They are scanning the bulletin of the day's news from all parts of the world, which will be published in to-morrow's _Call_ or in the _Chronicle_ on the north side of the street.

In the early part of my sojourn in this city by the Golden Gate I was impressed with this aspect of life here.

It was on Thursday the 3rd day of October that I saw a crowd of men of various ages, and boys also, reaching out into the street, besieging the bulletin board of _The Call_, at the corner of Market and Third Streets.

Why are they so deeply absorbed and why so interested?
They are reading the news of the victory of Mr.J.Pierpont Morgan's _Columbia_ over Sir Thomas Lipton's _Shamrock_ in the great yacht race in New York waters, in the cup contest.

Had this international race taken place outside of their own Golden Gate, on the broad Pacific, they could not have evinced greater enthusiasm and pride at the result.
