and to B. Dougherty's credit be it said that
of a 1 men interested in the sport of the
ieash he is one of the few whose dogs are
always in tit condition to race for a man's
life if necessary. T. Cronin is another
great trainer whose charges are always in
the front whether the contests are held on
inclosed ground or on the renowned plains
«f Merced. A dog cannot be in good con
dition to race unless he has had the hand
ling of an experienced trainer. A poor
running dog can be made a tolerably good
running dog if he undergoes a thorough
course of training under the eye of a man
who has made a study of the "feeding, the
exercise and the physicking a running dog
must have to bring out all of the latent
speed he may be the possessor of. It is
just as easy a thing to overtrain at it is to
undertrair. a dog, and it requires no small
amount of experience on the part of a
trainer to know just when a dog is in fit
tiny condition to enter the slips.
Sportsmen pay as high as $150 to a
trainer for breaking a setter or pointer on
game birds. But a coursing man would
look at $50 many times before lie will pay
that sum to a competent handler of grey
hounds; and of the two kinds of sport the
courser who wins a first prize pockets at
least three times the amount that a sports
man wins on the strength of his pointer
or setter taking first prize at a held trial
meeting. ,
An excellent programme of races will oe
introduced to-morrow at Ocean View park,
and any person who baa never seen hares
pursued by hounds should not lose the op
portunity of witnessing the meeting.

HANDBALL.
Players Who Cannot Agree Upon
Courts— Games To-Morrow.
An unexpected hitch has arisen in the
arrangements for the match between M. J.
Kilgallon, the Denver champion, and J.
Harlow, the coast champion. The under
standing was that the match would take
place in the San Francisco court, but
when the parties met on Monday night to
settle the preliminaries Kilgallon made it
a condition that they stiould play the best
of five games in each of the three courts,
the San Francisco, Occidental and Union.
This Harlow's friends objected to
on the ground that it would take
too Ions: to decide who was the
winner, and also that it would make
the match look too much like a "fake."
They were willing that if a match, the best
of live games, was played in the San Fran
cisco court to decide the championship, as
originally proposed, Harlow would play a
return match in either of the other courts
selected by Kilgallon. So the matter
rests at present, neither party having
shown any inclination to agree to the
other's terms. There is a keen desire on
the part of handball players to- sec a match
between these two, and it is a pity that a
hitch of this kind should intervene to pre-
J. Harlow, Champion of the Coast.
vent it. It will certainly not have a
tendency to increase the popularity of the
game. It was something of a similar
nature that prevented the match between
Harlow and Riordan for the coast cham
pionship, and if the Kilgallon-Harlow
match should end in a like fiasco the best
interests of handball will suffer.
Another match that will excite consider
able interest has been arranged between
Kilgallon and T. P. Bonnet of the Occi
dental court. Bonnet is unquestionably
one of the cleverest amateur players on
the coast and his friends think that* he can
defeat Kilgallon. He plays purely for the
love of the sport, and the match will ac
cordingly be a question of skill, but it
will be none the less exciting because
there will be no money on the result. Xo
date has yet been fixed for the match.
Kilgallon, since his defeat with Harlow
as a partner and later with Lawless as a
partner by Champion Jones of Australia,
has been hunting around for another part
ner to try conclusions with Jones again..
it is said- that he has fixed upon R. Leni
han, the clever amateur player of the
Union court. Lenihun has probably no
equal on the line, and Kilgallon thinks
with him there he could deal effectively
with Jones' tossing. Jones expresses his
willingness to play the two whenever they
find it convenient for any amount.
The match between \V. McManus, pro
prietor of the Union court, and Phil Ryan,
proprietor of the .San Francisco court,
hanes tire, and people are unkind enough
to say that each is afraid of the other.
They "both express an overwhelming de
sire to play the match, each being assured
of success, but no arrangements have yet
been made. McManus still carries the
chip on his shoulder and wants Phil to
knock it off, but Phil thinks he has an equal
right to carry a chip on his shoulder and is
waiting for Billy to knock it off. How it
will all end is a mystery.
It is safe to say that if the match should
come off it will be worth coming miles to
see. So as not to be caught napping Ryan
is dieting himself in anticipation of a hard
contest. He has venison and poached eegs
for breakfast, quail and toast washed
down by half a dozen XXX's for dinner,
game chicken and half a dozen red-hot
tamales for supper. Ryan knows a trick
or two worth keeping.
The following are the principal games to
be played in the Occidental court to
morrow: C. J. McOlvnn and D. M.Stan
ley against P. P. McCormick and Gerald
Goggin; Al Collins and L. Konny against
M. Condon and J. Slattery; Wiilie Jacobs
and Ben Clemmens against J. E. O'Meara
and T. Clemmens. In the game of the day
T. F. Bonnet and Ed Maloney will play
against John Purcell and Charlie Sullivan.
This afternoon Amateur Champion Don
elly will play Purceli and Stanley at

UKIAH SPORTING.
Andy Clunle's Wonderful Shot In
the Dark— Gun and Rod.
UKIAH, Cal., July 25.— From the number of
persons camping, fishing, etc., it is evident
that the natural attractions of Mendocino
County for camping and outing and the abun
dance of fish and game are becoming weil
known.
It is rather late for trout fishing except at re
mote points and sources of streams not visited
in the spring, where perhaps the chances of
bagging good catches of fish are belter.
Judge McGarvey is spending a few days' va
cation on the coast. Attorney J. Q. White is
hidden away in some remote forest spot. J. A.
Cooper has just returned from rd Alaskan trip.
Senator Seawell in a few days will make the
circuit of remote points and Attorney W. I.
Thcmas is out with a party of friends, who are
looking for venison steak for breakfast. Dr.
Stout, with a party, is camping near San
Hedrin, having bushels of sport and saddles of
venison.
J. H. Smith's family is camped on Mill Creek,
above the asylum, where the water is cold and
the shade is dark. So you see that I'kiah peo
ple do not let outsiders monopolize all the
pleasures of sporting and outing furnished by
nature in Mendocino.
: Dr. J. Oliver of Ban Francisco, and wife, and
D. Buckley of the Hibernia Bank recently
spent about two weeks in their favorite local
ity, -the North Fork. of the Navarro. These
gentlemen would consider life a blank were
they deprived ot spending their summer vaca
tion on the Navarro.
. The "Grace Hudson" camping party spent
two weeks near Phila, on the main Navarro, in
the Bendy redwoods. These redwoods are per
haps the largest and finest in the whole county,
and is the place that the "Hudson" party has
selected for its summer outing for seven years.
There were ten persons in all. Professor T. H.
d'Estrella of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at
Berkeley, who was the photographer of the
camp; Mr. and Mrs. Hudson; Captain C.V.

near Low Gap, in the vicinity of the head
waters of the Navarro and Indian Creek.
They were comfortably housed in a logger's
cabin in the woods, and with mattresses of
ferns and pine leaves, enjoyed that peaceful
rest and sleep which is foreign to the lives of
both those gentlemen in the metropolis.
They got but one deer, however, a fine fonr
prongbuck, brought to earth by a well-directed
shot from the rifle of the Railroad Commis
sioner. This was his first acer, and there was
much rejoicing over the doctor's success. The
doctor didn't chase over|rough chemisal peaks
at break of day to get him. He saw tracks
around a small spring about two miles from
camp and concluded that to wait near the
spring was the easiest and most natural way to
get his game.
This was the event of camp, although Andy
Clunie subsequently killed a Silurian panther
in such a way as to "make Kit Carson jealous.
The dressed venison in camp attracted the var
mints, which, from the noises made, ven
tured uncomfortably close to the cabin.
One night the disturbance awoke the occu
pants, and Andy, with a spirit of unselfishness
characteristic of him, desired that his friend,
the doctor, should have the honor of killing a
panther, too. But the doctor said that panther
was too easy game, and called to Truman ; but
Truman ca'id he wasn't used to night hunting,
and Clunie, fearine the panther wouid get
away, took the doctor's rifle and stole out into
the "darkness and the night. Hearing the
crackling of the leaves, he. looked in the di
rection oi the noise, and there saw what he
knew must be the tire of the animal's eyes.
He fired four shots as rapidly as possible, and
then retired to camp.
The next morning they found traces of blood
and following the trail found the brute dead
about 400 yards away. All four shots struck
the mark, three in the body and one in the
hind leg, proving beyond argument that Andy
is a bird in the dark with gun in hand.
After these adventures the party came to
town to celebrate the event, and Clunie gave
the skin to his friend J. C. Ruddock.
Mr. Truman took the train for the City, and
Dr. Manton and A. J. Clunie accompanied by
Mr. J. C. Ruddock went to Walter Valley Creek
fibbing. A good catch was made, and a de
licious trout breakfast was served on Monday
morning last at the Palace Hotel.
The doctor and Mr. Clunie were loath to
leave, and promise to return for a much longer
stay as soon as their business will permit.
J. C. Ruddock mourns the loss of liib thor
oughbred setter "Dan," who strayed away on
Saturday last and has not been heard of since.
He was a brown and white Lewellyn, being
broke to field work for fall hunting.
A humorous story is always in order when
speaking of fishing or hunting, and the boys
who know Jim Morris, the genial engineer of
the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Rail
way Company, have what they think a good
joke on him. "Jim, of course, in the interest ol
the road he serves so well, is never backward
about advertising the aoundance of fish and
game at points near the road, between Clover
dale and Ukiah. Speaking of the number of
deer and their nearness to accessible points he
said to several the other evening that he fre
quently saw deer from the engine along the
line of 'the road, and that one day last week a
large buck came so close to the cab that he
reached back, and grabbing a large piece of
coal from the tender he struck the deer with
it, almost felling it.
The engine burns wood altogether— but Jim
forgot. Nimrod.
SAN JOSE SPORTING.
The Santa Clara Valley Will Be
Stocked With Pheasants.
SAN JOSE, Cal., July 2(5.— A party of fisher
men just returned from the Ysabel report a re
markable discovery, which, If true, will fur
nish some good sport for the finders and their
friends during the rest of the season. The
party was camped along the Ysabel, and one
day one of its anglers discovered at the river's
head a landslide, above which was a natural
reservoir of about 200 yards in length. The
pond was literally alive with large landlocked
trout, and now the sportsmen of San Jose pro
pose makine the place a preserve.
But for the usual activity and Interest dis
plnyed among the cyclists sports of all kinds
in the Garden City would be dead. Several
parties have gone deer-hunting, but have met
with poor success. Game Warden Mackenzie
has planted 50,000 trout in our streams and is
now making arrangements to introduce
Japanese pheasants into this valley. Pheas
ants have done well in Oregon, and there
is no reason why if introduced here
and protected for a few years there should
not be good pheasant-shooting. Everything
points to quail being numerous this season;
along the mountain roads flocks upon Mocks
of young ones are to be seen. With the pres
ent fish and game laws strictly enforced for the

be had in this valley. For a long time the

creating the office of game warden Is regarded
by sportsmen as the best move ever made in
their interest, and it is certain had game war
dens and deputies been as numerous ten years
ago as they are to-day, there would have been
some decent fishing and hunting in our valley
now.

Shaw on Howard Threw Away
a Race Through Gross
Carelessness.
THREE OF THE CHOICES WON.
Rear* Guard Proved More Than a
Match for the Gray Horse
Sir Richard.
Two bookmaking firms had enough, the cut
in yesterday reducing their number to the
Bolid eight again.
Both Dancing Girl and Edgemount were
backed down several points in the betting on
the two-year-old race. The former ran a very
creditable race.
Zeke Abrahams' good filly, City Girl, fell
while the field was at the post, but by the way
she came at the finish it undoubtedly did not
mitigate against her chance.
Perhaps sporiod handsome new colors yester
day. The youngster has been on the sick list
for some time, but the owner, Jim Neil,
thought him good enough to win, and he re
ceived extensive backing. He ran a fine race,
which he will probably improve next time out.
By an Ignoble sire that could not earn his
oats racing and of a build that a horse con
noisseur would not go into ecstacies over, the
gelding Charley Boots ran away from his field
yesterday, comprising sons and daughters of
such blue-blooded sires as St. Carlo, Kosciusko,
Three Cheers and imp- Trade Wind. Named
after the owner of the Elmwood stock farm
string Mr. Boots at first threatened awful
vengeance on Messrs. Legg and Taylor, owners
of the gelding; but as he has since shown his
heels to some of the get of Owner Boots' great
stud, imp. Brutus, he is beginning to feel
nattered, and no doubt the two horsemen who
took such a desperate chance have been for
given.
Hammered down and plugged, backed
off the boards by ye wise folk, broken be
yond all doubt an eighth of an inch from
the wire, just a jockey's nap, and then
took the money. The horse that fell heir
to all this phenomenal luck was Royal
Flush in the short six-furlong handicap
yesterday, Howard was quoted favorite at
8 to 5 in the opening betting, but such a
vast quantity of coin went in on Royal
Flush that the latter went to the post an
even money chance, while 2% to 1 was
laid against Howard. Nervoso and Road
Runner were the only other starters. To
say the least, everything connected with
the race had a very hunk}'-tonky look.
Nervoso went outand made the running
when the field was dispatched, with Royal
Flush at his neels, and in this order they
turned the bend for home. Nervoso soon
had enough and fell back, giving the lead
to Flush. Howard now loomed up on the
horizon and in a few jumps was at the
leader's saddle-skirts. A furlong from the
stand Howard was galloping, while Hin
richs had gone to the bat on Royal Flush.
Beit to Hinrichs' credit, he kept at work
on a beaten horse, and success crowned his
efforts. In a finish that would do credit
to a somnambulist, Shaw on Howard ap
f>arently went into a trance, and when he
lad awakened Royal Flush had beaten his
mount a long neck. It was a pretty end
ing to a delightful farce. Nervose was
third and the time was 1:12%.
While the entries were not numerous,
the card was an improvement on the day
preceding, and the crowd was also some
what swelled by a few new faces. Three
favorites, a second and a third choice
earned glory and dollars.
The 8 to 5 favorile Sh«ridan for the open
ing race over the short six furlongs finished
back in the ruck. Barcaldine, backed from
5 to 13 to 5, won cleverly hy half a length
from Josie G, the second choice. Gold
Dust run into Shaw.
Although receding in the betting from 2
to 3 to 1 that husky youngster Chailie
Boots jumped into the lead when the flag
fell on the two-year-old race, and, although
pushed along at a merry pace by Perhaps,
never relinquished the lead, winning at
the wire h.y a nose from City Girl, who
came through next the rail and nearly
stole the race. Elise was a fair third. The j
five furlongs was reeled off in l:OL'J<j'.
The six and a half furlong run furnished
but three starters, and Sir Richard opened
a hot Ito 2 choice. Latterly he went back
in the betting to 15 to 20 from the force of
coin that went in on Rear Guard. Sir
Richard made a good run, but when it
came down to a pinch the last furlong,
Rear Guard passed him and won easily by
a neck in 1:21. Nebuchadnezzar ■- was
beaten off. •
The last race, over a mile, looked a
turkey-trot for Boreas, and such it proved,
for he went to the post 7to 20 and won as
he pleased from Carmel,who sulked during
one stage of the journey, but again ' came
strong, at the end and downed Miss Buck

BAD FOR THE BOULEVARD.
An Informal Discussion on Pavement*
hy the Finance Committee of the
Supervisors.
The Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors met yesterday afternoon and
informally discussed the Folsom-street
boulevard and the completion of the new
City Hall. Chairman Taylor seemed to be
against the incorporation of an $80,000 ap
propriation in the tux levy for the boule
vard. Supervisor Taylor said that he was
not in favor of tearing ud pavements
which had been in place only sixty days
for the accommodation of wheelmen at the
expense of the City, which is not in condi
tion to stand the expense.
Regarding the proposition to include an
appropriation in the tax levy for the com
pletion of the new City Hall, Mr. Taylor
was opposed to taking any action this
year. The committee was to have met
"last night to consider the tax levy, but
postponed the meeting until next Tuesday
night in consequence of the absence of
Supervisor Benjamin from the City.
FIGHTING THE STEAMERS.
The Southern Pacific Com
pany Slaughters Rates to
Oregon.
Freight Tariff From California Re
duced More Than One-Half.
Refrigerator Cars.
The Southern Pacific Company issued a
freight tariff yesterday to take effect Au
gust 1 on all shipments between stations
on the railway in California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah and Nevada and the
stations in Oregon, Ashland to Portland,
inclusive.
According to the latest schedule old
rates have been ruthlessly slaughtered,
such a rate as $1, for instance, being re
duced to 40 cents on 100 pounds. And it
all came about through the competition of
coasting steamera.
The railroad people found that it was
losing the cream of its freighting business
to points within the influence of water
transportation, and have made sweeping
and general reductions which may be met
by the steamship companies immediately.
It may be that this is the beginning of a
rate war which will be watched with con
siderable interest by shippers.
From San Francisco, San Jose, Sacra
mento and intermediate points, the follow
ing reductions have been made to Portland,
East Portland, Willsburg. Milwaukee,
Clackamas, Paper Mill, Oregon City, New
Era, Canby, Barlows, Aurora, Hubbard,
Woodburn^ Gervais, Brooks, Salem, Tur
ner, Marion, Jefferson, Albany:
First class, $1 to 40 cents; second, 90 to 40;
third, 85 to 40 ; fourth, 75 to 35 ; in carloads,
fifth class, 65 to 30; class A, 57 to 30; class B,
45 to 25; class C, 40 to 25; class D, 35 to 20;
class E, 30 to 20 cents a hundred pounds.
To Eugene and Roseburg the rates have
also been reduced in harmony with those
made against the steamers. They are as
follows in the same respective classes:
Eugene, $1 to 75. 90 to 71, 85 to 67, 75 to 58,
65 to 51, 57 to 51, 45 to 43, 40 to 36, 35 to 28,
30 to 27. Ro«eburg, $1 45 to 99, $1 27 to Hi,
$1 20 to 86, $ 1 06 to 77. 93 to 68, 84 to 66, 68 to
54, 57 to 45, 48 to 35, 42 to 32 cents a hundred
pounds.
A weekly refrigerator car service from
San Francisco, Sacramento and Reno to
Ogden, Butte, Helena and intermediate
stations for the purpose of transporting
dairy products, fresh tisb, fresh meats and
oysters in less than carload quantities was
definitely announced yesterday. The first
car will leave San Francisco August 2, and
a car will leave every succeeding Friday
thereafter. The rates will be on each one
hundred pounds as follows:
Butter, in boxes or barrels, or in tin, $1 93;
cheese, in boxes, tubs or casks, $193; eggs,
O. R. B. and weather, or released, in barrels or
boxes or in patent carriers, $193; fish, fresh,
O. R. of decay and weather, or released, $2 10;
oysters and ciams, fresh, O. R. of loss, decay
aiid weather, or released, in tubs, cans or keg.«,
.f2 10, in shells, in barrels, $1 93; meats, fresh
O. R. of weather and delay of trains, or released,
$2 10; poultry, dressed, O. R. of weather, or
released, in barrels or boxes, or in barrels or
boxes with slatted or cloth tops, $2 10.
Sentenced by Judge Wallace.
Judge Wallace has returned from his vaca
tion, and yesterday he was ready to deal out
his Friday sentences from the old stand.
James Wilkinson, convicted of assaulting
Policeman Minnehan, was sent to prison for
two years. A. J. Whiteman, the young ex
millionaire convicted of forgery, was not sen
tenced, as his attorneys asked for a postpone
ment.
Hanly Declared Insane.
Thomas J. Hanly, the dope fiend who mur
derously attacked his mother and brother with
a hatchet last Saturday night, was taken before
the Insanity Commissioners Thursday and
committed to the Napa Asylum. The cases of
assault to murder against him were called in
Judge Low's court yesterday and continued
till to-morrow.
FEEDING THE NERVES.
From the Courier- Herald, Saginaw, Mich.
Do you see those two men walking up the
street? One has a vigorous, firm, elastic step;
his head well up, his eyes bright, a picture of
a sound and perfect man. The other is bent,
his knees weak and unsteady, a listless air
about his whole make-up. He has the appear
ance of one who is broken in health, and who
has to whip himself to every task. The differ
ence between these two men is a difference of
nerve power. With nerve power comes en
ergy, enterprise, force, vigor— all things which
make existence enjoyable. Without it the
muscles cannot act. the brain cannot think.
Bear in mind that life is nerve power, and if
you wish to keep i t you must feed the nerves,
bo not simply stimulate them, but coax them,
feed them. Give them the food which will re
new their life, and make them sound ana
heaithy that they may ward off disease.
Probably paralysis is the nearest disease to
nerve death that we know, and we therefore
cite a case of it below to show what a certain
famous nerve building preparation can do to
feed and absolutely restore almost hopelessly
wasted nerves.
There are but few in the Saginaw Valley but
who have known personally or made the ac
quaintance indirectly of W, H. Dawson, 618
I nion avenue, Snginaw, Mich., West Side.
Until the fall of ' 92 Mr. Dawson was as full
of Tigor as any younsr man. As a result of the
grip he became paralyzed. For this he was
treated by the best medical talent, and also
spent ten months at the Indiana State Insti-
I tute at Indianapolis. Here he contracted
I scarlet fever, and when heieft the institute he
was in a worse condition than when
he entered. On his return to Saginaw he
gave up entirely. He was such a care to his
friends. He was completely paralyzed from
his waist down, and his limbs were simply
skin and bones, with no life nor feeling in
them. After a while a friend prevailed on him
to try Pink Pills. In a few days he could move
his toes a trifle. He was greatly encouraged
and kept on with them. The following he
told our reporter:
"In two inon'hs' time I could move my limbs
about on the bed, and by the time another
month had seen me swallow this medicine, to
which I owe my life, I was able to get out of
bed alone. It has been Just about one year since
I learned of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and during
that time I have made such marked improve
ment that I gladly proclaim what they have
dono for me to all the world, and ask you fel
low-sufferers to try them and receive new life.
My lift', my all, I owe to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills.
"I am now comparatively fleshy with good
color and high spirit?, and every day brings
now strength and more happy life through the
contiuued use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
W. 11. DAWSON.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 27th
day of May, 1895. J. P. EVAN'S,
"Notary in and tor Saginaw County, Mich.
