SPORTS OF THE DAY
The Southern California Kennel club
holds Its eightli annual bench show this
week, opening on Tuesday and closing
on Friday. The show promises to be
thoroughly representative, for there are
over 200 entries, a large increase on last
year's competitors. The presence in
the city of J. Otis Fellowes, popularly
know n as "Uncle Dick," of Xew A'ork,
:a well known authority on the canine
race, lends additional interest, and lie
Will judge all classes. The valuable list
of prizes offered by the Pacific Coast
Fox Terrier club, and also some special
prizes offered by President Sumner,
have drawn an unusually large list of
entries in this class. Setters, pointers,
mastiffs, Great Danes and St. Bernards
lire all well represented, and many of
' the finest dogs of these classes in the
state will be seen. George T. Allender
of San Francisco will be un hand with
a good string.
The catalogue for the bench show,
which opens tomorrow morning ln the
He well & Gammon block, on Broad
way, between First and Second, is now
ln the hands of the binder, and will be
ready today. An examination of proof
sheets shows that there will be just 212
canines on exhibition, although the en
tries number about 225. The apparent
discrepancy is due to one dog being en
tered in several classes, such as the
puppy and the open. All animals must
be on bund for benching not later than
■12 noon on Tuesday, as judging will be
gin promptly at 1 ocloek.
A large list of entries ensures the suc
cess of the La Fiesta games on Thurs
day next at the Athletic park. The pro
gram 1- of such a varied character as
to prove attractive to all sorts and con
ditions of both men and women. There
will not only be interesting bicycle and
loot races, but the Indians will show
their speed, burros will try for a record
and 300 marines from the flagship Phil
adelphia will go through their shore
drill. There will also be a competitive
drill by four companies of the Seventh
regiment. Humorous features to the
games will not be missing, for there is
to be a greased pole competition and a
contest among those with the most
tenacious grasp of greased pigs. The
games will bu under the patronage of
the queen of the Fiesta.
The vaudeville show to be given this
evening by the Athletic club at the
Los Angeles theater promises to draw
a bumper house. A very attractive
program has been prepared, includin;r
boxing, fencing, westling, tumbling and
feats of strength. The songsters of
the club, as well as the strong men,
w ill give a taste of their talent.
Two Pasadena boys, Pitcher and
Freeman, carried off the intercollegiate
championship for Stanford on Saturday
l>y easily defeating Magee and Gage of
Berkeley. Magee, however, beat Free
man in the singles, but Pitcher proved
too much for Gage.
THE WHEEL
The youngsters had their first field
day of the season on Saturday, when
| the first of the monthly bicycle races
was run over the Shorb course. Johnny
Flnnall, who was a "green man," made
the course in the best time in 1G:45, and
won third place, receiving the silver
medal presented by W. S. Obenauer.
James McDonald won first place from
the four-minute mark and Jasper Grif
fin with the same handicap was second.
There were fifteen starters. A num
ber of spills occurred, but only one
resulted seriously, Will Horn running
Into a wagon and breaking his collar
bone.
The Riverside wheelmen will give a
good list of sports at Athletic park Mon
day, April 27th, consisting of a baseball
game and bicycle races. On that day
will occur the great relay race from
Los Angeles to Riverside, a distance
Of 68 miles, between teams of those cit
ies. The start will be made at the plaza
In Los Angeles at 8 ocloek a.m., and the
fSnish will be at the corner of Main and
Eighth streets, Riverside. There will
be relays of seven men, and Scott, who
will have the first relay for Riverside,
will go right through lor a record. He
expects to make it in less than four
hours, and the relay men in three and a
half hours. In the afternoon the Red
lands and Riverside nines will cross
bats, and as the last game between
these two clubs resulted in the Score
of 5 to 6, some good playing may be
looked for. Bicycle races will follow
Immediately after the ball game, and
ss all the cracks of Southern California
will be ln attendance flrst-class races
will be put up. This will be the first ap
pearance on the track for two seasons
of Scott and Shoemaker, the fast Riv
erside men.
R. M. Welch of the national racing
board of the L. A. W., in last week's
Bulletin, publishes the following cau
tion: Race meet promoters and man
agers of school and college track teams
will please note the following: Every
year about this time the various col
leges and schools begin to develop rac
ing men to represent them at the inter
collegiate and interscholastlc outdoor
games. It is customary to run off one
or more trials to pick tint a team. Rac
ing throughout the United States is
governed by the L. A. W., and the L. A.
W. requires that every track race be
sanctioned. A man competing ln an
unsanctioned event is liable to suspen
sion. Now your men in particular may
not care whether they are suspended or
not, but they are sure to find somebody
■Yt the final meet from some other col
lege who does care and will not allow
them to ride, if under suspension. The
trouble occurs every year, when by a
little caution it can be prevented. Re
member that every race on a track, be
It one event or more, must be sanc
tioned. If you are to have any trials
send for sanction every time. For open
races a fee is charged; but no fee is re
quired for closed club or school events;
but in all cases send for sanction and
save your men from suspension, which
In one or more cases last year affected
the standing of the school ln points won
at the championship meeting.
No less than seven world's records
were captured by H. B. Gleezen's team
at Coronado on Friday. Young Schef-
Ski of Salt Luke city has already the
reputation of being one of the pluckiest
riders in the country, and when he fin
ished his world's record for the third of
St mile, standing start, unpaced, in
: 87 4-6, 31-6 seconds better than his prev
ious record, blood wan streaming from
his shoes, for in starting he sprang both
cranks of his wheel, causing him to
strike both ankles at every revolution
of the sprockets. This record beats Ham
ilton's of Chicago by four-fifths. W. J.
Evans of Santa Monica, S. H. Klser o£
Dayton, O, and W. M. Randall of Roch
ester, all established new records.
Floyd A. McFarland of the San Jose
Road* club is the first amateur, or for
mer class A man, in this part of the
state to come out in his true colors. He
has requested the racing board to trans
fer him to the professional class. He
will probably be followed by Edwards,
the Olympic crack, who has determined
to travel with the cash prize! riders.
Edwards will ride in the professional
class for the first time at the Oakland
races on May Ist.
It is now definitely decided that the
national circuit is to open in this state
and not at Denver. The opening meet
will take place at Oakland on the Ist
of May in conjunction with the Fablola
carnival fete. From Oakland tie circuit
chasers go to Santa Rosa to race nt
the opening tit the new three-lap track.
The next meeting will be at San Jose on
May 9th. Then a week's rest is contem
plated, and on the 16th the rendezvous
will be Sun Francisco on the six-lap
board track at Central park. A jump
will then in all probability be made to
Santa Monica, and this is the only meet
as yet scheduled for this part of the
state, but there is every prospect of
Pasadena securing v date. There is also
no reason why both Redlands and
Santa Ana should not have meets be
fore the 30th, which is the date already
scheduled for Phoenix.
From the trouble over the relay race
it seems possible that the Ray Citys
may refuse to deliver the cup to the
Garden City cyclers. The former club
is to be given a proper hearing on the
question of the disqualification of I.
Percy Mills.
Robert M. Welch evidently intends
to enforce racing rules to the letter.
He recently stated that where he found
professionals riding under the guise of
amateurs he would, in addition to trans
ferring them to the professional class,
suspend them from all track riding for a
period, the extent to be governed by the
offense.
C. S. Wells. W. A. and H. F. Terrill j
leave San Franc isco today to train at
Santa Rosa.
The last bulletin of the rue ing board
sent out by Chairman Welch approves
the following Pacific coast records:
Three-quarter mile, flying, paced, R. C.
S. Wells, Coronado, Cal.. February 15.

Both Melba and Calve have taken to
the Wheel in order to reduce flesh. Duse
is also an expert and the other day
created a sensation In Chicago by tak
ing her lunch in a public restaurant with
her bloomers on.
A compact is to be made by which
league members may enter Canada with
out paying duty on their wheels, pro
viding they return by the same port.
Champion E. C. Bald lately contribut
ed an article to the New York Journal,
entitled Are You Learning to Ride a
Wheel? and discourses how to find health
and pleasure in the pastime, Bald de
clares that when he first began to ride
he was a puny boy. but during a single
year he gained wonderfully in both
health and strength. He says he has
never experienced an hour's inconven
ience or suffering as a result uf riding
He does not believe that the "bicycle
face, hump or mania exist except in
cases of a few extremists on the mind of
cranky doctors who never rode a wheel
His own acquaintance among bicycle
riders leaves him with the impression
that "the bicycle face" is a healthy,
happy face, that looks as if its wearer
was entirely capable of taking care of
himself and enjoying life thoroughly.
The "hump" he admits has a a little
more tangible existence, for there are
some riders who affect a scorching posi
tion whenever they ride, and do have
the appearnccs of being deformed. Bald
recommends young riders to keep a
check on their ambition and not to over
estimate their ability. Finally he does
not uefmire bloomers for ladies and pre
fers the shirt waist to the sweater. The
best saddle for a lady he believes to be
Short and broad one of soft leather
and made with a short nose. AVliat Bald
regards as the correct position in riding
allows considerable weight to rest upon
the handle bars. If you set as straight
as a ramrod, he says, your spine gets
all the jar of the wheel and your calves
all the physical development that is
gained. If part of the weight is thrown
upon the arms, they, the muscles of the
chest and to a greater or less extent the
whole body will be the gainers.
THE HORSE
The handsome stallion, Forest
Wilkes, 2:141 L who has paced a mile in
one minute and a quarter in 2:08, is to
be sold at the Cleveland Blue Ribbon
sale next month.
On April H the District of Columbia
committee of the house acted favorably
upon the Bartlett racing bill to permit
horse racing in the District of Columbia.
The bill authorizes the incorporation of
racing organizations, and under it
meetings can be held only between April
30 and Nov. 1, and between sunrise anel
sunset. There cannot be more than
forty days of racing on any track in
a season.
J. C. Bauer, proprietor of the Horse
Review of Chicago, is in California for
the first time. He ia an enthusiastic
horseman, and aB such is an able news
paper man.
Leonard Gibson of this city has an
interesting and timely article in tbe
Breeder und Sportsman on the ques
tion, "Where are the Horses to Come
From?'' He points out the fact that
many large stock farms have lately
gone out of existence, and no large
horses have been imported to this state
for years. "Where are the teamsters
in all the cities on this coast to get their
large horses from?"
The Derby price- of Richard Croker's
Montauk has shortened to 30 to 1. The
horse is daily finding many friends and
It Is not impossible that he may prove
another Iroquois. Croker's Ainericus
is entered for the Jubilee stakes to be
run today.
The San Francisco Breeder and
Sportsman says: ' The' leasing of the
Los Angeles track to Thos. J. Williams
Jr., president of the California Jockey
club, is looked upon most fuvorably by
all who nre interested in equine affairs
In that beautiful city. That he will
make it one of the finest courses in
California and keep II in first-class con
dition for horsemen is acknowledged

by all who know this thorough gentle
man."
The Sullivan starting machine Is to
be operated on an eastern track under
the control of the Jockey club. The
management of the Bennings course
has decided to steer clear of the legal
complications that surround the many
machines patterned alter the Austra
lian idea. The machine now at Sheeps
head Bay was approved and the in
ventor informed of the fact. The Sulli
van machine is bused upon an entirely
different idea from the gates now in
use in the south and far west. As it
is protected by letters patent issued
four years ago there is little chance of
lawsuits en account of its use. There
will be a trial of the machine In the early
part of next week at the Sheepshead
Hay track. The machine will be trans
ferred from the mile post In the chute
to a place ill front of the grand stand,
ff the machine is a success at Bennings
it w ill be indorsed by the Jockey Club,
and will be used in all the tracks In tho
metropolitan district.—Morning Adver-
tiser.
A new departure in the method of
judging horses wns inaugurated at the
joint horse show recently held in Lon
don by the Royal Commission on Horse
Breeding and the Hunters' Improve
ment society. Instead of having nil the
work done in the ring, tho judges, to
gether with the veterinary inspectors,
began their work in the morning short
ly before S ocloek, by looking over the
competitors and making preliminary
selections, which latter were inspected
by the veterinarians. This weeding out
process narrowed down the competi
tion nnd greatly facilitated the work
of making the final awards. Out of 110
entries in the royal commission branch
of the show sixty-rive were selected at
the preliminary judging. This number
was further decreased by eight after
the veterinary surgeons bad examined
them, leaving only fifty-seven fur the
final contest in the ring.
The veteran writer on trotting horse
breeding and ex-editor of the American
Trotting Register is again on the war
path. Some years ago Sir. AVallaco
declared that no thoroughbred horse
had ever been known to pace, and to
prove the faith that was in him he of
fered a reward of $100 to anybody who
would produce a thoroughbred who
could perform at the lateral gait. Mr.
Wallace still has his $100. There are
many pacers with a large infusion of
thoroughbred blood, but no pacer has
yet been discovered of uncontaminated
thoroughbred blood. Mr. Wallace is
now out with another reward, which is
distinctly aimed at his old army of an
tagonists who believe in lots of thor
oughbred blood in trotting stock. He
offers a reward of $100 to any person
who will produce a strictly thorough
bred that has made a trotting record
of 8:00 or better within the past fifteen
years. It is not necessary to produce
the horse. All that la required Is to prove
the performance and the pedigree. This
is rubbing it in.
BICYCLE BUSINESS
CHICAGO. April 10. — The election
committee of tbe Century Road club of
America met iv Chicago to-day and
canvassed the vote for the election of
Officers of that organization. The result
was the re-election of President AVill
iam Skinner of Cleveland and Secretary
C. M. Fairehild ol' Chicago. For the
first vice-presidency D. N. Adee of New
A'ork was successful, succeeding Milton
Klein of Philadelphia. O. W. Lawson
of Louisville. Ky.. succeeds AA r . M. Brew
ster of Philadelphia as treasurer. The
prospects for great activity in the Road
club this season are particularly good,
the association being on a better foot
ing than ever before.
GARDEN CITY HANDICAP. .
SAX JOSE, April 19.—The Garden City
cyclers' five-mile road race took part
to-day over the new course of the Mon
terey, from San Martin tn a point near
Gilroy. There were thirty-six entries

spite of a strong south wind excellent
time was mude. The finish was the most
exciting ever witnessed, fifteen men
crossing the tape in a bunch.
Oscar Smith, forty-live seconds handi
cap, finished first; time. 1-1:38. Julius
Smith, fifteen seconds handicap, sec
ond; time, 14:08 1-5.
A CUP RACE.
STOCKTON, April 19—Four men
from the Capital City wheelmen and
four men from the Terminal City club
of this city went out to-day to mark off
the relays for the race that is to be
run between Sacramento and Stockton
next Sunday for the AA'einstock & Luhin
silver cup. The race will be started
from Sacramento and will end there, the

and the longest relays will be ten miles.
The boys will leave the capital city at
10 o'clock and will make the turn here
at about noon.
BASEBALL GAMES
ST. LOUIS, April 19.—Breltcnstein
was in the box and won the game for
the Browns, who gave him excellent sup
port. Parker held the home team down
to a few runs during the early part' of
the game, but toward the ond they
found him often and batted him hard.
Attendance, 17,000. Score:
St. Louis—lll; hasehits, S; errors, 2.

Louisville—3; basehits. 10; erors, 2.
Batteries—Rhines and Vaughn; Fra
zer and Cunningham and Warner.
THE RING~
Sailor Sharkey apparently did not
get all he wanted from the fists of Joe
Choynskl the other night in San Fran
cisco, for he is out with another chal
lenge. Tom now says that he can
whip Choynski in a finish fight. On
the other hand Choynskl's friends are
satisfied that but for Sharkey's foul
blow ln 1 tic first round on Thursday
night Joe would have finished off the
sailor in less than five rounds. Choyn
ski will probably take no notice of the
sailor's yarning. He will remain in
San Francisco a couple of months and
needs a rest.
Professor William Manning has not
been doing so much talking lately since
Billy Gallagher offered to deposit $10)
with the Herald that he could knock the
doctor out of physical culture in eight
rounds.
Grlft'o seems to have entirely lacked
condition owing to his "steam beer
diet" in his mill with McKeever last
week. It is said that the Australian
has never really been in condition since
he arrived in this country.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST
The Senate Will Struggle With
Appropriations
THE BOND INVESTIGATION
Will Make a Fight for Right-of-
Way
\
In the House There It ne Program Set, and
the riembera Will Struggle
fur Precedence
WASHINGTON, April 19.—The pro
ice .line's in the senate tomorrow will
probably open with a contest for right
of way between the appropriations
committee anel the- friends of the Peffer
measure for un investigation of recent
bond sales anel upon tbe result of tills
will depenel largely the line of procedure
for the remainder of tho week.
Senate>r Pettigrew. who is in charge
of the Indian appropriation bill, which
has been only partially considered, will
make an effort to get the bill up im
mediately after the disposal of the rou
tine business of the morning hour, and
if objection is made will that the
senate decide by vote whether to pro
ceed with the Indian bill. He says the
bill already has been held back a week
for the accommodation of other meas
ures and thut he will not consent to
further postponement except upon the
order of the senate itself. Other mem
bers o£ the committee are disposed to
take the tame position and to urge that
nothing shall stand in the way of the
appropriation bills for the present.
Senator Peffer is anxious not to an
tagonize the appropriation bills, but
be thinks the debate on the bond inves
tigation resolution cnukl be concluded
in another day or two. He has not yet
decided Whether he will yie ld te> the en
treaties of the appropriations commit
tee or allow the question to go tee a vote
upon its being reached, and is of the
opinion that after Senator Hill con
cludes his speech there will be no great
prolongation of the debate. He says the
friends of the resolution are not dis
posed to spend any time- in making
speeches on it. It is probable, there
fe>re, that he will make a plea to be
given another day or two to allow Sen
ator Hill to conclude, and that, failing
in this, he will yield upon consideration,
that the bill shall be allowed to retain
its place as the unfinished business and
upon receiving some assurance of fur
ther consideration.
There are at least two or three days
more of work on the Indian appropria
tion bill. The question of the abolition
of sectarian schools will still call out
considerable debate. Senator Piatt will
offer as an amendment to the bill the
plan agreed upon by the committee on
Indian affairs for a general settlement
of affairs in the Indian territory, and
this will develop discussion, as will also
the- provisions for the settlement ot the
Cherokee old settlers and in regard to
the freedmen of the territory.
The Indian bill will be followed by the
naval appropriation bill, and that by
the sundry civil appropriation bill,
though neither may be reached this
week. The latter has not yet been re
ported to the senate, but will be during
the week.
There is apparently a growing dispo
sition upon the part of some of the
Democratic leaders to prolong the ses
sion to a more distant day than has been
counted on for final adjournment, and
it is their tactics during the week which
will develop to some extent whether
this is true.
IN THE HOUSE
No Program Settled and All the Members
Anxious
WASHINGTON, April 19.—The pro
gram for the coming week in the house
is very unsettled. Mr. Henderson,
chairman of the judiciary committee,
has given notice that he will call up the
bankruptcy bill for consideration on
Wednesday and Thursday, but the ap
proaching end of the session has made all
members interested in this particular
legislation very active, and from now
there will be much jostling and crowding
for the right of way. It seems probable
that Mr. Henderson will be crowded out
this week at least. First of all, Mr.
Cannon, chairman of tho appropria
tions committee, is determined to push
through the general deficiency bill, the
last of the supply bills, at the earliest
possible moment, and as appropriation
bills are privileged he can be kept out
only by a vote of the house. As the
powers In control are desirous of fur
thering everything to an early adjourn
ment they are In full sympathy with
this purpose. He does not expect the
deficiency bill to consume more than a
day or two days at most.
Mr. Pickler, chairman of the commit
tee on invalid pensions, is very much In
earnest in his purpose to bring ln the
general pension bill reported from his
committee and he intends to press it at
every opportunity. With this legislation
also the manager of the house Is In
sympathy. There are in addition sev
eral contested election cases to be dis
posed of.
There is a particular desire to dis
pose of the case from the Fifth Ala
bama, the report on which unseats
Judge Cobb. The chances are, there
fore, against the bankruptcy bill this
week.
Tomorrow is suspension day. Rills of
the banking and currency committee,
the public lands committee and possi
bly the pensions committee will be
brought up.
STATE NOTES
Next Sunday will be the seventy-sev
enth anniversary of the order of Odd
Fellowship, and the occasion will be
celebrated at Stockton by religious ob
servances ln which all the lodges will
anticipate. The three lodges, two
lodges of Itebekahs and the encamp
ment and Canton Ridgley have- ap
pointed committees to arrange for the
celebration, and the first meeting waa
held yesterday.
Cloverdale and vicinity escaped the
frost devastation up to Saturday night,
when it suffered terribly. TSss-'ther
mometer fell to 34. and from all direc
tions came reports from vineyards al
most ruined. E. G. Furber, a prom
inent vineyardist, reports incalculable
damagt! in his district, und the river
grapes are a total loss. There is some
hope, however, in the prospective sec
ond crop. This destruction will cause
untold hardship to this section, as so
much depends on the vineyards. Otln r
fruit is so far advanced beyond the
frost but little damage can be done.
There was a heavy frost at
Woodland on Saturday night and
more damage resulted than on ac
count of any other frost this sea
son. The fruit crop is so far advanced
that it was not materially injured, but
grapes and vegetables wore badly dam
aged. Potatoes, tomatoes and olhoi
vegetables in some localities have been
almost ruined. The grape crop hai
been reduced fully one-third. Tho
frost seems to have fallen In streaks.
No two vineyards have been treated
alike.
A heavy hall storm occurred at Tracy
yesterday lasting fifteen minutes. In
the afternoon and evening about twen
ty-five hundredts of an inch of ruin
fell.

The London rlarkcts
LONDON, April 19.—While the lead
ing banking institutions have a tacit
agreement nut to lend money under
half per cent, it has been possible dur
ing the past week to obtuln advances
elsewhere at t|s low as one-quarter
cent. With consols at over 112 it is
quite impossible to have an Idea when
the upward movement of all investment
securities is likely to stop. As a result
of the excessive cheapness of money at
tention is being directed lo any stock
showing a fair Interest return. The
tendency of the week has been upward
all around. Spanish securities have de
clined slightly. Home securities showed
an inactive feeling. Africans were in
active pending the development of the
situation iv Africa. American securi
ties show a more healthy tone, seem
ingly on the belief that the feeling is
gl owing in favor of the gold standard.
Advances for the week include Can
adian Pacifies, 3: Wabash, 6; Louis
ville and Nashville, 1%: Chicago. Mil
waukee and St. Paul, lit; Denver and
Rio Grande, preferred and Grand

ABUSED A GIRL
Tiled to Drag • Mere Child late s (.edging
Home at Night
An exciting Incident occurred at 12:30
ocloek this morning ln the hallway ot a
lodging house on North Main street.
The neighborhood was suddenly arous
ed by the screams of a frightened wo
man, and the knot of passers by that
quickly assembled discovered a young
girl of perhaps 16 strgugllng ln the arms
of a man who was endeavoring to force
her up the stairway to the rooms above.
This /die resisted with all her might,
but her captor still strove to drag her
with him.
He was a man of perhaps 30 years of
age, small in stature and fashionably
clad, wearing a nobby light overcoat.
To the girl's entreaties that she be
taken home he turned a deaf ear and en
deavored by cajolery and force alter
nately to compel her to accompany him.
Finally two young men who had wit.
nessed enough oi the scene interfered)
on the girl's behalf and stated ln em
phatic terms that they did not propose
to stand by and see any child dragged
to her ruin.
At this the scoundrel hurried thechild
toward a two-seated buggy which was
standing near by, and, placing her ln it.
drove rapidly off. Not proposing to see
the villain escape in this manner the
voting men followed on the run and
jumped in themselves. They shouted
lustily for a policeman, and Officer Fay
soon hove in sight. The whole party
was taken to the station and the sob
bing and hysterical girl placed in the re
ceiving hospital. Her assailant posi
tively refused to give his name or any
particulars, so was without ceremony
hustled into a cell and a charge of
drunkenness placed against him. The
horse and buggy was placed in a stable
for the night.
From the girl's appearance she la
evidently of respectable family and
cannot be more than 16 years old at the
outside. She is said to reside on Hill
street, between Sixth and Seventh.
After recovering somewhat from her
nervous condition she told something of
her story, the particulars of which need
not be mentioned. From her account it
is evident that the designs of her as
sailant were of the worst. The names of
her rescuers, Tom Harrington and Mark
Johnson, were taken by the police to be
, used in the prosecution of the case if
necessary.
THE VISITING* HOTEL MEN
Sunday Was Passed at Coronado and Quietly
Observed
Yesterday was a typical Southern Cal
ifornia clay and the members and ladles
of the H. M. M. B. A. enjoyed It very
much.. The morning hours were gener
ally given to rest, though quite a number
patronised the hot salt water plunge
nnd bath rooms, while a few went fish
ing. The local Presbyterian and Epis
copal c hurches drew to their doors some
cf the strangers, but the great majority
spent the large portion of the day in the
lotunda and court of the Hotel Del Cor
onado, upon the porches or out upon the
sands. The ufternoon witnessed more
animation, however. There were driv
ing and riding parlies, a trip to Tia-
Juana, where the ladies and gentlemen
stepped over upon Mexican soil and then
stepped back again; a ride out upon tha
jetty at the entrance to the harbor;
swimming pari lea without number In the
great plunge and a general circulation
in and about the hotel. In the afternoon
one of the tlshing parties returned with
ri c atch of about 160 pounds, comprising
bnrracouda, mackerel and yellow-tall.
They reported great sport.
Last evening Prof. G. Wharton James
delivered his popular lecture upon the
snake-dances of the Southwest and the
Grand canyon of the Colorado, to an
appreciative audience.
Continual expressions of pleasure and
surprise at the wonderful beauty, at
tractiveness and fertility of the soil of
Southern California were heard.
Today will be Kan Diego day. There
will be a drive, a reception by the mayor
and a lunch at the Hotel Florences which
is under the management of George W.
Lynch, president-elect of the H. SI. M,
B. A.
1 n the evening the annual banquet will
take place ln the large? dining room of
the Hotel Del Coronado, at which over
four hundred covers will be laid. The
set speeches of the occasion will be by
Governor Budd on California and Ben
jamin H. Yard, its president, on the 11.
M. M. B. A. It promises to bo a great
affair.
SHOT OFP HIS TOE
Accident to a Youth While Out Hunting Near
Lynwood
P. J. Frowiss, a manufacturing Jewel
er whose place of business is at 430 South
Spring street, yesterday took his family,
out in the country to visit a friend
named Herman, who resides on a ranch
near the little village of Lynwood. The
day was spent by the women folks in
(hatting, while the men along in the
afternoon took shotguns and went out
to seek the festive jackrabbit. Her
man's little son Rudolph, about 14 years
old, went along and was permitted to
carry one of the guns for a time.
In some manner, due to careless han
dling, the weapon was discharged while
in the boy's hands, resulting in the load
passing into the ground at his feet, at the
same time carrying away a portion of
the big toe on the left foot. Frowiss.
placed the boy in his carriage and drove
into town and to the receiving hospital,
where Dr. Bryant fixed up the injured
member. One half of the toe was cut
clean off by the charge, but luckily the
wound is not at all dangerous. Had the
Shot struck a little further up on the
foot it would, at that close range, have
torn it iv such a manner as to necessi
tate amputation.
After having his foot dressed, during
which operation Rudolph shed copious
tears, Frowiss took the lad back to his
home. The next time young Herman
goes a-hunting he will probably use a
club.
Why Tlo Top If Popular
The keynote to the wonderful success
of Tip Top Cough Syrup Is "quality."
It is absolutely true that the pleasant
taste of Tip Top has been much ln Its
favor, but the characteristic feature of
being ' the best I've ever tried" is the
true reason for its popularity. Your
druggist sella it at GO cents v bottle.
Ladles and Misses Tournament
It is announced that the work of ar
ranging the details for the ladles' and
girls' bicycle tournaments, to be held
shortly at Athletic park, is progressing
favorably. There will probably be five
races for ladies and five for girls, and
with each a valuable priz» will go.
