Erie
railway; Charles D. Weed, John Webster,
the chauffeur, and Mr. Becker.
When skimming along at a speed placed
between 50 and 60 miles an hour six or
seven miles from Newburg a front wheel
struck a stone. The road was slippery
from a heavy rain and the machine
skidded, reared and turned turtle. All the
passengers were thrown out and covered
with mud.
It was found that the forward axle had
been broken and several parts of the ma-
chine destroyed. A machinist was sum-
moned by telegraph and he hurried out
with parts to replace those broken. After
a delay of seven hours the party resumed
its route. Mr. Becker declined to give up
his attempt to beat his record.

sprung several fresh jokes which were real
funny and the buck and wing dancing,
monologue and eccentric work could hard-
ly have been improved upon. In fact, all
the specialty work was up to the standard
of excellence and does great credit to the
Galveston boys and those in charge of the
attraction. The minstrel show will be seen
for the last time tonight.
Tomorrow night the management of the
theater announces an entire change of pro-
gram and the following will be offered:

Last night at the Beach rink Miss Effie
Pruitt, the accomplished lady skatorial
artist from Cincinnati, gave a very enter-
taining exhibition of fancy skating in-
cluding the waltz, two-step, backward
and forward toe-tipping, heel-skating, etc.
Miss Pruitt fills the same position in the
graceful skating field for ladies as the
one occupied in the field for gentlemen by
Prof. Monahan, and to her grace and
elegance is addeti^a display of taste in the
selection of her costume, that renders the
performance externally pleasing. She will
be seen every afternoon and evening dur-
ing the week at, the Beach rink.
On Thursday night a grand march will
be presented, led by Miss Pruitt, and a
prize will be offered to the most grace-
ful couple in the march. Miss Pruitt has

inaugurated new features to the grand
march wherever she has been, and thia

San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 4.—President
Calhoun of the United railways said last
night that he had received letters from
ten of the most prominent citizens in this
city asking for the privilege and honor of
taking out the first car and that 200 busi-
ness men of the community had written
to him that they are willing to take out
cars. “I am fighting for principle,” said
Calhoun, “and I am waging the fight of
the entire country for industrial peace,”
He declared that he had men enough to
take out a number of cars and intimated
that an attempt to do so might be made
today.

The management of the Frisco railway
company has systematized its policy of
promoting enginemen. Copies of a book-
let issued by the company containing ques-
tions and information valuable to firemen
who are to take the engineer’s examina-
tion are being distributed among the fire-
men here.
The usual number of locmotive firemen
who have served four or morei years of
apprenticeship, and are now available for
promotion to positions as engineers, will
be • given the required examination this
fall.
. A new system has been inaugurated for
the conducting of these examinations.
The first year a fireman is in the service
he will have to pass an examination. This
examination contains such questions as
affect th© fireman from the time he enters
the railroad’s service.
The question of good fuel, a good head
of steam, etc., is gone over thoroughly,
and the fireman is required to describe
the many simple parts of th© locomotive.
An analysis of the coal burned, and other
similar points are touched upon.
In the examination for the period ending
with the second year, the fireman is re-
quired to go more into details, and describe
the more intricate parts of the locomotive
such as injectors, lubricators, and how the
various styles work. Many mathematical
questions are asked, relating to the water
in the tank, etc., all of which are very
helpful to the men.
In the third year’s examination the
valve gear, machinery, boiler and other
fjueb parts and the cause of defects in
these parts, attributed to ordinary causes,
are described. Repairs in case of a break-
down on the road is a subject in this last
book that the fireman is required t®
devote a good deal of time to, as it is con-
sidered very material that he should
know how to fix up ais engine in case o£
a breakdown.
The aii4 brake, the most difficult of all
things for the average engine to familiar-
ize himself with, is gone over, and the can-
didate for higher honors is required t®
give a satisfactory description of It.
This system of educating firemen from
year to year has been going on in th®
east for a long time and has resulted in
making better firemen for the roads using,
it.
It has been customary on western roads
to call up the men for examination after
they had served for four years or more,
and if they could pass an examination
above a certain percentage, they were giv-
en six months to study, and if not able t®
get through' then, were given their time.
