THE FIELD OF SPORT.
What the Oarsmen, Athletes and
Cyclists Are Doing.
The managers of the National Athletic f
Club feel happy, because the entertainment
they propose giving at the Pavilion will
not be interfered with by the authorities. |
The boxers who will spar on this occasion j
are now in first-class condition, and a good j
evening's sport is assured. .
The wheelmen have planned several
road races for to-morrow.
The oarsmen are in strict training for
the races which will be held in Stockton j
rm July 4. Trie contest between crews
from the Pioneer and South End ooating
clubs will, it is thought, be the feature of :
the day's sport.
Coursine, handball, rifle-shooting and
other pastimes are Having good support.

The annual race meet of the North Cali- j
fornia Division, League of American j
Wheelmen, will be held this year at Peta
luma on July 4 and 5, under the auspices
of the Petaluma Wheelmen, who are striv
ing hard to make it a big success. The
fact that the division has grown so in
membership and power during the admin
istration of Chief Consul Kerrigan has
tended to give the meet greater importance
than ever before, and it will doubtless be j
attended by nearly all the league mem- j
bers in North California and by hundreds
of wheelmen from this City. Besides the
racing on Saturday, the 4th, there have
been arranged a smoker for the night of
the 3d, a bicycle lantern parade for valu
able prizes on the night of the 4th, and in
fact such a succession of events from Fri
day to Sunday evening that if visitors ex
pect to take in everything they will have j
little or no tiree for rest or sleep. i
Of course the bicycle races to be run Sat- I
urday afternoon will be the big feature ot
the meet. The following progamme of
events and prizes has. been arranged : i
One mile division championship amateur, ]
L- A. \V.— Three L. A. W. medals. I
Half-mile scratch, professional— s6o. $30, j
"* Half-mile scratch, amateur— Gold watch,
SF3S; suit to order, $25; gold sleeve buttons,

S One mile handicap, amateur— Gold watch or
suit to order, $35; diamond sleeve buttons,
$-5; trousers, $10.
One mile scratch tandem, one team from
each club, amateur— prize, $20 prize.
Entries close at Petaluma on June 26.
The races will be run on the four-lap track j
of the Petaluma wheelmen, which was |
first opened last year and has since been
improved upon until now it is without
doubt the best quarter-mile track on the
coast. The surface is laid with a peculiar
cement rocK, allowing a smooth finish and
giving it great speed qualities. It has
been especially prepared for the division
meet and altogether the track will be
found fast and absolutely safe at any rate
of speed. Ten men may be started in a
scratch event. Some of the track dimen
sions are: Home stretch, 35 feet wide;
back stretch, 40 feet; turns 25 to 30 feet.
Some new features are to be introduced
at this meet, which will tend to enliven
the contests considerably. The breaking
of a world's record will be rewarded ; if
by a professional, with $100 in gold coin;
if by* an amateur, with a $35 diamond.
Some of the other inducements offered for
speed are :
For the rider ahead at end of first lap in the
final of the half-mile scratch, amateur, $15
prize. i
For the rider ahead at end of first lap in the ]
final of the half-mile scratch, professional,
$15 gold coin.
Ii 1 :08, or better, is made in events No. 2or
No. 3. $15 coin or $15 prize additional to
winner.
The general committee on Fourth ot July
parade has provided prizes for clubs and in
dividual riders as follows: ChiD, first, $40
cup; second, $15; individual, $10 prize.
Entry blanks for the races may be se
cured by addressing Thomas Maclay. secre
tary race meet committee Petaluma
Wheelmen, Petaluma, Cal., and to him
all entry blanks should be returned when
filled out.
It is the duty of every league member
in California to lend his support to the
division meet and help to make it a suc
cess, and from the hearty way in which
the big city clubs and the division officers
are taking hold' of the affair, it seems
likeiy to be one of the largest meets and
biggest cycling functions ever held in the
State. The league has grown in popular
ity and importance to such a degree that a
league member now feels that he amounts
to someting besides merely belonging to a
wheeling organization together with fifty
thousand other souls. And the ad
vantages to be gained from a membership
in the league are so many, at a minimum
of expense, $1 per year, that it seems
poor economy for any wheelman not to
join. Applications and fuli data regard
ing the league may be had by addressing
the cycling editor of The Call.

The meeting of the California Cycling
Club last Monday evening was largely at
tended. Captain Mayo read a very well
written report of the Sunday's club run to
San Leandro. Haywards and Lake Chabot.
The mile handicap road race held by the
club at San Leandro last Sunday was won
by Van Dyne, with Birdsall second and
Theisen third. The time of the fastest
heat was 2:23. The club will celebrate its
fourth anniversary with the annual club
dinner, to be held on the evening of June
27. Indications point to a large attend
ance and a pleasant time
Many members of the California Cycling
Club are in training for the five-mile road
race to be held on Sunday, June 21. The
list of entries is already large. A new
course has been selected, starting on the
backstretch of the triangle, near San
Leandro, following the triangle course to
the junction of Haywards road and finish
ing in Haywards. While not official, the
course is fast, aa the roads are good and
the turns safe. A club smoker is one of
the events of the near future planned by
the Californias.
What promises to be one of the prettiest
races of the year'will be that scheduled to
take nlace at Manhattan Beach track July
25, between Walter Sanger, Eddie Bald
and Tom Cooper, three of the fastest men
on the American track. The match was
arranged by Dan Smith, representing the
New York Herald, and the occasion will
be the annual Herald meet for the benefit
of its free-ice fund. Otto Ziegler. Cali
fornia's star, and W. W. Hamilton of
Denver have also been invited to compete.
The prizes will be $300, $150 and $100. The
race will be paced throughout.
The Liberty Cycling Club will have a
run to-morrow under Captain Beattie to
Camp Taylor, taking the 8 a. m. Sausalito
boat and train to San Anselino.
W T alter O'Brien, first lieutenant of the
Garden City Cyclers of San Jose, has been
promoted to the captaincy, made vacant
by the resignation of Joseph B. Carey.
Cnarles Jarman will take Mr. O'Brien's
former office of lieutenant.
Dan E. Whitman, the speedy Los Ange
les rider, is in the City, and will ride at
the league meet at Petaluma on July 4.
He is in good shape and is riding faster
than ever before.
Captain Argenti has arranged a picnic
run of the Camera Club Cyclists for to
morrow to the vicinity of Camp Taylor.
The party will leave on the Ba. m. Sau
salito ferry and take the train as tar as
San Anselmo. Those not desiring to ride
the entire distance from there can proceed
by train to San Geronimo and there await
those who start from San Anselmo, thus
avoiding that bugbear of ;he Camp Taylor
trip, Whites Hill, which is not such a
hard climb after all, once you have reached
the top of it. A picturesque place will be
chosen on the Lagunitas Creek for lunch
ing. The entire distance round trip is but
22 miles from San Anselmo or 12 miles
from San Geronimo, and it is such easy
pleasant riding it is expected a great many
of the ladies of the club will make the
trip.
The Golden Gate Cycling Club will give
a party next Tuesday evening at its new
clnbrooms, Howard and Seventeenth
streets. In about a fortnight the club will
hold a tryout over the San Mateo-San
Carlos course to select a team for the.
twenty-mile Associated Clubs race next
month.
There seems to be some misunderstand
ing among those interested in cycle-racing
here as to the exact whereabouts of
Charley Wells, and the report was current
yesterday that he had returned to this
City. As stated in The Call last Satur
day, Wells was taken ill in Los Angeles
and the circuit-ci;asers went East without
him, but he has since followed on and is
now at Galveston, Tex., and ha 3no idea
of returning to the coast at present.
R. P. Aylward, Ziegler's trainer, writes
me from Galveston that Ziegler would tile
charges with the National racing board
against Tom Cooper and George Grant lor
an alleged foul during the one-mile pro
fessional race at Chester Park, Cincinnati,
May 16. The matter is creating an im
mense amount of talk in Eastern wheeling
circles where it has become known, as
Cooper and Grant would undoubtedly be
suspended if Ziegler's claims of crooked
work on their part were proven, and he
is said to have a strong case. Aylward
says that Ziegler paced the first lap of the
race and then dropped back, waiting for
some oue else to come to the front, but no
one would and he had to keep the pace.
On the last lap he was leading on the pole
and heard Grant yell to Cooper, "Come on,
Tom, I'll pull you through. Then. Zieg
ler alleges, Grant deliberately crowded him
off the track on to the grass and
kept him off for some distance, and
when Ziegler got back on the tracfc he
was fuliy twenty yards behind, with
Grant, Allen and Cooper setting a
hot clip for the tape. Ziegler, however,
kept right after them and managed to
land in third place, with Cooper first, Al
len second and Grant fourth. Zitgier
protested to Referee Croninger, who
promptly disqualified Grant for the next
event. Ziegler and Grant had a heated
discussion at the training quarters after
the race, and Grant later apologized to
Ziegler for his alleged act. From the
grand stand it was plainly visible that
Ziegler was forced off the track, but how it
occurred could not be seen.
It is quite likely that Cooper and Grant
may be indefinitely suspended for this
piece of crooked work. The two have been
working together on some "t>ot-hunting'
trip 3 and twice rode against Ziegler, who
competed, though out of condition, at the
request of the meet promoters, as he is a
great drawing card. Cooper and Grant
have thus far not ridden on the National
circuit, and they would not dare to try
such tricks there. One can imagine them
trying to crowd off Wells or Terrill, Bald,
Sanger or Coulter, all 200-pounders. They
would never know what struck them.
The Olympic Club Wheelmen of this
City and the Reliance Club Wheelmen of
Oakland will have a joint club run to-mor
row to Woodside, San Mateo County, via
Redwood City. Both clubs expect to turn
out in large numbers and the trip should
be a pleasant one.
The defeat of John S. Johnson abroad
by three foreign riders has been the sub
ject of considerable comment. That this
rider, who has proved himself a prize
winner and champion on this side of the
water, should be so unmercifully trounced
by men who would not stand a ghost of a
show against at least four American
riders, is 1 naturally a matter that has
proved irritable to the sensitive natures of
Americans who look upon successful con
quests in Europe as a matter of course.
But it must be understood that racing in
France is much different from the way it
is conducted in this country. Over there
a champion cyclist is the envied of the
I envied. He is feted and treated like a
lord while his star is in the ascendency,
but let him fall and the sympathies of the
people fly to his conqueror. Naturally
an intrepid race, the Frenchmen make
the most of their nerve, particularly in
cycle racing, where there are so many
competitors, and where it is a hard matter
to remain on top very long. The tracks
over there are very small and well banked.
To see the riders skurrying around the
turns or into the stretch is worth going
miles to witness. They do not know what
fear is, and American racing men must be
come accustomed to such competition.
The method of pacemaking in vogue in
France has been cot down to a system,
and French racing men know how to fol
low pace. Under such circumstances it is
not to be wondered at that Johnson has as
yet made but a poor showing. Three more
Americans will soon be competing on the
other side, Wheeler, Murphy and Riser.
Wheeler understands the tactics of the
men he must meet, for he has defeated the
best of them in international champion
ships. Riser and Murphy will soon be
initiated.
There will be three bicycle road races
held at Watsonville on July 3 in conjunc
tion with the Independence day celebra
tion there. The distances are one- third,
one-half and six and one-half miles, and
liberal prizes are offered.
The wheelmen of Eureka Valley have
organized the Golden Gate Wheelmen for

High street, Fruitvale. at 11 a. m. The
finish will be at Haywards, via San Lean

sides of the San Leandro triangle instead
of the usual straightaway course. This is
necessary, as the road between S:tn Lean

GUN AND DOG.
Recreation, Olympic and Lincoln
Gun Clubs' Shoot To- Morrow.
On Sunday the Recreation, Olympic and
Lincoln Gun clubs will hold their monthly
inanimate target shooting matches at the
Lincoln grounds, Alameda Point. The
Empire Club has offered splendid induce
ments to sportsmen who will contest in an
open shoot for valuable prizes on Sunday
afternoon at Alameda Point.
The club will hold its monthly contest
in the forenoon.
The dog-fanciers have commenced to
discuss the next field-trial contests, which
will undoubtedly be held near Bakers
field. The entries for the derby will close
with J. H. Kilgariff, the secretary, on
July 1.
'lhe Pacific Kennel Club will hold its
annual meeting and election of officers on
Wednesday evening next. A large attend
ance will undoubtedly be present, as busi
ness of more than ordinary importance
will be transacted.
In all probability the present officials
will be re-elected as they have done ex
cellent service. The club has always kept
in mind that it is the worst of policy to
remove from office men who have proven
themselves good and faithful servants.
The old adage, let well enough alone, will
not be forgotten by tne members who will
cast their ballots on Wednesday evening.
A breeder of some years' experience, but
whose modesty will not permit him to
subscribe his name, shies his castor into
the ring with the following challenge, says
the American Field: "Will some one of
the very many breeders of high-class fox
terriers and cocker spaniels tell me why it
is that the fox terrier is allowed a long leg
to win with, while the cocker spaniel must
be very low in the leg in order to win? I
have been reading Stonehenge in regard to
fox terriers, and I can't see consistency in
the types of a long-legged fox terrier and
a cocker that must crawl. I should think
to reverse the comparison would be a
proper thing, since the former was made
to go under ground and the latter to stay
on top." Here is a grand opportunity for
some authority to solemnly trot out the
time-honored hallucination that it is part
DEERHOUND "DERBY"
of a fox terrier's business to ran with
hounds.
In his report of the Pacific Kennel
Club's recent exhibition of dogs this is
what Judge Mortimer says of Dr. Mc-
Nutt's highly prized deerhound: Derby
was the only entry; a really grand- headed
dog of great size, excellent legs and feet,
good body and very muscular quarters,
but he is very slightly cowhocked and
does not move as well behind as he should
in his slow paces.
As large numbers o! Mongolian
pheasants have been introduced into
many of the near counties to San Fran
cisco within the past year, the following
opinion of a prominent Eastern sportsman
will be of interest to Calif ornians: Presi
dent E. G. Gay of the Maine Game and
Protective Association says that if pure
blooded Mongolian pheasants can be ob
tained they are a valuable acquisition to
the game of a State, but that the crossbred
birds are ferocious and destructive to
other game birds. Mr. Gay greatly pre
fers the capercailzie and black game from
Norway and Sweden if new birds are to be
introduced into his State.
THE BOXERS.
Tom Sharkey Doss Not Believe In
Slogsrlng— OaKland Bantams.
Now that the National Athletic Club's
warship "Physical Culture" has escaped
the treacherous rocks upon which Captain
Groom had feured it would founder there
is rejoicing among the fistic fraternity who
favor free sailing.
Tom Sharkey is delighted that there will
be no further impediments placed in his
way of a meeting with Champion Jim.
"Why," said Tom, "the idea that this con
test will be of a brutal nature is most
absurd. If any of the members of the
Civic federation, or any other federation
for that matter, had everseen me box they
would have changed their minds very
quickly — that is so far as brutal sport is
concerned.
"Any of the boys will tell you that I have
never hurt anybody in my life, and why?
Because I am scientific and understand
how to hit. I have whipped all of my op
ponents, but my work was cleanly done,
and I think the sporting people of this
City should give me some credit for what I
have accomplished.
"I suppose if I slogged my opponents out
I would be now considered a great fighter.
There is no need of the good people feel
ing any particular anxiety over the com
ing contest. lam scientific, and so is Jim
Corbett, therefore the sporting people can
count upon seeing a clever and interesting
exhibition of fisticuffs at the Pavilion on
the evening of the 24th inst.
"Why, the idea of Tom Sharkey being
called a slogger is preposterous. The fact
of the matter is. half the fellows who pre
tend to Know all about the game don't
know a good and clever boxer when they
see him perform, but they will change
their minds about Tom Sharkey after he
has a settlement with Champion Jim. 1 '
The bantam-weight boxing tournament
for the championship of the coast will
open in the Oakland Athletic Club's gym
nasium on Tuesday evening, the 30th inst.
A sanction has been received from the Pa
cific Athletic Association and extensive
preparations are being made with a view
of making this exhibition a grand success.
In the wrestling Douts the one of spe
cial interest will be a contest between
Harry Gelder, tbe champion feather
weight of the coast, and R. Wixon of the
lightweight cla-s. Amateur boxers from
the clubs of the association are now in
training for the boxing events. The club
rooms are located on the corner of B and
Hollis streets.
J. M. Whelan, a boxer of some note,
who is a pupil of Jimmy Carroll, states
his willingness to meet any 133 or 135
pound boxer of this coast in a finish or
limited round contest.
THE OARSMEN.
Stockton's Great Regatta and the
Crews That Are In Training.
The Stockton Athletic Association is
hard at work making preparations for the
rowing regatta which will be held on the
Fourth of July.
Knowing that rowing regattas on the
bay on the Fourth of July have been rele
gated to oblivion the association is alive
to th • issue and is making a strong bid to
have a Fourth of July regatta a special
feature of the yearly celebrations.
The oarsmen of Stockton intend to sur
prise the local men when they meet on
the channel, and if form cuts any ice the
Stockton boys, from the outrigger skiff
oarsmen down to the barge crew, should
make a hot pace for all competitors, for
they have been looking forward with pleas
ant anticipations to this regatta for months
back.
The great showing the Stocktonian row
ers made at El Campo lately has endowed
them with new energy. They have just
received their new boat from the East, and
are training morning and evening, and ex
pect to win everything in sight on the 4tn.
But while they are training hard up
there, the boys down here are by no means
idle. The South End big crew is hard at
it, for it expects a hot race to keep a long
string of successive victories intact.
If all the other events on the programme
fall below expectations, this race will cer
tainly repay one for the journey to Stock
ton.
Time was when the South Ends and
Pioneers went hand-in-hand for the good
of the sport, b,ut those good old days are
passed, and those who were once friends
are now the bitterest rivals.
The trouble all arose over the regatta
on September 9 at Sacramento, when the
Pioneers claimed to have been unjustly
treated in a decision, ana ever since have
been aching fora chance at the South End
crew in a reeatta that is not managed
by the South End Club.
They are now working like Trojans,
getting into condition. Each man in the
crew is the proud possessor of a pledge to
discontinue smoking. Tne weight of the
crew has been materially increased, as
each man has filled out considerably
since they raced last.
The Stockton crew they know are
worthy foes. Their great desire is to
lower the colors of the South End crew,
and it is cafe to say that from the drop
of the hat the hottest race ever witnessed
on this coast will take place when these
three crews meet to settle the much
mooted question of supremacy.
The Pioneers have a clever little cox
swain now. He is George Fitzsimmons,
one of the little Long Bridge wharf rats,
and what be does not Know about steer
ine a boat isn't worth knowing.
Pop Brennan, the Pioneer's coach, is
training the crew, and its personnel is as
follows: Fred Orr, bow and captain;
George Callopy, forwardwaist; Coney
Ochs, afterwaist; John Clifford, stroke,
and George Fitzsimmons, coxswain.
In addition to this crew, the Pioneers in
tend to send up a red-hot junior crew, and
are P' work trying out three aspiring
crews .0 be the club's representatives.
The following from the Ariel Club will
take part in tbe regatta: William Mc-
Causland and Jim Wilson in the senior
single scull event, Jim Wilson and Bob
Ellis in the outrigger skiff races; and the
following will compose the junior crew:
W. P. Prendergast, stroke; Frank Wilson,
atterwaist; J. Coughlin, forwardwaist; A.
Racouillat, bow; Ed Wilson, coxswain.
The club intends to enlarge its boat
house soon and make it a twoslory struc
ture, with a gymnasium and clubronms
on the top floor ana the boatroom on the
first floor. It will also give a jinks in
about two weeks.
The medals won in the recent El Campo
regatta will be distributed to the winners
at the South End boathouse to-morrow.
The occasion will be celebrated with an
entertainment.
Al Fritz of the South Ends, who is a
delegate from the Ass< ciated Improve
ment Clubs to the Golden Gate Carnival
Committee, intends to lend his efforts in
inducing the committee to set aside a suit
able sum for a regatta during carnival
week.
S. J. Pembroke, one of the most enthu
siastic oarsmen on the coast and instigator
of the big Lake Merntt regatta on Wash
ington's "birthday last, over which the
Oakland people became so elated, intends
to do his utmost for the interests of the
oarsmen in the coming carnival.
On the Oakland CreeK, June 27, the Ala
meda Boating and Swimming Club will
hold a club regatta.
The races will consist of outrigger skiff
events and a barge race.
Dr. Cecil Dennis and Fred Avers will
contest in the senior outrigger event. The
winner will row at Stockton. S. J. Pem
broke will also row for the club at the
Stockton re atta.
The Alaraedas have about eight cracka
jack outrigger skiffmen in training, and
say it will be a disappointment to them,
as it will be to the other clubs, if the ju
nior outrigger skiff race at the Stockton
regatta is eliminated, for a great mpny men
are in training for it.
Rowing has taken the fancy of the
League of the Cross Cadets and large num
bers have already applied for membership
to the South End Club.
Advices state that the Olympic Club
crew will not line up at Stockton in the
junior race, but in all probability the
Olympic senior crew will give an exhibi
tion race in their new shell.
The following officer were elected at the
recent meeting of the Dolphin Club: T. J.
Sullivan, president; J. B. Keenan, vice
president; F. Staib, financial secretary;
Joseph Earl, recording secretary; Peter
Yon Hadelen, sergeant-at-arms; Curly
Mogan, captain ; Fred Woerner, vice-cap
tain.
J. Coughlin will represent the club in
the senior outrigger skiff race at Stockton.
He will be their only representative.
THE ATHLETES.
Members of the Olympic Team Who
Will Soon Go North.
Captain Leonard Gill of the Olympic
Club is now satisfied that he will have the
pleasure of being accompanied in his trip
to Oregon by a very strong team of ath
letes. Gill says that unless the men who
will represent the Multnomah Athletic
Club are of the first class, the greater part
of the prizes will be captured by the
wearers of the flying "O."
It might just as well be stated now that
unless the representatives of the Olympic
Club are in first-class trim they will meet
with sui prises. Robert Edgren will cer
tainly win the hammer throw and Dave
Brown of Stanford should win the mile
race, but other than these events Cap
ain Gill's team will need be in the pink of
condition and qualified to compete against
some first-class athletes. The Multnomaii
Athletic Club people are not given much
to boasting, but judging from information
recently received from the north the
Olympic team will not have a walk over
by any means, even allowing that Cap
tain Gill has a large army of good men to
select from. . . _
W. C. Patterson, the athlete who broke
the coast record in high jumping at the
May field day by clearing s feet U%inc es,
will be one of the team, and in all prob
ability Bert Coffin, who has a record ot
bl\i seconds for a quarter and 2 mm. 3-5
sec. for a half, will go north also. The
team will in elude Captain Gill and nine
members of the Oly mpic Club.
The games, which will be neld in Port
land, Or., in the latter part of this mouth,
will be under the management of the
Multnomah Athletic Club.
The athlete's farewell to the Olympian
games is thus given by the Cleveland
Plain Dealer:
Maid of Athens, fre we part,
Give, ob, give me bHCk my n»art :
But if you to swap are loath,
Theal'll rac3 you, dear, for both!
It is presumed that the farewell of the
Olympic Club athletes to Portland will be
something like this:
Mfid of Portland, erf we part,
Give, oh, cive me b-.ck my heart;
But if :bis will not please pa,
Then fare thee well, sueet Multnomah!
CRICKET CHIRPS
Digests From Foreign Scorebook
and Local Happenings.
The Australians continue doing effective
work against their various English op
ponents. They gained a brilliant victory
over Yorkshire, at Sheffield, by an inning
and 8 runs. Their contest with "An
Eleven of the South," played at East
bourne, and mentioned in last week's
"Chirps," resulted in a draw.
The Middlesex and Yorkshire match,
played at Lords on the 28th ult., followed
its tradition of furnishing remarkable
cricket. Middlesex, after playing a first
inning of 384 runs, was beaten by 10
wickets. About 10,000 people were on the
ground.
Surrey gained a very easy victory over
Gloucestershire. Hay ward of the conquer
ing team made 153, the only century of
the match.
On the same day, at Lords, Somersets
were beaten by Middlesexes by an inning
and 101 runs. About 12,000 spectators
witnessed the match. Feeble batting and
very good bowling apparently accounted
for the triumph of Middlesex.
In the Gloucestershire-Sussex match,
played at Brighton, Champion W. G.
Grace not only carried his bat through the
Gloucestershire inning, but despite the
big scores of tne season, managed to make
the highest by bis perfectly compiled 243
runs and to beat Abel's previous best
of 231.
The Surrey eleven secured their seventh
win of the season at Nottinghamshire by
six wickets and the match between Lan
cashire and Rent, played at Manchester,
requited in a win for Lancashire by tnree
wickets. Hampshire had to submit to de
feat by Derbyshire by seven wickets.
At Oxford the university eleven gained
a brilliant victory over Somerset, winning
by an inning and 107 runs.
Comiug to local matters I hear that
Sharland, lately a cricketer of repute in
Kent, has joined the Pacifies and that
Sollura and Jones, ex- Mill Valley men,
have attached themselves to the Califor
nia team.
To-morrow the Pacifies and Californias
meet at Alameda, and the second elevens
of the Pacifies and Alamedas play at
Golden Gate. Umpibb.

Next Sunday there will be an open stake
at $1 for each dog, and $20 will be added
by the proprietors to the purse.
Members of the Interstate Coursing Club
should bear in. mind that nominations
(including $25) for the champion meeting,
to be held o:i Saturday, June 20, must be
in the hands of the secretary (J. R. Dick
son) not later than 8 o'clock on Wednes
day evening next at Delta Hall, 1019 Mar

| state ($10) will, of course, be received at
the same time. If but eight dogs enter for
the aged stake the prizes will be $100, $50
and two $25.
This will surely be the most interesting
coursing event yet held by the club. That
there will be a great gathering of the
leashmen and their friends is certain, and
"Ladies' day" will be something to talk
about hereafter among the lovers of the
leash. Messrs. Rosseter, Peyton, Mc-
Donald, Cronin, Healy (Petaluma), Spring,
Curtis and others who have crackerjack
dogs are sure to have nominations in the
"Ladies' day" meeting.
